[XZDualRecovery] Version 2.2 BETA released!

BETA Change log:

BETA releases will only appear on http://www.fun-industries.nl/xda/ and as soon as enough people report it to be working fine will it move in to the OP as a RELEASE version.

Version 2.2:

Fixed ZL Keycheck, again... :silly:

Did some more code cleaning, simplifying the SDCard1 mounting process.

Released the LINUX installer (Requires root privileges, so it will prompt for a sudo password) - Thanks go to [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION] for the adb binary!
[Sony Cross-Device General] power461:
Sorry for the stupid question but this:

If you have an unlocked bootloader and chose to keep the STOCK Sony kernel, you can also use this MOD.

Gives me a question.

I have a z with unlocked boot loader so can I replace my cyanongenmod's CWM with this?

Just to be sure to not brick my device.

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Replace, no: CWM is integrated in the CM kernel... you can add this to the system, but i really do not know if it will work on CM.

You can try though: make a backup of /system using the CWM you have. Install this recovery mod and test it (skip the first keypress led/buzz to go to this one). If it doesn't boot or it shows any other problem, reboot your device and restore /system.

IF you are going to do this, let me know if it works!
[Sony Cross-Device General] doum89:
ehi people had my phone be turned off when I run the .bat? Or had it to be in flashmode/fastboot mode or what else? thank you for anwering (I tryed with turned on smartphones but it says waiting for device...) I'm on .350 with unlocked bootloader
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, just have your phone turned on. Then run the bat file to install.
[Sony Cross-Device General] doum89:
ok i'm doing it but it seems very slow O_O is it nomal? I'm on step 2: sending recovery files and it copied 4 files in about 15 minutes and i'm still waiting...I have only unzipped the file named lockeddualrecovery2.1-RELEASE.installer in C: and clicked on superuser.bat (I have super user)...it's so slow t.t did I forget something?

this is the poin where I'm arrived after 25 minutes
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Nope, something on your pc might be hogging CPU or the USB bus... that would explain why it's so slow. But as long as it keeps sending, you should not worry.

Normal operation for a good USB utilization would take about 40 seconds + time to reboot into CWM and then + time to reboot to android + 4 seconds (which adds up to something like a minute or 2 in total) to install though.
[Sony Cross-Device General] doum89:
ok now I'm on step 3: setup of dual recovery

if i boot on twrp 2.5.0.0 and click on install, it only shows 2 folders and none of my files i've copied there. also if i use restore, it doesn't show my backupfiles. first time i ran it, it works.

anyone else with that here? any help?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ebbox:
Thx for the good work!

I have CWM 6.0.2.8 installed and if I flash file through CWM, it tells me everything went fine, but when i reboot (using either vol up og down) it goes into 6.0.2.8 CWM.

I also tried using .bat file from Windows and again it tells me succes. First reboot I was able to go into TWRP, but when i reboot phone again it enters CWM 6.0.2.8 and new CWM and TWRP seems gone.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I have a small problem / annoyance.

When using twrp, I have to go to data/media to install anything from internal memory, if I select internal memory it just shows cwm and twrp folders.

Any suggestions?

On latest firmware btw.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You are not the first one to report this... but I'm puzzled. I can not replicate that situation, so I don't know how to fix it :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] Metallijim:
No worries, you've done some great work on our phones, and personally I think it might be the way twrp 'reads' the internal storage, googled a bit and found that it's not just this device, but others too.

If you want any help in diagnosing this, I'd be glad to.

Just flashed 2.1 update.zip using previous twrp recovery (locked bootloader). Now, I seem to have lost R/W rights to /system. I can't change the file hosts or GPS.conf....:( anyone can suggest a means to regain write rights? Adfree causes soft reboot when trying to access host file; root explorer causes reboot when trying to mount root as read/write. Es file explorer causes reboot when trying to change root permissions to read/write. Help!

Dead cookies leave no trails...
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
In terminal emulator do this:-

su

system/bin/stop ric

Now you have temporary R/W access until next reboot:thumbup:

To make it permanent, navigate to /system/etc with Root Explorer and create

a file called install-recovery.sh Open in Text Editor and put the following inside:-

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/bin/stop ric

Now set permissions to rwx, rw,r

Save and exit.

Done:)

I have a question; if I have a custom kernel, can I install this recovery?. The custom kernel is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2624339
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
But... why do you want to install this one then? I mean... that kernel already has dual recovery included? :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] maxomen:
The recovery in the other kernel isn't thouch recovery. I preffere the touch one :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Ah, I see... you could repack your AOSP kernel with philz though ;)

Edit/hint: Use 7zip to extract the recovery.philz.cpio.lzma from dual recovery installer to just cpio format.

Then split your boot.img and swap the one in ramdisk/sbin;)

when i backup on zr using phils it sets backup name as 2009 date always.It doesnt get current date or time:(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Grr... Can you please boot in to twrp and tell me if the time is correct in there?

Then boot to philz and use adb to pull the logs from /tmp/, there is a recovery.log and one xzdualrecovery related one.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Thanks to all who donated :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] silveraero:
Just a question, can I use install-recovery.sh to execute script in init.d folder or if I write script in that file, will it be executed when the device boot?

If yes, can you tell me how to execute the init.d folder. Thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eh... yes and no...

Depends on 2 things:

1: Are you using XZDualRecovery?

2: Are you using SuperSU?
[Sony Cross-Device General] silveraero:
Both are yes. I have just installed your recovery package on SP. I'm trying to tweak my own ROM but some tweaks need to run at startup so I need init.d (well, I know that script manager can do this too, but I refer init.d)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well... then don't use install-recovery.sh but enable init.d support in the XZDR.prop file.

SuperSU will keep replacing install-recovery.sh with every boot. It does however allow you to use install-recovery2.sh from the same location.

But in general, running init.d scripts from an app or from install-recovery.sh is a bad thing: they get started way too late that way. For some settings it's no problem, but for something that swaps mount locations it's simply no option.
[Sony Cross-Device General] silveraero:
Sorry, but where is that file and how do I enable the init.d support. I read the installation script in your package and there is ${DRPATH}/XZDR.prop but don't understand what is the path.

EDIT: found it in cace/recovery by reading the mr.sh. Thank you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AngelBob:
It should be in "/cache/XZDualRecovery" or "/storage/sdcard1/XZDualRecovery" not "cache/recovery"
[Sony Cross-Device General] silveraero:
Oh yes, it should be in that folder. just a mistake.
[Sony Cross-Device General] HorvathTheWizard:
I have installed Criskelo Rom 4.0 with last version of Dual Recovery. After Reboot i have lost Recovery. On previously version of this Rom no problem for me. If i reinstall Recovery i got a bootloop.

Again, i flash original Sony Firmware, root and install Recovery. Then, i flash Rom and before Reboot i install flashable zip of Recovery. Another Bootloop.

Any suggestion?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Abruzini:
Hello! :)

And what about Xperia L? :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] MrSteve555:
On Xperia SP there are still some issues( I'm using ExistenZ 2.1.5 and XZ Dual recovery 2.7.94):

1. CWM doesn't mount external sdcard (storage/sdcard1)

2. Philz recovery doesn't mount internal sdcard (storage/sdcard0). In fact, when using Free browse mode I actually can access and flash files from internal SD(/data/media/0). So I think it's symlinking problem.

3. Maybe it's a phone fault, but there are some random touches in TWRP. And the whole log window is being spammed with touch locations.

Accidently install busybox n updated from Playstore...

Now i've lost my dual recovery...

I tried installing 2.7.92 but it didnt get in to recovery after reboot..

No led when booting...

Any other way to get it back?

Mine is still LockedBL rooted .136 Z Ultra...
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Try uninstalling busybox with the busybox installer that you used, then run the dual recovery installer again.

As an aside, has anyone tried contacting stericson (the dev of probably the most popular busybox imstaller) and asking him to include the necessary tools in his version of busybox? He does say he is open to this in the installer apps About section and it may stop things like this happening in future. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You lost full root because of this... so you won't be able to simply 'install' anything anymore.

The 2.7.94 version keeps a safety backup to prevent this from happening...

Your only way to full root again is to go back to 532 and root that to update to 136 again. Sorry :(

With 2.7.94 that's no longer needed... but people should learn to read and remember important warnings. It's not for no reason I keep repeating that issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Yes, I know. :)

It never happened to me, because I read the OP of every mod/rom/recovery thread that I use thoroughly before proceeding. Was just a suggestion to help those that do not (many people, unfortunately) and therefore keep posts asking for help to a minimum, when you have already warned against using a different busybox. ;)

If you already took steps to make my suggestion unnecessary, then that's all good. :)

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ed-to-version-2-7-with-a-ton-of-new-features/

And, one of of the latest versions, TWRP doesn't recognize any of the SD (internal and external) partitions on my Tablet Z. I can't remember anymore in which version I am, so I can't say for sure.

Is there any way I can help you to fix that?

[Sony Cross-Device General] dreamville:
Well I installed this recovery fine and then applied the ihacker rom 3.0 on my xperia z1 which installed perfectly but I read on the instructions that i should install this recovery after applying any new rom. Unfortunately the phone booted up so i tried to apply this recovery in to it by doing the usual instructions however once the phone was on the rebooting stage it just stuck on the Sony logo. I pressed power and volume + to switch off and then tried to switch on but was still stuck on the sony logo. So i basically reflashed the original firmware but now my phone gets no signal. On the lockscreen it also says "invalid sim. no signal". I tried different sims and none seem to work. I tried different original firmwares numerous times but still same issue. I also rooted the device and installed recovery again just to wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache..basically anything i could format in hope to get the signal to work again. After doing this I reflashed stock firmware but still nothing

Sorry for long read, wanted to give as much detail as possible. I'm on SuperUser btw

Summary:

-Installed recovery

-Installed new rom

-Reinstalled recovery: got stuck on sony logo

-Reflashed stock rom: no signal on phone

-Tried different firmwares and still no signal

-Reinstalled recovery and tried to wipe everything possible

-Still same issue

Thanks :)

Consider this a semi-official announcement:

For some models 2.7.95 is online with twrp 2.7 and the latest philz.

New on the download page is the xzdrkernel release package. Which is only available for the XZ and Z1. It is a kernel for use with the latest rom versions.

NOTE: The kernel version works in combination with the app and the XZDR.prop file. It is meant for

UNLOCKED

BOOTLOADER DEVICES.
[Sony Cross-Device General] anakdayak:
Tnx NUT 95 working great now noticed there is a vibration on selecting option.
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
there is no 2.7.95 for T/TX ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That's correct, not yet. Working on it though :)

As I have a T now myself I can debug the sdcard mounting issues before release. It's also the reason why 2.7.95 has not yet been released as a 'full' announced version :p

Do i have to unlock my bootloader in my xperia zl C6502 to install this dial recovery or is it okay if i install this without unlocking my bootloader? Is it safe? Will i lose my drm keys and Bravia engine? Please let me know..
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
From the OP -
[Sony Cross-Device General] dimex:
As the directions to install the dualrecovery came before the backup instructions, I did not make a backup prior to installing. How can I revert to stock single recovery now?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. So, for example, I install dualrecovery. Then I flash a ROM. Now I have to install the dualrecovery again or it's gone?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Correct. If you don't flash the recovery zip before rebooting, then you will lose recovery as /system is wiped when flashing a rom (notwithstanding that the rom you're flashing has the dual recovery integrated already, of course).
[Sony Cross-Device General] dimex:
durrr :eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] ->---:
I have some kind of strage behavior. The ROM I use is OMNI with PimpedKernel and SuperSU on my Z1 - XZDR 2.7.95, but also .94. If I press volume up or volume down at boot (violet LED), I just get into CWM. If I chose one of the other recoverys within the NDRUtiliy the phone boots into the chosen correct recovery.

Do you need the log files or do you know about that behaviour? Is it just some kind of wrong setting somewhere?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You have to wait for the green led with the dual vibration to enter a recovery in XZDualRecovery.

The purple led is the one from the kernel.

Heh, this is exactly why I changed to green with the double vibration: easy troubleshooting :D

The funny thing is that if you use advanced->terminal command and type "mount /system" by hand it is able to mount it, so this hints at a twrp issue in combination with Sony's kitkat release... :eek:

Either kernel from .534 works fine on .136 or your recovery is actually able to flash stock kernels on LB without using stripped ftf's.
