How did you install CWM? I have relocked my bootloader, I have stock kernel, stock ROM and I can access CWM without problems.
Turn your phone on, when Sony Ericsson text appears and screen goes brighter, start clicking volume down button, it will then enter. If it doesn't enter, you do not have CWM installed.
If your phone gets stuck on boot, then there is problem either with your ROM or kernel.

Ok as you can gwt into recovery you can try flashing some custom ROM.. Make sure after flashing the ROM with the recovery you make a complete wipe .. Then you'l get a normal boot.. After that try to connect to SEUS ..it will be detected..

[Q] how to reboot CWM in Xperia mini ??

Hi evrery body
I bought Xperia mini today and i want to update in ICS
i have 2 quastion!!
1- which file i have to download .. there are many thread and i dont know which is necassary 4me???
2- how i reboot in cwm ?? plz helpppppppppp
What file do you want to download and from where?
Install CWM, turn off phone, then turn it on and when the Sony or Sony Ericsson logo appears, press volume down many times, until a menu appears.
Just simply update your phone using SEUS (SonyEricsson Update Service). Just download it and follow the steps.
Its always work to update.
Don't forget, if it's help, simply click Thanks too :beer::beer:

For 2nd questions, you need to root your phone. Do you ever heard about how to root sk17i?
If you have rooted your phone, just download CWM installer from market, install it, open, and install clockworld mode. After you installed it, theres a menu to reboot your phone into cwm mode.
Feel free to ask more if you find difficulties.

If I have got you right, after you installing the custom ROM, without flashing the necessary kernel and without unlocking bootloader, (which is totally wrong) your phone gets stuck on the SONY logo screen right?
The solution now is to, calm down first, read the posts made here properly(I say this because you were told to unlock bootloader and to flash the necessary kernel before installing the custom ROM by a XDA member on this thread itself, but you did none of those) turn off your phone, and use flashtool to do a full flash of your phone.
Download the .ftf of your phone, ICS or GB, whichever, then flash your phone using that ,ftf file via flashtool, then follow the tutorials available here on XDA to root your phone (The tutorials differ for ICS and GB), root your phone, start it, download and install 'Xperia CWM auto installer' from the market, then install CWM using this app.
Then unlock your bootloader using the various methods available but be aware of the warranty issues involved.
Then flash the necessary kernel on your phone, there's a tutorial for this too on XDA, then start your phone, when the SONY logo brightens keep pressing the volume down key repeatedly and you will enter CWM.
Then follow the instructions on the thread from where you have downloaded the ROM you want to install and then reboot.
Voila.. you are on custom ROM of your choice my friend..
I have tried to make this as simple as possible, but if you still need more help, feel free to ask.
NOTE: Do not flash custom kernels without unlocking bootloader.

[SOLVED][HELP] Xperia Mini Bootloop

Hello guys,
I was trying to flash Aeon Xperia S Lockscreen, and after flashing i got bootloop. What shall I do? Should i use:
6. Turning the "brick" into a smartphone
If you had unlocked bootloader and did OTA(Over the Air) update, then you probably ended up with a dead phone, aka brick. Don't worry, it is not completely bricked, still can be saved!
Download UnbrickingXperia2011.zip file from this post below.
Unpack the .zip file and place the .ftf file in Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool.
Get your phone to flashmode, make sure it is turned off, press down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable.
In Flashtool, click the lightning button, pick Flashmode and choose the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.
Let Flashtool finish.
Install stock firmware and kernel to your phone.
Remove USB cable from your phone and start your phone.
Try not to brick it again, less problems for you.
Method or something else, because i can't boot recovery because I need to reboot to recovery mode. PLEASE HELP!!!
Are u on UL bootloader. If yes then just flash any other kernel from my signature . Recovery comes with it and flash the custom ROM from the recovery...
if u had made a backup before flashing the lockscreen zip u could have restored from that !! this is exactly why u should make a bckup in recovery before messing with your phone.. the point is always mentioned by the developers in all their works and still we ignore it.

if u are getting bootloop it means u have not bricked ur phone. use flashtool to flash old firmware . this will restore your stock ROM and BB. but ur apps and data will be lost. then u can use xparts app from play to install CWM

Can I use PCC or SUS to repair it?
And yes, I have CWM installed using xparts, but only way to get to CWM is from phone, using "Reboot to Recovery" option. Or is there another way?

Yes you will loose root with both methods and your data will be lost...
Are you sure, if you boot phone up and while booting yourpress volume down again and again, you don't come in cwm?

[SOLVED] Stuck at boot screen, and can't access recovery menu

Hi. I encountered a problem which I didn't manage to find solution after do a lot of googling.
Recently I mistakenly flashed a custom ROM which is for unlocked bootloader, and my phone bootloader is locked. When I turn on the phone, it stuck at boot screen and I cannot proceed to CWM. Did this several time but still failed to boot into recovery. How do I fix this problem?
My phone is SE LWW WT19i
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Flash stock ftf via flashtool. It will work
Best Regards,
AJ
your recovery was installed to system partition and it has been wiped through the rom installaion process

To avoid it next time u can unlock ur bootloader. And flash a custom kernel ( almost all have recovery). Then if you wipe system, ul still have recovery.
Don't forget to hit thanks

What do you want to do with your phone? Since you've unlocked the bootloader i suppose you want a custom kernel on it... just flash that, it will have cwm included, no need to mess with that on stock kernel.

Hijack is probably not working correctly or the system partition is screwed up. Re-flash the phone with the stock ROM and then re-root it and re-install CWM recovery.
