Use alliance kernel.
You'll get cwm with it by default.
" Always forgive your enemy, nothing will ever annoy him more."
Use any kernel other than stock....
That should give you cwm permanently.... As you've an unlocked bl now

Hi, first i want to say sorry about my english level and thanks to people who reads my post.
I try to flash mi xperia mini pro sk17, with ..058 version of firmware, unlocked bootloader, rooted and with CWM.
Will follow the step by step instruction, and after instalation my phone is stuck on Sony Ericsson screen and nothing happens about 10 minutes and after then i remove the battery and try to enter in CWM and again nothing happens.
Does anyone have the same problem and how you resolve it ?
Thanks in advance for people who help me !
Respect for all XDA members !
Occured same problem, flashed my phone back to stock firmware until I find a solution.
Anyone has one?
ok...i will try to explain....I believe you have installed nAa-r2 CWM? It is defective CWM since it is put in system/ section... hybrom rewrites this section, thus, when you start recovery from system/ and try to install ROM, you try to erase CWM from under CWM....just update your FW to .62, install custom kernel you like and then make all wipes and install zip from sd card)

Yeah, I think the best way is to update to .62, then install b kernel (made by bbooff himself - unlock bootloader needed) then load Hybrom, then you can install any other kernel you like. But I have problem with X kernel with Hybrom, first one is bootloo and then draining batterry very fast ^^"

the rom is based on 0.62 Kernel, upgrade first to 0.62 then try flashing again, i dont know if this makes a difference but its worth a try
I solved my problem and installed Hybrom v12 now.
First, indeed, you need to have unlocked bootloader and .62 firmware, I used WotanClient to flash the firmware. Then I got other kernel, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161 this one.
Then I entered the Clockworkmod Recovery(press power button one-two times, when the screen goes lighter on turning on). Then I followed the instructions from the Hybrom and successfully installed it.
I got WT19i, but should apply the same.
I have a Wt19i with rooted 0.62 stock rom with cwm recovery installed but bootloader is locked. I recently changed the status bar with cwm but i hated it so i want to flash it back but i forgot to make a backup so I want to flash 0.58 again and root it then update it via OTA.
Will the cwm be removed?
Is it bad with locked bootloader with cwm?
Will i use flashtool/seus/pc companion or cwm itself to flash it?
Will it have problems like bootloop or even bricking my phone?

use flashtool to flash .58 stock rom then root then update via OTA again.
CWM will be removed in the process.
is your cwm by naa?

thanks for answering my questions
Can i be sure there will be no boot problems?
i dont think there would be boot problems,
just make sure to wipe dalvik cache and delete all data for a clean install of .58 fw.

Yes, CWM will be removed.
Locked bootloader does not affect CWM at all. You need to unlock only if you want to install custom kernel and/or ROM.
To flash stock firmware, you can use SEUS, Flashtool or Wotanserver.
Chance for a bootloop or bricking is quite low on Android Xperia phones. Although there is chance for some bugs, if you install incorrect firmware via Flashtool.

Yes, you need to lock your bootloader if you want. The method is almost the same as you did to unlock it.
The Bootloader will still be Unlocked (If I'm not Wrong)

okay but there is one little problem more... the sony original rom is a ftf file so do i need to flash the kernel first using fastboot.... as i intend to use the mesa kernel with it.....
correct me if i am wrong this is the steps i would be taking.....
1. flash mesa kernel 1.6 using fastboot
2. select flashmode and then then select the sony ics rom 4.1.b.0.431
3. press the volume down button and flash this rom....
4. power on voila stock rom with custom kernel.....
am i right with this procedure........

while flashing the stock ROM (.ftf), make sure you check 'exclude kernel', then proceed. I'm not sure whether this is the right method to flash custom Kernel and Stock ROM, but afaik, it should work.. If you wanna be more sure, then try going through a few tutorials if you find them, or wait for a more experienced member to correct me if I'm wrong.
And also, I'm not sure of how efficiently stock ICS will work with mesa kernel..
Not claiming to be a more experienced user but...
1.) flash stock rom using flash mode
2.) flash kernel using fastboot mode
Ready.
You can not accidentally relock the bootloader by flashing a rom or kernel.
Sent from my phone.
No you will not relock your bootloader. If you Unlocked via the test point method you never need to relock your bootloader, whoever posted the second post needs to reread your question.
Flash using flashtool the ftf, then before you boot up your stock rom, flash MESA kernel via fastboot and flashtool then boot up for the first time. Done.
well i already flashed the rom.... and mind you never flash the kernel and then the rom(ticking xclude kernel) cuz the flashing stucks at 99%....
always flash rom first bootup and then poweroff and then flash kernel.....
also use bloatware remover removes the blotware and makes the stock rom superfast....... loving it......
although i cant seem to figureout on how to use v6 supercharger though....
ANY HELP ON THAT
THANKS AND TON....
and nvr get afraid while rooting u always get something in the last.... even if its a paperweight

You shouldnt have to bootup before flashing the kernel. It has nothing to do with the actual boot aslong as the kernel is correct for the rom you are trying to boot. If you want a fresh install with MESA kernel then you can flash the kernel in fast boot straight after flashing the ftf with flashtool.
guys i want to install CWM recovery permanently on my xperia sola ICS or GB. after flashing the Official frimware i rooted it and installed CWM recovery 6 and installed Stock based ROM and after installing the ROM my CWM recovery is wiped and again i have to install CWM recovery.

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...

hi all!
after successfully flashing and rooting my neo v i started trying these excellent roms of XDA developers.
so, with locked BL, after installing XPERIA Ultimate HD and Zelly Bean i went for a try on Ice Cream pureness v14.
i guess my mistake was that after a full wipe from CWM i installed the ROM, the neo v patch and the upgrade without any reboot but the last one.
anyway, i am stuck on a bootloop now
can't access CWM (i guess because of system format....(?))
i flashed stock rom with flashtool but still nothing
i am searching for hours to avoid posting such an embarrassing "first post" but i really can't find a solution
thanx in advance!
EDIT : Just managed to recover the phone using Sony Ericsson update service software, turning it back to 4.0.4 stock. So i am going again for root etc. I guess there should be an easier way so if anybody knows it please share.
and if any admin could fix that "rootloop" in the title....
cheers!
Yes, there is an easier way. Unlock your phone bootloader with one of two methods. I would choose testpoint method.
Just some tips: When you flash zip, always do wipe cache/data (don't wipe system like someone does), check that it is for locked bootloader, for Neo V not L or Neo etc. I never had those problems. Anyway, I don't see advantage of those ROMs on locked bootloader except of removing bloatware, which you can do by yourself.
And it is called bootloop not rootloop.

Thanx for tips! I am quite new to all this so I thought unlocked bl would come at the next level. I guess I might go for it sooner.
I know about the rootloop mistake that's why I asked for a correction

I feel like a noob again. My (rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom rom) Neo V is stucked at bootloop. I tried flashing a stock kernel and it just stucked at the Sony logo, Then I flashed a custom kernel and it only light up the screen and nothing happen. Really need help...
I was trying to flash a custom rom and it was telling me to wipe battery stat and cache in advance option

Ok, I flashed the .ftf and I was able to get into CWM, but when I go back and download the stable cm9 from Cyangenmod, It shows status 7 when flashing...
every rom I try to flash, I get status 7, I tried edit the "updater-script" and it just show installation aborted right away.
Flash kernel first and then ROM

Let me clarify this to you first,
CM doesn't work on Locked Bootloader.
So if you're having locked bootloader, there is one way to fix this:
Reflash ICS .ftf & do the whole rooting, installing CWM Recovery procedure again. Go to recovery & install the ROM with instructions stated in ROM thread.
If you have unlocked the bootloader, two ways to solve this problem:
1. Flash any other ICS kernel. Go to recovery, wipe everything except SDCard of course xD
Then power off the phone & flash kernel from CM9 zip. Install CM9.
2. If above doesn't fix the problem, reflash the ICS .ftf again. Flash CM9 kernel & install the zip usual way.
Cheers!

I have unlocked my bootloader lol. Finally I got it back to normal now. I flashed the stock ftf, then update it to a newer firmware to root it. Flash CWM, Follow the instruction on how to flash cm10 (I use cm9) and everything is fine now, but I still want to flash other custom rom...
@Gemichi
If your Bootloader unlocked,you dont need install CWM or root your phone...
What you have to do is just flash kernel which have built-in CWM.
I advice you read again how to flash kernel,I see your post you install CWM,from that I know your bootloader NOT unlocked
