My Z3C has root and unlocked bootloader on Android 4.4.4. Trying to get custom recovery nothing works. When I flash recovery with fastboot, sending and writing is okay but booting into recovery only leads to stock recovery. I have tried different custom recoveries using fastboot and TWRP app but the outcome is the same. When flashing still another it failed because ”size too large”. I have tried:
1. Factory reset – no effect.
2. Using Xperia Companion to repair. When I tried to relock the bootloader it didn´t work: after 60 minutes I got ”Too many links”.
3. Flashing 23.0.A.2.93 via FlashTool. ”Preparing files for flashing. ERROR – null. Cannot open bundle. Flash operation canceled”.
4. Getting a new kernel via NUT´s Kernel Builder. ”Unpacking the uploaded kernel… Copying base packages...” After 30 minutes still nothing more.
To solve this problem I am planing to format the partition for recovery but can´t find it.
Adb shell and ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name results in:
DDR p17
FOTAKernel p16
LTALabel p18
TA p1
aboot p5
alt_aboot p11
alt_db1 p10
alt_rpm p12
alt_s1sbl p9
alt_sbl1 p8
alt_tz p13
apps_logg p22
boot p14
cache p24
dbi p4
fsg p21
modemst1 p19
modemst2 p20
ramdump p15
rpm p6
s1sbl p3
sbl1 p2
system p23
tz p7
userdata p25
But where is RECOVERY hiding??? Is my idea right or can anyone come up with something better?
