Today i flashed (zip file) my SXS to MIUI latest version, but after installation i feel bad and i want to flash Dualcore rom. But when i tried to enter into recovery mod nothing is happening. Before flashing MIUI ROM i had a CWM recovery (after flashing the rom i didnt do any CWM recovery flashing), so i cant flash from sd card. Can anyone help me to enter into recovery??
Flash stock ftf, root it, install cwm, and then flash [email protected] core rom.
And if you unlocked your bootloader, flash advanced kernel by arakmar and then flash [email protected] core rom.

Thanks for your reply, but i had found something very easy from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346
using this we can make CWM from PC for any ROM (Custom and Stock (i think)) , very easy just run the install.bat alone... Thank you HooLIMAN87 for ur reply.. :laugh:

Hi, I have a Galaxy S2 with stock ROM 4.0.3 and stock Recovery. I wanted to know if there is a way of flashing Custom Rom without rooting the phone or ADB. Would this method work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 I would just proceed till the step "Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear." Would this work? i need custom recovery so i can flash a custom ROM.
Thanks again
No you cant flash a Custom ROM from stock recovery, you need a custom recovery and root access on your phone for flashing custom roms
the method you linked is only for rooting, the recovery appearing is only a temporory one from which you can only install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip.

I didn't test it myself, but I think that it will work.
If the custom ROM is provided as Odin-flashable tar file, you don't need a CWM recovery to flash it. Just put the ROm tar file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone.
Only if the custom ROM is available as CWM-flashable zip file, you need to flash a kernel containing CWM recovery first.
I prefer to flash CF-Root kernel from Chainfire with Odin. It contains CWM Manager app and CWM recovery of cause.
When you are in doubt, stick to the flashing instructions of the ROM developer - usually in the corresponding ROM thread.
P.S.:
As soon as you have CWM recovery, create a nandroid/system backup.
So you will be able to go back to your current system, if something goes wrong with the new ROM.
Good luck !
Oh cool, lemme try it

All you need to do is download cwm recovery from here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager in your SD card and flash the Dowloaded zip from stock recovery .
Once you flash, your stock recovery will be converted to cwm recovery
After that flash any custom rom of your choice. Simple and short

No you can flash any ROM you want, just like any other cwm.
I have used it multiple times, but the Queston is can you do it the first time, before you choose that busy box installer.
Edit: yes you can flash any rom just fine

exactly that is the step you asked about, will not work.....
I can confirm it works.....
Flashed new dx9 after full wipe.
From recovery choose the cwm zip
From that touch cwm flashed aosp rom.
So it works just fine.

I think the CWM is in the kernel, so, as long as you have the kernel, you'll have cwm

But flashing the stock rom zip will not replace the kernel file ?

There is no stock rom zip.
If you flash a firmware with flashtools than you will lose cwm cause the kernel will be replaced.

It cant b permanent

How can u expect cwm recovery to b permanent

i just mean to say that tha CWM recovery shouldn't be gone when changing rom and in my case my CWM recovery is always wiped when i install a stock based rom .
I think the only solution is this: Immediately after flashing the new rom, flash a new cwm zip that installs cwm itself That way, you never lose the recovery so long as you dont forget to install it

Only if the kernel you have is including a CWM recovery Also, if the rom you flash contains another recovery, you lose CWM with it But, yeah I think Khalil's suggestion and mine are the closest you can get to a permanent CWM
noway on this earth you can have CWM permanent.. you flash the stock ftf again and foops its gone... sope alway keep the CWM recovery handy like the other flashin softwares you use...

Ok You have the stock rom now.. so you can install recovery the way you did it before... (you know, go through the rooting process again and so on)
The ROM you tried to flash depends on a custom kernel, and the custom kernels have recovery built in, so it's not included in the ROM, that's why you lost it.
If you don't (want to) use a custom kernel, you need to find a ROM that is built for the stock kernel. Those ROMS will have the recovery included.
So in short: ROM for stock SonyEricsson kernel will have recovery included.
ROM for custom kernel will not have recovery, because it's in the kernel itself.

Yes, i know you did not flash a kernel. I tried to explain why you lost your recovery.
Think of your phone as a computer:
The hardware by itself can't do anything, so it needs software.
On a computer, you have a bios, or uefi, that initialises some hardware parts and then tries to find an operating system. On your phone it's called the bootloader.
The bootloader looks for the kernel, and loads it when it finds one.
The kernel then looks for the userspace software.On your computer it loads Windows, or Linux or whatever you have on there. On the phone that's called the ROM.
The bootloader on the phone is locked to look for the stock Sony Ericsson kernel, anything else will not work. But you can unlock the bootloader so it can find other kernels too.
The SonyEricsson kernel does not have recovery built in, so when you put recovery on your phone, it's installed in the ROM.
When you flash another ROM it gets overwritten, so if the new ROM does not have recovery included you will lose it.
A custom ROM that runs on Stock Kernel will have recovery included.
A custom ROM that runs on a custom Kernel will NOT have recovery included, because it is built into that custom Kernel.
So when you flash that ROM you will lose recovery.
So you went back to the original firmware, you will need to root the phone again and install recovery again, and then flash a ROM that says it will run on the Stock kernel.
The Nxt5 ROM expects recovery to be in the kernel, so it's not suitable for the SonyEricsson kernel.
I hope you understand this

The ROM should have the kernel with cwm in the zip file, flash it with fastboot and install the ROM as instructed on its thread.
Do not forget to copy the zip to SD card before you flash the kernel.
