As the topic suggest, i wanted to know that is there any possible ways to flash custom kernels via recovery.
Flashing is my habit and due to flashing simultaneously i have just lost my Volume down button on my LWW And i m unable to flash custom kernels :crying: which is stopping me to install fresh Custom ROMS ,
HELP ME PLEASE...

Unfortunately our devices do not have a separate recovery partition so it's not possible to flash kernels through CWM. Search the forums, I know there was a way of changing the key you need to press to enter CWM
thanks for your advise buddy but I know how to enter into CWM , I am concerned about how can I tune into Fastboot to flash kernels :good:

You have to press the volume up button to boot into the fastboot mode, not volume down.

Isn't the phone will run into fastboot mode automatically if u use flashtool when u clicked the fastboot mode? Anyway, u can try using cmd though. Turn off ur phone and press the up volume button while connecting the usb cable to computer. If the blue light appear it should be in fastboot mode.

Thanks for advise buddy,but the phone can never go directly in fastboot mode instead it goes in flashmod, i.e green led glows, I vl try using with cmd thanks
Negative cmd is also not helpful I think I must be mising by commands can anyone help me with the commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
in command line will allow you to boot into fastboot mode ...
Guys I understand that kernel and cwm are merged and that's the reason we can't flash kernel but what about installing cwn on system with x-parts and then flashing kernel from it. isn't that possible either?

I unlocked my phone bootloader and installed some custom ROMs before flashing back to stock ROM by WotanServer. But now the phone can't get into Fastboot mode or recovery mode anymore. I hold Volume Up (or Down) with Power button but it just boots normally. Even using ADB still returns the same result. Can anybody tell me how to fix this please
Which method did you use to unlock bootloader?Which rom did you flash?
To enter fastboot, you need to hold volume up and connect usb cable, you don't use power button at all.
Oh and wotanserver installs stock kernel and removes recovery, so you need to reinstall that.

hey do u have cwm installed? have u flashed custom kernel? or advanced stock kernel, if yes then you just need to do is press volume up @ sony screen, when @ sony screen (assuming you have installed advanced ics), it will vibrate and have a led light then press the volume up.
if you havent installed i guess you need to do some reading on how to unlock and install custom kernel.

Dear All,
I installed cwm recovery tool by following the steps as told in this thread using recovery installer for my xperia s (build no. 6..1.a.2.45).
I tried going into recovery mode by pressing VOL UP + button during bootlogo (sony) but nothing happens.. the phone restarts in its usual manner.
ive unlocked the bootloader via fastboot .. roooted the phone with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17: method.
I just cannot fathom how to get into recovery mode so that i can install custom rom !!
any advice will be greatly appreciated .. thanks in advance

i instaled the latest flashtool. it says the drivers arent installed but they are.
windows says unable to install drivers.
after i press the vol up and power, after 1 vibration it goes to kernel. i waited for 5 min pressing the buttons but nothing happened.
when on kernel, flashtool says device connected in usb debugging off.

then my phone was able to get to the fastbot mode and i successfully fastbooted the correct cm kernel and booted up the rom!

Did you replace the kernel image before installing? Realy weird why the didn't fo it themselves.
No ppoint to try booting the phone.
You have removable battery so try to remove it for a minute, put it back and see if you can connect in flash mode and flash original formware.
BTW what do you mean by "goes to kernel?" recovery?

Hi guys,
I have mk16i(xperia pro), and installed latest lx cm11 build. Then, I tried dark's kernel. But I wanted to revert to the stock kernel.
Now at that point, i couldn't enter the fastboot or flash mode anymore. The OS running w/o any problem. But i'm stuck with the dark's kernel(which is very battery unfriendly,10 hour standby)
When i try to connect the phone to PC while pressing menu(or back button) the LED blinks for miliseconds and the phone continues switching on normally (enter OS).
I know it is my fault to install nonstock kernel but I really need help. If anyone experienced this issue, it will be great to hear the advice.
Thanks in advance
Try taking out the battery for a few seconds, reinserting it, pressing the button for fastboot mode (I don't know which one you have to use for the xperia pro) and then you connect it to your PC while keeping the button pressed. This should work

I tried it many times. But no chance... The LED blinks then the phone goes into OS.
I tried to reboot fastboot via adb commands. Again same result. Directly goes to OS.
Flashtool also stucks at "Device will soon enter fastboot mode" nothing happens. Phone stays on...
Is it hw fault? I will be very disappointed if so I replaced its digitizer recently by paying too much money.) It was expensive when i bought it also... I cant stand buying a new phone these times... pff too many issues...
Sounds weird. I have made the experience that it sometimes helps to take the battery out, then keep pressing multiply and long the power button. Wait ~10 minutes. Insert the battery and try again!
Hopefully it helps!
Otherwise could maybe be kernel related. Try to flash another one (with recovery).

put out battery , put in & hold volume down while plugging cabel in. (if led not stays blue, pull out abttery, put in & reconnect but hold other button like menu key) --> try all buttons

Thanks for the answers. Yes unlocked bootloader.
Since the device doesn't boot into "flash" mode also, i am not able to flash ftf through flashtool or any firmware via SEUS.
I had managed to enter fastboot mode once!
Happened with USB3.0 port via "adb reboot-bootloader" command.
Still, I am not getting into fastboot again...
I will inform you, thanks guys.
EDIT: I did it once again thru adb in recovery and flashed a stock kernel. Let me see the battery drain is due to kernel or some hw damage.
I am sure hw is damaged...
Ultimately solved...
After i am able to enter fastboot mode via some funny method described above, i erased system partition and flashed kernel.sin of the official .587 ftf file of Sony Xperia Pro.
Now the device is able to enter flash mode and fastboot mode via normal ways...
Thanks guys...
EDIT: I dont understand how is it related to kernel? I thought that bootloader files are damaged which i cannot correct them.
There are many .sin files in the stock .ftf which i cannot flash any of them without flash mode.(i was able to enter fastboot mode only)

After i am able to enter fastboot mode via some funny method described above, i erased system partition and flashed kernel.sin of the official .587 ftf file of Sony Xperia Pro.
Now the device is able to enter flash mode and fastboot mode via normal ways...
Thanks guys...
EDIT: I dont understand how is it related to kernel? I thought that bootloader files are damaged which i cannot correct them.

The problem started occuring again. LED blinks again.
This time i am not able to enter fastboot via adb while in recovery mode or another mode. I can't enter fastboot or flash mode, cant install kernel. Tried two pc's many usb cables...
I don't know what to do...

Guys please help. I am very confused now: When i connect the phone to charger(AC) when the phone is OFF, the phone tries to enter flash mode!?! Led blinks green then the phone continues to open and offline charging animation comes as usual.
Sometimes the phone connects the charger in flash mode! But doesnt connect to usb in flash mode or fastboot mode. I know it is a bit confusing but that is the situation.
Thanks...
