Known Issues:
....
device configuration: both recoveries think they are running on an Xperia Z ("yuga"), so users of a ZL or Tablet Z might run in to a ROM or MOD which checks the device ID and will claim it's not an "odin" (ZL) or "pollux_windy" (TabZ)... this is something I will fix in some future release.

ive been doing alot fo reading, and suprisingly no one has said how to use this if your ALREADY on 4.4.4 with the update,
i think i probably need to go back down to 4.2 then try and install this recovery, but how??
i want to get the recovery done, then get root, then go back to 4.4.4
any help guys?
Since @[NUT] has stated in the above post that access to the device's kernel.sin is needed to add support, here's two of them for the D5103 (18.1.A.1.14 and 18.1.A.1.21).
This recovery MOD leaves your original recovery.tar in place.
You can overwrite the chargemon executable in /system/bin/ from this MOD with your backup made earlier and change its permissions to 755 (-rwxr-x-r-x).
You can then remove /system/bin/dualrecovery.sh (if it is there), /system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar), /system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma and /system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar) and reboot.
The answer is in the post #2 of this thread.I have Xperia ZR 4.4.4 stock rooted.I installed the dual recovery and it worked.
Then I updated the busybox with busybox installer and now the recovery doesn't work.The phone vibrates on keypress on boot but doesn't load recovery
Pls Help
Uninstall Busybox updater, reinstall recovery, and don't try updating Busybox anymore.

Other minor fixes and improvements
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
Thank you for your very hard work without interruption.[NUT]I'm having issues with my Xperia T, so I am unable to give it a proper test
Please do speak up if you have been able to test 2.7.155 on it!

But why not update PhilZ Touch recovery to PhilZ Touch 6.59.0!!?
Does not support the Android 5.0 PhilZ Touch 6.48...:crying:
Does not support the Android 5.0 TWRP 2.8.1 ...:crying:
Android 5.0 only supports the recovery of TWRP 2.8.2 & PhilZ Touch 6.59.0.
Thanks for the update and for your hard work. But I'm having some issues with my Xperia ZL in TWRP 2.8.2.0. The screen doesn't turn off after screen timeout. It just goes blank. And the brightness. It just works upto 50%. Reducing it further doesn't dim the screen. Tried restoring defaults. And same issues. I'm on stock ROM and kernel KK 4.4.4
[snip]...but permissions are set like: Srw-Srw-r (644) (It seems like the 'S' is the problem, I'm sure GID and UID are ticked)...[snip]
