I completely support this idea. I would prefer to be able to download a complete working release than having the threads loaded with questions (or how to fix this issue etc) about broken bits :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] zxz0O0:
Should probably work if you replace the philz recovery file by the cwm recovery file.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
I support it too, twrp 2.8.5.0 is fully functional.
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
Yeahh! probably its a good idea, otherwise you will have to see many post with complains about twrp issues. cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4995059]alinghi100[/MENTION]

That, or modify dualrecovery.sh to boot to cwm instead of Philz. It's easy enough.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Guto ViP:
What issues with TWRP?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Read thread? Mount and wipe problems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FcukBloat:
2.8.5 but with same fonts size as more with 2.8.6? if not, i vote for keeping last twrp much better don't size [emoji14]
[Sony Cross-Device General] alinghi100:
can i do it while android is running ? and could you please tell me what exactly i have to edit inside dualrecovery.sh ? thanks a lot !
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'll keep 2.8.7 online as well, because I still need people to help me debug issues with devices I don't own.

You can probably best edit it on the pc. See the files directory and open dualrecovery.sh in ultraedit, textpad or notepad++. You NEED to use an editor which understands Linux line feed characters otherwise you will break the script. Then search for the lines which decide if the volume up button has been used. Comments and log lines will give its location away. Change philz to cwm and you're done.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Hehe or you can make choice in installer so lazy ones can choose between TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.6.0.....
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
I like this option but its gonna be a little better for noobs something less complicated, anyway as i dont use philz too much i can install both versions of twrp to help to debug the 2.8.6 with my z1 if you need it [NuT]. Cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
He he you are clever :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dolphin Trainer:
2.8.5.3 was a solid release... it'd be worth rolling back to that.

Does any current TWRP version support Lollipop encryption on Xperia devices? 2.8.6.0 doesn't... :(

Thanks all working good on z2 :)

RELEASE Change log:

Version 2.8.8:

Reverted TWRP to 2.8.5.0, because of a multitude of issues with 2.8.6.0. To help Team Win debug the issues, I will keep 2.8.7 online for testing purposes. Please if you see any errors pop up, make sure you tap Advanced -> Copy log to SD and to attach it to this topic. The one about postrecoveryboot.sh failing is a known one and can be considered a false-positive: it is trying to unmount something which is already unmounted.

Made sure the installer (and only the installer in this case, the flashable package will be patched later) will install the NDRUtils app on the correct location on Lollipop ROM's. This should make the 'applications starting up' notice at boot go away. Make sure you remove the NDRUtils.apk by hand from /system/app before installing this XZDR version and please DO report

your

results.
[Sony Cross-Device General] luminoso:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION], both I and [MENTION=6351145]ondrejvaroscak[/MENTION] confirmed that:

2.8.3+byeselinux set SELinux always to permissive, allowing xposed to work normally

2.8.7 always set SELinux to enforcing, even with "SELinux Mode Changer" app setting it to permissive, it boots in "enforcing" and prevents xposed from work (it does load modules, but they have no effect)

rolling back to 2.8.3 need to reflash byeselinux.zip to make it permissive at boot again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
I can confirm, but OT here..
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually Ondrej, not really. I will make NOT unloading the ByeSELinux module a feature by configuration in the XZDR.prop file for the next release.

The mode changer probably tries to set the SELinux enforcing too soon. this means it CAN when the original byeselinux patch is installed, and CAN NOT when XZDR 2.8.7+ is installed.

-- EDIT --

XZDualRecovery 2.8.9 is now building, I will put it online alongside the others, but needs to be considered a testing release!

At every installation using the installer or recreation of the XZDR.prop file, dr.keep.byeselinux=false is included. When you want byeselinux to be kept at boot, change false to true and you're done :)

Let me know if that solves it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
I can only confirm certain Xposed modules not working with 2.8.7 and working with 2.8.3 and byeselinux patch. Rest is [MENTION=2034400]luminoso[/MENTION] interpretation, I am not that technically skilled. I will stick with what works for me for the moment.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zocker7:
I have installed 2.8.8 and it shows still 2.8.5

i tried install zip and pc installer......
[Sony Cross-Device General] ravdo:
2.8.8 = XZ DualRecovery Version

2.8.5 = TWRP Version
[Sony Cross-Device General] Andrey Piekas:
I tested the 2.8.7 version in my T2U killed my phone, getting in bootloop. I had to reinstall the FTF. I'm afraid to install the 2.8.8.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crash338:
OK - So I was able to flash to my Z2 phone 5.0.2 using recovery from KitKat. I now have a 5.0.2 on my phone which is rooted and both recoveries work well. I created the same flashable zip for my tablet Z2 but cannot test because after flashing my tablet back to 314 (commercial and Journalists) and obtaining root, no version of the recoveries work. are they now only compatible with lollilop and not KitKat anymore. All I get is a quick red LED and tablet boots back to normal. the log file were "aborted at stage 2" and saying no recovery file was found. Im so confused right now!! :confused:

Edit: And I just realized that I posted this in the phone section instead of the tablet one
[Sony Cross-Device General] luminoso:
It does work. Changing XZDR.prop inside SD Card\XZDualRecovery solves the problem of booting with selinux in permissive mode, allowing xposed to work correctly! :highfive:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If/When making these posts -expecting me to fix what ever is wrong-, please include as much info as possible.

Lacking the detailed info makes this a random rant post from my perspective right now...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
This kind of posts are in the right thread, you ask a valid development related question :)

I tried to make the 2.8.7+ installer and flashable package both able to distinguish between LP and KK, so it will do what ever it needs to do but nothing more then required to make it work fine on both..

[MENTION=3577628]Bird40[/MENTION] tested the 2.8.7 installer on the Tab Z2 he owns, it worked fine on his with the same .314 ROM... Am I right Bird40?

Please try to install 2.8.7 or newer again and copy the CMD window contents to a file to attach here together with the logs.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tboyroy83:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] quick question. I'm going to be creating a pre rooted ftf with your recovery for LB KK 4.4.4 D5503. Which version would be best to install? I have been out of the game since I lost my C6902. I will also try to help as much as I possibly can with your debugging process.

Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.9-RELEASE - fail to enter, red led

4.4.4, /cache empty, no log

EDIT: Solved by using installer version after flashable failed. I also chose reanable root option in CWM
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] 2.8.9 flashable its ok with the new 14.5.A.0.242 for the z1 with prerooted flashable zip. cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tuberomix:
I thought TWRP 2.8.6.1 fixed the major bugs in 2.8.6.0. Can't this new version be implemented in XZDR?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Then tell me where it is released, because https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/blob/android-5.1/variables.h clearly states 2.8.6.0 and I do not have time to cherry-pick fixes from their Gerrit...
[Sony Cross-Device General] nurps:
The "dr.keep.byeselinux=false" wasn't included in the XZDR.prop after updating the recovery, but I put it in on my own.

It worked at first, I could actually even get gravitybox to work while still booting normally. But after setting up my google account I got the known bootloops. But I guess it did someting in the right direction for xposed.
[Sony Cross-Device General] juanpirulo:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I can confirm that The "dr.keep.byeselinux=false" wasn't included in the XZDR.prop after updating the recovery but only in the 2.8.9 flashable zip, 2.8.9 installer its ok
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That's not weird, to be honest ... I forgot to modify the flashable package to do so :cyclops:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Zim1984:
Is the Xperia S supported?

and if it is, which file I should use XSP or XS?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It is... and the SP is an entirely different phone, so you would need the XS version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tboyroy83:
That's not weird, to be honest ... I forgot to modify the flashable package to do so :cyclops:

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] has the flashable zip been fixed good buddy?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes, but no new version has been released with the fix yet :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tboyroy83:
No worries, I will wait until it is so I can include it in my pre rooted firmware zip. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] andonymouz:
Hi NUT, thanks for the GREAT work so far!

I created a flashable.zip with PRFC for my Z3C (D5803) including

.690 Lollipop (German Customized)

SU2.46

XZDR 2.8.7

it ran perfectly with System R/W and booting to recovery worked great!

Today I ran 2.8.9 installer successfully (removed ndrutils.apk manually from system/app before)

-> System R/W and booting to recovery still working.

BUT on flashing Xposed framework + installing the apk, I am experiencing bootloop if I dont clear dalvik/art, EVEN THOUGH I set dr.keep.byeselinux=TRUE in XZDR.prop.

I have 2 questions:

- Am I modifying the correct file EXTERNAL SDcard/xzdualrecovery/xzdr.prop ?

- am I right you are all talking about the XPOSED ALPHA-2 version specialized for Android 5.0.2 ?

Edit: NO Modules installed so far!

Many Thanks in advance!!!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tboyroy83:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] If I want to include a stable flashable zip while waiting for the fix, which 1 would be best?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The fix is easily applied by hand, use 2.8.8 or 9 for now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Sorry. I have no clue, I don't use xposed. Ask in the Xposed thread...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tboyroy83:
Thanks [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] for your reply I appreciate your a busy guy trying to sort us all out. ;)

[Sony Cross-Device General] PVL_93_RU:
So, now a real good question - when we get new devices like Xperia M4 Aqua and Xperia Tablet Z4 - do we have to start everything from scratch? I mean gathering logs, weeks of testing, or will we be able to apply Dual Recovery right away? I might be getting those two in summer and autumn and wondering how will the root related things go with those devices
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
No, somebody will do it for you.

Sir didyou considered making this dual recovery for d2203 în Locked:o bootloader? Please answer to my question. Thank you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, you will see that every time, even without doing anything. Boot to twrp and tap the middle button at the bottom...

See the 2.8.8 changelog.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'd worry about getting root first :p

There is a good chance it will work just fine.

Hi i have download the dual Recovery Kernel for z2 (several Times)and my Phone Doesn't Boot (hangs in bootloop)

Can you look into it :D i hope you Can fix IT
[Sony Cross-Device General] luminoso:
Don't mix things.

XZDualRecovery: allows you to have SELinux permissive or enforce, which allows you to run xposed modules or not. Even with SELinux in permissive or enforcing mode on Z3C with an bloated rom you will get a bootloop with or without modules installed.

Bootloops are related to some app in Z3C system. It was found that flashing a debloated ROM fixes the bootloop, which is possible that some system from sony app crashes xposed (yet to be found which one)

Take a look at this debloated rom for Z3C and this thread discussing xposed for xperia z2 has a lot of useful information.

When in those threads please read and search two times before posting. (You would have found this guide and this info if you did :p )

Hey man, literally all the downloads for the installer are broken. Is this an issue you're looking into right now and/or are there any mirrors to download a version of XZDR?

tested XZDR 2.8.2 again and device was dead. So i gave up, unlocked my device again and flashed DooMKernel with latest dualrecovery TWRP 2.8.5.0 and cwm 6.5.0

Btw thx for your great work, keep it up and have a nice evening :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] bdithug:

Can anyone help me?

As much as I update, making the flash the latest version:

ZL-lockeddualrecovey2.8.9-RELEASE.flashable.zip

The TWRP sticks in version 2.7.1.0
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Try to remove or rename recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma in /system/bin before flashing new recovery (need to flash it then in Philz or in Cwm) or replace it after install by file from zip.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crash338:
Recovery

HI Nut... I zipped the logs from the XZRecovery folder and copied in a notepad my command prompt which doesn't indicate any issues. The phone reboots but fails to go into recovery. From my previous post it was a problem with my tablet Z2 firmware 314 but since I cant stand 5.0.2 I flashed my phone back to 314 and rooted only to find out that recovery doesn't work on the 314 of the phone either. :crying:

Hope you can help, I'm trying to get my phone back on firmware 167 and the tablet on the firmware right before lollipop.

I noticed you made room for 2.8.10...waiting to try and hoping it will work :D

Thanks for your help :angel:
[Sony Cross-Device General] juniorhxcx:
first thank you.

I tried that but it did not work. Continues in version 2.7.1.0

Something else I can do?

I try TWRP this link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/38gxejrk6v3yrxe/TWRP285v4.img

Thanks [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION], works perfectly on my D6503:

- Created a flashable zip using PRFCreator, including your 2.88 and the Baltic Generic 5.02

- Had the same Bootloop issue with Xposed, but fixed using the tutorial already referenced here

Thanks again for all your hard work!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
What rom are you currently using? Did you use any other recovery before?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It is... I was trying to get 10 released last night, but I was so tired I could not find what was causing this problem which didn't place the files where they need to go...

Eventually i fell asleep while sitting behind my PC... Comfy chair :angel:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tboyroy83:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] what would be the change log for 2.8.10 good buddy?

[Sony Cross-Device General] hasona:
Does Xposed work on LP Z2 now or is that still out of reach?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
XZDualRecovery 2.8.10-RELEASE released!

RELEASE Change log:

Version 2.8.10:

Introduced the XZDR.prop variable dr.keep.byeselinux, this is set to false by default but when set to true it will cause XZDR to NOT unload the byeselinux kernel module, which at least helps to get Xposed to work. For any Xposed related bugs, please report them in the appropriate Xposed thread. This setting is now valid for all release types, including the kernel version.

XZDR installer/flashable now checks if it is getting installed on a Lollipop ROM, if so, it will then adapt the location where NDRUtils is installed to the way it is done on Lollipop. This should prevent Android from 'Starting Applications' at every boot.

The download page has gone through a bumpy update, I thought I had all bugs solved, but I was wrong, as you all have noticed :p

The website:

now has a comment section;

has a better structure, offering me the option to still have a clean and easy to use website but at the same time allow me to leave more XZDR versions online;

now has a breadcrum bar, this will allow you to quickly move around;

includes a new version of the Kernel Builder.

The new kernel builder now supports repacking ANY kernel, with one basic but adamant requirement,

they need to be built using the method CyanogenMod uses (the init.sh method)

. This means XZDR Kernel now is available for Stock, Custom Stock (kernels like DoomKernel by [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]), CyanogenMod, OmniRom and AOSP :victory:

Have fun people :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] juniorhxcx:

Steel no recovery access Z1C

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] No recovery access on my Z1C D5503, see attachements

[Update 1]: perhaps because i'm using the version of busybox from playstore!

[Update 2]: steel no recovery access on this firmware (.157) after a fresh install, 2 vibrations ->green led-> red led ->boot normaly,see log 2.8.10 (2).txt

Should use an old version (2.8.3)?
[Sony Cross-Device General] juniorhxcx:
I'm using the OmniRom 4.4.4.

Did not want to use another recovery, was happy with the DualRecovery, however, the more I flashing update Update, do not leave the TWRP 2.7.1.0 version.

I will try to install the new version to see if it changes the TWRP. For although OmniROm is great! I'll try to go for a lollipop, I'll wait a little longer to become more stable.

Tested Lollipop CM12, CM12.1 and Resurrection Remix 5.0.2 only that both had problems during the call, so I'll wait for the new builds.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Omibus:
I am currently on 2.8.7 on my Z2 (D6503) with Lollipop customized DE installed. I think everything works fine (access to all 3 recoveries and root) but i think the phone takes quite a while to reboot. Can this be due to the version of the dualrecovery?

And apart from that, it it possible to just flash flashable version 2.8.10 of XZDualrecovery via the recovery to update or are there any issues with the newer version on Z2?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
By my experience Lollipop boots more or less twice as long as KitKat

[Sony Cross-Device General] Space_pilot:
I have a feeling its like 4x longer for me, because the bootanimation i created from Interstellar movie playing 4 times instead of 1 currently xD

P.S. Sorry for oftop, but just checked the new released EMUI 3.0 for Huawei p7, its just so awesome minimalistic, i wish Sony would spend same effort into theyr UI, and this is a lower-end device..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Omibus:
I just flashed over 2.8.10 and theres no change in boot time. But recovery works still perfectly, so theres no reason not to update.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bdithug:
Yea for me, kit Kat would take 1:45 to boot up completely (Android assistant shows startup time in status bar). Now under LP, it takes on average 2:55 to boot up. So it is quite noticeable
