Hello, sorry im a newbie on xperia z..can anybody help me. I like to install cwm on my 5.1.1(.222) will this revovery work fine on me? Cause i want to install a stock based rom.. I have a lockbootloader.. Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
If you are unrooted, you will need to flash a 5.0.2 ROM first, then install XZDR, then update to 5.1.1 afterwards by a PRFCreator flashable package. Look in the Cross device section for the tool. Look for the ROM's FTF in the Z's general forum section for the ROM repository.

Hey everyone,

So I've got this issue with my Xperia Z (thread I made for it here - https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/stuck-weird-limbo-normal-ultra-stamina-t3546352).

And I am looking to make a backup and/or recovery for my phone before I do a factory reset. I really must not lose my apps and app data.

Is this "XZDualRecovery" operation what I need to do? After reading the XZDualRecovery Manual I can't quite get my head around the instructions, I am pretty n00by when it comes to androids :(
[Xperia Z General] St.Jimmy90:
This would be useless, restoring the backup will make everything the way it was before. Install this recovery and then wipe cache and dalvik cache (and only these) if it doesn't work, report back (maybe in your original thread).

[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
I have the distinct feeling you never flashed a kernel which was on par with the ROM you are trying to use ...

What ROM are you trying to install?

What android version does it have?

Does that match the android version of the ROM you previously had?

Did you update the kernel and baseband yet?
[Xperia Z General] jhonny1525:
i succesfully downloaded and insta'led ultimate pure xperia z with android 4.4 it was able to boot into system without sd card installed wwas not able to boot in to recovery(no purple led direct boot into system) so i decided to flash again i flashed everything succefully but when the bat file reboothe my phone into recovery it didnt boot showed black screen after sony logo i have locked bootloader so i cant flash any kernels with pre installed recoveries i am currently downloading tft firmware to flash plz share if you kno how to pack kernel into tft file so i can install stock kernel with locked bootloader and preinstalled recoveries
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
There is no way to integrate recovery in either the kernel or the system within a ftf, nor does your mobile run customised kernels when your bootloader is locked.

I'd say contact the rom chef of the pure rom and have him check if it will work together with xzdr.

On that firmware version, you need to be rooted first in order to install. If you aren't, How to root 10.5.1.A.0.283 / 10.5.1.A.0.292

I just downloaded it and it extracts just fine for me. Make sure any AV software etc isn't blocking/corrupting the download as the installer contains a root exploit that is sometimes classed as malicious by some AV software.

bootloop on XZ c6602 10.6.A.0.454, is there any solution?
[Xperia Z General] wrtease5865:
you could reflash the kernel only in flashtools dont select any wipe if you have data. otherwise just kernel .
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Perhaps using Xposed?
[Xperia Z General] GrizzlyJr:
No, not yet. I plan to install xposed :D

First, i install preroot flashable zip 10.6.A.0.454 with SuperSU + XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable.zip

Results:

SuperSU 2.46 = Working

XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable.zip = Not Working, Won't enter to recovery

then i reinstall XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15 via installer

Result:

after that i can't enter to recovery and bootloop.
[Xperia Z General] wrtease5865:
i have found you can get into recovery but bootloops and wont start into lp so i just reflashed and got back into lp .but no recovery working on this as tryed a lot of kernels .so no luck at recovery at mo ,otherwise its a working lp ans smooth.

If I get this straight - we are able to flash the recovery, and use the recovery, yes? But not boot because of bootloop?

I'm asking because all I really need is the recovery, so I can restore my nandroid of KK, so I don't care about bootloop if I just can restore my nandroid.

[Xperia Z General] deerhurst:
Then just roll back to an older version, root and install recovery then flash your nandroid. I had to do similar several times as I figured out what was causing boot loop on lollipop.
[Xperia Z General] LosserKlosser:
Yeah I thought about that - but I recovery is accessible and usable then is there any need to flash an older version and root etc?

Sendt fra min C6603 med Tapatalk
[Xperia Z General] deerhurst:
True but with a locked bootloader we do not have that option right now. It doesn't take long. Roll back to 4.2, root with towelroot and install busybox and nuts dual recovery, reboot to recovery and flash your nandroid.

It depends which software you're using. If lollipop - you have to downgrade your kernel to .292 or .283 (don't remember exactly), then root using „Simply root“ or „towelroot“, atfter that go to stock kernel and that's all. If you're on KK, there's many ways to root your phone

[Xperia Z General] adrianh_za:
When did the boot loop occur? You might be better of doing a clean flash of Lollipop 5.0.2 with Flashtool, root with KingRoot, replace KingRoot with SuperSU root, and then install the XZ Dual Recovery.

Here is the guide to root with KingRoot and then replace KingRoot with SuperSU.
[Xperia Z General] bzlmdfk:
I have root and replace kingroot. I install recovery them "reset to system" and i have bootloop.
[Xperia Z General] theduke7:
why do people want to install 2.8.16...it's an older version (the 1st 1 that had a fix for XZ Lollipop ) and it had issues mounting system... latest version 2.8.20 is the latest and has all issues fixed...always check the original developer thread and download the latest one for your device.

[MENTION=3030108]bzlmdfk[/MENTION] install latest version, and 1st boot after installation boot to recovery not system, then boot to system, it will till you that it wants to fix your root, press no< and boot to system, in system update SuperSU... that's it
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Please remove that file from your hosting, I don't allow mirroring my files, as my signature clearly states.

If you don't use a properly installed SuperSU that might happen. Use XZDR 2.8.20 which is the only version which has all the issues solved and is even required to work problem free on the Z series lollipop release. 2.8.16 does NOT have the proper byeselinux module.

Simple solution: flash the XZDR Removaltool (in the toolbox folder), then make 100% sure that SuperSU has been correctly installed ( [MENTION=5121498]adrianh_za[/MENTION] posed a link to the guide) and use the 2.8.20 installer version to install it again.

If you use Xposed, make sure you have the filehandle-fixed version installed. Remove all possible modules if you don't, that will allow you to boot when you clear dalvik&cache, but that will work only ONCE.
[Xperia Z General] bzlmdfk:
Yeah I do it and have bootloop.

Ciul Dup Jeb z Xperi Zet
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Create a backup if you still can access recovery, then do a factory reset from TWRP.

If you have xposed installed or deodexed your rom, remove xposed and re-odex your rom.

[Xperia Z General] Deathschythe33:
Ok, scratch my first answer--- you said "i was wondering how to root and install the dual recovery.."--- which means your phone is NOT ROOTED.

Some important things to think about:

1. Why do you want a Dual Recovery system?

2. A more appropriate question is, why do you want to root your phone?

If your just starting off, it would be better not to do this now as the steps can potentially brick your phone. Learn the basic first like, what is root? what does root do? what do I gain with root privileges? If you THINK you need it--- you might be wrong. Think again. Are you OK in bricking the how many thousands of pesos smartphone you have? I don't mean to be rude to a fellow Filipino--- but you need to think at least 19,000 thousand peso more times before doing this my friend.

You have been warned.

Step #1 Root your phone

I honestly do not think it is appropriate to detail it here since this is Q&A for [NUT]'s XZDualRecovery, so please search the Sony Z General subforums for ways how you can root your phone.

There are no direct ways of gaining root once your phone is on LP 5.0.2, so you'll need to downgrade to KK .292. Once you have KK .292 on your phone, you'll need to install a .230 kernel only to root it. Once rooted, install a .292 kernel back on to your phone.

Follow Kingvortex's giude:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873

Step #2 Install a Recovery system

Once you have a fully rooted phone running KK, you'll need to install a Recovery system. You can go to [NUT]'s page, download the installer for 2.8.16

Step #3 Upgrade to Lollipop

Follow this:
