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...

Well, I have a SE Xperia Mini ST-15. I've just downloaded X-Parts app and installed CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 (My phone is in GB 2.3.3)
I have some problems with SD partition softwares in my PC, so I tried to partition my SD using CWM, but then I realized that this CWM version doesn't have that option in the "advanced" menu.
And my question is... Do I have to unlock my bootloader and install the original CWM to get access to that option? Or why isn't that option there?
(Just a noob looking for help and knowledge, thank you )
Sorry, can't really answer you, but also have a X10 mini pro with installed x-parts and lots of problems
Tried to install the CWM upgrade to be able to flash edified files but then it makes stop the CWM to boot at all! Without the upgrade edified files are not flashed, so I can't fix my keyboard layout.... :crying: could any x-parts developer help?

I tried, but noone is responding :/ so am trying everything I can, sorry.
why don't you...
why don't you use your PC to partition your SD?
and i'm sure that if you google the original CWM .apk you can download it on you pc, then put it on your phone and install the older version

You don't need to unlock Bootloader for installing recovery, but need to be rooted. Just try the below link. let me know the result

Hmm, I am quite new to this, so maybe that's why I don't know how the partition should help? And then should I install the older version of CWM on it? Why older? I thought I need newer to support edified files?

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.

Hey guys.
I have SE live with walkman, bootloader unlocked, i flashed kernel with root and cwm (mesa/EXtended Stock Kernel v2)
when i try to flash a rom i have an error ''cant mount sdcard''. i have no idea what can be wrong with my phone. i tried everythng, downgrade cwm, flashing other kernels - still nothing.
If anyone here know what it is, please answer. I spend whole week for search solution..
greets,
I think the best you can do is to go back to Stock, rom and kernel, try cwm there, if there is any problem with sdcard, format it and try again. I hope this can Help you

question is there is cmw or other recovery on stock kernel?
Yes!
Yeah you must install it after flashing stock tft, you can do it with an app from Play store called X-parts or you can do it manually look for it in the forum

I hope that installation with this app will be easier, but can i have root to do this?
You must have root to install CWM
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.

Sadly didn't work, it says that my phone didn't pass the compability test so what's now? When i look for it on google play it says "your device isn't compatible with this version" but it installed succefully on my device running originally 2.3.6 with generic kitkat rom in 4.4.2 is there any method to do it in odin at least? Or custom kernel would be better? Answers will be appreciated.
No way to change it, also the risk is extreme i don't wanna brick my device, even i installed a custom kernel from odin, it showed "PASS" and my phone restarted and appeared the samsung logo later it turned off and restarted again and later the screen kept in white and i did need to get back to the old kernel
Anyway flash the stock recovery it's impossible to do.

You know that without cwm recovery u can't flash custom roms & kernals.
Pleas clear that which recovery u want stock recovery or cwm recovery?
And why?
Then I can easily guide or help u.
Best regards.
I want to change stock recovery to cwm recovery. I want cwm permanently no temporal, i know the zip file it's temporal but i want it permanent! I don't know how my phone did install "Compact" kernel with stock recovery and not with cwm i've had to do it that way 'cause odin didn't work and my phone got bricked
Can i install cwm permanent on samsung galaxy young duos? (S6102B)
I'll be very grateful if somebody could explain me!
The reason why i want cwm permanent and why i want it it's because i don't want to enter in recovery and see always the limited stock recovery with just 4 options
