Nothing happened, it download and flashed, I granted adb su permission but could not enter CWM after boot.

I think to install through this file is easier than the above method...
Connect ur device
just extract this file and open install.bat and after sumtym cmd will report Profit!! click any button to exit and cwm is flashed....

If you have no solution and have unlocked bootloader, then try installing a custom kernel.

Go to install zip from sd card

(wipe dalvik / cache if installation method in original posts asks to do so)
I'm guessing you haven't installed cwm recovery yet, look for it in development section of your device.

Yes adb drivers to be installed on your computer. Phone kept in adb debugging mode.

Does Adb means usb debugging
Can you provide link for it
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
Adb is android debug bridge. It needs debugging mode enabled to run on phone. Look around for drivers or get it from android sdk. It was a real pain even for me.

Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
CWM mode is obtained by several small presses (13 to 16 maybe) in volume down button when sony logo appears.
Are you doing this or one long push? At least with CWM touch, this is the way to go.

Hi again .
CWM and xrecovery are both recovery versions used to flash new ROMs. You can only use one or the other. Assuming you are on stock kernel, install xrecovery as described in many tutorials.
CWM comes preinstalled with pretty much all custom kernels, which you can only use with an unlocked bootloader.

Please press the THANKS button if I helped .
Wait, i have to unlock the bootlpader before flashing roms in cwm?

No, not at all. CWM and xrecovery are basically the same thing. What I meant was that, if you are on a custom kernel, you don't have to install CWM again, because it is already preinstalled. You don't have to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom ROM, all you need is root and xrecovery.

Have you set the right permissions(if your using root explorer or a similar filemanager, long press the files, go to permissions and tick everything there)?

I first made a backup of my DRM keys, so i can go back to a locked bootloader if I want. But that's only possible if you're already rooted. You can try Bin4ry's method, but if that doesn't work you should skip this step. Then you can backup your TA partition.
Then you can unlock you're bootloader. Sony's own instructions (search for "Sony unlock bootloader") are very good.
Tnx mate

Nevermind, hadn't seen your link before :silly:
Anyway, bootloader unlock tool won't be device specific I think so if that tool supports unlocking bootloader it'll be for all 2012 Xperia atleast, and anyways, all Xperias supporting unlock have the same bootloader unlock method
