I'm going do that, just that my cardreader didn't work.

And I am afraid the "chargemon.stock" is corrupt, don't know why.

bcoz during phone off and plug power cord, phone will turn on, "Sony" appear then reboot... so cannot charge.

Will try it later, thank you for your support.

For you reference, I am on Stock C6603 4.3 BL locked.
[Sony Cross-Device General] -=meinereeiner=-:
Now I did it on double vibration (befor I used your NDR Utils) with the same result. Below the first lines from the recovery.log:

" __bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for localtime! __bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for GMT! __bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for posixrules! Starting TWRP 2.6.3.0 on Fri Jan 2 12:00:10 2009..."

Maybe it helps. I think the test with adb shell gives me the same result,because I did't with an older version and the first lines from this recovery.log looks similar. I can do it again this evening.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Its odd that you don't get a led trigger, it should at least do that...

Did you ONLY update xzdualrecovery and nothing else before the bootloop occurred?

My experience is that it does make an important difference, so please do test it in adb shell while in recovery...

The bionic messages are caused by the lack of a timezone database in the recoveries. All recoveries do that. It can be ignored completely, the xzdualrecovery recoveries use the sony method to update time...
[Sony Cross-Device General] johan8:
Yes, I was just using XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.77-BETA.flashable.zip nothing else.

Still don't know what cause the reboot.

I have a bad feeling that "chargemon.stock" is corrupted(don't know why), I think I need to flash the rom again.....

I will try it later see if any luck.

And I have studied the script a little bit.

Is it possible to make it more safe by doing these: (little suggestion)

1. kill ric before everything

2. check /storage/sdcard1/xzdualrecovery/chargemonstock - (something like "donotrun") that force copy stock chargemon from microSD to /system/bin/chargemon.stock
[Sony Cross-Device General] timberwolf60:
If I facing such a reboot problems. The easiest way is downgraded to 534, rooted and followed nut on the 4.3 xzrecovery thread. I am sure your problems will disappear.

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] there is not thread foe your recoveries so i'll ask here. Itried with both xzdr 2.7.75 and 2.7.77 to backup using twrp to sd card and it told me it cannot access the folder, so I had to backup to internal memory... Older recoveries from you worked just fine. 2.7.71 backed up to sd card.

Btw I can confirm time and date fix for 2.7.77
[Sony Cross-Device General] johan8:
I am using XZ C6603.

It will be a problem if downgrade, it will trigger NFC "upgrade" then cause reboot......

I don't want to wipe /data, I haven't do the latest backup....... :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
1: ric isn't running at the time chargemon runs, it's started a few steps in the init process later. The only thing required when it concerns ric is the securityfs implementation on the Xperia Z1 which gets enabled right after the chargemon process runs... But as I said, it's for the Z1 and the XZ does not have this problem (yet?).

2: The problem with that is that the stock chargemon binary can be different between ROM versions. I already check if chargemon.stock exists and if so, the installer and flashable package don't touch it. If chargemon.stock is missing, the flashable package will check if chargemon is a script or a binary, if it's a script it _should_ not copy it to chargemon.stock.

Not sure what I can improve on that...

Don't forget (just a FYI, NoFI!) XZDualRecovery is available for 5 different devices, johan8 has an Xperia Z, not a Z1: the installation is different between the Z1 and XZ, the XZ doesn't have the semi-root issues the Z1 has on 4.3...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes there is :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

Hmm... maybe TWRP simply doesn't need the SELinux fix that PhilZ does require ... I'll check it. Thanks for the report. :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
Thanks! If it wasn't clear I have access to read from the sd card, I flashed Zips from it, just cannot backup to it
[Sony Cross-Device General] johan8:
I understand the installation script won't overlap chargemon(script) as chargemon.stock.

And I won't change any of your scripts.

Just that don't know what cause the reboot, and no Red LED..... looks like chargemon.stock won't run.

What I did was:

- Boot into recovery (it was 2.7.76)

- flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.77-BETA.flashable.zip

- reboot....

I believe that is not your problem, but something goes wrong in my XZ.

EDIT:-

with "donotrun", I saw Red LED.....then reboot.....

tried downgrade..... but can't boot .....

need to wipe data.....

;(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Last question: what format is your filesystem on the sdcard? FAT32 or exFAT?
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
No idea! How can I check? Tried a few apps from app store but alas... I have SanDisk 16gb class 4 card, 3 YO!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The (for me anyway) easiest way is to use the android terminal app. Start it and type the following:

su
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1

It should give you a general ID of the partition type.

Well... Then I suggest you use Settings -> Storage to figure out where the space went... If not all is accounted for, use a root explorer to check the contents of /data/media to see if your backups done to internal storage are stored on a wrong location.

Besides this check, FYI: internal storage and the app storage are on the same partition, so if you have a lot of (or just large) backups or a lot of music this will also eat up app storage space.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
aye, i forgot android is also linux :P i use ubuntu on my laptop.

anyway, fat32 it is
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmmph... That's strange. Are you sure there is enough space left on your sdcard to make the backups? Generally it takes about 1Gb of extra free space before twrp and Philz will allow a new backup to be created...
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
Yep. I have 6 gb... Wait, i'll try again and give you exact output

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] this is the output

E: unable to create folder: external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/BH90L...

E: failed to maek backup folder.

now i've went in file browser in TWRP and this is the right path...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm... this starts to sound like a maximum for FAT32 has been reached ...

Are you able to empty and reformat the sdcard to try what it does on an empty one? No need to rush it, but please do test that for me.

I'll request the MOD's to move the posts on XZDR to the XZDR thread, so if you come back here and find the posts are gone, be sure to visit the XZDR BETA thread in the Cross Device section :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
lol, hmm i really doubt that, as my card has been almost full in the last month and emptied again... i had 3 backups there and i just deleted them...

and in the past when the card was full it used to tell me the card is full and theres no space... never this error...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No it's not that, I was talking about the FAT32 file allocation table or number of files registered in it...

It's clear you have more then enough space free, I am suspecting it might be related to some of the limits of FAT32.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
ohhh, ok, so what should i format it to? ext4 should work fine with both aosp and sony stock?

perhaps the card is too old and don't support ext4? i dunno. and we're talking about a full format here so that the file tree is cleared
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes, but you can use the PC for it too, connect it in MSC mode to allow the PC full access to it (this will make it unavailable from your phone while connected to the PC).

From that moment on it's a simple Mass Storage device and you can format it whatever you like. All kinds of formats are supported except NTFS.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Celestial Fury:
Is there another way to check the filesystem type of the SD Card - like using an App with a GUI? I am not comfortable using commands I'm unfamiliar with. I also cannot backup to my external SD Card with >40GB available space.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
None with a 100 accuracy... But you can use the pc with your phone connected in MSC mode and then some windows disk or partition tool...

Which recovery are you having this issue on?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tuzmaster_v2:
any support for xperia T please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Celestial Fury:
Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.76-BETA.installer. It only shows the internal SD Card directory and I can't go up a higher directory to get to the external SD Card or change to it somehow - unless I'm possibly missing an option?

Anyhow, I downloaded Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.77-BETA.installer and tried to install using both TWRP and PhilZ Touch by installing zip but both failed. Logs in PM (that last_log.4 refused to be copied! In the end I had to zip it internally before emailing it out). Version in my Sig.
[Sony Cross-Device General] timberwolf60:
2.7.76,Phil recovery can't detect ext sd card but no problem on twrp. On 2.7.77 both recovery no problem on detecting external sd card. BTW , what capacity of your msd? I used windows 7/32 to format my 64gb in exFAT and used guiformat for fat32. on my pc. You can downloaded guiformat from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28787173.

The backup time on 2.7.77 about 6 minutes on both recovery for a 2.8GB backup. Good. Did you moved system/bin/chargemon to somewhere before dualrecovery upgrading?

Unfortunately it didn't contain the last log...

If you try to flash again, connect the phone through USB and adb pull /tmp/recovery.log for the active log, right after it failed.

[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.78 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 2.7.78:

Updated PhilZ, patched to allow texfat mount through minivold, this will dramatically increase backup speed (Z1 and ZU).

Added trigger to make 'reboot recovery' work, thanks to [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION]

PhilZ Touch Recovery init will now set SELinux to permissive (as do Sony's own roms!)

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.

And the little tidbits keep on piling up :( Will it ever end? :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Celestial Fury:
My external SD Card is 64Gb. I used it straight out of the box without formatting so no idea what filesystem it is and am reluctant to use command lines to check. System/bin/chargemon is still where it is - only made a copy of it as stated in the guide for upgrading, to the SD Card.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well, then you can safely say it's exFAT (64Gb cards usually are).

Can you try a backup using 2.7.78 please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] timberwolf60:
I used Samsung 64gb. Straight way put into my S4. It worked but occasionally it auto unmount it from phone. So I reformatted once in windows PC to exFAT and then it works perfectly for me.

Can you please redownload and try once more? I've just checked the build .78 on my own z1 and it installed without issues next to being able to mount my exfat sdcard1...

Maybe it was a fluke or a download issue... Either way very confusing :confused:

[MENTION=5401012]Celestial Fury[/MENTION] then I will reupload it tonight... It's so weird :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] timberwolf60:
I facing the problems due to updating fron 77 to 78 by first removing chargemon out from /system/bin, which caused system folder became read only. So install failed. Root explorer can't changed to rw. So I flashed 534 and rooted,after that I was abled to install the 78 version. But phil recovery didn't recognised Mt fat32 64gb ext sd card. Finally I downgraded to 77 and all worked.

Post updated: sorry for wrong info above. Downloaded zu version so not working good. After downloaded the correct version and it worked perfectly. Cheers!

Guys, seriously... When updating xzdualrecovery versions there really is no need to create a backup, that was for other recovery releases which where getting old... It's from the early days of xzdualrecovery and during that time it was XZ and ZL only...

Especially on the Z1 with 4.3... DON'T TOUCH THE CHARGEMON SCRIPT!

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I am dumbfounded... I never changed anything on the tablet Z release in twrp since I fixed the time issues :x

What type of sdcard with what format and size? My apologies if you have to repeat yourself, I don't have the time to look up all the details...
[Sony Cross-Device General] olokos:
Any idea why scrolling through files lags on z1 C6903? I mean when you go to install and view current files on sdcard/externalsdcard
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It's obvious, both recoveries have this problem: all recovery graphics are rendered on the CPU ... and the CPU is not really suited for the task...

It's something you will have to live with until the developers find a way to speed it up... the only thing is: it will require the use of the GFX chipset... which will massively complicate the recovery code base...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4934266]thanhhii[/MENTION]

On the download site you can find XZDualRecovery 2.7.79 for the Z1 only, it should fix the semi-root issues for the latest ROM.

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] thanks u so much!

You are the best!

If Z series dont have u support so very sad! :good::good::good:

EDIT; i have flash this 2.7.79 but nothing change [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Still cant mount R/W huhu
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm...

There are a few things you need to check then:

Does /system/xbin/disableric exist? Is it executable? (755 or -rwxr-xr-x)

Does /sbin/ricc exist?

Does /sbin/ric exist and when you open it using a file manager, is it a script?

In android terminal, type

su
cat /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

What value does it show?

In android terminal, type

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

What does it say?

Try to answer them in that order and STOP at the first question you have to answer with NO.

Then report what answers you can give, in the same order of course :)

I'm not sure if we can fix soon, but I'll try to get it done as fast as I can ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] timberwolf60:
You can't mount R/W because you only have semi root, so any further installation of dualrecovery became failure. I facing this semi root problems due to flashing 2.7.79.

Before I already on full rooted 136 with dualrecovery 2.7.78. Updated to 2.7.79 which caused my phone became sami root. So I can't boot into twrp/phil recovery. I only owned my Z1 since 22 Jan 2014 and no more Samsung phone in future due to knox problems. I don't know any faster way but I can only flash 534, rooted it. Installed 2.7.78 dualrecovery. Fellow updated to 290. Tested ok then updated again to 136 with full root access. Finally I restored all data only by twrp. Reboot and enjoy!

BTW, 2.7.79 which don't like my Z1. Back to 2.7.78 and never facing sami root problems.

Which version of XZDualRecovery is working with Full root on Z1 with 14.2.A.1.136?

At this moment I'm using .290 FW and XZDualRecovery 2.7.78 and have full root and have the .136 FW available on PCC.

Also I have TA backups with BL locked and unlocked.

I think I'll do the following to update do .136:

Nandroid backup using TWRP.

Update using PCC.

Create the FTF for C6943 .136 FW.

Unlock bootloader and flash a kernel with recovery.

Root and Install XZDualRecovery then turn off.

Flash Stock .136 Kernel only using flashtool.

Restore data partition with my nandroid backup.

Restore TA (only if root is working 100%).

Then I'll upload the FTF and [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] will be able to create an update package to .136 for C6943 :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Happy new year to you dude ... sorry I wasn't able to fix it in time :(

Use my update-to package to update, there have been people who tried it in one step, but i think it's better to step up to .290 (including all of the ftf) and then flash .136 again...

You cant fix full root in 136 if Fresh install from 534 like fresh install 290 from 534???

And you said that can use this kernel in LB: C6903_14.2.A.1.136_kernel.img

But when i flash in fastboot it said cant write??
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You need to follow the complete op guides for both versions, _including_ the ftf files to not lose your imei.

When install every version i also flash the kernel ftf OF COURSE!

But now when in 290 to 136 still lost imei

Forget all!

And 2.7.79 you should delete it!

Because if install new Rom dont have recovery and use this => Cant have recovery => must use 2.7.78!

AT ALL, NOW WAITING FOR YOU NEW RELEASE PATCH N THE FUTURE TO GET FULL ROOT WHEN FRESH INSTALL 136 FROM 534!

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

I was with .290, rooted and with XZDualRecovery 2.7.77 (full root).

I did the following:

Nandroid backup (just as a safeguard).

Created a FTF for C6943 with .136 FW.

Unlocked BL by restoring TA (from a backup made when BL was unlocked).

Updated to .136 using flashtool.

Rebooted sometimes to let the ROM settle.

Flashed a kernel with recovery (doomkernel v06).

Rooted and Installed XZDualRecovery 2.7.78 using TWRP then turned off.

Flashed Stock .136 Kernel only using flashtool.

Now I have semi root and XZDualRecovery 2.7.78. I'm waiting for an update to get full root again! Please use me as a guinea pig :P

To test root I did the following:

And I got the following:

Have a go at it with this one, I've tested it on my Z1 with locked and unlocked bootloader on the stock (unpatched) kernel :)

If remounting does not work straight away after booting, give it one

full

minute (60 seconds) and then try again.

Oh and RHBH ... share that FTF with me please :D
