Recovery Manager for Xperia™

Replace the boring CWM with TWRP or PhilzTouch Recovery on your Xperia.
Almost all custom kernels and ROMs have the "extract_elf_ramdisk" method embedded in them which allows flashing a recovery.img to the FOTAKernel partition and using this recovery instead of the recovery that comes inside the kernel.Since most CM/AOKP/PA ROMs come with CWM in the default kernel, it is really helpful in having TWRP or Philz-Touch Recovery on the FOTAKernel.Another big advantage is, even if the recovery inside the kernel is broken, The FOTAKernel recovery will continue to work.

***NOTE******Only for Xperia users using custom ROMs/kernels.******Works only on rooted and bootloader unlocked phones******SUPPORTED DEVICES***Xperia Z2Xperia Z1 compactXperia Z UltraXperia Z1Xperia ZRXperia ZXperia ZLXperia Tablet Z (both LTE & WiFi models)Xperia TXperia VXperia SP

Won't work on my Xperia Z - it will not download any recovery, the download arrow just flashes. I have Xenon custom rom.

I ran into a issue while trying to use & the developer went out of his way to help me use this APP so I could avoid further issues. It's nice to have an APP like this that makes flashing a recovery easy. Philz worked Perfectly, thank you

You can get latest recovery image from XDA Huashan and then paste that image to internal>twrpmanager and remove other images and goto app and goto the type of image you pasted twrp or cwm or philz and flash that's it boot and keep pressing vol up or down as soon Sony logo appears welcome you are in recovery now

This is worth every cent of your money. If you have a Sony and like to flush roms through recovery then this is your best answer.

Used this app to install TWRP on my Xperia V. Very straightforward and easy to use interface. I contacted developer after initially having problems downloading img file and he fixed the issue straight away! Very responsive...thank you.

I used in my xperia sp very easily after rooting my phone. Couldn't find anything good until this came out. Good friendly ui and works flawlessly.

Was downloading TWRP but I keeps on getting a unsuccessful download. I'm on xperia v and my internet is stable.

Downloaded TWRP, and the app crashed. Then I restarted the app, and it flashed correctly.

Works as advertised... tho I did download the latest TWRP myself which was newer than the one the app supplied... changed its name and dropped it in the Apps folder and flashed! Worked a treat... heh heh.

Worked perfectly on the Tablet Z to install a non-godawful recovery on CM12 Lollipop

Works great with a lt25i with unlocked bootloader and rooted.

Worked on CM12 lollipop rom. Didn't install the latest version of TWRP, but still got it installed!

What about Sony Xperia lt26

Bal. E. May 28, 2017     

It works.

A. G. u. May 3, 2014     

EDIT: May 2nd 2014 almost 3 months hence..same problem exists. Download recovery image..flash..go to recovery...all 0MB folders.. (PAC ROM, CARBON, AICP, AOKP, liquid rom.all same results on ultra z c6833 togari) Posted on xda message board to developer..no replies. private message PM to developer..no replies. From Feb 2014: I had Kitkat 4.4 custom ROM installed with CWM recovery. I installed this and installed TWRP recovery and flashed it. Now when I go into TWRP I do not see any storage (0 MB) and cannot even see to select the internal storage. All I see are /su /root /etc folders. I cannot even boot back and ask for a refund. Although the biggest thing of concern now is how to get to see the internal storage or even boot back to what I had. (had AICP Kitkat for Xperia Ultra Z) All folders it lists are empty. The only options I saw in the start screen were download the TWRP image and flash the TWRP image (both of which I did and rebooted to get to recovery and now am stuck) EDIT manually fastboot flashed custom kernel with tWRP to see my files and backups..will request refund although way beyond 15 min period (could not get phone to reboot anyway)
