Hello, there was a XZDR installer and remover tool on the xda, i tried to remove XZDR and then i selected XZDR installer, now my phone stucks at sony logo, pc companion doesn't see device, flashtool doesn't see device, what should i do, i can't even find that topic right now, help me please
[Sony Cross-Device General] zouden:
Turn your phone off. Hold the volume down button, and plug in to your computer via USB. Your phone should turn on with a green LED. This is flashmode, and flashtool should work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
FYI: I did not update the 2.8.3 packages, I didn't release anything new yet.

Small update:

I have made progress but it's getting late... 4:11 AM here now and my alarm clock to go to work sounds at 7AM ... so... I'm off to bed :eek:

So far, I have been able to get the XZDR Kernel version to work for 90%, just about everything is working again except the actual recovery boot.

Why did I work on that first? Well... it's teaching me a lot about the changes in LP compared to KK and most of them have nothing to do with what Sony changed... and there are quite a few to work around... :crying:

Just hang in there, I will get it working again :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] profprof:
Thank you so much for your answer, you saved my life :) :o :o you are my superman
[Sony Cross-Device General] Huey85:
Get to bed! We can all wait patiently. I mean, we waited how many months for LP to get released... we can wait at least another day or so for your recovery :) Thanks for your hard work! Cant wait to finally get Xposed back
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pistachio20:
he said he's investigating z2 my question is valid ... please don't make it seem as if i'm impatient, just asking if [NUT] has a certain time frame in mind so i can make an informed decision.

5803_23.0.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip - flashed boot.img via flashboot on 23.1.A.0.690 rom & it's working (except recovery).

Just an observation - (even on stock kernel) After messing about with root apps, it messed up the phone twice. Rebooting or turning on gets stuck exactly while the boot sound plays and it goes beeeeeeep forever. I could fix it by flashbooting kitkat kernel with recovery, and clearing cache and dalvik cache, and back to LL kernel.

So it's possible to use root browser with rw in system, but not total commander :( anyway I managed to remove all bloatware. But could we perhaps use a fota recovery, I think there is 2-3 different at the moment, but if they will work is a good question. just until yours is ready.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CharronDev:
What's a FOTA recovery?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Something you can't use if your bootloader is locked.

So, if your bootloader is locked: DO NOT USE THE FOTA RECOVERIES!!

Can Nut or someone please confirm if the flashable 2.8.3 for the Z3C on the download site has indeed been updated to properly provide system RW access? I see reference to the Z3 D6603 working fine with system write access in another thread, but I see no confirmation or reference of the z3c one. I'm not overly concerned about having the recovery functioning right now, but I'd like to at least have full root so I can re-install it later. It shows a download count of ~1900 so I suspect it has not changed?

My plan is to flash a pre-rooted 5.0.2 lollipop rom zip file, SuperSU zip afterwards to install just to be safe.

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] omar300:
question to people with unlocked bootloader.

did you guys try flashing this kernel then flash back lollipop kernel?

But I can also confirm that current version (2.8.3) does the trick on Z3C... r/w !!
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
[NUT] already confirmed that none of the packages have been updated in this post.

Someone in Z3 thread did modify a package to allow ric killer to install, which you can do yourself by opening the flashable zip and appending -o "$ROMVER" = "23.1.A.0.690" to the version checking in /tmp/installdisableric.sh

Hopefully Tablet Z2 LTE will also be able to enjoy the custom recovery on a Lollipop platform, the device feels...empty without a bunch of Xposed modules and root capabilities
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You probably are using 2.4, see OP at BETA changelog: download 2.5 from the link there.

I was already working on a new buildscript that would put the version of XZDualRecovery in more then just the name of the file. So 2.5 RELEASE will probably be the first one to show the version you are about to install in either recovery or in the installer version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
I was using 2.5 BETA actually.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kennethso168:
Great! Look forward to it!

Tried. TWRP asked this and I pressed yes. It seems to be fine after booting into system (su permissions can be granted without problems). Then next time TWRP did not ask this question again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
In that case provide me with the logs as requested in the OP under error reporting please.

hi. i installed dual recovery well but when the geen light appears and i press eg vol up ome times nothing happens, the phone continues to boot like normal.

Hello,

the Bootloader is unlocked and i have Android 4.22 from Sony installed. The device is rooted. I installed the CWM, with your batch, to my xperia and after the first reboot i see the CWM. When the 2nd reboot is ready, I can't boot in the CWM. The LED doesn`t start to blink violett, and pressing Vol+ do anything.

The Do you have any idea?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
First of all, this recovery shows you a GREEN led, the purple one is used by [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] in his kernel releases with recovery.

If you see it, then press either volume key. (up is CWM, down is TWRP)

If you don't see it, send me the logs from all the log locations. The OP under 'error reporting' will tell you everything I need.
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
It qill turn green but

After that nothing happens logs are comming
[Sony Cross-Device General] firefox-58:
Same here !

First boot OK. I can enter CWM as usual.

But on second boot it doesn´t matter what I do with the Volume button on green light. NEVER EVER there is a purple ligt afterwards nor the CWM starts.

Reflash of Recovery --> First boot ok BUT afterwards CWM gone like before..........

the file"D6503_23.1.A.0.690_XZDRKernel2.8.3-RELEASE.flashable.zip" in NUT website has a different hash checksum, it may be a bad upload or wrong checksum, but it could explain why it doesn't work
[Sony Cross-Device General] kjames2001:
upload ur own kernel just to make sure! that's what i did, so that i know the kernel matches the firmware.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alhaddad:
why would i ?! the idea is to flash NUT modified kernel which contain the stuff we need

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
A small update on progress:

The issues with XZDR are mainly caused by Sony actually properly setting up SELinux support for the very first time on the LP ROM's, something they neglected in all of the KK releases. This makes the LP version a lot more secure, which is a good thing. The problem is that I now know what to fix, but am still looking in to how to fix it. :angel:

For the techies among us:

During INIT the hijack still works, but the script is not able to change anything on the rootfs, it allows you to create a folder and if you mount a tmpfs on it you can write stuff to it, but if you try to write anything to the folder as it is (without tmpfs) it will not allow you to do so. This is because the SELinux context of my scripts is not set correctly, so the kernel blocks just about everything I try to do. I'm busy configuring and compiling a new busybox to include in XZDR with better SELinux support, as the one I am currently using is lacking the extended SELinux support I will need to fix this.

The other problem is that init is less easy to override with the init from the recoveries, it simply continues the LP boot, I am in the progress of including 2nd-init support ( created by SkrilaxCZ ) and will be integrating parts and ideas of the safestrap project by Hashcode to fix these issues.

The last but not least problem is that I can still mount the SDCard, but I am unable to write to it, most likely also due to the SELinux restrictions. If you remove the SDCard from the device it will use /cache which seems to be set up with less strict permissions and it will be able to do just about everything, except boot the actual recoveries.

Last night I worked from 23:00PM all the night up to 6:30AM, pulling an almost an all-nighter. I'm not giving up just yet :cowboy:

My thanks go to [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] for a late night chat (for me that is, he was at work as he is located on the other side of the globe!) which helped me find the most likely cause.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alhaddad:
ok, i installed NUT AdvKernel, i noticed it didn't make XZDR.prop on the sdcard! is this why it couldn't find the recoveries to boot them? the file /sbin/xzdr.sh in ramdisk needs the property file.

Edit: ops, nevermind, it suppose to be in /cache

[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
No, you need root for that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
&

The correct answer is: yes, but it depends on the rom version. The unrooted installation is using an exploit which is fixed on all the latest rom versions.
[Sony Cross-Device General] drorcun:
NUT, could you please explain, why someone has system rw rights and the other doesn't with same device with your 2.8.3 version? what's the differences about the devices?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tndb:
Some might use the FOTA kernel which requires unlocked bootloader and others may have root because they upgrade from a rooted kitkat and doesnt wipe the phone when applying the prerooted lollipop fw perhaps? (Not stating anything but merely guessing)

I flashed a prerooted lollipop (and did wipe everything aswell as I wanted to start clean) but didnt get r/w access until I flashed the FOTA kernel.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
It works for those that installed a modified flashable XZDR zip that includes the addition of 23.1.A.0.0690 version in /tmp/installdisableric.sh.

The current 2.8.3 package doesn't install RIC killer on 5.x because it doesn't know about the version number of that rom.

The modified XZDR zip can be found over in the Z3 general Android 5.0 thread,or you can open the zip and make the modification yourself.

There's also an PRF that already includes the modified zip.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tofu-:
Can i just use flashtool to flash that modified FTF over my rooted lolipop (without rw access)? Or do i have to flash back to .93 and start from scratch?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
Sorry, I mis-spoke. There's a modified PRF, not FTF, so it can only be flashed via recovery.

Going back to .93 and re-rooting is the safe route for now.

I'm looking at using dd flasher to pre-root and install XZDR for those that have root without r/w. It would allow to flash an the entire system partition that includes su and ric killer.

Well, read my last 2 updates, they tell you everything there is to tell up until today.

Cross-compiling busybox isn't as easy as one would think... It means cross-compiling a lot of stuff beforehand because busybox needs the libraries to include in the arm build of itself... And these libraries have their own dependencies and then you're in for a sh1tstorm... :eek:

Not easy at all... And most of all: time consuming o_O
