1.Turn off your phone
2.Reboot it back
3.The first Sony Ericsson should show up,don't waste your energy to press the volume rocker (down) button
4.When the boot animation played,press the volume rocker button several time until you enter the Clockwork Mod Recovery OR wait until the blue led appear (which only around 2 seconds I think) and press the volume rocker button several time until you entered the CWM Recovery

Doesn't matter how many times you click it, once is enough, but you can more also.
I always, when restarting, I do other stuff while clicking the volume down button rapidly, too lazy to wait.

nothing works except xparts... Help!
Okay I rooted my LWW with stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and installed CWM through xparts.
I can boot into CWM through xparts, create backup and also have flashed it back.
But the problem is, I can boot into CWM only through xparts. I tried manually as explained above (pressing volume down key and when it didn't work, tried the volume up key too) but nothing works. Every time I try, it boots into system and I've to go through xparts to boot in CWM.
My concern is I'm afraid to install any custom ROM's now. If my phone gets stuck in boot loop, I won't be able to boot into system and hence no xparts and no CWM.
How to have a full fledged recovery CWM, like I had in HTC Pico/Explorer(A310e) which could be booted through it's fastboot menu.
Please help, I'll definitely press thanks.

Have you tried installing a custom kernel? Flash your specified kernel through flashtool and boot to CWM via the button. As soon as you see the Sony sign continuously press the volume down key.
Hope this helps

Press home+ volume up and power not volume down

According to me i think so that your phone is not even rooted
so first of all Root your phone using Z4ROOT (i won,t be avalable in the market find it on google.
then from the market just find the Rom Manager and use option there to install recovery select p500 and it will install clockwork mod recovery 3.1.0.0
If you need to flsh AmronRa recovery just use the zip file provided by ciaox and flash it from clockwork itself

Unable to boot CWM

Hi,
I've just rooted my Sony Ericsson xperia neo, unlocked the bootloader using Sony's website, and just installed CWM using the 'install-cwm1' script in the usual 'CWM-Install.rar' file used for installing Clockworkmod recovery.
Everything has worked fine so far, and I have root access and unlocked bootloader. The script pushes all the files correctly to my Neo and seems to install CWM just fine. However, I can't seem to boot my phone into CWM at all.
I've tried holding volume down and power, volume up and down and power, and the back key and power, but none of them get me into the CWM menu at boot, they just boot the phone as normal.
Anyone got any suggestions, or am I missing something really obvious here? I did a search on the forums and couldn't seem to find anything about this problem.
Thanks for your help,
Rory.

Try to flash a custom kernel.. They are pre rooted and have CWM already installed!

Dont press the buttons at the same time.
Press the power button untill it starts to turn on. then keep pressing and letting go and pressing (Very quickly) the BACK button whilst the boot screen appears.
Or you can install xperia reboot options from the market (There is a free version in the x10 thread from DooMLoRD, who developed the app). That has the option to reboot into recovery, so if you have cmw installed correctly it will boot into it without having to press any buttons.
This is DooMLoRDs link to xperiarebootoptions app.

When the phone boots up, I believe you get a multi-coloured illumination of the LED Bar (Red Green & Blue). When this comes, just press the down volume key repeatedly (usually once or twice is enough but it might take some time to get used to it)
Do report back your results so we can help you further.

Hi,
I am also facing the same issue. I've rooted my phone and installed CWM also. Now when i do restart to my phone, when sony logo appears (without multi-coloured illuminating LED Bar ), I start pressing 'Volum Down' button repeatedly. But it doesnt enter into Recovery mode. I simply goes to Xperia logo loading and then after that it starts loading the Internal storage and starts up with older ROM.
I dont know, if I am doing something wrong or I am not getting the correct way to boot it in recovery mode.
Plz Help.
Thanks in advance.

If you installed only recovery(not custom kernel),then when sony logo appears,repeatedly press volume down key.You will enter into recovery.

Check for root. Also try this:
When the phone boots, it will vibrate at the Sony logo. Try tapping the screen multiple times at that moment. My current kernel (Sliding XSola V4) has this tap to enter recovery.
Try that and report.
I'm getting the same damn problem.
Im on stock ICS
rooted and confirmed by root checker
unlocked bootloader via sony instructions
installed cwm with recoveryX
cant get it to do **** except enter a stupid safe mode
by thrashing the volume down button
up does nothing

Did you install the recovery? Some comes with kernel and some installed manually. I only used the manual one before which originally made for acro HD but now also available for XPS. That, just tap the sony logo few times and it will goes to the recovery.

hey do u have cwm installed? have u flashed custom kernel? or advanced stock kernel, if yes then you just need to do is press volume up @ sony screen, when @ sony screen (assuming you have installed advanced ics), it will vibrate and have a led light then press the volume up.
if you havent installed i guess you need to do some reading on how to unlock and install custom kernel.

How you did it?
As soon as the Sony logo or anything shows up on screen, start pressing the Volume Down key ( Not holding, press repeatedly) and you'll get a vibration. Keep pressing a few more times and you'll get into CWM
Im assuming you added CWM already though
If you have any issues, reply here
