[Sony Cross-Device General] sijav:
4.2.2 or 4.3?

if on 4.2.2 I don't have any problems if it is on 4.3 then it seems this recovery is not suitable for 4.3 yet. [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] did you manage to do your recovery with folder mount with 4.3 alright?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
On the Z1 and ZUltra yes, does the ZR know the semi-root kernel protection too?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I was actually considering that, yes... It was a long standing to-do. I'll see if I can push it up the list.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lasantha:
4.3
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you check if /sbin/ric is a binary or a script? (if it's a binary it will be around 70kb in size)

Then check in Android Terminal:

su
ps | grep "bin/ric"

If /sbin/ric is a binary, stop there and let me know.

If it's a script, kill it by doing this:

pkill -f /sbin/ric

Then wait 10 seconds and

mount -o remount,rw /system

Does it reboot or stay alive?

If it remains working or if /sbin/ric is still a binary, can you or [MENTION=4828164]sijav[/MENTION] attach a kernel.sin from the 4.3 ROM here? (zip it please)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lasantha:
its around 81.75kb

that command gives 1 as output

Hi NUT need to clarify is it possible to flash the Z1C 2.7.82 recovery on Z1?
[Sony Cross-Device General] evilc1:
Hi [NUT]. Just purchased a new mobile (Sony xperia z1) and have installed your XZDualRecovery 2.7.81 BETA, and for years have used CWM for all my backups and recovery. I am impressed with how TWRP has progressed over the years and would like to use it as my main backup/recovery apps, is there a way of removing CWM & PhilZ as they are not needed for my purpose. Thanks for your program and continual updating.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes it will be possible, but you don't want that: the 2.7.81 version is just fine for the Z1, the 2.7.82 for the Z1C and ZR are only fitted with a TWRP which has been compiled with the correct screen size for these models (720x1280).

If you would run .82 on the Z1, TWRP will start to look really funky :D

There is no difference otherwise, so there is no reason to update.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No need to remove the others, just forget about them :)

It should work fine when on 2.7.81 if you remove the recovery.philz/cwm.cpio.lzma files, but really, your system partition is 2Gb in size and only 1.2Gb will be used when on the heaviest possible customization...
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Ok will stick to .81.Tnx

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'm in the process of changing something, so you will have to do that small fix yourself:

With notepad, textpad, notepad++ or ultraedit (not wordpad, it will break the file) change line 98 in the install.bat file from:

adb shell "/system/xbin/su -c /system/bin/ls [U][B]-la [/B][/U]/data/local/tmp/recovery/busybox"

to:

adb shell "/system/xbin/su -c /system/bin/ls /data/local/tmp/recovery/busybox"

And try to install again.

-- EDIT --

If it still fails, what ROM version are you using on your Z Ultra?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
I did it but it doesn’t work

14.1.B.2.257
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Install Android Terminal from Play and type the following:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
touch /system/test
rm /system/test

Does your phone reboot in the process?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
no it doesn’t reboot

when

mount -o remount,rw /system

it gives

usage: mount [-r ] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you navigate however you are familiar with to /system/xbin/ and attach a list or image of the files in there?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
here the list of file in xbin as txt
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Okay... can you see if /system/bin/dualrecovery.sh exists?

And if so, does it have execute permissions? (755 or rwxr-xr-x)

If yes: When you boot, does your LED light up RED for 2-3 seconds while still looking at the kernel logo?

If yes: can you check your sdcard if there is a folder called XZDualRecovery ?

If yes: Does it contain a log called 'preperation.log' ?

If all yes and the log is there, please remove the folder and reboot your phone, then look again and attach it's contents here.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
yes the dualrecovery.sh exists

no red light when booting

and no folder called XZDualRecovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm...

Check if /system/bin/chargemon is a script please, just try to open it in a file manager app as text file.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
I don’t know how to see if chargemon is a script

But here a txt copy of the file
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That actually said it all :D

Okay... here comes a smart ass question and a possible solution:

Do you have a busybox installer app installed on your phone?

If yes, clean up the busybox installation and remove the app, then try to install XZDualRecovery again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
Yes I have busybox installer app. And I just did uninstall both the busybox and the installer app. i Installed again XZDualRecovery and still in the first boot doesn’t go to recovery.and no RED light when booting the phone and when pressing the Volume up or down key nothing happed it continue booting
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
*sigh*

Can you remove /system/etc/.xzdrbusybox and reboot to see if it will start to work?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
i don’t have this .xzdrbusybox in /system/etc/ or in any other folder
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:eek: derp :eek:

The mistery deepens ...

Can you list the contents of /system/xbin once more?

-- EDIT --

Oh and check if you have the XZDualRecovery folder now, it can be on your external SD or inside /cache

If you have it now, please attach it's contents.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
here the list of file in xbin again

I found /temp/XZDualRecovery and deleted the preperation.log and reboot the new after reboot is attached
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That actually clarified the situation.

Your busybox app cleanup didn't work out as it should have... and it's now screwing up the function of XZDualRecovery.

Can you once more open Android Terminal and then type the following:

su
cd /system/xbin/
find . -type l -exec rm -f {} \;

Then list the contents once more, it should at least show you only binary files from there on, making the list a LOT shorter.

Remove /system/etc/.xzdrbusybox, remove the busybox binar(y/ies) in /system/xbin and then try to reinstall XZDualRecovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
when

find . -type l -exec rm -f {} \;

it gives

rm failed for -f, no such file of directory
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Then do the same command without the -f.

Damn toolbox commands :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] droidhd:
If I revert everything back to original with Sony update center or PPC, is recovery also the original one? Just in case I have to bring my phone on repair, usually I reset complete phone (backup all sms, pictures, etc). So now I need to know how is with recovery?

Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If you restore your phone to factory clean using SUS or PCC it will also remove this recovery package. If you do a factory reset from within the settings menu it will remain in the ROM (as it does not touch /system with a factory reset).
[Sony Cross-Device General] funfun99999:
it give rm failed for ..... read only file system

and cant mount

with

mount -o remount,rw /system

it gives

usage: mount [-r ] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

how many file should be there and which, and i delete the rest manually
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Type this to remount then:

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system

it's really annoying: the busybox app you used left a mess on your phone...

I just thought of an alternative solution:

Take a .257 FTF and uncheck all wipe options and exclude everything but system. This action will unroot your phone, so you will have to root it again before you can continue. As soon as you have rooted it again, the XZDualRecovery installation should finish without a hitch and it should work fine from there on.

It's your choice ultimately, we can try to fix/cleanup the mess the busybox app made too... but the alternative might be faster.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
There should at least remain 2, su and daemonsu should AT LEAST remain, this will ensure you keep root. Everything else is expendable from my perspective, though I do not know if any mod you installed uses anything in there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lycidias:
I can't use this with cm11,right?

Would that be possible to flash kernel via recovery on UB just like on Samsung devices?

That would be more than awesome. I'm wondering because I've seen backup TA in TWRP Which wasn't possible on Xperia Play.

hey will this work on C6602??And your rooted 10.1.1.A.253 firmware will it also work on C6602 only if i flash your zip and then flash the kernel,kernel fota and baseband from the original ftf of C6602 10.1.1.A.253??
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm, that should be ok to do, not sure though...

Make sure you have backups on standby :rolleyes:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Nfahajan:

[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Thanks for this [NUT] :good: Both recoveries are loading up without issues :cool:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Take that question to the proper thread please... To answer it quickly: see OP of that thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sephstyler:
Sorry for the n00bish question, but, since this recovery is for locked, or for unlocked bootloaders, does that mean even if you have a locked BL you can use this to flash custom ROMs?
[Sony Cross-Device General] eagle1977:
Yep u r able to flash Custom Roms... But "only" those Roms who are for LB (not cm..)

I uninstalled the dual recovery as you said and installed TWRP (single recovery).

[Sony Cross-Device General] R4GE199:

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It should work just fine :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] R4GE199:
Thanks for your quick reply. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I guess that question is better to ask in the proper thread, as I did not make the single recovery solutions...
[Sony Cross-Device General] SE_iCEQB:
Afaik Dual Recovery is the only recovery taht has this LED feature .... so my thought was that it wasn't uninstalled correctly :confused:

EDIT: Oh wow nevermind....I just completely shutdown the phone and restarted it -> red LED gone.

I guess a warm restart leaves stuff in RAM which causes the red LED to pop up.
[Sony Cross-Device General] philipsim@live.com:
After installing your dual recovery , twrp doesnt seem to work on the internal storage , it cant mount the files inside the internal storage , it was working fine on version 2.4.3.0 though. I cant find any files in the internal storage , only folders will appear but nothing is inside :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yah, i gues you fell for a bugfix Team Win did... the funny thing is, twrp 2.4.3.0 handled the internal storage like an 'sdcard' ... which it officially isn't as it's internal storage and part of the 'userdata'.

Mount 'data' and look inside /data/media ... look familiar? ;)

[XZDualRecovery] Version 2.1 RELEASE released!

RELEASE Change log:

Version 2.1:

Updated CWM to 6.0.3.2, originally built by [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]

Changed the flashable zip version, it now creates a copy of the already present chargemon to chargemon.stock, like the installer version does, instead of copying one from the zip onto /system. This makes this version a little more portable to other Xperia phone's as they might have a different official chargemon application.
[Sony Cross-Device General] brockyneo:

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] The build. 2.7.81 not working on XT, XV... can`t mount system etc. on cwm recovery... (2.7.80 working well)... any solutions?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yeah, on UB it's possible to flash a kernel. From the 2012 line upwards I believe. The TA backup feature is specific to XZDualRecovery, I included it in the TWRP configuration ;)

Hmm... cwm as in vanilla or philz touch? Or do they both not work? Check your app drawer for NDR Utils to reboot to CWM and see if it works ok there.

It's funny, because I never changed the CWM and PhilZ ramdisks except for the buttonbar in philz... odd.
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
Tell me that you're not kidding! How about passing through the bootloader? How about writing a kernel on which the recovery is running? Goddamnit, just tell me that you're not joking! I considered S4 instead of Z1 and kernel flashing without PC was one of the S4 pros for me.

Please confirm whether it's possible to flash a kernel without using PC.

[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.83 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 2.7.83:

The installer package can now install even on unrooted phones :victory: It is using rootkitXperia for this and it will ONLY work on specific ROM versions. If you could root your ROM using [MENTION=1346722]Bin4ry[/MENTION]'s latest rooting tool using option 0 or could root it using rootkitXperia from the thread by [MENTION=5169444]RyokoN[/MENTION], it is VERY likely that it will install just fine :fingers-crossed:

NOTE: It will only

install

XZDualRecovery, after installation you will still NOT have a rooted ROM! You can flash the latest SuperSU or SuperUser update packages from recovery or use the built in rooting options in the recoveries.

Removed the always checking of the input devices for the volume and power keys. It will now search once and store the input device in the XZDR.prop file. If you ever wish to make it search for them again, remove dr.gpiokeys.node and dr.pwrkey.node from the properties file. This change should speed up the boot even more :cowboy:

Updated the search engine to be able to find the power button input node on the Z1 and it's brothers and sisters. The older version could only find the power button on the Xperia Z and it's brothers and sisters ;)

As a reminder: 2.7.82 was only released for the ZR and Z1C, because of an incorrectly aligned TWRP. This version should not change that fact ;)

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.
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
Hang on. I'm ****ting bricks already, yet you found a way to directly flash the recovery!

Let me know if there is any way that I could help you with the Z1 product id.

Wysłane z mojego C6903 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Grab the Z1 534 FTF I created to downgrade, and the installer will be able to root it for you, then you can use my 'Update to' packages to get it back to 4.3, rooted and all :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
I'm already rooted, but thanks anyway. :)

I think it would be a good idea to list firmwares that are confirmed to be able to get this recovery flashed without root.

If you wanted me to test it, then I'll do it, just let me know.

How about product id's? Do you need any help with that or you'll have to fix it by yourself?

Just flashed your latest recovery, works great! :)

Hi Nut. Wonder if it's possible to install dual recovery via flash tool for locked BL?

Sometimes, if you flash a rom that is not compatible, you lose root and recoveries and phone stuck at boot logo. If I could flash dual recovery via flash tool, I could restore my backup via recovery.

At the moment, I had no choice but to flash a stock rom ftf via flash tool and start from square 1.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'm not the developer for the root exploit kit being used here ;)

So, no need to notify me of anything except for ROM versions installation was successful on :good:

No, all Z1 JB4.3 ROM's will not be rooted by rootkitXperia. You need the .534 ROM for that, I haven't tested it on .257 yet.

Read reply above this quote.

Hmm... no, as it is now. Maybe in the future. Square 1 is the only available method as it is now.

Hey NUT,

thanks for your excellent Work!!!

I use your recovery on my X1 and TabZ.On Z1 all work as expected, but on TabletZ i can't use TWRP

(i would like to use that)-if i boot in TWRP,i don't get any storage mounted,only system...

Not a intern SD,not a Extern SD...(I see in TWRP only system part,and can't see even mnt or storage part)...

What could be here wrong? Or what can i look on,to solve that?

Thank you in advance!

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

I use recovery with latest FW -10.4.B.0.577 [UB/LB][XZDualRecovery]- rooted, with locked BL...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm... Can you use adb shell while in recovery?

If you can we can try to find out what's wrong.

You can use the adb in the installer (files directory), which should work ok on JB4.3 ROM's.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ValVK:
Should i use adb sideload function?And then use adb from your installer version (from files dir)?

But i can't acces int SD nor ExtSD fron TWRP...Where i must copy those files dir to?
