[Sony Xperia M2] DooMLoRD:
This is a CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.6 Touch Recovery for Xperia M2 (Single SIM)!

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

[ info ]

This Recovery is built from CWM 6.0.4.6 sources!

I dont have this device with me and I dont intend to buy one... a friend wanted root on his phone so I created this to help him out...

all the testing was done remotely on users devices...

I know that there is no device specific forum for this so I have posted thread here in Z2 general section... please move it to the device sub-forum once its created...

P.S: I know that some people think that its no big deal to have recovery/root on unlocked bootloader, and I do agree with that upto certain extent... but now that you have recovery/root you can do a LOT more... just unlocking bootloader wont give you anything!!! devs need to lay the foundations for further development... i have seen so many devices with unlockable bootloader and without root/recovery, but no one bothered to create recovery/root for those users...
