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

Hi, how to flash this with flashtool. Im actually flashed .216 after a unsuccessful root dry but with the .216 what i have flashed with flashtool; i got a real hot camera so i decided to flash this rom. How to do with flashtool ? any advice please what to exclude in flashtool. got no root and no open bootloader. thank you.

Does anyone know if this is the official update that adds recovery partition support? If anyone is on stock kernel, could you verify whether fastboot flashing a recovery and booting it with POW+Vol Down button boots into recovery?

I am running 5.0.2.
I tried in the past to flash, through recovery, the last firmware that was released before this. I downloaded a zip from one of the threads, and installed it through recovery, but after rebooting, I was still on 5.0.2.
If I download this and flash it in recovery, should it update my phone to this firmware. Or would it be better to flash through the flashtool? (to not delete the data, not to check the data in the wipe window?)
Thanks

Is it safe to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2?

Hi there.
Is anyone here using TWRP 3.x? I'm still on 2.x, since I read of lots of problems with newer versions of the recovery on this device, but I'd like to upgrade now. Can anyone give me some feedback?
Thanks in advance

It works but as with multiple posts not with Aroma.

I see no reason to update if u have no issue on 2.x. sometimes upgrade is just a no go.

If you're trying to downgrade, it means that you've flashed TWRP.
If you've flashed TWRP, it means that you already know how to flash a custom recovery.
If you already know how to flash a custom recovery, then this is EXACTLY the same thing. Just pick an older version of TWRP and flash it the exact same way you would flash any version of TWRP.
And if you don't even know how to do that, google is your friend.

Flashed Systemless xposed sdk24 to my Magisk Rooted v20 and it no longer boots

Hi, I had systemless rooted my LG V20 with @emdroidle steps and it worked flawlessly. I had the phone running normally. So I decided to try to flash XPOSED. I performed a nandroid backup via TWRP and proceeded to flash the recommended file 26-07-17-xposed-systemless-v87-sdk24-by-PurifyOS.zip. But after flashing it wont longer boot, not even to recovery.
What could make this to happen? Also, do I need to restore the system?
There's this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903
But I don't know if it helps my problem.
Please someone help, thanks in advance :crying::crying:

Nevermind, I was idiot and panicked and wasn't entering recovery menu correctly. I restored the nandroid backup and had no problem booting.
But since the thread is here. Anyone has managed to flash Xposed to v20?

Is that for arm64? Because it looks exactly like the file that I flashed and caused my h900ds to not boot. I am on the lastest magisk and haven't updated the firmware.

Hmmm just saw that. Go to xposed thread and ask there or maybe someone else can chime in but I'm out of ideas.
