CWM recovery is included in kernel [in Xperia devices], so if you want a cwm, just flash a custom kernel (through flashtool).
consider that the kernel must be compatible with your ROM
If I can remember well there was a script written in shell to install CWM from Linux, just open the terminal and change to the directory where CWM files are and type:
Code:
sudo su
source install.sh
BTW, wrong section

It's simply. You must flash boot.img or kernel.elf.
First install fastboot (on Ubuntu 13.10)
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot.
Second move boot.img or kernel.elf in home.
Open terminal:
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img (or kernel.elf).
It's the best way
Maybe he has locked bootloader

thanks guys...
but flashing boot.img from a custom rom using flashtool is more convinient for me...
thanks to you all...

You said that you get (!) when flashing something from sd card, right???
Copy update.zip to some other sd card and try to flash from it.
Here're steps for flashing rom with fastboot:
Go to fastboot mod by clicking 3 times power button and volume down button when toshiba logo appear. Then, connect you tablet to computer via usb(if you don't have drivers-for windows and if you don't have fastboot binary-linux and mac go here). Now, unpack update.zip file in some directory. Then, open terminal, go to that directory(from terminal-cd /path-to-that-directory/) and type this(to erase system partition):
Code:
fastboot erase system
then type this(to flash system partition)
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
This to flash kernel partition:
Code:
fastboot flash linux boot.img
and this to flash recovery partition:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At the end, erase date and cache:
Code:
fastboot -w
You can flash all at once:
Code:
fastboot flash all
(I'm not sure for this, I never tried this one)
Play a little and you might fix your tablet
Good luck!!!
thank's i will and i will let you know
i cant flash/root my folio 100...i tried with fastboot and superoneclick...

Whether you are on GB or ICS? Have you tried this? It also has a tutorial for rooting ICS. But in either case, you need have your GB ROM.

- Reflash your phone with current firmware using Sony Update Service
- Copy the blobs Update Service caches from the update to local directory
- Use Flashtool to decrypt and recreate the tft from the blobs
- Unzip the ftf and unpack the boot image together with to kernel
- Edit /default.prop and set ro.secure=0
- Repack the root initramfs file system
- Create a new boot image with the root filesystem and the kernel
- Unlock the boot loader
- fastboot the new image (no need to flash it)
- "adb shell" to the phone, you are now the root user
- remount /system read-write
- add busybox, su and whatever you like
Check www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB77gWRUI_A for details about getting your original image.
See http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/ about building the boot image.

But now to next problem... If i run Sony PC Companion I will get anser NO FW found for your device???? (i select repair)

Ah, strange. Update Service is supposed to reinstall the same version already installed. Maybe Sony not yet updated their servers.
Still I believe you can work around this. The nice thing about Sony Xperia is that when you unlock its bootloader, you can boot your phone over usb using fastboot without having to flash the image. I.e. a single one-time-boot of your image, without any permanent modifications of your phone.
This means you can always try booting another boot image than the original. It don't have to work perfect, just brining the devices up so you can access it via usb and "adb shell". It need to use the same disk devices (mount right partition at right mount point), so try using a image from another Xperia and hope for the best. You can check the mount points using the command "mount" in the shell, compare with the mount points of some other Xperia you can get the ROMs to.
So download a Xperia ROM from XDA, edit ro.secure=0, recompile the boot image again and try fastboot the phone (do not flash it!). If it boots, don't care if everything things isn't working properly, just transfer su and busybox to /system/bin and then halt and restart the phone - this time from the internal flash (= original image), and you got the phone using its original image, but with the su and busybox you need to become root.
Again - do not flash your image, only boot the phone with it. If you flash it, and don't got the original image to restore back, your phone is bricked.
Problem solved.

Hi guys,
I created ftf from blobs and unzip ftf.
I used Nero Young guide to make custom rom (kernel), but when I need to add boot.img to my kitchen folder, I can't find it.
I tried to follow this guide http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/, but without success. I also try SIN2IMG, mkbootimg... but nothing
Can someone tell me another way to make boot.img, or upload boot.img for ST27i.

Hello everyone,
Today i tried JKAY framework, installing went fine.
But when I rebooted my phone it goes straight to recovery.. I tried flashing my rom again (wanamlite) but still goes straight to recovery.
Another thing is that if my phone is off and I plug in the USB it turns on by itself.
I can't restore a backup I made because of a md5 mismatch so I'm at a lose here.
Any idea what has happened and if I permanently destroyed my phone?

Try an ADB shell while in recovery and generate a md5 sum through ADB SHELL md5sum and wait for it to finish.
Then restore your NANDROID backup...

Or try to flash a stock rom with ODIN or emergency firmware upgrade in KIES.
The second one will install your carrier's latest firmware based on your phone's serial number

I assume you mean adb shell via windows.
C:\ADB>adb shell md5sum
If so, it's taking quite some time.
Already tried with kies but it doesn't connect properly . I can only see whats on my external sdcard.

Mmmhhh... Maybe you should flash a stock rom, root it and modify it's recovery, boot, and do the ADB trick from a command prompt or from a terminal emulator from the phone itself.
And it takes it's time to generate the md5 sum. Just don't desesperate and have faith

The md5checksum trick didn't work. I still get a md5 mismatch.
Downloading a stock firmware to flash via odin.
And what exactly do you mean by modifying the boot and recovery?

I meant installing cd-root for your kernel and hijack the recovery
Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
Ah yes, ok. I get flashing cf-root, but hijacking the recovery I'm unfamiliar with.
I hope I'm not being a complete noob by asking you this.
You are not. Only don't have this particular knowledge....
Fortunately you came to the right place.
Search for CWM recovery, download it once rooted, and follow instructions to get it to work...
Hijacking means substituting stock CWM with a much more advanced one

Ah, Philz for example?
I just finished flashing a stock rom and it works just like it got out of the factory
That was the idea...

Oh I understand hijacking recovery now hehe. So something like Philz recovery?
Yes, Philz recovery gives you many more options and tools when things go wrong.
Hi, i'm getting a confusion regarding installing "boot.img" on our Xperia M4. Does anyone know if installing "boot.img" through ADB wil be the same as installing "boot.img" through flashtool.. if no, can someone explain the process of ADB in the comments.. thank you..
I didn't get the chance to encounter installing thorugh ADB because my last rooted phone (live with walkman) doesn't need ADB to install kernel and custom rom.. I just used flashtool to flash kernel (boot.img) ..
i really appreciate any comments and help you'll gonna give..

Do you have a backup of the file, or of the whole ROM? Also, if it says unauthorized it is because of the adb key. Do you have TWRP or other custom recovery with a file manager?

I don't have your device, but if there is a working custom recovery, you should be able to flash it safely with flashify app from the playstore. Once you get TWRP or other custom recovery installed adb will work be default. (While in recovery)
Then you can move your backup xml to it's original location and chmod 0644.

Just realized your device won't boot so flashify won't help. My apologies. We could flash it with dd commands, but if adb is unauthorized, you won't be able to get shell.
