On 2.6.29-modFXP-DooMKernel-v05a and Wolf_Xperia_7.0.0d (unlocked BL) I have the option to choose between Xrecovery & cwm recovery during startup.
When do I need Xrecovery and when do I need cwm recovery? What is the difference in use? (They look very similar to me...)
for CM based Roms cwm can be used i suppose .. or when u r tryin some new ROMs in the OP its specified which to use xrec or CWM rec !!
Sorry i know it is kind of off topic. but it is the only topic i find that is relate to Xrecovery the most.
I used the flashtool to install the xrecovery 0.3 - release ( downloaded from DoomLord page, the file call FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec)
It say already using "V0.3 GBready.zip" but when i boot in xrecovery. the top still show "xrecovery v0.3 release"
and so i try to do the xrecovery v0.3 GB updated.
but. i failed in the first line when i type "rm -r /sdcard"
it say
" rm: can't remove ' /sdcard' : No such file or directory"
can i ask what is the possible mistake i did made in the whole process.
Thanks alot everyone.

The reason why I ask is; when I do a backup (in Xrec), and then flash a different kernel, is it possible to do a restore if only CWM rec is present...?
Bugsy
MIUI or CM are based on CWM recovery.
For wolfbreak Rom use xrecovery as it is based on stock rom.
No you cant restore a backup of xrecovery from CWM or vice-versa.
Use bootmanager by doomlord to shift between different recoveries.
I have the same problem
¨ # rm -r /sdcard
rm: can't remove ' /sdcard' : No such file or directory (adb shell)
what did you do???

flash ftf file found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226826
this should solve all your recovery problems. if u have unlocked bootloader, flash the ftf files found in dooms thread for unlocked bootloader and dont forget to flash wifi modules via recovery after that

suave kernel have cwm included.For root,flash via cwm Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 First flash the kernel,because you need cwm for flashing Superuser.

Ahh, CWM is included.
Okay, then I think the next steps are:
- Start Neo in Fastmode (right butten pressed than poweron, the LED should light blue)
- rename suave-kernel-v5-exp-neo.img to boot.img
- Open Commandline on PC and run "fastmode boot boot.img"
- reboot phone to CWM and install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from SDCard
- reboot phone check root
- reboot phone to CWM, wipe and install JJHybrid_ROM_3.1_Stable_CompleteAOSP_NEO.zip
- reboot and all done.
Is this right? Or can I install the Kernel with fastmode and then reboot to CWM to install directly the new ROM without Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.
First flash the rom,then flash Superuser.Btw,i'm not using command prompts,i'm using flashtool,it's much easy to work with,and don't neet to rename the kernel.You can get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351317
I will try flashtool. I downloaded already, but dont used it so far. I will post my result when I flashed the kernel and the ROM.
This is for only Phones with Locked Bootloaders ...
This may enable People with Locked Bootloaders to use any ROM based on the Stock 4.1.B.0.431 ROM .
What does this Zip do ?
Re-Installs CWM recovery and Installs SuperSU app .
Requirements:
Rooted ICS Stock/custom ROM
naA or pvyparts's CWM Recovery.
How does this work ?
Before flashing ROMs meant for Locked Bootloaders
Format system,data and cache
Flash the ROM with install from zip option
At the end uncheck the Reboot system option so you go back the recovery
Use the install from zip option and Flash the PostInstallCWM.zip ..(once only)
Reboot device
Tested on:
DryDroid
Flush78 ICS_cold
MiniCMSandwich Lite
NeroICS_v2
RealICS_r4.1
RealICS_r5.1
Real ICS Lite r2
What about the locked Bootloader optios in ROMs ?
Sometimes the stock system charger overrides the custom required for Locked BL CWM therby blocking access to recovery .
What if I flash the zip twice ?
Chances are the zip may be aborted when extracting /xbin/sh and /xbin/su will be deleted .But you can reflash root using Root zips .
Why did you include root ?
Some ROMs have faulty root permissions and I like SuperSU over Superuser ...(or duplicate root binaries )

Ok..
Can you tell me ,what ROM did you flash this Zip over ?
Also do one thing .
mount system with CWM
use this command in cmd - adb shell
Code:
#find /system -name 'recovery.tar';find /system -name 'charger';find /system/bin -name 'chargemon';find /system/xbin -name 'sh';find /system/xbin -name 'su';
and cross check if the files are present

what should i do !?
Hello, moved this to Q&A forum. Will have a better chance of getting an answer here. Thanks.
what are you. on?
Hotboot or flash any custom kernel, go to CWM recovery and flash superuser.zip.
Why messing with root toolkits when you have unlocked bl. Make your life easier.
pls, can iI ask . question. what . is the benefit of super stock? can iuse it on suave kernel on pureness rom. thanks.
Use kernel for recommended kernel by developer...maybe you can try super stock kernel yourself.

PARANOID ANDROID JB|[v1.992]
Required:
- Flashtool in the latest version from: http://flashtool.net
- DualRecovery by NUT as installer.zip: http://nut.xperia-files.com (Download the correct one for your device and at least version 2.8.1+!)
- Root on 23.0.A.2.93 (Download) for example with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598
Featurelist:
- SuperSU integrated
- DualRecovery by NUT integrated (2.8.1)
Can be used on locked and unlocked bootloader.
Firmware Files:
D5803 and D5833
- Flashable.zip's and FTF files in folders - sorted by devices
The Flashable.zip i've created with the mighty tool PRFCreator by zxz0O0.
Installation/Update (short) guide:
0. Downgrade to the firmware 23.0.A.2.93 and root it (with giefroot)
0.1. Install the LockedDualRecovery by NUT with the installer.zip (install.bat)
1. Put the downloaded update file (ROM.zip) on your device. I recommend you to put it directly on the device.
2. Boot into the recovery (While rebooting -> when the info LED flashs -> press shortly the VOL button for the Recovery you prefer)
(On Recovery you may create a twrp/cwm backup of your device if you get any issues on updating process!)
3. Flash the ROM update file (.zip) with "install zip".
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache (perhaps under advanced).
5. Reboot to system.
You may have to wait some minutes on the first boot because of initializing system for first time (optimizing apps etc.).
What to do if you get permission errors? (While installing for example the Recovery)
Untill NUT updates his DualRecovery you should fix permissions with ADB with the following commands:
(tested with command line from the giefroot_V...\files\ directory -> shift + right mouse -> open cmd "here")
Either you could try the modified DualRecovery (installer) by NUT (modified by monx): http://d-h.st/iM9p
Code:
adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp
adb push wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko
su
cd /data/local/tmp

The "ROM" i've opened to you on this thread is a stock rom (just with SuperSU and DualRecovery integrated).
There is the stock kernel inside why it runs on both. Locked and unlocked bootloader!

There's a problem with RIC on .5.77, making it impossible to mount system r/w. Nothing to do with root, as you can do other root actions just fine.
You just need to update XZDR, [NUT] just uploaded 2.8.1, which has been fixed for Z3C on .77. Also TWRP has been updated.
Edit: Sorry, see that you already updated OP for XZDR 2.8.1.

Just need to flash a zip, i dont need flash other files with Flashtools like .93 to .77 and to hold root access? Did tu flash it? what about blotware?
thanks thanks,
Yeah, I just flashed the zip. No other steps. I have root but cannot write to /system. I see no additional bloatware. Any disabled/frozen apps I did in 4.4.4 remained that way.
Could I just install the flash.zip from rooted .77?
Does anybody try this way?
Can i flesh the zip on my d5833

from what i understand you need to restore ta partition and lock up bootloader before updating to stock loli. but you can keep root with the method in the first post
So, just flash the ZIP? Does it overwrite current installed apps? No need to flash kernel and everything else from an ftf file?
How to keep root?
I'm currently on 23.0.1.A.5.77 rooted with no custom recovery installed
Can someone explain me in a simplest way how to upgrage do Lollipop and keep roooted?

I think you could try to install NUT recovery using the installer for Windows (you have root, so adb commands should work), then flashing this firmware over the one you're using.
Hi guys, thanks for all your posts, I currently have kk version 5.77, pre rooted and dual recovery working, I would like to try this lollipop release pre rooted, I am aware of the inability to use dual recovery, however I will still try it if there is a way to revert back to the release compatible with giefroot, anyone that could help me with this, it will be highly appreciated.
