[Q] SK17i problem with CWM Recovery - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

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.

Sorry for this question but I do not have any customization on my XS. I have copied the CWM.ZIP and ROM.ZIP files on SD card. Could you please suggest how can I flash ROM.ZIP as I do not have any custom recovery installed.
p.s. The bootlocker is also locked.

This is a fix only for who is installing custom ROMs without custom kernel. To install recovery, search for it.
I have had a problem, after flashing Rom, before flashing your zips I wiped cache, and started this problem in recovery:
Can't mount CACHE/recovery/log
then after flashing your zips phone stuck reboting at logo sony, so I have to start from zero, do you know why have that ocurred, is it because wiping cache?

No, CM10 requires the CM10 kernel, no work arounds, sorry.

for the xperia sspeed rom for example, you can also use the stock kernel, but why can't i use it for cm10?
That's a stock based rom so you can use the stock kernel. Whereas CM10 is AOSP based so many things in the Kernel are different for example Wi-Fi modules as well as other things

Back to stock, install CWM again, install MIUI and before reboot, install CWM.

Worked fine, I have superuser and I have downloaded and done other things that need rooting (unlock)
But when I reboot into recovery I am in stock recovery not CWM.. did I do something wrong?
Thanks

your link says you have two files. cwm and busybox. did you install both?
even if you have stock recovery, its not an issue as long as you're rooted. If you're going to install a custom kernel, you'll get a custom version of CWM anyways.

[Q] Flashing zip without getting in Recovery

Hi. I have Xperia Go with unlocked bootlader.
I installed Recovery. CWM. For the first few times I got in recovery menu by pressing volume down button while booting.
Now I can't get in the menu. But the recovery is working. (I Checked using Titanium Backupp and Pimp My Rom)
In pimp my rom, this app can install Sony Bravia Engine 2 and other flashalbe zip file without getting into recovery menu.
So I'm pretty sure I can do that using some app. Help please?

[Q]Superuser Binary needs to be updated?

Guys I was trying to root my bro's GS3 with odin.. the flashing went perfect, infact there was a SuperSU and CWM app installed too, but when i tired to open the app it was showing that SU bianary needs to be updated..
I even updated the SuperSU from the Play store but was getting the same error essentially.. also tried the Superuser FIxer app from PS but it also stuck at

I tried flashing the SuperSU 1.51 .zip from the recovery mode by placing it in internal memory but to my surprise the file path of the internal memory was not visible and when i inserted a sdcard and copied the file to it and then tried to flash it thru recovery, it was successfull but got a few erros , something like who file not successful(will try again and post exact same thing in by tomorrow)

I do not think your ROM is rooted properly. Try to download some software from play store to check whether it is rooted or not.
If not rooted then you have to google and search the rooting process. You have to use computer ODIN to flash and root your phone.

Having SU app does not mean your phone is rooted. Thats just an front end to provide you root access. Your phone has to be properly rooted.

ya i know its not rooted as i cant get the root access, my question is that shall i directly try to reflash thru odin?
Do you have a custom recovery? Did you flash cf-auto root? Philz touch is a custom recovery based on cwm. Flash that with odin, go to philz settings and then re-root system.

The simplest place to start is a root checker app (just stick root checker into play store). If it says that you don't have root then you don't simple as that. In which case use CF-AutoRoot program on your pc which will flash both a Custom Recovery (clockworkmod) as well as root... after that, the world is your oyster...
The root checking app is the simplest way to check if you have root though if you're new to stuff like this.

I am sure you were using stock, based on the OP. Get the custom and have a go. If you flash auto root it will give you stock recovery. You need to check philz or cwm threads for the odin flashables.
