CM recovery boots, CWM, TWRP will not - Sony Xperia M2

I got a question. Why on my D2303 won't boot to other recovery than CM's? I tested many kernels (doomlord's doesn't work for me) and a few recoveries and only CM works. CWM based recovery and TWRP when I flash them - I gotta bootloop.... I have tried for ours by myslef, looking on forums but with no effect. Can someone enlight me?

What type of image you tried to flash and boot in?
"Kernel" or "Recovery"

The image I tried to flash was for ex cwm.img - recovery
I didn't flash kernel like recovery.
About kernel itself, what I meant was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557452

Because this is for Xperia S devices

Rooting M with chainfires kernel?? Recovery not available??

Does anyone else find that rebooting to recovery using twrp doesn't happen? I've tried re flashing recovery with fastboot and even selecting in bootloader boot to recovery after and still just boots into android.. Any ideas? Is it chainfires boot.img causing the problem?

Try unplugging phone from power source then attempt to enter TWRP.
I have done. I've just downloaded selinux changer app. Set permissive and then re flashed twrp again and now I can access it.

How you install custom kernel without TWRP?
My device is stock and i want to install elementalx + supersu to root. But i need TWRP first.
Fastboot the img file of twrp then boot into recovery from the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Got the same problem - I flash the TWRP image with fastboot successfully but when I try to enter recovery, it either reboots or shows me the stock recovery. I'm on stog Android 6, trying to flash a different rom and kernel...
we are on the same boat @granets . when i boot to custom recovery it just boots directly to homescreen.
Have you tried the other kernel i linked above?

Left the boat earlier by downloading TWRP again (for a third time!!!) and it worked fine. Guess when downloading from their site, there is a high percent chance you will get a corrupted file. So far around 50% of all images I download don't work, and every time the problem is different. Maybe try that

Z5 not booting

Hi All
My E6653 is no longer booting after freezing while running a custom rom. When I boot, it shows the Sony logo, then the light flashes red. It does not let me enter TWRP.
I have tried flashing original firmware using flashtool, repairing using xperia companion and the same issue happens.
I have tried flashing different custom kernels and TWRP versions. The only version of TWRP that works is TWRP 2.8.7.0 by AndroPlus but I cannot access the device through usb and adb does not work.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix I would be super grateful.
What have u done to make ur device freeze, and which kernel were u using before freezing?

Thanks for getting back to me. The phone froze while using the Plex app, and after I force rebooted, the boot issue happened.
I was running V2.3.3 of Xperia X ROM by _LLJY and the kernel that came with that custom rom.

Well the Rom's kernel which u were using does not include TWRP, just try one of these solutions :
1/ flash ur original kernel, or reflash ur official firmware using flash tool and DON'T EXCLUDE any thing and wipe user data / apps log... ETC simply do a clean install with out any exclusion
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.

- I tried this with 2 different official firmwares and no luck. I made sure I didn't exclude anything. It still gets stuck on the Sony logo
2/ If u have ur original kernel patched with TWRP img inside, directly flash it using flashtool and enter TWRP.
- not 100% sure what to do with this. I don't have the original kernel patched with TWRP img inside. Is this something you have?

Try this: Install Androplus kernel and Twrp Recovery which comes with him.
Find flashable prerooted firmware for your model than connect phone to pc to transfer it when you are in Twrp and than wipe cache,dalvik and data and try to flash prerooted zip.

Still no luck. When the phone turns on, the light goes yellow, I hit:
VOL down - screen goes blank
VOL up - brightness increase of screen then goes off and the light flashes red

Tried this also. kernel and recovery seem to install fine. But when I press VOL up or down, it does not go into twrp.
I managed to get into TWRP using the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/twrp-3-0-2-cm-aosp-roms-t3373008 with AndroPlus kernel. But, cannot access the phones storage through computer. TWRP shows failed to mount /usb-otg (invalid argument).

Unable to root Moto g 2015 1 Gb model on Marshmellow

I'm having difficulty with recovery and super su. I have tried several twrp recovery versions on this site but after flashing it though fast boot recovery does not update. Only recovery works is ending name with test1 but when I'm in twrp recovery and flash super su phone goes in bootloop and stays on bootloader unlocked and warranty void message. Even I managed to put few ROMs on SD card but when i flash them recovery does not flash and finish process in two seconds. I have also used few versions of super su and have soft bricked my phone and now have flashed stock firmware few times via fast boot. Can you help me please to point which recovery version and super su will work? I have tried few threads stating worked but it did not work for me .Please help
Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
1GB or 2GB doesn't matter, the process is the same, so there is something else going on...
Can you just boot the TWRP image? "fastboot boot recovery.img" (replace recovery.img with the latest TWRP image, r5 I think)
If that doesn't work, what is the status of your bootloader from the bootloader screen?
Thanks, I flashed the latest one r5 and it shows in fast boot it is written however when I'm going to recovery it does not bring recovery and only poor android photo comes up with nothing found like happens in stock recovery . Only r1 test recovery successfully load but it does not flash anything

But can you BOOT it? (not talking about flashing anything)
After you flash, ate you starting recovery immediately or rebooting first, because you can't reboot before starting it or it will be overwritten by stock.
I have restarted in boatloader and gone into twrp recovery r1 test version but after flashing super su it goes to boot loop

Also how can I start recovery after flashing it without restarting boatloader?

Latest recovery should be used (I think it was 3.0.2 r5). And you'll have to do the systemless install, unless you want bootloop. Also make a note of which recovery you flash/boot- Osprey is for Moto G 2015 and Merlin is for Moto G 2015 Turbo Edition.

That link doesn't have anything to do with flashing custom ROMs via fastboot.
That link discusses installing TWRP and then using TWRP to install the ROM.
Let me clarify my previous response. Custom ROM .zip files can't be flashed via fastboot but you can the system.img from the ROM zip and then use fastboot to flash the system.img.

Alright, but my main question is how can I install TWRP on a Sony Xperia M C1905? I've searched the guy's post that says that I can't flash it via fastboot or flashtool but I don't get it how will I get TWRP to run using the FOTAkernel method without any pre-installed recovery.
I've not tested it with the official TWRP app yet but I have tried it with rashr with no success.
Oh, and if I use fastboot to flash "system.img" from a ROM, will the device run with the new firmware or do I need to do extra things besides that?
(I have an unlocked bootloader, android version 4.3 and rooted firmware.)

If the device is already rooted, you should be able to flash a copy of TWRP for your device via the Flashify app.
Things weren't that complicated in the days of 4.3, you shouldn't have any special conditions to worry with.

I've tested flashify and when I pressed on flash TWRP, it did nothing.
I tried to select the file manually and it told me that I'm not able to flash recoveries because it could not find the recovery partition.
One more question: that guy said that I'm not able to flash TWRP using the stock ROM.
How is it going to work?

Here is the TWRP page for your device here at XDA. Read the first three posts, it explains things.

I tried doing it within the app but it said that an error occurred.
Is it because I've installed on internal storage?
I've also tried it with rashr and it said that it completed but the phone rebooted back to normal.
Also, should I flash TWRP to the BOOT partition?
EDIT
Thank you for helping me! I flashed TWRP on the boot partition and it worked!
I didn't care about the firmware because I was going to flash a new one anyway.
