I don't think so, may be i am wrong
you neec to unlock bootloader from sony and proceec from there
so there is no way to use adb to import it like it is done in the Xperia s CWM recovery for locked bootloaders or this CWM for Xperia S/Acro HD

you still can install cwm without ub(unlock bootloader) but
you can't flash kernel without ub
the kernel is contained in the boot image or simply explain is what the device uses to boot your device up
thats why we need to ub
i'm still searching cwm for xgo too..realy need it.:silly:
correct me if i'm wrong:victory:

Recently i've been trying to install a new ICS rom on to my phone for which i have to first install the kCernel-CM9-v03.ftf file through flashtool....
but the problem is that when ever i try flashing the kernel, the following error shows up on the log :
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
to flash the kernel I first copy/pasted the ftf file in the firmwares folder in flashtool... and then went into recovery mode on my phone... but that doesn't seem to work anymore...
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE !
have you flashed kernels before ?

Hello, is your problem still there or solved? If not solved, try use older flashtool version to flash KCernel by placing inside its subfolder "firmware"..should work properly. You can get the flashtool link i recommended in newcomer thread.
Btw, not necessary flashing kernels means unlocked bootloader. Locked bootloader also can flash kernels exp Azuzu's. And if you curious to check bootloader status under my newcomer link too. Hope helps. Cheers.
Whitefang
As whitefang said you must be sure if you have unlock bootloader to flash kernel for UB (unlock bootloader).
To check that use s1tool (link in his tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27437237&postcount=4 )
.. and then went into recovery mode on my phone..

To flash kernel You must go into flashmode (phone turn off, press 'back' key and then plug to the PC) but as i say, be sure that you have UB.
Hy guys!
I came across the problem when i was trying new roms for my Neo. Whenever i flash a new rom I risk that it'll go bootloop because I'm on locked bl. If so i cannot reach recovery again because it is on the /system partition itself which is formatted in the process.
I just wanted to ask if somebody could make a flashable zip for our phones so when i flash a new rom I can flash the recovery straight after the rom.
Why don't u flash a stock rom -> unlock bl -> root to gain CWM -> install ROm
I think wating for sb making Custom Rom for u would take a long time
It's just my opinion :silly:
Install x-parts from the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ.. Anyway just make a backup before you flash the rom. Use Flashtool to flash stock firmware, root and install recovery. You can restore your backup from there.:silly:

Yes that would be great..they should include CWM in the rom itself..as in automatically install CWM after flashing rom..before the first boot..

yup thats the problem with locked bootloaders..but if u unlock it then custom kernels will have CWM built-in..

I know that if I unlock the bl I can flash custom kernels but in service menu I have the line: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. In that case can I still use the testpoint method?
I know how can i install recovery on the rom itself but as I said the phone can get into bootloops after installations and in that case I have to flash stock, flash neov kernel, root flash original kernel install cwm and start the whole process from the beginning.

You can unlock it, but you won't be able to use it(fastboot) until you remove SIM lock (with setool for example-paid, no free way).

Hi!! First I have search over google and dont find any solution, so sorry if someone has written it yet. I have a new xperia U maybe 1,2 month with bootloader unlock status: NO. I update to stock ICS firmware with the sony software (companion) Then I flash one kernel.elf, root the phone with the method of bin4ry. And then i flashed the stock kernel. Well at this point I have the phone rooted. I can do everything on phone but that stock firmware is too slow, hang up .... I want to flash one firmware from free xperia project. In order to install it I have to flash boot.img with fastboot mode. Here comes the trouble my device dont boot in fastboot mode. I think isnt driver problem I have installed drivers from tutorials but in device manager doesnt appear any new device (and I dont hear the sound that a new device has plugged in) To boot in flashmode no problem when sony logo press infinitely vol buttons. To boot in fastboot press vol up and then plug in usb cable. But only appears sony logo and then the battery charging. Some question i asked me is if have bootloader unlocked:NO i can run in fastboot mode? then I can root phone but cannot install custom rom? If not how can I boot into fastboot mode??
NOTE: I have cwm-touch 5.xxx
NOTE: I have donwloaded some CWM v6 I found on google and install it via install zip from sd card on my CWM and then the phone bricked! I have to use the restauration option from companion software.
Well first of all, you should unlock your bootloader........if you want to flash custom kernels.....and the fastboot part try searching on the general section....

Check this thread to see how you can unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
In case you device's bootloader can't be unlocked, you can download some cwm for blocked bootloaders. You can find them on sony xperia u development thread.
The one you tried to install, from Free Xperia Projects, need an Unlocked bootloader.
For now, i think the best thing to do is install stock ics rom via flashtool and try to unlock the bootloader.
@ op
U cant install that rom by fxp
Ur bootloader cannot be unlocked
Bt u can use atis112's patch to install it on a locked bootloader
And bro u wont b able to flash any boot.img files on ur xu

That's true bro, but by installing a cwm for block bootloaders at least he will be able to install some custom roms

So just a heads up here, i managed to test the CWM, it works! Just that i think people might find it hard to go into recovery mode. Have your phone TURNED OFF. HOLD VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON at the same time. Once a blue flash and the first vibration occurs, you can now immediately release the POWER BUTTON. But keep holding onto the VOLUME UP BUTTON. Once the Boot logo shows up followed by the 2nd vibration, you can now immediately release the VOLUME UP BUTTON. You'll go into CWM Mode
Ok, just a little report. I just had 2 FCs now after installing it yesterday. Not a big issue to me. I'm guessing i should just fix permissions.

The SU binary and busybox seems to be installed incorrectly. There is no request for superuser access and many scripts have problems finding busybox. I have to flash a superuser zip and install busybox manually.
Thank you so much for this CWM! But i've few questions!!
I'm first gonna flash Extended Stock Kernel,Then my phone is rooted!!
Inorder to get CWM, i flash this kernel, does that mean, i will lose the essentials of the extended stock kernel (root+features)??

Just flash this kernel and there will be root and cwm. No need to flash other kernel. Only unlocked bootloader need.
After flashing install Superuser or SuperSU from market and update su binary.

Use the power off button at the back to make sure its turned off. Then try flashing again and rebooting...

Hi,
I unlocked my bootloader, flashed boot.image and CM snapshot 12 and then after setting up my phone I tried installing TWRP 2.8 with that stupid TWRP Play Store app.
NOW i cannot get into bootloader OR recovery with neither the bootmenu nor adb commandline nor the Volume+- on reboot...
PLEASE HELP me get TWRP 2.8 on my device... OR get me back into Recovery... I'm going crazy here
Turning off the phone and using the volume buttons after turning it on, gives me a black screen with an orange LED for recovery. How do I fix this.
PLEASE, there must be someone out there that can help me get recovery back???

No. Flashing a FTF restores the entire device to a factory state.
