I had facing the same problem as you. Even worse when I flashed Z1-XZDRKernel2.7.99 by tarp ended up phone can't on. So I flashed 534 and install .94 dualrecovery with option 3. So my phone was rooted. Flashed. 681_flashable.zip and. 681 stripped.ftf. Booted up and installed. 681_patch. Installed .99 dualrecovery. Installed sdfix and everything works as nut said and enjoy.

my SG device: Z1 rooted 681 ROM by NUT with 2.7.99 patched xzdualrecovery, mod by GavityBox 3.0.0 b5. Samsung S2 standby for Z1 when Z1 no power.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Heh ... well... remove the -R in the if statement (just realized it's redundant anyway).

If you look at /system/bin do you see the files recovery.[twrp/cwm/philz].cpio.lzma there? If so, open chargemon there in a filemanager app as text file, is it with an XZDualRecovery head?

If you have to answer those 2 both with no it might still not be able to copy files in to system...

In the same file, go to line 88, clear a line between the remount of / and /system and add this:

${BUSYBOX} blockdev --setrw $(${BUSYBOX} find /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ -iname "system")

Make sure it's located BEFORE the remount of /system!

And try again...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Celestial Fury:
After updating to .136, it fixed the problem and i could install XZDualRecovery (don't remember what version) but now the same problem is back with 2.7.99 and installation fails.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lil-diabo:
Really strange...

I've added that line into 88

The install now works with no errors or warnings (thank you)

I've got all 3 of those recovery files in my /system/bin folder [twrp/cwm/philz]

The chargemon file does have XZDualRecovery head, but for some reason, it won't boot into any of the recoveries.

Even using your NDR Utils app and selecting a recovery and rebooting just reboots the phone

One thing I have noticed is the LED, starts off Green, which is normal.

As soon as I press any of the keys (volume and camera) to enter the recoveries the phone vibrates and the LED glows red, then the Xperia logo eventually shows like a normal boot
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Reboot once more and right after the reboot grab the xzdualrecovery log files and attach them here please.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lil-diabo:
I've attached them for you here.

Thanks for all your help with this. I've seen some errors already - recovery file doesn't exist?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you please check in android terminal or an adb shell:

busybox --list | grep "lzma"

What does it return?

For some reason unpacking the lzma archive fails...

You're not running a custom kernel perhaps?

All of a sudden I realize what's wrong...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=5588063]lil-diabo[/MENTION]

New EDIT, then try to install it again, it's easier this way:

in files/chargemon.sh look for line 197, make some room just below it and enter:

${BUSYBOX} blockdev --setrw $(${BUSYBOX} find /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ -iname "system")

Then try to install again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] lil-diabo:
I do have the Bootloader unlocked and I WAS running Doomkernel but not anymore, I actually flashed your stripped stock Kernel again this morning, just to make sure I was back on stock so that When I manage to get into TWRP I can relock the Bootlader with my TA backup

Used this file: C6903_14.3.A.0.681_Stripped.ftf (20.64MB)

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I actually expected that, read my post just above yours :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] lil-diabo:
It works!

Thanks so much! I have recovery :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Good :D

Thank you for helping to debug this, you earned my limitless gratitude for your patience and cooperation :good:

2.7.100 now on the downloads page for the Z1, will update for the Z1 Compact and Z Ultra later today.
[Sony Cross-Device General] loveninecube:
Hello [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] and [MENTION=5588063]lil-diabo[/MENTION], I'm using XZ1 flashed RomAur 6.1.

I was waiting for fixing XZDualRecovery, I flashed .100beta and recovery working fine.

Many thanks for yours :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Klaus N.:
Well, I don't know, what went wrong:

I'm also on RomAur v.6.1 with ub. I've got the advanced stock kernel v.2 by DooMLoRD. Now at first I flashed the Z1-XZDRKernel 2.7.99, after that without a reboot the Z1-lockeddualrecovery 2.7.100, and it stucks in a bootloop. Also a wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and format system, followed by flashing the XZDRKernel, dualrecovery mentioned above, and after that a new install of RomAur, didn't succeed: Again bootloop...

I give up: Flashed DooMLoRD's advStckKernel via fastboot and it works again; unfortunately I've got now only CWM, indeed :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Best thing you can do is to reflash ROMAUR and try again. You won't need to clear dalvik or wipe data that way but you will freshen up your system partition.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Come to think of it, the reason why I released a new locked bootloader version is also a good reason to revamp my kernel version.

I'll release it later tonight. :cool:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Klaus N.:
@[NUT]

Thank you for the reply. I've already 3 tries behind me, also one with system wipe and one without it. No chance, at first it booted only to the "Xperia"-logo, then it freezes at the bootanimation one moment and reboots again.

I think, I'll wait for your new kernel and give it a try :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Is there any bugs on 2.7.100 version?

I was just wondering why the topic title still shows 2.7.94 version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Not necessarily, but some of the supported devices did not yet receive the same update. .94 is the latest common version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
For the Z1, Z1 Compact and the Z Ultra XZDRKernel 2.7.100 is now online.

Changes to the ramdisk:

Does not mount securityfs and will skip enabling the built-in kernel sony_ric protection

The RIC service has been set to 'disabled' which means it will never start on it's own

fstab.qcom patched to allow /system to be mounted RW by any mount command.

Run recovery from the 'on early-fs' stage, which means it will run before any EMMC partition has been mounted and will outsmart the /system/bin/mr tool enabling flashing stuff straight from any app which supports it.

After flashing this kernel you can run the XZDR Removal tool, after which you will need to flash the kernel package once more to reinstall NDRUtils or install it from Play or alternatively you can remove the ROM recovery by hand and replace the ROM's chargemon script with the backup binary to allow offline charging.

Have fun :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Cookie Ninja:
[MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION],

Thanx, the script works fine. Btw, the stop script. Sh file exists at the folder, with the very same text, but was not rwx, maybe that's why I lost write permission & conflict with script and ric causes reboots? Needs to be resolved by OP and maybe a workaround given in the first post (OP).....

Dead cookies leave no trails...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Actually, its more a root issue specific to CWM: it asks to disable this script every time you try to reboot out of it...

TWRP does not ask and does not touch that install-recovery.sh.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Ok thanks [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] So selecting yes when rebooting in CWM disables the script. and no leaves it as it is right?

Edit: I'm on pure stock kernel with no recovery ATM, that's why I had to do it manually.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes. That's correct.

--- EDIT ---

Updated the known issues on the OP to include info on that and how to fix it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Darkfunnyguy:
After I have installed .434, rooted, installed recovery, copied .253 zip file to sdcard1.

Can I update the .253 firmware via pc companion then boot into recovery then install the .253 zip file or do I used your .253 stripped ftf firmware using flashtool as I tried this which resulted will not boot up just a black screen so do I need to update to .253 firmware first?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you take this question to the Rom thread please? That has nothing to do with the recoveries...

Don't worry m8, I'll answer your question, but just not here. Hope you understand.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AENIGMA:
nobody?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
See known issues in OP, try CWM.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
RELEASE Change log:

Version 2.2:

Fixed ZL Keycheck

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!

Changed the links in the OP, the files can also be found on my files storage (see link in signature).

upgrade question

in order to upgrade to your RECOVERY I have to go through How to update using recovery:

Flash the lockeddualrecovery-RELEASE.update.zip file using CWM or TWRP, done recommendation on the OP, am I right?

currently I'm using CWM6- cDM-v2.1. thx in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I think i understand you have XZDualRecovery 2.1 installed? If so: yes, just flash it using either TWRP or CWM.

If not, install it using recovery with the lockeddualrecovery2.2-RELEASE.zip (flashable installer)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Peanutboy:
Hi i hope that you could be my salvation. I'm about to have a breakdown...since yesterday i've been trying to get Auras 4.1 new ROM (1.253 fw)...followed all the steps...and then i couldn't get into recovery. I read the last pages adressing the cache problem, tried flashing the zip you provided with flashtool, but nothing changed. I've been trying to get your recovery (and others) to work on Stock .434 fw and nothing changes...i don't know what else to do, not even working after a clean installation of stock fw. The green LED appears, but it doesn't get into recovery. Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you try using release 2.1 from my files storage? Link is in my signature...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Peanutboy:
that's what i've been using, lockeddualrecovery2.1-RELEASE.installer...should i try with v2.2?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
What type of phone do you have?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Peanutboy:
I Have Xperia ZL, locked bootloader.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Then you even _should_ be using 2.2 :p

Can you try that now?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Peanutboy:
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD IT WORKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED I FREAKING LUV YA :') , this version was released today, right? that's why i haven't tried it yet. oh my god thank you so much :) (i feel super extra dumb :D ). Thanks for ever.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes, it actually introduced support for ZL C650x models :D they use a different device node to register key inputs FYI :rolleyes:

Your welcome :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] devilmaycry2020:
there is no new XT version anymore ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Not yet, fixing recovery on KK for the Z1/Z1C and ZUltra took precedence ... sorry :)

I intend to get you guys a new version soon :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] mynameisjon:
Do I need to flash the dual recovery separately with this kernel or is it already included?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Noted point 4, did you not?

LOL. Oh look, it's Yuga!:D

Sorry for the (probably) obvious questions. I am running version 2.7.86 (installed via windows installer) and finally after many hours have root on build .109 (yeah)

I want to update to recovery version 2.7.95 and I have some queries concerning this below

How to install or update using a previously installed (XZDualRecovery) recovery:

Create a backup of /system/bin/chargemon and keep it somewhere safe, then just flash XZ/ZL/TabZ/Z1/ZU-lockeddualrecovery[VERSION]-BETA.flashable.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com using CWM or TWRP.

How do I create a backup of /chargemon - do I use this recovery, titanium backup, or merely copy the file, and place it somewhere - and why is this necessary? (I think just in case you remove the recovery, you can replace one file with original one?)

Why should I need to flash the update as opposed to using the windows installer

Do I need to do anything with busybox?

When you create a backup of the tablet, will it over-write the previous backup, and will an old version backup still restore with new version recovery?

Update 01/04 [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] can you help me out here please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] fer2503:
So the .100 version is better for unlocked bootloader. The LB users can still use the .99? :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] whocares2:
HELP !!!

Hello,

I was on nut 4.3 rooted rom, and before updating to 4.4, I tried to update to 2.7.100 XZDualRecovery since I was not knowing which recovery I was having...

Unfortunatly, I did not backup the chargemon as was asked :( :( :(

Well, the 2.7.100 seemed to flash ok, but when I chose to reboot to recovery to flash the 4.4 update, all I got was a black screen. And now my phone do not boot.

Can someone explain me what happened and what I have to do to recover my phone ?

I seem to have access to service mode, but I do not know which sony sa0xxx I have to install

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aid777:
If that happend to you, I definitely want to know the correct way to backup chargemon!

If this had happedd to me, I would be pissed, and would just take a leap of faith and flash my phone again with a previous FW, and start the root, and recovery process all over again. Can you get into flash mode using Flashtool.

I think if you power on and hold both volume buttoms that might do something.........
[Sony Cross-Device General] AngelBob:
Backup of chargemon won't help if a new ROM won't boot, the new ROM will have chargemon in it anyhow.

You can check by looking in the zip, it should be in /system/bin

Either as chargmon or if they already bundled xzdr it should be chargemon.stock
[Sony Cross-Device General] whocares2:
I got service mode working and successfully flashed and booted several times 534 NUT FTF. Then, each time I try to restore my previous .136 nandroid backup, I end with the same problem, even with MD5 check. The same result is obtained with .100, .97 and .94 recovery. I could not test with the .80 that came with the 136 4.3 ROM since it is no more available.

Is it a known problem not to be able to restore a TWRP backup trough TWRP ??? What can I do?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DIXES:
It seems that TWRP 2.7.0.0 (I'm using .100 beta) can't backup stock (odex) 4.4.2.

It will be failed when TWRP backup /system.
[Sony Cross-Device General] whocares2:
Well, I finally managed to install Nut .681 4.4 rom directly over a.534 rooted one after a full wipe, and then I did only restore the data partition. So I did get back most of my phone. Sad thing that TWRP does not work well.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

The problem was not that I could not backup a 4.4.2 install, but that after having installed the newer recoveries over my 4.3 install, my phone only allowed service mode, and neither did those same recoveries permit me to restore the 4.3 backup after.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eventhough the next XZDualRecovery build does not increase the TWRP version, some patches will have been integrated, fixing that issue. Contacted TeamWin for that, they confirmed the bug has been fixed :good:

i am having a problem getting in to the recovery

when the device reboot after installation the led lights up green for couple of seconds then flashes pink and goes to red

then it boots to system

i use XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.86-BETA.installer and 94 and 95

stock 10.3.1.A.2.67

i tried using supersu and and the 3rd option (no root)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Rootk1t:
after using DIY Guide to build ROM with 2.7.86 version, i also didn't manage to enter recovery on my TabZ. Then i rebuilt ROM with 2.7.81 and it works perfectly. So smth is definitely screwed up.
[Sony Cross-Device General] groperfish:
Hi all.

Have run into a bit of trouble.

Tried to flash a custom rom (Have unlocked the bootloader, was running rooted stock 4.4.2).

I did as instructions stated, went to flash ZIP files from external SD card using TWRP, after wiping everything (except my external SD card).

Received an Error message stating 'Failed', in red. Something about system.

I did a reboot, now stuck on Sony logo and cannot access CWM or TWRP.

Would really appreciate any help. Arrrgh! Need to go to work in a few hours! I'm an idiot for trying this so late.

Thanks kindly for any help.

[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.101 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 2.7.101:

KitKat security breakdown, XZDualRecovery disables all the Sony&KitKat security measures, making sure you have a 100% accessible system partition.

Migrated to CM11 to build all the recoveries

Updated PhilZ Touch Recovery to 6.25.0 on all devices, thanks to [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION]

Updated CWM to 6.0.4.7 on all devices

Updated TWRP to 2.7.0.0 on all devices (Including some patches which fix bugs but oddly didn't warrant an increase of the version number!)

Fixed mounting the external and internal SDCard on the Xperia T/V/TL/TX (Tested only on JB4.1)

Introduced the XZDualRecovery Advanced Stock kernel, integrating core XZDR functionality, because of this the NDRUtils app can be used to reboot to any recovery. The kernel version does not yet support the init.d implementation, next version should introduce it.

Various changes and updates too small to mention.

I've decided to do a feature freeze, the 2.7 BETA branch has broken the magical 100 updates barrier... so it's time:

From this moment onward, the 2.7 branch will only get bugfixes to fix what has not yet been fixed, any new features will go in to a new branch.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Bug reports should from now on be reported using the DevDB bar at the top of this page. Make sure you include EVERYTHING you possibly can when reporting bugs. I will from now on IGNORE all bug reports on the topic. If I request you or anyone else to create a bug report as a result of a help request, PLEASE DO SO: your bug will NOT get fixed otherwise!!

Please test any version you can, try EVERYTHING (backup, restore, flashing stuff, advanced features, adb, adb sideload etc, etc, etc!) and report any bugs on the Bug Tracker!

Loads of tiny tidbits are most certainly left to fix, help me find them!

question

I recently flashed my s4 from sprint to cricket and Im not getting data sms mms nothing besides wifi which I always got...Before I did all this I made a nandroid with twrp, and I also made a nv items and efs backup, Im asking this question bc I never took screen shots of the sprint info before attempting flash to cricket...I was also having that "Establish connection problem" with adding my google account. So after the backups I flashed sacs rom,... I dont know where things went wrong with the flash so i wanna start fresh back from the tw-rom. If I restore all those backups will the original sprint info be available again? If any1 thinks they can help me out with the carrier flash rather then me having to do everything I mentioned, I would surely appreciate it. Ive never came across this problem when flashing devices.Thanx
