Ehrr.. pressing power+vol-up for some seconds will reboot your phone too, FYI

Does dual recovery work now? What version of busybox is installed in /system/xbin/

power+vol up didnt worked, I've tried.. busybox v0.9.6
will try dualrecovery later, running low on battery..

sorry for OOT, is there any app that I can do multiboot? stock ROM+custom ROM and I can choose either both everytime I turn on my ZL.
I have used safestrap before for my Bionic

Hmm, thats strange... oh well, you have a reboot button i don't have, so that's no problem either way

Hmm... after installation busybox 1.20.2-jb should be installed on that location... if you execute just 'busybox' it will run the first one it finds. Executing 'which busybox' will return the path and executable it finds. If it is something else then /system/xbin/busybox then you have to execute '/system/xbin/busybox' to see that specific executable's version.

I'm not aware of any mod or app that allows for multiboot, sorry.

Take a look at the system folder in there too, that's what gets extracted, you will notice the busybox executable being in the right spot there. update-script can be a bit confusing, but I gave it the order to extract 'system' from the zip and put it in to 'system' on the phone, that means all of the zip's contents, so it will extract busybox into /system/xbin/

And: you are very welcome, I'm glad to be of service to the community, which has helped me a lot in the past

That is why i am telling, inside the zip, busybox is located in "/system/bin/", so it will be extracted in "/system/bin/" in the phone, not in "/system/xbin/" folder.

At least that is the case in the zip i downloaded from your website "lockeddualrecovery1.5.zip".

I will install v1.5 in about 4-5 hours and report back with all the info you requested.

Hold back that attempt, I'll recheck the file contents to be absolutely sure before I let you try again... I actually already did, but I will do it again to make sure the files at home match the files on the website...

I was bored an tried flashing v1.5, as it is right now, from TWRP, and it failed, it gives some error almost at the end. Next I tried flashing 1.4 zip file, to see if it was a TWRP problem, but it worked fine, then tried 1.5 and it failed again.

Then booted the phone an installed manually v1.5 using ES file manager. CWM is not working, black screen, and TWRP is working. Everything just like before.

I have installed a terminal app and put the command you told me, and here it is the content of test file:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 1 1937 15554048 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

I think this would be solved if I repartition/reformat the sd from the phone, as this would change the signature and be accepted by your script, but there should be a lot of people out there with sd cards that have never been reformatted after purchase, so I will let it be as it is if you need a guinea pig.

Tomorrow I will try installing 1.5 from Windows installer script to see how it goes.

Cheers.

[DUAL RECOVERY] Version 1.6 released

Change log:
Version 1.6:

As lzcat functionality is pretty important, the script will now test the available busybox(es) for support. If it fails it will abort the script. This means that at boot no vibration or green led will show and the phone will continue boot. It will however dump the info from the installed busybox binary in /system/xbin and/or /system/bin to the preperation.log inside /tmp/XZDualRecovery. If you find yourself in this situation, please send me that log!
Improved SDCard1 detection.

All files are now available for download at http://www.fun-industries.nl/xda/

@RoberM, you where correct about busybox not being in the right place in 1.5 flashable... the online version differed from the one i had at home...

I'm happy to have a willing guinea pig, please do leave it as it is... i need to perfect the detection to make it work, it should not require people to reformat their sdcard

Thanks for the thorough testing, much appreciated :highfive:

[EDIT]

Not posting in my thread again to relay this, but as i discovered a stupid mix of scripting lingo:

4 people need to re-download 1.6!!

The bug i fixed changes the dual recovery from completely failing to working just fine

RoberM · May 9, 2013

Hi, tried lockeddualrecovery1.6.zip and it installs flawlessly :good:

TWRP works
CWM does not work (as before, black screen with purple led)

Logs:

Preparation.log

chargemon.log.old (booting CWM, then failing)

The second log looks fine to me, it is cwm who is failing, i think, because the absence of the right files in cache and in sdcard1. As you see sdcard is detected but refused by the script. Maybe if you make the check for sd card to accept everything except filesystems containing the string "ex" the script would be less restrictive.

I hope that helps, keep up the good work.

EDIT1: ---------------------------------------------------------------

I had some spare time and installed "lockeddualrecovery1.6.installer.zip" from windows.

Sdcard mounting seems fine!

preparation.log

Now i have chargemon.log in sdcard1/XZDualRecovery/, so detection and mounting is done right, so i tried (several times), booting into CWM and TWRP, there is vibration and green led, but is doesn't matter if i press vol-up or vol-down, nothing happens and it boots straight into system. No recovery to be seen.

chargemon.log.old:

What a mess man

Weird thing both installing methods won't behave the same. Maybe someone could offer his clean, just rooted device to try this.

EDIT2: ---------------------------------------------------------------

Copied (not moved) busybox from xbin to bin and got recovery back, only TWRP.

CWM still hangs, gonna look at some logs.

New logs:
tmp/XZDualRecovery/preparation.log:

sdcard1/XZDualRecovery/chargemon.log.old (loading CWM, fail)

Conclussion:

lockeddualrecovery1.6.zip - installs and uses busybox in xbin - does not mount my sdcard - TWRP ok, CWM fail
lockeddualrecovery1.6.installer.zip - installs busybox in xbin, but it needs to be in bin - mounts my sd card allright - once busybox is copied to bin, TWRP ok, CWM fail.

@RoberM

That's actually strange in more then one way... CWM boots up just fine for me, though I mostly update the files by hand... Maybe the CWM archive got corrupted somehow...

I am puzzled about the sdcard1 not mounting... I'll recheck my fix and hope to release a fixed update zip tonight...

Please read my edit, you posted while i was editing, new and important stuff there.

Thanks.

Edit: RE-edited my previous post with more info and logs.

PS1: i think it would be a good idea if you test both installers before release starting from as clean as possible system, instead of just updating by hand and releasing the installers

PS2: By the next week, the dual recovery probably will be at v20.5 and still having about the same features, i think it would be a good idea adding a letter or another number to the version number, so new features will be distinguished from bugfixes, for example 1.6a, 1.6b, 1.6c... and so on would be bugfixes of 1.6. v1.7 would be new features, 1.7a would be bugfix of 1.7, etc... Just a suggestion.

Hi!

I have Cpasjuste's TWRP 2.4.3.x recovery installed via APK. It works fine and I can get to recovery.
I removed Cpasjuste's recovery and tried to install dual recovery via Win installer. No errors during install,
but I can't get to recovery.

So, any help is highly appreciated. How to get there?

P.S Any chance for updated TWRP 2.5.x APK, please.

[NUT] is doing a great job fixing the installer, so wait a little for an updated revision. For now I think you can fix your problem if you copy busybox from /system/xbin/ to /system/bin/ using any root allowed file manager.

Recovery is not working even after copying the busybox.

Went from CWM recovery 6.0.2.8 for locked bootloaders to CWM 6.0.3.0 & TWRP 2.5.0.0 using method 2 ( lockeddualrecovery1.6.zip) on the thread and no luck...

How to fix?

[NUT] · May 9, 2013

@RoberM

Thanks for the extensive testing so far, including the usefull pointers

Regarding the versioning, I will move to v2 with the big changes, all changes regarding bugs get fixed by minor increments, so taking your assumption, v1.41 would actually be possible

I'll work on a release kitchen tonight, eliminating release errors all together...

Nice!

@Mitsuya Cider

Copying busybox is a possible fix only when using "lockeddualrecovery1.6.installer.zip" from windows. Maybe if you post the logs requested in the OP, we can help in your case. Or... just wait, as [Nut] just announced a new release tonight.

Anyway if none of the two recoveries is booting on you, you will need to use the windows installer.

[NUT] · May 9, 2013

@RoberM

It will probably be a rerelease of 1.6, as there is going to be quite some work to be done to build that kitchen to cook up future releases... Dunno if a really new release will happen due to that work...

Hi!

Download busybox !

Temporary solution :

> adb push busybox /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery
> adb shell
$ su
# stop
# busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery/busybox /system/xbin
# chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
# chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# ./system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
# rm /system/bin/busybox
# ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox
# reboot

Now you are able to enter in custom recovery !

Also I can not enter in cwm recovery, but only on twrp ! ( I had the same problem, also with the older versions ! )
Xperia Z C6603 with locked bootloader !

Thanks !

Oh, excuse me, english is not my main language and I didn't understand what this kitchen thing was about and I assumed it was a standard release tonight X'D

Now that I understood it, please, have fun developing it, I will be pleased to test the results when it is ready.

Keep up the good work!

[DUAL RECOVERY] Version 1.7 released

Change log:
Version 1.7:

Created a kitchen to cook up new releases, hoping it will avoid future release headaches :fingers-crossed:
Moved the reboot from the run.sh to an adb command in install.bat, as it was causing junk to be left behind. ( Thank you for your pointer @surdu_petru )
Improved busybox detection. ( Thanks for the test work @RoberM and @surdu_petru )
Improved SDCard1 detection. ( Thanks for the test work @RoberM )
Dual Recovery now sets CPU min (1Ghz) and max (1.5Ghz) frequencies on all cores, i hope it helps to speed the recoveries performance up.
