I have the same issue as post #624 (though on stable 2.6.3). On the automatic reboot after installation (completion of Stage 3) phone hangs after the Sony logo with a blank screen for up to an hour. Have to use power up and start button to switch off completely to then manually reboot, I cannot then enter CWM but TWRP seems to work OK. No buttons at all pressed whilst I wait for the first automatic reboot.

UPDATE same problem as previously though. I can flash a zip successfully, but I am asked to wipe cache and delvik cache after installation, and when I do so and reboot then the Xperia Z gets into a bootloop between the Sony and Xperia screens and will not load. I can only re-enter TWRP recovery, and installation of my backup makes no difference. Help. I know I can use SUS to reflash but what else . . .
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mitsuya Cider:
NUT! This beta release works perfect on my C6603 on .244!

I have it rooted, locked BL, and C6506 BASEBAND.
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
Can I install from pc installer just over the last one?.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I have no idea why CWM started doing that... Some people have it but most do not... From what I gather its CWM which fails to start, but as the logs remain empty there is no way to see why...

Consider the fact that flashing any mod or Rom can cause this, please try some other mod to confirm this behavior. You could try to do a factory reset, just to see if your problems with the boot go away...

Yes, that's no problem. You can also flash the update zip in recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mitsuya Cider:
Yes the PC installer works perfectly.

[XZDualRecovery] Version 2.7.9 BETA released!

BETA Change log:

BETA releases will only appear on http://www.fun-industries.nl/xda/ and as soon as enough people report it to be working fine will it move in to the OP as a RELEASE version.

Version 2.7.9:

After quite some debugging, I've finally found the way to eliminate the need for a specialized driver. Now the ADB Sideload and general ADB functionality will work with the latest flashtool drivers (thread, release post) maintained by [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]! The link here is a mirror I've set up for DooMLoRD with his permission.

As an added bonus, it is now possible to mount the SD card as mass storage device (in CWM Advanced only) on your PC (Thanks go to [MENTION=3662018]Tamirwig[/MENTION] for the discovery that it works, my focus was on the above, i totally missed it!)

Please do test and confirm what I think I fixed!

WARNING!!

If you run in to the same problem me and [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] encountered while debugging and testing this issue, you can observe your PC having problems connecting the phone by USB while in recovery. The issue involves connecting and disconnecting repeatedly, because windows really does not have a clue what to do. Disconnect your USB cable and use the following guide to fix this issue:

Follow this link: USBDeview;

Download the one right for your system;

Unpack the tool and run it by right clicking it and running it as administrator;

Look for ALL devices from VendorID:

0FCE

and ProductID:

6182

and

6193

and select them all;

Right click one of them and choose to 'Uninstall selected devices';

Reinstall the flashtool drivers for the Z (if you have Flashtool installed, it has them for the Z already in X:\Flashtool\drivers, where X is the drive you installed it on);

Reconnect your phone, the windows PC should now recognize your Z in recovery and install the correct driver for it to work.

Enjoy! :victory:
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Adb in recovery and sideload confirmed working out the box with [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]'s new Flashtool drivers - no issues. Latest beta dual recovery works as it should.

Running Windows 7 x64.

Many thanks to [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] and [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]. :)

Edit: Anyone else tried with a different OS?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Cookie Ninja:
I've tried on Win7 64bit, worked beautifully on .my old 6602, but somehow, cwm doesn't run on my replacement 6603s (first DOA, second current device)....all from the same PC....:o

Dead Cookies leave mo trails...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Ok, now that ADB is at least working, we can FINALLY try to rectify this issue :good:

I'll get a test version online which mounts /system during boot and keeps it mounted while starting recovery, so we can use logcat to monitor the boot process. In the mean time, can you try to boot in to CWM and connect USB and try to do an adb shell to the phone?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tamirwig:
Not only adb sideload works, but USB mounting of the external SD card as well.

This is a major breakthrough. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Yes indeed it is! Didn't see that coming :silly: Who can we thank for that? (Apart from [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] for bringing it all together)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tamirwig:
Doomlord, Sony, Google, flying sphagetti monster. ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
My goal was to get ADB to fly and to get USB to install with the correct drivers... but this is something i was meaning to fix also... i was so focussed on the ADB issues i never attempted the mass storage mount... but its a nice bonus :D

So, i have to update my changelog :cool:
[Sony Cross-Device General] kashppo:
Any chance of making an .Apk installer for this? I keep losing this recovery after flashing mods... (red light at boot) The only way to install it again at the moment is to connect it to the computer.

Can it be done?

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eh, i've put the flashable version online for this purpose, flash that after flashing mods/roms/whatever to restore recovery.

An apk installer might be something of the future, but i'm no JAVA dev, so i'll be needing help with that from someone else (who i have found, but he's quite busy!).
[Sony Cross-Device General] kashppo:
I see! That's fine then. Thanks a lot for the quick reply! =)

[Sony Cross-Device General] :
Yeah, no problem when using internal storage. Do we really need high speed cards? The microSD that became read only was UHS-1 and the "new" one is a prehistoric card with no speed rating, does it matter? I'm gonna get a 16gb card to resume flashing and testing things...
[Sony Cross-Device General] mati865:
That's funny. We found out it independently, it took me a while to post it because of dying motherboard (R.I.P.). I'll do some tests when new motherboard arrive.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
IMHO, high speed microSD is needed if you write 4K video from camera to it or have another bandwidth need tasks/apps, otherwise you don't need the highest rated speed (=the most expernsive) one. Check your prehistoric sd file system for errors and reformat it on your device if possible.
[Sony Cross-Device General] VeEuzUKY:
Ive installed CM12.1 on my Sony Z Ultra. CM 12.1 has its own recovery but is very limited and I cant to backups or restores.. basically useless. So of course the next step is to flash XZDualRecovery 2.8.21.zip

But the flash immediately fails with the message "footer is wrong / signature verification failed". Any idea why this happens or what to do?

Thanks much for the feedback.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Extract the boot.img from the zip and fastboot flash it of course...
[Sony Cross-Device General] VeEuzUKY:
You mean after rebuilding the kernel to include recovery.. OK let me try it. Thanks much:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sebi673:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

[beta update] After flashing another customization of the stock 5.11 on XZ I lost system r/w and it asked for "apply root" in cwm (XZDR 2.8.21) . But last time I "applied root" it bricked my phone. So I installed the latest beta 2.8.22 and cwm wasn't loading - only twrp. Now I found the post with the modified 2.8.21 which once reinstalled works fine. :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] jazzfrequency:
I think that only twrp is capable to apply root correct after flashing a new rom (zip) with xzdr.

So..and in my opinion would probably in future to have one and good recovery like twrp.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Wolfbreak:
Sent you a PM.

[Sony Cross-Device General] VeEuzUKY:
I am stuck..

I downgraded my CM 12.1 ROM for my Z Ultra to CM 11 because I have endless problems with Wifi. I installed Dual-Recovery perfectly by building the Kernel and flashing boot.img with fastboot.

I did a full wipe and flashed CM11, my wifi problems all solved. I also built the Dual-Recovery from the CM11 Kernel and flashed it properly. BUT, I dont have a recovery anymore! I tried both my own kernel and also an existing kernel on NUT's database that is exact match for my ROM. The phone will vibrate correctly and I get the LED, but after pressing Volume Up or Down, I either get stuck on the Sony logo or just a black screen and that's it.

I am doing everything correctly step-by-step as I did before for the CM 12.1 ROM where recovery worked perfectly. But this time, not. What am I doing wrong and how to get the recovery back to working state with this ROM?

I really dont understand this one..:(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Delete the xzdr.prop file from the xzdualrecovery folder and reboot, if that doesn't fix it, I'll have to see what I can do to detect CM11 or CM12, because they differ in the way they include recovery...
[Sony Cross-Device General] VeEuzUKY:
Yes, definitely didn't work. Same issue. And the xzdr.prop after deleted (and log files) are automatically re-created again into the folder upon reboot.

However, I do have access to CWM v6.0.5.1 (Volume up or down) before the vibration sequence.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Then I'm afraid you really did not flash the kernel...
[Sony Cross-Device General] redlabour:
Hi,

this is the first Time i get into this trouble.

TWRP tells me at any prerooted 23.4.A.1.232 *.zip that the partition Table is updated after 2 secs but nothing else happens.

Same Problem on Z3 and Z3compact. Both Bootloader UL, SuperSU 2.49 and XZDualRecovery 2.8.21.

Tried several prerooted 23.4.A.1.232 Versions for now.

On my Z2 Tablet Wifi with the same configuration the update runs without any Problem.

Anyone else?
[Sony Cross-Device General] casouzaj:
I have just flashed the Customized BR 23.4.A.1.232 build, pre-rooted by PRFCreator v1.1, including the beta SuperSu v2.51, the beta XZDualRecovery v2.8.22, and the newly released Xposed framework v75 into my Z3C, through TWRP, and everything is up and running!
[Sony Cross-Device General] artpra:
NUT,

Xperia Z (C6603) running rooted 10.7.A.0.222, used 2.8.22 installer and all went smoothly - all works.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I have updated the XZDR 2.8.22 BETA packages once more, hopefully for the last time.

This time I updated busybox to the latest version, which is bionic aware (which means it works best on Android, including the networking tools like ping, traceroute and others). Changing to this busybox version also required a few changes to the chargemon and dualrecovery scripts as some applets now do the same stuff in a different way...

Please give it a try and let me know :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Nuts i'm flashing the 2.8.22 ontop of 2.8.21 on my z1 stock deodex 368 and its gd up and running
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fladder72:
Strange... After Installing on C6903 via recovery, no booting in to recovery is possible. After booting system I've got an error message: "SD-card is damaged, please format..."

Going back to 2.8.21 via installer it worked like before, no damaged SD-Card...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes, McBane87 and me are on it, he discovered the same bug.

edit:

I've closed the BETA folder for now, until we resolve this bug.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
BETA now re-opened for business, fixing a dumb typo... :silly:
[Sony Cross-Device General] ahmed dzico:
Available for Sony C ???
[Sony Cross-Device General] v7:
No!See the supported devices list in the OP.

Tapped from my ❶+❷ ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ahmed dzico:
I want to flash custom recovery, do you know any recovery for this phone ???
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Updated the BETA files again. Again the included busybox got updated and because of this update I also updated the scripts to reflect this update.

EVERYONE: Please test this version now, it is deemed 'stable' and is the RELEASE candidate.

If you have any previous version of XZDR (including old 2.8.22 versions), flash the XZDR-removaltool.zip in TWRP first (re-download it if you already have it, it has been updated as well). This zip will completely remove XZDualRecovery, but leaves the wp_mod and byeselinux modules in place and does not affect root itself.

The installer will install without issues, so don't worry. You can also simply flash the latest version right after flashing XZDR-removaltool.zip to reinstall XZDR.

These steps are required if you want old files to be cleaned when updating to 2.8.22.

If no more issues are found, this will be the version to be released as the official 2.8.22 RELEASE version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] casouzaj:
As per your instructions, I downloaded again and flashed the removal tool, prior to flashing the also re-downloaded v2.8.22 xzdualrecovery to my Z3C, but I am only able to enter TWRP, and it works. If I try Philz (vol-+ key) instead, the led flashes in violet, but the phone is stuck in the Sony logo.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fladder72:
Same on my C6903. TWRP works, Philz recovery didn't start...

T2 Ultra recovery works fine for M2 but I don't know is it safe to use it ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] aidy.lucas:
Been using it myself since 5.1 was released for the m2. Not the perfect solution but the only way to get recovery on LB and the NDR util app from the playstore both seem to work fine made and restored back ups successfully with both recoveries apart from philz being sized for the t2u screen rather than the m2, but still all the buttons are accessible. Had no problems so far at all

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I honestly have no clue why cwm and philz fail... Between the last 22 and this it started bugging and I cant find why just yet. I never changed them ever since they got released for the first time... :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I refreshed the source packages, downloading fresh ones built by [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] a long time ago, this at least fixed it for my Z, so I'm jumping the gun and releasing a new 2.8.22 based on these packages.

It will be online as soon as the popup says they are.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sbm1976:
Download and installed latest beta .22 , now TWRP and Philz are working very well , but CWM failed

If select in NDR to use CWM and then reboot to recovery , after sony logo there is nothing on the screen only black screen , no led , no vibration,

I am using installer version on XZR 5.1.1
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I think the same thing what happened (what ever it was) to philz happened to cwm, I'm actually tempted to not fix that...
[Sony Cross-Device General] hzmenxd:
my sd card dont work on latest version. its 64gb class 10
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
don't work where? On the moon? In your pc? in which recovery? In your device globally?

It is good you try to report an issue, but sheez... include MORE DATA.

I have NO CLUE what to fix right now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] hzmenxd:
ops sorry u alright. On TWRP, it appear like my sd card have 0mb and i cant flash, backup, restore.. i guess its due to dual recovery because if i delete it and use a kernel to get recovery it works, aswell as if i use old dual recovery so i dunno :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Okay... but... what kernel are you using? And why do you use a locked bootloader package on a clearly unlocked bootloader?

Are you using a custom ROM based on CM or AOSP? Or are you still running a stock sony ROM?
[Sony Cross-Device General] hzmenxd:
It's so weird... im with Xperia Z2, MX 7.5 ROM (sony stock based) with androplus v67 permissive kernel, which let me use my SD card, but when i go back to stock kernel and i put dual recovery my SD card dont work (only on recovery) :/

Both with TWRP 2.8.7.0

EDIT: not working on TWRP, philz or CWM. on philz i got "unable to mount sdcard1" and when i try to mount it "mount error"
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If you know what stock kernel fits your rom, make sure you use that kernel from my kernel builder. If it doesn't exist you can upload the boot.img or the kernel.sin to repack it:

http://nut.xperia-files.com/?a=xzdr

Then see if it works or not.
[Sony Cross-Device General] nilezon:
Thank you! Will you add Z5 and Z5C to the list?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Z3+/Z4 and Z5 series (and possibly all 2015 models) have dm-verity set up in the kernel, which there is no known way to turn it off other then to really compile a new custom kernel. Repacking them on the fly will not be possible until someone brighter then me finds a way to turn off dm-verity...
[Sony Cross-Device General] eagle25884:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

2.8.22 works without any Problems. Installed/flashed over previous 2.8.21. Using Xposed and Gravity Box, there were no Problems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
You can turn off dm-verity by editing the fstab. That should be possible by repacking or am I wrong?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, yes... Why didn't I ever think of that? :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] hzmenxd:
Okay.. i don't knowwhy but when I delete Dualrecovery my WIFI stops working (dont even turn ON) and if I use it I can't flash androplus kernel or use my SD card on recovery :/

I just tried doing fresh install with full wipes 2 times, using your kernel builder.. everything.. i don't know where is the error

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

oh sorry, I just found it's a androplus problem, he need to fix it. I'm moving to androplus kernel but anyways can't find solution for SD card (maybe another people have the same issue in a future)

[Sony Cross-Device General] OrBy:
Flashed newest .22 beta on my locked Z3C on 23.0.1.A.5.77 SuperSU 2.49.

TWRP and Philz work fine but CWM just black screens.

I also noticed that BusyBox reverted back to 1.22.1. I seemed to have it working with 1.23.2 for a bit on one of the betas but don't know if I should try updating it again. I had to use the installer this time due to it not booting to recovery anymore likely due to my playing with updated BustBox's.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well, 2.8.22 actually exists solely to allow you to use busybox updater apps.

Give it a try. It should work and keep working.
[Sony Cross-Device General] OrBy:
Yup updated it and yes it seems to still work!
[Sony Cross-Device General] :No-Frost::
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] Just found something that might be important.

I'm using SD Maid everytime in a while to clean my system from garbage and I've noticed that everytime I use it, it deleted some folders and/or files from Dual Recovery needed to work properly.

I've reinstalled the recovery and run a full scan in each of the options available at SD Maid and excluded everything that has something to do with XZDualRecovery and I haven't experienced any issues so far.

I doubt this is the same issue I get every time I flash a new updated rom (I have to flash the rom, boot the system, flash recovery again, then flash SuperSU, then go back to system and activate SD Write with the SD Fixer on Playstore), but doing this (excluding the files from SD Maid) has helped me to keep the recovery working with no issues at all so far.

Does the installer here install recovery on my device?

If no,what should i do to have recovery and root?

Thank u
[Sony Cross-Device General] yoh_anim:
The installer will install recovery IF you already are rooted.

The rooting feature included only works for old 4.3 roms.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Almost 100% correct: it will work up until certain 4.4.2 roms.
[Sony Cross-Device General] a2zonlyt:
i have to pop this code line by line or by sequence?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Sebi673:
line by line :)

or you could use the fixed 2.8.21 made by an user which works just fine. Personally I had some issues with the beta so i'm sticking to the fix for now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Both of you, stop this. The 2.8.21 has already been fixed for the issue that McBane87 found. If you still have problems (which should not be possible!), install the 2.8.22 BETA.
[Sony Cross-Device General] a2zonlyt:
i have installed dual recovery, how can i nstall beta version?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Fladder72:
Maybe the same way you installed 2.8.21? There is a flashable zip and a Windows installer on Nuts site...

2.8.22 BETA has been updated again.

If there are no issues to be found, this will be released as the really final RELEASE version this weekend.

CWM has been refreshed, I hope it will now allow it to function again.

I've changed from Towelroot to rootkitXperia for the unrooted option, it should be able to install on all KitKat and certain Lollipop 5.0.2 ROM's.
