Hi,
I do not have permission for posting a new thread on XZDualRecovery Q&A so I have to post in here. I have updated to .314 firmware and when I tried to install locked dual recovery (.150 &.151 versions), it got some errors and did not reboot and the green led did not occur. I selected option 1 for superSu and tried version 1.94,2.00 & 2.01 but did not reboot either.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
Florence

Salut,
try to re-root your phone with xperia tools... or, with, try to reflash the 314 firmware ftf with flashtool and re-root
I think you did not root the device, before you tried installing dual recovery. What you need to do now is to root the phone (use this tool) and then try to install dual recovery again (select option 1).
Thank you for replying.
I have re-rooted my phone and still the same problem. I found a strange thing. When I exacted the dual recovery, it did not let me to choose an option and there's nothing in the step 3. see the first picture.
When I just double click the install.bat without exacting, I can choose an option but it cannot find the path so I think why it keeps saying "no such file". see the second picture.
Thanks

Really didn't want to make a new thread about this but honestly people just jumped to conclusions without being helpful in my previous thread.
Long story short I'm trying to manually get 4.4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664561
I saw that I needed to get s-off, which requires root. Bootloader was already unlocked and so did everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273376
I installed CWM. It said to install a superuser tool so I installed SuperSU.
"You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead." was the next line. <-- I saw that message. Installed a kernel that he recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
After reboot I get SuperSU error: There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device etc.
Can anyone help me get the proper SU Binary installed? Not a beginner to rooting as I've had had several previous phones before. Never encountered something as annoying as this.
On 4.3, 3.17.502.3.
I had the same issue when I installed 4.4.2 on my international One.
What I done to root was;
- downloaded SuperSU v1.80 zip from here.
- download SuperSu from the Play Store
- in SuperSU, select the option to install binaries via TWRP/CWM. (If it doesn't reboot to recovery, manually enter recovery)
- flash the supersu v1.80 zip and reboot
- open SuperSu and install the binaries using the normal option.
That then enabled my root. I'd tried quite a few different variations and this was the only method that worked for me.

I flashed the Recovery_Cingular_US in fastboot. Unfortunately I'm unable to boot into stock recovery. I've been told right after you enter recovery from bootloader you press all three buttons simultaneously?
Is there a way to get into stock recovery from fastboot? Or better yet install the ROM from fastboot?

You seem very confused about the whole rooting process ... what was the point in flashing the stock recovery ? Are you trying to install the OTAPkg.zip ?
what Rom are you wanting to install and whats flashing stock recovery have to do with it ?
Well, if you looked at the thread I linked, you'll see that it says to flash a stock recovery file in order to install the OTAPkg.zip

to get into stock recovery
boot to bootloader
choose recovery
wait for black screen, hold vol up and then power
you will see something about sdcard fail .. ignore it till the menu comes up
then choose to flash OTAPkg.zip from sdcard
Hi
I Decided to Unlock the bootloader as well as enable root access inorder to upgrade my kitkat4.4.4 to lollipop 5.1.
The bootloader unlocking went smooth and I continued to enable root access.
I downloaded the Supersu file and tranmsfered to my sd card . The websites were offered a D2203 4.4.2 boot file image. I used the flashtool -> flashboot mode -> Select kernal to flash -> selected the downloaed image and flashed while i had connected my phone while having blue notification light on. No problems occured.
Next i enter'd the CWM menu and installed the supersu zip. All went smooth and i re-booted.
Next , after rebooting my device is stuck in a bootloop. I can only access the CWM menu , tried to Restore factory settings/ Wipe data , Nothing worked.
Please help me identify mistake(s) i've done and solutions to fix the root access and successfully be able to install lollipop 5.1 on my device .
Links to guide / basic understanding of customising android would be a great help.
Thank You.

Have you tried asking for help here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/help
Root the M4 Aqua E2303 Locked Bootloader/Install TWRP on 2.167/3.92
Before we begin:
Make sure you have the following:
•A Windows PC
•Flashtool (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetTnhWX0J5UG5hN28/view?pref=2&pli=1)
•The .128 firmware (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzVQf67OZ9NtMFotOXRycTZoSlk/view?pli=1)
•Patience
•A good internet connection
•15 to 20 minutes
• The M4 Aqua Root Toolkit (https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02odzn1/rootkitXperia_E23xx.zip?dl=0)
•ADB Drivers (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k/view?pref=2&pli=1)
•TWRP Toolkit (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yomdwq3p2le9hvi/M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer.zip?dl=0)
How are we going to do it:
The procedure is pretty straight forward, as the M4 Aqua is only on Android™ 5.0 we can take the kernel of the older versions of firmwares so we could root the device, while keeping the firmware version to the newest release (2.167/3.92). The method has been only tried on the E2303, there may be chances of it working for the E2306.
Let's begin! Part 1, Changing the Kernel:
First, we need to install the latest Flashtool version (link above), after you proceed with the installation of Flashtool, you need to install the Flashtool drivers, which can be found in C:/Flashtool/drivers or the path you selected flashtool to be installed. Once you open Flashtool drivers you want to select FLASHMODE DRIVERS, this is only so that the M4 will be recognised while in flashmode. After the drivers have been installed, you want to move the downloaded .128 firmware to C:/Users/*YourName*/.flashtool/firmwares or you can use the other method I will show later. Once you have done that you want to open Flashtool and wait for the Sync to finish. After that has finished, you will see a lighting icon in the top-left corner, you want to press the icon and select flashmode, now the second method, at the top you will see a path leading to the generic .tft folder in which Flashtool belives the .ftf files are located by default. You can change that by pressing the button on the right and lead the program to the path of the .128 ftf file. After you have selected your .tft file you will see on the right a lot of options *everything that the .ftf file contains*, if you want to keep the data on your device you can tick the first two options, a bit down on the right you will see a lot of options, including system.bin, you want to tick everything EXCEPT for the kernel.sin, this is the most crucial part. After that is done you want to let the program prepare the files, mean while you want to power off your M4 Aqua, after the process on Flashtool is done you want to press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting the phone to the PC, once you see the green led light you can leave the button, if everything was done right the process of flashing should begin. If everything went well the kernel should be flashed and the phone should safely power on. Now we can proceed to the second part. Rooting the phone.
2ND METHOD
You can downgrade to .128 firmware and download the .167 or .92 firmware and update everything except for the kernel. You can do this by going into Flashtool, and doing the steps above but TICKING the kernel.sin. Try this if the first method doesn't work.
Part 2, Rooting the phone:
Now that we have changed the kernel we can use the root toolkit to root the device. Download the root toolkit from the link above, but before you do anything you want to go to Settings>About Phone, scroll down to Build number and press it 7 times, after that is done you want to go back to Developer options, and you want to tick USB Debugging, after you have done that you need to install the ADB Drivers from the link above, after that is done you can connect the phone to the computer, now you want to extract the toolkit and run install.bat *No administrator rights needed*, and then you should see a screen on your phone asking if you want to trust the computer, you want to tick the box saying always and you want to press yes, now the rooting process should begin and your phone to be rooted. After this is done we can proceed to the part 3, installing TWRP
Part 3,Installing TWRP:
Now, that we have root we can install TWRP using another toolkit. This part is optional but if you want any custom ROM's you need this. This part is the easiest, you need to download the toolkit from the link above and just run the script. We don't need any additional steps as we did them in Part 2.
If everything went well you should now be rooted and have TWRP with a locked bootloader and on the newest firmware.
In case of bricking you can use the Sony PC Companion tool and repair my phone/ tablet option. YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA SAVED ON YOUR PHONE.
sir , can this apply to D2353?
I have only tried on E2303, but you use the right .ftf files the procedure should work

Root and flash stock kernel tft u use
I'm having issues with this also. Downgrading the kernel only causes a boot loop animation. I can downgrade everything to 128 and it works. Going back up to latest with everything BUT kernel causes boot animation loops also.
EDIT!
Oh heck yes, I did it! For anyone stuck in a logo boot loop despite following the above, here is how I did it:
- Use Flashtool to completely flash my .167 E2303 to .128.
- Use above tools to root and install TWRP.
- Use Flashtool again, but this time in Fastboot mode. I extracted the system.sin file from a .167 ftf and then flashed system using Flashtool.
- Reboot the phone into TWRP. Clear cache, dalvik. I did NOT clear data.
- Install M4 extras. Install AOSGP. Clear cache, dalvik.
- Reboot took about 15 minutes, probably less.. and BINGO.
Thanks to all.

When i upgraded from 128 to 167, phone works well but random reboots. Any fix this issue?
Clean install of .167 and .92. Flashing the .128 kernel causes the blue boot animation to hang (the start up sound cuts off half way). Flashing the previous kernel back over works.
Same happens when I flash .128 then everything but the kernel from .167 and .92.
Unsure what the FSC script option does, but yes or no makes no difference.

If your random reboots usually happen while downloading or updating apps in the play store, you should try this. Make sure you backup your data first just in case.

Hello. Please help. I got softreboot everytime I try to call someone
Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk
Hello,
thank you for this guide. I have a question: why not extracting the old kernel and just flashing the kernel.sin?
Long story - Tried to apply the latest Marshmallow rooted package for D6503 on my 6502 that was already rooted with XZ dual recovery. It installed successfully, was rooted too...but I forgot to add the patch that would fix the radio not working. So I try to reboot to recovery...and that doesn't work anymore. I tried installing TWRP recovery from the manager app, but it wouldn't reboot. Then I ran the XZ recovery installer externally, and now my phone is ****ed. Stuck at an infinite boot loop.
At this stage the only thing I can access is flashtool and fastboot, and since my bootloader is locked I can't flash a recovery that way (nor do I want to permanently lose DRM keys/camera quality as I've heard happens with unlocking the bootloader). I have a memory card and I used the option to disable loading the recovery specified on the XZ thread by adding a 'donotload' file on the sd card.
Still no use - I get a Sony logo for about 5 seconds, the screen goes dark and back to the same. At this point probably my recovery is screwed up or non existent and a bad situation has gone worse with the bootloop.
What can I try now?
@KaiserSnorezay
XZDR is still not compatible with MM, that's why you got a bootloop...
Also you can't install the "regular" TWRP with twrp manager on a LB as there is no recovery partition... it won't work and probably will mess your phone in the process.
The solution is to flash any KK / LP .ftf with flashtool (i would wipe everything when flashing as i have backups of my data/apps) , root it with kingroot or any other method you like, install xzdr for KK/LP and finally reboot to recovery and install the latest MM prerooted rom from niaboc which already has root&recovery (not xzdr btw) included. Since you have D6502 don't forget to install the baseband patch after the rom again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-official-6-0-1-23-5-0-486-beta-t3336770
Just did it exactly this way yesterday on my friends d6503 (minus the d6502 patch obviously) had 0 troubles MM, root and recovery working perfectly.
Thanks, will try this today. Is wiping data required or can i get by by just flashing the older one?

Weird, after you have your phone rooted it should be simple to install xzdr... just enable usb debugging in the phone and make sure you have the adb drivers correctly installed in your pc.
Download the latest xzdr from nut's thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 ) unzip it and run install.bat . After a successful install the phone should reboot to twrp automatically and it's done.
Okay, I fixed it..using Flashfire! No idea why the recovery didn't work earlier, but now finally I'm on Marshmallow. Thanks for the help!

Try what ptmaniac suggested - flash an older FTF that can be rooted (more recent ones can't), root it, install recovery and then flash the newest build.
You'll have to improve your Google-fu to find a suitable firmware and a root technique for it.

Sorry, I ditched my Z2 for a Oneplus 3 in August 2016. Learnt my lesson, only going to use phones with easily unlockable bootloaders.
Hey guys after my initial failure at trying to upgrade to 575 at the weekend, I didn't realize 575 was a MM upgrade so that was partly the problem the rest was the wrong SU and recovery in my PRF flash file.
Problem I have now is i've read that many forum posts im not 100% sure what files and steps I need to take , every 575 flash instructions Ive read seem to have slightly different ways of doing it.
Im coming from 23.4.A.1.264 (LL) What i need help is to clarify exactly what i need to make a successful prf upgrade.
Im assuming Recroot is one in the recovery section of PRF?
So called dummy file in SU section of PRF?
What about bootloop.zip and RIC.zip I hear about , are they required as well?
I know xposed needs to be uninstalled as well.
LOCKED bootloader
Thx for any help/links or clarification on steps you can provide.
edit:- Sorry mods this is in wrong section, wasnt paying attention , Sorry could someone move to QA section ? thx

...went through this two days ago:
(from this post, that helped me):
prerequisities: 5.1.1 stock, rooted, with NUT Dual recovery
put all ZIPs to your MicroSD card and flash in this order.
0: do you currently have xposed? If yes, get the xposed uninstaller (google it, easy to find) and flash uninstaller first.
0. Factory reset from within current recovery (Dalvik, data, cache...)
1. flashablemm.zip
2. byeselinux.zip
3. ricdefeat.zip
4. bootloopfix.zip (FOR .575, important to get this version)
5. xposed installer.zip
6. reboot
7. INSTALL BUSYBOX (get app in PlayStore and use it to install it)
8. enable unknown sources and usb debugging
9. then connect your phone to the PC and run the install.bat from the Z2_MM_Recovery folder (Accept any prompt popping up on your phone)
5. Phone will reboot into recovery when successfull, then you're done
ZIP files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/z2-pre-rooted-twrp-3-0-0-2-xposed-t3390498
RECOVERY INSTALL: from here https://mega.nz/#!UlxGBQaD!HObJIHr9vq4VDRNI97Ni1cIiAn6iVxwE4qlPa89CGbY - Remember: only install the recovery from this file, everything else from the thread above.
NOTE: I had big problems when flashing TWRP 3.0.x IMG file from this thread. Instead get the recovery downloaded in this ZIP and install it form your PC, as described in the steps above.
One more note: I've waited for about 15minutes after finishing the flashing proces (step6). I had the startup animation going on, normally it should take maybe 5-10minutes. I got fed up after nothing was happening and restarted the phone - press the red button beside SIM flap and than power on the phone. After that it started normally.
thx i'll look into this
Do you have a link for 575 bootloop fix file?
what version of z2 do you have? if you have D6503, you can use my prerooted MM (.575). Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/prerooted-23-5-0-575-customized-t3387571
