Help with recovery - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I'm on unlocked bootloader and I flashed the lastest 5.1.1 via flashtool on my D6603.
Now I need to install recovery to install the ROM that I'm interested in but after one try I installed it using this http://howtorootmobile.com/guide-install-twrp-recovery-sony-xperia-z3/ and after that the phone it's in a bootloop.... At least I managed to enter on the recovery and after that I flashed back the previus ROM that I have and now I reflashed lastest 5.1.1 via flashtool so can someone please guide me to install a recovery without having bootloops after doing so?
Nevermind: I installed the last TWRP and it's working now

Unable to install any custom rom on my SM-N915FY

Hi all,
I have an Galaxy Note Edge type SM-N915FY with custom rom installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-micky387-rom-v1-0-t2998972
My phone is running on android 5.0.1 with kernel: 3.10.30-andrei-N915F-BOC6-v1.0
Baseband-version: N915FYXXU1BOB5
Yesterday I was trying to install the newer custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-micky387lollifamous5-1-1v1-t3200849
To make sure this will work, I needed to flash the TWRP , after I tried to flashed this using Odin, the phone got in a Bootloop. So I flashed the older TWRP again and my phone is booting again.
So I tried to clear the cache, but then I get the error: Unable to mount \cache, I didn't know how to solve this so I reflashed the TWRP again through Odin, but still the same issue.
Do you guys know how I could install another custom rom? My phone is rooter, just to make sure.
Thanks in advance.
nobody?

To move on to newer custom ROMs (based on 5.1.1), you need to download and flash Stock 5.1.1, which you can download from here, then you can root it, to get the necessary files for doing so, check this thread out.
Credits for TWRP, new ROMs and the possibility of root on 5.1.1 go to micky387.
You Saved me. After I flashed the original android 5.1.1 I was able to flash TWRP and install custom rom.
Many thanks!

need help all roms fell in bootloop unlocking the bootloader, even with cwn recovery

So me start from the beginning , my phone C2104 was completely updated i used this method to unlock my bootloader and used flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955, it unlocked and fell into bootloop so i continued with the method used flashmode to flash C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf Stock Rom via Flash tool it worked and i was out of bootloop then i tried few method to root the device didn't workout i found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/kernel-extended-stock-kernel-v6-t2321550 followed it got the CWM recovery started then i flashed Glade Rom V-2.0 and CM11-23FEB both go into bootloop and yes tried flashmode to flash C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf Stock Rom again didn't work only errors and now guys come in need your help and guidance and thank you..
You are doing right thing but it happens because I think your on version 4.1.2
Flash the latest firmware 4.2.2 then
Use towelroot app for root access
Flash the kernel thru flashtool that u mention in post.then try it will work

Upgrading Honor 4C to Marshmallow

Hi Currently I am having Honor 4c with Kitkat 4.4.2 (V100R001C636B160) version I wanted to Upgrade my android version to Marshmallow(CHM-U01C432B560) or any other custom ROM. I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.
Hi @keikari thanks for the reply, that is the case where I am facing the problem Neither I can install Twrp 3.0.1-0 (r1,2,3,4) variants nor lollipop or marshmallow update .I am struck with stock Rom tried more than 15 to 20 times . Can you provide any alternative solutions.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?
No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.
Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.
