wt19i does not have a built in recovery like the samsung phones.
you have to install it.
if you have root already, then proceed to this thread and follow instructions.

browse the last few pages of that thread, i believe somebody has got it working.

Unless you're talking about CWM recovery (keep pressing repeatedly volume down when you see Sony logo, until you enter CWM), there's also a so called 'safe mode', check this thread.

You can't install cyanogenmod before you have unlocked your bootloader. You can unlock by official sony method for developers (look in my signature for a guide) or by testpoint method. Otherwise you can't install a rom for unlocked bootloader because you aren't able to flash a kernel boot.img.
When your bootloader is unlocked, in most custom kernels cwm is integrated
Don't try to flash a rom for unlocked bootloader on a locked bootloader, otherwise your device will brick and you will have to flash the original firmware with flashtool!
Ah btw to install cwm on ics you must have rooted ics (you can't root ics like gingerbread firmware .42, you will have to do it like this) and then you can download the x-parts app from playstore which can automaticly install cwm
I rooted device and have X-Parts.
Installed Recovery 5.5.0.4 by pvyParts.
I am able to restart in recovery mode.
Do I understand it right?
Even if I have recovery installed I won't be able to install CM or other ROM with locked bootloader?

You can install roms especially made for locked bootloader, like ics based "real ics lite" or "MiniCMSandwich". There are some MIUI rom's around here, too, but stock rom is the smoothest

These are the apps on your sdcard. Be sure you have ca 1,5 gb of free storage on your sdcard when you start the backup. The size depends on how many apps are installed/etc but 1,5 should be good to be on the safe side

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.

if u want to update your device using seus u have to first relock your boot loader if u unlocked it before or u can also flash stock rom using flash tool (no relock required in flashtool software) if u want to install custom rom first flash custom kernel you will see the suggestion when u r downloading custom rom from the thread and after flashing kernel go into cwm and do factory reset + cache wipe. after that install zip from sd car (rom zip)

I wouldn't do it with the kernel to flash, cause if something goes wrong you have the ray kernel on mini pro and you will have to try to unlock bootloader and flash other kernel. I would just flash the ftf file for .42 and root, run local-prop and upgrade to ics and run push-root-files.

Okay, have you got latest flashtool installed? Please install all drivers for all phones and modes from flashtool installation folder -> drivers.
Turn phone off, take off battery, insert battery, hold volume down, connect usb, flash stock rom!
That should work, try it again.
Be sure the custom rom you flash is same as the base you used before. I mean if you flash an ics custom rom, you have to be on ics before, same on gingerbread

Please read this!!!
People with locked bootloaders please read this
u have installed a recovery mode (using x-parts or any other methods) to your system partition. When u flash a rom, it formats system partition. so u can't go back to recovery until u bootup and install it again. to get a permanent recovery, u have to unlock bootloader and flash a kernel that have a recovery mode (it's getting installed to your boot partition). so it won't get wiped by a rom flash.
Hello ravin
You gave us the reason, and a solution for unlocked bootloaders... The question is that the problem happens in locked ones.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
There are plenty of roms for Locked Bl, so it is just a questionvof method with the Cwm installation.

I tried to install Iced Bean 2.1 on my Sony Xperia Ray st18i (4.1.b.0.587)
I pressen on x-Parts and went to Recoverymode (by pressing Vol. Down + Home)
After I got into this mode ( which was new to me ) I pressed on every clear button and
went to advanced and formatted everything except my sd... kinda stupid i know
but I done this because I though it have to be to be a full wipe or smth like this.
Then I quitted the mode and tried to turn on the phone to go to ROM manager and
use the backup from Iced Bean 2.1 but then I checked I formatted the system *facepalm*
All I can do is now turn on and stare on the SONY logo.
Could you guys help me pls ?

flash stock sony firmware via flashtool...if you dont know how, there are several tutorials in this forum
or unlock your bootloader and flash a kernel with build in recovery like vds kernel for example. than you can install the backup of iced bean via that recovery and you cant wipe that recovery
You may want to flash your phone back to stock rom if you desire..
All you need is ftf and flashtool
you can download stock rom ftf here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36177572&postcount=1

Ftf files don't need an unlocked bootloader. & to flash ftf he will go to flashmode not "fastboot".
Press thnx if I helped.

Flashing a different kernel is a good idea too, but you need an unlocked bootloader. Then you flash it in fastboot mode
