Questions & Answers:
Q: Do I need root access to install and use MultiRecovery?
Q: How to disable Sony RIC on Xperia M2?
A: Yes. The root is mandatory. EagleRootTool_20160531 * is my recommendation for a successful completion of these tasks (on Android 5.1.1).
Q: Do I need to 'install' any pre-rooted flashable.zip beforehand?
A: No. This is an optional feature and is there for if and when you’d ever like to try it.
Q: Is it possible to flash any custom ROM?
A: Yes. On unlocked bootloader you can flash a custom kernel with this tool, included.

I'm not responsible for any problems caused by using anything from here, so do it at your own risk!
What about 18.3.1.C.1.13 4.4.4 firmware?
Not tested for now .
Yes, it is tested and works on recent (18.3.1.C.1.13) version.
Edit:
Please note that for proper installation Sony RIC protection must be disabled( the related source code can be found here ) .

The recoveries from first post are assembled and designed to be used on locked bootloader, recent additions of TA and modem partitions is only for backup purposes.
The builds linked here can be used on unlocked devices with stock based Android ROM's.
I test it out my own, but if fail... Can i restore stock? Is this kernel or only recovery?
Edit!
Working and Device succesfully booted up
Working on 18.3.1.C.1.13 4.4.4 firmware
This is an only one fresh compiled PhilZ Touch recovery, you can make and restore backup to your android, e.g. KitKat 4.4 - 18.3.1.C.0.21.
Also you can use PRFCreator to create a pre-rooted stock firmware, and then flash with this recovery.
I hope this will be useful for people who can't unlock their BL for some reason/restriction, but want to have the possibility to use a custom Android recovery.
May try this over the weekend if I get time. Need a recovery on my m2, as currently rooted on 18.1.3.c.0.21 with no recovery. :thumbup:
Installed no problems now have a working recovery thanks:thumbup:
sent from my Rooted B/l 4.4.4 kk Xperia D2303
Works on 18.3.C.0.37

Thank you for your confirmation
Good work bro!! Thanks !
can you show us some roms that we can try plz
Here is a complete log of my backup/restore process, right before I post this thread.
You can try this, or If you like, make one for yourself.
Most of Pre-Rooted firmware created with PRFCreator like this , also can be flashed.
can I use this recovery on unlocked bootloader?

Basically it is made to work with a Locked Bootloader, so that most likely it will not work correctly without some extra work.
Tried this method, not booting into recovery
I can see the Cyan LED, but no there's no effect with all button combinaison....
Hi @NoobZik
The button is the last thing for what you need to worry about.
Can you please post :
Your kernel version.
The method you are using to disable RIC kernel module.
The contents of a log file located at /cache/recovery/last_log right after a failed recovery boot attempt.
p.s.
And if there is still some misunderstanding :
This recovery is for Locked Bootloader

Is not it easier made when the bootloader unlocked?

I've re-Locked before proceeding

Yes, but that was not my goal.
Currently I don't have unlocked Eagle device, so I can't test it for myself.

Assume that you have installed correctly Superuser or SuperSU, and RIC is disabled.
Check if this files exist for you after installation:
Code:
/system/bin/recovery.cpio
/system/bin/e2fsck ( this file should be a script )
/system/bin/e2fsck.bin
/system/bin/recovery.sh
Try reinstall your current busybox with this script.
also can be used to open not boot?
no longer need to be changing the kernel to flash

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices.It provides a touch screen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and backup the current system, which are often unsupported by stock recovery images.It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.

Thanks, I did not think I'd get a reply. While on the topic, can someone suggest the best custom rom with the fewest bugs. About using c1 rom after all these years, it really is for a customer who has a whole lot and needs a higher android version so the newer apps work. FB Team Dev Pop has also been really helpful finding recoveries and roms, tough a lot of the old links are broken as you would expect
Hello guys today I'm here with update for RedWolf recovery for Cool 1 Dual.
This recovery is based on latest TWRP. and Ported from latest RedWolf recovery version from mido.
As all of you know the features about this recovery (mentioned in my previous post), I've added the extra partitions in this version
previous version wasnt having modem,splash and persist. This version supports all of the partitions.
And I have to say that we are not getting that future builds as they cant be ported as they are coming with master password i.e. when i port and boot into recovery its asking for password (which I've never set) and without that we cant enter into recovery :crying: .
Bugs : -
Flashlight broken
Force enabling fast charge dont work (as we dont have kernel support)
You cant enter into any mode directly from recovery (i.e. you cant boot into system or bootloader, every time you select any option it reboot into recovery itself) do a force reboot.
Credits : -
@ATG Droid
@dadi11
for their RedWolf project and
@Smustfa147 for porting (i.e. me )
Procedure : -
Flash the image directly through any installed recovery or any app available on play store
or you can simply rename the file to recovery.img and replace it into QFIL Flashable twrp into recovery folder and flash with the tool
