Hi,
my friend is using Xperia U currently at cm11, using CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery. Wifi isn't working for him, so he wants to get back to cm10.2, the problem is that he gets error 7, which afaik is cause of the 'bad'/wrong recovery. Which recovery should he install?
Fastboot the boot.img in the CM 10.2 zip and enter recovery and flash

Hello there,
I have recently attempted to install a custom ROM on my Xperia U . I rooted using bin4ry , then unlocked bootloader. Everything was fine up to that point. Then I tried to use RecoverX to install CWM. The tool said it was a success, but device could not boot into recovery.It looked like the tool did nothing. I then found a custom kernel by AOKP that had CWM Recovery in it. I flashed and got recovery , but stuck in bootloop. I recovered from this by flashing B.10 stock firmware on my Xperia U using flashtools. I am now looking for ways to install CWM recovery safely.
What's the best way to install CWM in my current situation?
What caused the bootloop I experienced(out of curiosity)?

AOKP is not stock rom..
so its kernel is also not based n stok rom...thats why you got bootloop...
just download kernel which is based on sock rom like trancsend kernek...or phantom...
if you have jb then experimenatal kernel will be best....
and use flashtool to flash kernel...it is the easiest way to flash kernel..
all this kernels are prerooted and has cwm 6.x.x recovery.....
you will get this kernels in devlopment section....
Thank you!
Got it working!
I started off by installing transcendence kernel for stock ROMs. That went flawlessly and so I was presented with CWM recovery(which I started by repeatedly pressing Vol- when the transcendence logo comes up). Went to look for a ROM and found MIUI v4 for Xperia U, followed the instructions and flashed with CWM recovery.Very beautiful ROM. I got all my files from the Xperia U Development section.
Thanks for your help and a big thank you to the developers who make this possible. highfive:

Most kernels nowadays have light notification or vibration or borh for the time you need to press the volume button for cwn, if yours does you only need to press it once within 3 seconds.
Hello there,
I have CM 11 right now. When I first installed it, I had Clockwork mod on. I switched it to TWRP, and I just got an update for CM 11 today. I tried installing the update, but now my phone is recovery booting into TWRP every time it boots up.
What can I do?
Thanks!

I had flashed "CMW 11 unofficial-weekly3(4.4.2)" for Xperia P . but after this I am unable to reboot into recovery for flashing gapps or other updates.
I have also tried "Rom Manager" to boot into recovery but all in vain.
1-So I want to the way to boot into recovery using any computer-software tool/app/method. ?
2-Is there any way to flash rom without using CWM recovery?
PS: The developer says it was a bug in the ROM, which has been fixed but since I am unable to boot into the recovery , I cant flash the update right now

I believe you have to fastboot flash the boot.img file from the ROM, then reboot to recovery and flash the ROM and GAPPS. It is usually in the OP
your bootloader NEEDS to be UNLOCKED
you can then install a recovery via fastboot and use it to flash the rom
