The 3 echoes in adb shell are doing nothing in both TWRP and Philz, but the brightness setting in Philz is working as intended.

(grrrr.... 1971 blah blah blah you can see)
[Sony Cross-Device General] nikc0069:
No matter which buttons I hit on boot or what I set in ndr until I can't seem to enter Philz, only twrp. Think I'm using 147

Chrome shows "Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.150-BETA.installer.zip (24.04MB)" as Malicious... Reason?
[Sony Cross-Device General] anagramgenius:
That's towelroot. Nothing to worry about.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
The unrooted install methods exploit security vulnerabilities and therefore are classed as malicious. Many root tools also flag as malicious by AV software etc.

Technically, this is correct, as the methods used could be used for nefarious purposes, but there's no need to worry in this case.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RedSkyRoad:
Has anyone else's NDR Utils stopped working? Mine crashes the whole time - I use it for rebooting purposes...
[Sony Cross-Device General] JohnKersten:
Have you already deinstall it and reinstall with Google play.?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.51 now uploading.

It should fix the Xperia SP TWRP and the screen off function on the ZL.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RedSkyRoad:
Not Yet... Did not know it was on Google Play... Should I?
[Sony Cross-Device General] JohnKersten:
Give it a try. Maybe first try to clear cache and then reinstall from Google play.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RedSkyRoad:
Only "Disable" available in Play Sore and Settings. Deleted the APK with Root Explorer
[Sony Cross-Device General] JohnKersten:
Or reflash. XZDualRecovery NDR utils is in the package.

But let's see if reinstall from Google play works.

TWRP has a reboot loop. Will post log. It will soft reboot once it wants to go to sleep. The slider kind of works. It stays on 100 but I can successfully set the whole range. Oh and I can't mark individual partitions in wipe I think. And if I open the "log" on the bottom I can't go back. Log: http://pastebin.com/GawTADr9

Philz dim works. PhilZ sleep does not work, the BL stays on.

PhilZ has a too low brightness setting and dim is basically off. Same, although not that extreme in TWRP. I would recommend dim/min to 85/105.

On last v.151 installer, TowelRoot method (3) NOT working

on v.150 same problem

Firmware: .108, fresh install
[Sony Cross-Device General] onkarsingh_pardeshi:
.151 has a reboot loop...keyboard doesn't seem to work while renaming file when taking backup...kind of hangs while taking backup
[Sony Cross-Device General] Albert Poon:
Can you be a bit more informative? Like including what device you are using? It will be hard for the developers to track back what went wrong if you just say its not working...
[Sony Cross-Device General] brockyneo:
hi guys just installed 314 and installed latest recovery but TWRP doesnt seem to let me select anything to flash it lets me reboot ect but wont let me flash or choose anything

ive managed to install rom from cwm but i like twrp

does anyone know whats the problem

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] sdeft:
You fixed it quicker than I was able to re-test!. Well done. No more freezes after installing 151. However I can't get adb to work again. What has changed since 128 with regard to adb and why the change ? adb was fine in 128.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
There's a new driver. Just connect your phone in recovery and go to device manager. You will see an unknown devices, right-click and click install driver. Select the folder you extracted from XZDR-adbdriver.zip ( http://nut.xperia-files.com/ )
[Sony Cross-Device General] sdeft:
The problem is that I do not see an unknown device!

Actually 151 still has problems. No freezes but keyboard doesn't seem to work. I got some errors regarding backlight when i tried to wipe data. Also after a while the screen started changing between teamwin logo and teamwin menus continuously.
[Sony Cross-Device General] onkarsingh_pardeshi:
i was talking about XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.151-BETA.flashable.zip.. I was trying to take backup of my nandroid but it didnt completed and it got into a reboot loop. before that when I tried to rename the backup file name the keyboard didnt work and the options in backup mode were freezing..means when i tick the kernel, data or cache for backup it took around 2-3 seconds to get checked in the checkbox..i think you got what I meant..hope it helps
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
For the Xperia SP the accelerometer and gyroscope needed to be blacklisted... it's what I forgot to add again while rebasing on the latest TWRP sources... That was an easy fix ;)

I have brought all recoveries to use one single device ID and one single manufacturer ID, it makes it MUCH easier to work with recovery updates for me. It might change back again in the future though. The (windows) installer has a new menu option, which should allow you to install the driver with ease. Make sure you have connected your device in one of the recoveries and DO NOT have it on the 'adb sideload' feature otherwise it will surely fail.

If everything fails: USB Deview, run as administrator and remove all installed drivers for the 0FCE vendor. This will require you to reinstall all drivers for sony devices but it will clear any driver issues too.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Thanks, the next version should work as intended then.

The date is not a surprise, just ignore that. These nodes and mounts are done well before time gets corrected... But does recovery show you the correct time and date now?
[Sony Cross-Device General] brockyneo:
Any ideas guys

Thanks again :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It has nothing to do with 314, but everything with 150/151... I have it working fine here...
[Sony Cross-Device General] JohnKersten:
I confirm the problem as described above, same problem.
[Sony Cross-Device General] alunel:
Hi,

I try to use XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.151-BETA.installer.zip, but a path error appear (screen copy join).

It seem to be after line:

%CHOICE% /c:!menu_choices! %CHOICE_TEXT_PARAM% "Please choose install action."

Can you halp me?

Regard's
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.152 RC 4 now available.

- It should fix all remaining TWRP issues :fingers-crossed:

- It fixes installer issues (like the one above) where the menu doesn't work as intended

- It now uses ERT v11 binaries to install on unrooted devices, it should now also install OK on Z2's .314 FW version. It still DOES NOT ROOT: it will install recovery only!

This release includes a version of

XZDualRecovery for the Xperia T2 Ultra,

(The T2U-* files!)

please test and report any issues!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] JohnKersten:
No issues with keyboard TWRP anymore ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
People downloading this release for the Tablet Z and Xperia ZL:

I'm sorry to inform you that I bunked this release, I'm rebuilding TWRP for your devices right now, 2.7.152 will get a revision soon...

Please RE-DOWNLOAD 2.7.152 in about 45 minutes, I will be updating THIS post to update you when I am done!

Status: Done! Please re-download now!
[Sony Cross-Device General] alunel:
Thanks, but the problem with path is not solved (I'm under W XP):
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
First of all: I would consider updating your windows version... You are using a ticking time bomb now that Microsoft quit support for it.

Second: I have no clue why it fails for you... The only error I could find was the position of the 'cd files' line because it expects the choice binaries to be inside the folder 'files\tools'...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Chena_22:
just installed this,and so far nothing bad...:D
[Sony Cross-Device General] f2:
I had the same error as alunel had before. And when I try to launch .152 I get another very weird error message:

Not supported 16 Bit software​

The software open though but I can not select anything.

I'm running Win 8.1 64bit in German.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.7.153 RC 5 now available.

It should fix an issue with TWRP on the T2 Ultra only.

It has a fix which I hope will enable the trouble free use of the installer on more Windows versions.

Nothing else changed :)

Thanks to all for the success and bug reports so far, they are still very much appreciated!

Trouble with recovery

Having trouble trying to get this recovery to work. I unzipped the zip and run the bat file but it just says waiting for device, enter usb now. My Xperia z is rooted with a locked bootloader. I have downloaded the fastboot drivers and have pc companion installed. It reads my xperia z straight way. I have usb debugging connected. I previuously had adb drivers too. Am I missing something, do you just attach the xperia z while it is powered on?

normally I have no issues installing roms/recovery on my old htc one x through fastboot but im struggling here. i have a rom on my sd card waiting to be run :). Any help appreciated.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Unlock/activate your z, make sure you have USB Debugging enabled and disconnect the USB lead. Then start the installer and connect your USB lead when it is waiting for your device. Accept the Pc on the Z and it will continue :good:

Xperia T (lt30a)

Hi [NUT].

First I want to thank you for your hard word on XZdualrecovery.... well, XT, since I own a Xperia T (lt30a)... I must say I tried every beta release since 2.7.94 and the .152 you released yesterday was indeed the first and only version that worked flawlessly for me, without random reboots in all 3 cwms, so I am very happy with v.2.7.152... However, when I tried v. .153 this morning, TWRP suddenly shut down screen while restoring a backup, semi-bricking the phone until I flashed a .ftf firmware again and went back to XT-lockeddualrecovery2.7.152-BETA.... just wanted to report this fact... Keep up the great work!

--------------

Forget I said anything .... a little touch of your remountrebootfix.zip seems to have solved the thing.... XT-lockeddualrecovery2.7.153-BETA works great.... have a nice day!
[Sony Cross-Device General] tommyforest123:
Thanks for that. It worked that time cheers

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Sorry NUT, one final question. The installer recognized my device and installed the recoveries, I got the enjoy the recoveries at the end message. The problem is the XZ wont boot into recovery when I turn the device on and rapidly press the vol up. Same with vol down. I'm running KK 4.4.2. Any ideas....
[Sony Cross-Device General] Albert Poon:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I am now on 153 and the brightness slider in TWRP is still doing nothing.

A little thing to confirm, SGP311 is indeed exactly the same as SGP312, as I flashed both devices with the same FTF and all good.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You have to wait for the green led, on kk that will happen during the black screen between the sony logo and the xperia logo. You will feel your device vibrate twice to notify you its time to make a choice.

You can also look for NDRutils in the app drawer and use that to reboot to any recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
What the frack? Does the screen blank function work now?

Can you boot to TWRP, play with the slider and then adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and attach it here? I'm going mental over the TabZ ... :eek: :silly:
[Sony Cross-Device General] tommyforest123:
I dont get any led light when phone boots up. I downloaded that app from the market. It says that "Unable to read XZDR.prop, Just puzzled after it looked like it was successfully installed when ran the bat on the pc. Tried to do it again and it installs the recovreries again and says enjoy etc
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you please retry the installation with the unrooted menu option?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tommyforest123:
Can you please clarify this. I'm not too sure what you mean here. I appreciate all the help
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If the installation does not show you what version of XZDR it's installing, the installation failed... This can be due to a bad root of your device.

Option 3 in the installer does an installation of XZDR on unrooted devices, it will work regardless of root being done properly or not.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tommyforest123:
Im not sure what you mean option 3 in the installer? I donated a few dollars for your troubles thanks..
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eh... thanks ;)

When you start the installer, does it let you make a choice? What version did you download?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tommyforest123:
Finally got it working : ). thanks again. I originally had no option at the start from the previous installion I downloaded. I downloaded it again XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.153-BETA.installer.zip (24.17MB) and got the option select at the start. Recoveries installed
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Great, thanks again for the donation, enjoy the recoveries :good:

Installed the latest .314 fw on Z2 and the latest dualrecovery

Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.153-BETA.flashable.zip (7.76MB)

Everything is otherwise ok but I cant mount system RW. So maybe the recovery doesnt disable the ric services? Have to poke some more if I can disable it manually. Or did I do something wrong in the flashing? SuperSU is working ok.

edit. ran rootkitxperia and after that atleast for the next reboot system is able mount RW, so the ric is disabled.

Hi [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] ~ pm'd you about an unsupported Xperia device :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Erh ... that's confusing ... if the screen timeout is working, that means the brightness control is working, very odd.

I'll try to grab my Tablet Z from the girlfriend (who claimed it as a daily browsing device, lol :D) and figure out a way to fix it... really confusing, to say the least.
[Sony Cross-Device General] adam1liukuro:
Does this recovery works for the new Z2A D6563?

[Sony Cross-Device General] AngelBob:
Work on fixes updates starts again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gandalf_grey91:
Thanks for the great dual (triple?) recovery. Previous version (123) worked great with 757 fw (z1 / c6903).

Have updated to 108 fw and have tried new version of XZDR (153) which is causing problems. The installer version will not install it under Win XP. It shows error message with choice.exe and choice64.exe then runs through script before user is able to choose correct option. The script says it was installed but the device doesn't reboot. Had to try the flashable version of 153 in CWM which appears to have installed correctly but after running deodex patch I now have twice the number of apps taking up twice the space on the internal memory. Seems like something that script was expecting to find wasn't there. Its quite a mess at this point.

I don't know what to do next.

" BETA Change log:

BETA releases will only appear on http://nut.xperia-files.com and the DevDB thread and as soon as enough people report it to be working fine will it move in to the Q&A thread as a RELEASE version.

Version 2.7.101

1. there is much confusion in this.

i saw in installation instruction like download the beta version from http://nut.xperia-files.com/

then i downloaded XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.153-BETA.installer.zip (24.17MB).

now it is marked as a BETA. so it strongly indicates that there may be bugs and there is a clear instruction written with block letters like it shows unexpected behaviour.

now i dont know the link to final version or stable version. and in install instruction there is only link to BETA version. i cant find other stable or final versions in http://nut.xperia-files.com.

:confused: :confused:

any idea?? should i proceed with beta version or is there any final version marked anywhere.. if yes please give me a link.

2. in installation instructions dev said

" Your phone WILL reboot when installation has completed and it will go into the default recovery for the first boot.

Reboot to system from recovery to allow the installer to clean up after installation (it is safe to skip this step).

Enjoy DUAL RECOVERY! "

after first reboot if it is not safe to reboot to system recovery? then what do i do? simply just watch over it to reboot or should i manually reboot to system(android os)??

Iam completely noob with xperia z. please answer my Questions.

Thank you very much for proving recovery for locked bootloader.

Thank you!!!

Unable to Restore Data

I'm having an issue restoring my backups made using the Philz Touch recovery.

Facing issues such as

Error while restoring /data

I: cant partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
XZDR 2.7.154 will be online shortly!

- It should now fix the TWRP brightness issues on the Tablet Z (it did on mine!)

- The installer has a new menu structure, which should work fool proof on any windows version.

- The automated driver installation on Windows failed, so I changed that to a small guide on how to do it.

This is

154 is working fine on Z2 Tablet but on Z1c there is one problem:

when doing a backup with TWRP, the screen is locked and switched off after some time. So far normal, but then TWRP does not switch on the display/backlight when you push the power button. But when you swipe the display at the known location, TWRP unlocks and display/backlight is switched on again.

Can anybody else confirm that for Z1c?
