You should know the old method to boot recovery is hack the chargemon,but with a bug is that you can not reboot into recovery from the system.
I pm @MrGezz and he said that your recovery is work prefect.So I want to try.
If rom using chargemon hack, this wont work.
Btw there may a problem on install scripts. Flashable version works. I'm going to fix install scripts today.

Dual recovery works only once, that is I am able to get to either CWM or TWRP and do backup/restore, but if I restore previously made backup, the other recovery disappears. Moreover, depending on the rom I restore, recovery is screwed, meaning either CWM or TWRP refuse to work: cannot unmount system. It probably makes sense, because previous backup comes with its own recovery.
So, I guess this works, but only on subsequent backups and restore. In other words, you can only restore backups made after installation of double recovery.
P.S. You should give credit (as opposed to just thanks) to those who helped you with this. They provided you with files and directions on how to do this.

A lot of people have locked bootloader here. So recoveries/scriptes must be based on ROM directories. If you use your old ROM backups this will gone. That is as natural as breathing.

That's right. But what is the point of having dual recovery? So that people can restore backups of prior roms made with CWM, but they can't do it, because dual recovery will be erased on restore. People with locked bootloaders can use CWM fine, but not TWRP. You should probably rewrite the script to have just TWRP. This way those with locked bootloaders can have it too. You don't really need dual recovery...
Good job, anyway...

Do your backups with dual recovery, you wont lost dual recovery.
This is simple like that.

2. DoomLord and FXP team - for cwm kernel (6.0.2.7) and too many things to mention
Link (do not mirror)
6.2.B.1.96 - http://www.mediafire.com/?nyd6iusho6kd848

6.2.B.0.200 - http://www.mediafire.com/?fbxqlf0jbkv8bik
Instructions:
1. Copy the downloaded file to the fastboot folder
2. Get into fastboot mode, and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel_62B196_acroS.elf
fastboot reboot
To get into CWM - Reboot your phone, press the volume up key a few times when the magenta led light appears
To get into TWRP - Reboot your phone, tap the screen a few times when the magenta led light appears

You're wrong.
There is TWRP 2.4.4.0 (if you keep pressing the touch on boot) and CWM (vol + on boot).
Also, I managed to root my Acro S with JB using TWRP.
Somehow when I tried to restart in TWRP, it asked if I wanted to root with SuperSu, I choose yes, it started, asked to Install SuperSu from Play, then I started It and then asked to root normal or by TWRP. I choose TWRP, it restarted and was rooted!
Cobrato, youre the man!

CM12 now comes with CyanogenMod recovery, which is unusable for now. So here are repacked kernels with TWRP and CWM.
For now, use Recovery-in-FOTA images! This thread probably will not be updated anymore. Also you can use this script.
Download TWRP (for PecanCM's Beta 3, not flashable)
Older versions (CWM included):
for FXP-2015-0115:
1. TWRP
2. CWM
For FXP-2015-0110 build:
1. TWRP (with fixed app2sd)
2. CWM
For PecanCM's 01.03 build:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
3. TWRP 2.8.3.0 (new)
For PecanCM's Beta 2:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
Thanks to:
@osm0sis for Android Image kitchen for Windows (and to @FindYanot and @Bonoboo for discovering it for me).
@JustArchi for compiling TWRP 2.8.3.0 for our device in ArchiDroid 3.0.1.1
Installation:
1. Extract archive to the root of external sdcard and run in terminal emulator su then /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
or in adb adb shell /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
2. Flash boot.img drom archive via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) or fastbootmode in Flashtool
These are obsolete, but will work though
3. Via adb:
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd (adb push *path*\boot.img /sdcard/ (replace *path* with path to file on your PC))
- adb shell dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
4. Via Terminal emulator (you can download it on Play Store):
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd
- Enter su and allow superuser access
- Type dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
I want warn, that at least CWM (probably and TWRP) not backup apps moved to sdcard.
Because it "don't know" that they on external sdcard1, not on sdcard0
So manually copy folder .android_secure only on PC via cardreader.
Or using RootExplorer copy all from /mnt/asec/
But restoring will be hard because it must performed before boot.
Hi @cucumber09 , I just wanted to know what are the changes in this kernel and original kernel except the recovery change...
Please tell..!

There are no other changes, I didn't rebuild the kernel, I just repacked it with replacing recovery ramdisk using very simple script.

Is it possible to restore them using AromaFM, or is this folder unmounting when the phone is not booted in system?
A little question
Err @cucumber09 Is this the same overclocked kernel from FindYanot or is this the stock kernel that's not oc? Cuz when i flashed this just now the performance is slower than FindYanot's kernel.

There no any word about overclock in first post.
So it's without overclock = nothing surprising that it's slower than with.
Yeah. You're right. Please don' t think of me as an idiot nor undestimate. I'm 11, but I rooted and unlocked the BL of my C1904 just to get Cm11 in 2012, I was just wondering as he said repacked etc. So i guess i have to TRY other things. Well the kernel's fine. Just that I wanted an oc cwm kernel.
Thanks @ Bonoboo

UPDATED!
Recoveries are updated for new build (press thanks to Bonoboo). Dload links are in the OP.
New TWRP version
Kernel with new version of TWRP (2.8.3.0), wich should be more compatible with Lollipop. Compiled by sir @JustArchi. I didn't test it on LP yet. If someone will test it, let me know is it working as it should. Changelog is here (our previous version is 2.8.0.0).
UPD: I already tested it: recovery works, but I don't know, is there any bugs.
Will this recovery work on 5.0.2 as well??

Introduction
Disclaimer: While this TWRP has been tested by myself on my own device to flash, wipe and backup, I make no warranties as to it's performance. Use at your own risk.
WARNING: flashable version contains a kernel boot image which will be flashed to your device along with the recovery image.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation instructions
This recovery image is for the E6553 single SIM Z3+. Do not use it on another model.
This recovery image requires an unlocked bootloader. You will lose some functionality on your phone if you unlock your bootloader
Do your research and make sure you're using the latest version of the relevant tools if you do decide to unlock.
DO NOT enable MyXperia functionality if you've unlocked your bootloader. You will brick your device.
This first download of this recovery image CANNOT be flashed to your phone and must be used in fastboot mode only
The second download is a flashable recovery
Use the first version to flash the second dual-boot.zip version
Unzip the recovery.zip file to extract the recovery.img file to use in fastboot mode
Code:
C:\>adb reboot bootloader
C:\>fastboot boot recovery.img
C:\>adb push dual-boot.zip /sdcard/dual-boot.zip
C:\>adb push dual-boot.zip.md5 /sdcard/dual-boot.zip.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now use the TWRP install feature to install dual-boot.zip. Follow the prompts of the Aroma graphical installer.
CAVEAT: this extends the boot time by about 5 - 10 seconds as ramdisk images need to be unpacked and there's a wait on a keypress to determine whether to enter recovery mode. In order to boot into recovery, press power on. When you see the yellow LED come on then press the down volume button once or twice. You will then boot into TWRP.
NOTE: the dual-boot.zip installs a new 28.0.A.8.251 kernel. If you're using the autoroot kernel from Devries you will need to flash SuperSU to re-root your device
This dual boot/recovery works by flashing the recovery image to the FOTAkernel partition. A custom ramdisk image contains the normal boot image. If the down volume keypress is detected, then the recovery ramdisk is automatically extracted from the FOTAKernel partition and flow of control switches to recovery. If no keypress is detected then the normal ramdisk is extracted and normal android boot ensues.
Those of you who installed version 1.0 please download and install this version 1.1 to fix the error with the startup of the trim area daemon

I'd venture to suggest that it's highly unlikely that locked bootloader recovery could work. The DM_VERITY is almost a guarantor of that. Just search for CONFIG_DM_VERITY or Verity in the Z3+ forums for more info.
Even if an exploit works, the second it modifies the system partition, the kernel panics and refuses to boot. The only way of preventing that is to flash a new kernel or edit the ramdisk to remove the verity key. And the only way to flash a new kernel / edit the ramdisk is to unlock the bootloader.
Thank you first for development... maazing!
I have unlocked the bootloader via Sony and then used an boot.img from Devries to root as root was my primary goal. I have flashbooted as per instructions the TWRP recovery.img that is provided here by the awesome dl12345 .
However the issue is that I am unable to boot to recovery after rebooting from TWRP. In other words the flashboot works and I am able to make a backup and use TWRP well but it doesn't seem to stick.
Am I doing something wrong. Should I have flashed a ROM first from xperfirm, Flashtools, and/or can I flash a kernel without it effecting the recovery. My knowledge is sketchy but I am totally up for testing if I can help.

This is correct behaviour. You're not actually flashing the recovery image, just temporarily booting a recovery kernel and associated ramdisk. Sony Xperia devices don't have a recovery partition, or more accurately, they don't have a bootloader than can check and load a boot image from a recovery partition.
Technically it's possible to make the boot image check for a ramdisk on another partition and use this instead of the normal ramdisk, but this is step two. Sony should be releasing an open recovery bootloader fairly soon for the Z3+ which will allow this recovery image to be flashed. It's already been released for other devices.
Until Sony releases open recovery for Z3+ or I spend the time trying to implement a feature that probably only has days or weeks of utility (until Sony releases the open recovery for Z3+) , you're stuck with a TWRP that you need to launch every time in fastboot mode.
On the first screen immediately after the TWRP logo comes up, the battery is always being reported at being 50%. Sometimes the correct number is displayed when in the flashing screen. Otherwise works great!

Thank you first for development... maazing!
I have unlocked the bootloader via Sony and then used an boot.img from Devries to root as root was my primary goal. I have flashbooted as per instructions the TWRP recovery.img that is provided here by the awesome dl12345 .
However the issue is that I am unable to boot to recovery after rebooting from TWRP. In other words the flashboot works and I am able to make a backup and use TWRP well but it doesn't seem to stick.
Am I doing something wrong. Should I have flashed a ROM first from xperfirm, Flashtools, and/or can I flash a kernel without it effecting the recovery. My knowledge is sketchy but I am totally up for testing if I can help.

Yes, I've temporarily disabled the link while I resolve a problem relating to the trim area daemon not starting up due to some peculiarity of the dual boot ramdisk. I'll reinstate it as soon as I fix the problem.

Flash TWRP to FOTA Partition(SONY XPERIA S).(Terminal Command Method)I will not responsible if you do something wrong to yor device
You can flash TWRP into fota partition if your kernel supports to flash it.(Ask the developer if support is available or not,To know more about Fota Partition Read here.).if yes then follow procedure.
1. You must have to root your ROM first.
2. Download TWRP.img (is the recovery file) from TWRP website.Place the downloaded twrp.img in sdcard. (Don’t place it under any folder.just copy to sdcard.if the downloaded file name is something else then rename it to twrp.img).
3. Now goto playstore and install terminal emulator app to your phone.
4. Now open terminal emulator app and type
su (and press enter key.it will ask for root permission.GRANT it) then type
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
(and press enter keyr.be careful while you writing the above commands.)
Finished.Now you have successfully flashed twrp recovery into fotapartition.Reboot your phone and when you see pink led just tap Volume UP key to enter to recovery.
Rom Flash Procedure
METHOD 2:
First extract boot.img and recovery.img from rom.zip and copy both to SD card root folder
1. Flash twrp recovery image like you flash kernel/boot.img(by flash tool or by fastboot method).
2. Enter to recovery.
Then follow the image by the numbers written in the image.Swipe to flash.
Then do the same for boot.img but choose boot. Img from SD card and boot(partition) in image 4. Swipe to flash and done.
Sir, Could you please help me.
I have CWM recovery installed on Xperia SL and is running Layers ROM Cm11 based.
But I am thinking of switching to a new rom as the earlier one was very laggy. ([ROM][XS][5.1.1][LMY48P] OneOfaKind 22/09/2015 | UberTC 4.9 | Layers | Aroma Addon)
Could you tell me what shall I do with regards to:
1. Making the build.script change to make it compatible with Xperia SL
2. Do I need a TWRP recovery ? How will it go alongwith the CWM recovery which I already have installed and running pretty well ?
Thanks !

First thing I am not sir..I am also like you...I have just shares my experience to which will help new comers in simple words.
As of your point 1 you have to make change to support on SL...
And about recovery.try to flash with cwm first if not succeed then flash twrp 2.8.4.1 or above and flash the rom.

Problem is I am not able to find support for Xperia SL
The difference between Xperia S and SL is just 1.5GHz and 1.7GHz CPU respectively.. but support for the latter is sh!t

As said by You, the difference is just in frequency, and none in hardware. So what ever applies to XS will apply to XSL.

So how about you push your AROMA fix to the official TWRP trees that everyone can profit from it?
Also that image is certainly not created by me. It might be based on the official TWRP, but the way you put it is missleading IMO.

Yes,now I have the same idea but doesn't matter I didn't write it created by me,I don't think it have matter for developer because he didn't share the recovery in xda.
I still wouldn't mind if _whoever did it_ would push the fix to the TWRP repository.

Hi I am quite having a hard time figuring out how to install TWRP on my XZP dual global version.
I already flashed the latest firmware last August... I also tried to follow installing it through ADB using command prompt yet nothing did work... Is there someone out here who can help me with flashing TWRP... Thanks
I use in this moment the original 3.2.3-0 version.
Where's is the problem to install TWRP? enable adb, call adb during running phone and accept the PC all time.
If the bootloader unlocked,, boot in Fastmode (hold Volume up during connecting the USB cable with the PC) . Check the driver via fastboot devices, If you see the phone call fastboot flash revovery TWRP. img (if your TWRP version has the name "TWRP. img"). After that you can boot into TWRP

You need to flash a kernel from a custom ROM first (like CarbonROM) in order to be able to boot from the recovery (FOTAKERNEL) partition. The stock kernels have recovery built-in and would use that instead of TWRP. You can get a CarbonROM kernel image (boot.img) from its flashable zip.
After flashing a custom kernel you can then flash the TWRP image via "fastboot flash recovery <recovery image>". You'll have to reboot the phone and follow the usual button combination (though I don't really know it's holding volume up or down) to access the recovery. Using "fastboot boot" will not work and it'll stuck on the Sony logo with the blue fastboot LED stay on.
I think twrp found from this thread,,you can check TWRP Folder,
,https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78121448&postcount=4
I've also the Stock Kernel (Pie) on the phone and can reach TWRP without any problems : you must hold Power and Volume (up or down? Not sure in this moment) till you see TWRP on the Screen (around 6 Sec.) Maybe the screen switched off... Switch it on via short press via Power... That's all
