[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Lost root? :eek:

XZDR doesn't touch that, what did you do before/after/during the update? What ROM version? What SuperSU version?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kalios:
my mistake.actually the recovery & root is still there but no supersu.i reinstall supersu & yeah it back to suppose to be.sorry

[Sony Cross-Device General] ValVK:
NUT,

thanks for your excited work (as always :)

One question-what i could do wrong - i was on your .681 ROM and .100 Recovery (before that was installed 1000 time and other roms and your recovery).

I've downloaded your .101 build,start as always in TWRP with your toold,flash that Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.101-BETA.flashable.zip file,

and if i was started after that, i stuck on Sony logo..That is very strange for me, i was doibg so many times, but now it's failed...

Any idea? (before i go all the way from zero with .534 FW)

Thank you!
[Sony Cross-Device General] sdeft:
Thanks for releasing it for SP Nut.

Tried 101 but twrp doesn't seem to work. All I get is a black screen.

Let me know if you want to test anything.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Collect the logs as [NUT] requested in the OP and send to NUT, use the bug report button.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Asked DooMLoRD to test it, he confirmed it not to be working. 102 now does.

-------- unrelated ----------

Also discovered the XT version is broken ... ignore 102 for the XT, as it does fix TWRP, but it's still broken.
[Sony Cross-Device General] infatality:
OT.. How do I confirm if I'm on the latest build dual recovery.. Though I have successfully flash 101.. Just curious..
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Open /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery/XZDR.prop and check the version number.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The 16mb package is more likely the kernel package....

Glad you solved it though.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CAL7:
What is the kernel for? I've been updating the recovery all along and almost made the same mistake of downloading the kernel since the names are similar. I've got a locked bootloader, so I imagine I couldn't have gone far wrong, but I can't figure out what the kernel does.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The kernel is meant for unlocked bootloader devices. It contains all of the recoveries in the kernel ramdisk and doesn't need the system partition to work properly.

But I'd say there is a noticeable difference between -lockedbootloader and -XZDRKernel :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Are you able to create a movie on the use of TWRP to show what you mean?

[Sony Cross-Device General] AngelBob:
No, it must be rooted to allow install.

Not quite true, see above.

I have 0 issues running it on 10.4.1.b.0.101 - Stock Rooted
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
No, you are not quite right. It can be installed on ALL FW versions with a rooted device and on SOME FW with a non rooted device.

Taken from OP
[Sony Cross-Device General] AngelBob:
He asked can he use it on a non rooted device.

Not can he use it to root his phone.

So where am I wrong?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
There are few firmwares and devices where you can use NUT option (I think it's nr 2) "install on non rooted device".

For example you can install recovery on Z1 534 without rooting it first.

Restart, go to recovery and flash rooted ROM.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Because you can use it on a non rooted device. Yes the process starts the root process off (You still have to flash SuperSU from chainfire to get full root) but you can install it on a Non-rooted device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
This is actually only necessary when moving from any other recovery package to update or install this one. Between versions of XZDualRecovery this step can be omitted.

The windows installer can sometimes be a hassle as it needs drivers. The flashable package is just easier to install.

Yes, keep the one XZDualRecovery installs.

If a backup format would have changed, I would have put up a notice in the thread. Older backups can always be restored, no matter what version you use.

Hi mate, one question...

I had many kernel loop/panic or whatever it's called, when I try to update from older recoveries to newest...

Sometimes everything goes well and sometimes same jump (let say... from

94 to 97 version) results with a kernel loop...

I remember there was advice to delete XZDR.prop and then flash new recovery...

Why is that happening?

I would like to flash newest 101 version but I'm afraid I'll bump into same wall and I don't want to start all over again...

Is that problem something you know about or that's something that's happening only to some of us (I spoke to few guys with a same problems)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It should not be the cause of the bootloops anymore to be honest... but if you run in to a bootloop you can create a file called 'donotrun' in the XZDualRecovery folder to prevent XZDR to do anything and it will simply boot to the ROM. IF the bootloop has been caused by the updated XZDR, it should then not loop again.

It would really help if you could create a movie or something from the bootloop if it happens again. I have NO idea why it's happening to some of you... most users have no problems what so ever.

---------- UNRELATED UPDATE NEWS -----------

The Xperia T/V/TL/TX (The XT version) has been fixed, 2.7.103 now online, I have yet to test it on JB 4.3 though.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
I believe that WAS the problem, yeah...

Last time I experienced that on 97 version...

Just was curious because I saw there's no problems in last few versions...

I'll try to flash 101 version to see what's happening...tnx for replying ;)

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]...sorry for a noob question.I'm on .99 trying to flash the .101 but stuck at Sony logo.How to overcome this issue.Can guide me?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you still enter recovery?
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Ya mate
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
What does it do while showing you the sony logo?

Does it keep vibrating? Does it keep showing you the green LED?
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Just the green LED
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
hmm... green led and no continuous vibrations? that's odd...

You can enter TWRP and using the Advanced -> File Manager you can navigate to the XZDualRecovery folder and first try to remove the XZDR.prop file there.

If that doesn't help, use the commandline tool to create a file called 'donotrun' there (navigate to the XZDualRecovery folder, select it and then type 'touch donotrun' and tap 'Go'. But be warned: once you do, you will not be able to enter recovery again until you remove it from the XZDualRecovery folder!

Of course, after doing either, reboot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] timchew:
I realised an issue if I use Phil touch cwm recovery when installing rom with aroma installer that the phone will reboot before installation is completed and stuck at Sony Logo. I'm on locker BL. The Rom that I had tried is the Miui v5.

The installation is ok with Dual recovery 2.6.3 using the old cwm.

Z1 compact, with "Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.101-BETA.flashable.zip", it seems impossible to boot anything other than stock cwm. I tried volume down (for TWRP), still cwm boots. Volume up does the same thing. Bug?

Edit: Ok, so I'm not even supposed to get into CWM by just volume up or down. Well: I can't get in to either PhilZ Touch OR twrp atm with this latest beta :/

Edit2: NDRUtils doesn't manage to boot into any of the recoverys. Im on fxp313 CM11 btw :)

I think this just happened to me on SGP311 Tablet Z!

I had 2.7.86 installed, rooted with 4.3 version .109

I decided to flash 2.7.95 zip from recovery, and re-booted the tablet, now all I have is the Sony logo when I power on the tablet. I cannot seem to enter recovery mode, but I can enter flash mode, so I suppose I could flash downgrade to .370, root, and start all over again with the .109 stripped update, (that's if it will work)

I used NDR Utils to enter recovery as I alway found it hard to get into recovery - is it power on, when Sony logo appears, keep pressing volume up button (don't continuously hold?). With this tablet there is no vibrate, and I only get a green led when charging is complete (actually not sure if it's green when charging or after charging complete). I can turn off the tablet only by holding the power up button and power off button - the white light flashes once there is a pause, then the white light flashes again three times.

Update. When i plug my usb charger into the tablet, it does not appear to be charging (no continuous light) and won't even turn on to the Sony logo

Update 2. Never mind, I followed this guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703774, and have root and 4.3 version .109 with the old version of XZDualRecovery (2.7.86)

What do you think happened?

Or have a look around the sys partition to see if you can visually spot the LED control bits there?

If you could check /sys/class for the led control files by hand and post the paths here that would be great.

AngelBob pointed me to a trend in the latest builds and a missing folder which is kinda crucial.

I'll release a new version for all supported models tonight, which should solve the problems people have with flashing roms using cwm/philz.

Also I have updated the supported devices on Google play so all users should get the latest NDRUtills pushed to their device.

A new update is on its way fixing NDRUtils on devices which have an external sdcard which the boot scripts can't mount for whatever reason.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.107 online now.

It corrects a lot of smaller issues. The major issue fixed on the Xperia T is that I've successfully stopped it rebooting because of a modem crash in TWRP and CWM.

PhilZ Touch however still needs to get fixed.

XZDualRecovery will now update or add the key nodes to the XZDR.prop file during installation or update using both the installer and the flashable package. This will prevent a change from (e.g.) a JB 4.2 ROM on the Xperia Z to the JB 4.3 update to make XZDualRecovery fail on the key press registration, as it was still listening on the wrong input node which was correct for JB 4.2.

PhilZ has been updated to 6.26.1, thanks to [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION]
