Xperia U - How to enter recovery? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I already unlock bootloader, root and installa CWM.. but I can't enter Recovery Mode!!

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.
If you installed custom kernel,then when sony logo appears,repeatedly press volume up key.

I had this problem before and I discovered my phone had not been rooted correctly. Have you checked that?

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

For enter recovery, when the phone boots up, you just have to press volume + many times

[Q] galaxy s5830i download mode

hi all
i cant put galaxy 5830i in download mode not by volume down+ home+ power and by cmd .can any one help.
thanksssssssssssss
it's volume up+ volume down + power dude
That's right, volume down + home buttom + power button. you've put it in download mode ever? may be that the carrier has blocked.
thankkk alot
Out of idea's
Hello,
(Posted this earlier, but just saw it was in the category of General S5830.. appologies for that)
Unfortunately I've got the same problem. I can't get my S5830i in download mode.
I know that it's Volume up+down and power button. Screen light up and off... Then up again .....and that's it. Black screen with the backlight turned on.
What happened?
I tried installing custom rom (RazoDroid) and during install it froze.... Bricked my phone. Was able to go into download mode and used Odin v1.84 to unbrick. After that I installed RazoDroid and tried to patch some system files to get arabic language working (patch found on this forum)... Didn't work...so installed Retribution, but patch also didn't work on that one.
Decided to install middle eastern rom on the phone (as it's for a friend who's english is bad but arabic is perfect)...tried going to download mode...and nothing..
Solutions
1) Tried depleting phone completely and holding buttons then installing the battery... No success
2) Tried removing battery and inserting USB.. then volume up+down then inserting battery... No success
3) Tried removing battery and inserting USB...then volume up+down+power then inserting battery.... No succes
4) Tried number 2+3 with non-standard USB...no success
5) Tried OneClick soft unbrick..... no success
6) Installing different custom roms.... but understand that this doesn't change boot
7) Internet/forums are out of solutions..... Posting this post ....success?

Just thinking... Is it possible to update/repair the boot file...in order to get the download mode working again?

I had the same problem as you, I tried for hours to get the dam phone into download mode without success.
When I try to put the phone into download mode I just get a constant black (but 'on') screen. I found that even though this is the case the phone is still recognised in odin, as is the yellow bar would appear in odin. I was able to unbrick my phone by reloading a stock rom and then re-put retribution back on the phone but even now if I try to put the phone in download mode I still get the black screen.
Ive learned to live with it.

Lee,
Question... I thought I needed the phone in download mode in order to reload/reflash a stock rom. Could you tell me how to do this....
I tried Odin before and it was just waiting to connect to the phone...
What I want to do is get a middle eastern stock rom installed and give it to my friend. I'm not interested to have download mode working.
Many thanks for the support!

GUYS after some trial and error I got it back to work...
apperantly there are 2 download modes..
1. emergency download : volume up + volume down + power
2. "standard" download mode: volume down + power
the emergency download mode pops up (white letters on screen) when booting the Phone with: volume up + down + power.
if you use volume down + power you get the download mode with yellow letters !!!
if you get the yellow download letters:
1. go to odin (i take it that you have the right version and the rom) install the rom. Check odin to see if it has installed everything = pass
2. The Phone reboots -> diconnect the usb cable to finish the install (odin is waiting for reboot but ignore that).
3. Reboot the system in to recovery mode: POWER + HOME button
4. from the Recovery Menu, select “Wipe data/factory reset” then select “Wipe Cache Partition” and then select “reboot system now” to reboot your system.
5. wait for about 5 minutes and the Phone starts os. Connect to your google account and you are finished!
I had a completely bricked Phone but now I got an official factory version running on it again!
I hope this is off some help for others with the same problem!

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

I think this recovery.img was not walid... I did that with my phone too, and nothing appear in screen. U have to flash another kernel (i suggest, the doomlords kernel). After that turn on the phone, and press the volume up, when doomlord logo appears.
hope it helps.
How are you getting on is your phone back on?

If you tried the methods above with no joy it obviously isn't installed. With the cwm you are trying is there a .bat file in the download on your computer. If so while your phone is plugged into PC run the bat file and follow onscreen instructions. Then try launching cwm again.If you havnt managed it yet leave a message and I'll find it.

I am posting here as I am facing the same problem.
I have been following this guide to flash my phone with CM10 from ICS stock rom.
h#ttp#://androidlegend.com/xperia-s-update-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean-with-cyanogenmod-10/
I have successfully followed everything done previously, including Unlocking the bootloader, getting root access, installing busybox, using RecoverX to install CWM.
I copied the FXP150-cm-10.1-20121209-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip to sdcard, is it this that is required to flash to ROM or the boot.img that is inside the zip?
And I am stuck on that part where I have to reboot into recovery mode. I have tried
a) Connecting my phone and opening fastboot mode and then try to keep the vol up pressed to open recovery mode.
b) Without connecting, powering my phone on and pressing volume up. But there is no blue LED
c) Without connecting, powering my phone on and continuously tapping on sony logo. After that Xperia logo.
But I can not enter the recovery mode.
A little guidance please?
Flashing CM needed a seperate kernel. Keep following the instructions to use fastboot to flash the boot.img
Power the phone off. Hold vol + then plug the USB cable in. There should be a blue light.
Poorly written tutorial IMO. Should be flashing kernel first then the rom to save some panic.
I asked the Sony-Support, they say that there is no recovery-mode.(for Xperia U, but they are the "same")

Guys, dont ask Sony cause stock ROM doesnt have recovery.
If you want to flash CM you must fastboot the boot.img inside the zip file, before that put the ROM into your phone memory, power on the phone and keep pressing vol up, enter into CM recovery and flash rom from phone memory. Wipe before and after.
Agree, stock ROM doesn't have Recovery Mode. When you turn your phone with VOL_UP, nothing happens :cyclops:

I flashed my xperia s with recovery.img and then disconnected the cable. Then i tried turning it on from the power button nothing was displayed on the screen. So how do i boot my xperia s in the recovery mode so that i get an option "wipe data/factory reset"?

try flashing it again, maybe your first flash had an error.
Met the same problem and here what I did:
-Take off the battery in 10 minutes and put it back
-Plug the charger into the phone and do the logging in CWM steps (press and hold the volumme up, press the power button).
Finally it worked, hope this can help

No im not rooted, never rooted this particular phone. I did nothing, i remember it having like 5 % battery just before i went to sleep so when i woke up in the morning i tried to charge it but it didnt work and that's when i got stuck
I dont think i downloaded or changed anything for the past weeks before the phone died.

Well since you are not rooted and dont have custom recovery you only have s couple of things to try.
Turn off your phone then press power+volume up + volume down for a few seconds until you get to a screen where you are going to highlight recovery with your volume down and select it with volume up,when the android with red triangle appers press volume up + volume down and let go,a new screen will apear then highlight wipe cache with volume keys and select it with power button after that reboot your phone and see if solved your problem,otherwise you are gonna have to upgrade to jelly bean via stock recovery or rsdlite.

You do explain very well which i like.

Now let's go!

I have just an exact problem, but in my own case, it is rooted, and just before it got stuck at the boot screen, i just flashed my phone with a custom ROM. (kit kat). I have watched several videos, but i am really skeptical at this point. Please help, i am so stuck out here.
Hi all,
I have Motorola XT621 Primus, after some playings with it and trying to root and add RTL patching i got a brick.
Now the status is that i have fastboot mode working but bootloader is locked, no recovery working and no ADB working, no boot too.
I tryed many ways to flash or unlock bootloader but nothing works. Any commands like fstboot oem got output like (...)
Is there any way to unlock bootloader via fastboot and flash new rom or it completely bricked?
Thanks!

What to do in case of bootloop

Hi. So I have a noobish question
This may sound very stupid, but this is actually the first time I've owned a phone with non-removable battery, so I just wanted to know what would I do if I ever got stuck in a bootloop? With my previous device, I could just remove the battery and put it back in then boot into recovery. Obviously can't do that now. So how do I turn the phone off, or enter recovery?
Anyone?
You can enter the recovery whenever you want by pressing the on/off button and the down volume button for about 10 seconds. When the Oneplus logo is on the screen release the on/off button but keep the down volume button pressed.
It works, I had a bootloop and fixed it by flashing the rom via twrp

Sorry, I got a little confused
Just to be clear, here's what I understood from what you said - Consider I turn my phone on and its stuck in a bootloop. What do I do then? Hold the power and vol down buttons? That will boot the recovery, even while the device is stuck in bootloop with the oneplus logo continuously showing?
Did I get it right?

I'm sorry I'm not English I may be unclear.
But yes, when you got the logo continuously showing, press the two buttons I said and it will reboot the phone, but you have to release only the on/off button when the oneplus logo will appear right after the beginning of the reboot. If you keep pressing the down volume button it will go to recovery
Have you got a oneplus x already ? You can try it right now, when your phone is awake. It's the same method as in a bootloop.

So I tried what you said, didn't exactly work When the phone was awake, did power+vol down. That just caused it to take a screenshot.
However, when I held down just the power button, the phone turned off. Then I had to turn it on by holding the power button. I did the same thing (holding down power button) while the phone was booting, it worked even then, and the phone again turned off.
So at least I can get into recovery now in case of bootloop. I just need to hold the power button till phone turns off, then boot into recovery using power+vol down combination.
Anyways, thanks for the help
Bootloop
I have the same thing.
Yesterday, I got my OPX and installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and superSU. AFter using the phone all day, I rebooted and it is now saying in TWRP "no operating system".
I tried to flash the 2.1 full ROM and I get an error in both TWRP or in Stock recovery.
I need a way to get my system booted again and do a full reset. Any suggestions?

You can try a different twrp. There's 2 builds for our device. One is from the twrp thread itself, the other is available in the blu_spark kernel thread.

hi chennai
thk u for ur answer
I tried the manipulation with the power button and the volume down but the reboot is too fast to enter bootloader
Indeed, my phone was under oos3.x and wanted to move to cyanogen ... but once the OEM Unlocked I tried to install TWRP, and that's when it is set to reboot systematically

u cannot flash official twrp while u r on oos 3.1.x.. ur bootloader is upgraded since official twrp will not work in oos3.. instead use twrp by bluespark v41 links given below.

Hi thank you for your return, but your link doesn't work!
For fastboot, unfortunately I can't access it because the phone restarts automatically so it doesn't work with on and volume down buttons and it doesn't work either with a computer.... Any other advise :'(

I think u r doing it wrong, if u press power and vol down it ll go to recovery mode which is probably corrupted now in your case... Thats y phone gets restarted again and again.
Try this... Swt of ur phone completly hold the volume up button and power button... Press vol up first and while holding it press power buttom.. This ll take u to fastboot screen...
For the link my bad... Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=20236 go to this page and download this recovey
Flash this recovery while u r in fastboot mode... If u need further assistance for in fastboot mode feel free to ask
