Hello,
How to completely remove CWM. I installed it by xparts. I searched over net but didn't get any proper steps. Also, when I install ROM manager, it shows that I have already CWM and TWRP installed. How to remove those completely?
Thanks.
Flash the current stock kernel that u have again it will gone, as far as I know

- flash stock kernel
- flash stock firmware (recommended)
I guess you only have those two choices
Thanks for the replies. I flashed FTF file of stock ROM (which contains both kernel and firmware) , but still the ROM manager is saying that I already have the CWM and TWRP installed.

well, I don't know why the ROM Manager says that because the flashing should clean everything (if you check all options). What do you need ROM manager for?
Afaik, Rom manager doesn't support our xperia neo and neo v

Is there a guide somewhere for how it works?
If you flash custom roms with it or any roms in fact, do you still lose root?

You don't need rom manager to flash custom roms.

Put the zip file on you root folder, Then power off the phone & switch it back on pressing up to boot into cmw. Once cmw loads select flash zip from SD & select the zip file you want to flash...
What about backing up my current system/rom etc? How do I do that?

Use the backup feature in the recovery.
I've not booted into recovery yet. Lol.

Okey so im facing the following issue here: I have the FXP v136 9.1 Rom/kernel at the moment but i want to revert it to stock.
however, my backup is gone because my SSD died. sooo, how would i get the stock rom/kernel back? (i could download the 6.1.A.2.45 stock ROM) and flash this through clockwork recovery (not sure how you call it, the fastboot recovery mode)
however, i dont have the kernel (unless its in the 6.1.A.2.45 ROM file)
not sure what i have to do here
just flash stock 2.45 firmware using flastool with flash mode

Well, you could always flash Advanced Stock Kernel and find a stock FTF. You can rename the FTF to zip and extract the kernel and flash it.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped

So I had this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876792) and i wanted to go back to my official rom. I went to CDW wiped out system, date, ect etc and I tried to restore my backup which I did with my CWM before I use the custom rom. Everything ok but when I reboot me device it shows the bootlogo of the custom firmware and not the sony and after that it goes black. How do I solve this? I searched but I didnt find anything
Please be more exact on what you wiped and formatted all. What kernel and cwm version are you using? Did you made the nand backup with the same cwm version?

And you flashed back stock (based) kernel?
When you flash .ftf rom using a flashtool, it flashes all official components (rom, kernel, baseband) by default. I apologize flashtool is a most useful method to go back at stock rom. What do you think?

Download flashtool. Download ftf of firmware u want to flash. Open flashtool and drop that downloaded ftf file in flashtool window. Then check no final verification. Click ok. Then follow instructions given by flashtool. Done. Simple as that.

And be careful with device drivers. Install it from a Flashtool folder to avoid a flashing problems.

One last thing, as I said in my first post before i go to jelly bean i made a back up using CWM(The backup was on official ICS 4.0.4 + rooted + BL open). If I want to go back at that backup the only thing i need to do is go to CWM, delete system, delete data, detete etc etc and I do the restore?
Or I need first to flash a kernel for ICS and THEN restore the backup? Im still kinda confused with the kernel thing and the restoration...

Yea. Cwm doesn't reatore kernel. Just the system, data dalvik etc.
You'll need an ics kernel like alliance or suave to boot into the restored backup.

So that was the problem. I can use any ICS kernel or the official kernel( because the backup was on the official rom even though it was rooted) ???

I recommend you to flash a kernel that has been used at time you created a backup, because I had a problems with Wi-Fi when I do «hot-flashing« from suave kernel to night - elf.

If I format system will it delete the backup?
Also If I install stock kernel back from custom kernel then do I have to install CWM again?

The backup stays on the memory stick so copy it in your pc in case something happen
No you will still have cwm

If you used cwm from kernel, then yes, after you flash stock kernel, you will need to instal cwm to system.

From where?
I highly doubt that someone with custom kernel would go and install cwm in system.
Friend i need to know can all rom b flash without flashtool
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
If you're trying to flash a stock ROM, then you'll need flashtool. That's the only way. But, if you have CWM installed, then you could download ROMs like No Sh*t or Terrarom which is stock based but standalone [doesn't require install of stock ROM].
You can then install CM9 by flashing the kernel through fastboot and then installing it over NS or Terrarom.
I got a Rom

Would it get bricked if something goes wrong?

u can install any kernel by using d correct processs...
1) First root and unlock bootloader of ur device using flashtool.
if u dont have flashtool download from http://androxyde.github.io/
2) after that in flashtool folder (c:/flashtool) u ll have drivers install drivers for xperia u, fastboot and flashtool drivers (u need to tick mark in boxes for desired drivers).
3) Its always better to have backup, install CWM and take take nanandroid backup by entering CWM.
Moving on to the installation process
1) Copy the rom zip file to internal storage.
2) through flashtool enter fastboot mode and flash kernel that ispresent along with the rom zip..
3) after that enter CWM and install ZIp.
4) let the device boot properly....... and if prompted restart the device..
5) Download and copy the kernel of ur wish and den flash.
6) before flashing just wipe cache and dalvik cache.
7) incase if u face any bootloop enter CWM mode and go to advance menu and clear cache and dalvik cache.......
I suggest u to use JB rom by Devswift its d best rom available among so many.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284394
I have given the whole process as u said ur in stock if u already rooted and unlocked just follow installation processss..............
Happy Flashing.......
Press THANKS if i have helped....
And also THANK every one who helps u in this forum.............
In step 2 ,u said to flash kernel that came with the rom.
Then u said install any kernel of ur choice after flashing rom
Well why can't I directly flash the kernel of my choice in step 2?
What's the logic?
Please explain a bit more about the kernel stuff.
Thanks in advance!

Some kernels come with an inbuilt recovery. Now what if the recovery isn't compatible with my phone?
Will it get bricked?
The kernel that comes with the rom,what if that kernel has this issue?

Kernel with CWM (any version) ll be used no pblm wid dat...
If u have any pblm wid kernel given in d zip den.....
1) download a custom kernel with CWM recovery and install it by doing all wipes...
2) now open the rom zip and remove boot img or kernel elf what ever file it may be and repack the zip and installl zip
3) if u dont remove the kernel file from dat zip i ll nly will get installed during installing rom zip
And during installing custom kernel from zip file ur device may undergo bootloop(stuck at boot animation)....
Den dont panic just go to CWM recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and restart it ll start up normally.....
Hope:good: it helps....
Final query,I know i've pestered u a lot.but is there a pre-requisite for flashing a kernel?I mean does it require ics stock kernel .54 or higher installed?

There are no pre requisites for flashing a kernel.
Just flash a stock kernel for stock based roms and a CM kernel for CM based roms,
Also check if the rom you want to flash and kernel you intend to flash are based on the same firmware version for optimum performance....
Happy flashing.!!!:good:
Done. working.thanks
