After a nandroid backup TWRP asked me this:

"Fix Superuser Permissions?" "Swipe to Fix Root"

I chose "Do not fix"

Why does this happen any idea [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]?

is it a v2.5 beta bug? or related with it being 4.2.2 firmware?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Not sure, but from what i know, it's safe to let TWRP 'fix' your root. It sets permissions on the su binary if they are incorrect and will install SuperSU if you have no superuser app installed somewhere.

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

i didnt got the link for 2.5beta from op

everywhere it was v2.4 when i click on the click the page doesnt get open

install v2.1 as i have download it before but it didnot work with 4.2.2

i used locked bootloader cwm but after every restart i have to install it again and again
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Grab the 2.5 BETA windows installer, it will work ok on JB 4.2.2 :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] nielneal:

Hmm weird I dont have any problems with root atm. Strange. I will say yes next time TWRP asks will see what happens lol :p

BTW same thing happened to a friend too. He also choose not to fix lol.

I used to be able to use the Rom manager app to speed up backup and restore. It doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there a reason why? Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The download issues are now a thing of the past: it was caused by the success of my .423 flashable release...

Sorry guys!
[Sony Cross-Device General] caqo71:
2.5 beta working perfect on .423 firmware.

Nice Work NUT :highfive:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm... what ROM are you using? And, if it's stock: if you look at /data/media ... does that contain your internal storage or does it all reside inside /data/media/0 ?

My guess is that CWM does not know the new location (yet) and that it just tries to read your old internal storage location...

Thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] *boy*racer*:
It says in my Sig what Rom and stuff I'm running.

Yeah I think your right. So do I have to wait for an update through Rom manager? Or is TWRP faster?

Thanks for your time [NUT]
[Sony Cross-Device General] DennisDD78:
Dear [NUT], would you, please, tell me, i want to install dual recovery 2.5 beta from download page, there`s a 2 files, lockeddualrecovery2.5-BETA.windows.zip and lockeddualrecovery2.5-BETA.zip, what file should i download and install ? My system is Win7 x86.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You will need the windows package (lockeddualrecovery2.5-BETA.windows.zip) if you have no recovery installed now.

You will need the flashable package (lockeddualrecovery2.5-BETA.zip) when you have a recovery installed and want to migrate using recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
TWRP is _much_ faster... honestly :eek: Use that for now. :good:

But I'll see if it is something i can fix. Bit hectic at the moment, it could take a little while.
[Sony Cross-Device General] *boy*racer*:
No problem mate. Take as long as you need. Thanks for replying.
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
I installed it, I have an unlocked bootloader, I turn on the phone and it gives me a pink light and if I press volume-up, it will open CWM, when I wait a little longer it will vibrate and give me a green light and whatever I press I can't get into the other recovery .. can someone please help me out here?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kennethso168:
Has been using your dual recovery so long. And it works fine on the newest 4.2.2 firmware. Thanks!

One small suggestion though - can you pls add back the version number in the readme file of your windows installer? In every version the files look the same which made me accidentally flash v2.4 on my 4.2.2 at first. (of coz I soon realized it wouldn't work and flashed v2.5 again)
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Like this one sir is this correct?!

I am using root explorer should i execute this now?!
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
I don't know sir when I rooted my z2 this folder appears and this is whats inside the folder..
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
How did you root? I have a feeling you have already installed dual recovery.

Why not try entering recovery and seeing....
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Now Im very very much confused..once i opened the zip file there is a folder inside and when i opened the folder another folder also is inside..should i extract everything in it including whats inside the folders?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
I used one of the methods here in xda i just forgot what was it all i remember is one of the steps is once you finished root you need to install this nut dual recovery but i didnt continue bcause of the drm keys/whatevere it is will be lost as what i had read in it..

And also when i reboot to recovery mode it just restarts my phone..it wont go to recovery mode..
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
1) you only lose keys when you unlock the bootloader, not when you install recovery

2) You must have had at one point installed dual recovery to have that folder there

3) How are you trying to enter recovery?

4) Have you installed flashtool yet and run the drivers?

5) Have you figured out how to extract the files out of the zip file?

edit

When the phone boots do you get a vibration of any kind?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Answers:

#3. In entering recovery i was used to this buttons (power+volume up)long press them..

#4. was that the tool you need to install in PC?not yet..(like what i said sir i have issues in connecting my z2 to PC and laptops it is undetectable)

#5. This is where I am very much confused.. I know how to extract files from zip cause I have done this many times (e.g. When installing a modded game you have to extract apk and obb files) but this ones youre telling me is different i dont get it sir..

by the way i am very happy and i appreciate your help to me..

Thanks a lot sir hope you stay online until i finish installing a recovery so that i can upgrade my phone to 4.4.4 and flash the moonwalker theme..hehehe
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
That's not the correct way to enter recovery

Boot the phone then keep hitting the volume up (For cmw recovery) or volume down (For twrp recovery)

Do you get any vibrations when you boot the phone?

(second time of asking)

That tool will help connect yourphone to your pc, please install it and run the drivers.exe (Third time of asking)

Make sure you have the flashable .zip not the installer .zip, but the idea is to extract the files that are mentioned in the commands you need to run so they are in the root of you internal sdcard, not in any folder
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Yes I get vibrations when I switcth off and switc on my phone..

About cwm.img and twrp.img i dont have them both?will hittig the volume up/or still gona work?!

I downloaded it sir from flashtool.net but i cant install it, it says that "this app wont run in your pc"
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
DR includes both CWM and TWRP.

What is the exact name of the file that you downloaded from flashtool.net?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
If you have vibrations when you switch on the phone you already have recovery installed
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
oh..i guess i deleted both cwm.img and twrp.img lately..i thought it was no use for me..

What do i do now should I find another cwm.img again?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
You should try and follow the instructions.

Please tell us which file you downloaded from flashtool.net.

Also please goto

System / bin and see if you have any files in there called

Recovery.cmw.cpio.lzma

Recovery.philz.cpio.lzma

Recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma

You do not need any img files.

Have you tried running the commands yet? Have you managed to extract the files it off the zip file yet?

What you dont understand or howto install recovery and did you had an earlier recovery 1st ?

So yes you needs only to flash it though recovery if you want a update one and if something goes wrong then you have probarly a bad download or didn't installed the correct drivers on you pc, just read the thread better buddy and if you dont understand read it then again ;)

Unable to read XZDR.prop

Any ideas how I can fix a "Unable to read XZDR.prop" error?

I've reinstalled using the install.bat and it is able to get into recovery using up or down volume on my Xperia T when rebooting, but the NDR Utils app just shows the error above.

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
I havent tried running it sir cause im confuse how to extract the files in the zip..

And those recoveries arent in my system/bin
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Open the zip up on your PC and just drag them out on to your desktop.... Or click on the button saying extract all files... Its the easiest thing to do, the file is just like a folder, open it and take the files out of it and put them on the root of your internal storage.

Also, have you downloaded flashtool from flashtool.net? If so what was the file called? sis you download the one for windows, Linux or mac?

You are not telling us any information that could help you....
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Ok I'll try that on my PC..

About the flash tool this is the one that cant be run in my PC

How about that one Sir is that correct the one im uing ES file explorer?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Why can you not run it? What error does it show. Download it on your PC and run it. I take it your PC is windows. The file should be called flashtool-0.9.18.5-windows.exe. Please provide a screen shot of the error if it does not install.

Yes, but extract them to your internal sd card. (SDCARD 1 is your external one) And make sure they are not in any folders.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Wow..it would be pretty many files in my internal root?!

This is the error sir..
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
You only need to specific files that are listed in the commands you have to run, not all of them. And if we sort out the issue with attaching your phone to the PC it will not even be needed

Are you running it as an administrator? What windows version are you running? Is it your PC and do you have admin rights as your user on it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
Has the file download completed? It takes almost 1 hour, the free access is limited to 50K/sec.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Yes I also tried it in Administrator..still cant run it..

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

What you mean by 1 hour sir?!

It takes 1 hour to finish the download?

i downloaded it in upload.to
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
I give up.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Ok, at some point you are going to have to figure out something yourself.

Have you managed to extract the files out of the zip file yet? I am really concerned that if you cannot do that you shouldn't be messing with system files on your phone anyway, you are likely to brick it

Have you managed to install any software on your computer? Do you have admin rights on it? Is it your computer? I keep asking the same questions to you and you keep refusing to answer, you are making it increasingly difficult to help you

I do not blame you
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
I am very sorry sir csmith..

Yes it is my own computer i downloaded flashtool within 3mins. I guess..but when i install it my pc says it cant be run...even in the administration..

my only problem is my usb otg so that everything will be as instructed on page 1..

Because i am afraid messing the system like you said..
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
You are not downloading the correct file. The download should take about an hour to complete
[Sony Cross-Device General] hamsup1o:
[MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION] I applaud you for your patience. people should not be rooting their phone if they can't even get the basics down.

How come my download only takes less than 5 mins..il try it again..

If this still doesnt work i guess i should stay on my stock 4.4.2 build .314..?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Are you using the premium download? or the free one?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
I think i found the flash tool sir..i just downloaded the torrent file..

Is this correct sir?!

I opened it and this poped out?!
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Yes, now run drivers.exe found in C:\flashtool\drivers and choose Z2, flashmode and fastboot drivers.

Then attach the phone to the computer and post the output
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
sir where is z2 driver i didnt find it?

Found it..

What is this installed failed below means sir?

it says device disconnected..still my phone cant be detected in my pc..
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
run drivers.exe

when you have run it you will be asked which drivers to install, choose the z2, flashmode and fastboot drivers

Edit

Run it again. Are you on windows 8? If so you have to turn of signature checks to install drivers.

Have you tried attaching the phone to another PC?

Is your phone turned on when you attach it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Check my upper post sir is it correct?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Why do you not answer my questions that you just quoted?

We have been at this for 2 days now and we are getting nowhere.... I really cannot justify spamming this thread anymore with helping you or justify the time I am spending on helping you when you are not helping me help you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Sorry sir i havent read this qoute..

About attaching my phone to other PC, i also did that but still it cant be detected..

Yes my phone is turned on when i attached it ad usb debugging was checked..

my pc is on win8 and i aslso did turn the signature off..

Sorry for giving such a hard time..maybe my usb port is broken..i guess i better stay on stock Mode..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
Hey!

I would just like to thank you for this awesome recovery, but i also want to ask you something.

I've installed the recovery and everything went great. But when i flashed a rom through the recovery i forgot to flash the recovery. I get into the system but i cant seem to get into the recovery. Even though i installed NDRUtils from market and choose the right recovery (both philz and twrp came up along with the recovery of the rom) but i cant seem to get into recovery.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
If you did not flash the recovery after the rom then you have deleted it as it resides in the system partition that you just flashed.

You will need to install it again.

Which ROM did you flash?

NDRUtils may only work with the correct files from dual recovery being present that you will have deleted.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
Hey!

I installed this rom, http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1...eria-z1c-resurrection-remix-lollipop-t2996231

And when you say, install it again. How do you mean install it again? You mean through the installer from the computer, or too flash the boot.img from the flashtool on the computer or to flash the whole zip file in the phone.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
That rom has recovery in it.

Just hot the volume up or down button repeatedly when the phone is booting up to enter recoevry
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
Where is changelog of 2.8.2?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
I did that and i get to Cyanogen recovery but the weird thing is that i cant seem to have an option to flash anything, i can wipe different parts and update the recovery but i cant flash anything, as i can see.

These are the options i get:

Reboot system now

Apply update

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Wipe media

Reboot to bootloader

Power down

View recovery logs

I've tested apply update but that seems to be for the recovery only updates. I cant flash anything else than that i think.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Try apply update.... Rename the .zip to update.zip and place it on your sdcard
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Clutching at straws there, but worth a try:p

I think adb sideload works though ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Maybe, I have not tried that recovery, so its only worth a bash.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
Didn't work. Same message as earlier without renameing it.

Install failed

E:cannot load volume /misc!

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:footer is wrong

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

E:Cannot load volume /misc!

Any other ideas?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Try adding a different recovery. Look for the FOTA TWRP recovery in the development section
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
Hmm... is that safe? Sorry, im new to this. But i thought i already han recovery files left from this recovery, can i still install another recovery?

And when i install the recovery you suggested (http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719) am i supposed to just flash the img through flashtool?

One last thing, it says it's for amami, what's that? :confused:

I've also tested to do adb sideload from the computer while in the current recovery. It gives the same message as i said earlier.

Thanks for all the help!

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] I Dont know if this ´s been report but, i ve got this error when i try to flash a zip room with twrp dualrecovery 2.8.2 on z1 . ( E: failed to sysMapFile '/external_sdcard/) . First time i install the rom zip without wipe system and cache and everything went ok but i try again after wipe system cache and dalvik and i got that message. I Try with other rom zip (older versión 2.8.1) and everything went ok . Finally i try again ( the one with the 2.8.2 versión) with philz recovery with wipes and everything went ok. So I dont know if there is something weird with twrp or the last dualrecovery. cheers
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well, it's why I stuck to twrp 2.8.3.0 for a while, but it seemed they got it fixed...

I will release a new xzdr soon with the latest twrp (2.8.5.0). I hope that will fix that issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] V4LKyR:
I'm using my D6503 Z2 with [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] ' s CM12 and [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] 's M5 Kernel. And I confirm that this DualRecovery works for me. And so does NDR Utils.

But there's this little problem here: DualRecovery

disappears

everytime I wipe and flash new CM12 image. Not a big deal though, I can still flash it after new ROM install. But you have to install "SuperSU" first. And then select option 1.

[MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION], your statement is false.

My regards.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Well, more recently [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] has been playing around with non-stock kernels, but if you look on the OP it says you need a stock kernel. CM12 does not have that.

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] care to shed any light, have I missed CM integration into this? If so, the OP needs updating... ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, you haven't missed anything ;)

Officially I still don't support cm. Cm 12 however uses the sony chargemon binary and because of that it will work. The only issue you might run in to is the built in kernel recovery booting before Xzdr gets the chance to execute the hijack.

The other issue is that NDRutils is installed in the wrong location for ANT to pick it up... This is why it doesn't run at all or has issues... Installing it from play does however fix that.

I'm still playing around with the cm support, still not entirely done though. Been also trying to complete the kernel support for the S/T/V/TX/TL and that has proven to be more work then anticipated...
[Sony Cross-Device General] V4LKyR:
Like I said, the only problem for me is XZDR being disappeared everytime I flash a new CM ROM. Is the root cause of this the same with XZDR disappearing when BusyBox is installed on stock ROM?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
The reason XZDR disappears when flashing a new rom is because it's installed on the system partition and the rom flash wipes system.
[Sony Cross-Device General] V4LKyR:
So if I untick the "System" under wipe settings on TeamWin recovery, the XZDR won't disappear when I flash a new CM ROM?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
The CM install script wipes system, so you'll just have to flash XZDR after the rom.
