if you have androplus kernel - yes, press power button, clean stock kernel - never tested
but ub is mandatory
ok thanks anyway...was hoping not to have to unlock bootloader.

Great.
Were you able to compile it yourself?
If yes, could you point to source code.
I was unable to compile it before and would love to try again.

No compiling, here is description how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719
This one reverts my recovery to stock CM. Fota 2.8.4.0 worked though, glad I didn't delete it.

I have the same issue. It flashes CM recovery not TWRP.
Androplus kernel has TWRP already, it is integrated, there is no need to flash TWRP over it.
The one below ( have not tested the latest, but the old one worked) flashes TWRP correctly,

This is just packing the zImage of CM12 and the ramdisk of Fota TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery for amami <http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719>,
plus default.prop modification: 'ro.product.device' is defined as 'z3c' ('ro.build.product' is defined as 'aries').
You can directly flush CM12.

It's correct that androplus has TWRP but it's not on fota partition, androversion is 2.8.4. You can rich andros twrp by pressing vol +, fota by pressing power button. Advantage of fota is that recovery persist different kernels. For now there is no other kernel but hopefully there will be in the future
and it does not flash cm recovery, it is there in boot.img from beginning
Does it work with cm12.1?
Does this unlock the bootloader?
Does installing this unlock the bootloader?
I see that the install is taking place through fastboot mode. Does this result in the bootloader becoming unlocked?
Is there a way to install the recovery without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks.

fastboot flash recovery fota-twrp2.8.5.0-z3c.img
operation successful, but cant get to recovery either way (power button + clicking on bottom/upper part of volume button
Edit: Resolved. After flashing fota-twrp, i "batted" lockeddualrecovery, then flashed Cyanogen Recovery. For some reason fota-twrp recovery is still present. Accessable via power button + clicking on volume up.
Guys, I need a recovery I can use to make nandroid backup of my current ROM, format /system and flash any CM12.1 version without having to hack into the updater-script and remove the first line to make it flash. Also, it would be perfect if it was persistent no matter which ROM I flash.
Can this one do that? Can anyone advice please? This recovery thing on Sony devices is still a very confusing topic to me, especially coming from Samsung phones, on which you do have a default recovery and flashing a custom one won't be deleted when flashing a custom ROM.
Looking forward to your replies.

+1 here
im on cm 12.1 nightly. and wanna make a nandroid. but have only cyanogen recovery ....
can i flash this recovery "over" my existing ?
will the nightly updater still work then ?!
+1 Here as well. For reasons I don't understand, there's no backup option in the CM 12.1 recovery. The AndroPlus kernel isn't a solution as the developer says it does NOT work with CM. Despite trying a few different recovery options, I can't seem to get anything but CM recovery which is part of CM's boot.img. The CM recovery/bootloader/kernel gets flashed with:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
While this, and most other recoveries I can find, get flashed with:
fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img
I realize the Z3C doesn't have a conventional recovery partition. And, from what I understand, it essentially has two locations for a recovery utility with one designed for OTA use. I've tried three different methods:
Flashing recoveries with: fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img but I still get only the CM recovery (as others have reported in this thread).
Installing a ZIP recovery from within the CM recovery, but I still get only the CM recovery
Installing the TWRP app, letting it download TWRP for the Z3C, and the install fails.
What many of us seem to need is a boot.img file with TWRP that works with CM. Based on my experience that's the only way to replace the CM recovery.
Has anyone found a solution?

It's a common enough request you would think someone would have made it available for CM?

After @Envious_Data and me discovered that there is no real collection for the most up-to-date recoveryimages, for both stock and AOSP based Roms we decided to create this thread in order to change this.
Recoverys:
CWM Recovery 6.0.5.1
PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.59.0 (CWM Version 6.0.5.1)
TWRP 2.8.3.0 (2.8.1.0 recommend as 2.8.3.0 is not starting on some Roms)
Installation
Download the recovery images in the Download section reboot your phone into fastboot mode and execute the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery *name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img
in fastboot.
When you want to flash it from your phone, navigate into the folder where you downloaded the recoveryimage and execute the command:
Code:
dd if="*name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
as root in Terminal Emulator.
If you are lazy you can also use my App, M5-Settings. It automatically downloads the most up-to-date recoveryimage to your externel SD Card and flashes the recoveryimage to your FOTAKernel Partition.

Hi Both,
I want to get the M5Kernal and flash it on a CM12 that has cyanogenmod recovery
So which Recovery do you suggest and which version which will make this process an easy one.
I tried to flash TWRP (forgot the version) but it would show everything pixelated with horizontal lines making nothing readable nor functional.
Edit: I have flashed Philz, flashed M5KernelV2 and guess what, phone stuck at "Android is upgrading.. Starting apps" for the past 3 minutes.
I'll give it some time and update
Edit: So it wouldn't boot and I had to wipe it fully and tried again, all good.
Best of all, the recovery actually "sticks"
Regards
Hmm, you should probably mention that you need to unlock your bootloader first? unless I'm mistaken..

Not exactly
You cant use fastboot on xperias if the bootloader is locked
I dont think fotakernel/recovery is a part of the bootloader (likely hence why we cant boot right into recovery)
You do need a custom kernel to use recovery
But to install it i think is a different case, im not experianced all too much with locked bootloaders so this info is based off of a conversation between a bunch of devs
can I use this one on a ROOTED STOCK ROM in 4.4.2 and build .137?!

I thought the "fastboot flash recovery...." command is not valid on Sony's world as the recovery partition is combined in kernel? I always thought the kernel and the recovery must be united then flashed with "fastboot flash boot ....." command? Am I wrong?

As the post right above yours says, you need a kernel which supports loading Recoverys from FOTAKernel Partition (if you run stock, I'd recommend either advanced Stock Kernel or AndroPlus Kernel, both made by @AndroPlus), which both need a unlocked bootloader in order to work, so the answer to your question is no, it does NOT work on locked bootloader, for LB you might want to try XZDualRecovery.

Recovery doesn't stick
So I downloaded your awsome m5-settings app and tryed to installed twrp recovery on my z2, running cm12. Booted into recovery, and twrp came up (instead of cm recovery). But it doesn't "stick". I can't press any buttons, and after approximately 10-20 seconds the phone reboot normal again. I've tried to use cwm also, but twrp still shows up and doesn't work. Last resort I tried philz, but still got twrp.
I also tried to run fotacwm img, thru terminal emulator. But nothing works.
All I want is a custom recovery that works, since CM 12 recovery is useless!!
Btw. I'm a noob, so please be gentle against me
Ps: I added a screenshot of the phone details. It's in Norwegian, but I guess you understand (sorry)
Hello.
I have a D805 LG G2, flashed with CM 13.0 Nightly. [Running 6.0.1]
The problem is THERE'S NO RECOVERY. [Wait...What?]
From the Start:
-CSE Flash
-Flashed CM 13.0 [using Bumped TWRP from AutoRec]
Now I can't update my CM 13.0, because everytime that boot into recovery gives the SecureBoot error.
I can't loki because of unsupported aboot error. (Some users said that Loki was patched in 4.4)
I found AutoRec type for D855 (MarshMellow) but there's no version for D805 (or D802)
Tryed "dd" but not working.
All the apps in playstore don't work.
There's no way to flash TWRP now? I don't want to CSE Flash again and lose all my data.
[If anyone want some files from D805, pm me. Links for Aboot.img or such.] [I almost started porting D805 for CyanogenMod but got no time to do it.]

for the bootloop did you installed hybridbootstacks that should get it going. i think

I don't think that's the way that most of us have converted our Chinese Zuk Z1s from ZUI to CyanogenOS.
Search for PaulOBrien's MoDaCo forum post entitled "Convert Z1 from ZukUI to Cyanogen OS" and follow those instructions. In my experience, to flash COS you need the COS recovery, which is available for download from PaulOBrien's post. Breadcrust's TWRP works well for the CM13 nightlies, though.
As a warning, however, if your ZUI version is too high you're going to have to use QFIL to flash to an earlier version, due to them starting to lock their bootloaders. That process I don't know much about, but I can link you to some guides if it is necessary for you.

In my experience, Zuk ZUI keeps the recovery locked down until you get rid of it (ZUI). Try to BOOT to the PaulOBrien recovery .img, instead of flashing it - the ADB line for that should be "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot recovery recoveryfilename.img". That should work. Flash your new COS .zip. That will clear out all the ZUI crap. Then immediately reboot to the bootloader and try to FLASH the PaulOBrien recovery .img again. Without ZUI around, it should go through.

So you're booting to a TWRP recovery, and not PaulOBrien's official Cyanogen one?
Which TWRP are you using there? What you might want to try is download JoaoPaulo's TWRP (see MrColdbird's Unofficial CM13 Nightlies thread for a link to it) and try to boot that one. That's what worked for me. From JoaoPaulo TWRP, wipe System/Dalvik Cache/Cache/Data, then reboot straight back to the bootloader. Try to flash the necessary recovery then.

I have flashed the newer firm ware but when I installed a MM rom exodus and now I wasnt able to use the recovery any more. I have tried flashing other recoveries but the only one that worked is the stock recovery
Look for hybrid twrp 3.0.2.0 and flash. Boot into recovery and reflash image. Should hold then.

Hi, did you relock your bootloader.. Check it's status.
Check Boot Loader Status in developer Mod
After this, go in your fastboot Mod and flash TWRP (Modified) Recovery.
After flashing recovery, you have to boot into recovery as well otherwise your OS will replace your recovery with the STOCK one..

I'm currently running 6.0.3 paranoid version. And I did obviously have root before installing this ROM. I have tried looking in the developer options to see if it wasn't turned on, but the option isn't available anymore. I'm not sure what information i need to supply. Will I need to root again?
Thanks for reading,

The ROM doesn't ship with root. It isn't needed for the ROM to work.
If you want to root it, just flash SuperSU zip in recovery.

Okay thanks for your help anyway, i'll try that then.
@Evitov
There may be two reasons for losing recovery:
1.You had dual recovery for stock locked bootloader.
2.You had kernel with built in recovery.
And to get recovery:
Just download twrp for z2
And flash through flashtool.
Thats it

Did you have the latest marshmallow stock build(.291) before this? If so , then connect to computer in fastboot mode, download twrp image for your phone, copy to fastboot folder and type,
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (the twrp image name).img
To get into recovery, hold power and vol down buttons together until sony logo.
I cannot be sure if this will work with your device bc i have a z3 compact
but still, try!
