Guys, i installed 2.4 version, it doesn`t workink in 4.2, now how can i update it to 2.5 beta, and where is the link for download ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
read the OP again, specifically the part on the BETA changelog ... :p

Download the 2.5 BETA windows installer and install it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iFlasher:
Hi NUT

AS now z3 users have root and can install your kernel in locked bootloader, is posible an update of the recovery for .77 firmwares of Z3 series to get read/write in system and no only read?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
As far I know XZDualRecovery already make the system rw. If you're getting system ro during the XZDR install just mount the system as rw.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iFlasher:
Do You mean to set as r/w directly in the recovery?

Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
No, set the system as rw before installing XZDR, after the install XZDR should set the system as rw automatically after every reboot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iFlasher:
But then my question is ¿How do you set as r/w before install the recovery?

Sorry for my dumbness...

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Run this in your PC with the device connected and USB debugging on:

Go to the folder where XZDR install files are with a command prompt then type:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
[Sony Cross-Device General] graffixnyc:
Let me clarify, with the .77 kernel XZDualRecovery will not boot. The device does not boot at all if you flash it on the .77 kernel, However it will boot on the .93 kernel if you flash that but then obviosuly things like wifi and such will be broken. We need an update to either XZDR or the WP kernel module based on .77
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Got it! Just give [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] some time to update XZDR, root for Z3 is out for just a few hours ;P
[Sony Cross-Device General] graffixnyc:
:) I'm in no rush.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iFlasher:
So, my last dumb question..

Both, the recovery or the WP kernel update work in locked bootloader?

(Sorry, I can´t give you thanks because I reach my limit for today)

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] graffixnyc:
Yes just like it does on a locked BL and .93 :) I just went back to .93 for the time being with dual recovery and wp/off until there is an update so I can create a package for .77 with the new dual recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] iFlasher:
Perfect then!

Thanks for all the info ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] MScorpionZ:
Can work on 77, you must:

1. Flash 77 firmware and get root

2. Flash only stock kernel from 93 firmware

3. Install XZDualRecovery

4. Back stock kernel from 77 firmware
[Sony Cross-Device General] kojikockij:
problem

My phone is Xperia Z1 C6903(14.4.A.0.157 firmware). I have just rooted my phone and installed THIS/THESE RECOVERY... I tried to flash a custom rom([ROM][5.0.2][OFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix® Lollipop v5.3.1 - Honami [15/01/21]) and i got black screen after flashing. (no backlight or sounds). Anybody knows what is my problem? :( Sorry, my english is not too good...
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Is your bootloader unlocked? It should be to flash that or any other rom that uses a custom kernel.

Flashing a stock FTF should revive your device.

Sent from my C6603
[Sony Cross-Device General] kojikockij:
Yes, my bootloader is unlocked. I revived my phone like you said. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Hmm. Which recovery did you use to flash? I think it's recommended to use TWRP to flash Lollipop roms, although I'm not sure if it actually makes a difference.

Sent from my C6603
[Sony Cross-Device General] kojikockij:
problem solved, sorry for disturbing!! :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Glad you sorted it. :)

[Sony Cross-Device General] sxtester:
Your idea is appreciated, yet it won't work that way. There's no known rooting method for .77 FW, only for .93 (and maybe .98).
[Sony Cross-Device General] Peloche:
I root my Z3C on .93 fw but when i try to install DualRecovery i have this message: permission denied <Are you root?>
[Sony Cross-Device General] newk9:
You have to remount /system with rw permissions. "mount -o remount,rw /system" I think. Easy with android terminal app. Do it as root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pw1nce:
guys , why does it take 10 minutes to wipe ''data , system'' ? also ''dalvik , cache'' takes like 5 mins? beofre it would work like a charm n take just few seconds?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Andrey Piekas:
In my Xperia T2 Ultra Dual, I can not touch any option on TWRP.

Model D5322 FW 19.1.1.C.0.56
[Sony Cross-Device General] MScorpionZ:
Main thesis - install XZDualRecovery, but not rooting method for 77

I know that a method works only 23.0.A.2.93/98/105, there was a problem install XZDualRecovery on 77, this instruction is to solve the problem
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I have a deja-vu ...

Can you please boot to TWRP and turn off the screen by pressing the power button just once and brief, then -when the screen turned off- press it once more, try to unlock your device and see if touch response resumes.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Andrey Piekas:
had already tested it, and yet there is no touch response.

only the 2.7.154 version works perfectly for me.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
In that version I had a feature long forgotten by Team Win re-enabled, by hand in my own fork ... will release a version with their renewed version of the fix together with an update for the Z3 and Z3C RIC scripts.

-EDIT-

Noticed TeamWin updated TWRP to 2.8.4.0 in the meantime with some bugfixes to the new MTP features, so I'll include that in the next update.

- EDIT 2 -

Uploading 2.8.1 as we speak, will be up for download in about 10 minutes.

Changelog:

- Added missing Z3/Z3C ROM versions to the disable ric install script

- Hopefully fixed TWRP touch operation on the T2 Ultra

- Updated TWRP to 2.8.4.0.

TWRP Changelog:

What's new in 2.8.4.0:

Add flashing of boot and recovery images via the TWRP GUI (Find the Images button on the Install page)

Fix some MTP related crashes and bugs

Eliminate TWRP toggling USB IDs during boot if MTP is enabled

Fix various adb sideload issues

Improve threading of actions

Eliminate separate thread for screen timeout

Update libblkid to 2.25.0

Use power button as back button on watch themes for easier navigation

Add mutex locking to data manager

Improve custom theme handling on encrypted devices

Allow the stock theme to be offset by build flags so we can center a lower res theme on a higher res screen especially for watches with round screens

Sent from my D5503
[Sony Cross-Device General] TiMiN8R:
Yeah, same on Z3C
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Oh crap :eek:

Dang that, the merge failed and I didn't notice :mad:

I'll re-release 2.8.1 in a few hours... sorry people!
[Sony Cross-Device General] fl4r3:
This worked perfectly for me. Just rooted my Xperia Z3 but had trouble with the XZDualRecovery installer script, but mounting the system manually beforehand worked a treat!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It should actually do that by itself, maybe it would have been nice to send me the installer output to see what/why it failed in the first place...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
XZDR 2.8.1 is online now, this 2.8.1 replaces the failed 2.8.1 release 12h earlier...

Apologies for the fubar'ed release :angel:
[Sony Cross-Device General] fl4r3:
Yeah, thinking about it I should have saved the output... But saw the suggestion in the thread so I thought I'd give it a try.

The problem was reproducible for me as I tried reflashing the firmware a few times and still didn't work, so I may do it again just for you if I have time after work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] KiiKeEp:
Sorry for the question, whats the diference between locked dual recovery and XZDR kernel, I want to keep stock kernel, with recoveries, im UNLOCKED BL.

P.D. i installed 2.8.1 locked dual, and twrp doesn't wipe anything (it reboots)

thanks

edit: It's a Z Ultra, on 2.8.1 nothing works, I installed via PC, recoveries boot, TWRP doesn't wipe or flash anything and philz says it wipe and flash correctly but really doesnt do anything, I went back to previous version and all OK (sorry for my bad english)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The kernel version is a stock kernel, with all protections disabled, if you have an unlocked bootloader, this is the one you want. Mind you, it's still the .108 FW kernel. If the Z Ultra has had an update since 108, I will need the kernel.sin from the new version to re-release it with that kernel.

The locked bootloader version is meant for devices with a... wait for it: LOCKED bootloader :p

Anyway... I didn't change anything in CWM and PhilZ, didn't touch them. The only thing which might be bugged is TWRP... though I do doubt that would be the case for all devices... I did test on the Z, but I'll test it on the Z2 right away... just to verify it...
[Sony Cross-Device General] coolkoushik07:
I found a bug in twrp in my z1c.. when i unlock screen on twrp, the recovery loads from the start...
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
Twrp restarts if brightness, vibration, and screen off sliders are slided. And also when I unlock the screen or try to flash a zip, it restarts. I use ZL.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
How nice ... I have the same behavior on the Z2...
[Sony Cross-Device General] KiiKeEp:
I can upload you the latest .118 kernel.sin image for ZU if you want, the latest update comes with a 9.5mb file named (kernel_S1-SW-LIVE-6732-PID1-0005-MMC.sin) I suppose is that file, if you want it I can upload it :)

-So I flashed your Kernel (last version 2.8.1) and recoveries still don't working, TWRP returns to splash screen when picking ay option, and philz doesn't works too.

thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] AussieCable:
I have the same sort of behavior with latest (2.8.1) on Xperia Z (yuga C6603), but when I go to backup, it just reloads TWRP.

Log files attached.

BTW 2.8.0 worked for me like a charm, everything worked fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Andrey Piekas:
Thank U. Now is functioning normally again here.

EDIT:

Not :/ . Touch Response is working. But now when trying to flash a zip, it restarts the TWRP. When changing any configuration as well.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Consider it a known bug in 2.8.1/TWRP 2.8.4.0 ...

And, please do upload that file somewhere :)

Consider it a known bug in 2.8.1/TWRP 2.8.4.0 ...

That's half a win, at least the first leg of the issue has been solved... the rest:

Consider it a known bug in 2.8.1/TWRP 2.8.4.0 ...

Quoting myself, nice huh? :p

Guys, use 2.8.0 for now, it's clear something broke in 2.8.1/TWRP 2.8.4.0 and I'm all over it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
Lol :p

V2.8.0. gives also strange behaviors on Z2 with 4.4.4 buddy [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

and that is earlier told ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Which is the reason for 2.8.1 to contain a TWRP update ... because of bugs :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
Ahh oke i see and i till then use v2.7 that version is stable enough, wait for your fix bro but further.. good job :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] STR33TPIR8:
If I want to change dualrecovery version (upgrade or downgrade), do I just need to flash it from recovery? (D5803 Locked BL)
[Sony Cross-Device General] danilo_scala:
thanks great work, please friend, i not found version 2.8.1
[Sony Cross-Device General] STR33TPIR8:
It's been pulled. Too buggy. Only 2.8.0.
[Sony Cross-Device General] TiMiN8R:
Yes, you can downgrade by flashing from recovery. In case you have 2.8.1 use PhilZ Touch.

I just downgraded to 2.8.0 that way.

If you're stuck with no r/w access to /system and don't want to go through terminal/adb to remount, use this:

You can also just flash the zip from recovery. Works a treat!
[Sony Cross-Device General] STR33TPIR8:
Thanks man. Just what I needed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
What a bit of housekeeping can do... after some more attempts and a clobber and ccache cleanup, I finally have TWRP 2.8.4.0 behaving and working like normal again ... who would have thought! :eek:

I'll be re-releasing 2.8.1 again sometime soon: the issue is not TWRP itself but my build environment :angel:
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I just installed XZDR 2.8.0 in my Z3 and TWRP cannot mount the external sdcard, PhilZ can mount the external sdcard.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Please give 2.8.1 a try as soon as it's online again and report if it still fails to mount it.

Anyone else having the same issue?

PhilZ also had issues with external sdcard. It mounted but it didn't writes nothing (the backup I made isn't there).
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Thanks, after some checking I realized it's again a vendor specific update, because of that I'm not going to use this kernel for the next release... thanks for the efford, but no thanks: it is only an advance of 10 issues, most probably not even kernel related. You can most likely use the (unchanged) kernel from 108 on your 118 release.

I have tested it on all supported models which I have, they all work.

Which Zip file did you flash?

D/l-ed the file 'SonyRICDefeat-master.zip' -this one?

When you unzip the above file you get a folder 'SonyRICDefeat-master' with this zip-file inside: RICDeat.zip - or did you use this one?

When flashing can I use NDRUtils (in recovery mode)?
[Sony Cross-Device General] STR33TPIR8:
[DEVDB][TWRP][PhilZ Touch][CWM] XZDualRecovery 2.8.1-RELEASE

Just flash ricdefeat.zip from recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
With xzdr 2.8.1 that should no longer be needed :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Norup58:
Ok, thanks.

Just wondering, can you over do it?

Meaning some people suggest flashing RICDefeat, others to install ver 2.8.1, others to use 'mount -o remount,rw /system' and others again the long version 'adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp.....etc.

Like if the first method doesnt work it is ok to continue to next method and so on without creating 'conflicts'?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
AFAIK if you installed XZDR 2.8.0 at first and had that issue, you can install 2.8.1 and be done with it. RICDefeat is simply doing the same as XZDR 2.8.1 and onwards. Doing it by hand is only needed if you have neither installed. Nothing will bite something else though, they are basically the same thing. :)

I am using Z2 Locked Dualrecovery v2.8 installer for installing recovery.

but this error does not allow the installation.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
BlueStacks installed? Pc Companion running? Multiple abd able devices connected?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mehrfar:
thank you

I uninstalled the Bluestavks and recovery installed properly.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Glad you got it fixed :good:

Having BlueStacks installed is no issue by itself, but my installer does not know how to differentiate between an Xperia and BlueStacks... so you have to make sure it's completely turned off/terminated before you run any adb'ed install script.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fladder72:
I have no ADB in Philz recovery (No android device in Windows device manager is shown...) . In CWM and TWRP ADB is working.

Do you have any unknown device in the device manager while connected in PhilZ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fladder72:
There is no device found... unlike the other recoveries.

If I had an unknown device, I would try to install the drivers manualy ;)

On Beta 2.7.156 ADB was working in all recoveries
[Sony Cross-Device General] chinke:
Hi,

@op, thank you for your efforts.

I have z3c with locked bootloader. I've installed 2.8.1 and TWRP can not perform backup, restore and file manager operations. When I swipe to confirm, it returns to main screen in a second.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Please download 2.8.1 again (yes, really: make sure you delete all the other packages you have) and update using PhilZ or by using the installer again.

I have had to re-release 2.8.1 because of TWRP build issues.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It's always funny these things come peeking around the corner when I least expect it... the issue is with PhilZ 6.59.0 it seems... My Z2 (with me right now, just tested it) does exactly the same... nothing reported as connected on any USB port either...

Now to find out why ... hmmmm :eek:

- EDIT -

Anyone with a Z1 and the locked bootloader variant installed: http://nut.xperia-files.com/tmp/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma and push it in to /system/bin replacing the one there. I'm not at home and won't be able to test it until later tonight...

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]:

First of all, a big THANKS for all your efforts. The last incarnation of version 2.8.1 installed flawless on my rooted Z3C! Not sure about PhilZ (don't use it), but TWRP successfully flashed a pre-rooted .77 (via PRFcreator) zip like a breeze; no issues at all, r/w to system. In other words: perfect.

However, I dare to request not to (re-)release versions anymore. Understand that there could be bugs that demand releases to be pulled, but it's generally good practice to increase the version number in the next. Else, and that exactly happened here, people get confused :p

Thanks again!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yeah, I had the same issue on my Z2... it's weird. I'll investigate some more, will get back on this.

No.

I have no idea, ask in the Existenz topic.

I don't know, why did you not provide me with a log?

Thanks, It's odd, you're the first one to complain about it with the 2.8 releases, but it's a known issue on factory exFAT formatted cards which are formatted with an odd result... My guess is that it will probably fix your issue.

Well... seeing as the 2.8.1 release was not downloaded many times since the initial release and nothing else changed, I opted to revoke the release and replace it. Usually I would have increased the version number but as nothing else changed, I didn't see a reason to do so...
[Sony Cross-Device General] NexusGTS:
I dont know how and I dont know what is was but after, whipping the installed rom, cache, system, installing another rom, restoring a backup, whipping again the user data and cache it was ok

My ZR came smoothly from stock rooted JB 4.2.2 (.67 HK) with installation of XZDR 2.8.4 to KitKat 4.4.4 (stock .292 CustomNordic) then re-rooted from 4..4.2 .230 kernel, then back to .292. Great!

I had to re-install via PC as XZDR stopped to react to buttons on startup while was fine from inside by your NDR utils. Should I flash it from recovery, would it make it more persistent after next updating the stock ROM (L via OTA or flashTool)?
