Just tried it on my unlocked Z1
results:
I flashed the TA update as I was supposed to do and EMMA said that nothing went wrong
Flashed twrp recovery (fastboot flash recovery)
pressed power and volume down -> phone vibrated -> let go of power -> sony logo shows up and phone boots normally...
Am I missing something?

probably this
Which devices are compatible? For now, just those with Cortex-A7 processors. Those are:
•Xperia T2 Ultra
•Xperia T3
•Xperia M2

Actually you are wrong. According to developer.sonymobile.com the Z1 product line is also supported:
Supported devices
With the latest software provided through our Flash tool for Xperia devices, recovery mode is available for Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra, and Xperia T3 devices with unlocked boot loader.

However I'm no Sony developer and I'm facing the same issue.
Xperia Z Ultra user here and the same result, device is booting normally when holding power and vol-. Maybe because the recoveries are made to work on FOTAKernel partition and they won't work on normal recovery partition?

That sounds interesting [emoji106] But do you think also the recovery images without boot?
I don't know how things are on Z1, but on ZU we have TWRP which can be flashed to FOTAKernel partition, so it can be booted on custom roms and it survives flashing custom roms. The thing is, the recovery is packed with FOTAKernel ramdisk so it still can be functional and maybe when we flash it to normal recovery partition and try to boot from it, the device don't know what to do because of the FOTAKernel ramdisk packed with it? Seems like this could be the reason but I am not an expert (15 yrs old stud can't know much about it ), just presuming. If so, recoveries have to be rebuilt to work now.
Regards
OK, yes for Z1 we have an unofficial TWRP 2.8 build to use with FOTAKernel partition. Perhaps it's the same as you described for ZU. BTW., I'm a 16 yo student, so can't know much either [emoji13]

It seems to work for me now! Flashed a random recovery to the FOTAKernel partition of my Z1 (ROCKZ1L kernel) and I had a twrp recovery on the recovery partition. Steps after that:
Press volume down and power and wait for vibration then release power and when the sony logo shows up and the purple led goes on release volume down and the recovery should boot!

Ehm.. Are you sure you didn't just flash a kernel with builtin TWRP recovery? Thats something different and has nothing to with the new bootloader, actually that's what we used to flash a recovery before the update...

But can you tell me how exactly you flashed it? Via FLashTool or via fastbbot flash recovery?

Possible but I remembered that my kernel only starts the recovery if the volume down button is tapped every second
and I flashed it via adb shell as fastboot has no access to the fotakernel
just copy the img over to your sdcard and do:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
actually there is a recovery img in the latest aosp build for amami, but after flashing the whole rom it bootloops and the recovery is not possible to access
For locked bl also ?
Because i see in the video only unlocked bl !
Bye bye DRM keys or not ?
U have to wait for prebuilt recovery by devs with needed changes or use fxp builds. For now it doesn't work like all thinking.
BTW, for unlocked Bootloader.
Good news, as @dkionline said, recoveries from AOSP builds from fxp works fine here on Z Ultra for example, but they are just pure AOSP ones and for me on ZU, the recovery menu is not visible, there is a Sony logo, then the Android with exclamation mark and pressing Power and Vol+ (on my Nexus 5 it brings the menu) just leaves you with a blank screen.

Hi
my M2 is unlocked, with open device kernel. I have a CM recovery.img but there is not backup/recovery option in it. So I wanted to know if it is possible for someone to build a twrp recovery.img for the open device kernel
Thank in advance

Hi all,
I have a great news
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/
Bootloader is compatible with open devices roms and also enables real recovery (Volume Down + Power)
to flash recovery partition on device you have to
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Happy Cooking
J
PS.
in case latest software does not appear just press "all Services"
flash latest software available and on top new loader
You mean the open device is the same unlocked boot device?
sonymobile.com - "With the latest software provided through our Flash tool for Xperia devices, recovery mode is available for Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra, and Xperia T3 devices with unlocked boot loader. We are working to make recovery mode available for more devices in coming software releases."

I don't know your language sir, but as per google I believe you typed " So it's good news."
so the answer is YES
however this forum is in English, please try to communicate in English because most of the knowledge-base is in English on XDA
I joined this forum to thank you very much. This not only works but restored my camera app which was crashing to launcher last time I attempted to root in MM. It caused the camera app to freeze and crash out even after with software repair and Sony said to send it back then said they didn't want to fix it because I unlocked the bootloader. (Camera worked in other apps etc.)
So not only do I now have root on Nougat but my camera app works too. You're brilliant!

Thank you @evilicious_evil for
1. correcting the code , i have fixed it
2. liking the post and
3. most important for the AdsFree
I know you will enjoy your device because I just couldn't love it more!
im stuck with downgrade step. im new to xperia and really want to root my device but im nougat now due to system update. kindly give steps on how to downgrade. so i can backup my drm keys.
BASICS
1. SONY XPERIAS are SHIPPED with LOCKED BOOTLOADERS with PASSWORD / (UNLOCK KEY)
2. First check your device whether SONY will ever allow you to unlock your bootloader or not? DIAL *#*#7378423#*#* / SERVICE INFO > / Configuration > / and check for "ROOTING STATUS: Bootloader unlocked allowed: " ... if it says NO then you better return your device back to sony. your phone can never be bootunlocked and you can never have root access. Better give the mobile to young sibling...
Hoever if "ROOTING STATUS: Bootloader unlocked allowed: " says YES then we can do the magic (see attached image)
BEFORE YOU UNLOCK BOOTLOADER DOWNGRADING TO 6.01 is MUST - this step will WIPE everything in your device
- GUIDE TO USE FLASHTOOL TO FLASH ANY FIRMWARE (DOWNGRADING TO ANDROID 6)
MAKE SURE ALL DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED
INSTALL SONY PC COMPANION / XPERIA COMPANION and Make FIRST CONNECTION to WINDOWS PC to XPERIA X while running sony pc companion or xperia companion and it will install necessary drivers.
-switch-off xperia X and plug usb in while holding the volume UP key (BLUE LED / FASTMODE) and let your windows install fastboot drivers.
- remove usb, and afte few seconds connect usb again while pressing VOLUME DOWN Key (Green LED / FLASHMODE) and let your windows install flashmode drivers
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install FLASHTOOL from http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows.php and install it / after installation
1. upgrade the version from 0.9.23.1 to 0.9.23.X by replacing x10flasher.jar files (given in that page) at C:\Flashtool
2. goto C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the setup! there will be many check boxes for you to see according to your sony devices. select common fastboot/flashmode drivers and sony Xperia X motherboard drivers (sa0107)
3. run flastool. run xperifirm (last button at right) (see image)
4. once xperifirm is run select your device SUZU >F5122 (see image)
5. now you will all the countries listed and the latest android versions they have pushed. if you see at the bottom the StoreFront/Service Exchange Unit and Commercial journalist will have the FIRST EVER version on which F5122 was created. the 34.0.A.1.264 is your version. you may install commercial journalist version (see image)
6. download it and once completed close the xperifirm and IMMEDIATELY flashtool will start creating FTF file. if it asks you anything about INCLUDING FSC SCRIPT / click YES
7. click the THUNDER BUTTON and select FLASHMODE (see image)
8. point out on the ftf firmare folder (in your case since you just downloaded it will be already be at right place) (see image) and
9. make a CLEAN FLASH (SEE IMAGE CAREFULLY)
10. click flash / it will take 10 mins to prepare flashfiles and
11. will prompt you to connect your device in FLASHMODE
12. makesure your xperia is switch OFF and now make a connection of your device in flashmode (plugin usb + vol down key (hold) (green led)
13. it will read you device and will start FLASHING / DONOT MOVE SHAKE device incase if usb connection looses your device may be bricked.
14 flashing takes 20-30 mins.
15. at 99% the flashtool seems to hang (while closing headers) and may take upto 15 mins. don't panic.
16. keep reading the screen / once flashing done/ flashtool will indicate.
17. boot your device, first boot may take several mins
congratulations your f5122 is successfully downgraded to ANDROID MM
Enable usb debugging from developer options and EXTACT DRM keys via DIRTYCOW script.
SAVING DRM KEYS
1. DOWNLOAD THE Universal (Dirtycow-based) TA Backup v2 FROM THIS POST
2. EXTRACT the zip on desktop and connect your xperia X running on android 6 / boot LOCKED
3. enable usb debugging under developeroptions
4. run the .BAT file and look at the device.
5. when prompt permission, grant it
6. the script will extract .img file in that same folder having name something like "TA_F512X_<code>_<ddmmyy><timestamp>.img" , you may run the script more than once to extract same copy of TA image. the script will keep saving it in the same folder with current time stamp as part of the file name ,
I ran the script thrice
7. once done SAVE THE .IMG FILES ON SAFE PLACE, CLOUD STORAGE, EMAIL, ETC , use xperifirm again to download the LATEST BUILD and FLASH it via FLASHTOOL as described ABOVE in the flashtool section.
8. once you are on OREO or Nougat, its time to UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER,

IN SHORT----
To be able to unlock your Xperia X, prepare it by following these steps:
Go into Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options.
From Settings, go into Developer options and enable OEM unlocking.
Warning: Device protection features will not work on this device while this setting is turned on.Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device in the service menu by following the steps below:
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked. Continue to http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlo...-verification/ , give your email ID and they will send you link asking you your device's IMEI Number. once you give that sony will email you YOUR BOOTUNLOCK KEYS within minutes. (keep them aside for now)
-using FlashTool "BLU" key you can unlock your bootloader
- your TA partitions / internal storage will be WIPED and device will rebooted.
Thanks alot sir!!
honestly im so excited to root thats why i never even bother to read carefully..
to make story short.. i manage to unblocked BT (w/o downgrading and backing up DRM keys) so lesson learned..
then tried flashing your ( image boot_su_34.2.A.2.47.IMG ) to have root and drmfix as well so everything is okay until i tried to play my favorite game MObile legends and try to use PS3 controller using six axis. ( this is the main reason why i unlook and root) but i failed. so i started thinking maybe i made it all wrong. so i tried to go back unroot and relock using videos and guides online and ending up with a dead xperia x ten i managed to solved it by relocking first and software repair via sony companion and every thing is okay except the camera..
---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------
now i want MM and drm fix.. question is can i flash your ( image boot_su_34.2.A.2.47.IMG) on MM??
the reason i want MM is that i think its compatible with the game and for me to use ps3 controller
---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------
or if not can you make a kernel for MM with DRM fix? please
sorry sir i have alot of questions i really wanted to fix my phone. so i will follow all the steps you said but upon installing flashtool and drivers i cant seem to find this (sony Xperia X motherboard drivers (sa0107) ) in the list. i dont want to skip this since i don want to encounter any problems again the way i did last time. Will it be okay to skip this?

Seems like you have a Full Plate of Experiences with your Xperia X
1. once unlocked, i highly recommend not to re lock the boot loader unless you are selling your device
2. If at any point xperia X is bricked, holding POWER+VOLUME UP key for
-----(a) five seconds will REBOOT the device after 1 JERK
------(b) Fifteen secons will JERK your device THRICE and on second jerk, YOU MUST remove your fingers from power+volumeUP keys and it will make your device SHUTDOWN so that you can reconnect it in FLASHMODE and do the magic again
3. I don't have knowledge about connecting PS3 to XPERIAS but SONY cannot release Android N without checking compatibility of already sold SP3.... so what i can suggest is to find approperiate app on playstore to connect with Ps3 and/or google more on this subject
4. keep your TA IMAGE INTACT / saved / email yourself / back it up on cloud for future use.
5. for you i have created SIMILAR KERNAL for android 6.01 BUILD 34.0.A.1.264 , having superSU
6. using flashtool perform CLEAN flash and send the kernel to your device.
7. I am giving you original STOCK KERNEL SIN file "original_stock_kernel_F5122_34.0.A.1.264.sin" if the modified kernel gives you bootloops OR you have bricked F5122 atleast you dont have to reflash everything. just flash the kernel in fastbootmode and you device will wakeup

Seems like you have a Full Plate of Experiences with your Xperia X
1. once unlocked, i highly recommend not to re lock the boot loader unless you are selling your device

WOW!! many thanks sir!! will keep this kernel for sure!!
about TA IMAGE -- its DRM keys right i think i lost it already since i unlock BL w/o downgrading to MM and backing it up.:laugh:
----
i unlocked BL again via official way= camera works
flash twrp via minimal adb (to root and flash rom) first boot is as far as i remember it went well, tried to boot to twrp again and was prompted to install TWRP APPS (since i dont understand that) i install and reboot but this time my device wont boot it shows sony logo twice and then this warning : YOUR DEVICE IS CORRUPTED AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED. AND MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY... PRESS POWER TO BOOT but upon pressing power device wont boot
--what seems to be the problem??
--tried to boot to twrp again and wipe dalvik/cache/ = same error
--tried to reflash recovery.img via minimal adb = same error
by the way im a MISS

1. you need recovery only when you want to flash superSU ,
2. since the kernel i have given in previous post and in the OT have SuperSU flashed, then you don''t need recovery.
please tell me when you flashed twrp,
1. why? for what purpose
2. did you flash the modified kernel also? (before flashing twrp)
3. if you did not flash modified kernel and have flashed twrp and via twrp you have flashed supersu... this means you put recovery on stock kernel and modified /SYSTEM
4. such action will always give you bootloops or "your device is corrupt... error" becuase DM VARITY is active in the stock kernel
simply flash the kernel i provided (having supersu) and wake you device up ROOTED.

DRM keys are unique to your device and stored on your TA partition. If you unlock your bootloader, they are wiped and they will not be restored if you relock. As a result, some camera functions will be impaired (e.g. photos taken in darkish conditions will be noisy) as well as X-reality (image enhancement). You can backup your own TA by making use of the dirty cow vulnerability in marshmallow. This allows you to restore your phone to its original state if you want to go back to stock. In addition you can use your TA to modify your kernel to make your unlocked phone think its drm keys are still intact.
Hi, Does it apply the F5121?

So, basically I can backup drm keys, root my phone, restore keys, and all functions would be stock-like while phone is still rooted?
Nope, restoring your TA will lock your bootloader and therefore unroot. But you can modify your kernel to make your phone think the DRM keys are still there. Check e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/poc-real-trim-instead-drm-fix-t3552893
Edit: It actually will not allow booting since the system or the boot partition were modified.
