OK I finally did my install, my computer never downloaded the drivers from my xperia so I went directly to sony website and downloaded the drivers directly from the, I then went to devise manager and updated the drivers and it worked, so I now have a custom recovery and I'm happy! Thanks everyone for all the help I really appreciate it!

Is there a way to install Busybox (from the PlayStore) without losing the ability to boot into the Recovery?

I need Busybox in order to run ViPER4Android.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Miloa32:
Mmmmmmm, I have busybox and I just installed my recoveries and I have no problem booting into recovery...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] fikaa:
Do you also use the one from the creator Stephen (Stericson) and did you install it after you installed the recovery or before?

When I install Busybox the Viper Mod works but the Recovery doesn't and when I reinstall the recovery everything works except Viper :/

I have read that this is due to that this version from the PlayStore doesn't support the lzcat command.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Miloa32:
I'm using the one from the PlayStore, and I installed it before the Recovery...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] fikaa:
As far as I understand the version from the PlayStore has then been overwritten by the one included when you install the Recovery.

The only problem I have is that the Audio Mod doesn't work with this included version, only with the one from the PlayStore.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Miloa32:
I'm guessing you're right but then why I can use my recovery and you can't?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] fikaa:
I think because you have installed the Recovery after you have installed Busybox, so that you actually aren't using the binary from the PlayStore App.

I assume that if you now click on "install" in the App that it would break the Recovery, at least thats what happens to me.

Sorry to the OP if I'm going kinda Off-Topic with my posts :angel:

After downgrade to .28, with root & installed recovery, you can flash a pre-rooted .547 firmware.

Problem in accessing and transfering backup files from internal SD to PC, help please.

Z3 D6603, properly rooted (checked with few progs), LP 5.1.1, all drivers installed, PC recognise and connect to Z3.

Progs like Link2SD, Rootexplorer etc. works ok.

Dual recovery accessible. Backup with TWRP is accessible but backups from CWM or PhilzTouch are not accessible from PC (Win 7 Ultimate). Can you help me to resolve this?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] [NUT]:
How do you mean 'not accessible'?

Can you create some pictures from the warnings or errors that you get while trying to copy the contents?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zlamar:
I mean I can see CWM backup in device/data/media/clockwork/backup folder in ES File Root explorer on device, but I can't see or access backup folder on internal sd card from my PC and transfer it to PC :(

Right now I am making CWM backup to external sd card, and it is working that for over 30 minutes, stacked at "Backing up data...."

EDIT: Finally made to external! Very slow but made it.

On exit from CWM I get this message: "Root access possible lost. Fix?"

EDIT 2;

I can not see or acces CWM backup files from my PC, neither on externall card. Is there possibility that something went wrong with permissions?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] [NUT]:
That is possible. It could also be because the file contains a character in the name windows does not support.

But try changing the permissions first using es file explorer and then as a last resort, rename them.

Are you trying to copy or move the files by the way?

IF

CWM sets the immutable bit, you would get an error while the file would be copied just fine...
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zlamar:
Strange... in ES explorer when I choose file from CWM backup, click on Properties, there is no option to acces Permissions?! :confused:

EDIT: Maybe I should go to CWM and answer "Yes" for "Root access possible lost. Fix?"

I am trying to copy backup files to my PC
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] [NUT]:
Never do that if root is working fine. That can only mean CWM is lagging behind on the check if it's rooted or not.

If you have WIFI and a network share on your PC, you might be able to use es file explorer to copy the file using the lan feature.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] zlamar:
I'll try that, thank you for your time

Edit:

:p Or I could try to not forget one basic thing like; pull out sd card from phone and try with usb sd card reader, instead usb connection between phone and PC... :p

Backing up and recovery on different OS firmware versions.

Hello,

I have a question on restoring system/data files (from a previous recovery made on a older ROM version) ON a newly flashed OS upgrade.

currently i am on Z3 stock rom, dual recovery and root activated. rom version 5.0.2 .726. xposed framework installed and some xposed modules activated.

Now i create a backup of system/data (5.0.2 .726 with above configuration). - backup1

My question is, if i upgrade to a next version of 5.0.2 (i.e. .28 release which is the last stable release of 5.0.2) using TWRP recovery zip.

Now, if i restore the backup1 from TWRP, will this restore work ? i am thinking if i restore the backup (system and data backups), will the system files overwrite the newly installed 5.0.2 system files? will it be a disaster? and crashes ?

just wanted to know if this works without any issue.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] [NUT]:
Don't over think things dude. The backup will indeed contain the 'old' system, but you can update the firmware just fine without wiping data, android will fix whatever needs fixing after the update and from there on it will work just fine.

The backup files themselves will be interchangeable, they are not influenced by the firmware version. But if you restore the backup from your old system partition, it will of course revert to the older firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] chandanbs:
Thanks NUT.. the reason why i asked this was..

is this ok as long as im on the same ROM base that is 5.0.2.

what would happen if i upgrade it to 5.1.1 and root it .. and then install recovery.. and then restore the prev backed up data/system from 5.0.2?

that would totally be disastrous isnt it? cause incompatible xposed framework and its associated modules .. modded home launcher misbehaving..??

is there a thumbrule to follow while restoring the previously done backups? for example, do not restore on a different rom base??..
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] [NUT]:
Not really, you should be able to update to 5.1.1 without hassle, but you should then not restore the system from older backups.

I don't use Xposed, so I do not know if that warrants a wipe of the data partition.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Silli-Singen:
The Red LED`s working :(

Sorry if this is not the right place for this - I´m a Newbie and my english is bad...

To date, everything was okay. When I tried to install a different ROM, I was into the "TWRP" -Recovery, but wanted to go to the PhilZ- Recovery.

So I turned off the phone and when the TWRP left the SuperSu from TWRP installed.

Since then I have the problem that does not boot the phone (only the black screen with the logo can be seen).

The SD card is formatted in exFAT system and empty.

Have you any idea to fix the problem?

If you still need the data, let me know please.

Thanks in advance

Greetings

addendum: It's been dealt with. Have eliminates the problem on the PC Companion using the repair option.

Everything works perfectly again.

Sorry & Thanks

Can't enter recovery

Hey guys, im really desperate right now

Had xz dualrecovery and moonbreakers rom installed and wanted to do a clean install. I wiped system (which wasn't very clever i know) and wanted to reboot into recovery.

But now i can't get into recovery no more, tried volume up/down directly after turning on the phone. It just gets stuck at the sony screen.

The led doesn't turn green as well as it normally does

Is the situation really as serious as this thread might suggest?

http://xdaforums.com/z3-c...ooted-t3025946

No other way of getting into recovery and flash the rom? Without flashing with flashtool

Edit: my bootloader is locked
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] [NUT]:
Sucker :p

Use flashtool and a ftf to flash just system.

If you have a backup of all the partitions (and also of the internal storage), you can also flash a kitkat rom wiping the entire phone to have a quick route back up.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Voltaine:
Hahaha yeah i know :P

Ok that's what i thought, thanks [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

So basically i can just flash a 5.1.1 rom without wiping anything as i need the data stored on the phone?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] [NUT]:
Yes sir :)

Hey Nut, I followed the guide and everything seemed to go fine but I can't go into recovery at all, not even normal recovery.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
Hey Nut (giggle, sorry, I'm 12),

Stupid question but will reinstalling this recovery wipe my phone? I had XZDualRecovery installed after recently rooting my Z3C, but due to some extra steps involved with updating to the latest firmware while keeping root, I had opted not to couple your recovery with the pre-rooted firmware I generated with another tool thinking the recovery would still be there, but it appears to be missing. I didn't notice until later, but whenever I boot into recovery, it just reboots the system.

Anyhoo, thanks for all your incredible work!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] [NUT]:
No of course not :)

Installing/reinstalling XZDR should never wipe your phone unless something breaks during update/installation... but these instances are rare to say the least.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] boojay:
Thanks for the confirmation. Just reflashed and all is well!

Tried to flash it over CM12 recovery (Z3C), but it won't install. Also tried from PC with the script - NDR utils are installed but recovery stays CM. Any way to install at least TWRP somehow?

Edit: Found this one and flashed with Rashr app from Play Store. Works fine. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] petslane:
Hi,

Installed XZDualRecovery using this manual.

It's working. I can backup and restore.

But what is not working is flashing. Tried to flash CM12 and it failed with error message:

from TWRP: This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this is aries.

from Philz: This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this is .

from CWM: This package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this is amami.

So looks like these recoveries think that current device is Xiaomi Mi2, Z1 Compact or something else.

I extracted recovery.cwm.cpio.lzma, recovery.philz.cpio.lzma and recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma and did some grepping:

$ grep -ri ro.build.product= *
recovery.cwm/default.prop:ro.build.product=amami
recovery.philz/default.prop:ro.build.product=z3c
recovery.twrp/default.prop:ro.build.product=aries

$ grep -ri ro.product.device= *
recovery.cwm/default.prop:ro.product.device=amami
recovery.philz/default.prop:ro.product.device=z3c
recovery.twrp/default.prop:ro.product.device=aries

From that i would say that cwm and twrp use wrong device value. philz is using correct value but still for some reason it does not work and does not identify itself as z3c.

PS, I do not have deeper knowledge about android recoveries.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] TiMiN8R:
This is due to the CM updater-script, it's not looking for "aries". You can either edit that script to add aries, or you can fastboot flash the boot.img from the CM zip and use the recovery built into that kernel to flash it (because then it will be identified as z3c).

-transfer CM zip to your phone's storage

-On PC: extract boot..img from CM zip

-connect phone to pc in fastboot mode (turn off, hold vol+ while plugging into USB)

-fastboot flash boot boot.img

-boot phone to recovery and flash CM (full wipe!)

This is also in the HOW-TO in the CM thread
