Flash with Cwm recovery, there are guides for it, just search.
Via Tapatalk 2.0 on ICS
Install CWM Recovery first (if you don't already have it) from here
Download the theme
put it in your sd card
boot into recovery (press volume down many times at Sony (Ericsson) logo)
flash .zip
select the theme
reboot
and thats it!
I highly recommend a backup first!

Mine goes to the nAa screen for a couple minutes then restarts and does this over and over. I think I missed a step. I did not format/system/data etc etc and did not get cwm. For some reason I thought I read you only needed to wipe or format if you were coming from another custom kernel. It took me over 4 hours to finally get the root and bootloader part finished.
I have no idea how to mount an sd card or install anything on the sd card. ios brah here so as of yesterday I had never even seen let alone messed with android.
Also confused if I need to load something after the nAa kernel or if it contains jellybean itself. Even the beginners guides seem to assume I am smart enough to know what mounting image or formatting cards means. Please anyone know where I went wrong_? Or maybe a link to a beginners guide my grandma could understand? Thanks and sorry but I have searched and come up short.
It was on this forum. You must use search option and google. Once i can do this for you :click here

Hey guys, I'm basically screwed right now. I deleted many major applications from the /system/apps drawer. I am running Mac 10.5 on my laptop currently and I want to know how do I flash a working ClockworkMod.
I know, there are plenty of threads about this, but none gave me a REAL answer.
I'm on a Mac, So I can't ODIN in. It needs to be done on 2.2 Froyo.
Everytime I instal a CWM, It boots into Android Recovery and When I hit "reinstall packages", It doesnt do anything.
Please, tell me how to flash a working cwm recovery so I can flash another ROM stable for my Vibrant.
Try not to send me links, because I've seen them all. but If you think that link is the one, please show me.
Thanks In advace guys.
Did you do a backup before anything?

Sadly no, Because I didnt have CWM installed.

ok so you can just download the cwm recovery and put it on your sd card and power your phone off then hold volume down and power it should flash the file itself if you cant get to the phone at all other then bootloader try mounting your sd card with another phone or with a micro sd adapter moving the file to the sd and doing what i told you before. that should help..
u might fail signature verification just doing update.zip
i think it should go like :
install odin in windows
flash 2.1
install clockwork
flash whatever u want
cant you use the rom manager from the market to install any fooxx.zip?
Hello, I just updated my SGS2 to 4.0.3 and just finished flashing it, now I want to install a theme and these are the instructions:
REQUIREMENTS:
- U need rom without any themes or mods install, otherwise u will end up in bootloop
- Don't flash it even over my CWM packages, bootloop
- Make a backup just in case before flashing
- If u are installing mods from 2nd post, use only with name UNIVERSAL. CWM packages over universal theme will take u to bootloop again
- Uninstall JKAY deluxe settings app (when u flash theme, latest version will be installed)
- If u have any other mods (like phone with no inc. record.full pic), remove it. U will install it latter
- REMOVE ALL MODs PLEASE. U WILL INSTALL THEM ALL, LATTER
- if u have older version of JKAY APP (JkayDeluxeSettings), please uninstall
- Patience, installation is just little bit longer
-If u still got bootloops, but ur buttons are litenin, take out battery, put it back, power ur phone. Now u should not have any more bootloops and ur theme will be installed correctly
- Download the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file from the download section below and DO NOT unzip it
- Copy the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file to your INTERNAL SD card
- Boot your phone into CWM (hold Vol Up, Home & Power Button)
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Select 'Install ZIP from SD Card'
- Select 'Choose Zip from SD Card'
- Then select the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file you downloaded
- Reboot
- After this you only have to enjoy
The ones I put in BOLD are the ones I am concerned about, because I just finished flashing my phone, does this mean I cant do it, or do NOT flash after installing the theme? And as for mods what type of mods, like Rom Manager SuperSU and Titanium Backup? Just wondering and all because I am new to this, I had installed a nice theme a while back but it was taken off when I updated to 4.0.3, thanks!
If you just flashed stock ICS (not a custom ROM) then you're fine. That would have removed all mods you had anyways.

I flashed it with "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5" and I just installed the theme but it is stuck in bootloop now LOL now what?

That is a CF-Root kernel...
But anyways, try booting to recovery and doing a full wipe. (that may remove the theme you just tried to flash, but I would think you'd rather have a functioning phone...)

Yeah I was afraid I was going to have to do that :'( Now I gotta setup my phone all over again, would Titanium Backup be able to recover everything I backed up with it?
EDIT: I just did that but it is still stuck in bootloop from that dumb theme :'(

Question... you said above you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5". (which is a kernel, not a firmware or ROM)
Did you operate the phone in between doing that and attempting to flash the theme?
What version of 4.0.3 did you flash before you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5"? Or did you?

Yes I was using my phone testing the new ICS and setting up all my apps and stuff since it was all unorganized then I wanted a theme because the base theme sucks so I downloaded this: https://sites.google.com/site/vertumusworld/downloads/Themes/Ice-Cream-Sandwich-Domination I downloaded the very first one mirror 1 after I had the theme I was going to flash my phone so I Googled my phone numbers I had XXLPS so I found a download and flashed it from that and it was working fine rooted then I went to install the theme now it just bootloops :/
OH!!! I just found a restore option from earlier today when I backed up everything with Titanium Backup right before I installed the mod, it is restoring now I hope that works and I wont install any themes LOL not risking this again lets see if it works!
EDIT: Okay I managed to get my phone back to around January and its all working just missing some apps and stuff but now I cant upgrade via Kies? So im just going to do a full wipe now and then upgrade then restore all apps with Titanium Backup, thanks for everything though
Requirement:- (1) Must be a rooted device and CWM recovery should be preinstalled. (2) Must be a 2011 family xperia device.
As we all know that on locked bootloader
or stock kernel whenever we install a new
custom rom through CWM Recovery
generally our Recovery gets wiped and we
have to install recovery again. So
basically this mod will helpful to those
who have locked bootloader or stock
kernel and often changes their roms like
me, whereas on unlocked bootloaders we
generally uses custom kernels which have
built in recovery so it is not so useful for
them. On locked bootloader or stock
kernel the most simplest way to install
recovery is by using XParts app (Thanks
to pvyparts). Using this app is not a
complicated process but it is quite lengthy
process because first you have to
download and install XParts app then it
will download recovery for your handset.
Also this all can't be happened without a
internet connection and sometimes we
don't have a internet connection, so we
have to wait for working internet
connection so that we can install
recovery. One more thing sometimes we
got bootloop after installing a new rom,
then only way to overcome from this
problem is flashing official Sony firmware
through flashtool using laptop or
computer, after that we have to again root
and install recovery on our device. All this
process is also quite lengthy and we can
say to some extent it is complicated also.
And sometimes we don't have all
necessary things like laptop, computer,
flashtool etc.
Therefore to overcome all these problems
I have made two different CWM
Recoveries as a flashable zip. Now
whenever you install a new rom through
CWM Recovery just after flashing the rom
don't reboot, come back in recovery flash
one of the recovery file which one you like.
After flashing the file you have CWM
Recovery and you don't need to install it.
Now if you got a bootloop after installing
a new rom then you can easily get into
recovery and restore your nandroid
backup. No need of computer laptop etc.
Here I have attached two different
recovery files. The first one is CWM
Recovery by pvyparts and second one is
CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 by nobodyAtall.
To get access in CWM Recovery by pvyparts just press volume down key rapidly when blue
notification light blinks on Sony logo. This
key combination may be different for
different devices, for example on my
Xperia mini (on ICS) the right key is
power key whereas for Xperia neo V (on
ICS) just hold the touchscreen when blue
notification light blinks. Whereas on
second one you can get into recovery by
pressing volume down key when Sony
logo blinks or gets brighter. Here I have
also attached XParts app as a flashable
zip, so that if you don't know your right
key combination to get into recovery then
you can use this app to get into recovery,
just flash it in recovery,with CWM
Recovery flashable zip. Successfuly tested
it with Smart Xperia Rom, Revolution ICS
HD, Viper Xperia and Zelly cream.
[ Note:- If u have rooted device but don't
have recovery then you can install it
manually by using root explorer just
extract the files from zip and put them in
their respective folders with permission
( rwx r-x r-x) to all files.]
And in last a very special thanks to
pvyparts for his such a beautiful XParts
app and recovery for our 2011 Xperia devices and to nobodyAtall for his recovery too.
Instruction for installing:-
(1) Download the files and put them on sd
card.
(2) Now whenever you flash a new
custom rom through recovery just after
flashing the rom do not reboot, just go
back in recovery and flash one of the
flashable recovery file which you like the
most and enjoy.
[Now two different flashable superuser apps are also included in this thread which can be flashed through cwm recovery, in case you have cwm recovery but no root access.]
Press thanks if you think this post is
useful to you.

Try the recovery by pvyparts but as I have mentioned above in discription that the key combination to get into recovery by pvyparts may be different for different handsets so it may also different for your handset. You can try power key or vol. down key etc. to get into recovery. Good luck

thats strange because on my friend's mini pro this recovery works well with kernel panic. Now tell me after flashing the recovery by pvyparts have you noticed any blue notification light blinks for some time during the booting process of your phone means when sony logo appears and gets brighter ?
Also it will not change your built in kernel recovery but instead of using that you can use this.

then manually install the recovery files to their respective folders with right permissions as I have mentioned above and use x-parts app to get into recovery. I hope this will help you. Also in my friend's mini pro he gets access into recovery by pressing power key when notification light blinks during booting process.

No I can't because android kernels are based on linux and I have very little knowledge of linux but I can provide you some useful links that can help you to change the recovery of your kernel. I will provide links in one or two days.
