its working on z ultra

its not working on z2

its not working on z3c

lollipop and recovery v20 on all 4 devices
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Ok, then I'm afraid it isn't the fault of XZDR.

I think Aroma is just not working for those devices, because regarding the Log the part where it is freezing seems to be the start of aroma, which then causes the freeze/crash. I think you have to ask in their thread for help.

Just a little Tip, I saw on their thread. Did you do that?

MOST IMPORTANT THING BEFORE CUSTOMIZING IT

Make sure You took an update-binary from a working ROM,
renamed it to update-binary-installer and overwrote the one in my AROMA Installer zip

But maybe it is not necessary. I don't know how aroma works.

EDIT:

And what about NEON Feature. Is it there?

[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
You could try TWRP instead of PHILZ.

But if that also isn't working, then I'm afraid I have no idea.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eskamhl:
As I said before, it's the same with the Z3.

I tried also with a package that worked for sure on KK but no luck now with lollipop ( with all kind of recovery ) :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alex_rac:
tryed all recoveries but nothing changes

and its working on kitkat...
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
I personally think it is a Problem between Aroma and the new Lollipop-Kernel for those Devices.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
After reading all the posts on the subject, I have to agree. It's aroma+lollipop kernel...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alex_rac:
so the suggestion is? to give up or you think that an update on aroma project can solve the issue?
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
I think it's not giving up. It's just the wrong thread. Because the Problem seems to be Aroma. So better ask in Aroma Thread for help ;)

When you installed v2.8.20 and your Z2 reboots into recovery, what you choose then when you reboot the device when it says in philz touch: root is broken, install root (or similar) yes or no ?

I choosed yes and my Z3 reboot and reboot and cant enter the system/homescreen anymore, i guess you choosed no, correct ?

twrp never asked anything about root but after booting the rom supersu app requested a binary update. that's what i meant in my previous post.

Sony Xperia Z (C6603) - Locked Bootloader - ROM Generic ES LL 10.6.A.0.454 - ROOT Ok and Binary Updates OK - No Xposed Install - No more Changes

-----------------------------

Well, I tell you, initially as he was with the recovery position, what I had was easier to enter and flash a rom the pre-rooteda he had.

So I did and all wipes I mention, to finish installing told me everything OK, restart and everything ok, install the recovery v.19, like the previous one had was the 18 unofficial because I thought it would by this but nothing.

I was still the same thing happening, starting the phone with the plugged in light cable (or the dock I do not care) initially turned on, does both vibrations and reaches where it says Powered By Android then the screen turns off and enters the screen loaded with their corresponding icon. This I must say that I have always been doing at least since version 16 if and this is what happens to you and I think everybody because this is normal.

Now what is happening to me with 18 unofficial and after the 19 is that having the mobile previously off and charging through the wall charger (with or without the dock), is that when this charged and unplug when and this, the phone does the same thing when loaded, let it enciente, does both vibration reaches to put Android Powered By then off. I then turn on quietly, does both vivbraciones again if I go to recovery and everything goes perfectly, the recovery also works perfect and I can do backups and others.

So I set out with the "solution" that law here and change the chargemon.stock by one as I already had a backup. And you know what happened to me ?, because I go let me Bootlop Recovery that is similar to normal Bootlop but this time did not reach the attempt to load the system if not all the while entering the recovery was restarted.

So back again, this time to install the ROM Flashtools Generic ES 454 LL doing all WIPES, then after that I ROOT, change KingUser by SuperSU and install the version 20 and I DualRecovery is exactly the same.

That can not be but first I did not go in version 16, with 18 official I also happened after the 18 unofficial and I've also tried the 19 and 20 and passed me.

I put the phone to pay other chargers and plugs and I still happening, the mobile load perfectly and everything works perfectly, the recovery also works perfectly, I've made a couple of copies of things seguirdad and installed by recovery.

As they do, what I do know is that if I remove the recovery, the mobile nothing happens what I said. I think the recovery is 100%.

-----------------------------

I am grateful that someone could try to see if you also feel the same. For me this damaging and as they do, whether it is normal or not or whether I will damage my terminal.

With the phone turned off, charge it fully and when unplugging it to see if he enciente alone and makes it both vibrations and off.

Thanks to XDA and all his people, you are the best.

[NUT] and @ McBane87 the best.

latest version works great in my Tab Z..thanks!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
KingRoot doesn't give proper system r/w access. Are you SURE that it has been fully replaced by SuperSU, and that su binarys have been updated, and you can access system as r/w with a suitable root explorer?

Just used 2.8.20 (windows installer) on my Z and Z3, both fully locked with restored TA partition, and properly rooted with SuperSU. No issues at all:good:

Thanks [NUT] and McBane87 BTW ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] zippy01:
Answered my own question, bootloop issue after updating to 2.8.20 luckily I had a backup
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Does anybody of you having trouble with internal SD (/sdcard) after flashing 2.8.20 ???

For some reason my TabZ wasn't able to mount or bind "/data/media/0" to "/sdcard ".

That's why the folder "/sdcard" was empty.

I'm speaking not about TWRP or PHILZ. This was happening on Lollipop after successful boot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mir2:
I changed KingUser to SuperSU follows

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006

Although I have to say it was before thanks to ROOT from 4.2 DooMLoRD and has also happened to me.

SuperSU perfectly installed and Binary.

Leave more information:

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

I've had problems in the sdcard and also when installing a ROM by recovery in the log I miss in red the same as you've put:

"/ data / media / 0" to "/ sdcard"

In fact it is when I entered the first time bootlop

And I then tried to revive the XZ back after using the SDFix flashtools also because despite being able to move things to the external memory, applications such as Sygic had not let me put the maps in the external memory.

But I have also commented problems despite not install SDFix.

I think the DualRecovery it is not yet very stable, never have had problems but from the official v16 v18, through unofficial until the v20 have not had more problems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
do you mean on apps like Root Explorer?

if that, i'm having no issues so far and browsed around there.../emulated/0/ is fine and /sdcard0/ is fine... also /sdcard / from root is fine

i just checked them again, if there's something i can test for you till me ;) (keep in mind i'm on XZ)
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Ok thank you. Maybe it was an individual Problem only I was expiriencing. Maybe because of flashing XZDR so often. I now solved the Problem by doing this:

su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
i didn't test /data/media/0/ ...so i just did, it also works (screenshot attached)

i had your Unofficial 18 installed on a custom rom and it was good, but i felt that ROM used battery more than the Stock, so i reverted back to stock and installed v20 on a clean LP install so, it might be as you said, installing 20 over other version may cause the issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
/data/media/0 was also accessable for me. The problem was that the system was not able to bind or link /data/media/0 to /sdcard because of "permission denied". But this now solved by the other command I posted already :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] MasterTB:
Everything worked fine on my Z3 D6633 rooted with KR and replaced by SuperSU, but only for 1 reboot.

I could only use the recovery ONCE, then it was gone.... and my phone is in a bootloop---- HELP
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Are you still able to get into Recovery?
[Sony Cross-Device General] MasterTB:
Yes. but that's it. The phone doesn't boot. All I see is the sony splashscreen and PC companion will take at least a day to download the restore files on my sh***ty internet connection.

Any advice on how to solve it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Try to reapply XZDR via TWRP or PHILZ. Use the flashable not the installer.

If that isn't working. Try to flash older Version.

If that is also not working. try to go into TWRP. After that do an "adb shell" connection and then do this:

mount /system
cp /system/bin/chargemon.stock /system/bin/chargemon
cp /system/bin/mr.stock /system/bin/mr

Then Reboot. Recovery should now be disabled.
[Sony Cross-Device General] T_money_third:
Is there a way to flash this without a computer?

I tried flashing it with install.bat but it says something like the adb command is not recognized. Wondering if there's a way to flash it because I have root access, I'm supposed to flash this duel recovery b4 I can flash supersu.
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
If you don't have a Recovery installed yet, then you are forced to use the installer. If you already have a Recovery. Then use the flashable.

Normally adb.exe is within all those files from the installer package. Did you extracted all files? Don't copy only BAT-File.

If it is still not working try to install this first:

[Sony Cross-Device General] random_n00b:
I had similar issues with Philz Touch on a Nexus 10 (see here). Only solution to fix the unaccessible folders was the restorecon command. TRWP did not show that behaviour on the Nexus 10.

Just today I realised I have the same issue on my Xperia ZL. PhilZ Touch cannot install the latest Xposed SDK (v65) since it cannot mount /system, so I switched to TWRP. That switch also left some folder unaccessible. (restorecon solved that). Funny thing is that CWM also works fine, just PhilZ Touch doesn't.

So my summary is, that PhilZ Touch does not work well with Lollipop ROMs, since I never had any issues with Kitkat + Philz Touch on 3 devices before.
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
well, my friend, here's an update, i also had a system mount issue on Philz on v20 as the previous reply, and was fixed with your code.

i was installing the latest Xposed and it couldn't mount sdcard , i switched to TWRP and it worked and flashed the zip without any issues,

i ran your code, rebooted back to philz and it worked too.

i wonder if anyone flashed any zip with Philz on v20 and can confirm this or it might be some isolated incidents?

so...again your code saved the day ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
any zip is working, but not for Xposed one.
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Can't confirm that. For me it was the opposite. I first tried to flash xposed with twrp, but it didn't work because there was some odd thing with data partition / sdcard. But I thought it might be the cause of a data wipe I did right before. Then I rebooted and tried flashing Xposed with PHILZ again. And it was working. Data / sdcard was also working. After a first boot to lollipop sdcard was also accessible by twrp again. But it was not accessible by lollipop. So I finally had to use the code I posted.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Please people, be sure to test XZDR before flashing anything else, Xposed is a big bootloop risk on Lollipop, it was and still is the main cause for it to happen...

Install XZDualRecovery, reboot to system (if you are asked about root by recovery, just say no! You installed XZDR, right? You would not have been able to when you didn't have root!). When you then see everything working OK, boot to recovery again and then start flashing modifications.

When running in to a bootloop due to the XZDR installation, download the XZDR Removaltool, you can flash it straight from recovery. this will remove all traces of XZDualRecovery, but will leave wp_mod.ko and byeselinux.ko on your device allowing you to keep an easy route to full-root and able to reinstall XZDualRecovery after that using the installer package.

It's hard to separate exact bootloop or crash causes if you combine major changes, and most people end up here asking for help, while the a lot of problems are caused by something other then XZDualRecovery.

I also notice most people neglect to mention the other modifications installed when reporting issues here... which does not make it any easier to troubleshoot!! :eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
actually just now reading [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] last post i remembered i did flash another mod (that had aroma) & the previous version of Xposed with Philz on v20 ... so it's weird now to me, it might be the latest Xposed v65 (the one i was installing today) i read that there was some issues with the apk, but not the flashable!!! it's kinda strange though that the code you used fixes it, i should've got a log , but i completely forgot.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Ok i read now on Xposed section that some people had issues installing the latest v65 flashable on other devices ...so it least on my case it might've been Xposed.

[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Well, this is because Xposed is checking for existing Lollipop (SDK21) but finds SDK19 and so it aborts installation.

Now it depends on how Xposed it checking this. Is it using the Recovery Prop-File for that? If yes, then we have a little Problem, because Recovery is still saying it is KitKat.

EDIT:

Ah, sorry. Didn't saw the system mount Problem there.

So then this is the real problem :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
I'm not sure , how do i check that?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes....

By checking the script inside the zip...

[MENTION=4712883]McBane87[/MENTION], you do the checking honors? :angel:
[Sony Cross-Device General] mervluk:
I'm running XDR 20 (latest) on my Xperia Z2 with stock 5.0.2 and had no trouble installing Xposed v65 with TWRP. It found sdk.21 on install log.
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Yes, it's checking both Files "/default.ptop" and "/system/build.prop":

grep_prop() {
REGEX="s/^$1=//p"
shift
FILES=$@
if [ -z "$FILES" ]; then
FILES='/system/build.prop /default.prop'
fi
cat $FILES 2>/dev/null | sed -n $REGEX | head -n 1
}

If system would be mounted correctly it would return "21". But because it isn't in this case it returns the value of "default.prop" which is "19"
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
yes i just checked it myself , but again why would this only happen on 1 Recovery but not the other?
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
We have to find out why your System-Partition isn't mounted.

Are still having this issue? Or is this an older Log-File?
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
i still have the same error, i just tried to flash again to make sure, and it's still gives the same error on the log...

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

[MENTION=4712883]McBane87[/MENTION] that's kinda of strange , i just got back to your unofficial, and tried to install xposed and it gave the same error... i'm sure i flashed other zips with your unofficial, i will try and flash something i'm sure worked before on Philz and report back
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Are you able to mount System-Partiton manually via PHILZ/TWRP Menu or Terminal Command?
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
OK, i tested flashing several Zips via unnofficial 18 and v20 and also mounting system , i downgraded to unofficial and then upgraded again... so this is obviously an Xposed Issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
I doubt it is a problem with Xposed. I'm currently running V65 on my Xperia Z. I have an unlocked bootloader and used TWRP integrated in a custom kernel to flash.
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
yes it worked for most people on TWRP , but the issue appeared on Philz , so i tried installing other ZIP ncluding ones with Aroma, and they flash fine... it's a weird issue and several people are having it and not only on XZ

that's what it says on the updated version of Xposed...could this be the issue? i know the latest XZDR and the unofficial 18 had something fixed with BusyBox!!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Some people are successfully flashing Xposed with TWRP on version 2.8.20. For instance, there's someone on the previous page of this thread that did so.

It seems the problem is that /system cannot be mounted for some reason. Have you tried manually mounting /system in TWRP before flashing?
[Sony Cross-Device General] MasterTB:
Thanks, I tried to do the replace and shell thing, didn't work. I opted to restore the phone with PC Companion. Rooted again but won't be doing the recovery until it's a safer operation.
[Sony Cross-Device General] theduke7:
it flashes normally on TWRP..at least for me, i have it working v65.
[Sony Cross-Device General] McBane87:
Maybe, but we only changed the Busybox of System-Partiton, which is used before booting into Recovery. Inside the Recoveries, there is still the old one. And inside the Xposed-Flashable I can't find any Busybox binary. So where was Busybox included by Xposed?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kingvortex:
Then the issue is with Philz, not Xposed.

Development has ceased on Philz, so I no longer use it. TWRP should be your first choice for flashing anything.
