Good day. I have been reading for hours trying to figure out what this type of file "Z1C-XZDRKernel" is used for. I have already installed the installer and understand what the "flashable" file is. But what is the kernel file for? I am on a locked stock Sony z1 compact with 4.4.4. Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] speculatrix:
I'm sorry if this was posted already, I just downloaded and used ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer to root my XZU running 14.4.A.0.118, and it worked but I saw the following error.

thanks for using towelzxperia

XZDualRecovery does NOT install any superuser app!!

Hello [NUT]! I recently made ​​a port firmware Google Play Edition Z Ultra 4.4.4 KTU84P on Xperia Z Ultra (6833, 6802) with a closed bootloader. Member of this firmware is very necessary to fully working XZDualRecovery.

In ramdisk Google Play Edition no RIC! :)

And when command "Reboot to recovery" smartphone loaded with partition fotakernel. :crying:

Help us fix it. Link to the core Google Play Edition: Link to the firmware (see post 2): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2800414

Link to the kernel: http://goo.gl/TydyDL

I hope for your help.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The kernel version is for unlocked bootloader of course. It's there as a service for now, it has a kernel for the latest available firmware.

The kernel 'version' will eventually be replaced with something else... But that is still a surprise to come :)

Are you installing using Linux? Thanks for the report!

I saw your previous posts on the subject... The problem is that I lack the time to investigate the ramdisk.

If it uses the fota kernel partition as 'recovery' partition, then you will be out of luck unless you manage to patch the reboot function to give out the right signals...

For these things I really need the device in hand to properly debug the bootstrap and other issues...
[Sony Cross-Device General] scrubber:
Booting into recovery works when acquired key vol down and it works well! :D

I think for the first you need to remove the script rickiller.:confused:

And try to fix bin/reboot.:good:

If you need the logs, I am ready to help you in this difficult task !!!!

[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
FOTAKernel? :cowboy:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
Xperia Recovery Manager + Philz-Touch FOTAKernel images already exist for unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Cross-Device General] scrubber:
I have port GPE XZU locked bootloader :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] speculatrix:
yes, I was using the linux script. worked exactly as I hoped, after install dropped me into touch recovery and was able to install supersu package.
[Sony Cross-Device General] umrico:
Thank you for your help!
[Sony Cross-Device General] RedSkyRoad:
I still have to run it twice each time before it takes. The first time it stops at "cleaning up stage" and only the second run, it goes to completion...
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
It's really hard to debug this issue, since it never happened to me nor [NUT].
[Sony Cross-Device General] Albert Poon:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I am again away from home and without PC access until 9 Aug. I don't dare to try the flashable zip and so it could take me next week in order to test...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Seeing the lack of bug reports I'd say it's quite safe.

You can of course download the flashable package, extract and manually push the twrp ramdisk in to place to just test that :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] dre1187:
hey all,

my current setup is: Stock Sony Xperia Z with 4.4.2/10.5.A.0.230 with locked bootloader. It has been rooted with towelroot and SuperSu installed as system app and have downloaded XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.installer.zip

I just wanted to confirm a few things before I brick the device:

-do I need to unroot before flashing this? I assume no ...

-Is it still necessary to reflash the XZ-recovery after every ROM flash?

Thx in advance!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
- No need to unroot, on the contrary: you need root to install :p

- Depends on the ROM and your bootloader really. If the ROM has a built in recovery, then no, otherwise yes. If you have an unlocked bootloader you can also use XZDRKernel for the XZ, which will integrate the recoveries in the ramdisk.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dre1187:
Haha yes that's what I thought when I read through the scripts :) unlocking isnt an option unfortunately stupid carrier lock. I'm wanting to flash omni so will have to check that out to see if they replace when flashing...

Thanks again for the quick response!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Albert Poon:
Alright. Flashed the 154 flashable and it is bug free now for TWRP! Unless I could dig up something else hehehe
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well... actually: I hope you can, because I would like to fix that if it's there ;)

Glad the last known bug has been fixed at last :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Faelz:
Never did that.

The last time i flashed a custom kernel, the TWRP started seeing the files again after lots of reboots (power+volup for 15 sec)

If i'm correct when i flash the custom kernel i loose the dual recovery and the phone use the one in the custom kernel right?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, they will work in tandem, you'll have the kernel's recovery notification first and then the one by XZDualRecovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Faelz:
oh i see.

and when the recovery messes up my internal memory? something can be done to fix ir? reboots i think isnt very safe :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] Michealtbh:
Anyone tried this with the 4.2.2 leak yet?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well, it doesn't hurt but your phone might go

like "wtf bro! STOP THAT!" :p

Maybe you should try to contact Team Win on this matter, you are not the first one to have this problem but not everyone has it...

I'm not sure dude, why don't you just try it? :cool:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Faelz:
hahahaha.

i tought of that, but the problem also happens in CWM, so i think i always making something wrong :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm, no, I am guessing something is wrong with the ext4 FS on the media partition, or with the flash memory holding it...

You could try to do a e2fsck on the partition and see? (/data/media is the actual location, it's part of the userdata partition!).

In twrp you can do this:

Boot in to TWRP, go Advanced, Commandline, type mount and execute.

It should pop up a list with mounted partitions. Note the partition mounted on /data and go back to main menu.

Unmount userdata.

Go back to Advanced -> Commandline and type e2fsck -nycf /dev/path/to/actual/partition and see if it says it did something (it actually does not, thats where the n is for in the options!)

If it says it should fix or did 'fix' something, you can rerun it with e2fsck -pcf /dev/path/to/actual/partition and do it for real.

Then reboot and try to look for files in your internal storage again.

Let me know the result :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Faelz:
will try as soon as i get gome. thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] xarive:
doesn't work to boot into twrp. tried many times. install via window using .bat not working. thus, try to install using zip and no luck.

[Sony Cross-Device General] timchew:
Hi nut. Just to confirm, I'm on v2.3. I just need to flash dual recovery updates instead of dual recovery v2.4? Ok to just flash v2.4 over v2.3?

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Logs... Can't help you otherwise...

it does, I've used it ever since I released the update package, so: logs!

You are correct sir. Flash the updater to update. But if you are using 2.3 and it's working fine there is no real reason to update to 2.4... Only one Xperia Z model added and a little bug in the debugging department...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You can use XZDualRecovery, but there is a catch: I'm not yet able to get the keypress info so you need to use a workaround.

Install XZDualRecovery. Create the default file in the XZDualRecovery folder and put in 'twrp'. Then every time you wish to boot to TWRP recovery, put a file inside the XZDualRecovery folder called 'boot'. Not in /cache/recovery! That will make you go to CWM.

I'm working on a definitive fix though...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[XZDualRecovery] Version 2.5 BETA released!

[MENTION=3195539]Michealtbh[/MENTION]

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 2.5:

exFAT Support added, it will load the kernel modules prior to mounting the SDCard1.

Simplified keychecking and in the process made it work on DooMLoRD's leaked 4.2.2 release: Needs testing!

Should work OK now for the ZL 4.2.2 ROM's: Needs testing!

Should now also work on the Tablet Z: Needs testing!

Let me know either way: working or non-working!
[Sony Cross-Device General] lancebuks:
I don't think it's working - tried with my phone and it boot loops with purple LED over and over. I couldn't get in to recovery so I had to use Flashtool. I have a nandroid so I ain't too worried. :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Check 2 things before your next attempt:

Is chargemon.stock larger then 8kb?

Look inside /system/lib/modules and tell me how your modules are called, the one's i used are called nls_utf8.ko and texfat.ko.

-- EDIT--

Oh wow, my title changed :victory: :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] lancebuks:
Before I waste your time I just want to confirm if this recovery will work for 4.1.2 or if this is a BETA made specifically for the leaked 4.2.2? I don't want to give you wrong info before I proceed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, this is an exfat release :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] lancebuks:
It's a rainy Sunday and I've nothing better to do. I'll try over again
[Sony Cross-Device General] Albert Poon:
Now this one I am not so sure its a bug. As I have other devices also running TWRP, after screen timeout and they will go black, I can wake them up with a single touch, however, I must use the power button for the TabZ.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That doesn't work on most sony devices. It will only respond to touch as soon as the kernel/device has support for touch 2 wake. (Z2 and newer)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Albert Poon:
Alright, I'll try harder...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Wiltron:
Hey NUT

Any chance we can see a fix for the XZDR "Zero MB Backed Up" bug?

I'm on the latest recovery 2.7.154, on your ROM running with 14.4.A.0.108

See attached for screenshot of what I'm talking about.

The backup itself is not 0MB, both on the card and when I restore the backup as well - this is just a display/calculation error. The second screenshot shows the BACKUP folder on my SD Card. There's only one backup in that backup folder.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Shivatink:

Hi,

I just installed twrp 2.7.1.0 on my Xperia SP using the installation script from SP forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649923) (I extracted the twrp.cpio from 254 version and put it in this install script)

It seems to be working but I didn't test every functionalities.

Just wanted to report some errors that appears when doing a backup (see attached log)

Thanks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cr0wnest:
How come I only can boot into TWRP after flashing? I've already tried both the vol up and down buttons but it always takes me to TWRP. And I also never got to see any green LED
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
What model?

Which version?

What ROM?

Tried the app to reboot to anything else?

Where is the installation LOG?

Why are you (and many others!!1) not giving anything useful to go by while reporting bugs?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cr0wnest:
Flashed it on my Xperia Z2 D6503 with I think RomAur 3.7 which is based on 17.1.1.A.0.438, I was messing around with the phone yesterday so I cant remember 100% but im pretty sure it was RomAur 3.7. Now I'm back to the stock 17.1.2.A.0.314 which I flashed via flashtool.

I tried it, it gives error on 4.4.4 unlocked bootloader

is there any solution for it? :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Without the device, firmware version and the error message, then there's no solution.

You need to provide at least basic information.

My phone is Xperia Z1, I am on 108 build 4.4.4 with unlocked bootloader

and here is the error

Did you fully extract the archive before running the tool? Extract it to a directory of your choice, then run it without moving / modifying anything.

Thank you!

TWRP/BACKUPS/something/
[Sony Cross-Device General] D F:
Oh, thanks. I had no idea it saves it in internal memory.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, it does that by default, but you can change that to external sdcard, when starting to backup you can tap the storage location at the top of the screen to change to location to save it to.
[Sony Cross-Device General] D F:
Wonderful! I will do that!
[Sony Cross-Device General] moses_dx:

MOD EDIT: Please dont quote the OP
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Dude... Please remove the OP quote from your post...

The installer package can be tagged as malicious by chrome or anti virus tools because of the rooting tool included... Use a different browser or disable your anti virus toolkit for a few minutes while downloading and installing.

Rooted with towelroot

Hi [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION],

I´ve just rooted my ZL with the latest FW .238 4.4.4 with Towelroot and I have a doubt of how I can install XDUALRECOVERY using this method. When I run the bat file, there is a option that says "INSTALLATION ON UNROOTED ROM USING TOWELROOT METHOD..."

Is this the option I must choose?

My doubt is because the option says UNROOTED ROM...

I previously used this method sucessfully but I then rooted with SU.

Thanks for help!
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
You can't root 'with SU'. SU is the program that gives you root access and SuperSU handles the access. If you used towelroot (and verified with root checker app) then you obviously use 'Installation on rooted rom'.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
towelroot doesn't work on 4.4.4. It's patched.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lozohcum:
No problem, catch - http://d-h.st/3St
[Sony Cross-Device General] lclaudiogb:
Dude, I know that SU does not root any root and it just males root work.

What I meant was that after I rooted 4.4,2 using some method, SU was installed by the toolkit.

Now I rooted 4.4.4 using Towelroot and then installed SU from Play Store.

On Nut's XDUALRECOVERY installed, if you read the options, it asks you to choose Luke this:

1-INSTALLATION ON ROM ROOTED WITH ( NOT BY ) SU

2-INSTALLATION ON ROM ROOTED WITH ( NOT BY ) SUPERUSER

3-INSTALLATION ON UNROOTED ROM WITH TOWELROOT METHOD

And other 2 otions.

Then my doubt, if I use number 1 or 3, but the termo UNROITED ROM WITH TOWELROOT is what I didn't understand.

Hey guys I have a little problem.

The phones doesnt want to enter into recovery for some reason. When I try to enter to any recovery the phone just reboots and starts normally. It was working fine up until today.

Also I can't use Flashtool as well which is very weird and when I go into fastboot mode the LED goes blue instead of red.

The Flashtool recognizes my device but doesn't wanna start flashing. Not really sure if the recovery is the reason.

I'm on C5302, any idea what my be the problem?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Connect your device in flashmode, like Flashtool is asking you to do. Hold Volume - and connect the USB, not volume + which is fastboot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eSu.Matix:
I

I'm a ****ing dumbass and I love you!

[Sony Cross-Device General] eSu.Matix:
Btw, will reflashing the ROM, will reflash the recovery as well?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
If you flash a stock rom with Flashtool, then recovery will be lost and will need installing again.
