can anyone make a tutorial about how to install cwm with SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8
it says suerimission denied
On which firmware are you? 4.0.2.A.0.62?
Is your device rooted? Because permission denied meens, that you have no root.
If you want to install clockworkmod on lww, check this out. It will automaticly install cwm, but I don't know if it works on locked bootloader...
For SE Tweak installer you could check this out. It's a tutorial
how to root it then?
On which firmware version are you? 4.0.2.A.0.62?
Check out this here
But go to settings -> about phone -> build number and tell which version please!
Simplest Guide to install cmw !
As is usual with most updates, the Sony Ericsson Walkman Live lost root access after its recent update to Android 4.0.4. The guide below will show you how to obtain root access on this device running the 4.1.B.0.431 version of the OS and install ClockworkMod Recovery, enabling you to flash custom ROMs and do other things that require root access.
I. Before You Begin
1. This will not erase any data from your device, but as a precaution, do a backup of what you feel is important just in case.
2. This solution works by flashing a modified kernel that will provide root access. If you are not okay with this, do not proceed any further.
3. You will need a device with an unlocked bootloader for the procedure to work.
{ 4. If you want to install custom rom then download the custom rom and extract it. then there would a boot.img and replace it with the below bootextended blah blah.img } not understood? obviously... read full and then come back to this step.
II. Necessary Downloads
1. boot_EXtendedStockKernel_WT19i.img.
2. Fastboot Files
III. Flashing the Modified Kernel
1. Extract the fastboot-win32.zip file you downloaded above to a folder in your C:\ drive. You should end up with a folder named C:\fastboot-win32 containing fastboot.exe. Rename folder to fastboot for ease.
2. Copy the boot_EXtendedStockKernel_WT19i.img file you downloaded above to the same folder. Rename the file as boot.img for ease
3. Power down your device and put it into Fastboot Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up + Power buttons until it enters the Fastboot mode. Blue led will glow.
3. Open up a Command Prompt window. To do this on your Windows 7 PC, click on the Windows Start button, type cmd in the search box and hit enter.
4. Run the following commands: (Get into . fastboot directory first ):- It should look as this
c:\fastboot\ fastboot flash boot.img
That’s it! You should have a rooted device after a reboot!
pls hit thanks if i helped.!

But that's for unlocked bootloader only! With the method I posted, you can root without unlocking the bootloader...
@OP Please tell us which build number you have! You must go to settings -> About phone -> Build number and tell us the number (or at least the 3 or 2 last numbers). If .42, .58, .62, .69, .432, .578! Otherwise we can't help you
First off, greetings to all. Not trying to hijack the thread but I have a quasi-related question.
Have a LWW WT19i, with Android 4.1.B.0.431 rooted as per the instructions here, with a locked bootloader (unlock allowed: no). I want to install Real ICS r5.2 which states it works with a locked BL, however the instructions ask me to use CWM which I can find no clear tutorial on how to install (most guides suggest installing new kernel).
Any help would be appreciated. Also fini13, if you're as new to this as I am, the guide I listed should help you at least with the rooting.

When your phone is rooted, you sould install cwm with the Extreme Tweak installer. But make sure you select your phone, otherwise it could brick.
Give it a shot

my phone is xperia z2 d6502 lollipop 23.1.A.0.726 Locked bootloader
i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-d6502-23-1-0-726-complete-guide-t3085893
to do rooting for the phone
but after i flashed the 5. 17.1.2.A.0.314 ftf firmware file for d6502
it can't open, just repeated boot loop
what can i do?
1. First we need to setup our computer with all the pre required tools and drivers.
So, install the adb-setup-1.4.2.exe
2. Install the flashtool
3. Go to the flashtool installation directory and, go to drivers folder (C:\Flashtool\drivers by default).
Double click on Flashtool-drivers.exe and install the required Z2 drivers.
4. Now, copy the 17.1.2.A.0.314 ftf file into, C:\Flashtool\firmwares folder
4.1 Enable debugging mode in mobile and enable unknown sources installation
4.1.1. To enable debugging mode in your phone, tap on build number ( Settings->About Phone-> Build number) continuously for 7 times
4.1.2. To enable unknown sources installation, go to Setting-> security and enable it
5. Copy the flashable.zip to your external sd card and remember the location, where its been copied. And, Switch off your phone
6. Open flashtools from Computer's menu
7. Now, click on the lightning symbol on top left of flashtool
7.1. Select flash mode
8. Now select the .314 firmware, and if u don't want your data are deleted, uncheck the APPSLOG, CACHE and DATA under wipe section
9. Click on flash (Bottom Right corner) and wait until it asks you to connect the phone.
10. Now, press the volume down button and connect the phone, the above dialog box disappears and, flashing will be started.
11. Once flash is done, switch on your phone. (Close the flashtool)

this is all what i did
and i put the flashable.zip in internal storage

This guide works with 5.1.x out of the box or updated to 5.1.x and lost root with NO recovery. You don't have to deal with bootloader.

Preparation:
1. Install adb driver from Sony developers if you have not done so
2. Download 4.4.x ROM in ftf
3. Open Flashtool and click the right icon to open Xperifirm. Pick your favorite region and download. Close Xperifirm after ROM has been downloaded and unpacked and Flashtool will take care the rest, and leave Flashtool open.
4. Use PRFcreator to create your pre-rooted ROM in zip. Source ROM can be found at (username)\Flashtool\firmwares.
5. Backup your device using backup tool to memory card. ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED DURING PROCESS!!!
6. Fully charge your device because the process can take up to 90 minutes.
Process:
1. Turn off your phone, press and hold the volume down button and connect to host computer when Flashtool prompted to flash. (You have to wipe everything). Once flashing has been completed, unplug your phone and turn it on. If you encounter bootloop, flash again.
2. Run initial setup and enable Developers Tools (touch Build Number few times in about phone). Enable USB Debugging. Unplug and replug your phone and accept your host computer.
3. Locate and copy the pre-rooted ROM into INTERNAL STORAGE.
4. Run install.bat in lockeddualrecovery installer and choose option 3.
5. When your phone is in TWRP, locate and install pre-rooted ROM.
6. Reboot the phone. The kernel update process can take rather long, so please be patient.
7. Restore your phone.
8. Process completed.

Root the M4 Aqua E2303 Locked Bootloader/Install TWRP on 2.167/3.92
Before we begin:
Make sure you have the following:
•A Windows PC
•Flashtool (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetTnhWX0J5UG5hN28/view?pref=2&pli=1)
•The .128 firmware (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzVQf67OZ9NtMFotOXRycTZoSlk/view?pli=1)
•Patience
•A good internet connection
•15 to 20 minutes
• The M4 Aqua Root Toolkit (https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02odzn1/rootkitXperia_E23xx.zip?dl=0)
•ADB Drivers (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k/view?pref=2&pli=1)
•TWRP Toolkit (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yomdwq3p2le9hvi/M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer.zip?dl=0)
How are we going to do it:
The procedure is pretty straight forward, as the M4 Aqua is only on Android™ 5.0 we can take the kernel of the older versions of firmwares so we could root the device, while keeping the firmware version to the newest release (2.167/3.92). The method has been only tried on the E2303, there may be chances of it working for the E2306.
Let's begin! Part 1, Changing the Kernel:
First, we need to install the latest Flashtool version (link above), after you proceed with the installation of Flashtool, you need to install the Flashtool drivers, which can be found in C:/Flashtool/drivers or the path you selected flashtool to be installed. Once you open Flashtool drivers you want to select FLASHMODE DRIVERS, this is only so that the M4 will be recognised while in flashmode. After the drivers have been installed, you want to move the downloaded .128 firmware to C:/Users/*YourName*/.flashtool/firmwares or you can use the other method I will show later. Once you have done that you want to open Flashtool and wait for the Sync to finish. After that has finished, you will see a lighting icon in the top-left corner, you want to press the icon and select flashmode, now the second method, at the top you will see a path leading to the generic .tft folder in which Flashtool belives the .ftf files are located by default. You can change that by pressing the button on the right and lead the program to the path of the .128 ftf file. After you have selected your .tft file you will see on the right a lot of options *everything that the .ftf file contains*, if you want to keep the data on your device you can tick the first two options, a bit down on the right you will see a lot of options, including system.bin, you want to tick everything EXCEPT for the kernel.sin, this is the most crucial part. After that is done you want to let the program prepare the files, mean while you want to power off your M4 Aqua, after the process on Flashtool is done you want to press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting the phone to the PC, once you see the green led light you can leave the button, if everything was done right the process of flashing should begin. If everything went well the kernel should be flashed and the phone should safely power on. Now we can proceed to the second part. Rooting the phone.
2ND METHOD
You can downgrade to .128 firmware and download the .167 or .92 firmware and update everything except for the kernel. You can do this by going into Flashtool, and doing the steps above but TICKING the kernel.sin. Try this if the first method doesn't work.
Part 2, Rooting the phone:
Now that we have changed the kernel we can use the root toolkit to root the device. Download the root toolkit from the link above, but before you do anything you want to go to Settings>About Phone, scroll down to Build number and press it 7 times, after that is done you want to go back to Developer options, and you want to tick USB Debugging, after you have done that you need to install the ADB Drivers from the link above, after that is done you can connect the phone to the computer, now you want to extract the toolkit and run install.bat *No administrator rights needed*, and then you should see a screen on your phone asking if you want to trust the computer, you want to tick the box saying always and you want to press yes, now the rooting process should begin and your phone to be rooted. After this is done we can proceed to the part 3, installing TWRP
Part 3,Installing TWRP:
Now, that we have root we can install TWRP using another toolkit. This part is optional but if you want any custom ROM's you need this. This part is the easiest, you need to download the toolkit from the link above and just run the script. We don't need any additional steps as we did them in Part 2.
If everything went well you should now be rooted and have TWRP with a locked bootloader and on the newest firmware.
In case of bricking you can use the Sony PC Companion tool and repair my phone/ tablet option. YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA SAVED ON YOUR PHONE.
sir , can this apply to D2353?
I have only tried on E2303, but you use the right .ftf files the procedure should work

Root and flash stock kernel tft u use
I'm having issues with this also. Downgrading the kernel only causes a boot loop animation. I can downgrade everything to 128 and it works. Going back up to latest with everything BUT kernel causes boot animation loops also.
EDIT!
Oh heck yes, I did it! For anyone stuck in a logo boot loop despite following the above, here is how I did it:
- Use Flashtool to completely flash my .167 E2303 to .128.
- Use above tools to root and install TWRP.
- Use Flashtool again, but this time in Fastboot mode. I extracted the system.sin file from a .167 ftf and then flashed system using Flashtool.
- Reboot the phone into TWRP. Clear cache, dalvik. I did NOT clear data.
- Install M4 extras. Install AOSGP. Clear cache, dalvik.
- Reboot took about 15 minutes, probably less.. and BINGO.
Thanks to all.

When i upgraded from 128 to 167, phone works well but random reboots. Any fix this issue?
Clean install of .167 and .92. Flashing the .128 kernel causes the blue boot animation to hang (the start up sound cuts off half way). Flashing the previous kernel back over works.
Same happens when I flash .128 then everything but the kernel from .167 and .92.
Unsure what the FSC script option does, but yes or no makes no difference.

If your random reboots usually happen while downloading or updating apps in the play store, you should try this. Make sure you backup your data first just in case.

Unlocked my boot loader (I think) as once I accepted to unlock it there was no way to check if it actually was unlocked because everytime I did "fastboot OEM device-info" it returned something like "Failed(no controller)" < something like this anyway so with me not really knowing if IRA unlocked or not I went onto the next step.
With the scatter file and recovery.IMG to hand I opened up sp flash tools and then tried to flash the recovery. It then told me everything went okay and it was done. But when I boot to recovery it's still at stock.
I then tryed flashing with fastboot and same thing happens it tells me its all okay but its actually still stock
This leads to is my bootloader acc unlocked then? (I did try multiple times and uninstalled and reinstalled drivers)
So anyway is there any way to root my phone?

Thank you for your reply I have had a look and from what I can understand it looks positive, but.... I can't find the instructions or translate them properly for the actually rooting
Here google translate of first post, bold below it is what you need:
1. Fully comply with the instructions for the firmware of custom recovery
2. Download and put in the root of the SD card archive SuperSU
3. Turn off the smartphone, hold down the + volume and power buttons simultaneously, select "Recovery Mode"
4. Select "Installation" and select the previously downloaded archive.
5. Reboot the phone.
After enabling, Root-rights and SuperSU will appear.
