Hi all,
I have already unlocked my Sola's bootloader and I have also rooted it using B4nary's tool.
I was able to install CWM via RecoverX v1.4.6. I believe the installation was successful. There were no error message during the installation and I followed all instructions (rooted phone, super user permissions , busybox, etc).
I was not able to enter the CWM menu when I restarted my cell. I am not sure what the key combination is.
I tried holding the power button and the volume up button, that did not work.
I tried holding the power button and the volume up/down buttons which lead to several vibrations and a black screen but nothing more. I think that's the fastboot mode button combination.
I looked through some of the XDA forum topics on that matter but I was not able to find the proper key combination. Please help. :silly:

Please read carefully :-
1) Be it on whatever firmware you running GB/ICS you cannot just install CWM unless you flash a custom kernel which has recovery (CWM) in it...reason to it is that there is no recovery partition to install in Sola
M not sure about recoverX installation tho
2)(this goes if you hv found a magical way to install CWM without flashing a custom kernel not sure of your recoverX thing) the key combination is wrong and also there is an timing when you hv to press it... It's when the phone vibrates after Sony logo and a custom led light (colour as per the modder) flashes...
Combination :- boot the phone and when the phone vibrates after Sony logo + led flashes then press only + volume key n spam it if possible...
3) the combination that you did which switched the phone off is NOT fastboot... Its force reboot and force shutdown and that is
Combination ;- volume + & power button for 5 sec- force reboot continue pressing booth for couple of more sec - force shutdown
4) there are plenty of NOOB friendly posts which I don't think you bothered to search or read!!!

Thanks again for the useful info. However this time you were too fast to judge me in your post - point 4.
I did read the noob friendly posts and I did find out about the led flashing thing and the volume up button pressing. It was explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922029 , which I read. However, since I am a noob, I did not know that I specifically MUST HAVE a custom kernel. I am familiar with ClockworkMod Recovery from my old HTC Wildfire cell phone and this is why I used it in a similar fashion on my Sola.
Maybe it was my mistake to consider ClockworkMod Recovery is similar to RecoverX, it certainly seemed that way to me
Anyway , that is the XDA thread for the RecoverX thingy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
I was not able to find any information regarding having a custom rom on that particular thread. Anyway, I have also read this thread so if I must I will install a custom kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766892.
Thanks for the hint. But just to let you know, I do read threads prior to asking.

It seems as the cell phone has to enter fastboot mode prior to installing CWM. The developer just posted that info today Fortunately he is working on a new big version

Hi,
I use stock ICS + stock kernel on my Sola.
Here is the thread where the developer of RecoverX admits there is a problem with his code: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227&page=18
This is what he says :
"In fact, before begin the installation, RecoverX check if there is a phone connected to the computer thanks to ADB. But I have forget that when the phone is in fastboot mode, ABD doesn't work (it's a big error from me ) so RecoverX can't check if there is a phone connected.
So, the tool is currently not able to install a recovery on Xperia U, P & Sola due to an error in the source code (sorry guys...)."
The nickname of the developer is LEDelete.
So this should be helpful to all noobs out there who do not know how to install a non-stock kernel. Or to people who just do not wish to do it. Very soon all of us will be able to install CWM with this simple to use tool. It is very user-friendly and the developer does provide feedback.
Cheers.

How are you trying to access recovery?
The three main ways are
Turn off phone.
Turn on phone.
When ou see the sony logo...
a) Keep pressing the back key, or
b) Keep pressing the volume down key or
c) Keep pressing the screen.
When I say keep pressing, you need to press, let go, press, let go, press......etc
It doesn't work for me.its open in safemod I tried all the method as you say.I haven't unlocked my boothlooder is I have to unlock it to open cwm.and which version of cwm work with neo l and how can I open it.plz help me

Hi people
i recently tried to install a custom JB rom on my Xperia U. This is the rom (Fidelity JB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164293)
it all installed perfectly, but when i rebooted the system, the device would show sony logo, xperia logo and then the animation for a few seconds and then the device reboots again. this keeps happening endlessly and i am also not able to go into recovery mode. i tried with pressing volume down key and volume up key but not luck. i can't deal with it using flash tool as it needs USB debugger on and i can't switch it on because the rom is not working.
Anyone please help... im getting real frustrated as the device is no use to me till i get the solution...
Thanks in advance.

First you need to turn it off, volume up + power untill you feel 3 consecutive vibrations.
You can then try to enter flash mode, or reboot to recovery.
this could help

what is the size of the rom u downloaded...
hey guys.. i finally decided to change the laggy stock rom to the latest cm11 mod
installation was okay and all.. when the phone started, it kept saying keyboard stopped working
okay i figured that i copied the wrong gapps .. now comes the real problem,
i tried to boot into recovery by holding power and up/down both didnt work
is there a tool to flash the cmw into my phone from my pc then patch the right gapps?
my phone is pretty useless now so please any answer should help thanks.
This is an idea i give you, i don´t know if your home button or power button are working fine but i had that problem when i started this rom installing addiction, my home button was a little damaged so if i want to enter to recovery i have to press it hard. Maybe you should give it a try pressing harder the buttons. Just an idea.
@medothe1: you are more efficiant, if u use the usual buttons to start recovery: power & louder & menu.
When logo bootloader appears, release power-button.
Can get to settings
hey guys,
