Hi, I've deodexed the /system partition to the most recent update (at the time of writing), 15.5.A.1.5, of the Sony Xperia M DUAL SIM.
The files have been taken from the C2004 ftf, but will work perfectly fine on the C2005 too. The deodexed files come in a neat .zip for if you have an unlocked bootloader, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader please refer to this guide on how to push the files to your device.
I have also modified the services.jar file to enable SUPERUSERMOD, just push the new file to your device and enjoy. You also need to be deodexed to use SUPERUSERMOD.
I will keep this thread updated if any new firmwares get released. Just check back after about a day and I should have them up for you.
15.5.A.0.18 files:
Deodexed files
services.jar
15.5.A.1.5 files:
Deodexed files

I never actually stated how I made these files, for the deodexed files I used the Kamome tool (thanks for your tool @AndroPlus) and for the SUPERUSERMOD I followed the guide by @DavidMKD.

1) This is not the thread for that discussion, however I cannot be bothered to send you to another thread.
2) You need an unlocked bootloader for CWM, you need a custom kernel.
3) Back up all your data using titanium backup, then move it all to your computer.
4) Unlock your bootloader, this will cause a bootloop so you WILL have to flash stock firmware with flashtool. DO NOT make any more threads complaining about what has happened and how to fix it, I have just told you and there are guides on here on how to flash stock firmware, use them.

If you're trying from your phone, try installing something like ROM toolbox (it includes an unzip tool). I'm suggesting this as back in the days of 2.3 I couldn't download zip files unless I had an unzip tool present on the phone.
If that doesn't work, try downloading from a computer.
Also, try multiple browsers. Especially if one browser doesn't work.
But as I have said and shown, it works perfectly fine for me.

service.jar goes into the framework folder. Paper13579 made a guide on how to move it manually, just skip the parts what tell you to download files in their guide.
Or if you have an unlocked bootloader and recovery, drop the service.jar file into the deodex zip in the framework folder.
And I don't think there is a sure fire way to see if it is enabled, apart from installing a modded system app.
please create mirror link for 15.5.A.1.5 services.jar . I cant download it, says network error.

Mohit. I have downloaded this file but when I paste it into flashtool's firmware folder, it doesn't recognize the file. It is a zip file and when I unzip it, I get a lot of files with .sin extension. Please suggest me what to do. I have installed every driver, put my fone into usb debugging. Allowed unknown sources, boot loader unlocked, almost every thing is done but in the flash mode when I klik on flashmode, I get a pop up where I have to select the firmware, but the zip file or its extracts are not shown there.

If you have an unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with CWM embedded into it you are able to download that file to your phone and flash it through CWM.
If you have a locked bootloader however you have two options;
1) Download the file to your phone and then extract it. After extracting it you are able to move all of the files in the .zip to their relevant place on the /system partition.
2) If you don't want to do that you can download Flash Gordon and install that to your phone (search it in the forums) and then download the runtime.zip to your phone and then use Flash Gordon to flash it for you. Flash Gordon is similar to CWM, however you cannot flash ROMs in it and you don't have to reboot your phone until after the mod has been installed.

Bro download the runtimeskin.zip and extract it (and you will get two folder named system and meta-inf ) move the files from the system folder to its respective places i;e (to system/etc/permission and system/framework) in your Xperia using root explorer and reboot your phone and don't forget to clear the cache and data of play store and play services.

In your SDCard, simply delete the files in the XZDualRecovery or rename the XZDR.prop. If you delete them, they get recreated anyway and fixes that problem you had with 101

Locked or unlocked BL isn't important with these files.
Just upload the ZIP to your SDCard and flash it in recovery, then power off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF with Flashtool and you're done.

But for those (like my self) who are not experts on this, could you please, provide a detailed (step by step) guide on how to flash it?

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it

Requirement:
Must be full root
Quick Installation:
Download and extract the installer on your windows pc - http://d-h.st/QsQ
Open or click twice install.bat
Follow instruction on screen.
Don't forget to allow the pc, to access adb on the phone.
And allow adb shell in superSU.
How to boot the recovery:
Whatever which the recovery you use. Here the way.
Power off the phone. And then turn it on.
Wait until the pink LED is shown.
Press the vol up button, 1 second after the pink LED is shown.
Then the phone should boot to the recovery.
Mini FAQ:
Q: the phone not shown the pink LED
A: please check this files are in the right folder/directory.
/system/xbin/busybox
/system/bin/recovery.tar
/system/bin/recovery.sh
and this's script type file /system/bin/e2fsck
the original file is renamed to /system/bin/e2fsck.bin
This method is for PhilZ Touch or Stock CWM 6.0.4.9? I see in this thread.. Can we try this to Xperia M Dual? Because XMD have PhilZ Recovery now.. Thanks in advance..
Sorry For My Bad English :fingers-crossed:
Maybe the problem of it not running stems from /mnt/idd and /SDCard (External), I'm suggesting this because I cannot find them on the partion listing of my device. Or maybe that's just me being an idiot.
Just been looking through the init.qcom.sh file in the recovery.tar folder and I have found it asks for "baseband='cat ro.baseband'", however the closest I can get to that is ro.si.version.sw_revision.
Have you changed the mountpoints about accordingly in the .fstab files in the recovery.tar /etc/ folder? That could also be another reason.
Also, take a look at the default.prop in the recovery.tar folder, that has all the Xperia L specs and stuff in it.

Hi Bro.
I thinks its only output some error if the partition is not found, and continue the batch process anyway.
I was compared the init.qcom.sh file with same file from Xperia L,and i found the different only in line like this
Code:
from xperia m cwm
chmod -h 775 /data/system/sensors
from cwm xperia L
chmod 775 /data/system/sensors
and some more line contain chmod command
In Linux "chmod -h" mean will print the help page of that command.
Please let me clear this, the recovery.tar file is taken from stock CWM for xperia M single, not from xperia L.
And of course the mountpoint is correct according to partition in xperia M.
And about the default.prop file its same with stock cwm for xperia M, please take alook into it.
Thanks for your reply
Code:
Note:
I must clear its, the recovery.tar file is taken from Working CWM that currently used by many kernel for xperia M single.

Btw i do this project is for users who have locked bootlader permanently, and of course not all user adb friendly.

Just had a look at the files you have attached and I think it is the .fstab files what need editing properly to get it into a bootable state. However I am unsure so don't assume I am right.

1) Remove all unique properties to Pac ROM & any other custom ROM information.
2) Remove any values to the properties what contain Pac ROM and custom ROM values (possibly populating them with stock values?).
3) Get the original default.prop from the firmware we want to use and insert that into the recovery.tar instead (I don't think this will work as the one I found on my device is hardly populated).
If anything a mixture of all three may be appropriate.

Does it boot at all? If it still boots at least that's something.

You're asking for troubles guys.
First of all, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not experienced with fastboot yet. You have root and rom with busybox, regardless if stock or not. Isn't it possible to simply just flash proper boot.img in kernel block? Bootloader is required to use fastboot and flash unsigned images, by using root in the ROM you're not touching bootloader at all. And including custom recovery in stock boot.img is pretty damn easy.
Second thing, you're trying to do potentially dangerous thing. Dangerous as hell, this can lead to pretty serious filesystem corruptions, as lazy unmounting (umount -l) is never safe. I have knowledge about what you're trying to do, as I included pocket debian in my ArchiDroid since ages and it also uses chroot capability, but it extends android, not trying to hack it and run remote code. Killing services, unmounting filesystems and patching things is not proper thing to do.

I have added a debug code to e2fsck.sh and recovery.sh, just to make sure all command are execute and see the output if there something wrong.
The result of e2fsck.sh is there not something wrong its just run as is must.
And same with recovery.sh it run ok to the end off the script, chroot command.
After chroot command i cant make the log.
Maybe this recovery will run on stock JB 4.2 like in Xperia L.

You're asking for troubles guys.
First of all, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not experienced with fastboot yet. You have root and rom with busybox, regardless if stock or not. Isn't it possible to simply just flash proper boot.img in kernel block? Bootloader is required to use fastboot and flash unsigned images, by using root in the ROM you're not touching bootloader at all. And including custom recovery in stock boot.img is pretty damn easy.
Second thing, you're trying to do potentially dangerous thing. Dangerous as hell, this can lead to pretty serious filesystem corruptions, as lazy unmounting (umount -l) is never safe. I have knowledge about what you're trying to do, as I included pocket debian in my ArchiDroid since ages and it also uses chroot capability, but it extends android, not trying to hack it and run remote code. Killing services, unmounting filesystems and patching things is not proper thing to do.

Please... read my OP carefully.
I see @Rachit Rawat and @[Nut} have successfully add recovery to stock rom Jb 4.2 for xperia L and Xperia Z too with locked bootloader condition.
May i try to explain, with this method we just hijack the boot process of stock kernel, stock ramdisk to boot our custom boot script to launch the recovery. just like that. and about the unmout -l (lazy unmout) its to unmount every mountpoint that was mounted by original ramdisk so before the recovery launch its clean from mountpoint of original ramdisk.
Please check @Rachit Rawat thread here

You didn't deodex it, that's the issue. Although I haven't tested, putting this APK (that I got from 30.2.x.0.110 FW then deodexed it) on /system/app/EngineerMode is probably enough to get it working again on 1.21 firmware.
