[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Hey NUT, apparently the .60 doesn't work for stock kernel 4.3. For the logs, well though I've gone through the logs, I believe this image should give you some idea as well, will try to upload logs tomorrow.

Well, I just re-went through the log below, it seems that locked BL gives partial root access only.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
If you are trying to install on a Z1 or a Z Ultra JB4.3, don't bother, I said it before: the windows installer does not work on the 290 rom...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you check the /system/bin/chargemon script and see if it has the XZDualRecovery header and my name on it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Tamirwig:
The Windows installer also didn't work for XZ 4.3 (569), I tried yesterday, results are the same as 8geek.

However, the flashable ZIP worked just fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] wooki:
In chargemon i can see your Author name etc. i think it's correct!
[Sony Cross-Device General] CountParadox:
Hey Hey!

Just tried this on stock 4.2.2 rooted and now im getting bootloops at first Sony logo :/

Any way I can pull my photos from it with adb or anything ?

If I can get them ill just reflash or anything to try again..

See CMD in image
[Sony Cross-Device General] GROGG88:
I have tried .43 and .60 installers on the officially released 10.4.B.0.569 for 1270-6188 and neither are working. I am not able to access any recoveries...

I'm happy to provide any info you'd like.

The boot animation has changed. There is now a second splash with "xperia" shown after "sony". All found recovery logs included.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Lasantha:
are you rooted?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sg1969:
Same here, I used the update on my z1 from. 57 to 60 and it failed, now I cannot access recovery anymore either by pressing the volume button (it doesn't vibrate at Sony logo and led doesn't light) or from advanced power menu reboot to recovery. Just boots straight into system.

I was on rooted. 257
[Sony Cross-Device General] GROGG88:
Yes, no problems there. I found that chargemon was not being written to /system/bin. I was able to place the chargemon from [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]'s 4.3 update package in there with proper permissions and accessed recovery. I then flashed the .60 update through recovery and all is well.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Sorry folks, I seem to have fubarred something in the 2.7.60 release, I won't be home until right after Christmas...

I'll fix them all ASAP.
[Sony Cross-Device General] GROGG88:
Don't worry about us. Enjoy Christmas and let this stuff wait.

Hi all

When using dualrecoveries from my z tablet(4.2.2) it gives my the option to backup/restore the trim area, but when I'm using on my z ultra (4.3) it doesn't.

Why? I'm missing something or is right that??
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
Versión of the recovery maybe?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Lef.teris:
I think I'm using the latest release for both devices
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
What I meant was that in my z1 zone versions have it, others don't, and .60 did not

does the program work on a 64bit machine? cos i keep getting errors as attached

any assistance will be helpful
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
What windows version is it? It could help if your traverse in to the files folder and right click choice64.exe and on it's properties -> advanced tab select windows 7 compatibility mode.

[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.62 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 2.7.62:

Revised some bits of code, which where causing bootloops. The code now takes the safest route again, eliminating the chance of a bootloop due to XZDualRecovery's configuration defaults.

Simplified the package count, now the installer is for both windows and Linux, the flashable zip is for updating and installing.

Updated the linux adb included in the installer. It seems it was working but not for everybody.

It took some time to find the cause, sorry for the issues caused by .60 folks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] airnike:
my machine was Windows 8 Enterprise 64bit ... i tried that as well but somewhat still not working ...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm... I'll request the versions DevShaft uses in his 9.9 version of BackupTA, which fixed that issue some of his users where experiencing.
[Sony Cross-Device General] airnike:
thanks~~:good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] `SBR`:
you can also add SGP351 as supported version

Xperia Tablet Z: SO-03E, SGP311, SGP312, SGP321, SGP351
[Sony Cross-Device General] sg1969:
If i flashed the .60 update and lost recovery, is it safe to just install 62 using windows? Or is there anything I need to do to clean up my recovery then install as new in order to avoid further problems?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
Do you have more than 1 android device connected to your pc?

Enviado desde mi C6903 mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
That actually depends: are you on JB4.3? If so, you will need to go the long way around (flashing 4.2.2 ROM, rooting, install XZDualRecovery and updating it to 4.3 again)...

There still is no way to break the lock from the kernel ramdisk for now...
[Sony Cross-Device General] brockyneo:
hi guys im trying to flash a new rom on the z1 but non of the recoverys read my externel sd ive tried reinserting any ideas
[Sony Cross-Device General] sg1969:
No, I'm still on 4.2, firmware 257 fully rooted with locked bl
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
You are using 2.7.62 right?

Not even TWRP is able to mount the external sd? :eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] brockyneo:
yes using latest version and no not mounting nohing
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Oh boy :silly:
[Sony Cross-Device General] brockyneo:
just reinstalled and managed to get it in twrp but flashed rom and hit bootloop not sure if its recovery related
[Sony Cross-Device General] gripfly:
Hi mates

I have only 1 question:

What exactly does a backup in CWM/TWRP includes?

I only know that it not includes the TA.

thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Remove XZDR.prop from the XZDualRecovery folder and try again... .60 made a mess of the property file...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The twrp in XZDualRecovery does know how to backup the TA but it will never be a default action to do so.

They both backup boot, system, cache and userdata.
[Sony Cross-Device General] gripfly:
I didn't knew this about TWRP, thanks.

Are there some problems with restoring or only because, if the included TA Backup can be damaged, we will brick the Phone?

Or how should I imagine that?

A bit stupid question maybe: the meaning of "boot" is: all what is needed for booting the device?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
On our Xperia phones we have a boot partition, which is basically the kernel and it's ramdisk. These will be bootstrapped by the bootloader.

When creating and restoring the TA, ALWAYS CHECK md5 creation AND checking, if you fail to do so a hardbrick is a possibility...
[Sony Cross-Device General] RHBH:
You can backup System, Cache and Data partition, also with this version TWRP you can backup your TA.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
+ boot.img (kernel) ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
can this recovery be used for z ultra 290?

if not, can i install it under 257? what if i install it under 257 and then OTA to 290? will the recovery be wiped or keeped?

Thanks for your contribution man.
[Sony Cross-Device General] shaggydiamond:
Which one do I have to download for xperia Z?

I've tried several and the recoveries do boot but they won't let me install xperia Z roms..

It gives an error
[Sony Cross-Device General] Chocklety Boyee:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] Can I yse this in xperia ion locked bootloader.. If not plz make compatible for us also..
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Can you check if a file called sa77_recovery or chargemon are located inside /system/bin ?

If so, there is a chance I can make this work on your device too.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
The XZ package of course :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] Kocane:
So.. Suddenly my rooted Xperia Z lost all recoveries. It used to work with the Existenz rom I use (4.3) where I had both twrp when pressing the volume buttons at boot, and I could boot into this touch cwm recovery thru the power menu in Existenz. Suddenly they all stopped working.

Now im trying to get this going but when it says that the phone should ask SuperSU permission, nothing happens. Nothing in the log either. So it cannot copy the files properly. USB debugging is obviously on..

What's happening?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Reset the supersu app settings or check the permissions log in it to see why it failed to gain root.
[Sony Cross-Device General] eldonly:
can any body help me with my question?

i know NUT said it can not be used for Xl39h, but it was days ago, and i can find packages for ZU in NUT's site.

i am not clear if ZU can use it, some body please help me out?

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Kocane:
Reset app settings how? Nothing pops up in the permissions log at all. It's like the request for SU doesnt reach the phone at all.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Could you try to install it again but this time copy and paste the entire command window output here?

Maybe you are missing something I will spot or its something I fubarred while merging the installer packages...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Kocane:
Maybe it's my rooting that is f'd up. I mean, my recoveries shouldn't just disappear out of no where, first of all.

http://i.imgur.com/Nl9kRFV.png

Is this what you mean? The device reboots but cant go into any recovery mode but I heard the Windows "Hardware connected/disconnected" sounds several times during boot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Hmm, you have no busybox inside the xbin folder... Are you on JB4.3 on a Z1 or ZU? If so, the installer won't work...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Kocane:
I had BusyBox previously. Then I read on another recovery I tried to install that it would include a working version so I had to uninstall busybox and it's installer from my phone - so I did. It didn't work before I removed it.

I'm on 4.3 with a Z

Do I need a certain busybox version that I can install? Sorry if this is written somewhere and I'm somehow missing it because I'm an idiot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
XZDualRecovery installs one which needs to remain active...

But because your root seems to be broken it isn't installing correctly.

Can you try to 'reinstall' SuperSU? There is an option in the app for that, use the migration tool if it's missing.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Kocane:
Somehow I got it working. It must've been my phone all along, for sure.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sg1969:
installed beta .63 and all seems to be working fine so far. Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.65 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 2.7.65:

Updated the stock ramdisk feature. To aid in the development of a working 'stock ramdisk' and to have an easy choice at boot whether to boot it or not dr.insecure.ramdisk now takes the option 'power' which will make XZDualRecovery prompt a second time with an yellow/amber LED. Pressing the POWER button once or twice while it is lit will select the insecure ramdisk to boot. If no power button press has been recorded, it will simply continue to boot the kernel ramdisk.

All work to get the insecure ramdisk to boot will now have to be done from the insecure ramdisk. Other then unpacking the ramdisk and starting it's init, XZDualRecovery will do nothing to prepare the device to run the insecure ramdisk.

Updated the installrecovery.sh script which will run when installing with the installer. Thanks go to [MENTION=2376888]itzankov[/MENTION] for pointing me to a solution to his 'Toolbox!' errors by PM.

Improved small tidbits here and there, specifically how XZDualRecovery updates or creates the XZDR.prop file.

Enjoy :)

little bug in charger

Hi!

I'm using 2.7.60 on my Xperia Z 4.3 [LB]. There is a small bug in charger. When my phone is fully charged in off mode, the thunderbolt icon on battery still exists. Also in power on mode this icon appear. Everything else is working fine.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I've never changed anything about the stock chargemon binary other then to rename it, if 4.3 does that, 4.3 is to blame...
[Sony Cross-Device General] msc3:
You're probably right, I have rom with preinstalled recovery. I will post this bug on general 4.3 thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[XZDualRecovery] 2.7.66 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 2.7.66:

Simplified the XZDR.prop settings. These changes breaks compatibility with the app from [MENTION=5321428]AngelBob[/MENTION], he is working on a new version to support them.

Updated the RIC killer, it should now prevent Z1 and ZU JB4.3 ROM's from setting up the kernel based system and rootfs protection :victory: Thanks go to [MENTION=2807379]Androxyde[/MENTION] for testing something we both (separately) considered a possibility to fix the issue, he confirmed it was on his Z1!

Unless problems are found, this should be it for the 2.7 branch: This is the final BETA, to be considered a Release Candidate.

Small. Query... Can this be flashed on a Xperia. ZL (6502)? Thanks....

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Sony Cross-Device General] shoey63:
Its in the currently supported Xperia models from OP so why not try it?

Edit: flashable zip or installer are right there on the download site ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
The RIC killer is only for unlocked bootloader, right?

Enviado desde mi C6903 mediante Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] AngelBob:
No, it's for locked
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Yeah, better install v1.0 or 1.1 for now. Link to the downloads in the OP.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kaefert:
I've followed the guide for loocked bootloaders and ended up in an extremly short bootloop (only the sony logo, and phone vibrates once about every 0.8 seconds)

Am I the first one this is happeneing to? I didn't find anything when searching this thread for "bootloop"

Now I've managed after playing around to get into fastboot with connected pc, but I'm not sure what to do next. is there somewhere the orignal sony kernel that I could try flashing? I don't think it will allow me to flash a custom kernel, they all say you need unlocked bootloader for a reason... please help, I want to unbrick my phone
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
[MENTION=691660]kaefert[/MENTION]

Just rebooting seems to help you get it kinda working... I honestly do not know why that bootloop occurs on install...

I'm redoing almost everything for the next version, its taking longer then expected though, better install v1.0 until I release the next version.

Look at my signature too for guides on disaster recovery options you have. Press vol-up+power for some seconds to reboot your phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kaefert:
hehe, you'd figure that this disaster recovery link is big enough that people would get the idea to follow it themselfs if needed ;) sorry mate, gonna follow that guide now. Thanks for the quick response, and thanks for developing for the Z :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] FSN:
exactely the same happened for me, rebooted phone multiple times, everytime the same error with the continuous vibrating.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DickyOhYK:
Hi do anymore have chargemon stock rom for Sony xperia Z?? Can send me a link to download??
[Sony Cross-Device General] bazz007:
stuck on boot

Hi, i installed you script everything finished fine but on reboot its stuck on the sony logo with purple led and vibrating? whats happened
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Download the installer zip, chargemon.stock is inside the files folder, rename to chargemon, correct permissions to 755 and it should work again. chargemon.stock gets installed by this package as well

inside /system/bin

See link in signature, restore /system only and you won't lose any data.

See my previous comment.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bazz007:
sorted

I fixed it using SUS didn't see your post till after so lost everything but at least phone is not dead :) don't think ill be trying again
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Just to be on the safe side:

Removed release 1.7 until version 2.0 becomes available.

Please only try Release 1.0 if you want dual recovery.

Next version will be thoroughly tested before I release it...
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
I've figured out why the installer version most likely causes the bootloop!

For ANYONE still in possession of the 1.7 installer, you can still use it but you need to open the installer.bat with notepad and remove the line with

adb shell "su -c /system/bin/reboot"

It is executing this command before run.sh finishes it's work, effectively causing incomplete scripts to be placed in /system/bin. Because of this the bootproces goes into a bootloop as the chargemon process ends without a positive exit code, and init fires it again to make sure it gets the time to start properly... That's causing the vibration every some seconds to refire.

Safest option is not to use it at all if you feel uncomfortable editting scripts.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Version 2.0 BETA - trial version

Running stock kernel during construction, for as far as i can see: all issues have been resolved.

CWM and TWRP work ok for me, the installer reboot issues have been resolved with an adb wait-for-device and then cleaning up :)

You can download 2.0 on http://www.fun-industries.nl/xda/ and test it out :)

A detailed changelog will come when it gets released for real.

Tell me what your experience is when you download and install it now.

Will this work on unlocked bootloader and running cm10.1 ?

I really miss TWRP. :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
To be honest, i don't know, I doubt it will...

[MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] should be able to answer that question I guess? He made a cm10 kernel with a twrp recovery...
[Sony Cross-Device General] krabappel2548:
I'll update cm10.1 kernel with TWRP :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] alexocean:
Hi, have tried the new 2.0 version of the lockeddualrecovery and it does the same thing as the 1.7.

Im running into bootloop (purple led with vibrations every 4-5 seconds).Have tried to reflash stock kernel NL with only root (no recovery) to try a fresh install of the dual recovery and the same thing (purple led with vibrations).

Im doing it with the installer.bat
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:eek:

I'm actually flabbergasted by this ... that's driving me bonkers, it works just fine for me :crying:

Follow the disaster guide in my signature, restore system _only_ using flashtool and an FTF. You'll get your phone back to working order without losing data or apps.

Once you get it back in working order, please try to send me the logs from either cache or the directory on your external sdcard if you can...
[Sony Cross-Device General] alexocean:
Ummm, have installed ftf complete, then i have installed 2.0 installer for dual recovery (purple led stucks on sony logo with vibrations).Then i have flashed only system and rerooted the phone to access the cache folder.The cache folder contains one folder named "recovery" but it has no files and on the external sd card there is only the clockworkmod folder with an 0 bytes file.

Can you tell me if the logs that you need are on another folder or do i make something wrong?

Have tried to install the 2.0 version with the zip file too (on cwm 6.0.2.8. for locked bootloaders).It gives no errors but when i reboot my phone there is no recovery installed and my cwm 6.0.2.8 does not work until i install it again (there is no green led when on sony logo, only a half second green/red led).
[Sony Cross-Device General] krabappel2548:
I'll take a look today :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Thanks :)

I've asked [MENTION=4340984]krabappel2548[/MENTION] to do a code review, I am missing whatever is causing this behavior. I'm hoping a fresh look at things can help solve this mystery...

Need device specific information!

Can people running in to problems please report what firmware version you are running?

Mine is .434 NL Generic. Maybe the problems are caused by a difference there...

To be honest, I'm clutching at straws there, I really have no idea why my dual recovery scripts fail on some phones and works just fine on others (like mine)...
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
I don't want to say that you broke my phone again, so... , let's just say that I broke it again flashing your recoveries :p

I am on romaur.

I was never able to flash/boot your 4.3, so I went with that one. I failed many times getting your recoveries back then (.57 to .60) to work with it (I always ended semi rooted and with no recovery).

I had to go with the recovery linked in the rom's thread ( http://d-h.st/4SM)

I now made a nandroid, and flashed your New recovery (if I ended up with no recovery, I could just go back to an older rom, root/recovery it and nandroid back.

Since I rebooted and got into recovery, I made a new nandroid (including TA, the old recovery did not get that), and got rid of the old one.

Now when I reboot the phone shows the green led, then yellow, then stays at the Sony logo vibrating and showing the green led briefly.

I tried deleting the xzdualrecovery folder and also flashing the old recovery. (reverse order tho)

With the old one, it vibrates differently, shows no yellow led before the vibration Craziness, and I think of can get to recovery without powering down and waiting for the first green led, but that's it.

I am back on the new one and charging with a dock connector cable, will wait for ideas :p (I could get you logs maybe, using the external SD, file Explorer and a card reader for my nexus 7)

Nexus 7 - Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] cocchiararo:
I now tried deleting the folder and flashing the old recovery and still the same issue.

I can confirm that the old one keeps flashing the green led like it does the first time and I can enter recovery anytime, the new one does the green, yellow, super fast Green forever and I have to power it off

Nexus 7 - Tapatalk
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
:eek:

can you use any FTF you have to wipe cache and take out your SD card to put it in the card reader to be able to delete the XZDR.prop file?

What you are experiencing is a bootloop caused by the stock ramdisk, which is not supposed to fire at all unless your XZDR.prop file is still the old format...
