Xperia ZU & Z1 recovery for locked bootloaders v4, Fully working! BETA STAGE[19/10]

I'm proud to present to you:
Recovery for locked bootloaders for S800 Xperia devices​

This recovery should also work on unlocked bootloaders

This thread is for user discussion for Z Ultra and Z1!

== Information ==
Still not 100% confirmed as stable, but everything except dates in backups should work
- CWM recovery (volume up, default)
- TWRP recovery (volume down)
- Locked and unlocked bootloaders

== Howto? ==
- Enter CWM by pressing volume up when phone vibrates and LED is green during kernel logo
- Enter TWRP by pressing volume down when phone vibrates and LED is green during kernel logo

== Downloads ==
- Mega: XZU & Z1 recovery v4 Windows
- Mega: XZU & Z1 recovery v4 Linux Will come later

== Installation ==

WINDOWS: How to install using the installer:

1. Make sure you have USB debugging turned ON.
2. download
3. unpack at C: or somewhere you will remember!
4. navigate to the resulting directory and look for
   • If you have SuperUser installed on your phone: superuser.bat
   • If you have SuperSu installed on your phone: supersu.bat
5. Run the file you need to install, follow instructions.
6. Your phone WILL reboot when installation has completed and it will go into the default recovery for the first boot.
7. Reboot to system from recovery to allow the installer to clean up after installation (it is safe to skip this step).
8. Enjoy CWM RECOVERY!

LINUX: How to install using the installer:

1. Make sure you have USB debugging turned ON.
2. download Coming tomorrow!
3. unpack in your home folder with xzurecovery-linux.zip

   • If you have SuperSu installed on your phone: supersu.sh
5. Run the file you need to install, follow instructions.
6. Your phone WILL reboot when installation has completed and it will go into the default recovery for the first boot.
7. Reboot to system from recovery to allow the installer to clean up after installation (it is safe to skip this step).
8. Enjoy CWM RECOVERY!

Error reporting:
Please, when reporting errors or problems:

• Put up a notice in this thread providing the package name you used to install or update;
• Include ROM name and/or FW version numbers;
• Send me the contents of all the log files from right after a failed boot attempt or a link to an archive containing these logs by PM (that's including the .old rotation logs!). If you have no website or online location to store the logs, PM me for an email address to send them to.
• Logs can be found inside:
  • /cache/recovery
  • /tmp/XZDualRecovery
  • /storage/sdcard1/XZDualRecovery
  • /cache/XZDualRecovery (if the previous exists, this one will not!)
  NOTE: I need them ALL!

I really need them to troubleshoot what failed and what worked OK. Thank you!

It does not work, when rebooting the first time the screen will flash like ~10 times (I think it's trying to enter Recovery, but it seems there is a missing fle) but nothing will happen, and after ~10 times it will just boot normally. If I reboot again and I press the volume key the same thing will happen. I was so excited :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Let me know if you need help troubleshooting it.

My Bootloader is Locked. I am using .510 with SuperSU

Update 1: I have unlocked the bootloader and tested again, now it will not event flash the screen.

Update 2: I have attached the Recovery.log file, there seems to be a problem with a file that doesn't exist

Update 3: Back to Lock Bootloader

11:09:49: The recovery file does not exist, exitting with a visual warning!

I fixed the link

[danilos2k]

some feedback?

 

[Feodorus 4PDA]

NICE. Thanks friend. Everything is ok. CWM works.

I can confirm the device will boot fine into CWM Recovery. :good:

Nonetheless after ~40 sec idle in Recovery mode it will auto-reboot.

I just measured the time, it's exactly between 40 sec and 42 sec, then will auto-reboot. It doesn't matter what are you doing with the Recovery, it will always auto-reboot.

Attached is the log file:

Ok, now I need logs, from
- sdcard1/XZUDualrecocery

- cache/XZUdualrecovery

Or similar named folders
