Root and recovery are two different things.
To have recovery you need to install one, for locked bootloader I assume.

If you're on nemesis kernel, press power button several time, if you're using CWM for locked bootloader, press volume down key for several time until u saw the recovery!

There is no recovery built-in Sony stock kernel, as I said you will have to install one, either recovery for unlocked bootloader, or flash a custom kernel that has one built-in.

When we use flash tool will ask to press and hold back button so for SE WT19i which button we need to press.

I cannot find place to type.
It is very possible that the volume up key does the job.
the volume up key doesn't seem to work... any ideas why is it?

Do you mean that it doesn't work when the device has loaded android?
If yes, then reflash the official kernel and see if the problem persisits.
If the problem persists then it is very possible that you have a hardware failure...
If you have flashed my kernel and you mean that you cannot enter CWM by pressing volume up, just press the power on-off key once or two, when the (white)
se logo turns brighter and you will enter CWM.
i mean, i cant get into fastboot mode by clicking the volume up key so i cant flash any rooms
think that i had unlocked the bootloadrer i used the test point method with s1tool( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1285285 ) it didn't gave me any error message, it looked like it worked fine, tried volume up volume down even the home button and various combinations of it... the volume buttons load the CWM and if i restart holding the volume up key it boots into charging mode...

I can't understand a few things about your case.
Have you already flashed my kernel?
What version of CWM are you running?
To enter fastboot mode you have to connect the usb cable to your device,hold the volume up key and connect the usb cable to your computer.Then the led light turns blue...
i didn't flashed the kernel because i can't boot into fastboot mode, maybe because the test point method with s1tool didn't unlocked the bootloader, but it looked like it did?
i am using the cwm version 5.0.2.7

You can enter fastboot mode, even if your bootloader is locked.You can't install custom kernel though.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to service info, go to Configuration submenu and check the status of your bootloader.
If the text under rooting status is:
Bootloader unlocked:Yes
then your bootloader is unlocked.
If the text is:
Bootloader unlock allowed:yes
then the bootloader is still locked.
About getting in fastboot mode now.Try searching the web on how wt19i gets into fastboot mode.
Visit this page also:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
mine says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
saw somewhere that it means that the bootloader is unlocked?
the only 2 methods that i can find for booting into fastmode is the volume up key method mekes it go into charging mode (it shows sony ericson on the screen as usual then it shows up a battery with a power logo in the middle)and i saw someone say that he entered fastboote by holding volume up + home key and connecting it to the pc, both didn't worked?

Try visiting this page and read carefully the second step:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
Your bootloader is still locked and cannot be unlocked.
Sorry...
This method also work with 4.0.2.A.0.62 version.

Hey everyone,
How do I reboot my Xperia U in recovery mode?
Someone says, I have to press the Vol+ button repeadly while booting, another one says the Vol- button and powerup button, but nothing worked.
I used boot in recovery in the ROM manager, but my phone booted normally.
regards
MasterBolle
The way is vol +
If this doesnt work for you try tapping the screen on Sony Logo.

Install a recovery first
Try cwm recovery
Hello,
I recently bought a HDC Legend S4 and wanted to root it and install CWM.
After having it rooted, I used this toturial to install CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44660171&postcount=417&nocache=1&z=8685201136395335
The installation seemed to be succesful, after it was done it rebooted into CWM.
Then, when I tried to boot into CWM from a power off state, I wasn't able to do that (Volume up button + power button).
When I choose 'Reboot into recovery' in ROM Manager, it just boots into CWM.
Any idea why this is? It's a limitation of the method I used to install CWM?
Regards
Hi,
First of all, have you tried booting into CWM recovery by pressing the "volume down" button when the screen shows the logo (whatever shows first)?
Second, have you unlock the bootloader? If not, maybe it is a limitation from the method of the CWM that you used.
I'm just a newbie trying to help.
Please click Thanks if it helps.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
I realized that fast boot was enabled, after disabling it, it worked just fine.
I have a stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed on my xperia P handset. I wanted to install the custom rom CM 11 on my xperia. So I first rooted my handset using Doomlord Easy rooting toolkit. Then I copy pasted the custom Roms zip file in the internal storage. Then in order to install the custom rom I need to boot into the recovery mode of xperia P.
So I first tried using Quick Boot but it goes on rebooting to the regular jelly bean OS and doesn't enter the recovery mode.
Could anyone guide me which step I actually missed for installing the custom rom. If a perfect guide is provided I would be very grateful.
press power button + vol up button for 5 seconds... it will vibrate 1 time.. it will reboot.now keep pressing vol down key or power button ((because in some kernel key is different.)) key until it displays a menu in blue fonts.it's clockworkmod recovery.:good:

I tried doing the steps as guided by you. On pressing the volume up key and the power button it vibrates 1 time then I kept on pressing the power button. So then the phone booted in safe mode again and again and then when I stopped pressing the power button the phone booted normally again in Jelly Bean. Is there any problem with unlocking the bootloader. I have received a key for unlocking the bootloader on my GMail account when I requested it on the sony's website.
did u tried with volume down key to enter recovery..? u said that u wanna install cyanogenmod ..so u need a custom kernel which can be found in same zip file of rom named 'boot.img'.& & a custom kernel needs unlocked bootloader. if u have to unlock your bootloader ..u have to search ..it's very easy and can be found on this forum,too(( if not pm me i'll send detailed steps.)).& yes,u are gonna need that key which you received to unlock bootloader .
u can always use ( fast boot ) to flash cm11
it`s better and best ......
any ways u could inter recovery mood by pressing volm+ 2 time`s after the phone vibration ....when sony log show...
its always work
If you installed CMW, to enter it I push about 10 or 15 times, while the phone is turning on, until it loads the cmw

For CWM, turn on phone, when it first shows the Sony logo start pressing various times (Volume - ) key (don't push one time and keep the finger on the key!!) until it enters cwm recovery.

For me it works only with Volume '+'
In CM11 zip, u have the boot.img... flash it using fastboot (doesn't work on Windows 8 or 8.1), then u'll have the CM11 kernel... turn on the phone and when it is starting, it'll vibrate when showing sony logo, just tap the power button when vibrates and will enter in CWM, then just follow the tutorial in CM11 topic.
so what's the right way to reboot in recovery mode? I've this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2626639

I got same problem to reboot in CWM mode. Following all recommendations in this thread. Did not work.
However when coming back to one of the Xperia Phone instructions to reboot in CWM, I tried again to follow those instructions given by following links :
Sony Xperia P CyanogenMod 11 Project page Thread on xda-developers https://sites.google.com/site/androdevlinux/xperia-p/xperia-p-roms/cm11-download/
Here are extracts which I strictly followed :
First time flashing CyanogenMod 11.0 your device, or coming from another ROM? You need to be on Unlocked bootloader
Fastboot kernel(boot.img) from the rom zip
Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery
Format data and cache
Flash the Zip
Reboot​
The "Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery" is really the trick to enter CWM mode ....
i installed a custom rom, but due to some reason it hasnt installed properly and not letting me access settings. and moreover i am not able to install CWM recovery as vol - button way is not wrking.
Wht shd I do?? please help
