Rooted the phone using flashtool, then installed clockworkmod recovery using Xperia CWM-Auto. Flashed HYBROM 16, and then lost root access as well the recovery. Any Advice on how to get root acces back?
maybe u take a wrong step.
never heard such problem.
u should use custom kernel with root n cwm feature like rage kernel, x kernel, etc....
just try it again from beginning.

Hybrom requires custom kernel, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel or Kernel by bbooff.
These kernels already include Recovery also.
And that ROM already has root access.

Yup..u should install custom kernel..
My advice go for bbooff kernel if u want to install Hybrom..
to check whether u have root access or not just check the superuser app in ur phone..

I have the stock kernel without root. And I buy my st15 since a week and I have a question because I'm confused.. When I flash a kernel that says " root and cwm" it mean that I have root permission to flash rooms? I don't need more?
Ahh.. Other question. With the rooted kernel in my phone I only need install the superuser to use apps that requires root access?
Excuse me for my bad English.. And thanks for your answers!
Since you are using stock kernel, u can use zergrush method to root.
but if u want to flash custom roms, u need to flash custom kernel. Almost all custom kernels are pre rooted and have clockwork mod. u need to unlock your bootloader to flash custom kernels.
the superuser app get installed by default when rooted.

ok. but my question is: I only need the bl unlocked and a kernel with cwm and root to flash a Rom? ( exactly the fxp cm9!)
You need to understand a couple of things about ROMs and Kernels.
Unlocked bootloader, lets your device get into "bootloader mode", giving you the privilege to install a custom made Kernel. Some kernels (most) come prerooted, which means that no matter what Rom you install, whether it is stock, or custom or whatnot.
Root gives you the ability to read, write, and execute apps and files that are in the /system folder.
Think of it as layers of a cake. Bootloader -> Kernel -> Rom -> Root

Not only /system folder, but everything else also, that is in / folder, that is the root folder. You get access to the root folder, folder before system.
thanks a lot! I go to do these steps with the fxp kernel for cm9!

HI,
I have an xperia sola and I want to install CWM in it. I have unlocked the bootloader and its on ICS stock and its rooted.
The problem is I heard you can't install CWM in SOLA unless you have a custom kernel installed. Is it true. Is there any way to install custom rom without having CWM

I am using Stock kernel. NO, I haven't used it as many said you can't use cwm unless you have a custom kernel
Hey guys long ago I rooted my xperia mini pro and put CM 9 or 10 then I went back on Stock then again i put some radom kernel and and rom, then i wanted to put a rom here from te forum but when I put the kernel and try to go to recovery it wouldn't start the recovery the screen is just black
So i went back to stock !
now my question is how do I root again X_X
and how do I put CMW reocvery, because I want to put this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220537
maybe you can find here what you search
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842366
and 4.1.2 is not ICS its JB
Since u tried cm, I am sure ur bootloader is unlocked.
So the easy way to root now would be to flash any custom kernel. It will be prerooted.
If you still want ti retain the rooted stock rom
Flash kernel and flash stock excluding kernel
Or flash stock and then flash kernel

Yes most (I believe all) custom kernels will have cwm ( or twrp,) so yes.
Try goin to dev section and find the list of kernels in stickies and find a jb kernel.

I finally managed to flash Nemesis Kernel along with an ICS based Rom, my bootloader is unlocked and this whole time i presumed I was rooted. A few minutes ago I I wanted to download a root based app to change some governors however it turns out i'm not rooted..
Can I carry out the root process while using a custom kernel and rom or would I have to flash back to stock all over again, root and then flash everything back?

Hello guys..
I have one problem..

Do you have any idea for work?
My phone is neo v(MT11i),root,4.1.b.0.587,stock kernel,4.0.4 and xparts do only reboot without recovery
Try flashing vengeance kernel
I guess you flashed stock kernel after installing ulitmate hd 5.0, try flashing vengeance kernel to get into cwm recovery...
Good luck...:good:

No bro,i rooted,later flash kernel and after i build ultimate hd..
Do you know how to unistall custom rom without lose root and kernel?
restore is the only option I know
If you 1. have taken a backup and 2. have the kernel image<boot.img> you want on your device, then you can 1. flash a kernel with cwm<vengeance kernel for mt11i>, 2. restore the backup and 3. flash the required kernel<boot.img>.
