Hello everybody!
I want to ask something about my Sony Z5 Premium (Marshmallow 6.0.1 bootloader unlocked).
I want to root it via Recovery Mode, but i see that sony hasn't a recovery mode!
I try to reset via adb reboot recovery or power vol + or power vol - but nothing, it reset only. I heard about TWRP, but i don't know how to install it. Can someone help me installing the TWRP, so i can install the SuperSU zip? (sorry for my english, i'm italian and i'm new in this forum )

Look in the Z5P Android Development forum. There's a thread there detailing the steps to root.

I had rooted and installed HD 3.0.2 custom ROM on my son's Sony xperia arc s successfully and it was working well but the adventurist mind set to work and I wanted to try the jelly droid custom ROM.
I went to recovery mode via x tools and did the factory reset and formatting system.
Then I clicked install zip from SD card.it showed that update installed successfully then after around 15 minutes and no further instruction,I rebooted the phone.seems like I missed some step or something which I am not aware of.
now it only shows the Sony screen.I attempted going to the recovery mode pressing the combo keys volume down and power after taking out the battery but nothing transpired.
have I bricked my phone?
Is there any way I could bring it back to life?
would be obliged if anyone could recommend some steps to try and restart the phone.
thanking in anticipation

Did you flash the correct kernel for your phone? Ultimate HD uses stock kernel while the Jelly Droid should be using a custom kernel. You need to have bootloader unlocked to use a custom kernel. CWM does not work after flashing the update package as X tools installs CWM into /system which you just formatted. To be able to use CWM after changing ROM, use a stock or custom kernel that has CWM pre installed on it.

Thanks for your quick reply.it seems I did not flash any kernel or anything else prior to pressing the install from zip.seems a grave mistake on my part.
now that the phone does not even start up what could I do to recover the phone.
I am a complete novice and would request your good self to kindly suggest remedial measures to go back to the stock ROM or HD 3.0.2.The boot loader I think was unlocked before attempting to root the phone.the phone only shows SONY written on it.no turning off even.having to pull the battery to put of the screen.
Thanks n regards

To recover your phone, use Flashtool and install stock firmware to your phone with a correct FTF file. You can find the FTF file from the forum, just search.
OR if you have locked bootloader, then you can also use PC Companion to repair your phone.
Sent from LT18i with custom firmware by myself.
Since you have bootloader unlocked, I recommend that you repair your phone using flashtool, since it's a hassle to relock bootloader to use Sony Update Service. After restoring your phone, flash a stock kernel with CWM on it so you can still use CWM after changing ROM. If you want to go back to UHD, Jader recommends LuPuS kernel to use with his ROM.

First of all, calm down , i rarely see arc-s really bricked and not recoverables so ,in this case, the best metod is a thinking mind. Answer my questions.
1° Have you checked your bootloader if it's locked/unlocked or if there is possibility to unlock it ? There are a plenty of guides about it.
2° Please describe how you have installed the rom.
If you have the possibility to reach the recovery , you have to fully format the phone. Factory reset, format system cache and dalvik. Only after that, try to re-flash the rom.

Are you even sure if it's volume up?
Flash mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down back button.
Fastboot mode -> connect phone to PC while holding down menu button.
Enter recovery(if installed) -> hold volume down button when phone boots up.

Did you flash correct kernel for your ROM? The ROM will not boot if the kernel is not compatible.

You don't flash kernel with cwm... Flash kernel using fastboot... Kernels will give you access to recovery...

PC Companion's repair option should work as well, try that one. If you wish to stick to Flashtool, then first make sure you got drivers installed.

when you power on the device, you'll see green LED and the phone vibrates twice. then you have to press vol up for philz or vol down for twrp thrice.

Dear all,
im using oppo find 7 and now i have problem to enter a recovery, when i press power button + vol down, screen show fastboot, all this happen after i root my phone using KingRoot, im planning to install CWM to replace recovery. but also fail..:crying::crying::crying:
NEED HELP FROM PROS... THANKS A LOT....
Did you try pwr + vol+ buttons? Anyway if u have just rooted you need to go into fastboot, flash the recovery and then boot into recovery. Make sure u unlock bootloader when in fast boot. Else recovery will be wiped. Also i suggest using TWRP instead of cwm.

I was reading about CyanogenMode, I really liked the Idea So I think that I need to give it a try
I read about flashing and recovery and the features you get when you use a custom ROM
I followed this thread
I saw that the build version is not the same as my T2 'I have 5.1 android version with build ' 19.4.A.0.182'' so I get upset until I reach the page 8 where the author 'abcdjdj' says that he updated the dual recovery img file and it's support the build ' 19.4.A.0.182' without problem
So I get excited, I navigated to Sony website followed the instructions to unlock my boot-loader and everything is OK.
I have successfully unlocked the boot-loader, so I moved to the next step I flashed the custom recovery using the fast-boot 'from android SDK' which has the file name ''TWRP-KK-T2_DUAL-V3.img" then when powering the device on I got to the first screen '.. By android' and 'Sony' stuffs then the device restart and a violet led lighting 'I think this called boot loop'
I've become afraid 'OMG I've just bricked my phone!'
But I remembered that I can access the recovery by pressing the volume-down button by pressing the volume-down button I get to the recovery main screen and everything is OK but I cannot boot to the system
I was thinking that I can now install CM so I do backup using the recovery, then copied the backup file to the SD card and wiped the dalvik cache after doing a simple wipe 'factory reset from the wipe menu in the TWRP recovery'
Then I moved to 'install from a zip file' option and choose the file 'cm-11-20141105-EXPERIMENTAL-tianchi' which I have downloaded from the official site of CM 'from this link' after TWRP finished installing the CM I choose to boot from the system and this is where everything turns into a living hell
My T2 is just stop working and I cannot powering it on again and when I connect it to my notebook nothing happen just nothing just the usb icon in the 'system notification area'!
I wish I could go back to the 'adb' and the blue led step again!
I've tried to press the power button with the volume-down button it worked for just a seconds and then shutting down again
So I repeated this step and then Immediately pressed the volume-up button, I get blue led again and I've confirmed that the fast-boot is still seeing my T2 by writing in the command prompt 'fastboot devices'
Can you please help me? What I can do? Please Is there any hope that I can get my T2 back to life
BTW I'm so sorry for my bad English I'm doing my best to improve it
Can I do a Software repair using Xperia Companion?
No It seems like I cannot do that I tried and I get this error:

I don't mind if I lose all the data but I don't want to lose my phone
Can you explain to me Why this happened knowing that the problem begin with the recovery itself since I get a boot-loop
Is this a soft-brick or hard-brick?
I see you mentioned ftf downloader tool 'XperiFirm' I have downloaded a stock ROM before can I just use it?
I downloaded it from this link
If I succeeded resurrecting my phone can I re-try installing CyanogenMode again? or this means that this Mode does not support my phone?
Please forgive my ignorance And Thank you again.

When you boot the phone, you should get a colored led flash, maybe purple, then press up or down while led is lit. Alternately, if you have updated bootloader and a compatible recovery, you can turn off phone, then hold power and volume down together until vibrate, then release. If neither works, run XZDR installer on your PC, then try again - http://nut.xperia-files.com/
I get no flash when booting, I've tried pressing power and vol down until vibrate I just get a blank screen. I'm going to install XZDR I'll get back to you
Thx mate it worked I can now boot into recovery
