Hey guys,
I have a problem with my Z1C.
I used CM 12.1 quite a while now and I wanted to know how much difference is to Android 6.
So I downloaded the Remix Resurrection rom and flashed the boot.img in fastboot mode to replace the CM-recovery with TWRP. That was a bit tricky, because CM deleted TWRP again and again and booted in the CM-recovery.
So, finally I got TWRP working, after booting directly into the recovery after flashing the boot.img via fastboot.
TWRP now told me, that no OS is installed. I tried to wipe the phone and to install the RR-rom, but the recovery always said that it has the wrong version (?).
So I flashed the boot.img from the Cyanogenmod-zip and was able to boot into CM again. But now there seems to be no recovery on the phone. Whenever I try to boot to the recovery, the Sony logo appears and the notification light turns into orange, but then it starts again to do so.
At the moment I try to boot into CM again, but I think it has stucked in a bootloop...
What can I do here? The only thing what works is to boot into fastboot mode, but without the system.img I cant flash any roms there. How can I fix this?
Thanks!

Shut down your device and press volume up button while connecting it to your computer. Then it will boot into fastboot mode and you should be able to flash stock firmware in flashtool, and then you can start from scratch.

Another option is to follow this guide to install Recovery and When done you can boot into Recovery and flash a custom rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719

Try Rashr app from play store. It sounds to me like incompatible kernel/recovery combo. Download a recovery IMG, (latest TWRP, for example), then use Rashr to flash it. You can also use it for flashing a boot IMG. Its probably the same reason you had trouble flashing ROM.
Besides that, you can install real recovery, which works the same regardless of the kernel-

Okay, after flashing it with flashtool it starts again. I now put the RR rom with Android 5.1 on.
I have again the CM recovery, but at least it starts how it should.
I will try to flash the real recovery, thanks!
Update:
Currently running RR with Android 5.1.
I would now like to use RR with Android 6, but again, I can only boot into the Cyanogen recovery, which cant make a backup of the currently running OS. I have tried to flash the boot.img from RR 5.1 with fastboot, Rashr, but nothing seems to work, as it puts me back to the Cyanogen recovery every time. How can I replace the Cyanogen recovery?
And one more question: When the phone starts, the notification light turns into red before the Sonmy logo appears and then turns into pink. What does the red light mean?

You need a recovery img, not boot img. Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65361797&postcount=78 or this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719 Open Rashr, choose ' recovery from storage'.
Okay, i flashed the 2.8.6.0 version via Rashr and now Im stuck on the Sony logo...the notification light is orange all the time, but I cant restart the phone anymore...any suggestions?
Edit: Worked! Used the combination between power and Vol+ to reset, and now it starts!
You should disable CM Recovery Protection – On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then disable the ‘Update recovery with system updates’ option. Otherwise it will keep installing cm recovery itself.
Hi,
I had TWRP .28 recovery installed but it was unable to decrypt data, so I decided to flash stock recovery back via fastboot. Now if I try to boot into recovery I get the 1+ logo and after that the phone gets stuck in black screen. I tried to flash it again and same issue.
How can I get the stock recovery working again?
Same here. I got a boot cycle after the update of 4.0.1 and thought, reverting to stock recovery is a good idea ... NOT.
The problem now is the the same as you described it: black screen after the 1+ Logo.
When selecting the boot options (unlocked OEM Warning) i can go to fastboot, but the device is not found => no sideloading
Any idea

I managed to fix mine. Apparently the old stock recovery doesn't work with Android N. I downloaded open beta 8 recovery and flashed it via fastboot.
I got the link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/ota-failed-boot-stock-recovery-t3533927/post70445320
Hi all, looking for some help here.
I picked up a pair of P607's to install Lineage on.
1. I flashed (via ODIN) the latest Samsung factory build from Sam Mobile (Now running 5.1.1).
2. Grabbed the latest TWRP tar file (twrp-3.1.1-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar)
3. Flashed TWRP via ODIN (AP button, selected the twrp tar, unchecked auto-reboot)
4. Held power button and turned off.
5. Powered back on and Held the [home - vol up - pwr] to boot into recovery to check TWRP.... and..... Recovery Boot Loop.
Odly enough, if I get it back into download mode and just boot it normally, it will boot fine back into the OS (stock rom, not lineage yet)
I can recover back to the factory by re-flashing the stock rom again, so it's recoverable.
I've tried with two different 3.1 TWRP versions now, twrp-3.1.0-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar and twrp-3.1.1-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar, both do the same thing.
Any ideas on this one?
There's definitely some odd issues with TWRP for this device...
3.1.1 Failed
3.1.0 Failed
3.0.2 Worked and boots into TWRP
Would be nice to get the latest TWRP working for this device, anyone interested in logs from the 3.1.0 or 3.1.1 attempts?
how did you get out of the boot loop? i cant seem to get back in to download mode

Today I got the same bootloop problem.
Impossible to enter the Download-Mode.
I removed carefully the Backcover and disconnect the battery plug for some seconds.
On the next start I´m holding down Vol- and entered Download Mode.
With Odin I flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 (same version like before) and its working again without loosing the installed programs.
I think you can also wait until the battery is empty .....
Hope it helps a bit to recover a great tablet.

Most ROMs here install fine with 3.0.2. That's what I am using on my 607T.
I have cyanogen mode 13 installed and TWRP 2.8.7.0 and decided to update TWRP thru offical TWRP app and when updating I had the (Allow flashing to boot partition box ticked)
I have tried to update TWRP with box unticked but not working.
When rebooting to recovery it gets to HTC logo saying ENTERING RECOVERY and goes into loop continious.
When I hold volume up and power it will boot to os and normal operation.
Any clues on how to fix boot partition and reinstall TWRP?
kind regards
Solved
I installed an older version 3.0.1.0 TWRP and its fixed
i have razer phone 2.
I installed twrp via fastboot then I got stuck on logo screen
now I can not go to recovery mode I can just go to fastboot and flash any rom
please i need help ????
er.. this actually needs to be in https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone-2 (note -2) !
dunno for sure, but would think you can "fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img"
Be sure to opt out of installing TWRP app, as that can cause bootlooping.
HTH
Hello i have the same problem, and i couldn't find a solution anywhere...
Please Help !!
Edit: what i did, i switched the partition to b, then flashed it with twrp recovery, then i tried to reboot to recovery, and got the razer logo stuck up there..
when i switch back to partition a, the recovery was the original one.
