It's meant for unlocked bootloader devices. It's similar to DooMLoRD's advanced stock except it will work with NDRUtils to control rebooting to recovery.

Hi,

I'm on the latest 115 rev. but can't get PhilZ to work (vol-up) - screen is simply black. Using vol-down I get into TWRP just fine ??? :confused:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mikkel (Z1 C6902)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Just wondering, can you adb shell to the device while seeing the black screen? If so, can you adb pull /tmp/recovery.log to attach here?

Phone Blocked

Hi,

I just flashed Z1-Lockeddualrecovery2.7.117-BETA.flashable and now my phone can't boot anymore.

(I was on NUT's 681 with LB, lockeddualrecovery 2.7.70)

It is stuck on SONY and I can't access recovery, what can I do?

Any help much appreciated cause I'm a bit f***ed up right now...

Fabio
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Did your phone reboot during the flash operation?

Why this happens to people I honestly do not know... It's such a weird issue :(

The only way you can fix your device now is to flash 534 kernel and system (don't wipe anything) and install using the unrooted option. Then flash the update package to 757 or 681 again...
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
i dont have any clue either, i flashed this morning 117 flashable without issue. Cheers.

Just a suggestion Maybe you could simplify someway the server with the names and the files for each device in order to people dont get confussed. I dont have any problem but there are a lot of people that just pic up the first file they see. I dont know if you understand what i mean.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes I do, but I have no time to work on that now...
[Sony Cross-Device General] - Fabio -:
Just Flashed 534 with Flashtool (wipe everything internal) and rooted it again with 360 ROOT.

I have a problem: I cannot set any APN...

What is the shorttest way to go to 757?

Thanks NUT.
[Sony Cross-Device General] timberwolf60:
There were two Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.117-BETA.flashable.zip with different file size. You should used 8.45mb file. I had experienced once last time. I refreshed 534 with option 3, then flashed 681 rom by NUT.

Thanks Mate but I flashed the flashable one, that's the only one I have on my PC...

After Installing dual recovery I falshed 757 zip then powered off my phone, then flashed 757 ftf with flashtool and guess what? my phone can't boot...

It's driving me crazy!!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I don't think this is a recovery issue mate...

If you did what I instructed, you will have a backup... Maybe you should try flashing the full ftf and see if it wants to boot at all using that firmware.

What model z1 do you have exactly?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Celestial Fury:
Success!

After encountering constant failure to flash the zip, I just installed it using the installer on WinXP and it works. But this 117 version, I can finally flash it successfully. It did give a message about "correcting permissions" so I assume that was the cause of the previous failures?
[Sony Cross-Device General] desean:
I had a similar issue with updating to 2.7.117 flashable caused my phone to be stuck with the SONY logo at boot. I was on my own DIY 681, upgrading from 2.7.101 (in anticipation that versions prior to 115 had flash halfway reboot issues).

Fortunately I created a backup prior to updating. Just had to reflash stock 534, root, update to my DIY 757 and restore data partition only. Wanted to do a quick upgrade but ended up the long way

MOD EDIT: Please don't quote the entire OP. Thanks!

its gonna work for 14.3.A.0.757 or not? i have tried already but nothing happen..:crying::crying:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Please remove the op quote from your post.

If you are currently unrooted, the installer will fail on 757.

You will have to go back to 534 (JB4.2) to have a rootable rom.
[Sony Cross-Device General] onyez:
will it work on the 101 rom for Xperia z
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It as in "unrooted install?", then no.
[Sony Cross-Device General] onyez:
My phone is already rooted with locked bootloader. will I be able to go back to stock recovery whenever I want.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Sony devices don't have any recovery. But yes, you can remove XZDR by using removal tool (on my downloads page).
[Sony Cross-Device General] onyez:
how do i go back to stock recovery. do i flash the removal tool via the recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Again: Sony does not have a stock recovery, period.

You can flash the removal tool through recovery yes.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.118 released for all but Xperia T (mint) with the latest PhilZ Touch (6.26.4).

It now also knows when to install disableric on the latest KK rom on the Z1/ZU and Z1C.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Just a quick question, the OP shows 2.7.101 as the latest beta release, this means that higher releases aren't "stable" as 2.7.101?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, as I posted it was online and it's also the only one available on the downloads page, you can accept it as 'stable'.

I decided not to do a changelog during the last debugging rounds, just to save some time.

I think it's almost release ready, there is one more change I want to do, making it a bit more streamlined during installation/flashing.

From there on I think I won't be releasing other updates unless people report apparent bugs which need solving.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Good to know that, also the mount USB and sd-ext backup are working now? Which version fixed it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] lbaquerizo:

Unfortunately there is no known exploit to write files on the system partition of Sony's KitKat without su binaries and RIC service enabled (in your case I think su binaries are there and you have partital / read only root).
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:

next version will be released with an update-binary replacement, rendering the need for edify and helper scripts obsolete.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lc1975:
From a newbie..

Need help if possible.. If it can be done..

Locked BL and using .757 version on a c6833 with parcial Root

Use ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.120-BETA.installer Optin 1 and then Option 3 and give me some errors..

Can be done?

Or no way....
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No way, with partial root it's virtually impossible, unless you have an unlocked bootloader. As soon as the lock has been closed down on system and rootfs, there is no way back in that session.

The only way is to downgrade to JB4.2 (534) and install on that, then restore a backup. Or not wipe data and try to keep it all during the update process. There is the odd chance that might work OK, but no warranties.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.120 released, nothing major, just a scripting booboo in the installer's install.bat file.
[Sony Cross-Device General] projekt06:
Just tried version 2.7.120 and it broke my widgets. I tryed to install latest stable cyanogen version 10.2.1 and bricked my phone.

Is there any difference between installer anf flashable package?

I bump few times into bootloop (updating from older version to new version) so I would like to use win installer this time...

Of course I'm rooted and I have working recovery (Don't know version but it's the one that fixed system mounting issue...)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Only difference is how it installs the files, it should not matter which one you use to update.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Updated from 2.7.117 to 2.7.121 without issues.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Olivier:
Hi [NUT],

this looks really interesting, great work. I'd like to add Xperia S support (forked your repo already as you may have noticed), but I need to understand how your system works. Looking at your repo on github, it looks like you use prebuilt recovery ramdisks, don't you? So basically I'd have to build PhilZ, CWM and TWRP for the XS right?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Correct, that or create the build folder I have on my system and have the kitchen build it for you.

New devices can then be added in dualrecovery.sh in the scripts folder. Enough examples there I'd say :)

It would be nice to be able to add support for some models other then the ones currently supported.

Hoping to add Xperia SOLA, J and P support too.

Hi just need clarification I'm on 117 and trying to flash the latest 121 but it stuck at SONY logo.Should I delete the XZDR.prop b4 flashing the 112?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
I didn't delete anything.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funky0308:
That's totally strange...

I have same problems (almost) every time I try to update recovery.

That's why I asked that question...

Maybe to remove your sdcard and copy file donotrun in XZD folder and put it back to phone.

That should stop bootloop and boot OS...

Only thing that I'm not sure is - could you install latest recovery from windows...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION], as soon as you already have XZDualRecovery installed, you can, even on KK and the secure sony releases. The existing xzdualrecovery has already demolished it, so it will install fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] is there any chance for bringing back MSC for internal storage? or at least MSC for internal storage in recovery? Making a backup with buggy MTP is the only thing that holds me back from unlocking the bootloader. :)

I'm talking about the Z1 (C6903)
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Xperia SDCARD Mounter

This can mount Internel Storage as MSC, but it is formatted in EXT3/EXT4, which Windows cannot handle natively that's why Sony disabled Internet Storage on MSC (90%+ of people use Windows).
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
I have a dual boot with Linux so it's not a problem for me. Thanks! :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b11aze:
Hey quick question,

so I make a backup of my system for flashing. Then I move the backup onto a folder to my computer same with my titanium backup folder. So when I wipe and flash a new rom, I have all of my files for my system backup and my titanium backup on my phone. After I restore all of my apps after flashing the new rom, can I move the backup files and leave them on the computer as well as the system backup to save space? Is there anyway that I can still restore the system if it gets stuck in a bootloop - (besides flashing a new stock one)?

basically I want to store the system backup and the titanium backup on my computer so they are safe and because they take up about 4 gb of space on my phone.

I tried to be clear but let me know if I should further explain

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
I wouldn't backup system apps with titanium, because they can vary from rom to rom. As long as you properly wipe your phone before flashing, you shouldn't get bootloops(can still happen). If you get a bootloop, try pulling the battery 1st. If your phone still bootloops, you have to use download mode and ODIN to flash stock ROM.

sent from somewhere
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b11aze:
right which I have done before. I just want to know that if my phone does get stuck somewhere (has happened before, and I had to flash a stock rom and lost everything - lost backup) Would I be able to move my system restore and titanium backup files from my computer to my phone to be able to recover?

Basically store backups on computer, then if something happens, be able to transfer them back to phone

Thanks for the help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] toolegit:
Generally it's good to leave backups someplace where they won't get easily corrupted or lost. Since the S3 has a microsd slot, sure, keep them on your computer and move them over if necessary.

My SOP is to keep the current backup on the microsd, and store the backups on my computer. Then if I need to reflash/nandroid back, they're there, and if my microsd is corrupted I have a known good backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
As long as you can get into your custom recovery after anything happens, backups will work. Make sure to backup system, data, and boot. If not and you have to flash using ODIN, like starting from scratch, you may have issues such as md5 mismatches.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b11aze:
ok I was just looking to see if it was possible or not to transfer backups from computer to phone if the phone cant turn on ie. stuck in download mode or recovery mode.
