Thanks, I'll test it in some minutes.

I restored my TA and relocked the BL (thought this wouldn't work without full root, but it worked), I'm doing another backup with TWRP (XZDualRecovery 2.7.78), then I'll instal version 2.7.80.

Also I'm uploading C6943_14.2.A.1.136_Generic_BR_1276-7099_R3B.ftf , but need more 40 minutes (at this moment I'm using a 30Mbps downlink / 2Mbps uplink).
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Okay, poke me in the update thread when done uploading :)

Let me know how 2.7.80 is working :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.80 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 2.7.80:

Fixed a bug in the chargemon script, somehow something got deleted at some point which explains why people saw XZDR blow itself to bits after updating to 2.7.78 :eek:

Revised the rickiller once more... hopefully this time to stay this way for quite some time to come. It now makes sure you do not need a patched kernel when using XZDR on a Z1 and Z Ultra with an unlocked bootloader. :fingers-crossed:

Remaining issues to be solved:

PhilZ mount USB feature isn't working correctly... it seems I've mixed up the USB product id's on the Z1 and Z Ultra releases;

Creating a backup of SD-EXT partitions is still not possible.

:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
Full Root on 14.2.A.1.136 with Locked and Unlocked bootloader? Check :good: (with XZDualRecovery 2.7.80).

C6943_14.2.A.1.136_Generic_BR_1276-7099_R3B.ftf in 20 minutes :)

I'm testing another features of version 2.7.80, until now I think it's stable enough to announce it on OP.

Will you not be able to get root for the D5503, using a similar method you have for the Z1 locked bootloader. I can unlock my bootloader but would prefer to backup my TA partition.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
To be able to do such a package locked bootloader root must be available...

I don't know if you would be able to flash a rootable z1 (534 or 257) version on your phone...

The compact is basically identical except for the screen size, right?

It will be risky, but might be worth playing around with?
[Sony Cross-Device General] nintendolinky:
A huge ask, but if you could provide the necessary files I will try. Possibly install 534 or 257 of the Z1 firmware, root, and then install the correct files for the D5503 Z1C.

There is a rooting guide in the z1 general forum too.
[Sony Cross-Device General] yurtseven:
backup to ext. sdcard?

Does PhilZ Touch recovery doesn't backup to external sdcart? i did a backup and it was in de internal storage.

And whats the difference between PhilZ Touch recovery and TWRP? as they have the same kind of options?

Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
For Philz select backup to /storage/sdcard1. That is the external sd card path.

TWRP uses a different backup format to cwm/Philz. Explore the menu options and you will see Philz has many more settings and customisations :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] yurtseven:
I can't change To sdcard1 it stays on sdcard.

And when I reboot from recovery it doesn't boot I have to make a hard reset.

Just a suggestion, remove the old remaining open issues (Post #3) from old versions like 2.7.77 and 2.7.78. Open issues are only important in the current version not in the old ones :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Nah, when it gets released as the next RELEASE package it will get overhauled anyway... That and I'm just too lazy/busy to edit them :p

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] Support for Z1 compact in near future? I´m trying o follow a japanese guide for rooting xperia z1 f with locked bootloader on compact but i do not have any recovery installer with proper recovery for compact and no stripped ftf and no knowledge to do such things
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I will add support for the Z1 Compact soon. Did the rooting guide help you gain root?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funiewski:
Here it the guide

Here's how-to, but I can't confirm so it's risky.

DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU CAN'T RECOVER FROM BRICK.

Requirements

SO-02F_14.1.H.1.281_docomo.ftf

C6903 14.1.G.1.534 ftf and prerooted zip renamed to "cwm_prerooted_Z1.zip" (Put it in internal storage)

prerooted zip for Z1 Compact 14.2.A.1.114

XZDualRecovery + rootkitXperia

XZDualRecovery

1. Flash SO-02F_14.1.H.1.281_docomo.ftf

Wipe: Check all Exclude: Uncheck all

2. Boot and enable USB debugging and Unknown sources

3. Flash C6903 14.1.G.1.534

Wipe: Uncheck all Exclude: Check all but system and kernel

4. Boot and wait 5 minutes.

Display will be blank, but don't worry, you can see screen with DDMS if you want.

5. Run XZDualRecovery + rootkitXperia's install.bat.

This will root with CVE-2013-6282 and install recovery.

It will reboot automatically when completed.

6. Press volume up to enter to CWM

cwm_prerooted_Z1.zip will automatically installed and reboot when completed.

7. Shutdown with volume up + power long press, then enter to flashmode

8. Flash SO-02F_14.1.H.1.281_docomo.ftf's kernel and rpm.sin

Wipe: Check all Exclude: Check all but kernel

9. Boot and install XZDualRecovery

10. Install prerooted zip for Z1 Compact 14.2.A.1.114 (and flash stripped ftf?)

11. Done!

It´s working untill point 8, after flashing docomo kernel and rpm and restarting i got bootloop after sony logo, i can reach earlier flashed z1 recovery, but internal sd was wiped during process and cwm can not mount external sd, twrp can but resolution is wrong, so i´m stuck there and have to re-flash stock ftf for compact
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=3340721]funiewski[/MENTION] what is the code name for the compact? I'll try to compile a twrp for you to replace the one inside the xzdualrecovery installation package.
[Sony Cross-Device General] funiewski:
D5503 Amami
[Sony Cross-Device General] Celestial Fury:
I tried to install the latest 2.8.80 and it still failed. It says finding package, installing package, then installation aborted.

Do I need to have init-d enabled or something? Or the UTC? Backup is ok but even though I set the right UTC for my region it still shows 1977 year and wrong time. On 2.7.77 locked stock. 290.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Are you able to allow me ssh or vnc access to your pc to be able to use ADB and try to debug it?

-- EDIT --

If you can, update to .136, It fixed this problem for some other users too...
[Sony Cross-Device General] rkdss:
Friends, my recovery when selected to enter recovery menu by energy, he did not enter in any way if I do not choose which desire. By nature, he should go to Philz, correct or not?

I use TWRP version 2.7.76 with update.

Stock 4.2.2 DE

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yes, it should but only since the reboot recovery got introduced. Update to the latest and it should work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] 3r1k:
Any idea why my phone doesn't do anything after installing the .bat file? on 14.2.a.1.136 rom. Unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'm assuming you have a Z1 or ZU, just before installing type this in android terminal:

su

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable

Then start the installer.

But remember it needs to be rooted for it to work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] 3r1k:
Thanks Nut. I know you have provided all the steps.

I prefer the easy method if there is one where I just flash the latest .ftf and get recovery then root it via recovery. or is it not possible?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I'm afraid not dude... This probably is the easiest route.

You can try to find a custom kernel with recovery though... It can be a kernel not meant for this rom too, as long as you don't boot in to system all should work out fine.

Flash custom kernel;

Flash xzdualrecovery in recovery:

Flash supersu in recovery;

Flash back stock kernel;

Done :good:

The choice is yours. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] rkdss:
I did what you asked, however unsuccessfully. :crying::crying:

my device does not boot into recovery, he gets red light shortly after the green led.

Only rises Purple led if I press one of the volume buttons up or down.

Could tell me what could be? :confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] i just formatted my sd-card like you said... still the same error in twrp...

also i tried to flash 2.80 recovery and it fails with a similar error... i can't use philz because it won't detect my sd-card at all...

anyone idea what can be causing this? i'm on jellyslim from for by jfxperias btw.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Isn't that an aosp rom?
[Sony Cross-Device General] shteren:
nopes, quite light stock rom, best battery life and very smooth. i really like it.

Edit: [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION] well... i just updated to .136 using your flashable, great work btw! it took 5 minutes and it's working fantastic, full root, got xposed working right away :) kept all my data and apps from jellyslim :)

anyway i went into recovery again and surprise, i can backup and everything using the SD card... something with [MENTION=5076195]jfxperias[/MENTION] rom was messing it up, jf you might want to check into that...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:eek:

LoL ... :confused:

Well... as long as it works ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Well... find NDR Utils in the app drawer, it will reboot your device in to any recovery you like.

The menu system must be incompatible with both the old school boot file and 'reboot recovery' type reboots...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Will attempt to build CWM for it first, I just created a device config for it (there was none for CM yet!).

When CWM builds ok, I will be trying to build TWRP next.

-- UPDATE: CWM built OK, will attempt TWRP now :)

---

Good news for the Xperia ZR (C5503) users: building as we speak :D

Release of the first version will be within an hour or so. Now online on the downloads page!

---

Will build Xperia P and J versions next. Probable release will be sometime tomorrow.

Adding support for the Xperia T as well :)

Xperia Z1 Compact version is on the downloads page now

You can download it and update the one you currently have installed.

Copying the recovery lzma files to /system/bin/ will do though, my guess is that [MENTION=5169444]RyokoN[/MENTION] has used the latest version to build his guide package.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=2191528]dooby-doo[/MENTION]

[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I've hit a snag on the Xperia J and P versions... I don't know if I will be able to release them this weekend...

Hope to fix it soon though :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lasantha:
installed latest on ZR need rezising both.phils touch buttons off,twrp unusable as install back up and mount icons take 2/3 of screen. Fist reboot after installation dint go to recovery and using reboot to recovery from xposed module gravity box menu didnt work either.it also seemed to effect remount reboot fix.when folder mount starts im ina boot loop.and remount reboot fix satys at witing for device :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Sorry about the tantrum it throws... I hope you can recover from that bootloop...

You can create a file called 'donotrun' inside the XZDualRecovery folder on your sdcard using a pc. That way it should skip running the built in ric killer and you might be able to recover from the bootloop.

Thank you for testing, can you take some pictures to show how it looks at the moment?

The ZR resolution is 1280x720 isn't it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] funiewski:
Many thanks:) started rooting process, you are great
[Sony Cross-Device General] sijav:
Yep, It is 720p or XHDPI resolution

and [MENTION=4150165]Lasantha[/MENTION] he doesn't says bootloop,

what he says is remount just take forever (it doesn't work!) maybe some busybox problems? with miui your busybox is unusable though
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lasantha:
It's not taking forever but when folder mount starts phone reboot..
[Sony Cross-Device General] ralf_waldo:
Maybe it's the busybox issue. Flashing a different version of busybox other than the one which was used to root the phone might cause the semi root issues!!.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tuzmaster_v2:
i use installer to install recovery and after that, everything in my internal storage got wiped, all my music, photos are now gone, i didnt make any backup :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:eek:

How the :x
[Sony Cross-Device General] tuzmaster_v2:
well i thought i was dreaming, didnt expect that, i'll try to redownload my photos, hope they're somewhere on facebook.

anyway, TWRP works fine, Phil Recovery's button needs to be resized.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Okay... Sorry about that 'little' issue. I didn't expect that either!

I know what part is responsible for this behavior, just didn't expect it to malfunction: it has been working fine since version 1.6... But it has been developed with the Xperia Z and ZL as base device.

I was planning a change which would have rendered this feature useless and it would have been removed as a result...

I'll attach a debugging file for you to run, it emulates getting in to recovery (without actually doing so) and gathers info for me to analyse... It will be non destructive for your files.

Don't use recovery for the time being: it will destroy your files each time you try to enter recovery.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tuzmaster_v2:
I'd help you with that, i wont blame you so worry not :)) thanks for your hard work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] rkdss:
Thanks Nut. I traced the application and selected the recovery of Philz, previously was in CWM. Maybe that's why he was failing.

:D :D :D :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Could be, they all 3 are included though :)

Philz gets set as default by the scripting, don't know why though, I personally prefer twrp :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Please do report the results and if the theme on TWRP isn't working correctly, please do take screenies/photo's to help me fix it. PhilZ Touch has buttons which will get resized next version.

Well, if the busybox XZDR installs is replaced, chances are the recovery will stop to function. It leans heavily on lzma functionality (lzcat).

That does seem to be RIC related, though it should fix that...

It sounds plausible, depends on where the new busybox gets stored, if it removes the one inside /system/xbin the ric killer will stop to function too.

(forgot to post this yesterday!!)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.81 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 2.7.81:

Updated dualrecovery.sh to work with a reasonably big change: Before this version it would try to clean up the kernel ramdisk before unpacking the recovery ramdisk. Instead it will now create a folder, unpack everything there and then chroot in to that folder executing the recovery's init. This prevents accidental wiping of partitions or mount locations XZDualRecovery does not know about and does not unmount before it starts recovery.

By default, all previous versions would copy all the recovery files from /system/bin to /sbin. It will now only copy the one which it will be using. This speeds up booting a bit, which is always good :)

Updated the rickiller script to hopefully fix the remount issue on the Xperia ZR. :fingers-crossed:

PhilZ will now have a correctly sized button bar on the Xperia T, Xperia ZR and Xperia Z1 Compact.

Hopefully fixed the TWRP theme on the Xperia ZR. :fingers-crossed:

Remaining issues to be solved:

PhilZ mount USB feature isn't working correctly... it seems I've mixed up the USB product id's on the Z1 and Z Ultra releases;

Creating a backup of SD-EXT partitions is still not possible.

[MENTION=5300205]tuzmaster_v2[/MENTION], [MENTION=5212298]ralf_waldo[/MENTION], [MENTION=4150165]Lasantha[/MENTION], [MENTION=4828164]sijav[/MENTION], [MENTION=3340721]funiewski[/MENTION], [MENTION=1755691]nintendolinky[/MENTION], [MENTION=2191528]dooby-doo[/MENTION]

Please test this version and if possible take photo's and attach them here to let me see whatever problems you encounter on the theme's in PhilZ Touch and TWRP.

[MENTION=5300205]tuzmaster_v2[/MENTION]: this version will not wipe your storage anymore :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] tuzmaster_v2:
confirmed, my internal storage is safe and sound, thanks man, it's cool :victory::victory:
[Sony Cross-Device General] sijav:
Hi [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] ,

about your script you are put NDRUtills to /system/app? why?

why don't you just install it over the adb so we can remove it if we want?

Philz touch working as it should ... no problem so far.

TWRP is great it has been resized but ... we can use only the half of it :D not sure how to describe it, look at the attachment the black border is our screen the gray area is TWRP showing. :o

folder mount working as it should with my 4.2.2 Miui stock based.

EDIT: USB MassStorage problems at Philz touch ... it disables even the ADB ... however adb is working I can live with that :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Lol :D

That's a silly mistake.... Anyway, thanks for the complete test report :) :good:

I've put you in the contributors line dude, I used your resized button bar and will probably be using your usb config :) you deserve the spot :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] sijav:
Huge Thanks,

If USB is a ramdisk problem I can solve it and will tell you about it if not I'm afraid it might be the recovery itself problems ... then as I don't have recoveries sources ... I can't :(

Pressing thanks button is just not enough :D huge thanks my miui rom is working great so far no added bug :o (thought it might have some minor side effects but it doesn't)

waiting for the next release :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

as I'm very lazy to go to linux i thought of making changes in my phone in android ... I've spend 27 minutes to find out why I can't lzma back?:rolleyes: then I found this post on google :laugh::laugh::laugh:

is there anyway you can possibly use a busybox that can compress using lzma? I can live with that though ... and using another busybox beside it ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4828164]sijav[/MENTION]

Building a new version of TWRP now, with the correct orientation ;)

I forgot to reply to your question about NDR Utils, so I'll do that now:

NDR Utils is required if you want to use the Vanilla CWM version, as it does not have a button to use it. As it is a part of XZDualRecovery now it's logical to install it there as are all the other files :)

-- EDIT --

2.7.82 now online for you to test. This version should only fix the TWRP orientation, nothing else has changed (yet).

-- EDIT 2 --

I've been experimenting with that and so has [MENTION=5321428]AngelBob[/MENTION], but compressing an lzma archive on the ARM architecture is something you really don't want: it takes ages and is a very CPU intensive process, running your battery down real fast...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=3340721]funiewski[/MENTION], [MENTION=1755691]nintendolinky[/MENTION]

I figured I'd check if I made the same orientation mistake on your phone... well.. I did :angel:

2.7.82 now online also for you with a new TWRP, which should fit the screen perfectly.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sijav:
Thanks a lot :o will test it ;)

don't care as long as it free me from linux and let me stay on windows (as loading windows 7 will take a huge time!!). :)

EDIT: Yes TWRP is fully resized and functional ... but don't tell me you just swap height and width numbers in the ui.xml? :D :D :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Lol, no :)

I have a build environment which I simply mis-configured for the dogo :p

I'll see if I can still find the ARM lzma binary somewhere... after the initial tests we abandoned it and I have no idea if I kept the files somewhere.

Hey man, thanks soo much for your efforts. I see great improvement in this beta build with the help of very good developers here who volunteered to help build this recovery for Xperia ZR.

I'm lately occupied with studies so I don't have much time to test. I still haven't installed any recovery on my phone. Looking forward to your stable build for ZR.

Will shout out loud when I get time to enjoy testing stuff on ZR. Meanwhile wish you very best to continue the development.

Thank you.

Now i´m done, rooted with locked bootlopader on z1 compackt with your perfect dual recovery, as long i can see everything is working :good:

I have one question, the rootkit package(i don´t know if you are making them), the tricky thing with rooting process of compact is that you need to use ddms for allowing in su install of recovery, it´s really not that easy using screenshots, is it possible to make rootkit there you don´t need to allow things in su?

Great work [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]
