Hi All,
I was wondering if CWM - Clockwork Mod Recovery is available for Sony Xperia Sola.
I have have unlocked the phone`s bootloader and then rooted the phone using following guidelines!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029756&page=1
So basically(as I have interpreted through common senes), my phone has the 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock kernel on it, with the work around that I have used as in above thread to root my phone.
Does the support for CWM comes with custom kernel only?
Besides, I installed ROM Manager but I cant` get CWM - Clockwork Mod Recovery as it searched through web it can`t get one, so I was anxious to know if the Phone even supports CWM or I am at wrong somewhere!!
Looking forward to listen from you guys!!

Yes it does support CWM recovery you have to flash it with a custom kernel or a stock kernel which has CWM recovery support..

Thanks for the reply soulhackereborn.
Since you are actually using a Sony Xperia Sola, could you please let me know link and steps to burn the stock ROM with CWM Support.
Currently as earlier mentioned, my phone has been rooted by me after unlocking the bootloader.
Also, I have a query, that after flashing the phone with stock rom having CWM support, will my data be lost as in installed applications(specially the ones I installed explicitly).
Looking forward for your reply.

Try installing that on my Unlocked bootloader with Stock kernel.
Installed using Admistrative privelage and everything worked.
However, I am not able to enter the CWM Mode at all,
Tried everything from power+ vol- button,
Tapping on screen after phone starts before vibrate and then tapping once more :/
Let me know, screenshot if any of Sony Xperia sola, when in CWM Mode. And working method to enter the CWM Mode.
Thanks and Regards,
Don't hold Vol down, but keep pressing several times should work

I tried your case many time...try just wipe data/factory reset

Sorry for my bad English...
Just download compatible night elf or other kernel. Flash it in fastboot and reboot.
There is nothing wrong with ROM no need to keep wiping it.
I'm not sure which kernel my neo is having as i have tried various things in last one month. How do i find it out (Sorry i'm a beginner here)

Generally it is in about phone in settings but as you are not able to load up any ROM i suggest just flash one to make sure you are on right kernel.

hi ankurvij,
by which method you root your neo v if it is DoomLoRD's toolkit then it roots your phone with locked bootloader
to my knowledge Team Xperia SE.TWEAKED V1 is for unlocked bootloader only correct me if i'm wrong
you won't install custom ROM but can install Stock ROM
i've tried the same thing after rooting DoomLoRD's toolkit same error as yours

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544273
I had similar problems when I put a rom with an inappropriate kernel. But for this you must have the bootloader open
Yes, i used DoomLoRD's toolkit .. i will give a try to ICS Now

Cant you enter into flashmode????
Question
Need More details:
1)Locked or Unlocked Bootloader?
2)Which stock kernel you flashed? Downloaded from?
3)[If Locked Bootloader] Can you enter xrecovery? If can, make full wipe, clear cache partition, install new ROM via "install custom zip from SDcard.
4)[If Unlocked Bootloader] Try flash some custom Kernel for Unlocked bootloader like DooMKernel, see whether it reach recovery mode or not.
Sincerely,

Dude, you have indeed provided very less info. Looks like you have soft-bricked your phone. This same thing had happened to me few days back. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.

Some roms need unlocked bootloaders like sense port rom... Xperia hd I am guessing as ultimate hd rom...it doesn't need unlocked bl... make sure you follow all steps like wiping etc... for roms like sense port or cyanogen you will need to unlock bl...

I believe, the ROMS you flashed were Stock kernel based and hence it worked.
To try different custom ROMS which are based on custom kernels, u need a unlocked BOOTLOADER.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms based on custom kernels.

Dude plz tell me the steps for installing unofficial roms. And tell me why it goes to bricked and 1 more thing that i installed official rom ics 4.0.4 through flash tool
Unlock with testpoint if you do not want to break your DRM: androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
Then download Flashtool (Google, it is first link). Put custom rom zip anywhere on sd card. Extract boot.img from zip and put it on desktop or anywhere on hdd. Download gapps 20121011 from goo.im. Connect phone in fastboot mode (hold right menu key while plugging USB and led should be blue). Press lighting button and select fastboot mode. Flash kernel (browse to boot.img). Reboot phone and keep pressing volume down until recovery mode shows up. Do full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache). Then select install zip from file. Install ROM and then gapps then reboot. Some ROMs may require reboot again in recovery before installing gapps. First boot can take a while so be patient. If you still don't get it, read pinned topics, for some ROMs there is also quick tip how to do install. Good luck.

Sam,
You need unlocked BL for flashing custom ROMs. Its obvious you also should have ROOT and CWM installed(I believe you do have these already )
1)Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader( IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED) if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms which are based on custom kernels.
2) If BL status is YES --> Try to unlock it.. 2 ways are there
1.Sony Official method CLICK HERE (You lose DRM values, warrenty is VOID)--> i unlocked my mobile officially
2.Unofficial TEST point method (Nothing to lose, but manual work needed) --> my mobile dint support this way since it was manufactured in 12w15 and official unlock is only way.
LINK TO BOOTLOADER UNLOCK THREAD I strongly recommend you to read the Bootloader thread first to understand what it is actually.
after unlocking by the any of the ways, you can flash ROMS and kernels of your wish..

so can any expert tell me that how to install jelly bean ROM or unofficial rom
with easy or what i does wrong in above step
and tell me that is kernel is responsible for this or not????????
please help me i want to taste JELLY BEAN
what is the difference between 4.1.b.0.431 and 4.1.B.0.587 in flash tool file and which is require to clearified my above problem HELp Me PlEaSe !!!!!!!!!!
Of course. You didn't read my post, did you? Kernel (usually named boot.img) is in zip of every custom rom. I described you how to flash kernel with Flash Tool. It is not the same procedure as on Galaxy phone where all work can be done from cwm. You should see e.g. FreeXperia logo if you have flashed CyanogenMod and appropiate kernel.
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Neo V mit Tapatalk 2
If all done like root boot unlock etc.. Yu can install any room that is developed for yur phne..
Steps:
First, Install kernel of the Rom(boot.img) from the custom Rom zip (extract boot.img to yur pc) thrugh fastbootmode using flash tool.
Then boot, and try entering CMW mode and flash corresponding Rom..
Also make sure u clear the cache and things that have been told in the Rom installion procedure.

On what rom are you? Since you have unlocked flash a kernel which supports your rom.... Then you will get cwm... Then you can flash some font zip to try getting back your rom...or go back to stock with flashtool but you will lose your data this way...

You can backup all your data using Backup&Restore app.
To flash a custom rom you need root access and cwm (Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. Also, don't use cwm from another device except sola; Some root methods are universal but you have to take a look if they support sola and ics too)
Once you root your device, you can install cwm.
Once you installed cwm, you download the rom you want to flash (always be sure that's is for sola and not for other devices) and you flash it via cwm (to enter in cwm, press the volume down button once you see during the boot the Sony Logo; You have to press continuously the volume down button for 4-6 times.)
Before flashing the rom, in cwm, you have from the cwm menu, to wipe cache, dalvik cache(advanced menu) and personal data.
Notice also that if your bootloader is locked, you can only flash roms based on ics and gb, not those based on jb. (unlocking the bootloader, you will make you loose your warranty).
For any further help let me know.

i have a Sony Xperia Sola with the Firmware .10 and i wanted to know if there is any way to flash directly from this firmware to a custom rom, and is it possible to backup my things such as SMS history to get this right over in the new ROM?
Thx for all your answers.

Lots of backup apps on Google Play also if it's not a stock based ROM you are going to flash.
Ok thx y´all, but one last question. Can i flash CyanogenMod from FXP with my old firmware?
MfG RammsteinCyan
Yes, you can. Always read the first post in thread of rom you want to use. You'll find all answers on your questions.

Depends bro. On my old Xperia U i remember that i had to flash the latest version of the official fw (because of some modem's drivers update) before flashing the latest FXP release.
Take a look at it
Thats why I wrote read the op, everything is there.
