How Take recovery compatible to Nougat in D6603? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How Take a recovery compatible to Nougat in D6603?
I have a z3 d6603 and i unlocked the bootloader, but now i can't install android nougat, only I can install android 6.0.1.
How can I install a recovery that is compatible with the nougat android?
When i flash a Nougat kernel I can't acess to recovery but in marshmallow i do it without problem.

What Nougat kernel are you flashing?
There are no stock Nougat kernels for Z3 only the AOSP ones.
With those you will need to flash a recovery to the recovery partition / FOTA partition on the phone in order to have a recovery.

[Q] Bootloader Update

Heyhey.
I'm running a custom lollipop rom (crdroid 5.0.2) and twrp (2.8.5.0) on kitkat bootloader.
Now I also want to have lollipop boatloader.
Is it possible, just to flash this without loosing my data?
I heard that I have to flash motoboot.img from any stock Lollipop Rom.
I downloaded "XT1032_Retail_Brazil_502_Stock_Untouched", but I can't find a motoboot.img. Where do I get it from?
And I'm running "TWRP 2.8.5.0 _STOCK_KK is for STOCK device with f2fs userdata (NOT converted to GPE) and KitKat Bootloader" from here.
I think it will be the wrong recovery after updating bootloader. Should I change recovery before/after updating bootloader?
A lot of questions, I know. Some answers would be great.

didn't someone update (only) her/his bootloader?

From KitKat to Lollipop

Hey guys,
I am currently on the 4.4.4 stock rom with the latest Code Blue kernel (Built 450). In addition my phone has an unlocked bootloader, is rooted, got CWM Recovery and has Xposed installed.
Now I want to upgrade to the latest Lollipop version. I always get the notification "A systemupgrade is available" in the notificationbar.
So my first question is: Can I simply upgrade my phone from a stock KitKat rom with a costum Kernel to Lollipop via OTA?
If not, should I "just" flash the latest Lollipop rom via ADB or CWM?
Thanks, and every answer is appreciated!
No one?
I recommend this
In short, if you are already rooted / unlocked bootloader etc, there is no point in using OTA update.

Install 5.0.2. ROM while being on 5.1.1. Stock

hi guys,
i'm on stock 5.1.1. On a s6 sm-g920f, rooted with unikernel, installed twrp. now i'd like to install axis rom which is 5.0.2 based.
with their RLS3 release they've noted: "NOTICE: This ROM no longer flashes a kernel! This means it uses the kernel that is already loaded on your device. If you flashed a 5.1.1 ROM and are planning on flashing RLS3, you MUST also flash a 5.0.2 kernel.".
1. Is there kernel I could use from glewarne (not allowed to post links yet )?
2. is even possible or a good idea to install a 5.0.2 custom ROM (in my case axis) while I'm already on 5.1.1?
3. if the answer is yes would this be the procedure: install AXIS ROM in TWRP, install 5.0.2. Kernel in TWRP, REBOOT? or do I have to downgrade bootloader, modem etc.?
Please help and excuse me for being a noob
Come on guys. Didn't realize my question was that stupid anything??
It won't work. A 5.0.2 ROM needs a 5.0.2 bootloader. And atm downgrading the bootloader is a no-go.
Thanks!

Updating Bootloader safety?

Is it possible to update bootloader and/or radio on kitkat & not ruin the rom or wipe device to update?
To still run kitkat rom w/ newer bootloader?
Yes just flash them manually in fastboot, or flash a zip file in custom recovery.

S7 bootloader downgrade

I have a rooted S7 (SM-930F) and I want to install the nougat stock ROM. Currently I have oreo and the bootloader has a newer version than the one from the nougat ROM and I can't flash the nougat with odin.
How can I downgrade the bootloader so I can flash the nougat stock ROM with odin?
If I install a custom ROM based on android nougat, would the bootloader downgrade so I can flash then the nougat stock ROM?
Is this possible at all?
Thanks.

The bootloader will not downgrade but you can flash a custom nougat rom
