Oh crap, I probably messed up the theme again... Will get fixed in 2.8.2. Thanks for the bug report!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Been investigating this, but AFAIK all is configured correctly...

Can you adb pull /tmp/recovery.log in TWRP and attach it here?

Good morrow [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Unfortunately, after I flashed 2.8.1 on my Xperia SP I have got the same issue (in TWRP) as before: touchscreen is not working.

But the most serious thing is that flashing 2.8.1 on my phone caused a bootloop. I had to enter PhilZ, flash the XZDR-removal zip and reboot in order to get my phone to boot.

Cheerio
[Sony Cross-Device General] anisingh62:
I am experiencing bootloops on xperia sp when entering ur recovery as your both 2.8.0 & 2.8.1 have this issues so pls resolve it.

Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.1-RELEASE.flashable.zip Link seems to be broken :confused:

Kind regards

meet
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It does, it confirms you flashed/installed the correct package :)

I also got a message with the same remark on the TabZ3C topic, the user there made a notification I didn't realize: the TabZ and TabZ2 both have a default landscape orientation, the TabZ3C has it in portrait! He tried the Z3 twrp on his tablet and confirmed it working OK but a little too small (resolution of the tablet is a bit higher).

I have made the change, the next release will be displaying correctly.

Thank you for your cooperation :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Fixed :o

I've been updating the downloads page. I noticed about 70% of all traffic going out from that server had a direct file link (while I specifically said not to do this) so I have moved the files to an offline location and am using x-sendfile to offer them for download now while redirecting all direct link traffic to the downloads page itself through a warning page.

Also updated my downloads counter code and moved some parts in to a database, so more opportunity for things to break. This case it was trying to include (and save) the old hash file and failed at doing that.

CM12

Hi,

I've flashed CM12 then flashed XdualRecovery 2.8.1. However, my recovery is still Cyanogen recovery. I'm thinking maybe the rom is installing its own recovery everytime.

How do I flash XdualRecovery 2.8.1. then?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Safy4u:
Xperia z1 C6903 locked boot-loader and unrooted

sorry for asking, maybe its a stupid question, but this Custom recovery is for locked boot-loader and unrooted or must be rooted mobile ??

thanks for Answering.
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
Root is absolutely necessary to install this.

Already done mate ... if you use 2.8.1 Release you will have TWRP 2.8.4.0...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
CM/OMNI/AOSP ROM's are unsupported. Sorry mate.
[Sony Cross-Device General] erioho:
Bad news!

But once I use your dualboot in CM11 and it works fine. Now it come with a useless Cyanogenmod recovery.

Everytime I flash new nighty I have to wipe the system, but the recovery can't do that, so always a deadend.

No "install.bat" after unpacking ZL version in Windows 7 - where is it?

"...look for install.bat, double click it to run" - After unpacking ZL version with WinRAR, there's no install.bat - Where is it??? See screenshot below...
[Sony Cross-Device General] casouzaj:
You seem to have downloaded the flashable version, where you are searching for one of the installer version's function.
[Sony Cross-Device General] axel06:
ok, thanks! Found it...

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

I m coming from Samsung Galaxy , so let me make sure I understand the mechanics: Is Xperia ZL is connected to PC via USB cable - is Xperia ZL turned on or turned off?
[Sony Cross-Device General] casouzaj:
You have to enable USB debugging in Developer options. Post here if you don't know how to do it. And you have to connect your phone turned on.
[Sony Cross-Device General] axel06:
Obrigado - I am familiar with USB debugging...so, the phone is turned on and connected via USB to PC and then you click on "install.bat" - right?
[Sony Cross-Device General] casouzaj:
Yes, double click it to launch it. Then, enter the number corresponding to the superuser application you have installed.

someone know a trick way to get the device to power off?

edit... figured it out power + volume up

though i reinstalled v2.8.0 using the installer and the display size on twrp is fine with this version so i'll be sticking with it

The only way I could get the installer to work and to stop getting the "unable to read are you root?" error was to install busybox from the play store.

XZDualRecovery 2.8.2 Released!

RELEASE Change log:

Version 2.8.2:

Fixed TabZ3Compact TWRP layout (changed from landscape to portrait);

Fixed various small issues regarding installation on the new models using a different root tool;

Fixed PhilZ non-functional ADB :victory:

Removed XZDRKernel releases from the regular stream and replaced it with an online kernel builder :cool:

It's still uploading, the files will be online in a little while. The kernel builder is 'live' but using 2.8.1 as base of course, at least until 2.8.2 files arrive online. And as always: don't be shy to report issues, here or by PM! :)

Have fun people :)

--- Edit ---

For the people who are interested to see how it works without the need to abuse it just for the sake of curriosity:

[YOUTUBE]S0BamrsglUE[/YOUTUBE]

This edit is due to the exposure of the kernel builder on the XDA portal, thanks guys :o

I know, and I also know it has some issues. As soon as they are deemed 'solved' I will update twrp as well.

Kernel builder is Great, THX.

But I cant Download my Kernel.

[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
[NUT] is looking into it now, don't worry. This kernel builder is awesome, I have been testing it for a couple of days.

Its just a few debug issues on a live release.

EDIT

It should be working now

[Sony Cross-Device General] Gainer5:
Hi.

The dual recovery works really fine on my Z1c, but I have a suggestion for a new small feature: You could add an option to XZDR.prop so that the user can disable the double vibration thing when booting. It's a bit annoying for myself, but I wouldn't mind in case you don't want to add this feature.

Thanks :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'll add it to the growing list of customization options for 3.0 ;)

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Gainer5:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION], thank you. I'm looking forward to 3.0, but let yourself enough time for it, of course :)

[MENTION=4102242]Gustavo RD78[/MENTION], thanks :D, but I have a Z1c. Can you tell me what you changed, so I can do that, too?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Gustavo RD78:
OOhh!

my apologies ...

... I did not pay attention to this detail! Sorry!

Come on ...

Open the zip regarding Z1C (which is your phone)

search, extract and open it with notepad ++ the dualrecovery.sh file in the /system/bin/

look for these lines:

# Vibrate to alert user to make a choice
ECHOL "Trigger vibrator"
echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable
usleep 300000
echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

now the change:

just uncomment as below "hashtag"

# Vibrate to alert user to make a choice
#	ECHOL "Trigger vibrator"
#	echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable
#	usleep 300000
#	echo 150 > /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

save and add it back to .zip

flash it!
[Sony Cross-Device General] chesterr:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] Bro, so this only works for unlocked bootloader or locked as well because this is your flashable zips right?

or first we need to have unlocked BL to install it then later lock it. I am confused LOL sorry for my misunderstanding :confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well, the kernel version is for unlocked bootloader of course. The locked bootloader variations are just that: for locked bootloader devices :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] wooki:
Hello,

I don't think this will be possible but would be a nice v3 feature: could you add an option to set a pin when launching the recovery? Maybe place the pin in your XZDR.prop (it's to prevent everyone to easily access the recovery).

Send with my Xperia Z3 Compact
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'll add it to the list, not sure if I can make it happen though.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I need someone to test a CM12 kernel repack on an Xperia Z (only the Z, nothing else!!!):

C6603_CM12_XZDRKernel2.8.2-TESTING.flashable.zip

I didn't think it would be this easy, but then again... I'm not 100% sure if this will work or not so:

BE CAREFUL with the recoveries inside this kernel release.

If anyone else with a XZDR supported device with CM11 or CM12 installed wants to have a test version, zip up the boot.img and attach it here. Make sure you mention the CyanogenMod VERSION and the MODEL for which the kernel is meant to be used.
[Sony Cross-Device General] foxmcc8:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] Here you are.It's for Xperia SP(C5303),unofficial CM11 for locked/unlocked bootloader so it uses the official sony kernel.It also has implemented an older version of your recoveries.By the way i am in unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Give this a spin: C5303_LB_CM11_XZDRKernel2.8.2-TESTING.flashable.zip

Make sure you have the possibility to fastboot flash a known good kernel when trying this one. I tried repacking a PAC kernel and flashed it, but that won't even show the kernel logo so far, so: be extra careful!

Things to come:

works the latest version now fine on XZ2 on 4.4.4 and anyone can confirm that ?

Because i aint flash it if i dont know it for sure and i cant have a bootlopp at t he moment, no time to flash a rom.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Dude, I already said that in the past: I am using it myself (I have a Z2 as daily driver). As long as you already have root it should work fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Pandemic:
OKe dude that is cool ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] sigprof:

[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
Hey!

Im new to this with rooting and installing custom roms and firmwares but i thought i could give it a try! Ive successfully unlocked the bootloader on my xperia z1 compact D5503 with firmware 14.4.a.0.157 aswell as rooted it. I was going to install recovery but im lost. How do i do? Which tool am i supposed to use? I tried installing this recovery but it didnt work, i ran the install.bat file and choose to install or rom with supersu which didnt work, then i tried to install on rom rooted with superuser which worked! But the thing is the phone didnt reboot as the guide said it would and i cant get into recovery. The phone works perfectly fine but it doesn't seem like it got the recovery installed. Am i supposed to flash the kernal with XZDualRecovery kernal also? I dont understand :confused:

Please help me :crying:, Thanks in advance :o
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
No, if you unlocked your bootloader, you can download the Advanced Stock Kernel version, if it's unavailable for your FW, you can upload the kernel sin file (extract it from a FTF you have to create using Flashtool, or download a pre-made FTF somewhere) or boot partition image of the running kernel.

Once you have done that, you can extract the new boot.img from the /tmp directory in the zip you download from the kernel builder. This boot.img you need to flash using fastboot to the phone. Then flash the entire zip once more from any of the XZDR recoveries to install NDRUtils.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
Hmmm... okey i think i understood. Ive uploaded the kernal.sin file and got back a zip file of my device. As i understood im supposed to use flashtool and choose "Select system to flash" ( or should i select "Select kernal to flash?) and flash boot.img from inside of the zip /tmp i downloaded and after that flash the whole zip using one of the recovery methods the phone now got?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You won't be able to flash the kernel with the flashmode, so you will have to 'select kernel to flash'. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tars741:
Ahh, thanks mate!

I followed your instructions and everything is just fine now! :D I got my recovery and installed a custom rom (Resurrection remix for Xperia Z1 Compact) which worked out to be excellent :) But i got one small problem left, as i was kinda in a hurry to test my new rom i installed so i forgot to flash the zip for the recovery as said to do when installing a new rom in your guide. Now when i start the phone the only recovery i can get into is Cyanogen recovery or the noraml boot of course. Is that because i didnt flash the zip after the rom? How can i do that now, can i use "Flash Gordan" for example?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
How do i install this dual recovery without using a pc because my usb otg is not working anymore i dont know why..

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
You will need an existing recovery to flash it with. Otherwise you need to use the installer (Via pc) or kernel version (Flashed with fastboot, so again via PC)
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Does z2 have a stock recovery after you rooted it?!
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
No xperia phones have a stock recovery. There is no such thing.

You have to install a recovery yourself. Maybe you should try and fix the issue with your phone connecting to your PC
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
How about I flash the CWM recovery thru my stock recovery is it possible?!
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Because as I just said there is no stock recovery. Xperia phones do not have a stock recovery
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Aw...sorry sir..so only option is to fix first my usb otg problem?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Yes, but its not UDB OTG, that's when you attach a mouse or something like that.

Just attach the phone to the PC and try the following

adb devices

Ensure you have installed all the drivers first. Download flashtool from flashtool.net and then goto C:\drivers and run drivers.exe.

Choose drivers for your device and fastboot and flashtool drivers.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
If you really want to install DR without a PC, it is possible (assuming you have root):

This will not delete the DRM keys.

This will not unlock the bootloader.

Really, it won't do anything except install dual recovery.

1. Download the correct INSTALLER version ???-lockeddualrecovery2.8.2-RELEASE.installer.zip for your device to the internal /sdcard.

2. Use ES File Explorer (or similar) to extract the installer zip to the internal /sdcard.

3. Open a Terminal Emulator session on the device and run the following commands (copy/paste, or use the attached script):

mkdir /data/local/tmp/recovery

# cd into folder where the installer zip was extracted
cd /sdcard/lockeddualrecovery/files

cp dr.prop /data/local/tmp/recovery/dr.prop
cp chargemon.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/chargemon
cp mr.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/mr
cp dualrecovery.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/dualrecovery.sh
cp NDRUtils.apk /data/local/tmp/recovery/NDRUtils.apk
cp rickiller.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/rickiller.sh
cp disableric /data/local/tmp/recovery/disableric
cp busybox /data/local/tmp/recovery/busybox
cp recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp/recovery/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma
cp recovery.philz.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp/recovery/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma
cp recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp/recovery/recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma
cp installrecovery.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/install.sh

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/recovery/install.sh
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/recovery/busybox

cd /data/local/tmp/recovery

# make sure to grant superuser access to
# terminal emulator when prompted
su -c /data/local/tmp/recovery/install.sh

Note: Commands are attached as drdeviceinstall.sh.txt. Download to device and copy to /data/local/tmp/drdeviceinstall.sh, chmod 755 drdeviceinstall.sh, then run the script.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
This is a START..thanks for this Sir it is a very big help now my problem is to know and locate the correct recovery zip file..

Thanks a lot or this..i have hopes that someday i can flash a costum rom..

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

sorry sir but im using Xperia Z2 why does the link give me a Xperia Z1 instruction?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
which link? flashtool.net? That works on all xperia phones running on android.

Download it, install it and run the driver.exe in the folder I told you
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
So I'll just copy this to terminal emulTar and run?

After that I have a recovery then?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Yes, type each line then press enter.

You must have root first

But I do suggest you try to get the PC to recognise your phone as well.

Have you enabled USB debugging
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Anyway sir what do you mean extract the zip to internal sdcard..did you mean na folder inside the zip file?
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Open up the zip and copy all the contents of it onto your sdcard
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Ok DONE sir i've copied it in my external sdcard

Edit:

Is this correct sir that folder was inside the zip file and i extracted it to external sdcard..
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
No you will need all the contents on you sd card, or just change directory in terminal to that location.

Don't forget that the post with the commands contained a script you could use that would do it autamtically for you once you put the contents on your SD card..

you only need to put the files on your sd card that are mentioned in the commands,
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Or maybe this one sir?

I am sorry i am confused on the step 2 method which is the extracting part..am i doing this correct?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcjez15:
Sir kindly check my next post i transferred the zip file to the external sdcard is that what the step 2 means said by sir smith?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cschmitt:
The script is for internal /sdcard, but it can work for external /sdcard1 you just need to change the cd command before the copy:

from

# cd into folder where the installer zip was extracted

cd /sdcard/lockeddualrecovery/files

to this:

# cd into folder where the installer zip was extracted

cd /sdcard1/lockeddualrecovery/files
[Sony Cross-Device General] gregbradley:
Do you know what a zip file is?

Open it up and take the contents from it and put it on your SDcard.

You only need to do it for the files which are mentioned in the commands you need to type/

.

Also, you seem to have a dualrecovery folder already on your SDcard, have you already installed the dual recovery? or is that from a previous installation.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DennisDD78:
Yea, if it would so simple!

At the first time i installed 2.4 version, it doesn`t working, of course. So i deleted the recovery, according the instruction, and installed 2.5 beta, but the phone still doesn`t entering to recovery! WTF ?
