Please redownload the package, it's been fixed up since release.

Unpack the zip somewhere you remember,

Boot in to recovery, wait ~30 seconds before you attempt to connect it to pc, using the USB lead.

Connect USB and wait for windows to say it does not have a driver for the connected device,

Right-click on 'This Computer' and choose 'manage',

Look up the 'devices' list and search for the C6603 with an exlamationmark,

Right-click that and choose properties,

Click the driver tab,

Click update driver,

Choose 'search for a driver in a folder',

Browse to the folder you remembered,

Install the unsigned driver anyway,

Fire up adb devices after it finishes installation and it should show you your device's serial with 'recovery' in the OS place.

Let me know if it works or not :)

Ok,will try in a minute. Just have to uninstall Koush drivers first I think (did that coz it wasnt working and u were updating as I was doing it) BTW, both Philz and TWRP are both dualbooting on .244 withouth issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Heh, I'm updating and cleaning up the driver package to make it a LOT easier for me to work on as we speak, a new version has been put online already, so if any attempt fails, please re-download and try again before you post your results...

Thanks for the help though, we need more people like you :good: :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hihi, I just also found out what i did wrong... and that is thanks to my cleanup... i removed everything except Sony models from the inf... that made it clear i forgot to add the x64 support :D

Redownload and try again :cool:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rumman Shaikh:
Will it work for stock .244 ,unlocked bootloader...using previous version of the dual recovery installed??:-/ Without any bootloops/ bugs??? :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tungstwenty:
I haven't updated the recovery to beta 2.7.1 yet, but I can confirm that with the drivers you shared (64-bits in my case), the issue I reported back in this post is now a thing of the past :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
AMD or Intel?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tungstwenty:
The driver works for either of them, "amd64" is just the codename for either AMD or Intel 64-bit cpus.

Mine happens to be an intel cpu (core i5), if that makes you feel even safer ;)

CWM Not coming up. TWRP is OK

Having problems in getting CWM after installation of 2.6.3 stable version on 6603.. Never had a problem on the earlier 6602, but in the last two 6603 phones, i've always had the root remount-reboot problem followed by CWM not coming up on Vol Up after green light (LED turns violet in response to Vol Up but no display)....

[Sony Cross-Device General] sigprof:
The Xperia ZR C5503 ROM 10.7.A.0.222 uses two separate mounts for odex files — /system/odex.app and /system/odex.priv-app (there are two separate squashfs images for them, and framework odex files are in /system/framework/arm and no longer stored in a compressed squashfs image). The previous ROM release (10.6.A.0.454) had just a single mount for odex files (/system/odex).

Unmounting those new mounts before starting the recovery fixes the /system mount problem in TWRP:

Mounting /system in TWRP works for me now; testing backup/restore will take some minutes.

[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Well, first of all. Just install the newest XZDR (flashable) from NUT's Website (see OP). You should be able to install it over the existing one. If this isn't resolving the issue, then please post the output of "mount" while you are normally running android.

EDIT:

Ok, thanks to [MENTION=4421569]sigprof[/MENTION]. I think he found the problem.

[Sony Cross-Device General] sontran_vietnam:
after install this ussing PC, what flashable file i should use to flash when enter recovery ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
if you're installing from pc just use the second link and install , you should have root ...

if you have a wroking recovery already, flash the 1st link . (but if your recovery already is working and flashing you don't need a fix!), so the safe thing is to install the second one from a PC. over the pre rooted rom you have

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] yes i can also confirm it works on Xperia Z 5.1.1, i did check mount, and i flashed several files with it....and ofcourse i'll remove all links and files once you release a patch.

[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
the app optimization at every start doesn't seem to be Recovery related, it might be some mod you flashed you flashed, probably something deodexed over the stock odex rom, maybe try to clear cache and delvik and see if that solves it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
You're right, it's definitely one of the mods.

Deletion of .odex file in arm folder and wiping dalvik afterwards, usually solves this issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
[MENTION=4623971]evildog1[/MENTION] i hope you didn't install the fixed version yet, i just realized that the recovery version of z3 is different from the XZ one, so after you get to 5.1.1 with root, you need to get the official installable recovery for your device and edit the dualrecovery.sh file and implement the fix in this post , you basically just need to add the 2 lines marked with the + sign and save it, then install it... or wait for the official fix , i don't think it will take much time.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Linkinsoldier:
I will get a replacement unit (my z3 has broken glas). Can I install dual recovery on the new device and restore "backup" (out of dualrecovery) from my old device? Will there be issues with IMEI or such stuff? Do I have to install the same software version first?

Linkin
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Yes you can restore on same software version, but for God's sake, do NOT restore the TA partition from the other device if is part of the backup! You will end up with a hardbrick :eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Linkinsoldier:
Thanks for the heads up. How can I make sure of this? I think I can only select "restore" in dual recovery!
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
In restore menu, make sure only boot, system and data boxes are ticked.
[Sony Cross-Device General] evildog1:
Thanks for the info. i had made my own pre-rooted firmware including recovery to keep the recovery.

I have NOT ODEXED my device. DSPmamager was the last mod i flashed and it works perfectly. 7 days later i enterd recovery mode and it still works but few weeks later recovery mode stopped working and my phone is having problem for no reason.

Can someone check if the md5 checksumm is ok?

I just downloaded the versions of xperia zr new several times and I always get a wrong checksum.

I wondert why rooting and installing of dualrecovery gets wrong and now I checked md5 checksum with MD5Checker and I get a wrong number. Maybe this is the reason.

I rooted with dualrecovery for xperia zr my smartphone well before and now, when wanted to go to Android 5.1 it wont work. I get back to Android 4.4.2 with flashtool and want to root it like before, but it says wrong adb files or so. So right now I dont have root anymore.

I will root und install dualrecovery under windows 10, but I dont think this is the reason for fail. Tried same on laptop of my wife under windows 7 and same probleme there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Ah, Sorry.

Well, first Stage (preperation.log) looks OK except this:

10:17:51 >> insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko
insmod: can't read '/system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko': No such file or directory
10:17:51 >> RET=1

This is a Module, which is providing "Native Language Support (UTF8)". I'm not sure this is causing some trouble. But I think not. And then the Log is saying that it will now start Stage2 (XZDualRecovery.log) by executing init.sh (=dualrecovery.sh) , but those logs are empty. So maybe dualrecovery.sh was missing?
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
that's why i thought maybe if he re installed the recovery it might fix it, or at least show what's wrong...
[Sony Cross-Device General] gegu2:
Above lines indicate that ntfs partition can't be mounted due to missing nls_utf8 module. Please see the first message at 10:17:51 available in preparation.log. It states that sdcard1 is ntfs type. Later in the same log file we can observe that exfat partition on sdcard1 was mounted. So the question is how the sd card is partitioned.

---edit---

I've checked last_log log files attached in recovery folder and i've found that once 32GB card with vfat was recognised (was used/present in phone and once there was 64GB card with exfat, so the answer for my question can help to solve the issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lemmi1:
Think I will wait till the fix is in the dualrecovery file for Xperia ZR. Dont know how to implement the fix myself.

Checksum now works. Used wrong tool to check ist. I used md5 instead of sha.

Right now I am without root and recovery on my Xperia ZR on Android 5.1.1 and hope that you may fix it ;)

But one small question. I was on Android 4.4.2 and dualrecovery could not root my XZR. Could the reason be my SD card? I used a 64 GB SD Card from SanDisk and it was split in two partitions cause of using link2sd before under Android 5.0.2. ? I think I read somewhere something about 64 GB SD Cards that could cause problems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Linkinsoldier:
Thank you. What I dont understand: I have the same software and the same recovery running on both phones, but in recovery on my new one I can't find my backup from my old phone. Is there anything I forgot? Backup on the old one to sd card, put SD card into new phone and go to restore + select external storage (nothing there :( ).

Please help me!
[Sony Cross-Device General] gegu2:
[MENTION=5409544]Lemmi1[/MENTION]

You may find information that 64 or 128GB cards can cause some problems, but this can happen only if are formated to exfat. I'm using 64GB card divided into two primary partitions. First partition for data (~50GB) is formated to fat32 (vfat) and the second one for link2sd (~6GB) is formated to ext4. All is working fine. Currently i'm on stock KK, but previously i didn't notice any problems related to fat32/sd card with this configuration on stock LP 5.0.2.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lemmi1:
On 5.0.2 I don't have any problems too. Same partitions as you.

But right now it won't work anymore. Think I will wait till it is fixed and then try again.

Looks line you used TWRP for Backup?

TWRP is saving its backups in a folder wich is named like the Serialnumber of your phone. So if you want to see the backups of your old phone you have to rename the old Folder with your new serianlnumber.
