Can this be flashed over cm12 or do I need to go back to stock
For the love of God, I can't get into Recovery.. All hell broke loose since I updated to 4.4.4 and I would love to upgrade to Lollipop..
Things are so much easier on Nexus devices and my OnePlusOne

I was able to install 5.0.2 using flashtool, but because I can't get into recovery, I can't flash this prerooted zip file.
I'm a bit of a noob in regards to Sony devices, but is it possible to flash this file using flashtool..?

Simple answer....no
The recoveries were really only working properly on 4.4.4, and that was only if you unlocked your bootloader and flashed a dual recovery+boot.img. For some reason, flashing a recovery to the normal "recovery" partition, even though successfully flashed, wouldn't allow access to it. Only the "FotaKernel" flashing (dual recovery) was working somewhat.
Theoretically, under 4.4.4, you could get to recovery by using "fastboot boot recovery.img", but it was ify-ify if the recovery would show on the display. I had to do it numerous times.
Once you've upgraded to 5.0.2, the only option is
a. Wait for a dev to make a compatible recovery (probably fotakernel type, or one that can be booted using "fastboot boot recovery.img"
b. Wait for somebody to create a modified boot.img which will allow adb push (to push superSu using up to date binary). I can do this, but right now am busy at work, and won't get around to doing it until sometime this weekend.
Either way, I suspect it's going to require an unlocked bootloader. But I wouldn't reccommend that until you learn the disadvantages and back up your DRM keys.
You could probably roll back a couple versions to an earlier OS (ftf flashing) and try with what recoveries we have now.
I'm still on 4.4.4 (unlocked bootloader and backed up DRM keys, not that you really need them for most folks), so will be working on it this weekend.
Thank you for the elaborated answer! I have unlocked my bootloader, and was rooted on 4.4.2 but was unsuccessful in rooting 4.4.4.
I will wait until a modified recovery is released and hopefully be able to root then. Thanks again for the explanation.
installing and testing.
Sorry

So frustrating.. No matter what I do, I can't get into the recovery..
Hey guys,
so just in case I would sell my phone in future .. I would know how to get back to full official Flyme Rom with locked bootloader and meizu stock recovery. In the cm12.1 thread is one tutorial in the headpost but I've read the comments in the thread and now I do not know what is right and what is wrong to get back official Flyme Rom. Please, can someone tell me how I get this done, PLEASE
You have to flash patched recovery flyme, and then flash original flyme rom by normal way( recovery mode or choosing the rom with a file explorer)

And that is the safest way?
As i know, is the only way, if we are talking about andriod mx4. I did it and no problems.
The safest way to flash patched rechovery is via fastboot.

move offical rom to root direc. and flash patced recovery. turn off phone. press volume up + power button. select update and clean data.
OK thanks guys

Wait you can brick your phone. Some people have tested it:
- Back to Flyme 4.2.8.2 patched
- Reflash Flyme 4.2.8.2 official
- Full Re-Lock
IF YOU FLASH ANOTHER FLYME (NOT 4.2.8.2) OFFICIAL IS FULL BRICK.

Ok, first flash patched recovery, then 4.2.8.2 ( I or A?) and then I can flash any official Rom without brick?

Dear friends,
You all say that the first step should be flashing the custom recovery, but how? With flashify?
Thanks.

Thanks so much! Is it safer than flashing with flashify?
After I do it, and after I go back to the official 4.2.8.2, can I update it normally to 4.5.7i, or even to flyme 5 when it comes out, or will I risk brick?
Thanks again.

"Flyme 4.2.8.2 patched" - You say that I must flash patched Flyme 4.2.8.2 or flash a stock Flyme 4.2.8.2i by patched recovery and than by stock?? On this I can install Flyme 4.5.7 and update it with OTA?
Hello, guys.
Today I made a full working, flashable TWRP 3.0 recovery for our single SIM device. But do you still need it? Cause I made it for personal use, and if you do - I can post it here. Just need your answer. Thx!
MotexT
Great, please upload it! Does it work with marshmallow? Just flash it in flashtool? And is it hotbootable as well?
Yes please post it!!
Yeah please upload it. I am eagerly waiting for it.
But rather put it into the development section then. And a question... What do you think about building cm for this device?
So, as soon as I finish some test for DualSim version - will post it here. Need also some help with thread creating - it will be first time when I create a new Dev thread on XDA, so I need to respect all stuff like credits, devs, license etc. PM me who can help.

Guide for installing TWRP with link to download
Inside my Drive Folder head to Recovery folder and then download either twrp1 for SingleSim or twrp2 for DualSim
Drive Folder
Guide for installing
Put twrp1.img/twrp2.img to Fastboot folder
Hold Shift and then right click on tge window
Then "Open command line here"
In command line write "fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img/twrp2.img
Connect your phone holding Vol+ button
A blue LED will light up for a while, you will receive "Done or Ok" in command line
After that disconnect your phone abd turn it on
And when yellow LED will appear on Sony logo, press Vol+ one time
Soon you will enter the recovery main menu
twrp1.img for SingleSim and twrp2.img for DualSim respectively
This recovery doesn't have to be reflashed or rehotbooted - this is FOTA one, it will rest untill you reflash FOTA partition

To root your phone flash custom kernel from This thread. Then flash my recovery (still uploading DualSim version, wait 5 min), and through recovery flash latest SuperSu binary and DRM Restore (for recover lost functions after unlocking Bl).
Really really awesome, I'm so happy the device finally gets some love! Should be just as well be flashed via flashtool, right?
Edit: oh and I'm really excited that you're trying to port cm

You can flash a custom kernel from another thread by using Flashtool. But to flash the recovery you need to use Fastboot. Maybe after I will merge kernel with recovery into one flashable unit, but I need some time to figure out how to do that. Stay tuned, cheers!

Excuse me, how can do that DRM Restore? I unlocked my BL long time ago without any Backups...
And one more thing, there is any Xposed version for the dual vers E6533?

Yep, you can use the latest Xposed Framework (SDK 23). And about DRM Restore - just flash attached file and be happy. Cheers! ?

Am very thankful for all your help and knowledge, my resume is this:
- kernel flashed OK
- TWRP 2 launched OK
- SuperSU flashed OK
- drmrestore flashed OK (at this point I really start appreciate for the first time after months my device)
- Installed Xposed OK
Everything looking so good, I get some time installing lot of things... then I decided to make a Wipe cache / dalvik and unfortunately I get stuck at the boot screen.
Does you recommend anything?
So for the guy who want ask for root for the SM-T 815 with the last update to Android 6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133?nocache=1

Install last TWRP for SM-T 815
Save the file to your tab
install over TWRP the .zip
have fun!
greez,
Yup, works.
And xposed works too (wanams sdk23 zip, arm version, not arm64)
How and when you got android 6 on SM-T815 ?
Works great
Thanks for the advice.
Works great with my SM-T815 (Android 6.0.1 + TWRP + ROOT + XPOSED)
So install rom, install twrp, install supersu zip and its done? No need for extra modified kernel like lollipop?

Clean flash is highly recommended. Had big standby drain after I dirty flashed it (all your data, apps etc stay, you only lose root, when updating). Factory reset after that and it's fine now (great actually, I'm losing 1% in 10 hours now thanks to doze I guess - before I was losing around 5% in 10 hours)
Does anybody use foldermount under MM?
It says the mount was successfull, but i cant see the files when i open the original folder; but the destination foder there are the files.
I Use foldermount 2.9.2b

Recently I was on 5.0.1 with appropriate TWRP, but then I had the device to have it repaired an now it is on 6.0.2. Can I use the latest Lollipop-TWRP?
Yes, u can use the last version. There is no other at the moment. Clean install with factory reset is prefered. Cause of errors.

Just backup your phone before unlocking as it will wipe the phone and internal sd card.
I suggest you read a little bit about the a/b partition scheme as the custom rom flashing procedure is different.

If you want to install official lineage, you have a twrp that the maintainer of lineage for tissot created:

As the user above said, only the twrp versions uploaded here on xda are working.
