I cannot find place to type.
It is very possible that the volume up key does the job.
the volume up key doesn't seem to work... any ideas why is it?

Do you mean that it doesn't work when the device has loaded android?
If yes, then reflash the official kernel and see if the problem persisits.
If the problem persists then it is very possible that you have a hardware failure...
If you have flashed my kernel and you mean that you cannot enter CWM by pressing volume up, just press the power on-off key once or two, when the (white)
se logo turns brighter and you will enter CWM.
i mean, i cant get into fastboot mode by clicking the volume up key so i cant flash any rooms
think that i had unlocked the bootloadrer i used the test point method with s1tool( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1285285 ) it didn't gave me any error message, it looked like it worked fine, tried volume up volume down even the home button and various combinations of it... the volume buttons load the CWM and if i restart holding the volume up key it boots into charging mode...

I can't understand a few things about your case.
Have you already flashed my kernel?
What version of CWM are you running?
To enter fastboot mode you have to connect the usb cable to your device,hold the volume up key and connect the usb cable to your computer.Then the led light turns blue...
i didn't flashed the kernel because i can't boot into fastboot mode, maybe because the test point method with s1tool didn't unlocked the bootloader, but it looked like it did?
i am using the cwm version 5.0.2.7

You can enter fastboot mode, even if your bootloader is locked.You can't install custom kernel though.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to service info, go to Configuration submenu and check the status of your bootloader.
If the text under rooting status is:
Bootloader unlocked:Yes
then your bootloader is unlocked.
If the text is:
Bootloader unlock allowed:yes
then the bootloader is still locked.
About getting in fastboot mode now.Try searching the web on how wt19i gets into fastboot mode.
Visit this page also:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
mine says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
saw somewhere that it means that the bootloader is unlocked?
the only 2 methods that i can find for booting into fastmode is the volume up key method mekes it go into charging mode (it shows sony ericson on the screen as usual then it shows up a battery with a power logo in the middle)and i saw someone say that he entered fastboote by holding volume up + home key and connecting it to the pc, both didn't worked?

Try visiting this page and read carefully the second step:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
Your bootloader is still locked and cannot be unlocked.
Sorry...
This method also work with 4.0.2.A.0.62 version.

Just got a replacement phone from Sprint and have activated it.
Wanted to do a simple HTCDev.com unlock for the ability to do a few things that require root..
From being powered off, I hold down the Down Volume and them press and hold the Power button but that doesn't work... The three icons (buttonless buttons) flash a number of times but no matter how long I hold down those two buttons, the phone won't boot into the bootloader.
And YES, FASTBOOT is unchecked ....
Any ideas? I've rooted a number of phones and it's usually the 'hold down the down volume + power' until it boots into the bootloader...
Not this one...
HELP!
Turn off fastboot in settings and if you still can't, use adb tools or sdk and type adb reboot bootloader

Thanks for telling ! I had been looking for this information for a long time.
Apparently, my service info says "bootloader unlock allowed: yes", I wonder if it means that I actually unlocked it or that the device would accept me to do it.
I moreover wonder how one can manage to install CM or root its device without using Recovery Mode. I saw on your signature you rooted your device. May I ask how you did that ?

It means your bootloader CAN BE unlocked.
To install a ROM, such as CM, you first unlock your bootloader, then move the ROM zip to your device. After that, you flash the included kernel from the zip with fastboot. Then, you boot into the included recovery from the kernel and flash the whole ROM.

I finally found a solution to my problem : I unlocked the device using flashtool-0.9.11's gui procedure, instead of flashtool's fastboot. It succeeded and I can successfully flash anything I want on the device.
I found your rational approach to my problem useful. It helped me isolate a solution. Thanks !

Root and recovery are two different things.
To have recovery you need to install one, for locked bootloader I assume.

If you're on nemesis kernel, press power button several time, if you're using CWM for locked bootloader, press volume down key for several time until u saw the recovery!

There is no recovery built-in Sony stock kernel, as I said you will have to install one, either recovery for unlocked bootloader, or flash a custom kernel that has one built-in.
So i was trying to revert back stock. i flashed a stock rom removed superuser and then rebooted into bootloader via fasrboot and oem lock.
after that, i now get lg security error #9 modified.
i try recovery but that fails with a secure boot error.
i cant get my pc to detect my phone.... is it gg?
or is there button commands to access bootloader manually on startup?

Recovery:
With the device completely off, press and hold the Power and Volume Down button until you can see the recovery mode displayed on the device’s screen.
Download Mode:
1) Power off the phone.
2) Press and hold the Power Button and Volume Down.
3) While holding the Power and Volume Down buttons, insert the USB cable connected to a windows computer.
4) Continue holding the Power and Volume Down buttons until Download Mode is displayed on the phone, then you can release the buttons and unplug the cable if you wish.
To boot into bootloader manually,you hold vol down and plug a cable in with the device off

And if your flashing ANYTHING with oem lock it will fail instantly boot into bootloader and oem unlock then flash all stock files including recovery then relock and you should be good. Good luck
luckily they just gave me a new phone. o.o
ill save this though, thanks!
i want to enter fastboot mode to unlock bootloader
but i press volume + and plugin usb,it won't blink blue led,it blink green and orange,and nothing happened
help.....
and another problem,isn't you can't unlock bootloader when you already rooted
beucase i success for using boot manager to enter fastboot mode, it blink blue led
The LED should be blue and that's it, so if it shows any other color when you hold VOL UP, then I have no idea what's going on, or what you've previously done to your device.
