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 I only used the manual one before which originally made for acro HD but now also available for XPS.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.

Boss here not able to move further after Xperia logo if it moves towards home screen i was already taken back up.Need a help how resolve the issue

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.

What is CWM and how to install CWM, How to stock kernal.

I have the same problem and I think it's because I can't install the drivers for some reason... I think Windows 8 already auto-installed some stupid drivers that don't work. Does anyone know how to reinstall the fastboot drivers?

Not able to go into recovery mode
Dear All,
I installed cwm recovery tool by following the steps as told in this thread using recovery installer for my xperia s (build no. 6..1.a.2.45).
I tried going into recovery mode by pressing VOL UP + button during bootlogo (sony) but nothing happens.. the phone restarts in its usual manner.
ive unlocked the bootloader via fastboot .. roooted the phone with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17: method.
I just cannot fathom how to get into recovery mode so that i can install custom rom !!
any advice will be greatly appreciated .. thanks in advance
Please help me

Try tapping the screen(no pun intended) as per instructed in one of the threads(can't remember which one)?
Can't say for sure as your device is Xperia S but that's what I did and it works(surprisingly, pun intended)

If you have unlocked the bootloader, than download advanced ics kernel fastboot image, not the zip for cwm.. Then flash it in fastboot mode.. Then restart and enter recovery..

I had the same issue, you juss need to keep pressing the volume up button when you see the Sony Logo and not simply holding the button down. It's weird but trust me it works.

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

[Q] Boot in Recovery Mode (With Broken Volume Down)

Someone Help Me Please!! I'm Begging.
I was able to Root my phone and install CWM Recovery.
I flashed a certain ROM and I accidentally choose the step for Unlocked Bootloaders, then I got a boot loop.
My volume down button is broken so I can't boot into recovery thru hard buttons.
Is there any other way to Boot into Recovery Mode? I already tried using ADB Commands, it doesn't work for me. Though I tried ADB with other phone and worked.
My phone is an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i.
Stuck in SONY Logo
My phone can't even get thru the Xperia Logo.
Just the SONY. Please Help Me!
I feel hopeless already. :crying:
My frnd also had exactly the same problem. He is using Xperia ray .he told he could enter in recovery mode by repeatedly pressing home button.
Try and let me know.

When I bricked my phone ADB was the first thing that comes to my mind since my volume down is broken. But ADB can't detect my device and whenever I plug it thru USB it just reboot the phone on the SONY logo. Nothing happens and not a single ADB Command works.
I hope someone can give me an alternative. Or is there something that I miss?

Well I m not sure about what I am advising
My friend can boot into recovery using home button for sure, maybe it depends on kernel (or the recovery version) too. So why not flash a different kernel (which includes recovery :: almost all custom kernels have that, not the stock one) using fastboot mode and then give it a try.
I also found the following command
fastboot reboot -bootloader
although it didn't worked on my xperia Ray (assuming bootloader here refers booting into recovery)
Try using Lupus V6 i am using it right now and i checked it. it can enter CWM with home button as well with volume up button. don't forget to thank dev(singh_dd93 & wedgess) if hi helped you.
edit: sorry man i partly miss lidded you. only home button takes you to CWM. volume up takes you to TWRP.

Dude just flash stock.ftf
Then root it
Flash custom ics kernel (included cwm in all kernel)
Then using xposed modules add advanced reboot menu
And then choose reboot to recovery
And i don't think we need volume buttons in whole process

[Q] My Xperia U won't boot!!

Hi!! I need help with my Xperia U. I'm new to XDA, therefore I don't know if I'm in right place to ask this question.
It was working yesterday, but when I tried to install Rom(??), it won't boot anymore.
1. I rooted my XU.
2. I installed CWM with an app.
3. I tried to install stock Jelly Bean recovery from XDA. (I backed up. But now, my XU doesn't show up anything, so I cannot restore it.)
4. Completed installing file from zip.(In CWM.) I don't know I did this in right way, but I pressed the botton that says ''Install zips from SD card." I'm not sure if I need to flash something.
What I installed is this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-stock-6-2-0-400-xperia-version-3-1-t2253486
5. I forgot to wipe data and cache...
6. It started rebooting.
But the screen won't show up. I don't know what happened..
I changed boot animation in the past, and deleted old one before, so is it my failed..??
It's not booting up anymore, and when I pressed power botton, the green light shows up on the left corner o LED bar.
I also tried to press power botton and volume up, a blue light shows up and it goes away in 10 sec.
Nothing shows up. Not SONY Logo either...
In addition, when I connect to computer, the computer doesn't read.
If I press volume up and put usb cable, the computer reads it, but I don't know what to do.
I cannot use flash tool because I cannot install Xperia P U Sola driver. It is keep saying ''Install failed". can some one know how to install drivers?
I need somebody to help me as fast as you can. I didn't unlock bootloader I think. But I rooted it with one-click method.
PS sorry for my bad English... I hope somebody can fix my Xperia U.
Thanks.

Recovery mode in Xperia 1

Hi, I've searched and searched and can't find a useful answer to a simple question - how do I enter the recovery mode in Xperia 1? The usual "press the power button together with Volume down (or sometimes up)" does not work! Another suggestion I found was to restart and quickly tap Volume down (or up) when the Sony logo appears. Also does not work. I sent a message to Sony support and received a reply stating "Unfortunately there is no recovery mode in Xperia devices" (I can upload the message if anyone cares).
So, can anyone tell me how can one enter the recovery mode in Xperia 1 and confirm that you actually did it?
I've entered recovery mode , after like 5 reboot, my phone was bootlooping and i got that screen's with android and i successfully flashed the original stock rom....... that was cool but i would know too how to enter in that

You need to flash recovery first but I don't think it's working on Android 10 as of yet, Sony phones don't come with a stock recovery.

Thanks mate, I guess that's what the Sony support was trying to tell me, but in an incomprehensible manner.
Don't have Android 10 yet, wanted to wipe the cache partition before updating, but I guess I'll wait for the update to come.
