Hey all!
With 4.3 coming any minute now, IM looking to put a custom recovery on my SGP311 so that If i miss ROOT or it takes too long or I just dont like it all up i can have a nandroid to go back to!
Looking around a bit do i need to have a custom rom/kernel for a custom recovery ?
Im new to how Sony does all this, coming from samsung where theres a dedicated recovery partition..
Any help would be appreciated!
Currently on latest WiFi only 4.2.2 update, Rooted with some chinese rooting tool, but using SuperSU
Edit: OK, I found and tried the dual recovery, (dont know why I didnt see it before)
And now my device is bootlooping at the Sony screen :c
Is there a way with Sony I can pull my photos from fastboot or something ?

Dont worry
it seems your phone is a little messed up
just search for the stock rom (you mentioned ics is released so try to find it)
look in the xda for a flashing guide for ur phone and flash the ics stock rom

thanks for replay
you mean just download and install the stock rom and every thing will return to normal ?
yap the stock rom you have to flash with odin contains the whole original software
after flashing its like ure unboxing the phone after buying it
it will whipe all your data even the root acces and the cwm ure back on stock recovery afterwards.

if you dont know how to use odin look here in the xda forum for a tutorial
after flashing go to recovery and whipe data/cash
I installed CWM for testing a ROM from XDA.
Now I can't connect my device to the PC and it looks like I can't get in flashmode.
PC Companion isn't recognizing my phone.
I tried several cables and charging works - it even prepares the internal storage (notification bar) but I don't see my Xperia P in Explorer and in PC Companion.
It's strange, that the issues came since I installed CWM.
If I uninstalled it, would I get into flashmode or see my device in Explorer? I don't really like the ROM I flashed, I always get force close in several apps.
Also, when I wanted to flash with CWM I made a "X" for backing up my data. Can I restore my system like it was before flash? (While flashing, there were some messages like "backing up" or sth)
And last question: When I flashed CWM I got a message about ROOT, I had to chosse if I want it or not. I choosed yes, but it said "this cannot be undone". I googled and noone posted this ROOT question before. Is this normal?
102 views and noone knows how to do that?
U cant unflash a CWM unless u go back to your stock firmware as CWM comes with different kernels. And the reason why PC and SEUS wont recognize your phone is because you have unlocked it and rooted it with custom kernel. I assume you are using GB coz i faced the internal storage problem with GB stock and the mtp process which is actually stupid of sony. Anywayz, U need to flash the stock firmware again to make those work again plus if you dont want the CWM too. But if you just want to keep your root but no CWM then u got to reflash your stock firmware, go to fastboot mode, flash a stock kernel (GB and ICS have different kernels which u can find over xda), then fastboot your stock kernel again. This procedure will let you keep your root but wont use custom kernels a.k.a CWM. If you are into ICS then u can use the custom kernels coz it wont do any damages or hiccups while u try to connect your phone to PC.

I personally hate PCC. You can always find the latest firmware within hours of its first release, so its pretty easy to get and flash it back using flashtool easily. By the way, do check the links i provided later on my previous comments. Might help you

I liked PC Companion because it doesn't void the guarantee but now it's ok
And thanks for the links, I didn't notice them the first time I read your post
I tried to install JB 4.1.2 from 4.0.4. It installed with a ROM. Only problem: Wifi keeps on error: Turning On. No bluetooth working and no mobile internet.
Any possible way to downgrade?
I tried via CWM 5 recovery, but it always says: Can't op xxxxxx.ZIP
Factory Reset doesnt reset the kernel ofc.
Im so worried i will never be able to use the phone on a decent way again
help pls?
did you make a backup of the phone before you flashed a new rom.
if not have a look on google for a stock rom for your phone.
it could just be that your "radios" needs updating/reflashing, it will probably help people if you tell us your phone
Its the Jiayu G3.. I wanted to Flash a new ROM with ClockWorkMod but also that Recovery mode doesn't start at all..
When i want to go to the Recovery Mode, it shows up an Android Symbol with RED Triangle.
I already found a good version for ROM installing, but i just need CWM to work now :s

do you still have root? if so you can use goo manager to install twrp or rom manager to install cwm
Yep, my device is still rooted.
What do you want me to do ? I dont really understand.
There is a ROM EXPLORER installed on the phone now, if thats what you mean?
Im going to do what you wrote now..

since it appears your custom recovery isnt installed anymore, i believe you can use mobile uncle tools to install cwm on your device

TWRP doesn't work with the Jiayu g3 , could that be?
Is there ANY other recovery program or way to get into cwm/twrp?
Hello XDA buddies,
I need your help. I am having Xperia U on ginger bread(.188) which i wanted to upgrade on official ICS and afterward will try some custom roms. Before doing any updating i want to backup my stock rom in case any **** will happen i will be safe sided.I made searches about this and come to know that i have to unlock my bootloader and install custom recovery to backup my stock rom.
So here i am struggling:
1.I have unlock bootloader via sony official method but when iam trying to enter recovery mode by pressing volume key down(also tried volume key up) while my phone is restarting and sony logo appears nothing unusual happens and my phone starts normally.
2. To install CWM recovery i have to flash my SXU with some kernel(i really donn't know about this) and for flashing the kernel my phone must be on ICS. As i mentioned above before updating to ics i wanna backup my stock rom.
PlZ help me out of this.
Thanks in advance

If you have TA backup, you can relock bootloader and make restore from sony comanion on pc. But if you didn't backup TA, then i don't know what to do(
i just repair over PC comparion and twrp gone and all back to stock ( idk if someone in service experts can find that i make custom roms before) but im notice that my recovery dont work, at least when i push vol down and vol up + power
i cant find stock recovery on google im searching for 2 hours
Because any xperias no hasn't stock recovery, this no exist in Sony phones, u only waste time for searching
aham so i cant retrive to full stock all including recovery.... blah, i will send to service and pray that will pass

done but still no recovery, when i set vol + power or (vol+,vol- and power) phone just vibrate every 5 sec.... and thats repeating all the time... screen is off too... but normal power up and flash mode work ok....
Ojoj u don't understand, Sony phones don't have stock recovery at all, only we can install custom recovery on rooted phone or when we have unlocked bootloader, can we flash custom kernels with implemented recovery, but no one make custom kernel jet, only custom kernels are inside in custom roms like cm 12,cm 13
Aham. Sorry... I was found on net "how to enter in recovery mod" that is why i was think that they have recovery
