If you read the OP and the answers given, you'll see that you can directly install the official TWRP for Xperia V
by downloading it from there and following the multiple instructions available.
I have already tried the official one,and already tried the instructions,nothing,I have still cwm and not twrp after flashing it

I think, you haven't read the op exactly: It's for mm, but should work with lp, too. And you're on pa kk...

I'd suggest to install cm13 first (follow the instructions of the corresponding cm13 thread, e.g. migration and clean install). When you've finished that, it should be possible to install TWRP.

I've installed stock ROM on my Xperia TX LT29i and then rooted with King Root then I installed TWRP using fastboot but after that it is looping into TWRP. Now it's not loading the system.
Please guide me to fix this issue.

Hi.
Please edit your post and delete the giant quote of the first post ;).

You are looping into TWRP because you installed TWRP into the boot partition,
hence it boots only on TWRP and can't use the ROM's Android bootimage.

As detailed in the first post, you have 2 ways to install TWRP into the FOTA partition,
making it "permanent" and bootable on power-up, while keeping Android in the boot.

Thanks for your kind reply/help. Actually I'd fixed that and now I'm back on Stock ROM but I really want Custom ROM v7.1 but I'm having "phone sleep/power off" issue.
Can you please guide me on that

You might want to read that : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70640214&postcount=8
Other than that, there's no issue that I know of that would power off your device, the device is fully usable for now.
Thanks for your reply. Battery don't drop even after I start my phone again, battery still the same e.g if my phone got off when battery was 90%, after starting again, it's still 90% or 89% and don't drop very fast

I know that kind of battery issue which I'd faced with my Samsung S4 but now battery is OK

Anything else that is causing this issue?

Hi,
so i read all this but I still want to ask, if the way i want to do this is right, because i'm new to all this and i don't want to do something wrong.

I have a Sony Xperia V lt25i, on which i unlocked the bootloader and i rooted it, but nothing more.

When i got it right i now have to flash this file "twrp-3.0.3-20170224-boot-tsubasa" by typing "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.0.3-20170224-boot-tsubasa.img" and i have to flash it into boot because recovery isnt existing on sony smartphones.
Then i have to boot into recovery and flash the "twrp-3.0.3-20170224-fota-tsubasa". Does it flash this by his own into the fota folder?

And then when i flash a rom it installs it by his own into the boot folder?

Another question: On the twrp-website a "extract_elf_ramdisk-master" is mensiont, what does this file do an do i need it?

Sorry for those stupid questions but i dont want to do something wrong.

Hope somebody of you can help me. :)

Congrats because for a beginner, you got it all right from the first try.

Everything you said is ok.

About the extract, you're not concerned with that, it's our Dev side work that makes the necessary extraction of the fota partition to get the recovery. You'll find details for the keys on boot in my Nougat threads and the LineageOS wiki for this device.
