thanks nut

iI'm sorry I just do not understand

This means that for Full working xposed Should change the dr.keep.byeselinux From false to true?

change the dr.keep.byeselinux From false to true Is it really necessary?

or not changing The problem does not exist
[Sony Cross-Device General] mickyw1980:
Changing it to true doesn't work for me ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:eek:

I'm sensing English is not your native language? :p

But, no: when using Xposed, you need to set dr.keep.byeselinux to true. That however does NOT guarantee Xposed in it's current state will work problem free. Xposed for LP is very much an Alpha, which means it effectively not ready to be used on devices that you use every day.

-- UNRELATED --

This was the last time I answer any Xposed questions. I'm not using it, I have no experience with it, I don't know how to fix whatever is wrong with Xposed, that's what it's developer is for. Ask him.

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] thanks for your amazing work. For info there is Lollipop firmware update to Z1 "14.5.A.0.242" if you want to add it to flashable file.
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
Have any error if apk in the /system/app (wrong location in Lollipop)? Or it just annoys with the "Start application..." box at the booting? I'm on 2.8.3 and it works very well for me, I just need rec to flash zip and do backup/restore so I don't care any other features LOL, so I don't need/want to update :D, it's up to me, not mean your work is terrible, opposite it's so amazing.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ravdo:
Silly question here: How do I change the XZDR.prop variable ^_^;
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The beauty of anything newer then 2.8.7 is that it will be able to find it's bearings on it's own and should install the wp_mod from MohammadAG.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It's actually your choice :)

I fixed the app location for people who did have the issue, I had it only once whenever I reflashed XZDR myself, some people had it every boot... Don't fix which isn't broken, right?

Open with root/es file explorer and edit away ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tomoms:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] the XZDR kernel builder has generated a broken kernel for me. I wanted to put your XZ Dual Recovery into Cyanogenmod Android 5.1 kernel for Xperia SP. So I went on you website, went into the kernel builder, uploaded the kernel etc etc and downloaded the resulting zip. When I flash the zip I see this error: "set_perm some changes failed" or something similar and then the Status 7 error.

What can I do? :confused::confused:

Thanks ;)

Btw. using Philz gives my backups the wrong time and date. All my backups are from the year 1970.

BusyBox Problem

hi!

when using your recovery + "synchronize ultimate" app i can not access the sd-card folder from synchronize ultimate application.

it works with several other apps to access the external sd card, but some apps do not work ?!

the original busybox and your busybox (included in recovery) do not like each other (even if i enable the compatibility feature in original busybox pro).

see picture:

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] - Thank you so much for re-uploading the Recovery 2.8.3. This one works perfectly on my Z2 314 firmware. The 2.8.7 and 2.8.10 only gave me the red LED. I think it was 2.8.7 that I used to create my lollipop flashable Zip and the recoveries on lollipop did work without issues but were problematic on KitKat. I sent you a PM with a link to my post with the logs of the recovery 2.8.8 I believe.

Either way.. im good with 2.8.3 so :angel: :angel: :angel: :good: :highfive: :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] gruev:

Install any Z3 ROM?

Does this mean i can install any Sony Xperia Z3 compatible ROM on my Z3 that has a locked bootloader but rooted?
[Sony Cross-Device General] earthtk:
Ohh!! Does it mean that the 2.8.10 version can be flashed over custom stock kernel now? :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] flipside101:
No with a locked bootloader your only able to use Sony signed ROMs, what this means is you can use the dual recovery with asop/cm based ROMs or other kernels on ub devices
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dingoman10:
Hi to all,

first of all big thanks to NUT to have working recovery on 5.0.2 Z3C!!

Thanks for your great work every time again.

I have the Problem that after every reboot of my phone my ringtone is muted an telephone only vibrates.

So I have to change my ringtone after every reboot.

Problem persists since Z3C 2.8.7..

The second problem I have is the following:

I flashed 2.8.10 and my recovery version changed ro 2.8.5. Tried with 2.8.9, 2.8.8 and 2.8.7. In 2.8.6 the version has changed but I cannot find the flashable zip anymore.

Does anyone have the same issues or any solution?

Tried to replace the file recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma in system/bin with the one from XZDR 2.8.10 but version still remains 2.8.5...

Updating from previous 2.xx versions

[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION], I have 2.88 working great on Z2 but there are some Xposed issues. Just checking on the correct method to try out 2.10 - can I simply flash the zip from recovery, or do I need to do a fresh install somehow? After the cleanest way to go about it.

Thanks, great work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
LP on the Z2 has quite a few bugs as well... I doubt the ringtone issue is caused by XZDR to be honest.

TWRP itself is back to 2.8.5.0 in anything except XZDR 2.8.7 (which was the first and only release with TWRP 2.8.6.0). The XZDR version has nothing to do with the TWRP version.

If you don't have a SDcard, XZDR will use the cache partition to store it's logs and config.

Like I said on the OP: the flashable version is made to bring any older version to the latest, installing anything you might need.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gruev:
Do I need to reflash 2.8.10 after changing the value in the prop file?

To clear up, is this right:

false => xposed not working

true => xposed working ?

lost root and recovery [Z3 4.4.4, previous 2.8.3 -> 2.8.10]

Hi,

today i thougt to update my Z3 with running (and rooted) 4.4.4 from XZDR 2.8.3 to 2.8.10

I used the zip for updating and there everything seems to be ok. Still after first normal reboot it looked ok.

Than I tried do go to recovery => did not work and after reboot my Z3 lost working xposed and lost root ability to go to recovery.

I tried to changed dr.keep.byeselinux from false to true => still no xposed and i'm not able to go to recovery.

For me this meens => back to start, root again and then install latest backup (8 minutes before I tried to update XZDR)

Just for others ... maybe it's not working correct way, maybe I did a mistake ....
[Sony Cross-Device General] alinghi100:
- solved -
[Sony Cross-Device General] Crash338:
Recovery worked well on lollilop, if you can't get the newer recoveries to work on Kitkat than try 2.8.3 which works well. I had the same problem on mine z2. Just my 2 cents....
[Sony Cross-Device General] assassinatbuell:
i will go (or stay) on KK => really do not like this new lockscreen (swipe twice just to enter my PIN), miss FlightModus and other simple things ...

When this will be solved (maybe with xposed) i will give it a new try.

No matter how set dr.keep.byeselinux, because module allways loaded

You can check this in adb shell by lsmod

I try true - loaded

I try false - loaded
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Eh, the kernel module is always loaded, but that setting controls if it should be unloaded from the kernel once it gets to the point to boot the ROM like normal...

Do you have /system/lib/modules/mhl_sii8620_8061_drv_orig.ko (tell tale sign of the original byeselinux patch) still installed?

In your script when dr.keep.selinux=false follow command rmmod byeselinux, but seems this command not work proper

And i find another bug. When we use 2.8.3 and bye.bat we can mount system rw because we have disableric and all works perfect

Now you are using wp_mod.ko, but if we not have disableric (fw number not exist in insatlldisableric.sh) system rw not work. And if we delete wp_mod.ko (i don't want this), but we have disableric - system rw not work, this is first problem and a second big problem that after reboot we can't enter in recovery. Only when we put wp_mod.ko back we can enter recovery again.

some help please.

I'm on rooted stock 0.314, Xperia Z2. After installing the latest 2.8.10 dual recovery, the phone reboots as commanded by the script but it doesn't reboot into recovery. instead it just reboots normally. when I try to do it myself, pressing vol down when green light appears, TWRP doesn't boot. :(

gonna clean flash 0.314 on Fashtool, and then try with 2.8.7 instead. wish me luck..

omg with 2.8.7, it STILL doesn't boot into recovery. can someone tell me if it's my firmware problem or what?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Wiltron:
Heya [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I just did a fresh FTF flash of KK 157 on my C6906 (Z1). It was pure stock directly from the sticky in the General section of XDA.

I rooted it by flashing the 108 Kernel, then back to the 157 Kernel, and all is well. TiBu and SuperSU (latest versions from Play Store) all work well, and root access is being given to ADB and other apps.

I then downloaded all three of the Installer files, 283, 287 and 2810.

I ran the installer for 283, and followed the prompts - it reboots into recovery however the screen is frozen. I see all the buttons like INSTALL and what not, but it's frozen and unresponsive. After ~3 seconds, it reboots back to the Sony logo. I can at this point re-enter recovery with the vol.down method, and repeat the above with the frozen/reboot thing, and can keep doing this, or if I leave it be, green LED and two short vibes later, and it boots into the normal phone software. Confirmed at this point that I'm rooted still and on KK 157, all is well.

I figured that the installer was out of date, so I installed 2810 - couldn't use flashable, as I couldn't get into the recovery to do so, as explained above. Again, all is well, reboots, Green LED For less than a second, Red LED for 2 seconds, two vibes, but then it boots normally. This is on the ADB reboot command, before I "press any key to continue". I can not access recovery at all, either with NDR or Vol.Down. I am still rooted at this point.

Tried installing 287, exact same results as the 2810 as explained above.

Tried reinstalling 283, exact same results as the 283 run above.

I looked at the logs in the folders, there's no ERROR codes or anything. It thinks all is good, but clearly it's not.

My ext_SD card is not encrypted or anything, and before I did the FTF Flash, I was on 5.0.2, but buggered my installation with Xposed, so I FTF'ed to 5.0.2 and ran not-rooted all day yesterday. I started the process of 4.4.4 > Root > flash 502-prerooted this morning, but can't get into recovery. I can't upload my prop file, but rest assured I've not changed or opened it at all. It's the default as installed by any of the above installers.

EDIT 1 - Added "OLD" log, that I forgot originally.

EDIT 2 - I used Flashtool version 0.9.18.5 for any and all flashing related tasks mentioned above. Java 8 Update 31. Windows 7 x64, fully up to date.

EDIT 3 - I was finally able to get into TWRP recovery, but had to install the extremely outdated version found HERE. Flashing 2810 in outdated TWRP (v.2.6.1.0) was successful, confirmed root status after reboot, was still rooted.

EDIT 4 - I just used the flashable 2810 zip. No change from the original problem of 2810 above. Flashing 283 to confirm "frozen/reboot" is still a problem.

EDIT 5 - After flashing old TWRP version from EDIT 3, I entered recovery and flashed XZDR 283. Rebooted, still rooted, rebooted into recovery, frozen/restart issue present.

I don't know what else to do here.. I've exhausted all my options.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ondrejvaroscak:
Read OP properly. You should NOT use busybox. Necessary busybox is included in recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
From the specs of the S:

4.3" touchscreen - scratch-resistant TFT

16 million colours, 1280 x 720 pixels

So my guess is no as at the moment the skins for both recoveries are created for Full HD. My future plans do include other models though...

However, now I'm getting "Android is Upgrading, Optimizing apps" with a countdown of 76 apps with every reboot. It's not really a problem, just an annoyance because it adds about a minute to every reboot.

I had this same issue on a previous ROM after I installed CWM. I never figured out how to fix it, despite looking at nearly every page on this forum dealing with the topic.

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
It's weird though... there should be no reason for your phone to do this, as XZDualRecovery does not touch the userdata partition... :confused:

If it started doing this right after installing XZDualRecovery without using either recovery, then I'm fresh out of ideas...

If this started happening right after using either recoveries: Maybe try to fix permissions using TWRP? But to be honest, its a guess there...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dr_SUSE:
Turns out it was PureXAudio causing the problem. It's a common bug with that audio enhancement.

I got rid of the problem by re-flashing the rom (odex'd, FYI), and flashing the XZDR immediately after rooting. Problem solved.

Hi, how to make rom backup faster? Tried using rom manager but it's not working. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
As the current CWM is unaware of the New internal storage, try moving the settings files to /data/media/clockworkmod from /data/media/0/clockworkmod and it should work faster again.

You can also use TWRP, which is faster in creating backups in any case.

I ran the installer and everything looked good with no errors

(so I didn't save the log sorry) but i can't enter recovery and just get red led.

I then ran your 2.8.3 installer and everything ran ok again with no errors and success I now have dual recovery.

Anyway, I don't have a Z1 Compact myself, only a Z1, so I am unable to test that myself. I have seen more then enough reports on this topic which say it works fine.

To be able to install it when you don't have recovery yet, you need to be rooted at least. The unrooted installation option works only for certain KitKat releases.
