[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SSyar:
The dual recovery was working fine as i install the SuperSU from it,, but there is an app named NDR Util, i tried to go to the recovery option by selecting "Reboot to Recovery" and the device stuck at Sony logo,,, and now i am trying to go to the recovery manually by Vol - or Vol + button it is sill stuck at Sony logo. I even see the change in LED color from Green to Pink,., but still stuck at SONY.,.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
Hmph... Which recovery did you try to enter?

Do they all do it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SSyar:
yes both...,
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
Can anyone confirm this behavior?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] sharonliu:
I unlock my device Z1 Compact(14.3.A.0.757) and fastboot your Z1C-XZDRKernel2.7.127.

The dual recovery was working fine.

My Process:

1. Downloads Z1C-XZDRKernel2.7.127-BETA.flashable.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip

2. Put Z1C-XZDRKernel2.7.127-BETA.flashable.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip to external SD card.

3. Fastboot flash boot.img (From Z1C-XZDRKernel2.7.127-BETA.flashable.zip)

4. Reboot to TWRP

5. Flash Z1C-XZDRKernel2.7.127-BETA.flashable.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip

6. Reboot

ps:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] SSyar:

Try option 3, you might have root but you still have an unwritable system partition (half root). To prove my point, try to create a file on system.

Bro with the last update(129) i cant boot philz cwr stuck on sony logo but i can acces to TWRP i have tu flash a prev version to get philz. Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
Which rom version are you using? The current installer has issues with jb roms, hope to release a new version soon which will work.

For now, use the latest Easy Root tool to reroot your device and try option 1 again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] munch77:
Yep me too, flashed 4.4.4 dirty,TWRP but no philz, might try a fresh install? or previous version if i dont find any other problems, all else seems ok for now tho?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] jeweettoch:
Hey that worked, thanks! For some reason i can't boot PhilZ Touch, but TWRP works like a charm. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rajaasim1980:
Is external Sd card must to flash this dual recovery? I rooted with easy root and after that install locked dual recovery but it got stuck on sony logo and had to press vol up and power button to boot it again
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
No, external sdcard isn't mandatory. You can use twrp, philz is buggy, I hope to release a new version soon.

You can however try the 128 flashable to get philz to work OK, for some that is the solution...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rajaasim1980:
Yea you are right. TWRP work when use volume down button with power..i had NDR Utils installed in apps but neither phils nor CWM work and it got stuck on sony Logo..so i guess stick with TWRP at the moment. Sony is not root friendly..samsung phones are most easy to root/install recovery and ROMS. No fuss about lock/unlock boot loader; commands ...

BTW thanks for all your work and we aapreciate it as there is not much development for this phone
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] coolkoushik07:
Haha its only one time process.. Unlock bootloader and forget about it.. If ur concern is about warranty then dont compare it with samsung.. Sony phones are more root friendly.. People like me leaving samsung for this reason and u r saying samsung is more root friendly?? It sounds funny to me..

Sorry for being off topic.. By the way u can use 123 beta version of dual recovery.. That was working fine..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rajaasim1980:
Its one time process but pain in the ass..spent 4 hours downloading all these drivers/adb/fastboot BS and getting keys from sony unlocking bootloader website and window 8 dont even recognise the drivers when try to get in fastboot with stupid combination of power and volume up..then you have different ROMS and recovery for lock/unlock bootloader...Rooting would also be pain if there was no easy root method

In samsung it take 5 minute to root and install custom recovery..maximum two or three files and steps are all that you need..all phones have almost same button to go in download or recovery mode and no chance of briking the phone because you can get downliad mode and flash official firmware

I will try 123 and will see if its work..thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] coolkoushik07:
Any android phone can brick while flashing..and samsung phone will give u problem if flashing proceedure stopped in between (due to loadshedding or if somehow cable got disconnected) but in case of sony this is more safe.. And this is sony thread.. So please stop talking about samsung here.. None forced u to buy sony.. If u think samsung is better, u can get one for urself.. But the reality is sony is more developer friendly..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rajaasim1980:
Its your personal opinion which i dont agree with because i find samsung phones more easy to root and intall custom ROMS and Recoveries..its sony thread and that dont mean i should blindly praise sony that its more developer friendly when i dont find it friendly..go and comapre their development sections..secondly i never said that people forced me to buy sony..i bought sony for design/camera and water resistant feature in compact body..you did jump in discussion out of nowhere to defend sony as if you own it lol
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] coolkoushik07:
So why are u complaining about it?? Sony will not change its policy just for u.. They dont have only one customer... None cares about ur point.. Everybody cares about warranty and thats what i do.. And when none forced u to buy it, then dont compare with some other brand.. And what u r telling that also ur personal opinion.. Google it.. Which is more developer friendly OEM.. U are just prooving ur noobness with ur comments..

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

And dont blame sony just because u dont know how to operate it.. No phones work without driver... And to unlock bootloader it takes less than 10 minutes to dwnld driver and to get the code... If it took 4 hour to u then u simply dont know how to do it.. And dont blame sony for this..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Rajaasim1980:
Forget it and dont divert the topic. I did not even replied to you so dont know why you felt the need to poke your nose in something which was not meant for you..

Eveyone is noob before he get to know how things work and then they make comparision that which methods they found more easy and user friendly as samsung and sony have different methods of rooting and flashing. Dont expect everyone to agree with you. I see more development work for samsung rhan sony which prove that its developer friendly. You dont agree with it.i have no problem with it and let agree to disagree here
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] coolkoushik07:
This is not a place for ur private talking that u can say anything.. So u better mind ur nose.. If u wanna show ur noobish knowledge then do it somewhere else.. Who are u to tell me what to do and what to not??
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Iruwen:
Point is you're in the development forum and we know what we're doing, if you feel the urge to complain about the methodology of rooting then do this in general. And with the current root Exploit it's easy to root anyway.

Is it correct that i had to change XZ Dual recovery to stock recovery to get FOTA updates installed?

My BL is locked, i get update message (for 4.4.4) but it fails on verification with 0x13e error.

Thanks for your help! :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] coolkoushik07:
There is no stock recovery in z1 compact, dual recovery is in system partition.. U can accept OTA update but it may delete root and dual recovery and in that case, u have to root and install dual recovery again..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] czrtst:
Ok, so i had to remove XZ Dual recovery to get OTA update installed?

It fails everytime on verification and in the log file i can see the error 0x13e !

I have read somewhere thats because CWM recovery is installed.....but i´am not sure...

EDIT:

removed recovery - still no success to install OTA update

EDIT2:

made update with PCC - worked without wiping anything ! :D

Only rerooted and installed recovery again !

If I have to be using stock kernel for this recovery, can I flash this rom safely? So can I just flash that in TWRP and be well off on my way? I don't think that ROM has a kernel.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
Hoping someone can help with this because I kind of messed up. I installed RomAur last night and was unable to flash dualrecovery afterwards because it froze at TWRP for some reason. So I'm guessing recovery was lost becasue I was unable to get back in. No big deal I thought because I would just re-run the installer. So I installed the DoomLord kernel as reccommended by RomAur and I got it up and running. Unfortunately, when I tried the dualrecovery installer, it didn't take. I tried booting with vol up or down and I get nothing. No green LED either. Did I do something wrong?

On another note, the latest update(149) cannot be downloaded with Chrome. It detects them as malicious. The previous ones were fine so I'm not sure why Chrome doesn't like them

Edit: I did install the wrong kernel(I can't read). I reinstalled the correct kernel but still can't get dual recovery to work. It goes through the installer just fine but won't boot into recovery. I wonder if the Rom has something to do with it?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
LOL :D

I'll see if I can find out why ... but I guess it has to do with the unrooted installation option... it's using the TowelRoot library... My guess is that you won't be able to download http://towelroot.com/tr.apk either?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
Yup, blocked
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
Right ... for that there is no solution other then to disable the virus scanner and use a different browser ...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Xentar712:
Yeah, I just used IE. Figured out my other problem too. Apparently I wasn't root even though SuperSU was allowing root rights left and right. I rerooted and the installer worked fine.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
Heh, you could have used the unrooted option in the installer for that... would have saved you a step ;)

(BRICK TIP)

I have rooted my phone, flashed XZDrecovery succesfully, then CM11 XZDrecovery again and now my phone is bricked!

Why ? well I did not unlock the bootloader (oups..forgot it).

With all these super friendly one click root/flash recovery etc, one can get too comforable/careless and introduce new mistakes.

Now the phone just vibrates on power-button and nothing else, no leds, no logos, no boot...

but it seems one can unlock the bootloader after things seem bricked.

With the device powered down, hold Volume Up and connect the USB cable. The notification light should turn blue to indicate you are in fastboot mode. Did the unlock as per CM wiki

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_amami

and CM boots now.. well almost...

Apparently after unlocking the bootloader, the device deletes the /data/media (internal storage) partition but doesn't format it. CM11 doesn't format this partition as part of its installation or boot,

So stuck in CM boot logo now! Hence, enter recovery mode, and do a /data and /data/media format, and everything should work fine after reboot.

Just thought I should share

Regards,

Manolis

I can't seem to get TWRP running with this any more...

When I press down on boot I enter CWM.

When I choose TWRP in NDRUtils and boot into recovery I see CWM...

Why?

I have my backups in TWRP so I need to get this running again :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
Perhaps you have a custom kernel installed?

What color is the led when you make a choice at boot?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Schlengge:
Thanks for your quick answer ;)

But somehow the problem solved itself after reinstalling the recovery.

Maybe I messed it up somehow by experimenting and flashing some conflicting stuff...

new Firmware 14.4.A.0.118

Hi, there is new Firmware Released: 14.4.A.0.118

(explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54394108&postcount=239)

I Installed the last Dualrecovery: http://nut.xperia-files.com/?dlid=WjFDLWxvY2tlZGR1YWxyZWNvdmVyeTIuNy4xNTMtQkVUQS5pbnN0YWxsZXIuemlw via install.bat

you can download the rom here: https://cloud.rimkus.tk/public.php?service=files&t=80b78f271e81b93186ed4c342607f8f1

(created via Flashtool from the files downloaded by Sony PC Companion)

I got my phone working, but can anybody confirm issues with Exchange push service?

(I have an Exchange Server, and Synchronize my Emails/Events/Contacts Via Push Service).

My experience is:

- when I reboot, all my Contacts are gone, and it takes up a long time (about 5 minutes)

until my Contacts were loaded from the Server again

- when an Email arrives, I got very slow notification (about 15 minutes after arrival on the Server)

after opening the Message in the Email App, the Email widget seems broken:

--> when I tap on the Email Widget it tells me that the inbox folder were not found.

(forcing a resync several times or deleting and recreating the Exchange Account fixes the issues, until next reboot/email arrival)

does anybody know why? or know a better way to gain root access on a Stock Firmware/Kernel with unlocked Bootloader?

thanks in advance

Kind regards

I don't see why I should use dual recovery or I'm missing something?

My bootloader is locked, TA partition backed up and rooted.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:

If you only use one, you could remove the others, but seeing you have ample room to waste on system, why bother?

Would I be able to remove the other recoveries easily?

Recovery gone (After Busybox?)

Hi (and sincere if this is the wrong place)

I followed the instructions in the thread and got the dual boot working perfectly - however I now cannot boot into ANY recovery mode at all. I think it is because I installed busybox shortly after installing the recovery and from what i have ready here (and in other threads) this seems to be the most likely issue.

Is there a way of fixing this?

I have considered unrooting (and then rerooting) or going for a system reset but ultimately I don't want to screw my phone up more (since it is fine apart from the missing recovery) I would be really grateful if anyone could advise me..

Many thanks.....

password/pin-code protection for recovery

Due to I am using this XZDualRecovery (and I did not found a general thread about TWRP), I will write my question here

:)

I was wondering if there would be a possibility to implement a kind of password/pin-code protection in TWRP (or other recoveries).

If you boot into recovery, you will be asked for a password/pin-code first, before you can use the recovery.

:D

I think this would be a great feature. Because nobody will be able to boot into recovery and wipe all the data on my phone.

(And no, this is not just a story. It really happened to me)

:mad:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] F308:
You want bet?

I don't need any recovery to wipe your data.

Once I have phone in my hands I may wipe whatever I want, use file manager with root access or flash my ROM.

It is like protecting gate when door is opened.
