[Sony Cross-Device General] aliakbar.mirzaee:
hi NUT.i flashed v2.7.83 on my personalized rom as your DIY guide (android 4.3,LB) via older version of XZDualRecovery.but after flash,i'm stuck at sony logo.reflashed 4.2.2,rooted and installed recovery and reflashed my personalized rom,and then i had an older version of XZDualRecovery again...and then reflashed v2.7.83 and...again in bootloop...

What's the problem?:eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
Hi NUT,

I have problem with XZDualRecovery 2.7.83 when backup using PhilZ Touch after backup finish or not and reboot the phone , the phone will see that there are 9 sd card all of then the same size card and it’s not responding.

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] bro...

Is there a way to install on new ZL 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 fw?

Thanks...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Nope, but I will be doing a update-to package soon, I have to wait for the first .101 FTF for the Z to arrive though, don't want to release something I can not test... I've tried doing that for the Z1 and it forced me to buy one FAST...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, you don't have to do anything in recovery, just boot to it, connect usb lead and then on the PC open a command window and navigate your way to the files directory.

There you can type 'adb shell' and it should connect to your tablet and show you a prompt. If it doesn't, try to find out if the 'composite adb' driver has been installed correctly for the phone.

Yah, [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] said it already, I made a little mistake on the latest installer install.bat. I'll be releasing an update today, which should fix that.

Though, on a different note to ALL: if you have ANY issue, make sure you don't just say what you did, but also provide me with as much information as you can!! (like copy&pasting the contents of the command window when installation fails!!)

Well, it might be that you had a version with the stock ramdisk bug. Remove your XZDR.prop file before you try to update XZDualRecovery, that will probably fix the bootloop.

9 cards!? LOL, that's more funny then it probably should :p

Anyway... what size card? What filesystem? It matters.
[Sony Cross-Device General] serajr:
Thanks bro!

Take your time...

2.7.83 does not work on SGP311 (Tablet Z), but 2.7.81 does :)

Hi guys,

first of all THANKS!!!

I tried TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.83-BETA.installer on my TabletZ Wifi but there was no effect on device, no expected reboot, however files were copied to device, I suppose some small error in script.

After that I tried TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.81-BETA.installer and after that I could say "et voila":good:

it worked like a charm. so as many of happy user of TWRP or CWM Recovery - first of all -> full back up :laugh:

[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.85 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 2.7.85:

A batch 'whoops' in .83 caused it to not be able to install using option '1' in the revised menu :o

XZDR 2.7.84 introduced the disableric patch for the Xperia Z1 Compact only.

Remaining issues to be solved:

PhilZ mount USB feature isn't working correctly... it seems I've mixed up the USB product id's on the Z1 and Z Ultra releases;

Creating a backup of SD-EXT partitions is still not possible.

This should sort out the installation issues using the installer package.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
The card size is 64gb and when this happen all of them are 64gb. rebooting doesn’t solve it I have to re-flash the zip file ( I am using your rom you mad for XZU 14.2.A.1.136). It is happen for me three times after backup with 2.7.83 BETA but not with 2.7.80 BETA which was included in you rom
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Which actually deepens the mystery...

Is this with PhilZ Touch or twrp?

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you remove the XZDR.prop from the external sdcard? My guess is that it failed to adjust the settings inside it with the new ones...
[Sony Cross-Device General] microsd16:
No this does not help ....... as my device still does not reboot on completion of process as it used to happen with previous version of ur release

Btw i did not lose my previous recovery :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:confused:

Can you please do an installation and cut and paste the contents of the installer window here? If you used the flashable zip, make sure you copy the log to SD (twrp) first before rebooting.

The flashable zip does not return you to recovery by the way, only the installer does this.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kamalmawa:
I just tried to install the latest version on my XZ on newly installed 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware. Same issue as the guy above.. I tried the older version 2.7.73 works fine. Thanks

[Sony Cross-Device General] evilc1:
Hi [NUT], I've had a look on TWRP site but no luck, I am trying to find how to verify the backup made by TWRP. As I had to reinstall the OS because the original backup failed to re install. Can you suggest/know of a way to do it.

tia
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
AFAIK you can verify the backups using TWRP itself...

You could also use Nandroid Manager to possibly retrieve as much from your backup as you can.

MD5 checking slows down your backups but can be essential for consistency checking... top tip for the future? :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] evilc1:
I couldn't find anything in TWRP and I do have MD5 but that only verifies the 'file' it cannot check files that were not copied. I have just purchased Nandroid Manager Pro after checking it out, wish I had it before (I deleted the original failed backup) would have saved me a lot of time.

Thanks for your help.

Can I use the most recent Tab Z beta installer to flash this on a Xperia Tablet Z sgp311 running stock 4.3 rooted? Or does 4.3 throw a monkey wrench into the proceedings?

Thanks a ton for any help - I looked through the thread but nothing stuck out as definitive one way or another.

Well, maybe... I have no tablet Z, so I can't say for sure.

Hey NUT, since .83 i always stuck in a bootloop when i reboot my Phone. Sometimes i need three or four tries to get it back working again. When i enter twrp and wipe dalviak cache the Phone reboots without Problem. But it can't be the solution that i wipe cache always when i want to reboot my Phone

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That sounds like you are using Xposed, which is a common bug for it. It has nothing to do with XZDR.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:

Error on Xperia ZL 569 install of recovery fails

Hello everyone,

I am sorry to report that with my device (Xperia ZL 10.4.B.0.569 installed through emma !!) the installation with the installer and using adb fails.

There is no error message, all seems to go well but when I request the recovery through adb reboot recovery the device boots up normally.

I have no SuperSu, no root just a blank device with the mentioned firmware.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

rotesmofa
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Thanks, twice in a single Olympic games, it's a feat ;)

Okay, back on topic :p

Hmm, thanks, I'll see what I can do about PhilZ/CWM (Philz is actually using the CWM fstab). I need you to do something though. It's funny that my own twrp config works fine but the CM CWM repo seems to be borked :|

Can you install and open up android terminal and do this, try to create a screenshot or copy the contents with every indicated step:

su
cd /dev/block/platform/
/system/xbin/ls -la
[B](screenshot here!)[/B]
cd msm_sdcc.1/
/system/xbin/ls -la
[B](screenshot here!)[/B]
cd by-name/
/system/xbin/ls -la
[B](screenshot here!)[/B]
cd ../../msm_sdcc.2/ (or 3 if 2 doesn't exist)
/system/xbin/ls -la
[B](screenshot here!)[/B]
cd by-name/
/system/xbin/ls -la
[B](screenshot here!)[/B]

That way I can correct it :)

If providing the screenshots with all the info is proving to be hard, you can suplement the screenshot commands with:

>> /sdcard1/ls.log

Which as an example will show the commands like this:

/system/xbin/ls -la >> /sdcard1/ls.log

Here the double > is important, otherwise you will overwrite every previous command you tried to log.

Read the note on unrooted firmwares here, that firmware is unsupported.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rotesmofa:
Thx, I missed that information.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Roughnecks:
Yes i use xposed. But what Can i do against it? But i haven't hat the Problem before

Gesendet von meinem C6903 mit Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Are you using a JB4.3 rom by any chance? If so, it is the cause. Xposed does not play nice with the JB4.3 ROM's...

There seems to be a fixed version floating around, I have no idea where to find it though...
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
I have the same with my XZU and the problem was Xposed GravityBox I just disable the GravityBox and the phone boot normal now.

Hii [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

Today, I ported Xperia Z stock based rom, which included the dual recoveries you built for Xperia Z phones, to Xperia ZR phone.

So, after booting into the OS, I went into recovery to flash the zip for ZR dual recovery you built. After flashing, I rebooted the phone, but now its stuck at sony logo. The phone doesn't vibrate anymore so I cant enter recovery mode either.

Can you please tell me how do I fix this?.

Also, I tried deleting the following files and used the windows installer for ZR dual recovery, but still the same issue persists.

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

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

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

/system/bin/chargemon

/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh

But I couldn't find these files to delete

/system/bin/charger

/system/bin/ric
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=5212298]ralf_waldo[/MENTION] I guess something might just have failed while flashing the rom or it simply won't boot without using the correct kernel/ramdisk.

Did you also port the kernel from the z? If so, did you flash it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ralf_waldo:
The 4.3 ZR port was in a system only, update.zip flashable file. There was no inclusion of either kernel or boot.img. Users were adviced to flash the kernel from the stock ftf after flashing the zip only if coming from 4.2.2 or 4.2.1.

The rom works just fine. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Remove /system/bin/mr as well and make sure you rename the stock binaries:

/system/bin/chargemon.stock

/system/bin/mr.stock

Their original name is obvious me thinks :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] ralf_waldo:
But there's no mr.stock file to rename in the Xperia Z flashable zip that I ported to Xperia ZR.

Also I didn't find the following files.

/system/bin/charger

/system/bin/ric
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, there is a script called backupstockbinaries.sh which moves them during installation. check if this is still being executed during installation.

What updater-script are you using? Did you create the flashable package using my DIY vm?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
XZDR for Xperia T/TL/TX/V 2.7.88 now online, this one should work if I understood the theory correctly.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm... 50% working... Well, I'm at least improving stuff :D

It's odd the flashable zip doesn't work... On the other hand, I believe the pictures you created show the named system spelled with a capital S... Its something I can fix.

Just to make sure, you are testing on the JB4.3 rom, right?
[Sony Cross-Device General] steveboss:
RIGHT :)

Yes it is. The XT file. TWRP can not yet read the internal storage and CWM can't read either. PhilZ can use the external SD though.

I come from a rooted 4.2.2 Stock Rom with that Dual Recovery. Xperia Z.

I have update to 4.3 via "Update Service" on Win7.

I like to have root and DualRecovery back.

But it seems not to work.

It is pushing the Files but it does not restart. No LED to see when i do it manually.

Maybe someone can help a little.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
If you updated with Sony Update Service via your PC, then you are no longer rooted and the 'no root' option in the installer will not work as the exploit used is patched in 4.3.

Your options are -

1. Unlock your bootloader and flash a modified kernel that includes a custom recovery, then flash a superuser zip.

2. Downgrade to 4.2.2, root and flash a prerooted 4.3 rom.

3. Wait for an exploit that will root 4.3.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Basian Mile:
Ok. Thx.

Can i downgrade to 4.2.2 by flashing "10.3.1.A.2.67" with Flashtool 0.9.11 without loosing my Data?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
I haven't had to downgrade myself, but I believe that you may have to wipe your data. I have seen that some people end up with a bootloop when downgrading without wiping.

This is outside the scope of this thread now, though, so if you need any more assistance then you should open a thread in the q&a section. ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Basian Mile:
Yes you are right.

Bootloop after that.

So i did it clean now.

Im back on 4.2.2 Rooted with DualRecovery.

I will then go with this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2643898

Disconnect your phone, reboot pc.
