[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
This is a CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.7 Touch Recovery for Xperia Z1

Credits and special thanks to Koush and everyone else involved in Cyanogenmod project!​

[ info ]

This recovery is built from CWM Recovery 6.0.4.7 sources and is integrated into stock kernel... I call this an advanced stock kernel with recovery!

the core kernel (zImage) is exactly the same as the one supplied by Sony for that particular firmware... only the ramdisk is changed to add recovery and other features!
