Are you on stock kernel? Have you flashed a custom kernel (with a recovery) or did you install it with xparts? You have to press volume down when the notification led lights up (or just press volume down again and again)
I'm on Stock Kernel

I'm on Stock Kernel
I've just updated the GB (2.3.4) to ICS (4.0.4) using Flashtool (for keeping phone rooted)
I've never entered recovery mode and in fact I don't no how to do that
Tried to press it over and over, keep pressing it from the begining, start pressing (or keeping pressed) when it shows XPERIA logo and blablabla
None would work
It just vibrates and brings up the safemode

If you used xparts on locked bootloader then just keep on pressing the volume rockers and touch the Sony logo simultaneously. Then you will be into CWM.

U sure that u have installed recovery?( Via xparts or other)
Coz the stock kernel or rom by otself doesn't have a recovery.

I need to know how to install the stockkernel ( romk0la ) on my rooted Neo V BOOTLOADERLOCK , I have the latest Flashtool installed and drivers and how can I have my phone in the fastboot mode .
thanks in advance
No need to boot into fastboot mode for flashing stock kernel, just flash it from flashtool then boot your phone to flashmode, press and hold power + back button then connect your phone to pc, hold it till green led appear.

i have download this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
but how can i start the CWM recovery?
Volume down at start dosen´t work
Start your phone (it will vibrate)
Press then release the power button (repeat until you see the logo gets brighter)
The first line in the menu is reboot, if you keep on pressing power button(see controls) your phone will reboot.
To navigate (Controls):
Move Up = Volume Up
Move Down = Volume Down, Menu
Back = Back
Enter/Accept = Power Button, Home key
I have installed the older version, then this new version. Now I have two recovery. I can use the volume down method and power button method. I prefer volume down to enter recovery (older version, I like the controls better)
Hello the power button methode dont work on this kernel :-/
i have now installed the cwm installer from market there work the volume dowm methode

I don't understand why would it not work with power button with your phone (working with mine). To enter cwm that was included on this kernel you need to use power button. The original poster even wrote:

Have you tried this kernel? Because I can enter cwm using power button method clearly describe by the op/creator of the kernel.
I have a stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed on my xperia P handset. I wanted to install the custom rom CM 11 on my xperia. So I first rooted my handset using Doomlord Easy rooting toolkit. Then I copy pasted the custom Roms zip file in the internal storage. Then in order to install the custom rom I need to boot into the recovery mode of xperia P.
So I first tried using Quick Boot but it goes on rebooting to the regular jelly bean OS and doesn't enter the recovery mode.
Could anyone guide me which step I actually missed for installing the custom rom. If a perfect guide is provided I would be very grateful.
press power button + vol up button for 5 seconds... it will vibrate 1 time.. it will reboot.now keep pressing vol down key or power button ((because in some kernel key is different.)) key until it displays a menu in blue fonts.it's clockworkmod recovery.:good:

I tried doing the steps as guided by you. On pressing the volume up key and the power button it vibrates 1 time then I kept on pressing the power button. So then the phone booted in safe mode again and again and then when I stopped pressing the power button the phone booted normally again in Jelly Bean. Is there any problem with unlocking the bootloader. I have received a key for unlocking the bootloader on my GMail account when I requested it on the sony's website.
did u tried with volume down key to enter recovery..? u said that u wanna install cyanogenmod ..so u need a custom kernel which can be found in same zip file of rom named 'boot.img'.& & a custom kernel needs unlocked bootloader. if u have to unlock your bootloader ..u have to search ..it's very easy and can be found on this forum,too(( if not pm me i'll send detailed steps.)).& yes,u are gonna need that key which you received to unlock bootloader .
u can always use ( fast boot ) to flash cm11
it`s better and best ......
any ways u could inter recovery mood by pressing volm+ 2 time`s after the phone vibration ....when sony log show...
its always work
If you installed CMW, to enter it I push about 10 or 15 times, while the phone is turning on, until it loads the cmw

If u wanna help at least write it the right way...
For CWM, turn on phone, when it first shows the Sony logo start pressing various times (Volume - ) key (don't push one time and keep the finger on the key!!) until it enters cwm recovery.

For me it works only with Volume '+'
In CM11 zip, u have the boot.img... flash it using fastboot (doesn't work on Windows 8 or 8.1), then u'll have the CM11 kernel... turn on the phone and when it is starting, it'll vibrate when showing sony logo, just tap the power button when vibrates and will enter in CWM, then just follow the tutorial in CM11 topic.
so what's the right way to reboot in recovery mode? I've this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2626639

I got same problem to reboot in CWM mode. Following all recommendations in this thread. Did not work.
However when coming back to one of the Xperia Phone instructions to reboot in CWM, I tried again to follow those instructions given by following links :
Sony Xperia P CyanogenMod 11 Project page Thread on xda-developers https://sites.google.com/site/androdevlinux/xperia-p/xperia-p-roms/cm11-download/
Here are extracts which I strictly followed :
First time flashing CyanogenMod 11.0 your device, or coming from another ROM? You need to be on Unlocked bootloader
Fastboot kernel(boot.img) from the rom zip
Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery
Format data and cache
Flash the Zip
Reboot
The "Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery" is really the trick to enter CWM mode ....
i installed a custom rom, but due to some reason it hasnt installed properly and not letting me access settings. and moreover i am not able to install CWM recovery as vol - button way is not wrking.
Wht shd I do?? please help

Flash this kernel by @ShadowElite with fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-elitekernel-v1-t3427540
Turn on your phone, when the yellow led comes up press volume up, Then flash this zip, Recroot v4 (TWRP RECOVERY): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6aEcBP7FwsWNmJDbXRkNDlCS1k
After you have flashed Recroot, flash this (SuperSU 2.76 SYSTEM MODE): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6aEcBP7FwsWa0c5TmFURjhVUTQ
Good luck!

Did you flash the kernel boot.img correctly?
Can you tell plz how to flash this kernal?

hey guys i did somethign wrong obviously i flashed a rom (my bad) while i was on an another rom and now my Phone stucked in Sony logo .
i tried to press volume down button to go into recovery but it doenst work.! what should i do?? i can only turn off phone with Power button + Holding Volume Up button ! i connect my phone with this procedure on xperia companion and now i am repairing software!
is this the only solution or i can get to recovery with another method and just restore my Previous rom backup?
If you have an unlocked BL, flash a custom stock-based kernel and use its recovery to restore your backup.
You can also use flashtool. Sony Companion isn't a bad way to restore device though, used this a couple of times myself.

In flashtool, you need to power off the device then hold - vol and then insert usb cable while holding - vol.
