What do you want to use Rom manager for? I don't need to use it at all..
with xperia phones we never use rom manager. its famous for installing cwm, but because xperia phone got cwm integrated into kernel we just need to flash kernel to get cwm, or installing it using xparts for locked bootloader.
Rom manager is for create backups and put name to backup then your phone reboot in cwm and instantly start your backup process, also does the same whit you restore rom.
Also prepares you phone when you install a zip, only open your zip whit rom manager and this open a windows where you can select if wipe cache partition or wipe data... after this reboot your phone and directly install your zip after install zip yor phone reboot in automatic and you avoid select zip from cwm and press down vol kek to enter to this, etc...
Sorry for my bad english.
Greetings
Use xparts!!!!! Its the best and efficient. Make sure phone is rooted though.

The main idea is to restore your framework-res.apk. U can use aroma explorer if you have installed CWM from boot. If u havent, u should unlock your bootloader, there are several methods, i would suggest the unofficial through s1 tool with testpoint. Do you have a custom ROM build, or the official that came with your phone?
Take your battery off, start flashtool, put battery back in DO NOT power up.
Connect to pc when flashtool tells you holding back button.

thanks guys for replying.
but I don't want to unlock bootloader. so I flashed it completely using flash tool. And had to give-up my all app updates. Now working fine...
Install cwm this time, even if your staying on stock, so that if something like this happens again, atleast it's easier to recover without loosing data.

dont forget to wipe the phone before flash the new one
Try using flashtool and downloading generic 4.0.4, if that doesnt work use SEUS as last resource
Download ftf file for your phone and flash it using flashtool.

You should wipe data and cache at first, then install the ROM along with the gapps with it!

That's the first mistake I did. But how do I go into recovery or download mode now? It is stuck in bootloop. Please help me get out of bootloop. Thanks
Go to recovery mode, wipe phone completely ( cache, data, dalvik cache, battery stat if you want to ), then flash your rom. it will be fine
back to cwm again.

Thanks. I just did that. I flashed it but it came back to CWM again.
please help.
after reboot it came back to recovery ? Okay if it so. try these :
1. do as i said earlier + before flashing rom, after wiping phone , go to mounts and storage and formate /system, /data and /cache manually. then flsah rom and reboot.
if this didn't work,
2. then as the first comment on this page says, download ftf file (rom) for your device and flash it via flashtool. all instructions will be given when you'll select to flash ftf . dont worry this will work definitely.
but sorry i haven't asked you earlier, you have locked bootloader or unlocked ? because if you'r using wrong kernel which is not for the rom, you'll get bootloops.if on wrong kernel, try flashing right kernel for your device. good luck
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.

Hi everyone, I've searched over the forum but did not find any thread... Can any one explain how to flash cwm recovery into a SK17i xperia mini pro?
I've downloaded ROM MANAGER from store but it says "unsupported device" or something like that when I click on "flash cwm". Should I keep trying with rom manager even if it says that? I think maybe it is not safe...
What is the better way to flash cwm? Actually, I dont know anyothers ways...
Thanks for the answers and sorry for my english.
Edit: what about x-parts app? I think it can flash cwm too, but it says something like "if you delete system partition cwm will dissappear". I really dont know what it means, maybe is a standard warning message, but I'm a total noob.
The reason why I want cmw recovery is to make a backup of my current rom (stock .62) in order to be able to change roms and make experiments without risk.

You can install recovery from x-parts since it supports our phone but rom manager doesn't support....and the other thing means that if u wipe /system partition....ur recovery will be gone but if u install a rom which has recovery in the /system partition then cwm won't be lost...and don't worry, it's completely safe to install cwm via x-parts...

Hey guys. I have a Xperia Arc S and I really wanted to install this ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207 ). But I don't know how to install custom rom. My phone is rooted I guess. I root my phone with Eroot (link - http://d-h.st/NUC). After that I installed root checker pro and it said your phone has been rooted successfully. 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?
