HI,
I have an xperia sola and I want to install CWM in it. I have unlocked the bootloader and its on ICS stock and its rooted.
The problem is I heard you can't install CWM in SOLA unless you have a custom kernel installed. Is it true. Is there any way to install custom rom without having CWM

I am using Stock kernel. NO, I haven't used it as many said you can't use cwm unless you have a custom kernel

Hi dears!
I would like to know if I can install and Custom rom or a kernel to overlock my Xperia Neo, with CMW and locked bootloader.
Thanks for your time guys
Kind Regards,
Ghafit
you can install a custom rom(rom should be converted to recovery image file) , but kernel cannot be installed on locked bootloader...
so, with stock kernel for example, can I install CM7, do you recommend that to me?
Nope, don't try that... you need a custom kernel for CM7 or MIUI roms.
and there aren't anymore nice custom roms with stock kernel?

do you recommend me to install that ROM?
yes you can try that but , users with locked bootloader when installed this rom face SU binary problems & wifi not working....(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281489&page=36)
NOTE : it is not the problem of rom , works perfectly on unlocked BL
Rooted the phone using flashtool, then installed clockworkmod recovery using Xperia CWM-Auto. Flashed HYBROM 16, and then lost root access as well the recovery. Any Advice on how to get root acces back?
maybe u take a wrong step.
never heard such problem.
u should use custom kernel with root n cwm feature like rage kernel, x kernel, etc....
just try it again from beginning.

Hybrom requires custom kernel, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel or Kernel by bbooff.
These kernels already include Recovery also.
And that ROM already has root access.

Yup..u should install custom kernel..
My advice go for bbooff kernel if u want to install Hybrom..
to check whether u have root access or not just check the superuser app in ur phone..

From sola android development section you can find custom kernels with autoroot script and cmw integrated since your bootloader is unlocked.
Here are some links for kernels based on stock ics:

it depend on the custom rom you want to flash it is usually stated whether you can use any recovery or a certain one(xrecovery or cwm) in the requierement of the rom. so you won't be able to install certain rom unless you have xrecovery but then again that depend on the rom. so. which custom gingerbread rom do you want to use
Hello guys..

Try flashing vengeance kernel

No bro,i rooted,later flash kernel and after i build ultimate hd..
Do you know how to unistall custom rom without lose root and kernel?
restore is the only option I know
If you 1. have taken a backup and 2. have the kernel image<boot.img> you want on your device, then you can 1. flash a kernel with cwm<vengeance kernel for mt11i>, 2. restore the backup and 3. flash the required kernel<boot.img>.
