Hi. I have Xperia Go with unlocked bootlader.
I installed Recovery. CWM. For the first few times I got in recovery menu by pressing volume down button while booting.
Now I can't get in the menu. But the recovery is working. (I Checked using Titanium Backupp and Pimp My Rom)
In pimp my rom, this app can install Sony Bravia Engine 2 and other flashalbe zip file without getting into recovery menu.
So I'm pretty sure I can do that using some app. Help please?
There is a way but you need root explorer but i dont know how to install it without CWM Recovery
Use Google ^^

Okay so im new to this and i have been working all day on trying to get my vibrant modded a little .. My earlier thread shows that i had some trouble and finally got it back to its factory settings .
Now I have upgraded to 2.2 and i rooted it using super one click rooting because I cannot root with an update.zip because I get a signature verification failure. But I realized i need to do this anyways to run a rom even using rom manager ..
So i tried to install 3e recovery installer which is suppose to override this but for some reason it fails to install. It says checking for root: and it fails.
Someone seemed to have the same problem in a different thread and said they deleted some bloatware with terminal emulator but i used termaninal backup (or something like that) to delete some bloatwares but this still did not fix the problem for me.
What is my problem? And what lag fix can i use for my vibrant when i get all this to work?
Fastest way to obtain root :
1. is to flash stock JFD rom (use AIO tools.
2. flash Clockwork recovery through Rom manager (get it from market)
3. Flash any rooted rom (with Voodoo lagfix) through CWM.
And most important thing, if you don't know what you are doing with your phone don't do anything.

i thought you needed root to flash recovery from rom manager...
anyways, my method of rooting is to use the recovery 3e to 2e batch (dont wanna call it an install cause it doesnt install really) and then flash a root update.zip from the 2e recovery you just flashed.
what may be happening to your 3e 2e thing is that you might of forgotten to enable usb debugging... you do this by going in the menu>applications>development>usb debugging on
make sure the phone is plugged in to the computer and debug is on and run 3e to 2e...
then get ahold of a root update.zip and rename it update.zip, put it on the root of your internal sd card (\mnt\sdcard\) and go into recovery (power phone off, hold vol up and down buttons and then hold power button at the same time until you see the vibrant boot screen. when you get into recovery, hit reinstall packages.
sorry for the wall of text; hope this helps.

You are right, I was rooting my device couple of months ago, I forgot that for CWM you have to obtain root first.
My memory is good but short
Hi guys! I had installed CWM Recovery this morning, but after wiping and installing this rom I can't boot in recovery anymore and I don't like this rom..
My phone has locked bootloader. Now, i have this room working, but if I install X-Parts it says that my phone is not supported
Any ideas? I triyng to fix it since 04.00pm and I can't solve it!
Help please
flashing a rom wipes your system partition which wipes your recovery. because you haven't flashed a kernel that includes a recovery. x parts installs recovery mode to your system partition. There's a CWM flashable zip for the recovery in themes and apps section. download it first. You can open that zip and copy the files in to your device. then you can have a recovery.
Remember to flash that zip whenever you flash another rom before exiting recovery mode.
or use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190

sk17i CWM
Hi all,
After spending 1 week and trying most methods to install CWM on my Xperia x10 sk17i without any success, the only method that worked was downloading and installing CWM auto installer.apk on my phone.
Thank you for all those posting comments on XDA to help others.
Is there any way to uninstall a recovery mod? I install ROM manager app and it says there are 2 installed recovery mods. CWM and TWRP. I want to remove TWRP. How can I do? It also shows that we need to update both mods but even if i ask it to update its not updating any of the mod. Can anyone help?
You can have only One recovery installed at a time. More than one is not possible. Must be an error.

Hi You can flash the stock rom via SP Tools and then flash the TWRP recovery via SP tool it will remove all other recovery and only one TWRP recovery will be there. After that you can flash whichever Custom Rom you want.
Press Thanks If I Helped You...........

Dude power off your CHD. Now press volume down then volume up then power button. Now it will start booting into recovery and now press volume u now check which recovery you currently have if its CWM then leave it no problem. If its anything else and you want it to be replaced by CWM then download mobile uncle tools from playstore. Go to recovery update place the CWM image in the root and select this file. Your phone will boot and now you will have CWM installed.
If you don'y understand the process. Then check my guide on how to root + cwm noob friendly.
Hit thanks if i've helped.
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?

Hi im hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my phone using the easy root method, I had philz dual recovery and flashed a rom. I installed superSU from the play store (when I should have flashed it) and now I can't access my recovery. I've tried rerooting and reflashing using all three methods for installing the recovery and none are working. Does anyone have a solution to this, I've got a backup of my stock rom etc. but I cant access it or recover it without a recovery. Im pretty much lost on this, I posted in the recovery thread but it didnt get answered.

When you flash a rom when using a recovery for locked bootloaders then it deletes the recovery
You have to reinstall your recovery

Thanks for the reply. I've tried doing that but it won't work, I dont know if it has something with Superuser? it says it cant update the binaries. Either way I've tried all 3 options on the process to install the recover (install with SuperSU, Install with SuperUser and install on unrooted rom)

I've tried but I didnt work I have firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 I dont know if thats the problem. I dont know if im actually rooted, I can grant apps superuser access but i downloaded a rootchecker and it says I'm not. When I try to root using doomlords its fine until the service menu bit, the screen doesnt blink and put me back to the menu it just lets me into the screen I pressed.

heres the link for NUTs download page, http://nut.xperia-files.com/ file your looking for is
Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip (10.59MB)
this appears to be the latest version and is 17th link from the bottom of the right hand list
the flashable zip is just left of the installer
It should mean if u install a new rom and lose recovery just run the installer from windows and it should give u back recovery

Thanks, unfortunately thats what I have been using to try and regain recovery. Any other ideas? Im really struggling, I thought maybe if I unrooted and just re-rooted correctly it might help but I can't find an FTF file for my network I can only find unbranded which I very much doubt would work.
anyone?
I'm in the exact same position. I flashed monx 438 rom and I don't know what happened, I can't get into recovery either. I'm on unlocked bootloader. I have tried flashing the boot.img from 438 advanced stock kernel but at the command prompt it keeps on saying waiting for device. I have root access.
Same here.
I have a stock .402 ROM, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Have flashed the recovery a few times, and still cant get into it. Even when trying to access recovery via cmd prompt "adb reboot recovery"
I too am in the same boat... I rooted my phone, primarily to add the kitkat sd card fix, which works...
Then I went through the motion of unlocking bootloader, which I assume worked cos it wiped my phone clean. Had to reinstall everything...
Then I went through the motion of installing Cwm recovery. This went through OK. Well according to the command prompt it did.
But still I can't access recovery. I get no flashing LED lights before the Sony logo comes up, and then it just boots into normal phone mode.
I am on UK 3 network if it makes any difference......
I'd really love to be able to access my recovery cos I'm dying to apply the dual speaker and volume hack....
Don't know where to go from here..........
Just to add, I flashed to firmware 402 (uk unbranded) and re-rooted the phone and re-installed cwm recovery, but I get no led lights and no recovery mode. Oh well, just like a number one hit for 'the who', it was never meant to be....lol
sorry to resurrect but I have the same issue. how did you guys get back into recovery
I use a kernel with recovery
Vol up - cwm
Vol down - twrp
Cam key - philz
I can't flash kernol because I can't get into recovery even using the app to force boot
