Can I only boot the recovery via the app and quit that delay at boot?

Thanks for all Nut, you working hard for us, thanks.

Yes, that's possible but do you wish never to have the option to boot in to recovery by key press?

Yes, how i can do that ?

You are aware that you will not be able to enter recovery when or if you ever end up in a bootloop?

You actually can but it requires an sdcard1 which holds the xzdualrecovery folder... It's possible to enter recovery by creating a file called 'boot' there, but it does make this way out of a bootloop require a pc and a sd cardreader.

Hi mate, just few things to ask

[size=4][b][color=Blue]When installing custom ROMs:[/color][/b][/size]
Be sure to flash Z1-lockeddualrecovery[I][VERSION][/I]-BETA.flashable.zip from [url]http://nut.xperia-files.com[/url] after installing the ROM and before you reboot, this way you will not lose recovery!

Is that mean if I flash this recovery over beta 2.7.73 I'll have to reflash older recovery to be able to flash ROM?

I guess not - but just want to be sure...

Sorry I just checked OP again and now I get it.
That's for flashing new kernel or ROM with a kernel - to be sure recovery will stay or if recovery isn't already in kernel.

BTW - thanks again for awesome work...

Sorry for being a n00b with the Z1 but, does this work for 4.2 AND 4.3?

It should.

And it's a valid question :good:

WOW. Finally I got my Z1 and I rooted it in like 30 minutes or less

-Phone came with the .534, this recovery worked like a charm because I dind't have to use vroot. I just installed the SuperSU .zip and voila! Root in 3 minutes

-Then I made a backup of my TA

-Flashed the .136 to unlock the bootloader

-After unlocking the bootloader I installed the doomkernel and as I did before, installed the SuperSU .zip

-SuperSU was fully working, so I reinstalled the original kernel (with all wipes just to be sure) and restored my TA partition.

Do you have full root? I didn't see you saying that installed XZDualRecovery (which have disable RIC script to enable full root).

This is a stock based recovery package, if you use CM it won't work.
