Hi,
I used the recoverX software to install CWM to my xperia p with JB. The boot-loader is locked. The process showed that it was able to successfully install CWM to my device and I restarted it as instructed.! I tried to boot into CWM Recovery mode. But the device booted into normal system.
I installed recovery manager and it stated that I don't have CWM installed. How can I install CWM to Xperia P.

You must be rooted, which firmware version do you have?

Hi,
I've Xperia Pro MK16i, with stock 4.0.4 ROM, boot loader unlocked and rooted.
I really want to install recently released CM9-RC1 ROM but have been unsuccessful probably due to CWM recovery.
I was only able to install CWM auto installer which would only boot into recovery if i do it from within booted stock rom, but not manually when i reboot and try to go into recovery mode. i tried all key combinations like volume key down/up when at reboot sony logo flashes bright and led turns blue for a second.
Nevetheless i tried to install CM90RC1 by following official cyanogenmod instructions in which i failed when the guidelines states to fastboot and flash boot.img extracted from CM9-RC1.zip file and then reboot from fastboot. it just stuck there and would not even flash sony logo.
I relocked the bootloader and installed the stock ROM through Sony PC companion repair option.
Now i have again unlocked the bootloader and rooted. but not sure how to proceed now.
I guessed may be i need custom ROM with CWM recovery builtin. i came across this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315904&highlight=108
kindly guide me if the link above will help me installing Cyanogenmod ROM and does it come with CWM recovery built in.
Also whats the difference between multiple downloads on the above link like FXP129 and CM9 baseband?
What files do i have to download now, to install Cyanogenmod ROM?
Regards
Hello!
I own a XPeria Ray now and already managed to Root and unlock Bootloader.
I installed X-Parts from Google play.
I entered Recovery and did clean Data/Cache/System. I installed OptiMax 3.0 Rom.
But now my Recovery is gone?!?
In XParts it says its only in System, so it sure is gone. But how can I get a permanent Recovery like on my old HTC Evo3D?
I need some Security if Flashing goes wrong.
Please Help!!
And I'm Sorry, i did search in the Forums but couldn't find a Solution for this.

Flash any custom kernel for Ray in your development forum. The custom kernel has cwm integrated in the ramdisk (permanent), and will not be removed unless you flash a new kernel. Download the kernel, and flash it either with Flashtool ot fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
Try flykernel for stock ics. It is very good.:victory:

For locked bootloader you must install cwm again when you do a full wipe.
If you want permanent recovery, then unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel.

He has already specified that he unlocked the bootloader...
Try installing a custom kernel
Because the CWM (which is installed with xParts on unlocked bootloader) is not in the kernel so if something happens to your System partition, CWM will be gone.
You can install it by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom kernel such as mesa. MESA 3.3 will give you dual recoveries (CWM & TWRP).

hey!
I was on cyanogenmod 10 with my xperia P. i wanted to downgrade the phone to use another rom.
so i flashed the "Sony_XperiaP_6.1.1.b.1.75_Generic_World" via flashtool.
then i rooted. works perfect till here.
i installed cwm through adb ( CWM Recovery by atis112 ). i tried to restart and go to cwm manually, per adb and a reboot app.
doesnt work for me
RecoverX doesnt support the Xperia P.
what can i do to get into recovery ? ..
Bootloader is locked... was on stock KK rom and was rooted (towel)..
Installed dual recovery and facotry reset in recovery, flashed C6833_14.5.A.0.270_Customized HK flashable prerooted recovery then the recovery flashable. Rebooted and now it is stuck at the Sony logo...
Did I kill this thing?
EDIT: Was able to flash original firmware with XperiFirm. How can I update this pile to Lollipop? The PC companion app wouldn't work when the phone was bone stock.

Hi, I am a newbie here, I have a problem with flashing the rom (zip file) in the recovery that is my phone will crash (restart instead). And I have my phone locked bootloader here is what I have done to my phone
1) using flashtool to downgrade to a rootable rom ( 23.1.A.1.28 )
2) after flashing I use kingroot to root, after that install busybox and last install xzrecovery.
3) after I reboot my phone to twrp recovery and wipe data to perform a rom install (twrp version v2.8.6.0 )
But when I install the rom my phone restart and I stuck and the Sony logo boot screen.
How do I solve this problem.
Thanks
