can't install TWRP 3.0.2 - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hey guys ,
So, I am following this tutorial to install TWRP 3.0 so that I can install MM roms. I have rooted stock rom 5.1.1 , build nuber is 14.6.A.1.236 with stock kernel with super su instaled. Is there anyway I can install it ? My device is c6802. The instructions are not working as it says successfully flash but just wont boot into the recovery.

Whats keys are you pressing to boot into recovery?

Dont be afraid
Just install flashify app form the market. Download twrp.img and flash it whit flashify app.
Dont recovery from any app.
Just power off completely your phone, then hold vol- and power until you see xperia sony logo, just realease power and keep holding vol down it wil boot up twrp

I had this problem the other day. I had TWRP 2.8.7 installed, then flashed 3.0.2 successfully according to fastboot, but when booting into recovery it kept going to 2.8.7. Try flashing the latest non-rooted stock ROM with Flashtool and Xperifirm, and then follow the instructions in post #3 above. That solved the issue for me.

If you see the words Xperia & Sony in the boot splash (using the PWR + Vol-, then Vol- after vibrate), then your bootloader is not unlocked. And TWRP 3.0-2-0 installs into the recovery partition, which will only be booted into by an unlocked bootloader.
An unlocked bootloader only displays 'SONY' in the boot splash when booting to recovery.

[Q] help me Power button is dead

HI,
I am using C6833
I've got a problem that the power button is not pressed
I can not turn on the power
Fast boot is not working Only flash mode
Anything you can reboot into flash mode?
Had to reboot through recovery
However, the recovery by the update disappeared :crying:
Now is only charged
​Can not install the recovery by flashtool?
​Please help me !!
Fastboot: VOL UP
Flashmode: VOL DOWN
Yes, you can access recovery by flashing a kernel that has Recovery. The you power it on (somehow), and boot into recovery. May i ask you what you want to do in Recovery?

Hi thank you
Bet Fast Boot Not Working
only flashmod working
Can I flash a custom kernel with Ftf?
only Ftf flash
I want TWRP
You'll need to use Fastboot to flash a kernel. You can flash a stock ROM using flashmode if you want to. Just remember to un-check "data" and stuff under "Wipe" before flashing, unless you want to delete everything on your Ultra.

[GUIDE] Restoring Stock ROM, Recovery, Unbrick, and Rooting 5.0 on Padfone S

I had stuck on ASUS logo, after I do a lot of researches, a lot of trials and errors for 4 hours. I managed to fix them and I wanted to share how I did here.
Easiest way to root lollipop WW-12.2.2.27
use KingRoot from http://www.kingroot.net/down ,It is android app which will run exploit to root the device successfully.
Not Kingoroot Kingoroot was unable to root. Towelroot v1 works only on Kitkat, but not lollipop.
To boot into fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader
OR turn off device, press and hold power and volume up, until asus logo appear, and stuck at asus logo, that is fastboot mode, to exit fastboot with buttons, press and hold vol down and power button.
To restore stock recovery and ROM after you install TWRP or CWM, or unbrick device
First, note that stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59055653&postcount=29, does not work for me (maybe everyone else as well).
I flashed it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, when I try to boot into recovery using, vol down and power, then select enter recovery, it stucks at asus logo.
First you need to flash TWRP_2.8.7.0.img from http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/recovery/
using fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img It will show that flashing FAILED (remote: can't flash unsigned image), it fact, it was succeeded, now you can go ahead and boot to recovery.
Note that this version of TWRP, and 2.8.6.0, and CWM cannot successfully flash stock zip ROM, it may show errors, or when you try to boot the device, it will stuck at ASUS logo. But now, we are going to need TWRP_2.8.7.0 to unlock bootloader.
Let's unlock bootloader
simply flash http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/CrowLock_RC3.zip with TWRP
You can check bootloader status with fastboot oem device-info
Before unlock :
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
After unlock
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
Let's flash stock Kitkat Firmware
You have to unlock bootloader becuase, well it is complicated.
The only TWRP recovery that can successfully flash stock .zip firmware from ASUS is http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img
But this recovery has another bug, if you flash recovery and try to boot to recovery, you will get blank screen, but TWRP is indeed working, you touch the screen and it vibrates back. Anyway you have tofastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img because it will be needed later for upgrading Kitkat to Lollipop.
If you don't unlock bootloader, you will not be able to boot into recovery directly without flashing to recovery partition Now let's get into fastboot mode, and fastboot boot asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img, by booting into this recovery directly via fastboot without flashing it first, you will not get black screen bug of this recovery., if you boot to this recovery from recovery partition, you will get black screen as I told previously.
Now let's flash downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware from http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone_S/UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-99.99.99.0-user-wipedata.zip with TWRP 2.7.1.1.
This is for only WW SKU, not TW SKU. And all userdata will be wiped.
Browse all firmwares and there is TW SKU downgrade here : https://www.asus.com/Phone/PadFone_S_PF500KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Ok, now reboot to system, and yeah, it finally boots now.
The recovery is still TWRP, not stock one, let's upgrade to lollipop and restore stock recovery using TWRP. Simply place http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/PadFone_S/UL-ASUS_T00N-WW-12.2.2.27-user.zip to root of Internal Memory, unplug usb, press confirmation in notification to begin install lollipop. After device reboot, it will stay blank screen for 5 minutes, don't worry, it is updating to lollipop, after upgrade is done, it will reboot, and recovery will be restored to stock recovery now.
Bootloader is still unlocked.
Another method to root is
fastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img (recovery is restored to stock now remember)
then flash https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1 with TWRP.
To lock bootloader again, boot into fastboot
then fastboot oem reset-dev_info
But I wouldn't recommend you to lock bootloader, you will lose ability to boot to TWRP recovery without replacing stock recovery, unless you are going to send your device to service center and claim warranty.

Hi im a noob so ill get straight to the point.
You said "Note that this version of TWRP, and 2.8.6.0, and CWM cannot successfully flash stock zip ROM, it may show errors, or when you try to boot the device, it will stuck at ASUS logo."
I have two question as follow:
1. So can i use twrp to flash stock rom or not?
2. Because I'm still at Kit Kat, I dont need to unlock bootloader and flash Kit Kat firmware right?
3. If so, Can I follow the tutorial until flashing the TWRP? but which TWRP that I need to install?
4. All these tutorial to unbrick needs to be done before you brick your phone right? What should i do if i already brick my phone?
Kindly advise.

The only TWRP recovery that can successfully flash stock .zip firmware from ASUS is asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img
If you are bricked, but you can still access fastboot mode, then you can unbrick and reflash stock firmware to your phone
First of all, Thank you so much for this GUIDE
Here are my doubts, and hoping for confirmation from you. My Padfone S is running well on latest kitkat firmware, rooted with SuperSu and TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed. Now, I wished to upgrade to Lollipop firmware.
Can I use the TWRP 2.7.1.1 to clean install the lollipop firmware instead of the stock recovery because I wished to wipe date, cache as well as SYSTEM before flashing?
My concern is I afraid if wipe the SYSTEM then the TWRP 2.7.1.1 would not be able to flash the Lollipop firmware successfully. Do I need to unlock bootloader in my case?
If I can do so, then can I still use the Flashify to flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 on the lollipop firmware, or I must use "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img" method.
Thanks in advance for your kindly reply.:laugh:
Bootlooped
When I am upgrading my SuperSU and it requires a reboot,it automatically boot looped itself.
What should I do?

Is your device rooted? If yes, download any "Reboot app that needs Root", press the reboot to recovery and it should work. If it doesnt boot to recovery, it means the recovery was not installed properly.
Can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=phongit.quickreboot&hl=en
Alternatively, install this app and it can allow you to select which recovery to install. If you have your recovery installed, it will be detected.

Thanks for your answer!
The device is not rooted and it is not planed to do it in the original rom because I want to backup the original rom from recovery without any changes.
Do you know how i can check if the recovery was flashed properly?

I was under the impression that the Z2 Tab doesn't support reboot to recovery and instead you wait until the LED turns green on power-up and then you hold Vol-Down until it turns purple. The device will then boot to recovery.
At least, my rooted SGP511 won't reboot into recovery via any of the usual apps, but above works every time.

TWRP flash succesful, but no recovery boot.

Hi All,
I have an Redmi 3 pro with unlocked BL and the latest "official" weekly 7.3.9 from xiaomi.eu and latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 from official twrp site.
I am unable to flash twrp.
I flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then boot into it using fastboot boot recovery.img with no issue at all.
Then,
if i reboot into recovery from twrp itself it still works.
if i let it boot the phone in its bootloader (POW+VOL_UP the one where you can choose "download" "fasboot" or "recovery") and i select recovery, it does not boot. The phone boots instead.
if i choose from the updater to reboot in recovery, same.
if i choose from flashify (which shows me "stock recovery" is installed), same.
if i use adb reboot recovery same.
i can only boot it using command fastboot boot recovery.img.
It just looks like the twrp flash says OKAY but it's not being flashed.
I've also tried cofface recovery with no success.
i've also tried official twrp app with no success.
everytime flash goes fine and successfully, but i'm unable to boot the phone in recovery itself.
i must always use fastboot boot recovery.img
Hints?
Hi @lalontra,
Use combination of Power+Vol(+)+Vol(-) button. It should boots you to recovery.
Regards.

It is error in this release ROM
You are not alone, its problem of this concrete ROM from 9.3.2017 ido.! You must flash different ROM, previous release.

The Volume+ and Volume- and Power worked for me even with the rom error. Hold all buttons til you see the Mi logo, then release Power but keep holding both of the Volume buttons. I also reflashed TWRP Recovery via Fastboot, so maybe that was it.
I'm also facing a problem around TWRP 3.0.2.
But different situation
I always failed/unable to boot into recovery or bootloader everytime I click reboot recovery or bootloader button in TWRP recovery mode.
I still try to find a way how to fix it. Because all the articles that I found always explain about "cannot enter to recovery mode from the system", not from the recovery mode itself.
Do you got anything from all the steps above? Please let me know if there something u can share. Thanks in advance
Here's what happened in my xiaomi redmi 3 pro. Always failed to boot into recovery again or into bootloader mode when I'm still in TWRP mode.

Kernel + TWRP

Hello guys,
So i've tried to flash twrp on my m4 aqua (e2303) for a few days, but with no success. I tried fastboot and flashing apps for the phone (flashify says it cant find the recovery partition, something like that). In fastboot it says that its installed but it is not. It doesn't boot to recovery (tried it with button combinations, adb command and flashify's in app option)
I managed to unlock the bootloader with flashtool and flash the boot.img with fastboot that gives root access, but no success with flashing twrp.
So i was wondering is there a kernel that i can flash with the flashtool, which has an included twrp ?
The kernels that i found don't include any custom recoveries in them... Any help ?
Thanks in advance

TWRP should be installed with fastboot if it says it's installed. What button combination did you do? Hold power button and volume down sinulateneously till it vibrate then continuely smash the volume down button. Should boot.

Well, i have to admit that this is the only button combination that helped.
I obviously did something wrong when trying to access the recovery. Thanks so much!
Dont judge, im a noob :cyclops:
