[DEVDB][TWRP][PhilZ Touch] XZDualRecovery 2.8.26 RELEASE

[Sebi673]

TWRP won't mount system partition on the 5.1 update for xperia Z. Still I remembered having the same issue when 5.0 appeared and @McBane87 worked out a nice workaround to mount twrp system partition.
You'll have to go in recovery (TWRP) and pop these lines into the Terminal Emulator. (below) System Partition should be mounted (and working).

mount -o ro /system
mount -o rw,remount /system
umount /system
mount /system

+1, Same issue on my Tablet Z with 5.1.1, mount -rw /system in terminal as workaround

But remember that this was causing other problems with corrupted system partition if you installed a hole image. Better find out why system partition isn't able to mount rw.

Are you both 100% sure to be using 2.8.21?

It looks like there is an issue with the 'kernel builder' tool. Ive tried multiple times uploading boot.img for CM-12.1-20150906-NIGHTLY-Z3C and I get "Something went wrong uploading the file, please start over and try again."

It's a freaking mystery, for some reason a temporary storage location keeps disappearing without any obvious reason... I restored it, it should now be working again.

It was 1 am so i downloaded a PRF someone else made (it says it has 2.8.21). I'm gonna make my own PRF with the latest xzdr and see then Anyway it's not a huge issue as long as it's usable.

Oh... I remember now.... Restoring a backup or flashing another zip was a *****. Is there something I can do to work around this? Or even better, what can I do to help?

yes, have tested with .21 .20 and unofficial .18 on my tabz and same issue on all

The Xperia ZR C5503 ROM 10.7.A.0.222 uses two separate mounts for odex files — /system/odex.app and /system/odex.priv-app (there are two separate squashfs images for them, and framework odex files are in /system/framework/arm and no longer stored in a compressed squashfs image). The previous ROM release (10.6.A.0.454) had just a single mount for odex files (/system/odex).

Unmounting those new mounts before starting the recovery fixes the /system mount problem in TWRP:

Mounting /system in TWRP works for me now; testing backup/restore will take some minutes.

Update: Tested backup/restore in TWRP after applying this fix; as expected, it works.

Well, first of all. Just install the newest XZDR (flashable) from NUT's Website (see OP). You should be able to install it over the existing one. If this isn't resolving the issue, then please post the output of "mount" while you are normally running android.

EDIT:
Ok, thanks to @sigprof. I think he found the problem.

I redid the installation, and same output. twrp log in attach. Also the logcat with "mount" filter. Hope it helps

That's not what I meant. I wanted to see the output of the command "mount", which you have to enter in terminal. But no problem. The reason was already mentioned by sigprof

Thank you for your help. it is repaired

 

[toudas]

I had Dual Recovery installed, but it is not working now. Problem is, my USB doesn't work any more (I charge with a charging dock). Is there any possibility that i copy files from flashable zip, set permission etc. and recovery gonna work again?
Thanks.

Found a solution

so, adding these line to the existing 2 lines on dualrecovery.sh (in the installable version) will fix the mount issue?

You can try. I added them. Should work for TabZ.
