Problem after install recovery!

hello Everyone,

I am having problem after installing the dual recovery.

1. I've rooted my phone using on click easy tool revcovery. (Went fine)

2. Back up my TA

3. install su from google store

4. Ran the bat file (Windows 8.1) to install dual recovery zu-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA installer.zip (My z ultra c6833) bootloader locked)

Once completed it reboot to the sony logo, pink light come on for second and then gones, then Im stuck on the sony log screen.

Has anyone else experience this problem? any advice on resolving the issue?

Thank you

Try hard reset using reset button on phone. Hold till it got 3 vibrate. Then turn on.

[Sony Cross-Device General] sshaikh2000:
Great That work, why is this happening? tried a few time to install dual recovery, but keep doing the same thing.

Any help.

Thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Try reboot to twrp recovery using the, now installed, NDRutils. My guess is that philz is failing to start...
[Sony Cross-Device General] jdarski:
Has the same problem on my tablet Z. Flashing the Romaur fix from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49472523 helped.

I have the same problem on Sony Z1 stock rom (kernel) 4.4.2 directly after frech flashing o dualrecovery. Only TWRP loads... would it help there too?
[Sony Cross-Device General] nickcaper:
excuse me sir but the link to download the file just goes to a page FULL of files and none fit the description I need.

Anyone have the link to the file for Dual recovery file for the Xperia Z c6606?

Also a FTF of the latest update would be great!
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Installer - XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip (10.82MB)

Flashable zip - XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.flashable.zip (8.77MB)

I'm not going to directly link to the files because [NUT] has asked people not to do that.

As for an FTF of the latest update for your device, you should search in the Z general section. ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] jonpenn101:
[NUT]

I got it sorted.

Rooted again using the Easy Root Tool v7, had to go through each .exe and set the compatibility ran it then ran dual recovery and it worked.

Philz wont load for some reason but i do have twrp working.

It's one small step for JonPenn, one giant leap for anyone stepping over me!

[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
Ditto for my Z2 Tablet. No problem booting to TWRP, either by vol-dn or NDRutils. Can get to CWM via NDRutils. But PhilZ hangs at SONY logo, whether by vol-up or NDRutils - only way out is red button hard reset.
[Sony Cross-Device General] evaokay:
the same problem,cant into PhilZ
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lasantha:
got throug to philz by attaching usb otg.in philz usb otg dont mount though.twrp cant mount my sd.phiz does

I'm glad to confirm that 14.4.A.0.108 gets rooted by towelroot.:good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Foggcas:
Hi All. Help please. I have a Z1C, rooted with newroot method. installed the Installer XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip recovery and it seemed to install correctly.

Rebooted and now I'm stuck on a screen just giving me the Sony logo...

I have no idea how to reboot the phone from here...

OK.. I figured out how to reboot.

I have now tested booting into Philz and TWRP and I can successfully boot into TWRP. When trying to boot into Philz I get the SONY screen again and nothing else.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
i cant download from nut files

can anyone upload the xz installer zip?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Nobody can or may.

I'll pm you a Google drive link soon.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
thanks nut i downloaded the file by a friend of mine ;) found the reason is towelroot....

the badass iam i used the towelroot method and now

your script say..try a save reboot but now my phone is bricked...

screen is black only the display light =>i cant power down the phone

could you help me with that problem

flashtool dont recognize the phone, adb also.... any specific key combo to hard reset the phone?
[Sony Cross-Device General] nukharma:
Same here too.....twrp fine....Philz hangin on Sony....only "Reset" to shut it down. FW .534 with XZDual.129 Beta.

Also the same on Z Ultra since update to .129beta.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Foggcas:
I've gone back to 128 beta on my Z1C and both recoveries are working now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Your phone isn't bricked, it's PhilZ which is buggered. Use power + vol up and hold them until you feel your phone vibrate 3 times. This will reboot your phone, use vol-down to enter twrp at the dual vibrate and green led.
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
Yeah same here with ZL. Philz isn't working. Twrp works fine. Only bug in twrp is time.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
ok thanks for your help but other problem => i know how your recovery works but

my phone reboots =>sony logo....normaly when i pres up or down the led is blinking...

[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
All good on z ultra 4.4.4 :D

Ndr Utils all good too.

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] I've linked this thread in my 4.4.4 ftf ZU thread (thought it polite to let you know)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.130 now online, with EasyRootTool v8 based unrooted option.

For at least the Z1 philz is still broken so I made TWRP the default recovery for the time being. This will only apply to those who are installing for the first time.

Because of this I am keeping 128 online as philz in that release does work on most supported models.
[Sony Cross-Device General] evaokay:
z1 ,130 the same problem with Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA,vol up can't load into PhilZ Touch recovery

anyway,thanks a lot
[Sony Cross-Device General] apple-part:
Please read the post above your post completely! PhilZ Touch Recovery is not fixed in .130! Please use .128 for working Philz!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.131 now online (except for Z Ultra, it will be released soon).

This should fix philz on the Z1, Z1C and Z Ultra

It also introduces a small fix to the unrooted option, some files where left behind. These will now be removed.

Next version should be able to install using an unmodified TowelRoot for devices which do not have some kind of hardcore RIC protection.

[MENTION=3233991]NamenIos[/MENTION] are you able to confirm if PhilZ and TWRP are able to turn off the screen with this release?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zegun:
i tried .131 fro my 4.4.4 Z1

this one: Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.131-BETA.installer.zip (10.65MB) -- i shouldn't be mistaken right?

Philz is still broken, am i missing something?
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
no luck here with ZL. philz is broken in .131
[Sony Cross-Device General] benson621:
I have also installed v2.3 dual recovery and now bootloops with sony logo vibrates again and again.

I dont know what mutator.zip is, thus the chargemon.stock is.....

what can i do?

please help

i dont want to lose everything
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Do you have an external sdcard? If so, take it from your phone and on your pc, put a file called 'boot' inside the XZDualRecovery folder. Then create a file called 'default' in it and put in the word 'twrp'. Then download the mutator package from my files link (see signature) in the XZDualRecovery folder. Put the sdcard back in your phone and reboot it. You'll end up in twrp and then can install the mutator. Select the right chargemon.stock to install and your done :)

All without losing anything!
[Sony Cross-Device General] benson621:
really thanks, now i can finally back to my homescreen

but what is the chargemon.stock? i dont need to hv it with the v2.2 one?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You do, it was a bug in the 2.1 and 2.2 flashable installer which caused it to NOT create a backup. Earlier versions (2.0) of the flashable installer fubarred even more and overwrote the existing file with a 'fresh copy' which was simply the old script ...

You need chargemon.stock for offline charging (charge your battery when your phone is turned off).

What happens is that the copy of the old script took it's place and it was calling itself over and over again...

Sorry about that! I created the latest mutator version specifically to be able to fix this issue for anyone who experienced what you where experiencing... :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I STILL NEED APPLE MACOS X USERS

[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
Ftw...cant boot in twrp or cwm,all of a sudden :what:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If you get a 2 second burn of a RED led: Did you perhaps 'update' your busybox installation?

If so, reinstall XZDualRecovery using the pc installer... this recovery needs a version of busybox which supports lzma commands...
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
Log file on external sd
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
Just wanted to say that i indeed updated busybox,hahahahah but my led is burning a fraction of a second,not the mentioned 2 seconds dough,

Cant i just downgrade busybox binary or is the recovery completly broken
[Sony Cross-Device General] shem2409:
If you still have root access you could install TWRP installer APK and then just install the recovery from there. Then you can try flashing dual recovery one more time.

Link to thread with APK:

[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
And my busybox what about that?

Actualy i just want twrp,not that fond of cwm hihi
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The XZDualRecovery installer package has the busybox in the files directory, you can copy to /system/xbin by hand if you want, but reinstalling is easier.

-- EDIT --

It's no downgrade btw, its a spin off from the one the Busybox installer app installs, the one in the XZDualRecovery installation is actually more rich in supported applets and i have not seen it fubar on any of them yet.
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
Wich files do i need to copy over? All of them in the zip under folder?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Which package do you have?
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
Dual 2.3 release windows.zip.

Does this have any bugs so ive read
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, AFAIK. busybox can be found in the files directory if you wish to copy it by hand.
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
Ok thnx unzip the thing and copy what files to system/xbin? I have the zip on my phone,so i can copy/paste it hahaah
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Just busybox and then open a terminal app and after copying it to /system/xbin type in the terminal:

su
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
chown 0:2000 /system/xbin/busybox
ln -sf /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

Reboot to see if that fixed it, which I suspect it will have.
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
No go
[Sony Cross-Device General] demon2112:
When i copyd the busybox it asked me if i wanted to replace it,i said yes and fixed the permissions but didnt rebooted in between so i directly did the terminal lines

[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
Tab Z2, SGP511. Flashed .131. Agree with the above report that PhilZ is broken. But, also... now I can't get to TWRP either. Both vol-dn and NDRUtils boot into TWRP recovery fail and require reset.

To go back down to .128, should I follow OP instructions to "remove" dual recovery, or revert to single stock recovery? And then use .128 installer?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zegun:
as for my case, TWRP works for me

it's just Philz that's broken
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
'The hell? I didn't touch TWRP since 128 ... :confused: :silly: :eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
better to remove dual recovery first.
[Sony Cross-Device General] apple-part:
confirmed on z1c! PhilZ is broken in .131.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ayene:
zr could't boot to recovery

I have xperia zr with official 4.4.2 unlocked bootloader. I use ZR-unlockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.installer and ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.131-BETA.installer and all the step of installation seemed ok. but after boot and press vol down or up or touch screen dont boot to recovery. i also test the fix but nothing
[Sony Cross-Device General] NamenIos:
Here is a twrp log (did not delete the old one but did see a message that it is succesfully copied, so 90% thats a good log): http://pastebin.com/0b8Yy8fi

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Uploading 2.7.132 now.

2.7.132 now online: This release has a working PhilZ for Z1 at least. I believe we have found the culprit...

Let me know if it works for you too!
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
I can confirm that 2.7.132 have both PhilZ and TWRP working on Z1 (C6943 running 14.4.A.0.108).
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
Working fine in my ZL too.:D
[Sony Cross-Device General] BarbasanAB:
Working perfectly on Z1C... Much Thanks....
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It's odd, because it is doing everything correctly, no errors to be seen... very, VERY strange.

Are you still running a stock based ROM on your tab z2?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DiLeon:
very mixed emotions... everything went well on my Z1c and both recoveries are working now but 1.32 '(installed via twrp from 1.31) totally messed up my TabZ2 (stock .402). No recovery is working anymore and my system partition is read only again. Trying to fix that with v8 fails because of the r/o system partition, regardless if I choose 1 (rooted with SU) or 3 (towelroot)

I guess I have to re-flash the system partition with flashtool and then i will retry to root with v8 again :(

1st time i did that, v7 and 1.25 worked fine for me.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DiLeon:
- reflashed stock system partition

- re-rooted succesfull with v8

- re-installed DualRecovery 1.32 but freeze at Sony-Logo again for both recoveries

- re-installation of 1.28 gave no errors but does not change the situation

will re-start where I began and stay with 1.28 for the time being...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I understand the mixed emotions ... I'm working on it now, thanks to your confirmation of the problems I know the issue is not in the installer but in the recoveries themselves. I'm updating sources and will be releasing 133 soon which should hopefully fix it.

Thank you for your bug report.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
Yes, sir. 17.1.1.A.0.402 rooted with zxz0O0's invocation of towelroot. Never unlocked the bootloader. I don't remember which version of your dualrecovery I started with, but it was the first version you released for the Z2T and ran fine (although I never use PhilZ except to test the recovery, so I don't know about it).

Is this possible a clue: To remove dualrecovery, I deleted the files per the OP, but a couple were not present in /system/bin ("charger", "ric"). And, after the re-installation of .132, they are not present now.

If I haven't said it before, and even if I have... Thank you for all the good stuff you're giving us Xperia owners.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well... As I said before to [MENTION=4677694]DiLeon[/MENTION], i'm suspecting an issue with the recoveries themselves.

If you want to start fresh, you can use the XZDR-removaltool which you can flash in recovery (haha, nice catch22) ... anyway...

In 132 even booting to CWM through NDRUtils did not work?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DiLeon:
No, even CWM via NDRUtils did not work. I'm now back on 1.28. As I'm very familiar with the whole process, I can test in advance for TabZ2 if you like.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
Standing by for .133. Let me know if i can help.

I'll try to remove dualrecovery and use the .128 installer. See if that installs.

Just tested and confirmed NDRUtils->CWM not working.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
This reply also applies to [MENTION=2621438]CAL7[/MENTION], if you could both test, two confirmations are always better then one, as I don't have the device myself :)

FOR TAB Z2 ONLY: 2.7.133 is now online.

This has a freshly compiled set of recoveries. Please test them all, if you have a working recovery now, use the flashable package. Test the recoveries and then try the installer.

Check the time in both TWRP and PhilZ if you manage to get in. I have fixed some issues with the time daemon, moving the fixes out of the scripting and in to the recoveries themselves.

BEFORE you test anything: please tell me what ROM version you are using right now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
ROM: stock 17.1.1.A.0.402
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Ok, that's a safe version to continue. go ahead :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
Vol-Dn boots into TWRP. The display is too large and off-center to the left, so that the only buttons visible are: Install - Wipe; Backup - Restore; Mount - Settings. The swipe to unlock screen icon is not visible on the screen, so once it locks I can't unlock TWRP. Time is off by one hour, set to US CST). Can't see or get to the date. Once I go into a submenu, I can't see the back buttons so I have to hw reset to exit due to lack of button access.

Vol-up does not get to PhilZ. It hangs as before. The sequence is the SONY logo, then the green LED (whereupon I hit Vol-Up) and the LED flashes magenta, but then nothing. Right after the magenta LED flash, I do see a flash off/on of the SONY logo that I had not noticed before. Also, once it hangs, I don't need to do a h/w reset; it boots into system with a brief push of the on/off button.

Using NDRUtils to boot to PhilZ gives the same results as a Vol-Up boot. Also NDRUtils to CWM hangs the same as PhilZ. NDRUtils to TWRP is identical to the TWRP as I describe above.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Meh... Like I said, I updated sources ... which didn't include some of my fixes :eek: :rolleyes:

2.7.134 incoming in about 45 minutes... will apply my previous patches...

Thanks for testing, and your patience. For the next test, you can try if you can remount system in a file manager app and you should be able to copy the new recovery ramdisks in to system/bin by hand to update. Saves you one more flashtool and root process to walk through...
[Sony Cross-Device General] NamenIos:
Both recoveries working, both have time and date problems as well as no backlight turn off (well not supprising ;)) here are the logs:

TWRP (probably not interesting): http://pastebin.com/ff40pHcx

PhilZ: http://pastebin.com/7A0pN7Jg

Can't find the code in TWRP source that causes: I:TWFunc::Fixup_Time: not fixing time, it seems to be already okay (after year 2000). Thanks to the github search (google with site:github.com doesn't help either) Maybe this could fix the time in TWRP (in PhilZ the Qualcomm daemon fixes something time related if you activate it manually I believe)
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
Yeah qualcomm time daemon in philz fixes the time and date if we activate it manually.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I've already located the code and commented out that check, it's useless on Sony devices, it was checking for anything older then 2000 ... while our sony devices all start with a date somewhere after 2009 ...

I changed that so the next release will have it enabled by default instead.

Both fixes should trickle down in the next release.

[MENTION=2621438]CAL7[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4677694]DiLeon[/MENTION]: fixing and building is taking longer then expected, my sources where more complete then the one's I just adopted... too bad I threw mine out the door while doing so :( Rest assured I will get it fixed, it will just take a little more time...
[Sony Cross-Device General] DiLeon:
same here for me with 1.33 on TabZ2 with stock .402 -> TWRP cut off and not usable this way, Philz and CWM still not working
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=2621438]CAL7[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4677694]DiLeon[/MENTION]

2.7.134 now online. Freshly built... This version should at least have a correctly proportioned TWRP for use on a tablet.

I also fixed some issues with CWM/PhilZ ... I hope these will make a difference.

Unpack the recovery ramdisks from whatever release you grab, push them to /system/bin to replace the one's there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DiLeon:
I replaced the recovery with ramdisks from 1.28 and flashed 1.34 -> only TWRP working with correct proportions

For Philz (maybe this gives a hint): green LED -> Volup -> magenta LED -> LED turns off -> Sony logo flashes once -> hanging
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you try to connect USB while it is 'hanging' and see if you can connect to it using adb shell?

Maybe it's something as simple as a wrong brightness path... :|
[Sony Cross-Device General] creison:
My XZ wont boot up after upgrade to XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.128-BETA.flashable.zip (8.75MB).

Using now XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.flashable.zip (working normal).
[Sony Cross-Device General] GuySmiles:
Just tried .132 and both PhilZ and TWRP are working again!

Thanks so much for the quick update! I'm pretty new to the Z1 so I thought I had done something wrong... phew!
