Do You Need Root To Flash Custom Recovery Through NVFlash?

I have a replacement G2x coming today in the mail and if it comes with 2.3.3 on it and I can't root it through superoneclick can I just flash CWM through NVFlash and then a custom ROM with root or do I need to root the current ROM to flash CWM through NVFlash? Thanks!

Nope, just flash recovery as you normally would, and install any ROM you'd like.

[Q] Request

I rooted my ville c2 and installed twrp. And after that i downloaded OTA 4.1.1 and clicked the install button. But it ended up in twrp. And i can't even flash the ota.zip through twrp and fastboot. It always said error. status 7... So somebody show me a way and if you have stock recovery.img, share it please.

you need the stock recovery for installing OTAs,
flash the stock recovery and install the OTA (you dont need to relock your bootloader)
after installing the OTA you can flash your custom recovery back again.
It could be that you will loose your root after installing the OTA so you have to root your phone again.
I dont have any experience with root-keeper etc. so I cant tell you anything about it.
you will find the stock recovery for the One S C2 here:

Your on a locked bootloader. You can't flash a custom recovery, the only option you have is safestrap. You also cannot flash custom roms

[Q] Flash stock recovery

Hey guys, yesterday I rooted my phone using KingRoot and XZRecovery to flash Super SU and now I want to flash back the stock recovery again because I want install future system updates without problems.
How can I flash it again? (I have my bootloader locked)

There is no accessible stock recovery on Xperia phones, the actual recovery partition will still be there. Dual recovery is installed on the system partition.
If your bootloader is locked you will be able to OTA, but you will lose root. The best thing to do is flash a pre-rooted flashable zip in the dual recovery you have. As soon as there is an update you can make a new pre-rooted flashable zip using PRFCreator.

[Q] Why I cannot get TWRP?

Gents,
funny question.
I just installed by Odin the very last firmware (COI1) with custom image from here, and
looks like it is locked and now I stuck with the stock ROM...
No chance to put back TWRP...
Before everything was fine.
I tried bootloader from this post, no luck.
Any advice how to get TWRP back or just how to revert to custom image?..

You could just flash TWRP via odin by downloading a flashable zip and to install custom software you'll have to install TWRP or any other custom recovery first. After installing twrp go to install and flash the rom from there. Reply and will help you further!

That's the exact problem: after Odin I still don't have TWRP...
