Hey guys,
i have rooted many phones before, however i am having a problem with a previously rooted Sony Z1.
The previous happenings:
I rooted the device by unlocking the bootloader on the sony site. I then loaded on clockwork recovery and slapped cyanogen mod on it.
The phone was fine and working nicely, but recently stopped updating Cyanogen mod. I attempted to boot into recovery to install the latest version but all combinations of button pushing lead to nothing for a good few seconds before it starts to boot back into cyanogenmod again.
I tried using apps and various other methods to boot into fastboot, recovery and bootloader but it all goes right back into the OS.
I now have no way of updating the OS and tried using ADB to load on recovery again. ADB can see the device, and pushes successfully but when trying to boot into it, again, it does nothing but go back to the OS.
Can anyone give me a hand in popping on a recovery and somehow installing the latest Cyanogen back on? This is by far the biggest pain in the butt phone to root to begin with, but any help is much appreciated.

I've ran into almost exactly the same issue. Only difference is that I'm yet to install a custom ROM.
If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Dual recovery is for stock roms, it won't work on CM.

I'm on the stock Vodafone rom.
I've tried running the dual recovery again it says it succeeds but I still can't boot into flash mode.
The weird thing is that I previously could.
I've also tried flashing boot.img but still no luck
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You do not need recovery or root to enter flashmode. Flashmode is a boot mode that completely stock phones can boot into in order to perform updates via PCCompanion

I'm not sure how to quote inline as you just did but:
- Yes I've rooted the phone
- You're right I'm mixing things up. I can't enter recovery I can go to flash mode. (blue led)
- No I haven't unlocked the boot loader
- Dual fails on my Mac, I will boot into my windows install and come back with the output.
Thanks for your time.

Wrong, Blue LED is fastboot, green LED is flashmode. This may be your issue.
- No I haven't unlocked the boot loader

then you wont be able to flash the boot.img

Use any root explorer and goto system and try to create a file or folder. If you are not mounted as RW it will prompt you to do so. Let me know if you can create a file or folder in the system partition

That should be ok and install dual recovery. The issue is getting the system to be RW. Try running it again and use option 3.

Ok, so I
1. flashed .108
2. rooted user dualrecovery
3. verified permissions by creating a new file in system and recovery was working fine.
I then tried to install darkCM per instructions but after flashing in recovery the phone wont boot.
It will just show a a blinking red LED when it's on a charger.
The only way I could find to fix it was to install stock vodafone firmware.
I retried the above twice with the same result, I hope I'm not to much a nuisance but if you could help me any further i'd appreciate it.:good:

Hello Sirs,
First of all, I did search about this topic and I couldn't find the answers I'm look for. (may be my search skills are so bad). I apologize if there is already a thread related to this.
So here is my issue.
1. Updated my Xperia Z1 (India) to official 4.4.4 update via OTA. I rooted the phone using EasyRootTool_v8. Everything looked good and I used root uninstaller app to uninstall Walkman (before backing up). Now I need it back because I felt Walkman 8.4.A.1.4 works better. So I tried to get it back by downloading the same exact walkman APK and put it in system folder with full permission and restarted the phone and that got installed. But everytime I restart the phone it says "Android is upgrading". After this when I try to open walkman it says "Unfortunately walkman has stopped"
2. So I tried to install the Dual Recovery and it says success, but with read only errors. The reason why I needed recovery it to flash everything from scratch and go back to 100% official built so walkman would work.
Here are the results of EasyRootTool v8 and Dual Recovery:

Please help as I'm very very new to this..
First, correct me if I'm wrong. Walkman 8.4.A.1.4 is on Android 4.4.3, isn't it?
I don't think so. But I received this update for Walkman only after updating to 4.4.4. By the way. I managed to root install the recovery successfully. Just waiting for the stock rom download to complete so I can flash it.

Hello Sirs,
First of all, I did search about this topic and I couldn't find the answers I'm look for. (may be my search skills are so bad). I apologize if there is already a thread related to this.
So here is my issue.
1. Updated my Xperia Z1 (India) to official 4.4.4 update via OTA. I rooted the phone using EasyRootTool_v8. Everything looked good and I used root uninstaller app to uninstall Walkman (before backing up). Now I need it back because I felt Walkman 8.4.A.1.4 works better. So I tried to get it back by downloading the same exact walkman APK and put it in system folder with full permission and restarted the phone and that got installed. But everytime I restart the phone it says "Android is upgrading". After this when I try to open walkman it says "Unfortunately walkman has stopped"
2. So I tried to install the Dual Recovery and it says success, but with read only errors. The reason why I needed recovery it to flash everything from scratch and go back to 100% official built so walkman would work.
Here are the results of EasyRootTool v8 and Dual Recovery:

After flashing by flash tools, you'll lose your root access, I think
But you can lock your boot loader and then try again

Download is not working
I'm having issues downloading the following installer zip: Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer.zip from nut.xperia-files.com
Each time I download the file, it has a different SHA1 hash and none of the last ten downloaded .zip files was a valid .zip file.
I can however properly download the .flashable.zip
Is the .installer.zip file broken? Or maybe the "randomizer" part that get's added to the URL?
[Edit:] None of the .installer.zip downloads are working for me, all of the .flashable.zip downloads are. OS is Windows 7 Pro with most recent patches, but shouldn't be relevant.
[Edit2:] Chrome and Firefox behave the same way, IE aborts the file transfer at a random point

In case anyone should ever have that issue: Downloading the file on my mobile phone using the QR Code and then transferring the file to my PC worked.

Thank you very much. You saved me, I was really stressing over this. Your solution worked perfectly. And so much simpler than many other options I had seen.

Guys, please much needed help here... For Mac.
I know very well for the devs this one is no brainer, but I need to ask since I'm not that tech savvy, anyway, here is the question; in the instruction listed, there is a command for windows and linux. May I ask how about for Mac, using the Terminal.app.
What installer option
Hi there,
I'm using Kingroot. Your install.bat file has options 1. Rooted with SuperSU & 2. Rooted with SuperUser.
Can I still use this installer? if so, what would I do, please.
Thank you
Hi, i flashed this stock pre-rooted with the recovery integrated on my z3 compact http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5833-lollipop-pre-rooted-xzdr-2-8-14-t3091372 and i have NDR Utils installed and i can reboot in recovery via NDR utils, but when I turn off my z3 Compact, once I boot it, I feel the vibrate, see the green light but whatever i do, holding or pressing volume UP or DOWN, nothing happend it won't start in recovery, just boot normaly, and I wonder why. If anywone have an answer, that would be apreciated thanks.
Hi,
I have rooted my Z3c with KingRoot and installed TWRP Manager. TWRP Manager installed a patch to enable writing to SD and busybox. My question is :-
Can I install the Z3c flashable zip via TWRP manager ?

No luck installer - waiting for device connect USB now
I am using the Z3C installer - I am rooted and running SuperSU. The installer starts the deamon and then waits for the device - and stays waiting.
I have tried with the USB cable connected before and after running the script - same result.
The instructions just say to run the script - is there another step that isn't mentioned?
Waiting for device - help
OK Z3C on 5.0.2 rooted initially with KingRoot then replaced with SuperSU. All functioning fine.
Now I need a custom recovery. Downloaded the 2.8.21 install script to a Windows 7 laptop. When it runs it starts a daemon and then says connect uSB cable now. It then waits for the device - for ever.
There is an option to install ADB drivers to Windows BUT that requires your 'phone to be in recovery. The Z3C has no recovery!
What am I missing?
EDIT
It was and ADB drivers issue. For anyone else having this issue Install the Windows version of the Sony Z3c companion as it will install the ADB drivers for you!

Download the unbranded version of ftf for your area and flash it via flashtool. The ftf can be downloaded as well from flashtool google it.
Then install nut's dual recovery then flash any stock based rom for locked bootloader...i prefer to use twrp then cwm bcos cwm is kinda absolute now...:thumbup:

I think I need to do this as well, since my light sensor is broken after checking it from *#*#7378423#*#*
However I also lost my recovery (for no reason) and can't boot into boot loader
So I'm guessing I need FTF tool and Nut Dual recovery and flash stock ROM over my existing?

Ok that worked fingers crossed the sensors work on this mod... I have managed to install and gone with most stock options, any recommendations? I left the DPI as 32 but didnt know the effect of upping it.
Any other recommended Mods?
Nope it appears as the sensors are still not working... any other ideas?
Did you recently dip your phone into water?

4) Choose "3" and hit enter, if is device ask for trust PC touch yes of course
If already on rooted stock rom with recovery
5) Download PRE-ROOTED rom for your xperia (C5503 or C5502)
6) Download XZDualRecovery flashable zip (HERE!)
7) Place downloaded zip's to your external SD card
8) Restart your phone and boot into recovery
9) FULL WIPE your phone (System, Cache, everything...)(don't external SD Card of course )

Reacting to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/general/ub-how-to-root-10-6-0-454-lollipop-t3114666
Inspired by this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-c6602-customized-10-6-0-454-t3114152
1-You need old stock room with working root and recovery (if u havent rooted firmware flash firmware .230, it is good for easy rooting by towelroot)
2-Download PRFCreator, XperiFirm and Flashtool
3-Download SuperSU (https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip)
4-Download firmware for your phone (using XperiFirm)
5-Create FTF using Flashtool (Tools->Bundles->Create and here move all thigs from folder list to firmware content)
6-Open PRFCreator and here put your created FTF, downloaded SuperSU.zip, check all thigs and click Create
7-After finished copy your new created zip firmware to your sd card
8-Boot into recovery on your old rooted rom (I used Philztouch)
9-Wipe all caches (I also format system partition)
10-Instal your lollipop zip rom from sdcard
11-Enjoy rooted Android 5.0.2
I dont have recovery now, I tryed include it to rom by PRFCreator and get bootloop, so react if some get working recovery.
EDIT: Do not try install or flash XZDualRecovery after upgrade to Lollipop, it made bootloop because there is some problem with SELinux
EDIT2: Added download links
EDIT3: Updated with working XZDualRecovery
Hope you understand my terrible English

- Flash kernel you downloaded
- boot goto recovery and wipe all (system, cache, dalvik cache, data)
- flash system zip (made by PRFCreator)
- reboot and done ( no need flash supersu again

Hi,
download xperifirm http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 open it and from list select your phone and model. After select your device click on "Check all". After xperifirm finish work find customization with 10.6.A.0.454 Latest Release (for example HK - Honk Kong). Under PayPal logo you will see available firmwares so click on 10.6.A.0.454 and start download.
I'm getting an error when I open super su saying that no binary is installed and that I would have to manually re root..
I used the beta super su update.zip version 2.23 Does that make a difference?
And is there any way to resolve the error?

You must 1st have old firmware on your smartphone (for ZR 10.5.A.0.230), then use this installer, that root your old firmware and install recovery, and from this recovery you install your created prerooted lollipop rom.

I think you must do wipe before installing lollipop rom, because for examle in my case, recovery from old rom doing bootloop after upgrade. That is also reason why i dont have recovery now (anyway I dont need), because after install recovery system get into bootloop.
I recommend to you use TitaniumBackup first, backup your apps, and after install lollipop restore it back.

The RIC is what prevents you from (normally) making /system read/writeable on the stock kernel. Normally, this is defeated by flashing root and a RIC killer at the same time (e.g., SuperSU + XZDR).
Looks like you've got it sorted.
i have a rooted xperia zr on 5.1.1 with superSU and dual recovery installed but can't get ES explorer to let me use root explorer after providing super user access to the app. can't get sony ric killer to work, either. i'm flat out of ideas.
I've had this issue when i flashed the latest 5.1.1 zip. The solution that worked for me was to flash the kernel with XZDR again. After that the root explorer option in ES file explorer sticks.
Bro, you have to disable Sony RIC
