I did delete de file from recovery (I can actually get into recovery, just not into the os), will try also wiping cache

Nexus 7 - Tapatalk

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Tried wiping dalvik and cache and deleting the whole folder, still same issue, green led, yellow led, quick green led loop.

Why would the ram disk be the issue if it still happens in the old recovery (albeit, in a different way)

Nexus 7 - Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
From recovery remove /system/bin/ramdisk.stock.cpio.lzma and try to boot...
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
Without that, there is no yellow led, but still, quick green led loop. (already tried wiping caches and removing the prop file).

Am I alone on this? .66 is fine for the rest?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Rosi Labres:
Hi, CWM stopped working (Red led) in version 2.7.66. TWRP is normal. I used the ZL-lockeddualrecovery2.7.66-BETA.flashable.zip file.

Then removed and installed using dual-ZL-locked recovery2.7.66 BETA.installer.zip, and the problem is still in CWM, TWRP works normally.

EDIT: Deleted XZDR.prop, problem solved. CWM and TWRP working.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Just a hunch: rename /system/bin/chargemon.stock to chargemon.off and try to boot again...
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
I finally decided to reflash romaur and go back to the old recovery.

But the I changed my mind and flashed the new one after the rom flash (which wipes the system partition).

Now it works, green, then yellow, then boots.

Do we have full root now? That part eluded me before

Please test this one: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WjEtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjY4LUJFVEEuZmxhc2hhYmxl

2.7.68, it should work ok now ... if you want to test it: install android terminal and start it, then type:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system

Then put the output here if there is any.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
It did not work:

Mount: operation not permited

I tried with solid Explorer to write to system and it also failed.

I don't think you have root access. You need to install root

Now I'm all fresh out of ideas...

Can you post your logs from the XZDualRecovery folder please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, that's a message which you get with root too, it's a new protection from sony on the Z1 and ZU system and rootfs on the JB 4.3 ROM's...

I think i know what was bugging me...

http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WjEtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjcwLUJFVEEuZmxhc2hhYmxl

2.7.70 :eek:

If this one does not work, i have one last thing to try...

-- EDIT --

Confirmed working :victory:
[Sony Cross-Device General] jagdesh:
Time and date was incorrect for me as well.

Going to try the latest one now
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm... as long as the date is close to the real date I won't consider it a bug, if it's 1970 in the recovery, then it really is.

Its odd though... maybe my timezone code is only working on my phone :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.70 BETA released!

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 2.7.70:

Small issue resolved with the XZDR.prop generation.

Updated the RIC killer, it now successfully prevents Z1 and ZU on the 14.2.A.0.290 ROM from setting up the kernel based system and rootfs protection :victory:

If you run in to a bootloop while updating, make sure you delete XZDR.prop from your XZDualRecovery folder. If you don't have an external sdcard, and you still are able to enter recovery, wipe cache. If that does not work: take any FTF for your device and use that to wipe only the cache.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
yay xD

Now we have full root, and the terminal command is just a test, right? (no need to manually remount?)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
that is just a test yes, it was the easiest way to know if it works or not ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] GROGG88:
01/02/2009 is listed for backups and props.... It's pretty far off.
[Sony Cross-Device General] CiscoX:
I also have the same when i use CWM. But TWRP is more correct, 1 hour + some few minutes different. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Great Job [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] , how much left to buy your Z1?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'll need about 450 euro for a secondhand model.... The counter has stuck to 233 sofar...

:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] GROGG88:
Twrp is showing 01/01/1980 for me...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Right, now that is too far off to not consider a bug indeed, it also helps to know which recovery you are bugreporting for (cwm/philz).

I'll see what I can do to fix that.

Euh... okay :D

That's odd at best... I'll see if I can get you a special version to debug it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
What are the implications of encrypting my phone and sd card, it could cause problems to backup, restore or mount sd card?

I'm asking this because my company changed it's security policies and now I can only access my corporative email if I encrypt my phone (before only PIN/password lock was necessary, but one employee lost his phone and some sensitive data was stolen).
[Sony Cross-Device General] zOOOOmer:
Got some issues while installing process.

Z1 with 4.3 f/w, having partial root, using Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.70-BETA.installer.zip

It looks like installer can't mount mount system as r/w even after I granted root to ADB shell as was mentioned in instructions. Are there any solutions for this?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
You can't install this way, you need install using recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zOOOOmer:
I don't have any, that's why I'm trying to install it, lol.

So, title of the thread is misleading and I can't install this recovery with locked bootloader?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sg1969:
I know there are xposed modules that can disable the security requirements for exchange, although they are for AOSP it might work? maybe worth a try.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
You can, but not while being in 4.3 with no recovery sadly.

Enviado desde mi C6903 mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, it's correct but the only exception is JB4.3 roms on the Z1 and ZU... It will become true again once there is a rootkit for these roms again...
[Sony Cross-Device General] GROGG88:
That would be philz.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zOOOOmer:
Okay, thank you.

So, basically, I can't achieve combination of stock ROM+custom recovery on 4.3 f\w and locked bootloader?

Because iirc OTA won't work with custom recovery installed and PC Companion wipes root (and possibly custom recovery too) while doing upgrade. Or am I missing something?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
I was on .257 (rooted) and what i did was:

1) flash a 4.3 rom (NUT's stock, romaur, other)

2) without rebooting, reflash recovery

3) power off

4) flash the provided stipped FTF

5) Profit

I kept a .257 nandroid for my app's data, but after flashing 4.3 i never again had IMEI on lower than 4.3 roms :P

You can't get pure stock 4.3 with root and recovery (i don't even know how you got semi-rooted on a stock rom on 4.3).
[Sony Cross-Device General] zOOOOmer:
4.3 OTA still keeps root if you had it on 4.2.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
And you didn't have recovery when you updated I guess?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zOOOOmer:
yep, full stock
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Then you are out of luck for now...

eventhough you have root, its a semi root because you can't edit system or rootfs.

You have an option to use my update-to package though... but I still need to figure out what is causing the bootloops when you don't wipe everything...

The alternative is to use BackupTA and unlock your bootloader after making a backup... but that will also wipe data and internal storage :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] zOOOOmer:
Yeah, that sucks. Btw, does relocking wipe the device again?

Let's think about scenario like this: unlock->flash kernel with ric_disabled(do I need custom recovery for this? I'm not sure if Flashtool will work too)->install xposed and adaway(I don't need anything else)->flash stock kernel from ftf->relock with restoring TA. Will it work?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, re-locking the device does not wipe it again.

If you use a kernel with recovery from the root on 4.3 discussion thread you can then flash this recovery to keep full root after re-locking.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
so is there anyway to get full root on 290 ROMs without unlocking the BL? how about installing this REC on fully rooted 257 and OTA to 290? must i unlock first and relock then to get root?

[Sony Cross-Device General] jagdesh:
Hey Nut,

I have flashed your latest recovery version 70 and all went well u guess but after flashing I have lost CWM Philz recovery.

I mean when I press down or up volume I always go to TWRP recovery only.

I am on Ihackers 2.0 with LB
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
I donated to you more $18, should be at least 10 euro... You really deserve it.

Come on guys, he did all of this without a Z1, imagine what he can do for Z1 community if he buy a Z1.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ChillyChan:
I tried the Z Ultra v2.7.71 beta and Philz still doesn't see my external SD. Is it the same for you Z1 guys too? Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
^^ thought so.. (also ZU) I reported it a few betas ago but it was dismissed as fixed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jagdesh:
Just flashed the new version 71 and still I only get TWRP recovery when I press up or down volume.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, I never dismissed it as fixed... But I'm actually extremely confused on that problem, I'll try to fix it (again).

I will try to find out what might be causing this... Can you try the app by AngelBob to enter any other recovery? Your problem might be related to the change which required the new app...
[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
(sorta dismissed :P http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48709956)

^^ thx, don't get me wrong, I was just trying to help confirm what chillychan reported and wasn't saying "I told you so" (in case there was any ambiguity in my post) - thanks again for your ongoing support of the ZU :thumbup:
[Sony Cross-Device General] jagdesh:
I tried your app which I downloaded from the app store

I will try the other users app but I tried searching for it could not find it. Is it possible to direct me to that app by angel bob

Edit : I tried your app again and I confirm I have successfully booted into Philz recovery from there and also my external sd card is now being detected on Philz recovery and TWRP recovery.

Thanks so much for all your help.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
The plot thickens.. NDRutils successfully boots me into all 3 recoveries, but only twrp and cwm know I have an ext sd (philz still no ext sd, nor can mount one which I also checked) - so sry, can't replicate [MENTION=2057493]jagdesh[/MENTION] result :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Don't worry, I'll still have a long hard look at it :silly:

See why I get confused by this? ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
^^ without the benefit of having 6 or 7 test devices either.. I built one zu rom and soft bricked a few dozen devices so I can only imagine the head scratching and stress this "hobby" (lol) must cause you. Thx again

(and I just double checked, yes I'm on latest beta 71 so not testing old versions :))
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yah... Headache's keep away luckily, just a bald spot from all the head scratching over these kinds of issues :silly:

I'll send you a PM. I will need some people on both JB 4.2 and JB 4.3 roms or the willingness to switch between them to be able to properly debug this, I'm assuming it might be kernel related...

To anyone else:

PLEASE DO REPORT EVERYTHING YOU FIND OUT OF THE ORDINARY, EVEN IF IT'S ONLY A MINOR INCONVENIENCE!!

And people, remember the golden rule:

until I announce a release here

, consider any newer package as 'alpha' build with possible unexpected results when installing or using.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AngelBob:
The reason your only getting twrp when pressing up or down now is that DOWN will always boot twrp

UP boot's what is configured in the XZDR.prop, which i suspect is configured to twrp too.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eeps... :eek: unexpected consequence i guess... we will need to rethink that strategy my friend :cowboy:
[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
I'm glad installed a copy of NDR Utils before it "disappeared" from the play store ;), it works perfectly!

(anyone say "titanium" lol)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Dissapeared?? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camber.ndrutils

It should still show? :eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] iBuzman:
Weird.. It's disappeared from any search and this appears when following link:

(don’t tell me I'm the only one who always tries vol-up-power first.. :silly: )

Strange because I was compatible when I installed it - and that's my 5 star review (in screenshot) suggesting you add z ultra to compatibility :)

I haven't done anything since (that I know of) that should cause this (no build prop, dpi changes etc)

Weird... A post just before mine couldn't find it either.

Edit: found and compatible when identified as 6802 instead of 6833 :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] ChillyChan:
I can beta test for you!
[Sony Cross-Device General] zOOOOmer:
That part about flashing stock kernel - do I just get ftf, exclude everything in Flashtool and flash it?

PS I'm extremely sorry for going offtopic here.
[Sony Cross-Device General] frantic912:
any idea how to get stock recovery, not XZDualRecovery after flash this...?
[Sony Cross-Device General] CiscoX:
Hi.

Read the first post :)

How to revert back to original single recovery:

This recovery MOD leaves your original recovery.tar in place.

You can overwrite the chargemon executable in /system/bin/ from this MOD with your backup made earlier and change its permissions to 755 (-rwxr-x-r-x).

You can then remove /system/bin/dualrecovery.sh (if it is there), /system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar), /system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma and /system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar) and reboot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
By the way... on Sony and SE devices, there is NO SUCH THING as 'stock' recovery ...
[Sony Cross-Device General] CiscoX:
@[NUT]

I can't upgrade from v.2.7.63 Beta to v.2.7.71 Beta. I used the XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.71-BETA.flashable.zip and install it from CWM after that i couldn't access any recovery. My device boot up normaly, vibrates and green led light, but i can't access any recovery, then led turn red and the device continue boot up.

I also tried to remove dualrecovery to make a new clean install of XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.71-BETA.installer.zip but that didn't help, no access to recovery. So i removed XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.71-BETA on device and installed XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.63-BETA.installer.zip and no problem, now i can access the recoveries :)

Any idea how to fix this?

I follow this:

How to remove:

Delete the following files:

/system/bin/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma (or .tar)

/system/bin/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma (or .tar)

/system/bin/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma

/system/bin/charger

/system/bin/ric

/system/bin/chargemon

/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh

Then inside */system/bin/ rename chargemon.stock to chargemon check its permissions (should be 755 or otherwise visible as -rwxr-x-r-x). Done!
[Sony Cross-Device General] frantic912:
tq....i try flash this update 1st

[Sony Cross-Device General] zyclops1:
i removed the recovery renamed cahrgemon.stock to > chargemon and set permission to rwxr-xr-x is this ok or im wrong??
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eh, if you do that, you will lose recovery and control over your system mountability, don't forget that!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tungstwenty:
How about checking if both VolDown and VolUp were pressed during the 2s pause - would that be technically feasible, considering the way you're reading the input device(s)? That could be a way to have 3 different user selections - Just down = 1, just up = 2, down+up or up+down = 3

[Sony Cross-Device General] Just2Cause:
Installed v2.7.70 and now I'm stuck in a bootloop with my Z1!

Sometimes boots, and then restarts and goes in a bootloop in about 30 seconds from booting, and sometimes it boots and stays on.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That is probably because you forgot to remove the XZDR.prop file...

Try to remove it from recovery (TWRP -> advanced -> FileManager -> /external_sd/XZDualRecovery/XZDR.prop and tap delete, swipe to confirm).
[Sony Cross-Device General] Just2Cause:
Thanks, worked like a charm!

Edit: now it boots up, but after about 10 minutes it just restarts itself and get a bootloop again, so I have to delete XZDR.prop again every time....
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
Integrated 2.7.63-BETA XZDualRecovery in flashable .zip according to guide, firmware .569.

Updated all files from recovery .zip under system/bin to updater/system/bin exсept ramdisk.stock.cpio.lzma (it is missing in recovery zip).

The led is red while booting and doesn't change color while pressing VOL+ or Vol- :confused:

What can be the source of problem? System itself boots normally. And it is "floating bug" cause some people report that it enters recovery ok, other that not. Maybe depends on ROM we're updating from.
[Sony Cross-Device General] PiereMallao:
does the recovery work with 4.1.2 stock on xtz wifi-only with root and unlocked bootloader?

i tried it, but can't boot into recovery. as i used 4.2.2 stock i could flash this recovery - at this time the bootloader was locked, but after unlocking the recovery still worked.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jafferman:
When I try to do this, it says SU not found.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Just2Cause:
No, but you must have root. There's no particular android version you must have, but you must have root. If you don't have root, simply downgrade top 4.2 (534) root and then follow the instructions.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DIXES:
Maybe this is the reason why I couldn't use exFAT formatted SD Card to backup in TWRP.

If the backup name contains two space, like "2014-01-01 14.2.A.0.290 Backup", it will failed.

But when I delete the 2nd space, the name became "2014-01-01 14.2.A.0.290", it will be ok.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, that could very well be the reason why it fails... I'll look in to it, if it's a limitation on exFAT, I will be able to find something on that :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:

[Sony Cross-Device General] SwiftSmoke:
I can confirm here using Tabz with dual recovery 2.7.71 CWM shows time as being 18:44(its 22:23) and when I did a backup it dated it as 1970 0_0 :/ exact backup name is 1970-08-14.19.08.30_10.3.1.C.0.136/

Edit:-TWRP also sees wrong time and date, when set to proper time zone its still at 13:10(its 22:41) also default backup name is 2009-01-02--13-05-51 (firmware version is correct)
