I'm about to install KitKat 4.4 on my Sony Xperia P but I can not get into CWM mode!
Some say I should press Home + Volume down (doesn't work) and some say Power + Volume up (doesn't work) or Power + Volume down.
Which is it???? There should be three vibrations and then....?
Thanks!

Do you have CWM installed or flashed custom kernel?
Is your bootloader unlocked?

I am taking it you did not unlock bootloader, case you cannot flash no non stock based custom ROMs.
Forget about ROM manager, it's not gonna work on XP, not untill they make it work on XP which I don't think they did.
Install recovery using recoverx its a windows software then after install shut down and use volume up at Sony logo.

She has to flash a kernel to get CWM, no?
Ok, see.
You'll need to unlock the bootloader to have the CWM, Sony stock doesn't has a CWM to flash ROMs so it won't work but here's the thing...
In order to get CWM you have to unlock the bootloader and fast boot flash a custom kernel, once you got it you can enter by pressing volume up repeatly, or depending in the kernel you've flashed.
If my vocabulary is so strange to you, I can explain you better, I guess.
But that's it.

No there is CWM for unlocked bootloader, But since the OP wants to install CM anyway he/she need unlocked bootloader.

Ah, okey! No I have not unlocked the bootloader (yet) and I am reading about RecoveryX for the moment and if I have understood it correctly I will get CWM with it, yes?
I am going to install cm-11-20131201-UNOFFICIAL-nypon-NIGHTLY-14 and gapps-modular-mini-4.4-20131118-signed on my LG Optimus x2 first, before I try it out on my new Xperia - just to make sure I like it and that the incoming call bug is gone with 4.4.
No need to upgrade if the incoming and outgoing dialer issue is still there.
It has CWM installed and is ready to go.
Ps. Yes, I'm a woman.

So THAT's when I do it - at the Sony logo! Thanks!
I have tried RecoveryX before, never worked.
You must have bootloader unlocked to install CM and since you going to flash kernel anyway just use the provided kernel don't bother with recovery.
I don't know if the dialer issue present in JB CMs at all, so you might try them first. CM11 is still in early stage.
LG has the call lag also?
Sorry deleted i saw it to late it was for kitkat
Well, first, like everybody has told you, Unlock the bootloader, then for incoming call lag, i recommend you try CM10.2 or CM11, those are good in this .. and are great for daily use, no big problems.
For unlocking your bootloader you should follow the steps that Sony™ gives you. That´s the easy way.
Have luck..!

I've got a problem, but I'm not sure if it's been addressed anywhere else on here, I've searched through several pages. I've found a situation that was similar, but not the same. So I'm putting it out there, and hoping someone will solve it:
I've got a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i)
I rooted my phone, unlocked it's bootloader, and flashed a ROM; everything went well until it rebooted. Now I'm stuck at the point where the "Sony Ericsson" logo is shown, i've been stuck there for almost 30 minutes now.
Any help possible? Any at ALL would be MUCH appreciated.

What ROM are you trying to flash on your phone?
Did you checked first if the Bootloader was actually unlocked?
Did you flash a custom kernel thru fastboot?
Custom ROM needs custom kernel.

I was trying to flash HYBROM.
Bootloader was unlocked for sure as I had installed Coconut previously, which also requires bootloader unlock.
No worries though; i solved my problem. I flashed an older firmware, along with a bootload relocker, with Flashtool. Now my phone has switched on, to my stock ROM. Still no clue how to flash hybrom ROM as it caused the same problem even after wiping dalvik cache and all other data (which was the solution provided by dev)

check first page of hybrom thread
Installation instructions
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

I did not deny that a custom kernel is needed, I wanted to know how to flash/use a custom kernel?
To flash a custom kernel you need to have flashtool (sticky thread on the dev section) so:
1.- you download the custom kernel (it is a boot.img file)
2.- open flashtool
3.- connect your phone to your computer while the phone its off and you are holding the volume up key without releasing it the notification led should turn on blue.
4.- if the phone it's not recognized go to the flashtool folder and install the drivers located on the drivers folder once it is done repeat step 3 and it should be recognized.
5.- once your device it's connected click the thunderbolt icon on flashtool in the new screen select fastboot mode and continue.
6.- in the new screen click on select kernel to flash and browse to the boot.img you downloaded.
7.- check the flashtool log to make sure everything is fine if it is you are good to go.
Hope it helps.

Depending on the ROM, you want to install, you need correct kernel.
CM ROMs work only with FXP kernels, included in their topic.
MIUI ROMs have only specific kernels also, included in their topic.
Stock-based ROMs(XROM, Hybrom) work with Rage Kernel, X Kernel, bbooff's kernel, all these are in Development section, just search.
Glad to be helpful anything else just let us know.
Thanks very much!
I have a live with walkman from 3 etwork. the bootloader is locked. can I still flash hybrom 16 through CWM?
check service menu,
confirm if bootloader can be unlocked.
it should state "bootloader unlock allowed : yes".
after unlocking bootloader then there will be no problem installing hybrom
check this thread for more info about unlocking bootloader.

Fantastic How'd you flash it? same as hybrom? (Unlock bootloader then flash?)
Hi all, been trying all night to unlock the bootloader following the guide on the cynaogenmods wiki page ( found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide )
Sadly however, i seem to fail when getting to the 4th and 5th step of the guide as what is supposed to happen doesnt happen at all when pressing and holding down the Volume Up button aswell as connecting the USB-cable to the computer on the same time.
this is the things and steps i've done and tried:
1) Tried diffrent buttons then the Volume Up button, like Back button, Menu button and the # button
2) tried having the USB cable connected to the computer first, then plug in the usb cable to the phone while pressing and holding down Volume Up button, also tried with diffrent buttons while doing this, aswell as doing vice-versa (having the USB connected to the phone first, and connecting it to the computer)
So what is the result of all this? the phone only gets into charging mode, and that's about it, either a green or orange LED starts to show aswell.
Some things worth mentioning:
I used to have a very old version of sonybread with CWM (clockwork mod) but before begining the guide i totally cleaned my phone and even re-flashed it to stock rom with SEUS, so currently my phone is using the stock rom without root and a locked bootloader (as far as i know about the bootloader atleast) and currently the phone is working as intendeed with the stock rom, but in all honesty it sucks using it and therfore i'm trying to put in a stable version of Cynaogenmod.
Also i never managed to get the fastboot comand terminal to work fully when launching it from Android\android-sdk\tools as it missed several comands, so in order to actually get the fastboot to work as intendeed i had to launch it from Android\android-sdk\platform-tools which was the fastboot that came with the SDK and not the one downloaded from the wiki's guide on how to get fastboot.
Something more worth mentioning is that it seems like the device manager can't find the phone while being in charging mode or when i do the "Volume Up button" and connect the USB to the computer thingy, however the phone shows up in device manager if its being started up or is being on.
I do however hear the "a USB connected sound" everytime i connect the phone in any way i've tried when it gets to charging mode, but then it never shows up on device manager.
And last but not least, i'm running a x64 W7 Professional machine.
Sorry for such a long thread, but want to try to explain my problem as troughly as possible aswell as everything i've tried in order to rule out as many other problems aswell.
hey friend.... that post is for mini pro not x10 mini pro...... to connect in flash mode you have to press the back button and then connect the phone via USB..... be sure u have SE tweaker tool for X10 mini pro and Drivers along with GORDON gate driver......
And to add to that the 2010 devices do NOT support fastboot, so it is no wonder it didn't work properly.
And if you tried the bootloader unlockers for the 2011 MiniPro you're just lucky your attempts failed
Try it following these instructions

I see, thanks for the quick reply.
I've decided to scrap the unlocking bootloader thing as it seems to be way more complicated then i tought. i will just stick with using the stock rom untill i get a new phone as this one his toally horrible with the stock rom.
If any mod can mark this question thread as solved and prehaps lock it if necessary it would be good, thanks.

You don't have to stick with stock firmware, in the x10miniPro development section there are a lot of roms based on gingerbread android that will run fine on the stock kernel choose one to your liking.
There's a very clean rom called Clean0.0 v6 you definitly have to check out.

No that is total rubbish you posted
Not every custom rom needs an unlocked bootloader, you only need an unlocked bootloader if you want to install a custom kernel.
If you choose a rom that will run on the stock kernel, you only need root and either cwm or xrecovery, depending on the installation method of the rom you chose.
If a rom runs only on a custom kernel, then the installation will be done through CWM, because that's what is included in the kernel, on stock kernel you might be ok with xrecovery.

Hi I have an Xperia X10 mini pro with the code 11W25. I want to use the latest MiniCM7 custom rom (I think its MiniCM7-2.2.2) and the powerful nAa 2.6.29-14 kernel to breathe new life to this obsolete stock SE 2.1 firmware. I've been seeing posts saying codes below 11W29 is safe to unlock bootloader. I just want to make sure because I want to unlock it with confidence. Is it safe to unlock the device with the code 11W25?
I've posted this question in the X8 unlock bootloader guide and they said the rules mentioned there is not applicable to X10 mini pro. My X10 mini pro can use different SIM Cards, I mean its not locked to a certain network provider. I received it here in Manila from abroad One more thing, if I wanted to go back to stock, I can use SE PC Companion and it will bring back stock firmware and kernel right? Will it relock bootloader too? I've been watching these videos from youtube doing a guide on how to unlock bootloader and installing the nAa kernel in this youtube channel called minicyanogen(mod)
thanks in advance long live xda =)
Hi,
I have successfully rooted my Xperia U phone (with ICS 4.0.1), and also installed the CWM.
I have downloaded the experience 2.1.zip rom file and placed the same in internal memory also.
Now when I restart my phone to be able to boot in recovery mode, I am not able to do so.
As soon as press power button, multi-coloured illumination doesn't take place in LED bar. As soons as Sony logo appears, I start pressing the 'Volume Down' button repeatedly, but nothing happens. It simply goes to Xperia logo animation screen and boots the phone with older ROM only.
Am I missing something. Please help. I want to install custom ROM to upgrade to JB, but I am not able to do so as I am not able to boot my phone in Recovery mode, which is required to flash the current ROM and installing new ROM on top of it (as per m knowledge).
Please Help. Urgent.
If video can be uploaded for the solution, i would highly appreciate the work and effort becoz I got frustrated now after following so many procedures given on internet to root / install CWM / boot in recovery. I am done with first two things: Rooting and Installing CWM. I struggling hard to reboot my phone in CWM mode
Thanks in advance.

Hi All
Have rooted my UK 6833 LTE
I have dual recovery and i think i put GPe custom rom (BeanStalk-4.4.4010-20140729-togari_gpe) by accident as mines a LTE model
I lost my phone signal.
So i downgraded to stock.
Tried to put another rom and says my phone is GPe
Now i cant put GPe or non GPe custom roms in my phone
any ideas
many thanks
how did you 'down grade to stock'?
The best way to continue will be to extract the kernel (boot.img) from the zip of the ROM you want to flash and fastboot it then use that to flash the ROM zip:
Download correct ROM
Download flashtool http://flashtool.net
Extract boot.img
Copy ROM to SD card
Power off phone
Run flashtool (if windows 8.x read about installing unsigned drivers)
Select 'flash'
Select 'fastboot'
Select 'select kernel to flash'
Connect phone while holding vol up key
Disconnect phone
Boot phone
Enter recovery (vol up when LED turns purple)
Flash ROM
Wipe as needed
Reboot phone
Installed stock rom 4.4.4, working now.
But I still can't install custom roms.
I'm after putting rom beanstalk 4.4.4, it looks great

Oh and I haven't updated the beanstalk ROM in ages

Yes you will have to unlock the BL, but first back up the TA partition. See the stickies in the General section

Hi Guys,
I have a Sony Xpeia Z2 which has a locked bootloader. I managed to get into TWRP recovery using the dualrecovery APK and tried to install CarbonRom custom ROM and Gapps. All installed fine but when I rebooted the phone nothing happens now. If i keep my finger on the power button it just vibrates once every 5 seconds and thats it. I can boot it into fastboot but that is it. I can't boot into recovery as it was not flashed as bootloader is still locked and is set "unlock allowed=no"
Have i just killed my phone? is there a way to return back to stock or flash a different custom rom that will work?

you need to unlock your bootloader to flash carbon rom
you can use this guide to recover your device

just a note, instead of holding volume up and power you can hold the red power switch above the simcard in the port on the left side of the phone, its a red reset switch, its quite small
about pt 2 is where it asks

Ah guessing its not using a stock kernel is that right? so annoying that bootloader is unlockable really annoyed by that. anyhow does anyone know any roms which will work with a locked bootloader?
