You need to be rooted. The "unrooted" install method will not work on 4.3 roms.

As you provided absolutely no useful information both times you posted, I have to guess that's your problem.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Thepho3nix:
How do o root it? Cuz. There's a toolkit but wont work for me, the log is something like unknown adress dont know. Any advice?

Although installer is not working on Xperia S (wrong paths), i've installed Philz and TWRP manually and they are working, with mounting issues but working nevertheless (due to incorrect lunfile paths... and probably mounting points too)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Olivier:
These are all known issues. Remember the Xperia S releases are still a WIP and experimental. We're working on it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] timchew:
What's the version that works with xperia Z 4.4.2? I tried with beta 123 and the phone got into a bootloop.
[Sony Cross-Device General] almostthere:
You're on locked or unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zippy01:
123 works on mine, you must have a deodex rom
[Sony Cross-Device General] timchew:
I'm on rajeev rom which is deodex.

I'm on locked BL.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zippy01:
I think that it doesn't work with deodexed rom

ZR is only C5502 and 5503 you have said in main post

:D
[Sony Cross-Device General] sijav:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Oh common the TWRP in latest version for ZR is pretty large ... care to fix it?

thanks :)

EDIT: ALSO, it is C5502 and C5503 not C5602, C5603 LOL :))

another EDIT: why don't you add aroma file manager? it's great it has terminal and every thing we need! you just need to put aromafm.zip into /clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip and it's not more than 1.5MBs!
[Sony Cross-Device General] NoSubstitute:
Is there anyway to install this in fastboot mode?

My Xperia Z refuses to boot into recovery, after what seems to be a failed DIY ROM flash, and I have only managed to get it to boot into fastboot mode. In another thread someone suggested I try reflashing my recovery, hence my question.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
TWRP needs to be fixed again yes...

How the he'll did I get the type designation so dang wrong? :confused: weird.

Not adding aromafm is a choice, it's easily added by the user's who want it.

Answered on the diy thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ChinmayKunkikar:
Are you working on this [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] NamenIos:
On the Xperia ZL the backlight won't turn of when TWRP when backing up/restoring/flashing and not touching the screen. The screen turns black but the backlight won't turn off. This is on the latest version and on most (if not all) betas. The screen is black but the backlight is still on. Not sure if it is intended to work that way or if other phones have the same problem.

There is a similar issue when you use the chargemon of the Xperia Z for the Xperia ZL. If you have the wrong chargemon(.stock when dual recovery is installed), shutdown your phone and connect it to the charger the backlight won't turn off (but of course only with the wrong chargemon).
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=2928758]namenlos[/MENTION] no, it's not how it's supposed to work, thank you for this useful bug report :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] dhchris:
Hello friends,

I flashed the Version for my TabZ and the device rebooted after der installation to TWRP.

Then I choose "Reboot to System" and the device start correctly.

After a second reboot (by myself) to recovery, the old CWM-Recovery starts up after pressing "Vol-Up" or "Vol-Down".

But not one of the TWRP/PhilZ Recoveries. :(

What did I wrong?

Regards,

Chris
[Sony Cross-Device General] John98Zakaria:
KitKat ZR

TeamWinRecovery Doesn't work on ZR

It's in an wrong alignment and buttons are too big and most of them are hidden (as the resolution is enormous )
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Which recovery package did you install first then?

To use xzdualrecovery you need to wait for the green led with the dual vibration (not sure if that actually happens on the tab z?). You can also use NDRUtils to reboot to whatever recovery you wish to use.

It's an already known issue, but thank you for taking the time to report it :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] dhchris:
Thank you, now it works.

I don't know why, but I tried to install it again and now the green LED flashes and the Vol-key brings me into Twrp/PhillZ.

Kind regards, Chris
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mike Austin:
Just a quicky. I can get to recovery via NDRutils but not from power on, so I may have the procedure wrong. Hold power on till it vibes. After a few seconds, more vibes and green light. Then press volume down. OK?
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Yup - up for Philz, down for TWRP
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mike Austin:
OK, then there must be something wrong with the phone or the installation. I installed the flashable zip with an updated ROM.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You could try to delete xzdr.prop from the xzdualrecovery folder and reboot to see if that kicks it into action...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Z2 packages now online. As there is no LB root for it yet, do not expect the rootless option to work :cowboy:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mike Austin:
Bingo! Thanks [NUT]
[Sony Cross-Device General] Michealtbh:
Dual recovery kernel working great on my Z2, thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Thanks for the confirmation :)

I've of course tested it myself before releasing... But that won't say everything :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Michealtbh:
Found a bug, both TWRP and CWM think my Z2 is a Z1

Just to add - I was trying to flash a build of CM11. The updater script checks build.prop for device name but mine correctly says D6503
[Sony Cross-Device General] netharshal13:
How to install it can you pls guide me ?

I am on Xperia Z2 locked bootloader.

Thanks

Waiting for you reply.:laugh:
[Sony Cross-Device General] rameshkotibani:
helpme

hai sir cannot restore backup through philz touch recovery it shows error while restoring /data
[Sony Cross-Device General] Michealtbh:
Only possible with unlocked bootloader
[Sony Cross-Device General] netharshal13:
:crying: Thanks ....
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That's correct, it's a straight copy of the z1 recoveries for testing... I'll fix that next version.

If you flash cm11 it's better to flash it's kernel first and then use their kernel recovery to flash the rom.

What model?
[Sony Cross-Device General] rameshkotibani:
xperia ZL kk .230
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Okay, then if you want help, send/attach the logs from RIGHT AFTER a failed restore attempt. The exact error message on screen would be handy too...

Remember I can't help you on the basis of "it fails" only :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] khan663399:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] i am using xperia z kk 4.4.2 lock bootloader. I have xz dual recovery 2.7.123. But I can't charge my mobile when I switched off my phone. Because it's automatically turn on when I connect it to charger. And I don't have chargemon.stock in system/bin.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sijav:
Hi [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] , any new updates?

we can't still use TWRP :(

NDRUtils won't reboot to selected recovery, recovery won't change.

PhilzTouch has some problems with metadata and restoring a flashable zip rom, So we really need twrp or vanilla recovery :D

thanks for your hard work :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Gold_Phenix:

xperia zr 4.4.2

i cant charge offline using ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.flashable.zip .can you check it, please!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
How did you install it? There is supposed to be a binary called chargemon.stock inside /system/bin

If that's missing, ask anyone with a zr to send it to you. That will allow you to charge offline.
[Sony Cross-Device General] link_it:
??

now, i have flashed your recovery. there is chargemon binary in system/bin. now, can i replace chargemon file with stock(with right permission) without install your zip???
[Sony Cross-Device General] Ticklefish:
Just a quick question..is there any way to set the time and date on PhilZ Touch? Every time I load it up, it's convinced that it's 1pm on the 2nd of January..
[Sony Cross-Device General] NamenIos:
Most likely a bug with the new 4.4 Kernel. The problem is also present on the XZL.

Are the DEVDB bugreports prefered Nut? Then I would report this bug and the one before (backlight not turning of on XZL in TWRP) also in DEVDB.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Before you do anything:

/system/bin/chargemon is a script (open it to see in a filemanager app), it should smaller then 20kb in size.

/system/bin/chargemon.stock is the original binary, it should be larger then 50kb.

If chargemon.stock is missing and 'chargemon' is a script, try to get the binary from anyone here on XDA for your model/rom and put it inside /system/bin called chargemon.stock and make sure permissions are set -rwxr-xr-x (755) on it.

This should restore off-line charging.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That would be appreciated, that way they won't get buried among all the how-to and misc issue messages...
[Sony Cross-Device General] rameshkotibani:
thanks

can not restore back up through philz touch,only restore through twrp,and how to restore custom restore through twrp like only system,only data
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Restore -> Choose a backup -> Tick the boxes of the partitions you wish to restore. Simple really.
[Sony Cross-Device General] rameshkotibani:
ok thanks sir
[Sony Cross-Device General] punkt:
i accidently updated busybox and lost parts of root and dualrecovery :(

how can i fi this?

tried using installer without success and also any root script. the only thing realy working is r/w on system part within es file explorer.

running monx 757 rom on LB
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'm wondering why xzdr doesn't do it by itself... But check if busybox is stored inside /system/.XZDualRecovery as the later versions should restore a good busybox to your system... If its there, use it to replace the one inside /system/xbin. Please send me the logs too... I want to see why it fails to restore it by itself...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Drockk_Xm:
me too lost XZDualRecovery

only red light blue light gone :(

help pls
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eeeh... can you remove all the logs and reboot, then see which logs return and send me those? The stage 2 log (from dualrecovery.sh) is completely empty. Also include the XZDR.prop file please.

Stage one worked fine, provided it was a recent one.

If you can check /cache if there is a XZDualRecovery folder there... that would be great...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Drockk_Xm:
only one log return
[Sony Cross-Device General] punkt:
sadly i dont have them anymore. startet testing and had to realise that i lost root and also r/w system ability. on the surface supersu showed everything correct, but under the hood nothing worked anymore :rolleyes:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
This one says enough, thanks!

/system/bin/dualrecovery.sh can you check if it's there?

Right, that's what I was afraid of indeed... it's also the reason why I tried to build in some safeties... What XZDR version did you use until this happened?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Drockk_Xm:
yes dualrecovery.sh in system/bin

i am using ur 757 stock rom

few days cwm working well but suddenly not working :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you check if you can mount system rw?

Also, check if /system/xbin/disableric exists
[Sony Cross-Device General] punkt:
2.7.121
[Sony Cross-Device General] Drockk_Xm:
mount system rw ok also disableric

superuser mod was my last flashed file via cwm (framwork.jar)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Whups ... let me check the mutator... might have made a typo if it errors out in aroma :x

--- AFTER CHECKING EDIT ---

DOH! It was a typo indeed... i'm new to AROMA and it has some catches ... i fixed it, you can re-download it now, that one will work OK. Sorry man :(

--- AFTER THINKING EDIT ---

Heh, because i know you do not have a chargemon.stock and tried to install recovery again, i know why your recovery script went in to a bootloop ... it probably created a backup of the old script, which it called upon during boot because you did not try to enter recovery, which caused it to run an older version of itself over and over again :eek:

Thats a good thing, now i know what is causing this, as I only recently discovered the chargemon binary backup script did not work as intended :silly:

Now i know how to fix it once and for all! :victory:

--- PHILOSOPHICAL EDIT ---

"Assumption is the mother of all f*ck-ups"

is more then applicable here :cowboy:
[Sony Cross-Device General] hadramos:
Hi,

I root my Xperia Z (.434) by Bin4ry (Root MANY ANDROID)

And I installed CWM recovery 6.0.2.8

Just for confirmed the manipulation for updating recovery to XZDualRecovery.

I just have to install the zip file lockeddualrecovery2.3-RELEASE.zip (install using a previously installed recovery) by CWM recovery ?

But why backuped chargemon because it is already done by your script ?

And what does chargemon and why make a backup ?

Thanks for your help
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aresmar:
Haha it is ok man I just lost a little bit of data not too much.

Now If I flash your new mutator I wont need anything more right? Hopefully ;)

Just one thing when I tried to reboot my phone I saw a screen which I never saw before. There was a triangle at the center and inside a tool icon. Also a progress bar at the bottom. Than phone booted ok. What does that mean?

Edit:

m8 your new mutator doesnt work I am stuck at (c) 2012 by amarullz xda... line

It doesnt move on :(

Can you please have a look urgent.

Edit2:

Rebooted by pressing down vol+ and power. It is ok but I dont have chargemon.stock still. You know a way to do it some other way? I think this script doesnt do anything at all atm.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
chargemon is renamed to chargemon.stock because it allows your phone to be charged while it is turned off, so that makes it kinda essential, doesn't it? :)

The zip you downloaded can be used to install this as long as you have a working recovery, yes. If the ROM integrated recovery IS XZDualRecovery, you can update it using the updater ZIP.

Reply to your edit: reboot your phone and try again. AROMA still is not bugfree on our phones...

-EDIT-

The triangle screen is a low level firmware update process. it's perfectly normal to happen if needed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aresmar:
Ok I will try to flash the zip again with CWM this time. I hope it works now. :eek:

And I dont know why a low level firmware update is needed I only recovered from a nandroid restore. heh.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Aroma Worked but:

Installing C660x chargemon...

set_perm: some changes failed

it said.

Edit:

Oh come on I lost superuser now! :crying:

Tried installing superuser with your mutator but it failed too.

checking for existing superuser installition

file_getprop: failed stat "/tmp/installed.prop": no such file or directory.

Mate get me out of this please :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
o_O :eek: o_O

*bangs head on desk*

Grrrr :mad:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aresmar:
it deleted my superuser when trying to install chargemon :)

Cause I remember it reporting superuser is old replaceing or something like that but it didnt replace it I guess just deleted superuser. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yah... thats what you get when a dev tries to do a 'quick fix' ... things tend to stick around which are no longer needed or are intended for something else :crying:

Re-download, AGAIN ... i checked and double checked but did not test it yet. Try it now, install superuser first. If it buggers out on the installed.prop, ignore that and continue, it should not matter when you are installing... but hell, I've been proven wrong more then once today :(

Then try to install chargemon again. It should work just fine... but it might have ignored some stuff because of earlier failures...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aresmar:
I will try now mate. If you are here I am happy to try till you fix it :)

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

I am sorry m8 same errors again :(

Tried superuser gave same error.

Tried chargemon.stock same error about set perm.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Grrr... i just completed testing it myself, for me it didn't give any errors ... :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aresmar:
Cant you do a zip package to install superuser and fix chargemon.stock without this aroma thing. :)

It didnt give errors??? on CWM or TWRP???

I am downloading from here? http://www.fun-industries.nl/xda/

Tried again now with TWRP it doesnt even begin the aroma at all.

I am restoring the backup nandroid again now. At least It will fix my superuser.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Try using TWRP, just noticed you where doing it in CWM... AROMA in CWM gives the most problems...

- EDIT -

Nooooo! ... no need to restore the backup, just reboot your phone and try again, using TWRP. AROMA getting stuck at starting up is a known bug from AROMA.

I can't do a mutator without AROMA as the regular updater-script does not allow for making choices as you go...

- EDIT 2 -

You know, you can just restore the system partition using 'advanced restore' in CWM... that will prevent losing data as the problems you are having are from the ROM, not your apps.

On a side note: i need to be away for a little while now... my time to troubleshoot this right now is up. I'll be back in about 3 1/2 hours or so...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aresmar:
Oh well I did the restore :(

Now what should I try just the chargemon.stock? or superuser first than chargemon?

I got superuser now tho :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Try the chargemon only now. using TWRP.

Re-read my post before yours... important edit there...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aresmar:
Ok TWRP fixed my chargemon.stock I guess cause I was able to see the battery icon at the center.! :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] burnout11:
I was @ .434 and had the dual recovery's installed. then updated to stock 535 all perfect.

rebooted and tried to look if the cwm is still there - now im stuck at a grey triangle symbol with some tools in it and a blue loading screen.

but nothing happens.

any ideas how i can do a safe reboot ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You can't, you'll have to wait for it to finish... It's something 253 just does...
[Sony Cross-Device General] burnout11:
about more than 5 Minutes ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I've read about it that some people wait on that screen in excess of 15 minutes, for me personally it was just 30 seconds... So yes, just have to wait it out...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Minotavrs:
thanks m8 works great !!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm... I believe I improved the backup/restore procedure after that version, so it should not happen again if you have 123/124 installed now.

Hmm... first of all, can you link me to or attach the flashable zip

you

used? (not the thread, the exact zip you used)

Install the latest XZDR again using the installer and see if that kicks it back in to action...

Also, check the permissions on /system/bin/dualrecovery.sh and see if it's set 755 (-rwxr-xr-x)... if not, set this value to it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Drockk_Xm:
i used this mod (attacchment)

also used latest BusyBox then uninstall it
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Install the latest XZDR and try to get in to recovery again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Drockk_Xm:
bro can u tell me whats is Stripped.ftf ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] timchew:
Stripped ftf, contains only the stock kernel.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It is off-topic here, but the stripped FTF files I make have the kernel, partitioning, bootloader, modem firmware and baseband files included. It has no content to overwrite(wipe) system, data, cache or apps_log.
[Sony Cross-Device General] nosidefcp:
wow...can i install this on my z2 with locked bootloader in order to finally flash custom roms?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I hate to quote myself....
[Sony Cross-Device General] nosidefcp:
i flashed it on my z2 and i cant get into recovery at all. i tried with power and vol up and down several times. the led wont turn on at any time. i tried with adb recovery and the phone just normal reboots
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Did you unlock your bootloader?

If the answer is no, any and all attempts are futile.
[Sony Cross-Device General] NamenIos:
Nut sure if it is the right place to ask, but I don't know a better one.

How do you pack your cpio images with links? I can pipe all the files including subdirectories with find into cpio -o but for the busybox links I get errors. I wanted to try replacing charger in the ramdisk with the original one (they have different checksums), as I suspect this binary to cause the always on backlight. If that won't help I maybe look further into the libraries, even though that should not be the problem and the cause should lie in the files in boot.img/ramdisk imo.

I've also uptaded busybox with stericsson v1.21.1. some of applications works with only stericson.

After update, dual recovery stopped working, also if if sdcard is plugged i get bootloop.

Only way to boot properly is unplug sdcard.

There is no folder in sdcard about dual recovery.

I dont know which log application are you using. i can get some test logs.

Phone xperia z c6603. 10.5.a.0.230

dual recovery version 2.7.123

tried to installer version. Boot into recovery once. Next reboot does not responds to volume buttons.

Tried to uninsatll stericsson busybox, but application warns me about, could not uninstall properly. If i unistall busybox, phone will stuck in bootloop.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Did you read the detailed FAQ that [NUT] took the time to write in post #2?

TWRP Manager force me to install stericson version. Otherwise application does not process anything.
