[STOCK][D650X][4.4] Update to 17.1.1.A.0.402 [Root & XZDR]

[[NUT]]

Requirements:

• Flashtool 0.9.16 by @Androxyde
• XZDualRecovery 2.7.124 BETA or newer.
• Current rooted FW version: 17.1.A.0.55 or 17.1.A.0.69.

Special features:

• SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
• XZDualRecovery 2.7.124 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
• init.d support (read how to enable)
• For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!

In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.

If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!

How to update to 17.1.1.A.0.402:

1. Files (Find the files on the DevDB Downloads tab!):
   • For D6502: Download D6502_17.1.1.A.0.402.flashable.zip (931MB) and D6502_17.1.1.A.0.402_Stripped.ftf (23MB)
   • For D6503: Download D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402.flashable.zip (912MB) and D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402_Stripped.ftf (22MB)
   Save them somewhere you remember;
2. Put 'D650X_17.1.1.A.0.402.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
3. Put 'D650X_17.1.1.A.0.402_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
4. Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
5. Flash 'D650X_17.1.1.A.0.402.flashable.zip' in TWRP;
   NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
6. Flash everything in 'D650X_17.1.1.A.0.402_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
7. Reboot to system.

The first boot will be slow and after some time at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.

Enjoy! :laugh:

Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.

How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:

• Restore a .55 or .69 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
• Root it using any means you are familiar with.
• Install XZDualRecovery;
• Then try to update again using TWRP.
• If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
  NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.

Thank you

Huzzah! Thanks for your hard work, @[NUT]! You were there since the beginning, and without you (and the others) this wouldn't be possible!

Just out of curiosity, what's the base FTF for this ROM?

How do I get TWRP to start instead of CWM?

D6502 is based on Customized_IN

D6503 is based on Customized_DE

How do I get TWRP to start instead of CWM?

Press volume down to enter twrp.

Hold vol down on boot or use NUT app to set which recovery will be primary when you restart device. (you'll get that app with recovery)

BTW, the only backup options I see in TWRP are:

• Kernel Image
• Trim Area
• System
• Cache
• Data

I don't see SDCard

If I'm reading this correctly,

The default on first boot with the boot-to-recovery flag set by any recovery is PhilZ Touch Recovery.
In your XZDualRecovery folder in either /cache or /storage/sdcard1 you will find a file called XZDR.prop. Set dr.default.recovery=cwm to dr.default.recovery=twrp to change the default recovery to TWRP. The button choice however takes precedence, so you can always overrule the default!
You can also change back to 'Vanilla CWM' if you wish by changing dr.vanilla.cwm=false to dr.vanilla.cwm=true in the XZDR.prop file.
Init.d support is disabled by default, set dr.enable.initd to true to enable it.
Insecure ramdisk support is disabled by default, set dr.insecure.ramdisk to true to enable it, set to 'power' to boot it by pressing the power button at boot.

Once you're done with flashing all the files and reboot your phone, you will see a new app installed. That's [NUT]'s app.

Something is not right. When I keep VOL down with reboot the device stays black

UPDATE : Got everything done Thanks

Am on 402 rooted without even touching the bootoader

@[NUT]
OK mate...
Awesome work

 

[hidea]

Ahh, yes. @[NUT] app is actually in the app drawer, and it's called NDR Utils. The icon is a cute red little devil! The app will let you choose which primary (default?) recovery to use. Also, has a bunch of power menu options.


Now… slightly off topic; will we be seeing a similar XZDR and ROM for the Z2 tablets (particularly the 16GB WiFi/SGP511)?


Again, thanks for the good work, @[NUT]!

 

[sierrarohan]

Super!!

Fantastic!! Downloading files to downgrade first and then will test this!! Excited and will report back in 3-4 days due to slow bandwidth speeds!

 

[hush66]

It works! Woohoo!

I'm happy to report that I went through the entire process (downgrade to .55, rooted via Community RootKit, installed dualrecovery, then flashed [NUT]'s files) and I'm on 402 with locked bootloader and everything's working well so far! :good::laugh::highfive:

 

[RedSkyRoad]

Guys, AWESOME work...

Being on .402, rooted, TA backed up, locked, seems almost unreal

 

[Strangeland16]

ok everything went well but i have no network signal just a red cross next to the icon

What model? Did you flash the entire ftf as instructed?

I'm working on the Recovery at least, using my DIY guide some brave and helpful soul should be able to create a package then.

Try to go to Settings -> More -> Internet settings and download your network settings.
