Introduction
Hi to all dear Z3 users. This is my first TWRP build, I used omni minimal TWRP source and kernel from Sony git.
I hope you enjoy this.
How to install
Fist of all you MUST flash lastest 23.5.A.1.291 firmware with FlashTool at least one time, for upgrade the bootloader (You need this upgrade for boot on recovery).
Via fastboot
Reboot your phone on fastboot mode.
Flash recovery using this command:
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel <filename>
Via zip (You need a working recovery installed)
Download the zip and put it on your internal or external memory.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash the zip.
Via Official TWRP App (You need root)
Install the app from Google Play Store and download the zip.
Extract recovery.img and copy it to your internal or external memory.
Open the app, give root permissions and tap on TWRP FLASH.
Tap on Select a file to flash...
Select the recovery.img and flash it.
Download

FAQs
Q. How boot on recovery?
A. With the device turned off, press power and vol- at same time until it vibrates.
Q. Does it works with Z3 dual sim?
A. It should work, since Z3 and Z3 dual sim are like 99% the same device, but is not tested (yet) so you Z3 dual users have to test it and report.
Q. Does it works with stock or custom ROMs?
A. At this momment I know that it is fully compatible with stock ROMs (or stock based ROMs) but at this momment is not tested with custom ROMs, so you users have to test it and report.

Thank you so much for the latest TWRP for our device. I use it with official CarbonROM from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/orig-development/8-1-x-carbonrom-cr-6-1-t3771546
and it works like a charm. The only recovery I could find, which enables full-featured OTA updates and installation of ROM and GApps without up- and downgrade cycle.
Keep up the good work

Can you mount data partition? If not, then you coud try to format data.

@ShadowElite so its a recovery for Android 6 Mashmallow compatible with higher Android versions? amazing. EDIT: doesn't boot up.

---

Hi. Thanks for your work.
I installed this TWRP on my Sony Xperia Z3 (D6603) running Marshmallow 6.0.1 (23.5.A.1.291) and it only booted in recovery mode. Then i installed OMNI ROM (7.1.2) and since then it only boots into system. Is there any way to boot recovery mode and also have the system working? Anything to flash? Thank you in advance.

This recovery is compatible with carbon, but with omni results with sim not being detected for me.

Turn your phone off. Then, hold its volume up button whilst connecting it to the computer through an USB cable, until you notice its led lighten up in blue color. Let's suppose your TWRP image file is named recovery.img. Then, in a terminal command window, enter:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
Replace recovery.img by the actual name of your TWRP image file. And everything else is case sensitive. If you have a Windows computer and don't have the fastboot command yet, search xda for 'Minimal adb & fastboot'.
To enter TWRP after flashing it, starting with your phone turned off, hold both the power and volume down buttons. When your phone vibrates (as if it was being turned on), release the power button. Some seconds later, release the volume down button.
