Just tried it on my unlocked Z1
results:
I flashed the TA update as I was supposed to do and EMMA said that nothing went wrong
Flashed twrp recovery (fastboot flash recovery)
pressed power and volume down -> phone vibrated -> let go of power -> sony logo shows up and phone boots normally...
Am I missing something?

Which devices are compatible? For now, just those with Cortex-A7 processors. Those are:
•Xperia T2 Ultra
•Xperia T3

Actually you are wrong. According to developer.sonymobile.com the Z1 product line is also supported:
Supported devices
With the latest software provided through our Flash tool for Xperia devices, recovery mode is available for Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra, and Xperia T3 devices with unlocked boot loader.

However I'm no Sony developer and I'm facing the same issue.
Xperia Z Ultra user here and the same result, device is booting normally when holding power and vol-. Maybe because the recoveries are made to work on FOTAKernel partition and they won't work on normal recovery partition?

That sounds interesting [emoji106] But do you think also the recovery images without boot?
I don't know how things are on Z1, but on ZU we have TWRP which can be flashed to FOTAKernel partition, so it can be booted on custom roms and it survives flashing custom roms. The thing is, the recovery is packed with FOTAKernel ramdisk so it still can be functional and maybe when we flash it to normal recovery partition and try to boot from it, the device don't know what to do because of the FOTAKernel ramdisk packed with it? Seems like this could be the reason but I am not an expert (15 yrs old stud can't know much about it ), just presuming. If so, recoveries have to be rebuilt to work now.
Regards
OK, yes for Z1 we have an unofficial TWRP 2.8 build to use with FOTAKernel partition. Perhaps it's the same as you described for ZU. BTW., I'm a 16 yo student, so can't know much either [emoji13]

It seems to work for me now! Flashed a random recovery to the FOTAKernel partition of my Z1 (ROCKZ1L kernel) and I had a twrp recovery on the recovery partition. Steps after that:
Press volume down and power and wait for vibration then release power and when the sony logo shows up and the purple led goes on release volume down and the recovery should boot!

Ehm.. Are you sure you didn't just flash a kernel with builtin TWRP recovery? Thats something different and has nothing to with the new bootloader, actually that's what we used to flash a recovery before the update...

But can you tell me how exactly you flashed it? Via FLashTool or via fastbbot flash recovery?

Possible but I remembered that my kernel only starts the recovery if the volume down button is tapped every second
and I flashed it via adb shell as fastboot has no access to the fotakernel
just copy the img over to your sdcard and do:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
actually there is a recovery img in the latest aosp build for amami, but after flashing the whole rom it bootloops and the recovery is not possible to access
For locked bl also ?
Because i see in the video only unlocked bl !
Bye bye DRM keys or not ?
U have to wait for prebuilt recovery by devs with needed changes or use fxp builds. For now it doesn't work like all thinking.
BTW, for unlocked Bootloader.
Good news, as @dkionline said, recoveries from AOSP builds from fxp works fine here on Z Ultra for example, but they are just pure AOSP ones and for me on ZU, the recovery menu is not visible, there is a Sony logo, then the Android with exclamation mark and pressing Power and Vol+ (on my Nexus 5 it brings the menu) just leaves you with a blank screen.

Hi
my M2 is unlocked, with open device kernel. I have a CM recovery.img but there is not backup/recovery option in it. So I wanted to know if it is possible for someone to build a twrp recovery.img for the open device kernel
Thank in advance

Hi,
I tried flashing this recovery before installing a lollipop rom but since I was still using slimkat I think the kernel and recovery aren't compatible. So I can't access recovery anymore.
I've tried reflashing recovery using the dual recovery installer method which succeeds but doesn't actually change anything.
When I reboot to recovery im just sitting at the Sony logo. Any ideas?

Please read the OP properly for LP ROMs don't know if it will work on Stock too because Custom Stock ROMs don't need that. Also by the log looks its success now it will work from power Menu Reboot to Recovery.
And if u dont have power Menu Reboot to Recovery then get some knowledge how to do that or flash another ROM

nvm fixed it by flashing the very first version of twrp that was listed on the site

You just have to make sure to reboot directly to recovery/twrp after the flash... The new recovery will not stay if you reboot to system or bootloader after the flash.

Hi,
I have the same issue. i want to upgrade to lineage 14.1 but when i tried to upgrade to cm13 after unbricking i went straight into bootloop or brick or something. im not exactly the smartest on this topic aha. have you figured a way to upgrade to lineage os?
Just press and hold power button + volume up+volume down , all three together for few seconds. You'll be in recovery, from there you can go into fastboot(bootloader)
once again its showing the zuk logo only..
is there any solution??
How to install:
Make sure that you have unlocked bootloader of your device
Download TWRP for Xperia Z1
I recommend all you to download the latest version
Flash via Rashr, Flashify, Flashfire, adb or terminal emulator (rooted required)
Via fastboot command:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp_<version>.img
Update from older version: flash via TWRP > Install Image > Recovery partition
Note:
The system-as-root version is used for Android Q rom, don't use it for Android P & below
We can use normal version for Android Q , but it may not work properly with system-as-root in some case
OpenGapps for Android 9.0 & below are not compatible with twrp 3.4.0. In this case, use previous twrp version instead
How to boot into TWRP:
Method 1: turn off the device, press and hold both volume down and power, after the phone vibrate, release all key.
Method 2: (only available on some custom roms), turn off the device and power on or restart it, when LED light turn Pink/Purple (or other colors), press volume up or volume down button for a couple of times until the TWRP is displayed.

Flashed via Fastboot on my Z1. No problems at all. Excellent work. Thank you.
I have been using this for a few days and it works good! Nice job!
