FTF Flash of 4.4.4 (I reverted from 5.0.2 due to problems with memory management, etc.). Rooted using the 108 <> 157 method. TiBu uninstalled most bloat, and installed 2.8.14 Release from your site. TWRP Version 2.8.6.0. Xperia Z1 C6906. All is well, phone is stable, however, I can't wipe the Internal SD card (Ext_SD is good!).

Get this error in the logs (also attached).

Wiping internal storage -- /data/media

E:mount -o bind '/data/media/0' '/sdcard' process ended with ERROR=255

Updating partition details...

... done

Tried to "Fix Permissions", without SELinux checked, and tried to wipe Int_SD, but same issue.

I did "Copy Log to SD" from advanced, but there's no log created in /data/media/0, likely because of the same issue above. Can I change it to save to ext_sd card so I can provide it to you somehow? or are the below logs enough for ya?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you attach/include the contents of your XZDR.prop file there?
[Sony Cross-Device General] russel5:
You are need add NOT 'null'

you are need add

dr.gpiokeys.node=false
dr.pwrkey.node=false

because chargemon script check only this ^^ value

"$(DRGETPROP dr.gpiokeys.node)" = "false"
"$(DRGETPROP dr.pwrkey.node)" = "false"

and i don't know why are you [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] still NOT fix this bug? I write you about it long time ago...

[MENTION=964885]Wiltron[/MENTION], this is NOT bug this is normal

Read what recovery say

Wiping internal storage -- /data/media

All done you are NOT have anymore sdcard

E:mount -o bind '/data/media/0' '/sdcard' process ended with ERROR=255

This mean my upper words, if you are NOT have sdcard, so what mount?

If you go to Advanced - File manager - sdcard --> you will see......nothing

And sdcard will create only when you load your phone again
[Sony Cross-Device General] artlov:
Yes, adding those two lines in suggested format fixed my problem. Back with 2.8.14 again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Wiltron:
I put a 6MB PDF file on my internal SD card, rebooted into recovery, wiped internal storage, and booted back into KK. The file was gone. It is successfully wiping the internal SD card.

IMO, It shouldn't be throwing an error message.. it should hide that line completely, and state that it was successful, since it was successful.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You're right about the false bit... I'm confusing stuff now...

Anyway, i did fix it in the source, I'm piling up smaller fixes for one last version to be released.

It's why 2.8.12 is still online...
[Sony Cross-Device General] POMF2K:
Can't boot into recovery with hardware buttons...

Anyone else have this issue?

Don't know what I'm doing wrong. It boots to teamwin just fine after installing but I can never get into it again. In fact I've had this problem with every device I've installed it on. It must be something I'm doing wrong.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AussieCable:
Nope, works exactly as described on my Z2 (D6503).
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
This is a bug in 2.8.14 to be precise... It only happens to fresh installations.
[Sony Cross-Device General] guhvanoh:
I think you're incorrect. Does the /data/media/0 directory exist? If it doesn't, then you can't mount it, therefore you get an error.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Need Help

I need some help to debug the Kernel Builder for use with custom and CM/AOSP/Omni kernels. The last time I worked on it it was functioning fine, but I think it might be kernel release related. Some people seem to be running in to nonfunctional kernels, in some way, but the people reporting it not working are unable to provide me with much more then "it doesn't work" :eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
XZDualRecovery 2.8.15-RELEASE released!

RELEASE Change log:

Version 2.8.15:

Smaller bug fixes and improvements all around which didn't have a huge impact.

Fixing the XZDR.prop issue which prevents new installations to store and use the input nodes needed for the key checking.

Replaced the Z1 Compact CWM with the Z1 CWM, to see if that makes it kick back to life.

It seems I will be needing another release before I declare the 2.8 version series 'finished!'...
[Sony Cross-Device General] eagle25884:
Hi NUT, thanks for new version :good:

I flashed 2.8.15 over the existing 2.8.14 with no problems.

Reboot into Teamwin works fine as well as PhilZ and as well into system.

I do not (yet) use Xposed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ptmaniac:
Used the pc installer to update my z2 to 2.8.15 (from 2.8.14), no problems found so far, thanks NUT.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bird40:
ZXDualRecovery 2.8.15 works fine for my ZL (C6503) and Z2 Tablet (SGP521).

Thanks inadvance
[Sony Cross-Device General] Betschi:
Sorry for the stupid question, but my phone doesnt start in the recovery when I press vol up or down while the green LED is shining. What am I doing wrong? The recovery itself is installed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FabianLaRose:
Serious? -_- You really think he'll release something that doesn't work on his devices! :|
[Sony Cross-Device General] POMF2K:
Same problem I'm having. Can only enter recovery via windows installation. Might actually be able to via a reboot from NDR Utils. I'll check it out.

In the meantime I'm going to install the new version and see if that helps.

What device are you using. I'm on the Z3, t-mobile variant.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alhaddad:
Can't mount external sd after 2.8.15
[Sony Cross-Device General] Inceptic:
On lastest version i can't do backup in TWRP after backup system phone reboot. Xperia SP install via installer.
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
2.8.15 installer working fine in z1 lollipop.
[Sony Cross-Device General] POMF2K:
Try out the latest version. Working fine now on my Z3.

Also, which recovery is generally preferred? Which has better options? I'm guessing they aren't compatible?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Inceptic:
Installer yes but, TWRP don't wanna do backup, it reboot
[Sony Cross-Device General] AussieCable:
No issue's here on my D6503, all working as described.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Arxelance:
2.8.15 flashable is working on Z3. I've tried all options for rebooting to recovery and all worked. Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
What about the people with xposed, no problems/bootloop when installing 2.8.15 ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Space_pilot:
Let's see..

Works fine with Xposed
[Sony Cross-Device General] supercfc:
Error on Z2 D6502

used version- Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer

Firmware -21.1.A.1.28

Bootloader- Relocked via restoring TA Partition

On this new firmware while installing recovery by selecting '3rd' option (on unrooted phones using towel root), it says "error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported."

However, it worked perfectly when i rooted the firmware 23.1.A.0.726 (lollipop).
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, it would have been in the changelog otherwise.

If you don't use xposed, delete the xzdr.prop file and reboot.

The latest version should actually fix the reason why 2.8.14 failed. If it still won't work after the update, and you're not using xposed, remove the xzdr.prop and reboot.

The unrooted installation works only on kitkat and not even the latest releases for most of the supported models.
[Sony Cross-Device General] MickieH:
Hi.

Can I use Z3 locked dual recovery 2.8.15 and 'install on unrooted device' if I flash 23.0.A.2.93 on my D6603 with locked bootloader?

Or should I flash 23.0.A.2.93 and use giefroot, then use install on rooted device?

Any advice advice appreciated,

Thanks,

Mick
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If the easyroottool didn't work for that FW version then you need giefroot to root and then install xzdualrecovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] djg269:
Hello i am only able to boot in the Philz and TWRP recovery. Choosing CWM with NDR utils will cause stuck at bootlogo. Using the latest version for the Z1 and used the flashable zip.
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Mine is working perfectly, just made allready a backup everything fine. cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Is your data partition encrypted perhaps?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
Flashable zip of 2.8.15 works also fine and we can flash it with xposed installed and get no bootloop ?

I am just curious to avoid a bootloop due no pc at the moment, please someone confirm that, i am on LP latest FW .28 on my Z2
[Sony Cross-Device General] kris555777:
Pandemic Exactly so I've done and there is no bootloop
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Hi [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] is it possible to change the splash image on the twrp. I been looking to this thread http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/theme-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2915584 and I changed allready the theme for a material one but i am trying with the splash screen but when i try to open the recovery.twrp.cpio.Izma with Android image kitchen i ve got an error and i dont know if this happen because this file is not a normal image recovery. cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] russel5:
You are need Linux system to extract this twrp archive - change image and repack again. You can't unpack lzma on Windows
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Could it be unpack with terminal emulator on android? Or just línux? Any help with the commands to do it? Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] joseangel.alv:
I think he should be able to extract the '.lzma' with 7-Zip 15 Alpha (and also the resulting '.cpio')

EDIT:

But, as you said, Linux is needed to repack the 'cpio' :)

You can use Android Image Kitchen from Linux or Android.

Using Ubuntu:

To unpack lzma format (located at /tmp):

sudo apt-get install lzma
unlzma /tmp/TWRP.cpio.lzma
<or>
lzma -d /tmp/TWRP.cpio.lzma

Or:

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

And use it the same way as 7-Zip

Then, to extract the 'cpio' archive (located at /tmp):

mkdir ~/twrp
cd ~/twrp
cpio -idv < /tmp/TWRP.cpio

After making your mod, to repack:

cd ~/twrp
ls | cpio -ov > /tmp/TWRP.cpio
lzma /tmp/TWRP.cpio
[Sony Cross-Device General] russel5:
Give me twrp archive and splash image in PM

I make how you want
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:

I have previews version .14 on my device xperia z1. can I update just with windows installer? or have to flash from recovery?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Both methods should work just fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] alvlin:
thank you but i have a problem, I flashed android 5.0.2 pre rooted with recovery .10 on my xperia z1. but i cant access to recovery by using vol up or down at starting sony logo, and have to use recovery with NRD utils. I tried to install .14 version by widows installer, but this problem doest fix. how can I fix my problem that can not access to recovery by pressing vol up and down when mobile turn of and is on starting sony logo?
[Sony Cross-Device General] FabianLaRose:
Works fine bro. Flashed it last night. No problems at all. ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
Oke great and thanks bro :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] alvlin:
my problem fixed by updating new version .15

thank you, I have another question. can I disable 2 vibrate r(evocery ) when in sony logo (due to starting phone) ?

because my vibration has problem and make ke bad noisy sound and I disabled all vibrate function in phone, but in doesnt disable recovery 2 vibrate at sony logo?
[Sony Cross-Device General] aiola1982:
edit your dualrecovery.sh and comment out vibrator that it looks like this:

#echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable
#usleep 300000
#echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

and you are done.
[Sony Cross-Device General] alvlin:
I have to delet these 3 lines?!
[Sony Cross-Device General] aiola1982:
put a # at the beginning of the 3 lines or just delete them
[Sony Cross-Device General] alvlin:
I do both of them, but with non of them, doesnt vibrate been of.

The source was:

# Vibrate to alert user to make a choice

ECHOL "Trigger vibrator"

echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

usleep 300000

echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

First i edited to:

# Vibrate to alert user to make a choice

ECHOL "Trigger vibrator"

#echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

#usleep 300000

#echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

When doeant work, i delet these 3 lines. But it vibrate yet at sony logo.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
these three lines are on two different locations in the file. Disable both of them.
[Sony Cross-Device General] alvlin:
thank you it works fine. I have another question, I am using vibra fix app than can limit vibration for example just for call or notification or ...

but this app start when phone is start automatically to grant the app. how can I disable first vibrate when press power buttom to start phone. (not related to recovery). first vibrate when click on power buttom for starting phone, because vibrafix doesnt turn this vibrate off.

thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
I think you can't as the first vibrate is in bootloader...

Have you enabled debugging in developer option? Have you authorised your adb to access your phone?

I'm not sure if it still can root new firmware though, if not, I'm afraid you'll need to unlock your bootloader.

cm kernel with version 2.8.15

hey [nut]! thanks a lot for all your tools!

i've just used your online kernel builder to get xzdr into cm12.1 boot.img. i did the same about 2 weeks ago with version 2.8.14 where all worked fine. this time i can't get phone to boot into recovery. there's a short violet colored LED then it reboots again and does a normal boot into system. any workaround?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alhaddad:
First make sure you have the latest adb as older versions can't authorise.. Then just run adb logcat and it should ask you if you want to authorise this pc on your phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lynchyy89:
I'll look into that tomorrow, I'm assuming that's different from authorising my pc on my phone when first connecting in debugging mode?

Where would I find this kernel and would it work on z3? Last time I rooted my phone I flashed a kernel using Sony flash tool, but no longer have the old files, I think I got it from the kernel builder but when I looked back at the website there was no longer a kernel for my device
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That's easily solved, you can build one yourself, just upload the original kernel file from the ROM you are using or dump the running kernel using dd on the phone. They both will work fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lynchyy89:
How would I get the kernel file from my ROM? Everywhere I look seems as if you need root to do this?

EDIT: I've read that you can extract the kernel file from the ftf.. I've got the ftf that I flashed still sat on my computer, will give that a shot first
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That's correct, to be able to dump the boot partition you will need to be on a rooted device. The alternative is to download a FTF from your ROM (you can use FlashTool for that, downloading the exact version of FW you have on the phone now) and extract the kernel.sin to upload to the kernel builder.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lynchyy89:
Yeah I found another forum for extracting from the ftf, I have the ftf that I flashed to my phone still on the computer, will have a go that way
[Sony Cross-Device General] lynchyy89:
All sorted, extracted kernel.sin built advanced kernel used fastboot to flash the img and all working fine, now.. If I were to root do I flash the superSU zip or could I now flash my pre-rooted firmware for lollipop .690? (baring in mind I'm currently on kk .77)

standalone flashable ric killer

Hello,

it there a standalone flashable version of ric killer, which now integrated into ZXDR? I want to use it with PRFCreator.

I'm planning upgrade my Xperia Z to upcoming Lollipop but don't want install full recovery for security reason. With LB it's impossible to get access to user data on the locked phone. Each reboot will require unlock code again, USB debugging is disabled by default on my phone and reflash firmware with wipe will erase all user data, also an unlocking of bootloader (to flash custom kernel with embedded recovery). But with installed recovery there is an easy way to get access to phone memory without any passwords and graphical keys.

Or you may tell me a way to lock access to recovery? It may be a better variant than not to install recovery at all. But the security is on the first place for me, I don't want to give access to my bank accounts, emails and so on when I loose my phone or it will be stolen.

Thank you.

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] I am getting error 255 when I use your 2.8.15 TWRP recovery. I was trying to repair stuff with this prf zip I created. Used your recovery and getting error 255 when I was installing zip and wiping internal recovery. Flashed back 2.8.14 and no issues wiping internal storage. Just want to report this to you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Between 2.8.14 and 15 twrp didn't change. I think the first wipe fixed whatever was wrong, I doubt you will get anything else with 15 right now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] infinitylook:
okay found what's wrong.

I think what i did wrong was that when i was doing the wipe, i chose advanced wipe and I included the internal options on the checklist. Whenever i do wipe on the internal storage, it always happen like that, it gives error 255. Do you know what's causing that? I will try to recreate the issue again, i successfully flashed the prf zip with no errors.

[Sony Cross-Device General] bdithug:
I have the D6503. When I had firmware version 690 and 724, I had no issues with titanium Backup. When I created my pre-rooted flashable zip for firmware 28, I also upgraded the recovery version (from version 10 to 15). Now I don't have r/w access to my SD card! Twrp can r/w to it no problem (can delete files, make a nandroid, etc), but when I boot into android, no apps have r/w access to the SD card. What am I missing?

I bet you're missing this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

Or similar ways to do the same.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bdithug:
I thought that wasn't necessary anymore with lollipop. It's weird because I never needed to patch the write capabilities for the SD card with the previous versions of lollipop. I was just assuming it had something to do with the newer version of dual recovery as that is the only thing I changed. I fixed it now though by editing the platform.xml file. Thanks!

[EDIT]

Hmm, only for the C6602 so far, will have to wait for the first C6603 version to be released. I don't want to crossflash because that by itself can cause bootloops.

[EDIT 2]

Are you guys perhaps using Xposed?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Prior_Ori:
no. on a clean firmware is happening.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Whizzoo:
You can't get Xposed to install without recovery on Lollipop (that's what the app says) so probably not. I'm thinking these people crossflashed (C6603 to C6602), could you confirm? I did and I assume that's the cause of the bootloops. Reflashing the (C6602) firmware stops the bootloop in case you guys are still stuck.
