Version Information

Status: Stable

Current Stable Version: 2.8.3

Stable Release Date: 2015-03-10

Current Beta Version: 2.9.0

So I am looking to try 2.9.0 BETA ... in NUT´s downloads I can find only release files, not betas....
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Beta versión is not out yet. Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] jarayn:
Its amazing how many things I miss not having custom recovery. Its a reminder of how much I/we owe these guys for spending the time to make everything work.

Good luck!
[Sony Cross-Device General] wwaleed:
why no one is responding to my simple question :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
well... that question seems not to be that simple then, but the answer is, I guess. If you can't mount internal storage in TWRP or PhilZ... are you sure you are trying to mount the correct storage?

Can you take pictures of the recoveries where you try to change storage location to show us you are actually trying to do the correct thing? Are you sure you are using the XZDR recovery instead of the one integrated in existenz?
[Sony Cross-Device General] hussein1:
'[NUT] Thank you very much for your hard work.

Please download link version 2.9 beta for xperia Z2?:fingers-crossed::p
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
2.9 has not been released yet. 2.8.3 is the most current version and it does NOT work on Lollipop!
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
thanks. and this is our only hope for working recovery in lollipop right? I mean, no other recoveries as af now running on lollipop (locked bootloader)?

if so, hope you can sort all problems preventing your recovery to work on LP soon :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] mysara saad:
Hi [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] I see other posts that indicates that recovery is now working in UB lollipop devices

Is there's a progress in development?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I know how to fix it for UB devices, but this is with the init binary replacement scripting, my version worked by injecting something in the base init.rc to make it fly. I did that to keep the UB and LB versions closer to each other and to be able to share code between the 2 versions.

This is also the reason why the XZDR Kernel version is suffering from the same issues as the LB package. It is also the reason why I am working on the kernel version first, because it's easier and faster to flash a new version during development, and once I fix the kernel version there is a 99.9% chance the LB version will kick back to life once I integrate the same fixes in to that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alhaddad:
AndroPluskernel has a working recovery on lollipop http://dl.androplus.org/Xperia Z2 D6502_D6503_D6543/Z2_ADV_stock_LP_v2.zip

I'm running it right now [emoji1]

Edit: not sure about locked bootloader
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
AFAIK it only works with unlocked bootloader... ;(
[Sony Cross-Device General] mysara saad:
That's great and we all really appreciate your time and effort and hopefully when the time comes I would gladly help with the beta testing

Thank you [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

Fingers crossed
[Sony Cross-Device General] wwaleed:
wait >> I thought XZDR recovery is the one integrated with eXistenZ rom, isn't it?

cuz in the installation instructions it said install nut's dual recovery and it's the one I installed to flash the rom

I don't know if the recovery will change after flashing the rom but I can't see any difference between your recovery and the one integrated with the rom, if it's not yours then sorry for giving you a headache :)

I'll try to put some pics later so you can tell me if I'm doing the right thing or not.
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
I think you should find the right answer in that thread, ask the dev of the existenz rom probably he can give you the answer. Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] wwaleed:
thanks bro , I replied in the rom thread hoping to get an answer :)

Hi, had this kernel working with LP until i made a nandroid Backup TWRP. All went ok, but reboot in system after that ends in a bootloop. No Chance to fix. Neither with re-installing androplus kernel, nor wipe Dalvik/Cache. Still remains in a bootloop. now went back to KK so far..
[Sony Cross-Device General] veimus:
version v2 is working for me very well no problem flashing, making backup and restore nandroid, just tested :] here is more details: LINK
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
just give thanks that we have root on lollipop thanks to guy that rooted Z3 and so, we heredate it to LP. I agree with you about the recovery, I need it so bad, but lollipop is a different story from kitKat, hope that NUT bypass the issue.

PS:, why so many people doesn't have R/W to system on lollipop?. Just solve that issue on KK, and then on lollipop you will be fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] PVL_93_RU:
How exactly does one make a custom kernel via NUT's site?

I mean, okay, if I make one there - what does it give me? Will I be able to flash a custom recovery? (For example from rcstar's thread) or only grant root permissions?

Literally only thing I need to do via recovery are 1) flash Super SU and 2) flash Xposed framework
[Sony Cross-Device General] benzo:
In kk no problems with rw system, this the first time I have this similar issue..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Albert Poon:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Just to let you know, the previous minor issue of the time always 1 hour behind reappeared on 283 for TabZ again. It works fine on PhilZ tho.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Darkly Phoenix:
First of all: Im sorry if the question was already asked.

I have flashed cm-12-20150322-NIGHTLY-amami to my xperia z1 compact with this dualrecovery (TWRP) but when I flashed it, restarted it and went into the recovery, I had the cyanogenmod recovery on my phone. I did flash the flashable .zip after installing CM 12 (and before restarting), but it didn't help. But the cyanogen recovery is bugged out, so I'm not able to flash anything

When trying to flash the dualrecovery afterward, it says

Install failed
E:Cannot load colume /misc!
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
E:Cannot load colume /misc!

It also says that, when I'm trying to flash the newest cm-12-20150324-NIGHTLY-amami.zip which is a bit more of a problem, as that means that I won't be able to flash anything at all, right? I flashed the gapps right away with the TWRP, so I have those.

If I remember correctly, there was no error message when flashing it directly after the flash of cyanogenmod.

I also tried to install SuperSU (as Privacy Guard is the default one on Cyanogenmod) and then try the installer. It worked, there weren't any error messages, but when booting, it booted right into the cyanogen recovery. How can I flash the dualrecovery, without any other recovery to flash it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Klaus N.:
@ Darkly Phoenix

This is why you failt:

- [NUT]'s XZDualRecovery only works on stock-rom's

...and even if you switch to a 5.0.2 stock rom:

- actually it still not supports 5.0.2 (lollipop) stock
[Sony Cross-Device General] Darkly Phoenix:
Oh, I didn't know that, thanks for the info! :)

(Also I just found out that there is an integrated CM-Update feature, so that's no problem anymore)

Is there any alternative I can use? I would really like to have TWRP on my phone, or some way of flashing things.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Klaus N.:
There are two alternatives:

For TWRP on CM12 take a look into this thread: http://xdaforums.com/z3/development/recovery-z3-twrp-2-8-4-0-t3028846

For PhilZ on CM12 you should give a try that one: http://xdaforums.com/z3/orig-development/kernel-m5-kernel-t3045319 (Download-link in the startpost -> z3 -> Recovery)

...and now btt please ;)

Sorry for interrupting, it woked!! :)

Thank you very much.

Help after installing cm12

Hi, so when i was flashing cm12 I did flash the dualrecovery flashable.zip before rebooting'

When i rebooted the phone the NDR untils app was there and was a system app but when I try to reboot to recovery it goes to the cyanogen recovery. I have disabled recovery update in settings.. Is there any way to fix this?

I am on D5833 (Xperia Z3 Compact) running cm-12-20150323-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip <-- this is the latest at the moment

(P.S when I try and use Flashify to flash the zip it just crashes)

Just re-read the above comments

Do you know where I can get a custom recovery for my Z3 Compact?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] v7:
Read a few posts back.XZdualrecovery only works on stock roms.

Tapped from my furious ZR ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Arctoze:
Will this wipe out my data after installing?

Sorry I'm a noob here I want to access recovery without wiping data cuz I have very important files on my phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] hush66:
No, it will not wipe data.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Arctoze:
Thanks! (Also the clicked the button lol)
[Sony Cross-Device General] dzejmsbond007:
Guys, do you have file "enable" created in "/sys/kernel/security/sony_ric" with content "0"? That is what script named "disableric" should do. My folder "/sys/kernel/security/sony_ric" exists but is empty. Tried to create it by myself, with commands from that script, but I get "permission denied" on "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"

I am on 5.0.2 - .690
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Have same system and don't have that file in. However my root and system r/w access works normally. I am a locked bootloader.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dzejmsbond007:
Also locked bootloader, I also have root and some sort of system r/w access (from e.g. terminal app), but e.g. ES3 file explorer denies to switch to root mode...
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Try to switch off setting "mount namespace separation" in SuperSU and reboot to get RW root in ES Explorer.
[Sony Cross-Device General] jereMarfil24:
This Dual Recovery working on Xperia Z2 .690 5.0.2?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tribemac:
No it doesn't.... Yet
[Sony Cross-Device General] dzejmsbond007:
Not working, still the same...
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
OK not sure what went wrong... I had usual way downgrade to 93 then giefroot and flashed prerooted 690 removed mount namespace settings and then install ES. Try to uninstall and reinstall ES after changing that settings in SuperSU.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
that file can not be created because it already exists but is 'hidden'. As soon as '1' is echo'ed in to /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable it will hide and disable this control file. ON is really ON and there is

no

way to turn it off after it is activated.

You need a pre-rooted ROM which installs the disableric script or does the same as XZDR does during boot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I did have some issues with ES File Explorer, while having full root (could remount without issues in android terminal), it wouldn't pass the root testing it does when turning root exploration on. This and the re-installation of ES File Explorer (both your suggestions) fixed the root capabilities of the app. Thanks for that!
[Sony Cross-Device General] dzejmsbond007:
Reinstall did it :)

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
As [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] pointed out it is necessary to have both steps :

1. Disable mount namespace separation in SuperSU and

2. Install or reinstall ES Explorer.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Darkly Phoenix:
Turns out that it is a Z3 TWRP. It does let me install and at all, it works. But when trying to update Cyanogenmod, it doesn't work, as TWRP thinks it is a xperia z3, while he knows that the .zip is made for the z1c. Seems like I have to stick with the Cyanogen recovery for now :/

(sorry for interrupting again)

EDIT: Found this: http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719

Seems to work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bananebieger:
I get a red LED when starting the phone and not a green one that indicates I can press VOL UP / DOWN for custom recovery...

I think its because dumb me installed another busybox installer from the playstore and now I can't boot into recovery.

Is it possible to kinda re-install the dualrecovery on 5.0.2 baltic version w/o having to downgrade/wipe/whatever?
[Sony Cross-Device General] daniels7:
If you're on a locked bootloader the Recovery won't work on 5.0.2 anyways, no matter what you do, until NUT solves the problems with Lollipop (Thanks for that NUT :) )

If you have an unlocked bootloader then you can install AndroPlus-Kernel to get a working recovery, it includes it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bananebieger:
So I should pull TA files and unlock BL? I won't loose data/my current setup/root if I unlock my BL?(Already got my verification mail from Sony to unlock the BL) Or should I just wait for NUT to fix the recovery? I wanted to flash a custom bootanimation and I think its not worth to risk my warranty because of that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
If you have root, you should be able manually place the files and set permissions without having to flash the zip through recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tatsu91:
Remember if you unlock bootloader you will lose drm unless you backed up first
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bananebieger:
shoey63: Placing the files by hand... you are right. Totally forgot/ignored that :D Thank you!

tatsu91: I pulled the TA partition yesterday. For my understanding that should include the DRM files. Right?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tatsu91:
Yes you are right, TA does include DRM files
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
any status update about development of the lollipop version? :o :angel::fingers-crossed:
[Sony Cross-Device General] daniels7:
You already voided your warranty as you requested the code by Sony I think.

Besides that you should wait for NUT to fix this, I'm sure he will do so soon, he is great :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Announcement from [NUT]: IMPORTANT: XZDualRecovery 2.8.3 does NOT work on Lollipop based ROM's! I'm working on it!
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
I saw the announcement, and I saw his last post with updates too. but since they are a little old already, I asked if there were fresh/new updates maybe available ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] mardrest:
You only lose warranty if you unlock the bl. But if you backed the ta partition before you can restore the ta partition and you have warranty again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tatsu91:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] is workin on ul XZDR because it's easier to port from ul to lb once achieved, wait a little more time
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
If there would be anything new it would be posted here or in development thread.. You guys are somehow impatient..
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
well recovery not working in lollipop + LB is the only thing preventing me from trying lollipop in z3c.. so not really impatient just excited and eagerly waiting. hence my question about current stauts :o ;)

of course OP owe nothing to me, and if he minds my question will just retire it ;) :angel:
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
Go ahead and try it. Even without recovery or r/w access to system we can still dd to/from the entire system partition (with root) in order to flash a different system.

To backup current KK system partition to sd card:

su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard1/system.img

To restore backup of KK system partition from sd card:

su
dd of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system if=/sdcard1/system.img
reboot

Then use flashttool to flash everything except system and userdata.

:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
thanks but i see it a little complicated. also i would need recovery and root in lollipop because of xposed and gravity box (i'm not upgrading to LP until I'm sure i can I install also xposed and gb..) but that's ot here i guess :o

thanks anyway but i think I'll wait for working recovery in LB that would be much easier [emoji14]
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
I did already on Z3 LB and don't regret but understand the necessity of Xposed... I could also wait a bit until recovery and stable Xposed available but I am a bit impatient :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Zwulf:
Two reasons for Xposed: XPrivacy and Greenify. There is no privacy setting for stock, not even an incomplete one like CM Privacy Guard. Any app could know anything about you... your contacts, contents of your SMS and other messages, all accounts you own including username, device ID, Android ID, IMEI, real name (from Facebook or G+) huge amount of metadata (which person you call / write to from where and when) and connecting all this data... I wonder why so many people don't care about giving away such sensitive data (they'd never tell their neighbour) to companies... But that's OT, sorry. Also with Greenify XPosed modules the already great battery life gets a lot better.

[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
As for my a week long experience I can say that only thing that got much better in LP is wifi. I got now better signal.. But considering downgrading back to KK and wait for things to settle perhaps until next version or update.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
only thing I miss from lollipop are lockscreen notifications actually... and maybe quick tiles too if they can be modded via gravity box.... :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] mickyw1980:
I'm considering the same, think I'll flash kk back this morning
[Sony Cross-Device General] FSRBIKER:
ACdisplay and Nils locker apps both do lock screen notifications better then Lollipop.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
wow thanks my friend! I'm trying NILS and it seems very nice, exactly what I was looking for! I've tried many alternative lock screens so far but none of them was working really good, this is very nice instead not too intrusive and it integrates with the lockscreen you are using! :) great thanks again! :good: :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] paratox:
can i flash a XZDualRecovery 2.8.3 Advanced Stock Kernel Lollipop for SGP621, SGP641, SGP651 on SGP611 or would this be a bad idea?

i would like to use the XZDualRecovery for Lollipop on SGP611 but could not find a version for my device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I would wait until I have released the new kernel builder... and flashing a kernel which is not meant for your device is a bad idea, no matter how you look at that. I'd say, wait for the update and have a kernel.sin file handy to upload and have it converted.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lordriguez:
Oh no anything but not that ! Very bads news for People who can't unlock their bootloader ! By the way [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] big thanks for your hard work
[Sony Cross-Device General] ptmaniac:
Thanks Nut for all your effort and work trying to fix the recovery for us, i was already expecting SEandroid to give a lot of trouble but i had hope you could find a workaround for it... do you think something like safestrap recovery and roms could be used on our sony devices? i really don't like the idea of running full roms from the sdcard but for us with unlockable bootloaders would be better than nothing :)

I'm going to try to sell / exchange my z2 for an unlocked BL one as i don't think we'll be able to fully exploit 5.0 on a LB as before :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] tndb:
I had that exact same problem as you, found out that it was an app called eCID that messed up the sound, after disabling the app or uninstalling it (e.g disable autorun for now and force closing the app or reboot phone) I havent had any issues with sound at all so check that if u have eCID or any other similar app :)

Dont have issue with no3 and not with no4 either but im running nova launcher so maybe thats why. Running D5803_23.1.A.0.690_R4C_Telenor SE if that makes any difference
[Sony Cross-Device General] Kussie:
I've successfully got root on my z2 tablet by flashing a prerooted zip. But I don't have any rw permissions to /system and I sorely miss it. I've seen people have gotten it back in here by using a newer (or revised version of 2.8.3) XZDR but I've tried running the latest 2.8.3 (installer version) off of the site with no luck.

Am I missing something?

Before I go through and backup TA, unlock my bootloader and reinstall lollipop for my Xperia Z3; Does NUTs recovery work correctly? Does Xposed (for lollipop) work correctly? Is system and SD writable?

Thanks in advance! :)

Oh and if you have any tips for links with good writeups on how to go through with it all (mainly unlock, root for unlocked bootloader and a stable stock lollipop rom) I'd love it if you shared :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Kussie:
Yes I have. Still the same issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zombiej79:
So how's it looking for people with lb?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Just read couple articles above....
[Sony Cross-Device General] zouden:
Unfortunately not. I'll make it bold so that other people will see this:

Xposed does not currently work on Xperia or Touchwiz roms.

Users are reporting a bootloop when activating modules. So even when Nut updates the recovery to make it easier to install Xposed, it will not work until Rovo89 makes Xposed compatible. This could be months away, given that he's probably working on Samsung compatibility first.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Desperanto86:
no bootlopls
[Sony Cross-Device General] nhoc_huhu:
One way you can use Xposed, U must wipe davikcache/ART every boot. and you don't bootloop :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Cross-Device General] zouden:
How can you wipe cache without a recovery?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tribemac:
If you have a unlocked bootloader you can have a recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zouden:
Oh of course. Still, wiping cache each boot sounds pretty annoying given how long it takes to rebuild the ART cache each time.
