FreeXperia Custom Recovery For Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo
Custom recoveries allow you to flash unsigned files based on .zip packages and flash custom ROMs very easily. You have the option to backup your entire ROM as it is, as a complete image so that you can revert back to it incase something goes wrong with a new ROM, or after installing a mod messing your device up. These are some of the core uses and features of a custom recovery. Further options vary from recovery to recovery.
So if you wish to prepare your phone for future custom ROM’s and mods that should hopefully follow soon, here’s what you need.
