TWRP Lost?

[MrTimeStop]

A strange issue that's occurred when I've flashed roms is I lost the ability to access TWRP and Phil's Touch Wiz, etc.
I'm not to sure as to why it happens, but I always end up having to repeat the whole rooting process again. IE, downgrading to Jellybean. Does anybody know why such a thing happens? And is it possible to install Recovery once you're on Lollipop with a rooted device?

I had found a TWRP version for 5.0.1 and just installed it with flashtool, but I can't find it again now that I upgraded to 5.1.1. I've also posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/whats-to-install-recovery-z3-t3176512

I had the same problem myself and not one reply-wtf. Just grab the latest (Z3-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip) from http://nut.xperia-files.com/. Extract to your pc desktop. With phone on (not lockscreen), run the install.bat file. It will tell you to plug phone in and once recognized, phone will reboot with a proper working xzdr.

Had the same issue with 5.1.1.

So far I think I've fixed it using the following steps:

1.- Downloaded SuperSU and copied to the internal storage
2.- Flash dual recovery using NUT's windows installer
3.- Once inside recovery, flash SuperSU
4.- Boot into the system and with a file explorer copied the XZDualRecovery from external storage to internal storage.

Haven't had an issue so far.
