NDRUtils-Google play says "your device isn't compatible with this version"

Installed dual recovery XSP-2.7.102-BETA
On Stock android 4.3-12.1.A.1.201

A suggestion.. How about setting camera button to enter CWM?

I'll have a look and add the SP to play's compatibility list... Sorry about that

The reason for not using the camera button is because of cross device compatibility.

Next major version will have a different solution to this though.

It's ok. It's already installed by your recovery installer as a system app. Didn't see it earlier. Sorry!

I've updated the app's compatibility list, I saw your model wasn't the only one not receiving updates...

All have been corrected.

Basic Recovery Functions don't work

@[NUT]

Hello!

Your dual recovery looks very promising that I reflashed my phone just to install it (yes, i got to remove the old recovery that way, because there are no removal instructions on the thread I used before). Upon successful installation, everything works, great!

After some minutes I thought of playing with PhilZ recovery. What is awesome is that, I now have an awesome recovery. While testing every possible functions, I tried the "Flash Zip". And I chose to flash from sdcard0. What is interesting here is that the recovery cannot mount sdcard0. I stand there weird, felt that the error is extremely unsuitable.

With sadness due, I decided to not use PhilZ. I rebooted and booted into TWRP. Awesome again, I can't use the touch screen at all. I can't do nothing. And this forced me to shut down my phone via the force shutdown button in the back.

Yes, maybe I can still use PhilZ, however moving every possible flash zips into sdcard1 is a pain!

If you want some logs, I have them in my Mega cloud.. Here's the link.

Any fix would be extremely appreciated from the real bottom of my nerdy brain and hearts! :victory:

@TechnoSparks

what version did you try?

 

[TechnoSparks]

@[NUT]

How stupid of me, forgot to mention the version! Sorry :/

I used the version 2.7.107 Beta.
For Xperia SP indeed.

I think I included a test-fix version this time, while it confirms my hunch it didn't fix it... (thank you for that) I do know how to fix it for sure, I'll inform you when 108 is online.

@TechnoSparks

I have a small thing to test for you, if you're game?

Use NDRUtils to reboot to CWM and see if that can actually mount sdcard0?

Okay I would be glad to see the outcome

Yes I did what you asked and the mounting works while pooping rainbow! :victory:

I am quite a noob here tho, philz is CWM based, right? So this is probably an error from the Philz recovery, isn't it?

Yes, that's correct, nothing noobish about that assumption

108 now online.
