For the brave: http://nut.xperia-files.com/

2.7.10 includes PhilZ Touch Recovery.

It has the touch bug as well... so don't expect it to work better then the CM version :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] YudiA1:
Link broken bro. Wanna try 2.7.10.

waiting for more great job from u [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]
[Sony Cross-Device General] kamalmawa:
Everything seems to be working fine here on Locked Bootloader except for the touch screen bug as you mentioned.. Really love the PhlizTouch.. Used it on S3 ;)..

Use the QR code...
[Sony Cross-Device General] YudiA1:
thanks bro. QR Worked:D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Fixed the issues... moved to a new URL, so that broke the download page...
[Sony Cross-Device General] YudiA1:
CWM work fine here. bug only touch button :D

btw. great job bro. i like new colour on CWM. :thumbup:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tamirwig:
Looks much nicer than the old CWM interface. Unfortunately the touch doesn't work (As you already said), and the additional features (AROMA file manager etc...) are also not included yet. But it's pretty nice. :good::highfive:

I wonder why the clock is set 3 hours back (I'm on DST in GMT+2 which is basically GMT+3. Maybe the clock is set to UTC/GMT?)

EDIT: After some exploring, I found out that most of the features are indeed implemented. And the time is just a setting (was indeed set to UTC).

AROMA File manager requires a specific zip file though, that's why it doesn't work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] vodanhdaisu:
dear NUT

http://www.fun-industries.nl/files/lockeddualrecovery2.6.3-RELEASE.windows.zip is down

please fix download link
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yeah, I've moved my files to a different domain, I still need to redo all the links. To download now visit the link in my signature, the files are there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] vodanhdaisu:
Many thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] vodanhdaisu:
Sorry for noob question. After having Dual-Recovery, how can I enter flashmode to flash *.ftf file via flashtool ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
The same way that you enter it if you haven't installed the dual recovery....

Power off your phone, then connect the USB cable to your phone and PC while holding volume down.

This should be of help to you -

How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
[Sony Cross-Device General] vodanhdaisu:
Thank you. I did not know it :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tamirwig:
Btw, if you need fastboot by any chance, you have a "reboot to bootloader" option under advanced menu in CWM (CWM advanced, meaning XZ Dual recovery 2.6.3.0 and up)
[Sony Cross-Device General] LitoNi:
got a question, sorry if this was mentioned before...

this doesnt support 64GB micro sd cards? i cannot mount it. I tried everything, well most of it. lol

i did not switch to any roms, was working with a 32GB then switched over to 64GB TWRP and CWM does not recognize and cannot mount with it. Other apps are running fine with it, camera, albums etc...

Thanks in advance !
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I have no idea, i don't have a 64Gb SDCard to test with... what FS has your sdcard been formatted with?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kris555777:
and that's why i ask [NUT]for details
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It should not matter, but you can clean up the old version using the Removaltool right before flashing the update, but it's not mandatory.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well... yet again, I salute you for your help and vigilance:

I've modified my sources now, I am repacking 2.8.23 as we speak. I'll update this post once the online version has been updated.

EDIT:

The files on my website have been updated now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Very good work [MENTION=4688377]russel5[/MENTION] ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
Superb work, thanks! :)

3 things I've noticed:

1. CMW is removed, ndr utils should probably get updated accordingly? (Still shows cwm as an "set primary recovery" alternative

2. Is philz actually THE preferred recovery (vs TWRP) among people out there? I don't believe it is, so may I vote for TWRP being the "out of the box" stock primary recovery? Eventually, during boot: vol up = philz and vol down = twrp (If it ain't like that already)

3. Kernel builder still uses .21. Would it benefit in any way to use .23 for the kernel builder too? :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] kris555777:
thank you for clearly answer.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
1: The source for NDRUtils is somehow missing, we won't be updating that app anymore unfortunately...

2: The default is TWRP, what the community preferred recovery is? I have no clue. I prefer TWRP myself :) What you propose has been like that from the first release: https://github.com/xNUTx/XZDualRecovery/blob/2.8-RELEASE/src/dualrecovery.sh#L239-L249

3: The recoveries did not change, so there is no urgency to update the kernel builder (yet). I will update it in the future.
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
Okay, thanks :)

Every time I've installed dual recovery, default one is PhilZ. Maybe sumtn wrong with z1c package, my phone or something.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, that should not be tue:

https://github.com/xNUTx/XZDualRecovery/blob/2.8-RELEASE/src/chargemon.sh#L465-L491

This is the bit that recreates the default XZDR.prop file if it goes missing... twrp has always been the default ever since philz broke down a while back.
[Sony Cross-Device General] o-l-a-v:
Flashed removal zip. Then 23 release. Then powerd on my phone, vol down on vibrate: TWRP. All good :)

Guess I did something wrong. Thanks again [NUT]!

[Sony Cross-Device General] titanium_gld:
I'm glad 2.8.23-RELEASE.combined works now in my T2 Ultra 5.1.1.:good: Thank you [NUT] :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] kal27:
why does dual recovery causes unreadable internal storage on some 5.1.1 roms?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Unreadable in the rom or recovery?

When it's only recovery, then it's 99% of the time exfat related...

Some manufacturers deploy a non-standard exfat filesystem. The origin is in the way this got kicked on the market by Microsoft. They started using it as the 'fix all, end all' solutions to their FAT32 issues and as a counterpart for NTFS which had to be lighter then that filesystem... But the standard for exfat was not finalised at that point...

We are reaping the fruits of their pushy release of exfat... The driver the recoveries use is made to work perfectly with the 'official' exfat only. This is why the non-standard exfat sdcards can fail...
[Sony Cross-Device General] kal27:
oh wait, sorry i didn't make my statement clear. when i flash roms with dual recovery in it i got the 0 folders in internal storage. but its fine when just the twrp recovery. btw the rom are 5.1 and 4.4.4
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Oh that, it's because I try to keep the recoveries compatible with both that they sometimes work a bit funky.

2.9 should make it a lot easier to perfect that by being able to provide a correctly configured recovery for the rom it is meant to work with...

Between jellybean and kitkat the same issues exist... Not much to be done as long as Google keeps changing stuff around... And it WILL happen again with marshmallow...
[Sony Cross-Device General] DastanShaikh:
Hello NUT..

I have a /system mount problem in the recovery...nothing flashes..not even backup made...

And i have to mount /system via terminal in recovery before making any flash or backup... Then it works.....

version 22 and i already tried previous version.... And 23 doesn't install on my device

[ On 5.1 stock ]

[Xperia Z]
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Wth... That should work fine since 2.8.22 :o

You do try to install 23 on a rooted 5.1 I hope?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DastanShaikh:
I tried 23 but it doesn't install....

In log it says - not found..... Etc etc...
[Sony Cross-Device General] harley1rocker:
Im gettn sorta kinda the same issue. Im running scrubbs rom 5.1.1... The rom comes with twrp and cwm baked in.

I flash removal tool the flash nuts combined v23... It wont stick. No errors either. Its sayn it installed fine....hummmmm what am i missing? Scrubbs rom is stock based. I dam near dont wanna run any rom with out nuts awesome duel sh!ts. So wat am i missing

Should i clean flash then before 1st boot,flash nuts recovery???
[Sony Cross-Device General] kal27:
so where's the bug then? in the recoveries [twrp and philz/cwm]? or in the combination of those [dualrecovery]?

btw thanks for the responds.

XZDualRecovery 2.8.23 RC Updated!

[Moved to new post]

Updated the XZDR-removaltool.zip as well, as I discovered it was not removing the NDRUtils app on Lollipop ROM's.

I hope a lot of people will try this version of XZDualRecovery 2.8.23 as I expect it to be working fine, I tested it on my Z, Z1, Z2 and could honestly not find any issues any more, rooted or unrooted (when using a correct ROM).
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
I'm on .21. is it safe to use the removal tool and then install .23?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zohaib0001:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Please make this recovery for Z5 also
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
But Z5 can't be rooted without unlocking bootloader, right? Or do you want dual recovery on UB?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DKYP:
Problem here!!

Today I tried backing up my phone using TWRP recovery.

Everything went fine but when during backup total size of my backup showed as 4530mb. But after backup it says 4513mb of data is backed up.:rolleyes:

Is this OK? Can I restore without problems?:confused:

I have attached screenshot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
As long as you do not omit the md5 checking (just for safeties sake), that shouldn't be a problem.

There can be symlinks which the size count might count as full (original, target) size, while the backup process does this a little differently.

I would notify Team Win on this though, it's a cosmetic thing AFAIK.
[Sony Cross-Device General] roytam1:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] is that known?

23.1.B.1.213 is 5.0.2, Xperia A4 is Z3C brother machine targeting Japanese-only market.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, I think that should work fine. Just delete xzdr.prop and reboot...
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
can we install over .21 or must be removed first?

Just to report, v.21 succesfuly installed dual recovery on my XZ 5.1.1. V.23 all options fail, reporting lolipop isnt yet in plan or something and cmd closed. V21 option 1. was ok. First I did kingroot 4.6 and supersu me.

After installing eXistenZ Premium do I need install again dual recovery. It is stated that if installing stock rom i need to flash again in order to retain recovery...AFTER installing rom and booting in rom, now i flash again dual recovery (before reboting)?

Yes... Download it again and it will work fine...

That's the bug I fixed :silly:

Do you have any work on XZDR for kernel 3.10? I've tried to add recovery to kernel 3.10 by kernel builder but I can't boot into recovery (didn't have green LED on and vibration on Sony AOSP kernel) and black screen on Omni kernel (have green LED and vibration).
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes and no, Yes I have been working on AOSP/MM support and No I have not yet fixed it.

Just hang in there... I'll get it sorted, eventually :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] mlesic:
TWRP works for me without flashing again. So procedure for my Stock XZ 5.1.1 LockedBootloader was Update again with pccompanion (so can make ftf if want), ROOT (Kingroot 4.6+SuperSu), Install XZ DualRecovery from windows, Flash eXistenZ Premium from twrp recovery+update. Rebot few times retain dual recovery. Maybe existenz put there XZDualRecovery?

What are my options with kernel? What kernels are compatible?

hi

when we can build XZDualRecovery 2.8.23 with Kernel Builder?

is the patch for v2.8.21 integrated in the Kernel Builder build packages?
[Sony Cross-Device General] spam.anonym:
hey

im very very sorry but it seems i created some corrupted packages for some ROMs. they are now in the "Kernel Builder DB"

-.-"

i created the last 14 entrys, from "PAC_HONAMI_LP-MR1. OFFICIAL_20151110" to "FXP_M_151019" ...

i created them with the boot.img from the unziped ROMs, but it seems that was the wrong way -.-"
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, there is no difference between the recoveries in them both. That's why I kept the kernel builder at 2.8.21.

Hmm, actually, that is how it should work...

Can you zip all the rom kernels (name them recognizable) and attach that pack here?
[Sony Cross-Device General] spam.anonym:
it looks like a "doubleboot". first, it boots into the first screen (black background, Sony-Logo at mid, Xperia-Logo at bot) and i can go into your recovery, if i will start into system another bootscreen apears with just the Sony-Logo in the middle, after that it jumps into the "old" recovery from custom-rom, or it starts all from beginning.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Do they ALL do the exact same thing or is there any difference between the various kernels?

Lost root, recoveries and the will to live!!

Hi NUT,

I recently updated my Z3 D6603 LB with a pre-rooted NCB .264, all went well except for some apps that crashed, so I re-flashed the zip file through PhilZ this morning, unfortunately as I was exiting to reboot system I answered NO to the root question and now I've lost root access, I can't enter the recoveries and I can't put the phone in flash mode (it just locks up every time and I need to use hard reset to restart it):crying:.

Is there some way I can rectify this issue? I've searched all manner of forums about similar issues, but none seem to have any answers.

Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Licaon_Kter:
Redo the root steps: http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056 ( TL;DR on how to root: downgrade to KK, giefroot, XZDR, and then you can update to this pre-rooted LL .264 ) but USE TWRP ONLY.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Hairy Highlander:
Unfortunately that won't work as I can't access flash mode, it's blocked in some way (the phone needs a hard reset after trying) so I can't roll back to the. 93 firmware.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Licaon_Kter:
I'm not sure, but you can't brake Flashmode. Screenshot/log with Flashtool in Flashmode failing pls.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I have to agree.

Flashmode is a bootloader function. The rom/root/recovery can not influence that.

When turned off, hold the volume rocker and while holding it connect the usb lead to the phone, while it is connected to a Pc with flashtool ready to go. Don't press power, just let the usb port wake the device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Hairy Highlander:
Here is a screen dump from Flash Tool in Flash mode (Note all drivers were installed and working until the "incident"), and logs and prop file from XZDR folder on my SD card.

I've done as you say above on numerous occasions and each time the phone locks up and Flash Tool can't identify it, so I have to do a hard reset (3 vibrations) to restart the phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Licaon_Kter:
An you agreed upon the dialog to connect, right?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
Earlier, i also thought, that not working Flashmode is impossible untill i i've seen several devices (TabZ and smartphones of Z series), which had Flashmode not working at all (all drivers and tools were installed and up to date).

After small investigation (checked /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name vs what was in stock firmware), i found, that /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 was different in size (smaller) and i presume damaged.

I typed in terminal:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/s1sbl2

to save this file from another device and then restored it by typing

dd if=your_path of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

so s1sbl2 file was restored and Flashmode successfully worked again.

So now, i store this files for my devices as a backup, just to be on the safe side.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
On my z2 it's called dbi (the by-name) for mmcblk0p4, how is yours called? (I only have sb1sbl, on mmcblk0p3 and no secondary one)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
It depends on device. On Xperia Z/TabZ file s1sbl2 is in /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/
