XZDualRecovery 2.8.25-RELEASE released!

RELEASE Change log:

http://nut.xperia-files.com/html/xzdualrecovery-change-log.html
[Sony Cross-Device General] aidy.lucas:
Latest version 2.8.25 t2u release working perfectly on Xperia M2 as do all other t2u release's
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
Also working well on the C3/C3 Dual (Using T2U recovery)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
TWRP 3.0.0 released with some major changes :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Yep, more info Here
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
As ever, a big update like this comes with quite the risk of bugs, it means I have to treat this version as beta, simply because XZDR 2.8 is a stable release. I know teamwin works hard and does some proper testing before release, but some of the updates are inherently dangerous on older devices...

I hope to be releasing 2.9 beta together with TWRP 3.x.x in the not too distant future.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Krunal:
TWRP 3.0.0

As you know that twrp 3.0.0 is already released.. So I was wondering when you will update the NUT XZ dual recovery with that..

I tried to update my recovery using TWRP manager but no luck.. It did said that recovery installation was successful but when I rebooted back to recovery it was still 2.8.7 ....

My Device: Xperia ZL c6503 Odin Locked Bootloader
[Sony Cross-Device General] sling-shot:
Please read NUT's post above your's.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ryanrudolf:
just wanted to share that im using TWRP 3.0 on my Xperia ZL, flashed directly on FOTA partition. i've tested flashing zips and it works ok. im running PA btw.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DylanLee:
Thank you for your hard work!

Does it work on Xperia UL SOL22?
[Sony Cross-Device General] vikash1994b:
Thnkz for ur hard work [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

im having one little issue on my z2 d6502.im unable to clear cache using any recovery.when i wipe cache it stays on the wipe processing page nd doesnt complete.i waited for almost 5 minutes bt it didnt finish so i had to forcefully reboot the device.any fix for this or this is a known bug.

Update: i was successful in wiping cache partiton in philz recovery bt it took 2 minutes to wipe.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Krunal:
Can you tell what exactly did you do??

Coz I also have xperia ZL and I tried almost every way to flash the 3.0.0 version of twrp

I used twrp manager, Flashify, rashr, using terminal emulator but all of them failed... Actually not failed they all said that flashing recovery was successful but when I goto recovery it still says I have 2.8.7 version... Edit: I have my bootloader locked and using NUT XZ dual recovery latest... Please help me
[Sony Cross-Device General] r06ert0:
Hello, can you help me to understand one question? I have clear stock Tablet Z3C with unlocked bootloader on my hands and i want to flash last version of your custom kernel (2.8.25) via fastboot. Kernel builder does everything well but it makes kernels based on previous version (2.8.21). So how can i get boot.img with 2.8.25 XZDR?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If you used all of those tools on a locked bootloader, be happy your device still boots :eek:

The way XZDR works is based on the 'old way' to add recovery to it for Sony (-Ericsson) devices. This means the recovery ramdisk is stored on system and can only be replaced by replacing the ramdisk on system.

All the tools you named flash it either to /recovery (which is a partition that DOES NOT EXIST on sony devices) or to the FOTAkernel partition, where modifying that partition on a locked bootloader device will result in a soft-brick.

If you don't know what you're doing, please DON'T... just DON'T. :rolleyes:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Krunal:
TWRP 3.0.0

Okay so that means I have to wait for the official release for XZ dual recovery with twrp 3.0.0 for locked bootloader.

And I know buddy what I'm doing... I always keep backup of whatever I'm messing with.....:):):)

But it's strange after the first time I tried twrp manager to install 3.0 ...it said successful and when I tried second time it said that I'm already running that.. So according to you, you said that it flashes to directory which doesn't exists so how is it possible for twrp manager to detect the already installed recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
They are the same (recovery version wise). 2.8.25 has only had changes to the (flashable-)installer and the locked bootloader init hijacking scripts.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ryanrudolf:
sorry for confusion im using a different ROM and the way it boots / access recovery is different from XZDR. just wanted to share that the latest TWRP works good on my end. if anyway i can help in testing or whatnot i'd be glad to

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, it's a recovery alternative
[Sony Cross-Device General] Krunal:
Thanks.. But I feel safer with a recovery though ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] LitoNi:
ermmmmm is Generic Hierarchical a FS?

okay i may know why, as you suggested it might be in the wrong FS. I took out the SD card plugged it into the computer and it told me to format it.

im backing up my sd card files right now, which FS format should i format it to?

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You can choose either exFAT to be able to use files larger then 2gb or FAT32 if you can live with that limitation: both will work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] LitoNi:
okay, its not working formatting through the computer, it cant format to its original size. i ended up having like less than a MB for some reason. I chose exfat or fat or N sth. anyway

im trying to format it through twrp, hoping that would work. but before i do, may i ask what i should be setting the settings?

EXT size: ____?

swap size: 64 right?

ext3 or ext4?

thanks!

[Sony Cross-Device General] LitoNi:
Okay after a Huge huge ride I figured out it was my SD card reader that was causing the problem. Using another one right now,

I formatted to exfat but neither of the recovery can mount it. I dont know why but it just wont mount to it. There is no option to format my card to fat32. Second option is to format to NTFS, which it will not work clearly.

Do I have a faulty card? If so I can still return or exchange a new one. Please advise.

Thank you for your hard work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Could you please enter TWRP and go to Advanced -> Command Line, then type:

[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
As far as I know TWRP has a bug about the external sd Card. You have to extract and insert the SD card while in TWRP recovery, and then, your SD will be readed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
AFAIK that issue has been solved, but it won't hurt to try I guess :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
i just tyied that and i had to extract and insert the sd to be readed by twrp. So, I saw tha sd card on file manager.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'll re-report the bug to teamwin, can anyone confirm this issue?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tungstwenty:
On my device it's working properly.

Upon entry to TWRP:

- /external_sd is mounted and pointed to the inserted sdcard (exfat formatted).

- /data is also mounted and acessible

- /internal_sd is not mounted, but /sdcard is (internal sd)

Note: I'm still running TWRP 2.6.0.0
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm, could you update to the latest BETA and retry please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] LitoNi:
sorry. should have posted this earlier. Solved it !

anyway, really appreciate all your help. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Philz touch CWM is working just great in 2.7.14 Beta. ADB in recovery, sideload, mount USB storage, Aroma File Manager, format ExtSDcard as exFat - all working flawlessly. Haven't tried TWRP functions yet. TBO, I don't think I will need it now that you have included full touch CWM ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
At first, sd card is the internal memory, so you have to touch to change the sdcard internal to external sd. On that screen, your external sd is shown at 0kb., and if you try to select, there is an error on the log that saya that it can't be mounted.

At this stage, if you extracr the sd card, and re insert it, then you see its size and it can be selected.

Yes, it works very good, even yo can mount the external sd to be used with windows.

Nice work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] OrBy:
I would not jump on TWRP 3.0.0.0 right away - tried it on my N7 (2013) and found it flashed really slow, booted slow, and over all seemed like it was not there yet. Not saying it's total junk - it may even work fine on the Sony's but I did even up flashing my N7 back to get it running right.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That's the main thing why I don't jump in on a major release right away, especially if I'm on a RELEASE chain. Thanks for the report.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, CWM has been removed from 2.8.25, it's only with philz and TWRP

I was trying to flash a rom that required CWM. After searching the Internet I thought I was on the right path until I corrupted my recovery. Please help me to regain recovery...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well, when your device boots, notice the LED. Does it burn green for 3 seconds? Does it burn red for 2 seconds? It should be visible right before it will start booting your ROM.

If not, try installing it by using the installer package (or the combined package, for 2.8.25). Maybe your lucky enough and still have a properly working root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] KobySam87:
The LED doesn't show green at all, it shows red for 2 seconds then it boots to homescreen.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

After trying combined package for 2.8.25, I still don't have access to recovery. What can I do now?

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Euh, you had it set to true before doing the update? If so, something isn't quite working right.

Did you run the XZDR-Removaltool before flashing the latest version by any chance?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
No i had it already on true in 2.8.25 but install the latest through the .bat file like usual and it was set back on false, so i set it manual back on true but all is working fine bro :)

“Sent From MWE V9.5.0 On My Z3”
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Okay, I will have a look at that, it should read the existing file and not change it back to the default... that it is doing that is a bit odd.

EDIT:

Been looking at the code, I found that a change I did a while back was reverted at some point (had a fight with Git around that time, it fubarred quite a lot, including CWM from what I gather). I remembered I had changed the way it worked, but it was back to simply setting default values...

Next version will contain that fix.
[Sony Cross-Device General] juniorhxcx:
Good morning everyone!

Gentlemen, I have a question, if you can help me I appreciate it.

I did the process to unlock the bootloader and it worked until I installed the CM12.1. After I installed the ROM Image (Official Sony) 5.1.1 End (222). The phone is working fine. My question is, to root, install a ROM Recover or another, have to unlock the bootloader again?

I am very grateful!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
no it's a one time process. if u unlock BL thats it. if u want to root in Stock u have to follow the process to get root again. not Unlocking BL. another option is to get Stock based Kernel which has recovery. :)

[Sony Cross-Device General] DoubleYouPee:
Quick 3 questions:

1) When updating from .21 is it recommended to flash new version from recovery or can I just open the new version install.bat on windows and overwrite?

2) Is the latest edition considered stable for all devices? (I still have 3 year old ZL C6503)

3) Can I add the combined version to latest version of PRFcreator with my prerooted ROM?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
For updating I have the flash only the last file or the last 2? (OTA-ish)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
1: doesn't matter

2: yes, of course (otherwise it wouldn't have the release label)

3: yes

Last 2? I have no clue what you meant to say there...

Just flash the latest version and you're done.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DoubleYouPee:
EDIT: nvm, thanks, got it working
[Sony Cross-Device General] ecksdeeay:

[Sony Cross-Device General] DoubleYouPee:
I actually had that problem before this, but it gave me a different error (error no device found) or something similar.

Maybe I will just use .21 to flash new prerooted rom with latest .26 included.

edit: NEVERMIND, turned out to be a faulty USB port. What are the chances >_>.

There is one BIG news as with regards to Android M... The latest official Beta of Android M for Xperia Z3 does NOT use dm-verity. However there are currently some other obstacles preventing root on locked BL. However the Beta Android M can be flashed in TWRP as restore from backup and before restore the system can be modified. But all tries to root with standard SuperSU ended in bootloop or inability to patch image for systemless root..

Hello [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION],

i dont know if you see it but we managed to get Root for Unlocked Bootloader and also Locked Bootloader now. To get more Information visit this Thread.

I hope we soon see your Magic with a new Version that supports MM, but take your Time i know its alot of work.

Regards

Wolfbreak
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I've been investigating, but with the lack of a device which has a MM beta or official release I am unable to test it myself... I have a Z2, but it's my daily driver...

The only thing I can imagine is that the byeselinux module has been patched to work with the MM kernel (and I will try to match that change in future versions), but otherwise have to conclude the installer and scripting should work fine... (which is not the same as the recoveries them selves of course...)

Can you give 2.8.26 a shot?

Make sure you disable the cleanup, so you can test it with anything you might need while it's still on the phone. Just comment this line: https://github.com/xNUTx/XZDualRecovery/blob/2.8-RELEASE/src/combined.bat#L126 (this file is renamed to install.bat in the zip)

If it fails to install (with byeselinux and ricdefeat installed and also attempt installation with root but without those 2 installed), you can run install.sh from adb shell in /data/local/tmp/recovery and see what it reports.

Please attach the logs for me to check stuff.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Wolfbreak:

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] tried it on the Z2, but it causes a bootloop. Make sure you have time to fix it...

Before installing 2.8.26, edit this file on that line: https://github.com/xNUTx/XZDualRecovery/blob/2.8-RELEASE/src/dualrecovery.sh#L497

Comment out that line. It should then keep byeselinux loaded. From what I heard from [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] SuperSU needs it to work on MM.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
From an unlocked bootloader perspective, I have discovered permanent "permissive" mode is required after flashing SuperSU. LB should be the same.
