Dual Recovery not working on Z2

Hi NUT, I have rooted Z2 with .402 using easy root method. I tried installing the dual recovery from	Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.XXX-BETA.installer.zip from http://nut.xperia-files.com/, followed the instructions but im getting an error

system/bin/sh: /system/xbin/busybox: not found

What can i do ?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
You can safely ignore that error :good:

Hi,

I have taken nandroid backup using TWRP Recovery.

I have installed paranoid android after unlocking the bootloader.

So i have CWM now.

But now i want to go back to my Backup which i took earlier. But the CWM is not recognizing my backup.

Now i want to install the TWRP recovery back. Please Help.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
If you wish to go back to stock, flash the xzdrkernel for your device if available and use twrp to restore the backup. Otherwise flash a full ftf, including wipes, and install xzdualrecovery again.

But I'm repeating this answer... already given on the DevDB thread.

Open up a topic in the questions and answers section of the Z1 forums. What you want to do is easy enough. It is also outside the scope of this and the DevDB topics...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] FahmyAbou:
So i flashed the latest xzdualrecovery and everything went without any problem but when I turned the phone on i didn't have any cellular signal. I took the sim card out and put it in again and nothing changed, there is no signal, any idea how i can solve this?

Su loses permission?

Hello guys,

I am running into a bit of a problem here and I am not sure if I did something wrong or it's just the way things work.

I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, flashed and installed custom roms (ACIP/AOPK).

Thing is it shows that the device is rooted.

However when I go into the android terminal, I su into super user and try to modify(write,delete) the system "/" root it shows "permission error, read only FS"

I tried to remount the "/" as rw

adb.exe shell mount -r -o rw,remount /

but that does not work because I seem to be using the wrong switch.

Is this normal or do I have to do something else.

I am modifying the "/" file to install busybox which writes in "/system/bin/ : /system/xbin/"

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=4747656]br1an[/MENTION]

It's mount -o remount,rw /
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] br1an:
It is not working. I am still getting the error message as "read only file system"

I even tried remounting it from the android terminal with su access. no success..

Am I doing this root thing correct? does the "/" system never gets rw access?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
If you want to remount system, then do 'mount -o remount,rw /system' of course...

Come to think of it, if you do this using adb, it usually undoes this as soon as adb stops.

What are you trying to do exactly?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] br1an:
I am trying to modify the "/" partition by adding and removing files.

Further more I do not think that SU works. I did give some programs SU privileges but they fail to run properly.

i.e " GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" it just fails to run properly, and does not hide my default soft keys at all.

I am thinking either SU is broken or something... any ideas?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
A few things you can do is to install root checker from the app store and just to adb shell in to your device and run su by hand to see if you end up in a root shell. If you have busybox on it anywhere, use it to run the 'whoami' applet, if the command line doesn't give it away, that will definitely do.

Things you change on / do not remain gone though, it's the contents of the ramdisk which can not be changed as it is part of the kernel. You can only change stuff on system, cache and data (besides the obvious sdcard0 and 1 storage).
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Alex Tan Hao Nam:
you can use adb or terminal emulator on your phone
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] br1an:
The root checker says my device is rooted. I managed to install busy box after remounting as r/w.

One more thing I cant seem to get GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys in this AIKP ROM...android 4.4.4

I hate the soft keys and it uses the screen real estate. Any one knows if it works on 4.4.4?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Chocolatetrain:
Use stericsons busybox to fix it and disable ric.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
remember using any other busybox then the one included in XZDR can potentially kill recovery and destroy the ric protection killer included in XZDR. Make sure any of the replacing busybox versions you might install have LZMA support, stericsons' version does not include lzma support.

Lot's of Confusion over FTF

Hi,

I've got a C6902 running the latest .108(4.4.4) firmware

So my confusion is:

1. Do I have to flash a specific ftf version before running the XZDR installer?

2. After flashing a custom ROM(PA/PAC etc) I have to flash XZDR.zip to retain the recovery right? Am I missing something?

3. Will I loose all the data after installing this recovery?

I've rooted it using EasyRoot tool, backed up TA partition and the bootloader is locked.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
1: no.

2: custom rom's based on STOCK will be the only thing which is going to work for your mobile as you say your bootloader is locked. XZDR will only work on STOCK based custom roms.

3: no.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Use philz, try to restore it through advanced restore.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Redvelocity:
Thank you for your response, so if I want to flash a custom rom then I have to unlock my bootloader first and then install this recovery is it?

Then I don't have to flash the zip every time I flash a new rom?

Sent from my Xperia Z1
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
If you want to usr omni/pac/cm based roms, yes and no. Yes you will need to unlock your bootloader, no you won't be able to use xzdr, as it is meant for stock based roms.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RyTekk:
Are there any changelogs? Nearest next update of Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.128, I cant enter to Philz Recovery, my phone getted stuck if I press Vol+, it still can be boot if I do nothing. So I use Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.128 until now with 108 build, is it compatible?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Dude...

XZDR 2.7.154 is the final Release Candidate, use that instead.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fiasco:
I have installed XZDR 2.7.154.

I keep getting and error while trying to make a backup.

I get: Can't mount '/system'

How can I fix this?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Which recovery?

Pull the logs from /tmp when in recovery, adb shell in to see which ones are there and pull them all.

Which rom are you using?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Fiasco:
Please forgive me for wasting your time. I was unaware that it is not possible to mount /system from the original stock ROM that came on the device.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RyTekk:
Where can I find dr.enable.initd, dr.insecure.ramdisk?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Inside XZDR.prop in the XZDualRecovery folder.

/system/.XZDualRecovery? I flashed 128 but in that folder has only busybox.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
No, as you could have read in the OP and the 2 following posts, it's in either /cache or on your external sdcard.

The unrooted installation option is probably not working on that FW version as the exploit used is probably fixed. You will need to go back to 108, install dual recovery and create a pre-rooted package yourself:

Hi all,

apologies for the Q but I'm new to this smartphone world!

Does anyone have a complete idiots guide to unlocking an Orange SPV M600, then maybe updating the ROM to the JAMin? I've searched high and low and can't really find everything I think I need.

Any pointers to the resources (ROMS and the correct versions thereof and tools needed would help.

I've found various ROMS, and they seem to come with installshield install wrappers but a friend tells me he thinks the ROM images themselves may need to be editted in order to work with different vendor handsets? IS that correct? IF so how do I do it or where can I find a "fixed" ROM?

The readme file with a Prophet Asian ROM was self explanatory about the process, but I think only covered an upgrade on a Prophet handset. I'm worried about ending up with a costly plastic paperweight.. :shock:

Hello!

I am very new to XDA and looking for some direction. Please direct me to the right post if this has been already asked a million times but here it goes.

I have a verizon s4 with 4.3 and Mk2. I havent done anything with the phone yet except using custom launchers and icons. I want to install a pure kit kat on my device and dont care about warranty. I am very confused with all the different kernels, root procedures and looking for a step by step guide - call it unlocking, rooting and installing for dummies :)

Where should i start and is it even possible with my phone/carrier/baseband version.

Thanks in advance for your time and attention and have a good day!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Read this sticky thread in the General forum.

No kitkat currently for MK2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rs32:
Thanks a lot! any reason why there is none for Mk2. i did read the thread and was able to understand most of it. I guess i will hang around and wait till they release one.

Can you advise if my understanding is correct to have a stock kit kat cynaogen mod on my s4 verizon with mk2 ( when it is available)

1) unlock bootloader (with safe strap or loki)

2) root device - what tool to use?

3) flash a custom cyanogen mod

4) install gapps and other apps

Thanks again!

Dual recovery was working fine, now it stopped and I'm getting the red LED burn.

I was reading the OP again and it mentioned Busybox. If I installed a busy box pro apk I had, could that have broken the dual recovery? Should I just reinstall?

I didn't flash anything or reinstall ROMs prior to it breaking.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] [NUT]:
That depends on the version of XZDR you installed really... If you had the latest it should fix busybox by itself.

Check the logs inside the XZDualRecovery folder, it will probably tell you what's wrong.
