[Sony Xperia L] Amirxon:

[Sony Xperia L] corphish:

[Sony Xperia L] Amirxon:

[Sony Xperia L] Amirxon:
recovery installer stock 4.2.2 works with ul/l bootloader :o
[Sony Xperia L] NaveenKumarXDA:
Why I am not able to install recovery in C2104 via app?

Have root but locked Boot-loader on Stock 4.2.2. Any other way to do it without Computer
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
did you granted root for sure? did you tested your root acess with rootchecker?

can you explain what happens if xou try to do it?
[Sony Xperia L] NaveenKumarXDA:
Yes Root access given. I click download it downloads recovery then ask me to install it. On permitting, Device gets restarted & android boots. Now, when I open Recovery installer, Shows recovery installed.

But recovery is still Stock & aroma boots into stock recovery. Am I supposed to do something else or anything missing to do?
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
When device boots, at the time you see Sony Logo. Blue LED glows. When it glows, press either volume up or volume down keys to reboot to installed recovery.

For Stock, FOTAPartition is untouched and a different method is used to install recovery.
[Sony Xperia L] Amirxon:
if at first you don't succeed,you have to remove the remnants of the program from the SD card and re download and install.Need fast Internet
[Sony Xperia L] NaveenKumarXDA:
Thanks but No need. I can boot into custom recovery via Button press when blue light blink.

Thanks. That did the trick. I didn't know, had recovery installed. Now I can just boot into custom recovery via button press. Finally Device free from SONY. Its mine Now. :)

Great work man. Thanks to OP & others for freeing this device.

.

One more thing : Can I flash cm12 or slimkat custom roms via this recovery? is there any issue with this method?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
you need to unlock your bootloader first!
[Sony Xperia L] NaveenKumarXDA:
For unlocking bootloader, I will need a windows access. BTW then what is the actual benefit of Custom recovery ? isn't custom recovery enough for flashing Roms!!
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
with a custom recovery you can flash several things... like xposed... but without unlocking bootloader you cant flash a new rom
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
Cannibal open Touch is now known as Carbon Recovery :)

first stable build!
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Nice! Can you tell me the advantages of this recovery pls?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
not much... this recovery is REALLY new and ia still in his child phase.... its like Philz touch (will be the scuessor i guess )

i still recommend twrp :) this is just to give an alternative recovery ^^ so you are not "bind to use twrp"
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Hey guys. I just ran the app and installed TWRP on the latest stock rom, but I can't enter it.

I turn on the phone, the blue light turns on, I hold the volume down button, and it stays at the sony logo forever.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
you know this only works on latest stockrom ? android 4.2.2 ?
[Sony Xperia L] Amirxon:
I noticed that if the first time failed,we will succeed the second time.Remove residue from the SD card and try again.
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Yeah, I know.

That worked. I did read the thread, but I had to do it 3 times to get it working.
[Sony Xperia L] Amirxon:
Well that works.You do not know,I when charging also won't go into recovery,it just gets stuck on the splash screen Sony.It doesn't matter,but it can be useful to the developers
[Sony Xperia L] NaveenKumarXDA:
Just unlocked bootloader.

On installing recovery still i am not able to flash roms like slimkat etc. Even stryder stock based stucking in sony logo after flash.

How can i install roms successfully so not to stuck on boot sony logo.

Any solution for this?
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Huh, something strange is happening ever since I flashed a recovery through this app.

I restored to stock, rooted it, ran this tool, installed TWRP, ran it..and started installing the FXP CM 11 ROM. Then I'm met with an error - error number 7; something about the updater script. I've tried Omni and I get the same error there.

Do I need to edit some file first? I want to get Kitkat...
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
To flash Kitkat ROMs or ROMs based on higher android version, you need SELinux enabled recovery. The TWRP installed from the app is not SELinux enabled I think.

You need to flash the boot.img that comes within the ROM.zip using fastboot/flashtool, then enter into recovery and flash it.
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
**** **** **** **** **** ****

i can"t go into recovery, and my phone can't go in flashmode.

What do i ****ing do?

I installed fxp cm 11, then installed your app, then installed 4.16, and then decided to go back to 4.13.

Now my phone's screen is black and i can't even get to the recovery. I tried flashmode flashing - i hold the down button while connecting and my pc won't detect the phone.

Help i think my device is bricked

___________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT:

I needed to remove the battery for a minute or so. I'm currently flashing. Sorry dev for blaming you on this one. I'm a little new with this, sorry...

I did it with installing CWM from rachitrawat. That's how it worked.

Whew...
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
Hi all,

Recovery Installer app has been made available on XDA Labs.

For those who do not know, XDA Labs is the official app from XDA, which is not only a forum app, but also an App Store and Xposed Modules repo.

Although its in alpha stage, it works very well when it comes to app store. You can read more about it and download the app from here.

Also, a donate version of the app has been made available, for those who really like my work and want to support it.

Do note that, Recovery Installer is and will be free, open-sourced and ad-free, you can enjoy each and every feature of the app in the free version, however, for those who really like my work, can get the donate version to show their support.

Further releases will be made available both on my site (free only, ofcourse :p) and in XDA Labs (both free and donate version).

I would also, love to publish the app on Google Play Store, but as of now I do not meet the requirements to have a Google Developer Account, which is necessary for publishing apps to Play Store.

Hope to get some support.

Thanks,
[Sony Xperia L] Amr5121:
what if i cant access to internet with my phone? are there any offline version?
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:
Yes.

Recoveries can be installed offline, once they are locally downloaded.

It means that, for atleast once you need to go online to download the recoveries on your phone, then you can install it offline anytime.

If, in anyway, internet connection is not possible on your phone, you can ask SdtBarbarossa for the download link, download it and put it in sdcard/ and rename the file to fota<recovery name>.img (For TWRP, it will be fotatwrp.img)
[Sony Xperia L] HudanAchmad:
the app and the recovery installed but i cant enter it on fw 17 , ?
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
OP, if I convert the file system to F2FS (from the recovery), will it go back to ext4 or whatever it was once I flash stock via Flashtool? Oh, and also, do I have to reflash the rom once I convert, or a reboot is all it takes? Sorry for all those questions, mate.

Try installing it again. Bugs happen. Oh, and by the way, don't update your busybox; the recovery will stop working.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
the first alpha for adoptable storage is now available (only use it with cm13 )
[Sony Xperia L] arun2105:
Hey dere. I wana know step by step procedure for Installing CWM/TWRP recovery on my Xperia L without a PC. m so badly pissed off as I don have a lappy to use ADB sideload n all. and which is a better ROM as of now for Xperia L. Love u for all for showing interest in customizing yo mobiles. Tq in advance
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
use towelroot to root your phone... then use supersu to install su binary... then use this app
[Sony Xperia L] arun2105:
Sorry to ask. but which app??
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
lol he means this Fota Recovery app :D
[Sony Xperia L] arun2105:
But I the link says 404 error. Wic mean not found!! Wat do I do now??
[Sony Xperia L] recoman:
Not working JB 4.2.2 .

someone tell me boot.img file ( CWM OR TEAMWIN)

THX
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
OP, I noticed something really, really tiny, but it still bugs me. The splash screen shows that the version installed is one version older (During installation, it shows that it's 2.8.8.3, but the splash screen shows 2.8.8.2)

Oh, and one more thing; do I need to install something else to convert to F2FS? I ran the conversion process and there were some errors in the end (sorry, but I don't know exactly what they said; it said something about the ext_2 and external SD card - which I don't have and I didn't pick to convert.) I converted /system, /data, and /cache.

How do I confirm that I'm using F2FS?

Download it from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086995218

You need to be connected to the internet (on the phone) so it downloads it.

You could also use http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/orig-development/cwm-recovery-installer-t2589320 - the recoveries it installs are the same, although you must connect your phone to your computer.
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Okay, still trying to figure out how to do that translation thing on the repo... I will reply when I'm done.

[Sony Xperia L] MartySchellman:
First and foremost, thank you so much for this great utility!

It works absolutely flawless.

One question (and please bear with me if it had already been asked): Is there a timeframe for the maintained TWRP recovery to reach version 3.0.0-0, which is already officially available for taoshan?

I still cannot post outside bound links, but you'll surely know where to find the official release. ;)

Thanks for any info!
[Sony Xperia L] corphish:

[Sony Xperia L] MetalPriest:
I just installed CWM using this on Resurrection Remix for MM and it installed. When I restart and press volume down, it goes to Cyanogen Recovery. If I click on Reboot to recovery from that, it reboots to CWM. Why does this happen?

Also, when I'm inside CWM and try to wipe cache, I get "E:Can't open /cache/recover/log". Please help.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
press Volumen UP not down
[Sony Xperia L] MetalPriest:
Is there a work around for this. It usuallly used to be Volume down. My Volume up button doesnt work.

Also, what about the error message ""E:Can't open /cache/recover/log""?
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
You can directly boot into recovery on your phone or from adb.
[Sony Xperia L] MetalPriest:
Thanks man. Anything on the error?
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
If you wipe /Cache you delete the recovery log.... thats why the error comes.... so ignore it
[Sony Xperia L] MetalPriest:
But I get the error when I try to install a ROM. So because of that I'm unable to flash anything

Edit: This is in CWM installed using this installer
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
The Error you posted has NOTHING to do with flashing roms.... your mistake must be another one
[Sony Xperia L] alexchandra:
I'm trying to flash TWRP from the app, but when I click on TWRP (which is showing 2.8.7.2.3 as the latest version available), it says "Downloading" for a few seconds, then it changes into "Error"..

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

What's the latest flashable version of TWRP and does anyone have a URL to download it from another source?

Is the official TWRP 3.0.2.0 from https:**dl*twrp*me/taoshan/ safe to flash using Recovery Installer?

Thanks! :)
[Sony Xperia L] NaveenKumarXDA:
Same for me too :( says "Downloading" few seconds before changing into "Error"..

Seems some kind of server or link issue .

[Sony Xperia L] EthanAs:
Hello. I already asked this under a custom ROM thread but I guess this place is more appropriate. I'm trying to flash custom recovery on a rooted XL with an unlocked bootloader, on stock rom. I tried all options available on Recovery Installer, as well as the desktop version and had no results. Flashing and rebooting within the app will simply reboot the phone without entering recovery, while volup/down when the blue light flashes will lead to the phone being stuck on the Sony screen. Entering recovery via adb will get me to the Android System Recovery <3e>.

Resolved after wiping cache/data, reflashing stock and pressing down on blue flashing.
[Sony Xperia L] DizXDA83:
hi there... i've been trying to install the latest version of TWRP (3.0.2.0) but without sucess.... I've version 2.8.7.0 and i'am on stock rom... I want to upgrade to MM rom but i want to install latest TWRP version... but i can't... Tried by TWRP Manager, Flashify, comand on terminal, RASHR and this recovery app and nothing... It flashes the img file but on boot it always go to 2.8.7.0 version...

Something i'am doing wrong? is it a kernel issue?? if it's ok i guess i can flash a custom rom first right??
[Sony Xperia L] newguyknowsnothing:
Why dont you try flashing MM roms with twrp 2.8.7.0? As far as I know the recovery installed from the app "recoveries installer" will be installed to fota partition, which can not be removed when you change kernel, rom. The only way to get rid of it after installing it is to flash stock rom(or stock kernel) using flashtool, I believe
[Sony Xperia L] grrrf:
great !!!

Thanks allot, fine tool :o
[Sony Xperia L] suleman14:
after installation of custom recoveries, it does not reboot in recovery plz help
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
What does it say after you choose a recovery?
[Sony Xperia L] suleman14:
it just reboots to The OS
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
When the purple red appears, press VolumeUp and tell me if it boots into the recovery you flashed or just into CWM
[Sony Xperia L] suleman14:
I tried that too, but it doesn't boot inro custom recovery. Boot menu.
[Sony Xperia L] Rocooc88:
Yes
[Sony Xperia L] d1021979:
intalled the app, open, root yes, granted, but can not download when i click them, please help.
[Sony Xperia L] stuckbootloader:
Try using https://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/orig-development/cwm-recovery-installer-t2589320 instead.

Oh, and install CWM from there. The recoveries installed by that tool are pretty much the same as offered by this app - it's just installed through a computer.

You should be able to flash most zips afterwards.

Anyway, what are you planning on doing after you install that recovery? If you're staying on the stock ROM, it should suffice, but if you're going to install a ROM... well, there are some things to do.
[Sony Xperia L] jhongjhong123:
Hi,

After rooting my phone (4.2.2, 15.3.A.1.17) and unlocked its bootloader, I tried to use this app. But somehow it installs TWRP 2.7.1.0.

I can't find another way to install a higher version of TWRP (2.8 or 3.0.2). Did I miss something in the process? :confused:
[Sony Xperia L] xleng:
Using a spare device, previously running TWRP 2.8.x and CM 13, I wanted to upgrade to TWRP 3.x and Lineage OS 14.1.

I started to download the TWRP image from the official website, and tried to update TWRP using the recovery method (install image to recovery), which FAILED.

Somewhere on XDA, afterwards I read that only the Tool from Corphish / StdBarbarossa should be used.

I tried to retrieve a new recovery by the recovery installer tool v1.4, but unfortunately it reports "error", when I try to download a recovery.

Does anyone have an idea what happened, and how I could execute the same commands which are issued by the recovery installer?

Right now, the primary recovery is broken, though the standard CM recovery seems to be present in the boot partition I believe, but of course is not sufficient to flash new ROMs. The CM 13.0 is still fully functional, e.g. allowing to install a new recovery in app mode.

Many thanks in advance,

Henning
[Sony Xperia L] xleng:
The above question is more or less solved.

TWRP v3.x installation was successful with twrp-3.0.2-0-taoshan.img (tested on a Xperia L using an existing TWRP recovery -> install image to recovery), while it failed for me using twrp-3.1.1-0-taoshan.img.

For more details, please see other thread on the TWRP 3.1.1.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbux:
Hi guys,

I tried almost every Lollipop ROMs available, they are either buggy or doesn't provide a great battery life which I care about a lot since this is my primary device. Definitely KK [pa ROM] battery life is way better than LP. So decided to go back, but I have the problem where almost 186 apps I have to install it manually since the auto restore doesn't work in KK properly. Is there a way to batch install the apps from the backup without all those install prompts so that I don't want to press install 186 times? These are the ways already tried,

1. Tools from XDA -- Doesn't install every apk, it says some are 'Invalid APKs' while I can install it manually without any problems.

2. Terminal Emulator - Can I even batch install with it?

Please let me know if any method available. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slst:
seriously looking for the same. Anyone please tell me to do this. Im trying to do this using terminal emulator.

Trying below command

pm install apkname.apk from terminal from the apk folder but its giving invalid uri.

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

You can use system app remover. It worked great in kitkat...... and if possible use marshmallow its yielding great battery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
The correct terminal commands:

cd YourApkBackupDirectory

install -D -m 644 Name.apk /data/app/Name/base.apk

Pack these commands into a usual shell. You also can install all apk's of one directory by wildcards.

Some apps create another directory-name in /data/app. Idk, whether it matters.

After installing go to recovery, wipe both caches and reboot.

And maybe simplefy all the funktions.
