Dpwnds in your recovery... Which kernel do you have or which recovery sid you flash? To enter most of the recoveries you need to yap on the sony or your kernel logo when you start your phone

Be more specific about this.
If you have not installed recovery you don't have recovery to enter.

did you read good and do this?
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3 - when phone is booting (first 5 seconds) press volume down key several times to enter recovery and choose apply update from sdcard
WARNING - if you used another rom (stock or custom) you have to wipe data or device will not boot
DOWNLOAD
look in my signature
please don't mirror (we want to have download conunt)
Hi
When you were installing CM7 on clockworkmod did you remeber to wipe everything? before you install the rom, on the first screen of clockworkmod you see wipe data and wipe cache. Wipe them both then go to advanced and wipe dalvic cache and battery stats, after that install CM7. So what should you do:
1. turn of phone
2. connect to pc on fastboot and flash kernel with built in recovery (Command: fastboot flash boot boot.img)
3. now disconnect phone and go to cwm and wipe everything like i said
4. install cm7
if works hit thanks ^^
btw. sony ericsson logo, seems like you didnt even flash kernel?
Since u are saying u seeing sony ericsson logo seems u didnt flash kernel properly, use flashtool in xperia neo dev section makes things way easier.
Good luck bro hope this helps !

just flash that kernel via fastboot. don't use apps to flash kernels
fastboot flash boot nameOfKernel.img
I think you forgot to flash the custom kernel,cos if you flashed the CM kernel it should not show Sony Ericsson boot logo,it should show CM boot logo
update
I flashed .42 firmware again using flashtool and the device is now working
Now i realized that the problem was that i didn't properly unlock the bootloader...what i want now is a way to unlock it..bcz everytime i try it gives me this error
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
finished. total time: 0.003s
I searched the forum and tried this thread

Hello.
I have recently bought a brand new Sony Xperia S. i got it all working when i unlocked its bootloader and rooted it.
now it gots into some kind of bootloop. it wont boot up. that means i cant get into its internal Sdcard. so i cant move any images to the phone so i can install it by recovery mode.. the only mode i can get into is the fastboot mode.
all i need to know is, can i somehow move a .zip file to my phone, when the only mode i can be in is Fastboot?
Flash doom recovery in fastboot then access the recovery and mount the usb to your pc and copy what you want.

Use it to reflash your firmware...
First power down with the hard power down button combo, and reflash using flashtool.
im a bit new to this, but i can flash kernels to my phone. but i cant get into recovery mode to install anything. im stuck in the boot loop. dont know what to do -.-'

Read the flashtool guide. It allows you to reflash any soft bricked device.

thanks foryour reply. i've got into the recovery mode. but i cant install any *.zip from my sdcard, because i cant mount the sd. so i cant move anything onto it so i can install it from the recovery mode.
any suggestion?

Download flashtool from the sticky thread and any FTF you like. Unplug your phone and switch it off completely. Then hold the volume up button and plug it back. Install flashmode-drivers.exe shipped with flashtool. Run flashtool, click the flash button, choose your ftf and wait. When it's done, reboot to your new firmware.

I'm sorry but as far as I know it's not. No reboot option or anything and other keys are not working. I'm sorry
But you could flash a custom kernel, boot in cwm, flash the stock rom in cwm and boot it. You're stock then
Well flashmode won't be possible, but you could always reboot to recovery via adb.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Cheers,
AJ
Ya figured it out i Can Use walkman key to go to recovery.

My D6503 is currently running paranoid android. Previously I've been using cwm but yesterday I decided to try out TWRP. I install TWRP using the TWRP manager in play store but after that when I try to boot to recovery it would show a black screen and orange light on the top speaker. Then I tried to install XZDualRecovery using the installer's method 1 (custom rom with superSU). However after install when the phone reboots it stucks and the sony logo keep flashing. I force shut down using the red button on the side and I managed to get to the system and removed XZDualRecovery. However I still can't get into recovery, it will just show that black screen and orange light. So I wanna ask you guys what should I do to get access to recovery again?
Thank you

use flashtool>flashtool.net to flash the TWRP IMG in the original development section, you will need to re-flash Paranoid android ROM to get cwm back
you cant change the recovery pre-packaged into a ROM
Xperia's don't have a recovery partition so recoveries are bundled with the kernel

hmm, odd, i think you will have to reflash stock, reflash stock then go back to PA
you can use flashtool to reflash a stock FTF

it will not relock your bootloader
1. download flashtool
2. download a FTF (there is a ftf thread at top of the general section)
3. put FTF in firmwares folder in flashtool folder
4. click flash device icon at the top left
5. click the FTF you selected
6. wait for it to finish preparing
7. power off device
8. plug in flashmode (volume down held and plug usb in)
9. wait for it to finish
10. enjoy stock or install recovery and flash a custom rom

thank you very much. Looks like it gonna take plenty of time. Will do it later when I have time
There is a easier way to get CWM back. Just flas the boot.img from pa and then go into fastboot (in case you are not already and do "fastboot erase recovery"
On the Z2 the recovery is included in the kernel, and once recovery boots it get expanded to the recovery part. As this is filled by TWRP ATM, none of the 2 will boot.

Hi guys,
Was trying to load custom recovery on the phone. Its 4.4.4 GPE Z Ultra I unlocked bootloader by Sony's website, and then thinking it will be like other GPE phones, I ran the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.12.8-togari.img
I got an OK and when I tried to enter recovery, I get a black screen. I am able to get into OS, and into fastboot, but not recovery.
Next I loaded doomkernel v02 for GPE, and flashed boot.img as per the thread
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Rebooted the phone and i still can NOT get into recovery. The phone does display DoomKernel logo.
How do I get customer recovery on it? TWRP, CWM, or PHILZ doesn't matter! I am trying to downgrade to 4.4.2.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide?!
Bump!

When booting the phone try pressing the volume up or volume down buttons when the led light turns purple during the DooMKerneL splash screen. There is also.an app in the playstore called xperia reboot made by DooMLorD.
