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

I have xperia mini ST15i rooted with stock kernel and ROM ICS. Now I want to use some custom ROM like CM10 JB for it but there is no way to install the clockworkmode recovery on it I tried a tutorial which let me install the tool on my device ad I installed the ROM manger but it is reporting that CWM is not compatible with my device. When I press the Backup current ROM it just reboot and nothing happens, while in article they recommend the CWM to use a custom ROM.
I tried to install the CWM from http://mobilecon.info/install-sony-xperia-clockworkmod-for-ics-and-gingerbread.html
It is installing it but no way to use it.
I'm looking on this article to install the JB on my device.

Try downloading xparts/xperia parts from playstore and install it. Hope your device is rooted when you try it
Btw for cyanogenmod you have to unlock the bootloader which voids warranty. If you want to unlock look in my signature there's a guide!

I have already tried xparts but it also say that its not compatible with my device while I have rooted my phone already.
Check the command prompt log. is it saying successful installation?if then pressing the correct key after sony logo appears on start-up will put it on the CWM

First of all,download the stock firmware from here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239?start=0&tstart=0 (For security,if anytime,anything goes wrong..you can revert back to your stock)
Flashtool for flashing custom rom and kernel: http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1350887833000
You can flash a custom kernel with CWM. I am using kernel Panic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861905

You have to unlock bootloader for flashing custom kernel.I think for flshing JB,sooner or later,you have to flash custom kernel anyway.Decide about unlocking bootloader.Searc google for "Official bootloader unlocking method"
Note: Installed CWM sometimes doesn't work if your phone gets stuck at sony logo after flashing custom roms.But custom kernel's CWM stays allways active.So,it is better.Just take a backup before flashing custom rom

But why should he unlock bootloader if he only wants to install cwm?
@OP: Please make some screenshots of the installation progress in cmd and in the app. This error message could maybe help us :good:
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227 it should work with locked bl too
then you need to reboot your phone and try to press volume down for multiple times when kernel logo (sony) appears
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.
I recently flashed my Lenovo P780 which was running 4.4.2 to MIUI V5 4.8.27 ROM using the guideline mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...iui-v5-4-6-2-jb-4-2-lenovo-p780-dual-t2795361
I also used the recovery image mentioned this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605 using mobileuncle.
I followed every step mentioned in the thread and flashed the rom. Now my device is booting but is stuck at boot. All I can see is MI.com logo. It is stuck like this for more than 30 mins.
I am unable to go back to recovery mode also. I don't know what to do. Please someone help!!
Ok. I solved the issue. Since I flashed the ROM when my Lenovo was running stock kitkat 4.4.2, the MIUI was stuck in bootloop.
What I did was I reflashed my P780 with LIFE ROM V7 using Flashtool. Then I flashed MIUI using TWRP. Now it works fine.

Yes, I also did the same thing. Life ROM is Savior with TWRP recovery built in. Whenever, I had a wrong flash and my mobile is dead, I returned to this by flashing with SP Tools, boot straight into TWRP and then restored my previous working ROM or tried flashing another ROM.
Welcome to MIUI world. I am sure you will enjoy this ROM. Go for OTA update to 4.8.30 which worked like breeze for me. Try the Android V5 Dark theme. You will love it.

Oh! I was going to ask whether OTA update to 4.8.30 was safe. Thanks for letting me know.
My lenovo softbricked after I tried to OTA update MIUI 4.8.27. Then, as you guys said, I installed Life Rom V7 and when I tried installing either MIUI 4.6 and 4.8.27 through TWRP, Roms got installed without any boot issue but I couldn't open any of the apps, even system apps like Dialer and File Explorer. Any suggestions? I would really love to go back to MIUI. May be there is a way to repack it and install through Flashtool?

Soooo... MIUI is for Jelly Bean not for KITKAT.
DO NOT FLASH OVER KITKAT.
IF YOU FLASH OVER KITKAT YOU WILL HAVE ALOT OF PROBLEMS LIKE: YOUR SD CARD WILL NOT WORK(THIS IS THE SMALLEST PROBLEM), BOOTLOOP,BOOTLOADER CORUPTED, ETC ETC.
SO BE WARNED...
If you want to test MIUI do this:
1. Flash stock s124 ROM;
2. Download Framaroot and root your phone;
3. Install Mobileuncle Tools;
4. Get TWRP 2.6.3.0 no other;
5. Flash TWRP with Mobileuncle Tools;
6. Download MIUI and put it in your phone SD Card;
7. Install from market Reboot Manager, give root right and reboot to recovery;
8. From SD Card flash MIUI wipe cache dalvik etc etc;
9. reboot and voila MIUI.
10 Good Luck.
Hi,
I've been fiddling around with Lollipop for the Z2 device today and I've got a question.
Are 5.1.1 based custom ROMs root-possible? I've first managed to make a stock pre-rooted 5.1.1 .ftf and everything was fine, both root and recovery, but my phone was overheating like crazy on it so I decided to try a custom ROM, Paranoid Android to be exact. I got the latest stable from their site and almost successfully installed it using the TWRP. Almost, because I forgot to re-flash the recovery. Then it turned out I can't root it and couldn't find a way to do so. I've since gone back to 4.4.2 using Flashtool, rooted it and installed the XZDualRecovery.
So, my question(s) is/are, what did I do wrong? Would flashing the flashable XZDualRecovery after the custom ROM and gapps sufficied? Or maybe flashing the SuperSU package? Or maybe, is it impossible to have a rooted custom ROM on 5.1.1? And if isn't, I'd be really grateful if someone supplied me with a hint or something, because I don't want to go through all the trouble only to downgrade again.
I'm using this for recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785598
And used this guide for the prerooted .ftf, though I guess it's not related at all to my questions, except the SuperSU package I'm thinking of using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: OK, I've tried my own advice and flashed SuperSU and flashable XZDualRecovery after flashing the custom ROM and Gapps. Now the phone is rooted, but the custom recovery doesn't stick. I tried installing again using the installer version, which soft rebooted into the custom recovery, but after the manual boot the recovery was gone and the garbled screens were back.
My question has changed then, what is the way to having a custom recovery on a custom ROM on lollipop 5.1.1?
EDIT2: Nvm fixed it... , I went to NUT's website and made recovery using his kernel creator.
Sorry for wasting space then and I hope my post helps someone eventually.
You can flash superSU via recovery on any rom
Worst that can happen is it bootloops.
Hello guys I need help with my Xperia z2 D6543 I tried several ways to leave the bootload permanent but I can't.
I went back to version 5.1.1 I did the Root and put the Dual recovery more from this point I can not do anything anymore, I tried to update the TWRP to 3.0.2
more every time I install the .img the phone does not turn on anymore.
I was trying to install Oreo 8.1Custom more every time I install the system breaks and no longer turns on the phone.
People help you if you can help me, give me a light at the end of the tunnel ..
People sorry for my English.
I don't understand what is the problem but you can always use flashtool to flash stock firmware.

The problem is that whenever I try to update twrp to 3.02 the device dies and does not turn on or in recovery mode it enters, with that I can not install any Custom Rom.
I install Stock rom 5.1.1 which I found, then I do Root, then I install Twrp 2.8.7, but when I install 3.0.2 the device dies ..
Why you don't install stock 6.0.1 with flashtool .
