replace kingroot with supersu.
[Xperia Z General] iffiscb:
Super su me has a bug, unable to switch to supersu.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Then to be honest, that's not my problem then...

Either go back to a non-kingrootable version, root it and then update it to the version you have now.

More and more, Kingroot is starting to look like a device hijacking tool...

Please people, remember,

it sends your IMEI to some undisclosed IP in china and the latest version is hard to replace with supersu

...

Safest option is not to use kingroot at all. be safe, take the long route.

Hi, [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] I installed 2.8.21 unable to backup. Tried tried to mount system, cache but it's can't be ticked. Please help.thanks in advance.

C6602
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
That doesn't look good any way you look at it.

Please re-install the latest using the installer and give it another shot.

Also, please provide me with the logs from all the mentioned log locations (in the OP), images do me no good...
[Xperia Z General] teddymild:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] I'm a noob, I hope this is what you need https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3nxhbtpriw41td/recovery.log?dl=0
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Noob or not, if you look at the end of post #2 in this topic, you would have seen what I need.

But this did tell me you downloaded the XT package, instead of the XZ...

Please download and install the correct package.
[Xperia Z General] teddymild:
Yes, you're right I downloaded the xt one. Thanks for your help.
[Xperia Z General] ernieg92:
I'm glad there's a few people making that statement. I'm no expert, but the method by which it works scares me.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
You clearly didn't read the OP :p

Anyway, as long as you have root or are still on a ROM version which towelroot can root, this is the recovery package for you.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
looooooooooooooooooooong since fixed, if you would have checked the development thread, you would have known (changelog) :p
[Xperia Z General] Akinaro:
I have 2.8.15 from start when I rooted. Mostly because I use my backup from 4.3 so I dont need to flash new FTF everytime when I want to use this version. And when I want to back to 5.0.1 I just restore backup from 5.0.1

Because I have the same apps on both version, and most of files I have on SD card and cloud I have no problems with jumping from this version to this(its taking about 5min but who care... and Im doing it mostly because MHL cable dont work on Lollipop xD )

And installation?

extract, click install.bat, give access on phone for PC, accept root... reboot... done. Last time it took me less than minute.

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

Sorry for being a noob as I am a new Xperia Z C6603 owner. It's absolutely safe to install this recovery on rooted stock Lollipop 5.0.2?

Many thanks
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
To both of you: yes.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
You're the first to ask about that, so I guess he made a mistake?

Also, read my reply on kingroot again a few posts back...
[Xperia Z General] masteriori:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

Regrettably, I too rooted via the Kingroot method being a new owner and have since then removed all files associated with it and replaced with SuperSU.

The worst that can happen is bootloop, right? I can always re-flash stock firmware via flashtools?

Many thanks
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Yep. As long as you can enter recovery you will be able to make a backup of data and the contents of internal storage (through MTP).
[Xperia Z General] masteriori:
I have just installed XZDualRecovery without any issue. :good:

Now to try out some custom roms. Thank you very much, [NUT].
[Xperia Z General] masteriori:
I followed this method.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Busybox is included, it needs to be 'on' and you will not be able to update busybox after installing xzdualrecovery.
[Xperia Z General] masteriori:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I have re-flashed stock firmware after some issues with eXistenZ rom and was wondering which non-kingroot method you mentioned of? I want to root but obviously would prefer not to root via kingroot method after your warnings.

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Flash a kitkat which is rootable with EasyRoot, then prepare an update package with prfcreator, install xzdr, flash update package, done.
[Xperia Z General] masteriori:
Let me try it.
[Xperia Z General] Faelz:
im always getting this error when i try to flash CFW 5.0: Error executing updater binary in zip.

Im on 4.2.2 and installed latest version of dual recovery. Already updated superSu binaries.

[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Please provide the recovery logs after a try to flash it...

[Xperia Z General] Faelz:

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

If you mean your on 5.0.2 (rooted) & trying to install the 5.1.1 PRF , I had the same issue (something to do with space and did a WIPE). After the wipe I ended up with stock 5.1.1 & no XZDR.

Had to flash KK then .280 kernel to root and then install XZDR and am now seeing if I still have root after installing the PRF!:fingers-crossed:

Edit: Now rooted 5.1.1:highfive:

[Xperia Z General] ecksdeeay:
Beta of superSU 2.49 is for LP I keep seeing mentioned, 2.46 don't cut it some say... Is this your issue?
[Xperia Z General] markger14:

[Xperia Z General] zippy01:
I am having an issue with TWRP. I want to install Xposed but I really want to do a backup first but TWRP won't mount system. I am using the latest release version .21 and on Lollipop 5.1.1. In android I can mount system fine. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

The last versions worked just fine on 5.0.2

Also time daemon doesn't work and everytime I close CWM it complains that I do not have proper root. I click "No" and I have root fine.

Thank you
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Ooh wait, this bug is being fixed in 2.8.22, search the solution for the ZL and ZR in the devdb thread found by [MENTION=3927764]theduke7[/MENTION].
[Xperia Z General] Zeroothree:
Doesn't work for me. it's stuck at "Waiting for Device, connect USB cable now..." even tho my phone is connectected with usb debugging on. Any way to fix this ?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Reset usb debugging device permissions and make sure you have installed the adb drivers.

Then try to get adb shell to work, once it does the installer will work.
[Xperia Z General] Zeroothree:
Hi thanks for your reply. I installed the drivers and it works now :)
[Xperia Z General] LuSiD7:
Hi there, a big thanks for all your work with the recoveries.

As recommended by you, I tried to install it through TWRP (upgrading from previous version 2.8.10) with the flashable zip but the operation kept failing. I went and did it through Windows and everything got installed perfectly. Is there a problem with flashing it through the recovery?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Actually, the chance is that you ran in to a bug in that specific version... which is fixed in the mean time of course.
[Xperia Z General] LuSiD7:
Here is a screenshot in case you need further info.

On the header it says that TWRP is v.2.8.7.0 (latest version included in .21) since I installed it via Windows but I was receiving the same error even when trying to update from dual recovery version .10 to .21

Hope this helps to fix the bug

[Xperia Z General] linuno:
should i flash an unbranded firmware before doing this? tried on a branded firmware but it didn't work.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
The android version matters, more then if it's branded or not.

If you are on a lollipop rom, try the 2.8.22 BETA, that has lollipop support for unrooted roms, which might still work if the exploit isn't already patched.
[Xperia Z General] linuno:
i have the C6603 with latest firmware 10.7.A.0.222 (android 5.1.1), and i did try it with the 2.8.22 beta.

the installer finishes without errors, and gets stuck at the waiting for device after the reboot, bc my phone reboots but doesn't boot into recovery.

that's why i was wondering if the branding could be a problem, because the script finishes.

forgot to add: except for the branding i'm completely stock and unrooted
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Then why don't you copy the output here for me to see if it completed successfully?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Okay, first of all, unrooted installation WILL NOT WORK on Lollipop 5.1.1 ... and the option 3 menu line clearly states it is meant for 5.0 ...

Besides all that: you have an older 2.8.22, the RC version has been released today with a better hit-or-miss detection included. It would have aborted the installation or made perfectly clear it failed the installation.

The installation failed, miserably.
[Xperia Z General] linuno:
then i apologize and thank you for taking your time to help me. i thought that the supported devices list might be for the latest firmware.

[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
You can't install using kingroot. You need to replace kingroot with SuperSU for the installer to work properly.
[Xperia Z General] Xzborneo87:
Terima kasih mr.ecksdeeay

Saya sudah tukar kingroot kepada superSu mengunakan terminal emulator :

-download file dan unzip.

-copy 'mrw' to /sdcard.

-su

-sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

-open supersu dan update su binary

Did I do this right way Mr.Nut.?
[Xperia Z General] ecksdeeay:

I have changed kingroot to use terminal emulator supers:

You know you do it right when XZDR installs.

Loving your work :)

Hello [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

Loving Dual Recovery but have one minor quirk, if I want to drop into either recovery mode I have to remove my SD Card otherwise I just get a red led and phone boots as normal. There is a XZDualRecovery on the external card with a 'donotrun' and logs in. Am I missing something obvious about leaving an SD Card in while trying to boot recovery?
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Well, yes...

Remove the donotrun file and it will work again :cowboy:

new to SONY

I am very new to SONY (current device is xperia z C6603). Therefore i apologize for my nooby questions.

1. Does the latest v2.8.23 work for all android version 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.4 and 5.x or please tell the working .....?

2. for my device, relevant file is XZ or any other?

3. How to format all partitions in recovery?

thanks
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
1: it should.

2: nope, that's it.

3: you won't need to do that to all partitions. If you are running the device with locked bootloader, I strongly advise against formatting system as you won't be able to get back in to recovery after doing that and failing to flash a rom...
[Xperia Z General] QSR1:
Thanks very much for help. Please clarify my confusion

2. Then please tell which model/build of recovery for model C6603?

3. I used twrp on LG devices. It was hard recovery (do not erase with flashing roms and wiping/formatting system partition as well as other partitions). No experience in SONY. I want to do that because my device does not working properly. It reboots after few minutes. And if we are formatting through recovery, then how could we not been able to flash rom, as we are already in recovery.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
2: you misunderstood my answer, the XZ package is the one you want.

3: yes. If recovery would be stored on a partition and would be using its own kernel/boot image it will work like that LG. The thing is that sony devices don't have a recovery partition. That's why recovery is stored on system. I have had people formatting system and then performing a reboot because they where used to do that on other brand models.... It was a warning to prevent that from happening ;)

Read the introduction article on my website, it will teach you just about all you need to know about Sony devices.

If you are experiencing issues, doing a factory reset straight from the ROM's own features won't erase system but will provide you with a clean device to see if these reboots remain or are gone after that. If not, send it to sony for repair, make sure you tell them you tried a factory reset when you do. An alternative way is to use pc companion to flash/repair the device to see if that helps.

Make sure you create a backup of anything you want to keep on the device, including internal storage, because these processes wipe it ALL.
[Xperia Z General] QSR1:
Thanks very much for your help! Introduction article was really helpful.

I thought, it was possible to format all partitions as a person described in below link by using CWM. Please explain it if possible with TWRP or any other recovery.

Good 3D game with big potencial. Super idea. Good luck
[Android Apps and Games] Sabardeyn:
I've downloaded and installed the app, it is an interesting game idea. Seems nice enough for something I was goofing around with. I made it to level 4 in a few minutes.

Aiming the wand is a bit... too responsive and unresponsive at the same time. With your finger on the wand, it is easy to move it around slowly but when trying to quickly move, it seems to lag just a bit.

Besides movement, aiming was an issue for me. Perhaps I'm just ignorant of this aiming mechanism, but I couldn't figure out where/what I was aiming at with any confidence. Am I supposed to depend on the "arc of fire" or the "line of sight" along the ground? Perhaps a combo of the two? Hmm.. maybe change the "line of sight" line to a darker color? This way the user can use either/both depending on what they're comfortable with? Using a darker color for the line, de-emphasizes it as the primary aiming method (if that is what it is).

A wand isn't a gun, but perhaps something more like the sniper's red dot (which gets slightly brighter and larger) when a target is within range might work better? Well, some kind of tweak or improved aiming method might be needed.

I'm not sure if it's a standard Android OS usability feature, but I pressed the back button to get out of the game and nothing happened. I would suggest allowing the back button to return the user to the home screen which appears to be SOP. Also, there was a menu (three dots) at the far right which did nothing when pressed. I realize that this last one might be an incomplete feature.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] smaisonville:
Rooting should not affect the SDcard.

You may have rogue app writing corrupt data to it.

Have you try to reformat the SDcard? Or try a different brand. I have used Adata for several years. They have been reliable. I had some others that would eventually get corrupted.

If they are corrupted getting your money back.

Btw, you updated to stock 4.2.2 with sense 5 via ota or manual flashing? The latter often has problem due to incorrect flashing steps or bad source file (wrong/corrupted).

In this case install Philz recovery extract from zip recovery.img and put in your fastboot folder go in bootloader and use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img after this go in recovery and wipe dalvik and cashe but if factory reset didn't help I am not shure this will!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] urimast:
Hello all,

My LG O4X running the stock 4.1.2 version (20A-ESA-XXX).

I decided to perform a total wipe because it was unbearably slow and the the battery lasted no more than half a day.

I backed it with ROM manager and with Titanium Backup.

After the wipe I restored most of the applications and some of the system (Accounts, Call logs, SMS, WiFi, Bluetooth Pairing etc.).

All is working fine except that the stock Email client (Email 4.2.121) disappeared.

I restored it using Titanium Backup. It worked only after I wiped the Email data. I configured all my email accounts (Gmail, exchange).

All worked fine - I received emails on all accounts, calender updated my exchange appointments.

All was great until I rebooted the phone. After reboot Email client disappeared with exchange account.

I tried to do it again couple of times, but after each reboot it disappeared.

What can I do??????

Does anyone knows how to solve it?

Thanks for your help.

Uri.
