Can you adb shell in to your device?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] spikey001:
How can I install this on 5.1.1 that is unrooted but with unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Using the kernel builder for your rom.

Http://nut.xperia-files.com/?a=xzdr

Then extract the boot.img from the zip, in the tmp folder, fastboot flash it. Then reboot to recovery and flash the entire zip to install NDRUtils.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] spikey001:
Lovely, that's great thank you!!!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] papperlapapp:
I just found the Rashr Flash Tool in Play Store that allows to flash a recovery from within a running system. This way I finally was able to install a new recovery, PhilZ touch and my device does not hang any more. Moreover, PhilZ Touch was written to the FOTA partition and thus it will survive CM12.1 nightly updates :)

Is there a way to install your XZDR dual recovery to the FOTAkernel partition instead of boot partition?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] LSD DREAMER:
Yes just download the recover in rasher and install xzdr is the first option.

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lowtuneduser:
Noob question, I followed the instructions very carefully and after reboot, I can see NDR Utils and opened it with SuperSU permission then ticked TWRP as primary. But when I chose reboot to primary recovery, it doesn't enter recovery and will continue booting as normal instead. Any help on this?

I'm using Xperia Z1 C6903 running on 51.1 14.6.A.0.368

TIA.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Well, please try it once more and hand me the installer output....
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lowtuneduser:
Tried it again and still the same, it didn't reboot to recovery go straight to normal boot even if I use the NDR Util to reboot. It's just like I'm doing a normal reboot.

Here is the screenshot of install.bat and looks like done successfully.

Just to add.

After downloading and installing busybox, all I can see on NDR is 'unabler to read XZDR,prop.

I installed busybox cause it think it can resolve not booting to recovery.

Glad if someone can help.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lowtuneduser:
Okay, it just did worked with version .21 of dualrecovery and it seems xposed works well with it.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cadicuce:
Me too. Try install.bat one more times but i can't go recovery. :(
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lowtuneduser:
Try the ..21 version of the recovery. It did worked for me.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] cadicuce:
Yes, it *worked for me, too. Because i see Important notice that ver 2.8.21 has a small bug, so i didn't try it:)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] lowtuneduser:
I'm glad that it works for you as well ;)

I use version 2.8.23 on my z1. How can i fix this? I really have important data on that backup.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Make sure you have the sdcard formatted the same way you had before. It sounds to me you don't have the sd-ext partition on it...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
The card is formated as FAT32 i didn't format it till now . Should i format it and then try again? Don't got this error before so don't really know how to fix it . Thank you for the reply !
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Format it using TWRP and choose to create an sd-ext partition while doing that.

I'm sure your issue will be gone after doing that :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
Strange i get this when i try to partition it: E:UNABLE TO LOCATE SD-EXT PARTITION
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Err... that's not the message you where expecting there...

I wonder if you are doing something wrong or that you might be running into a bug in TWRP ...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
well first i want to advanced whipe and whiped the external sd card then advanced > partition sd card> ext size 512 / Swap size 32 > swipe to partition > and got that error . Is there another way to format it sir? If it matters the backup size is 3.8 GB and i use a sanDisk ultra.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
https://awanstuff.wordpress.com/201...ink2sd-in-any-android-phone-with-screenshots/

Took me 3 seconds to find that on Google Search ...

Backup size does matter but the size of the sd-ext backup file is more important to be honest.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] NexusGTS:
I did a format with MiniTool Partition but No luck , the recovery is not restoring everything frm the backup. I guess i have to clean install the rom again. Thank you for the support sir !

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] - Hi, I have been trying to install dualrexovery on my Z1 (c6903) on 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236) for quite sometime now, but every time it gets to this screen my phone screen goes black with the white icons at the top and bottom of the screen and it freezes. Needless to say the recovery doesn't get installed.

Do you know of any reason this could be happening? I have had it installed in the past, on this phone, but had to update to OFW for 4G.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

goth1k
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Unrooted install does NOT work on 5.1... :mad:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] goth1k:
Thanks for clearing that up, much appreciated. Do you know of a reliable rooting guide for 5.1.1, as I tried one but the links were dead.

Cheers again

goth1k
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes:

Use flashtool to flash back 5.0;

Install XZDR;

Create an upgrade package using PRFCreator (search on XDA);

Flash upgrade package;

Party.

I've used xzdualrecovery when I rooted my device (C6916) and don't remember having an issue but I tried to get into recovery yesterday and it didn't work.

I still have root and was able to use the install.bat to update to 2.8.23 on my device successfully but I haven't been able to get into recovery... every time I boot and press either up or down on volume button (after vibrate and green light flash) the device just boots normally. even "adb reboot recovery" and "adb reboot-bootloader" just make the device boot normally

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Delete the xzdr.prop and reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jdmst77:
Thanks for your help...

It took me a minute to figure out that it's located on the external SD card. I found it and deleted but I still wasn't able to get into recovery. Pressed down the first time and the prop file was created and referenced twrp but only booted normally. Tried again but pressed up and the prop was updated with philz but only booted normally.

I'm not sure what's preventing recovery from opening...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
If you try rebooting in to recovery by using NDRUtils, does that work? If so, you probably are pressing the volume rockers at the wrong time...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jdmst77:
I forgot mention that I tried NDR Utils before installing the new version of your dualrecovery and it had the same result. Just tried again and no luck. Device just booted normally. Red led for 2 seconds so I assume that a log was written but can't figure out where...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Red led signals an issue or the existence of a donotrun file in the xzdualrecovery folder on either cache or sdcard1. It's also where the logs can be found.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jdmst77:
for some reason, and I don't know why, but the log and backup files on my SD Card, in the XZ directory can't be written to or opened... possibly corrupted??? I ended up removing the SD card and booted into TWRP at the LED. Xposed is now flashed and I'm happy but not sure what happened to the files in the XZ directory...

Thanks for the pointers!

Hello

I have marshmallow crdroid based on cm12 on my z1. Can i install this recovery on my phone?

The cyanogen recovery that came with the rom wont do much.

Thanks

Daniel
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Correct... :eek:

Eh... Android marshmallow and CM12 are not the same thing... don't you mean CM12 with a Marshmallow theme?

If you really DO have CM12, you can use the kernel builder to repack your kernel, or download a version which is already repacked.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gurkan_:
Thanks for the answer

Sorry for the bad description before.

I have [ROM] [Marshmallow][6.0.1][Official] crDroid Android [AOSP-Kernel 3.10]

a Marshmallow build based on CM. And i have unlocked boot loader and rooted with SuperSU

Will this recovery work for me? Cyanogen recovery doesn´t come with much
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Right, that makes a lot more sense ;)

There are still some issues with true MarshMallow kernels... I do not know if the locked bootloader version would work or not... that is unsupported and might require unusual installation and usage instructions to make it work.

Just be patient, I will fix the kernel builder in the coming weeks.

Do you have a link to this ROM's thread by the way? I have my Z1 waiting for that day anyway, I could try to flash the ROM first and see how it works, then start working on the fix on a fully functioning kernel version :)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] gurkan_:
Here is the link

How to install on c6906 with mac os x el capitan?

Hi, i allready have my phone rooted and the bootloader is unlocked; i downloaded sdk manager with the platform tools for android 5.1.1.

I downloaded the dualrecovery zip and tried opening the instal.sh with terminal but when i start the instalation i get many messages saying that it doesn't find the directory.

Please help me, i'm not experienced with Mac at all.:confused:

Thank you
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
You need to unpack everything in the ZIP and then use the Terminal to go to it to start install.sh, it will work fine then.

Depends on the cm version. Up to CM12.1, check the kernel builder on my website. For cm13 it still needs a fix.

Hi folks, hope everyone is well. I've managed to downgrade the z1 I have back to Jelly Bean .534 using Flashtool, however the new version of this bootloader software wont work! It runs the script but fails to install. Not sure what to do about this. I've tried 2 versions of this program but no joy with either. The latest version of this program asks if i want to run on an unrooted lollipop device, which mine now isn't...

Any help at all?

Thanks,

Andy
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Why go down that much?

Unrooted kitkat: 2.8.21

Unrooted lollipop 5.0.2: 2.8.25

Jelly Bean is really way too far back...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] andy99999:
The only tutorials I can find are back from 2014, with this dualrecovery still in beta. I managed to root it using iRoot, but the rom I had failed to install using this bootloader. I flashed back to 534. Will try another rom!

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

By the way thanks for replying.

If I list the order I have done things in, then:

1) OTA Sony z1 Lollipop rom (default phone, no modding, unrooted,no bootloader etc)

2) Installed the latest flashtool program, (win7 64)

3) Installed all of the drivers in the flashtool folder

4) Downloaded the 534 stock ftf rom (version 14.1.G.1.534 [NUT]) as I read on here that a downgrade is needed prior to rooting.

5) Flashed the ftf file with flashtools 64, using flashmode.

6) Booted the phone into rom 14.1.G.1.534 (Jelly Bean)

7) Ran the latest iRoot program (Chinese) and rooted the phone (Or so it says)

8) Installed SuperSU from the market, however it fails to install and update the SU binary. (Possibly because the kernal/rom is out of date?)

9) Run this program, Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.25-RELEASE.combined, and select option 1, " Run using a rooted phone using SuperSU", (only option that seems to work)

10) This completes, and boots the phone into the teamwin recovery mode.

Where I am now, is that I am on this stock rom of Jelly Bean, and I can enter the recovery mode by pressing down at startup, waiting for the LED to turn green, and then pressing down again, with the LED turning purple and the phone subsequently loading into the recovery mode. I can fiddle around with the settings, so I assume I have now added this recovery mode to the phone successfully.

I have tried to install a couple of roms however they fail. If I check the verify zip contents option before flashing, the errors that occur say that it can't handle SU contexts, (or something similar!)

I decided to download a new kernal .img (adv 4) and I flashed the phone with that. I tried to run the .zip files again however no avail. The phone then does not boot, and vibrates once as you press power. No logo or anything. It looks it bricked the phone?

I can always flash it with the old 534 rom, but then i'm back to square one again. Should I flash this back to 534, update the phone with the OTA update that Sony/Vodafone push out, back to lollipop? I couldn't get Flashtool etc to work with that version however.

Not so clued up on this but there are a few ROM's here, people somewhere are managing this!

Any advice at all?

Regards,

Andy

Please do a sha1 checksum test on the package you downloaded. It might also be your anti-virus product causing this, because of the rootkits in the installer it might be (partially) cleaned by those tools...

In any case, it's working fine for most people, so I don't know why it fails for you... It has to be something at your end...

Something went wrong in step3

Hello,

I'm not really sure what went wrong here. To be quite honest I not even sure what is the extent of the problem. Apparently DualRecovery was installed (after rebooting I do see the NDR Utils), but some something went wrong on step 3. It seems that the script was not able to write in the external storage - sdcard1 (=> 'mkdir: can't create directory '/storage/sdcard1/XZDualRecovery': Read-only file system').

I would appreciate if someone could advise me here.

I attached to this message.

Thank you,

Hi mate...

Same thing happend to me...right now...

I want to update recovery to latest (92 or 94 can't remember which one is it)

I flashed it throug recovery and.....no vibration....just kernel loop...

Maybe I had to delete XZdual file from recovery folder?!

I just wanted to update recovery to have working offline charging...but I guess I'll update whole ROM now :) hehe...

Edit...

O.K I'm up again...

Something went wrong after flashing 94 version...

I think I should delete XZDR.prop file and then flash but I really don't won't to flash ROM again from scratch ;)
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] jacktackle:
what will happen if I try this recovery on rooted LG G-flex?

what will be the worst scenerio?

can any one explain me please?

the resolution is different of the devices. of course the boot is different but will it take me to the rocovery and than give me the bootloop?

or the recovery won't flash at all?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] RHBH:
The worst scenario I think it will be a bootloop. Does LG phones have a dedicated recovery partition?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=1525325]jacktackle[/MENTION] never device crossflash/-install between brands.

There is a slim chance it might work but the real problem is that it might just as well cause a hardbrick.

Installing a Sammy recovery on sony devices is a 100% sure fire way to brick your device beyond any chance of repair.

My advice: don't.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
[MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]

Mate, any idea why we can't flash latest flashable for LB Z1 - I don't have log but maybe you know...

Maybe to try to delete XZDR.prop first or install via PC?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Not sure, I've tested that release myself using the flashable package and it worked fine on my Z1... dunno what's causing it to fail for you :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Hmm...I'm not sure...

I was reading one post above mine (that man also bump into same problem) and thought, as my offline charging won't work, new recovery could help (Niaboc suggest to change recovery/chargemon file).

I downloaded latest (it's 94, right?) flash and..... It stuck on kernel logo...

One question...

I wiped all and flash ROM again (I hate that awfully long process but O.K).

I installed your latest recovery through windows installer.

So, how could I check which version I have now?

Does flashing stripped ftf flash recovery as well...?

If yes, then I'm again on older recovery, because ftf is quite old...

And yeah...could I repace chargemon file from bin folder manually?

Obviously iHackers ROM have some issues with offline charging so if I take only that from your newest recovery could that work?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
Wait... that ROM ... does it have a built in recovery? If so ... run the ROMAUR fix before updating (on my downloads page)... I suspect the ROM not to have a chargemon.stock file but still using a replacement chargemon to run it's recovery... Which would also explain why offline charging is not working...
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
Well that's iHackers ROM (that I'm using)

I checkes zip file and in system/bin there is chargemon file...

Files for iHackers system/bin

https://app.box.com/s/p07smhvkgf82sskgq6n7
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] [NUT]:
*sigh*

Run the romaur fix before updating/installing the latest XZDR. It seems I'll have to rename that now, lol :eek::silly::angel:
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] funky0308:
:)

So, that's something new they added in ROMs or something new you added in recovery, because I flashed many yours recoveries on old ROM (2.1 iHackers) without any problems...

O.K mate, tnx - I'll try...

BTW, what's that fix and is it your or monx?
