On 23.4.A.0.570 it might be possible. Just download from http://nut.xperia-files.com dualrecovery for XZ2 and install it with USB Debugging enabled. Remember to allow ADB in SuperSU or KingRoot app.

[Q] How to install custom ROM on Xperia Arc S ?

Hey guys. I have a Xperia Arc S and I really wanted to install this ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207 ). But I don't know how to install custom rom. My phone is rooted I guess. I root my phone with Eroot (link - http://d-h.st/NUC). After that I installed root checker pro and it said your phone has been rooted successfully. Then I installed X-Parts to install CWM, but I failed to open the recovery mode. Yes I already tried pressing few times that volume down or back button. My android version 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.587). Please help me to install this ROM.
Sorry about my bad English.
You need to install cwm, there are installers that can be found on the forum, try searching cwm for xperia arc s, I am pretty sure you will find one. Then using cwm you can install rom. Try the arc s forum for finding cwm for your device.

Hey bro thanks for your reply. I searched for ''custom rom for xperia arc s'' and I found something like this ''use the cwm installer kit from doomlord''.
I don't know what is that mean. And then I found something like this ''For locked bootloader, use Xperia Auto Installer. Can be download at market.
For unlocked bootloader, flash custom kernel with CWM like Stock ICS kernel with CWM, ArcKnight and Doomkernel.''
I'm not sure my bootloader is locked or unlocked. Is there any way to confirm this thing ?
Use cwm auto installers,
No need of unlock bootloader.
For unlock bootloader just ask me how?

[Q] Can't access recovery

Hi im hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my phone using the easy root method, I had philz dual recovery and flashed a rom. I installed superSU from the play store (when I should have flashed it) and now I can't access my recovery. I've tried rerooting and reflashing using all three methods for installing the recovery and none are working. Does anyone have a solution to this, I've got a backup of my stock rom etc. but I cant access it or recover it without a recovery. Im pretty much lost on this, I posted in the recovery thread but it didnt get answered.

When you flash a rom when using a recovery for locked bootloaders then it deletes the recovery
You have to reinstall your recovery

Thanks for the reply. I've tried doing that but it won't work, I dont know if it has something with Superuser? it says it cant update the binaries. Either way I've tried all 3 options on the process to install the recover (install with SuperSU, Install with SuperUser and install on unrooted rom)

Why not just use the dual recovery installer instead of the zip?

I've tried but I didnt work I have firmware 17.1.1.A.0.402 I dont know if thats the problem. I dont know if im actually rooted, I can grant apps superuser access but i downloaded a rootchecker and it says I'm not. When I try to root using doomlords its fine until the service menu bit, the screen doesnt blink and put me back to the menu it just lets me into the screen I pressed.

heres the link for NUTs download page, http://nut.xperia-files.com/ file your looking for is
Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip (10.59MB)
this appears to be the latest version and is 17th link from the bottom of the right hand list
the flashable zip is just left of the installer
It should mean if u install a new rom and lose recovery just run the installer from windows and it should give u back recovery

Thanks, unfortunately thats what I have been using to try and regain recovery. Any other ideas? Im really struggling, I thought maybe if I unrooted and just re-rooted correctly it might help but I can't find an FTF file for my network I can only find unbranded which I very much doubt would work.
anyone?
I'm in the exact same position. I flashed monx 438 rom and I don't know what happened, I can't get into recovery either. I'm on unlocked bootloader. I have tried flashing the boot.img from 438 advanced stock kernel but at the command prompt it keeps on saying waiting for device. I have root access.
Same here.
I have a stock .402 ROM, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Have flashed the recovery a few times, and still cant get into it. Even when trying to access recovery via cmd prompt "adb reboot recovery"
I too am in the same boat... I rooted my phone, primarily to add the kitkat sd card fix, which works...
Then I went through the motion of unlocking bootloader, which I assume worked cos it wiped my phone clean. Had to reinstall everything...
Then I went through the motion of installing Cwm recovery. This went through OK. Well according to the command prompt it did.
But still I can't access recovery. I get no flashing LED lights before the Sony logo comes up, and then it just boots into normal phone mode.
I am on UK 3 network if it makes any difference......
I'd really love to be able to access my recovery cos I'm dying to apply the dual speaker and volume hack....
Don't know where to go from here..........
Just to add, I flashed to firmware 402 (uk unbranded) and re-rooted the phone and re-installed cwm recovery, but I get no led lights and no recovery mode. Oh well, just like a number one hit for 'the who', it was never meant to be....lol
sorry to resurrect but I have the same issue. how did you guys get back into recovery
I use a kernel with recovery
Vol up - cwm
Vol down - twrp
Cam key - philz
I can't flash kernol because I can't get into recovery even using the app to force boot

[URGENT HELP] Bootloop?

[URGENT HELP]
I was updating apps from playstore. So there was an update for superuser and i updated it as well. After the update superuser asked for some binary file update and had an option for installation through CWM/TWRP Recovery . Since i had it installed i selected that option and the phone botted to recovery and then nothing happened. I was expecting it to auto install. I try to reboot the phone but it boots to recovery everytime. What can i do to solve this? i dont want to flash a ROM because i need to backup contacts first
Next time, choose the "normal" option.
For your problem, reflash CWM through Odin or flash stock recovery.

Thanks Man! Worked phew.!

Root lost after updating to .575 and phone reboots when connecting usb

So basically what I did is I followed the tutorial by @nurps on updating from .570 to .575
I created my own flashable zip added dummy_flashable instead of supersu and after flashing phone asked SuperSU not installed would you like to install I cancelled it and rebooted and everything went ok, there was no supersu after rebooting I downloaded root checked and it failed.
I planned to install recovery but the moment I connect phone onto PC,the phone just reboots.
So basically there is no root or recovery.
Any ideas how to get root/recovery back ?
Thanks
