I have applied this method for my mini pro & it worked for me well, backup of rom works with wipe data & dalvik cache as well, though didn't tried yet to install any zip file from it
not working guys,,,
Same problem here...
Guys i tried se tweek installer, install cwm.bat, and also manual method. but nothing works. it always freezes if i press volume down key.
Is there any other method to install cwm or any alternative to cwm to install mods..?
There are different kernels available that are compatible with the stock rom and include CWM recovery and various mods for overclocking or TUN/TAP, ...
But those kernel needs unlocked boot loader man.. I want cwm in locked bootloader.
could anyone just post an stock kernel with cwm installed.
As ftf format so that i can flash it with flash tool.
Hi evrery body
I bought Xperia mini today and i want to update in ICS
i have 2 quastion!!
1- which file i have to download .. there are many thread and i dont know which is necassary 4me???
2- how i reboot in cwm ?? plz helpppppppppp
What file do you want to download and from where?
Install CWM, turn off phone, then turn it on and when the Sony or Sony Ericsson logo appears, press volume down many times, until a menu appears.
Just simply update your phone using SEUS (SonyEricsson Update Service). Just download it and follow the steps.
Its always work to update.
Don't forget, if it's help, simply click Thanks too :beer::beer:

For 2nd questions, you need to root your phone. Do you ever heard about how to root sk17i?
If you have rooted your phone, just download CWM installer from market, install it, open, and install clockworld mode. After you installed it, theres a menu to reboot your phone into cwm mode.
Feel free to ask more if you find difficulties.

If I have got you right, after you installing the custom ROM, without flashing the necessary kernel and without unlocking bootloader, (which is totally wrong) your phone gets stuck on the SONY logo screen right?
The solution now is to, calm down first, read the posts made here properly(I say this because you were told to unlock bootloader and to flash the necessary kernel before installing the custom ROM by a XDA member on this thread itself, but you did none of those) turn off your phone, and use flashtool to do a full flash of your phone.
Download the .ftf of your phone, ICS or GB, whichever, then flash your phone using that ,ftf file via flashtool, then follow the tutorials available here on XDA to root your phone (The tutorials differ for ICS and GB), root your phone, start it, download and install 'Xperia CWM auto installer' from the market, then install CWM using this app.
Then unlock your bootloader using the various methods available but be aware of the warranty issues involved.
Then flash the necessary kernel on your phone, there's a tutorial for this too on XDA, then start your phone, when the SONY logo brightens keep pressing the volume down key repeatedly and you will enter CWM.
Then follow the instructions on the thread from where you have downloaded the ROM you want to install and then reboot.
Voila.. you are on custom ROM of your choice my friend..
I have tried to make this as simple as possible, but if you still need more help, feel free to ask.
NOTE: Do not flash custom kernels without unlocking bootloader.
hey guys! i m using xperia mini, rooted, locked bootloader, installed clockwork recovery by using x-Parts
i decided to flash real ICS r5.1
but now... when i start my phone, sony ericsson logo did appear but it wont continue running...
i cant reboot into recovery too. i did hold volume button down and push power on button but it just wont boot into recovery mode.
b4 i try to flash the rom, i did backup in clockwork

Just flash the original rom with flashtool. Do it like here.
Have you been on rooted ics or rooted gingerbread? Cause I think you have to be on rooted ics to install real ics, but I don't know exactly

Download Flashtool from HERE
DOWNLOAD official ICS firmware from HERE
Run Flashtool click on the flashing icon ( left side below "file" option)
Select flashmode > ok
Setup should be like this > select OK
Shutdown phone and press Volume Down while plug in usb GREEN light on
How to root 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)

Your mobile is now rooted (See if any Superuser app has been installed on your phone ) and back to life

the most easy way to flash custom rom is to unlock your bootloader first...then flash any custom kernel that have root and CWM pre-installed...then you can flash any custom rom without any problem....
THANK YOU

PROBLEM SOLVED! I M SO HAPPY!

I wouldn't do it with the kernel to flash, cause if something goes wrong you have the ray kernel on mini pro and you will have to try to unlock bootloader and flash other kernel. I would just flash the ftf file for .42 and root, run local-prop and upgrade to ics and run push-root-files.
had $tucked same situation

Okay, have you got latest flashtool installed? Please install all drivers for all phones and modes from flashtool installation folder -> drivers.
Turn phone off, take off battery, insert battery, hold volume down, connect usb, flash stock rom!
That should work, try it again.
Be sure the custom rom you flash is same as the base you used before. I mean if you flash an ics custom rom, you have to be on ics before, same on gingerbread
Thanks.............

How to flash it..i mean after downloading stock frimware where you put files in flas
plz tell me i have same problem of that ..
Please read this!!!
People with locked bootloaders please read this
u have installed a recovery mode (using x-parts or any other methods) to your system partition. When u flash a rom, it formats system partition. so u can't go back to recovery until u bootup and install it again. to get a permanent recovery, u have to unlock bootloader and flash a kernel that have a recovery mode (it's getting installed to your boot partition). so it won't get wiped by a rom flash.
Hello ravin
You gave us the reason, and a solution for unlocked bootloaders... The question is that the problem happens in locked ones.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
There are plenty of roms for Locked Bl, so it is just a questionvof method with the Cwm installation.
Thanks for your input!

You could try opening the rom.zip, replace the files in the zip with the files from cwm (can be found in the forum), zip it again and flash it

Hello XDA buddies,
I need your help. I am having Xperia U on ginger bread(.188) which i wanted to upgrade on official ICS and afterward will try some custom roms. Before doing any updating i want to backup my stock rom in case any **** will happen i will be safe sided.I made searches about this and come to know that i have to unlock my bootloader and install custom recovery to backup my stock rom.
So here i am struggling:
1.I have unlock bootloader via sony official method but when iam trying to enter recovery mode by pressing volume key down(also tried volume key up) while my phone is restarting and sony logo appears nothing unusual happens and my phone starts normally.
2. To install CWM recovery i have to flash my SXU with some kernel(i really donn't know about this) and for flashing the kernel my phone must be on ICS. As i mentioned above before updating to ics i wanna backup my stock rom.
PlZ help me out of this.
Thanks in advance

Then I installed X-Parts to install CWM, but I failed to open the recovery mode. Yes I already tried pressing few times that volume down or back button. My android version 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587). Please help me to install this ROM.
Sorry about my bad English.
You need to install cwm, there are installers that can be found on the forum, try searching cwm for xperia arc s, I am pretty sure you will find one. Then using cwm you can install rom. Try the arc s forum for finding cwm for your device.

Hey bro thanks for your reply. I searched for ''custom rom for xperia arc s'' and I found something like this ''use the cwm installer kit from doomlord''.
I don't know what is that mean. And then I found something like this ''For locked bootloader, use Xperia Auto Installer. Can be download at market.
For unlocked bootloader, flash custom kernel with CWM like Stock ICS kernel with CWM, ArcKnight and Doomkernel.''
I'm not sure my bootloader is locked or unlocked. Is there any way to confirm this thing ?
Use cwm auto installers,
No need of unlock bootloader.
For unlock bootloader just ask me how?

Yes. I used ''X-Parts'' to auto install cwm. After rebooting my phone I rapidly keep pressing volume down or back button. But the recovery mode didn't show up. What should I do ?
Can to tell me how to unlock bootloader ?
