I am able to boot into AOSP recovery by flashing boot.img and recovery.img from the latest FXP AOSP 5.1 (MR1_150613).

I am currently using FXP AOSP 5.1 with the special bootloader. I was using stock LP .270 firmware before.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Radelos:
Now then another stupid question :). Rock z1l Kernel is based on 270 rom which i use(stock prerooted) . Is it postele to Flash ower the stock Kernel? But then flashing twrp would be pointer as it is included thou
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] funiewski:
Rock kernel is for stock, but I don't know if it supports revovery on fota,check in kernels thread
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] glehel:
RockZ1L includes twrp recovery, and does not support the OTA partition.

twrp2.8.7

thank you [MENTION=4423274]o-l-a-v[/MENTION], flashed it: fastboot flash recovery TWRPv2.8.7.0_f2fs_Z1c.img

and twrp2.8.7 works.

edit: not all is working, if you reboot to system from twrp you get the message: "no OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" if you confirm with yes twrp boots normally to the OS (i'm on CM12.1). If you choose wipe -> advanced wipe within twrp it shows only the option wipe dalvic, all the other options are missing.

edit: choosing mount within twrp, don't show any partition to mount.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] o-l-a-v:
I have no clue why. Did exactly the same as with v2.8.6.0. Just added mkfs.exfat and fsck.exfat. Will try to make one with just f2fs, then you could test it. I removed all DLs for now guys!

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] paulle:
Turn off you device.

Then, reboot by pressing the Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously.

Keep the buttons pressed for a short while – a few seconds – and then release the same.

The recovery mode menu should be displayed.

or

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doomlord.xperiareboot
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] paulle:
You enter fastboot mode by powering down the device, holding the VOL-UP key, and then plugging in the USB cable. You’ll see the LED shine blue, then you can install any recovery with a command such as:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Entry to recovery is also simple. While the device is powered down, simply hold VOL-DOWN and then press and hold the POWER button. Keep both buttons held until you see the SONY splash logo. You will boot directly into recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] levone1:
Sorry if I missed it, but it seems a little unclear... Is there a working, ready-to-use copy of 2.8.7.0 posted for z1c? I see on the official site that z1c is not listed as supported device, and I understand that we could somehow compile it ourselves, but I just wonder if someone has it here. There was a conversation in this thread that referred to it, but it seems like there's a question as to whether or not it's working. Thanks

Could it be that flashing of a Kernel (M5) doesn't work with this anymore, even though it was working on my installation previously, or is it my device? I flash the latest official CM12.1 nightly every week, but after the first dirty flash update the kernel didn't worked. Any trick, that I missed or does it mean, I need to clean install CM and Kernel with every update? I was wondering if it's a problem of FOTA TWRP

How you flash kernel? After flash. Bootloop or what?

even after 4hours of google and searching I was not able to get an answer. Why not using the introduced Recovery Partition 3 months ago? http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/

I want to use latest CM and somehow, since a few days, a seperate recovery image is available http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=amami sry for posting here, but your recovery is linked in a thread to be used.

So in the end, I am totally confused, there is no "clean" installation method, even the CM wiki tells me to flash boot.img with recovery included while sony annoueced seperate recovery partition 3 months ago, and I am not able to find a recovery.im do flash... Is it not working well or why still the old way is used?

I want to go to latest Stock, then unlock bootloader (without saving TA-partition), and then I wanted to use the seperate recovery partiiton I am used to work with on my other Android devices.

So please any hint or thrad or anything which might help me :) I am really lost, but this recovery seems to be the most used one, so I am asking here.

Odd, when I flash the supposed TWRP 2.8.7 from that post, I get the stock CM recovery on my Z1c, latest CM12.1 nightly.

TWRP 2.8.6 from the first post in this thread works just fine, though.

If I use an unmodified stock kernel I can't get into this recovery. I thought, I don't need to modify again the kernel by using this recovery. Or am I doing it wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] funiewski:
my limited knowledge is that unmodified stock uses fota partiton for other tasks, in post #17 in this thread you can find boot.img for stock which you can use with fota recovery
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ponchofiesta:
But what is the benefit in using this way of recovery if we still have to modify the kernel?

I thought this makes the recovery work like on phones with seperate recovery partition.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] funiewski:
it works in that way on all cm/aosp based roms, regardless which recovery is inside the rom you can have same recovery on fota, all nandroid back ups are in same format. There are other recoverys made for fota: phils, cwm, simple cm.

I have a big problem.

I installed Cyanogenmod 12 Official Nightly and installed Fota to get a recovery. But today I installed the latest Nightly via the CM Delta App to save time and it screwed up my system.

It doesn't boot anymore - just gets stuck at the SONY Logo. I can't enter recovery via pressing Vol up or down.

I can only access fastboot. I reinstalled Fota but have no way of entering recovery. If I reboot the phone just gets stuck at the SONY Logo again.

Plz help I'm out of ideas.

I would try flashing the complete rom via fastboot but I can't manage to find a guide fo doing that.

I also have a complete backup of my latest CM11 M12 system but no way of recovering it.

I would be thankful for anything!

Edit: I have literally no idea at all why it worked now. i just got something to eat. When I came back I could enter recovery mode after flashing fota and typing "fastboot reboot". Now the system boots up again as if nothing happened.

I found a solution to boot up in the recovery on lollipop, cm12 or slimlp rom with this recovery.;) Especially for someone like me who can't boot lollipop up sometime.

power off your phone

power on your phone and waiting for led

the first led is gonna be pink(at least for me), and now hold vol up button, and followed by plug your usb cable(yes, you need a computer)

just hold button

the led will turn to yellow, and there is the recovery!
