too stupid to get into CWM touch on a U - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

have installed this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948455&page=10
can't get into CWM.
either ends up in safe mode (?! which is bad, it messed up loads of settings) or just boots normally.
have tried pressing button repeatedly and holding. Volume Down.
any ideas please? clearly too stupid for this.

utilis to reboot into recovery e.g. quick boot, or the button in rom customizer, don't work either.
any way to check if cwm installed?

locked bl?
would rather not mess with kernel that ran really badly when i was rooting.

Try tapping on Sony logo when booting.

When sony logo appears,repeatedly press the volume down button until cwm recovery appears.
Hope this helps.

yeah i think that's what i'm doing. Sony logo or Xperia logo? do you let go at the vibrate or before? how fast do you tap?
holding too long just puts you into Safe Mode and breaks my widgets and some other things!

Good news! You installed recovery correctly, but in order to enter recovery, you must mash the volume down button as soon as Sony logo appears.
You must tap it really fast!!!
Hit thanks button if I helped you :good:

i'll try that later thanks.
can no apps get you into Recovery on Xperia ICS? always how i did it with my Blade/G300.. even have a reboot to recovery option on shutdown menu in CM7. saves any hassle with timing etc.
i was pressing VolDown pretty fast.

Sorry mister, but no shortcut from OS to CWM working on locked BL with Xperia U AFAIK

its ROM dependent.

i don't know. i was asking if the way to access CWM in ICS/b.54 would be different than other roms, perhaps explaining why i can't access CWM?
just found Cerberus as root needs to be installed from zip using CWM (or complicated console method), so another reason to get this working!
thanks

nope. all the same

Led bar turning on during charging is very annoying, especially when I'm trying to use the phone at night. Using quiet hours doesn't switch it off, anybody know any other way to switch it off? Other then that I love this rom, sooo smooth and the customisation is endless.

Repeatedly pressing vol down while the phone is showing sony logo will get you into recovery. itll vibrate and the led bar will show illumination.try reflashing cwm if its not working

thanks i'll try again tonight, not my phone which is making things difficult, i can't play with it whenever i like..

nope, still can't do it. phone boots like this:
flash from light bar > SONY > XPERIA > screen dims > light bar > lockscreen
when exactly do you press, and how fast?
UPDATE : SOLVED, wasn't installed right

1.Turn off your phone
2.Reboot it back
3.The first Sony Ericsson should show up,don't waste your energy to press the volume rocker (down) button
4.When the boot animation played,press the volume rocker button several time until you enter the Clockwork Mod Recovery OR wait until the blue led appear (which only around 2 seconds I think) and press the volume rocker button several time until you entered the CWM Recovery

Doesn't matter how many times you click it, once is enough, but you can more also.
I always, when restarting, I do other stuff while clicking the volume down button rapidly, too lazy to wait.
nothing works except xparts... Help!
Okay I rooted my LWW with stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and installed CWM through xparts.
I can boot into CWM through xparts, create backup and also have flashed it back.
But the problem is, I can boot into CWM only through xparts. I tried manually as explained above (pressing volume down key and when it didn't work, tried the volume up key too) but nothing works. Every time I try, it boots into system and I've to go through xparts to boot in CWM.
My concern is I'm afraid to install any custom ROM's now. If my phone gets stuck in boot loop, I won't be able to boot into system and hence no xparts and no CWM.
How to have a full fledged recovery CWM, like I had in HTC Pico/Explorer(A310e) which could be booted through it's fastboot menu.
Please help, I'll definitely press thanks.
Have you tried installing a custom kernel? Flash your specified kernel through flashtool and boot to CWM via the button. As soon as you see the Sony sign continuously press the volume down key.
Hope this helps

hey do u have cwm installed? have u flashed custom kernel? or advanced stock kernel, if yes then you just need to do is press volume up @ sony screen, when @ sony screen (assuming you have installed advanced ics), it will vibrate and have a led light then press the volume up.
if you havent installed i guess you need to do some reading on how to unlock and install custom kernel.

If you have unlocked the bootloader, than download advanced ics kernel fastboot image, not the zip for cwm.. Then flash it in fastboot mode.. Then restart and enter recovery..

I've flashed many of my older Xperia devices and I don't know what went wrong. I thought maybe the kernel but the backup takes the kernel too, no? I'm flashing ICS with the flasher, re-root et. but I'm just tyring to figure out what went wrong.
THANK YOU It's working

Works 100% on sola, no problems?

[Q] Boot in Recovery Mode (With Broken Volume Down)

Someone Help Me Please!! I'm Begging.
I was able to Root my phone and install CWM Recovery.
I flashed a certain ROM and I accidentally choose the step for Unlocked Bootloaders, then I got a boot loop.
My volume down button is broken so I can't boot into recovery thru hard buttons.
Is there any other way to Boot into Recovery Mode? I already tried using ADB Commands, it doesn't work for me. Though I tried ADB with other phone and worked.
My phone is an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i.
Stuck in SONY Logo
My phone can't even get thru the Xperia Logo.
Just the SONY. Please Help Me!
I feel hopeless already. :crying:
My frnd also had exactly the same problem. He is using Xperia ray .he told he could enter in recovery mode by repeatedly pressing home button.
Try and let me know.

The home button doesn't work for me. I guess it doesn't work on SK17i. :crying:

When I bricked my phone ADB was the first thing that comes to my mind since my volume down is broken. But ADB can't detect my device and whenever I plug it thru USB it just reboot the phone on the SONY logo. Nothing happens and not a single ADB Command works.
I hope someone can give me an alternative. Or is there something that I miss?

Well I m not sure about what I am advising
My friend can boot into recovery using home button for sure, maybe it depends on kernel (or the recovery version) too. So why not flash a different kernel (which includes recovery :: almost all custom kernels have that, not the stock one) using fastboot mode and then give it a try.
I also found the following command
fastboot reboot -bootloader
although it didn't worked on my xperia Ray (assuming bootloader here refers booting into recovery)
Try using Lupus V6 i am using it right now and i checked it. it can enter CWM with home button as well with volume up button. don't forget to thank dev(singh_dd93 & wedgess) if hi helped you.
edit: sorry man i partly miss lidded you. only home button takes you to CWM. volume up takes you to TWRP.
Boot to recovery using hardware keyboards down arrow key

Someone Help Me Please!! I'm Begging.
I was able to Root my phone and install CWM Recovery.
I flashed a certain ROM and I accidentally choose the step for Unlocked Bootloaders, then I got a boot loop.
My volume down button is broken so I can't boot into recovery thru hard buttons.
Is there any other way to Boot into Recovery Mode? I already tried using ADB Commands, it doesn't work for me. Though I tried ADB with other phone and worked.
My phone is an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i.

Dude just flash stock.ftf
Then root it
Flash custom ics kernel (included cwm in all kernel)
Then using xposed modules add advanced reboot menu
And then choose reboot to recovery
And i don't think we need volume buttons in whole process
