Or have the adb driver extracted somewhere.....it shuld install automatically and do not mount u r sd card
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:
Download the ADB drivers extract them

ADB Driver download

http://www.mediafire.com/?deq0b7zzvxnznqr

Plu phone to PC, My computer > Manage > Device Manager > Click on your Phone will be named "SEMC USB HOST" or something

*You'll get SEMC USB host

Im getting the ADB device as i've installed drivers

Right Click "Update device drivers"

Then hit "Browse my computer for driver software

Then point the setup thingy to your Extracted files folder of the ADB drivers

And sit back while drievers are installed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] siddharthsure93:
Yup Nice one dude.......But it shuld install automatically.....If u have any problems try the above method ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kiwiBratwurst:
Hi, Running 2.3.4, Build number - 4.0.2.A.0.42

Im following all those steps (hard to screw that part up) the only difference I can think of is the version of superuser or busybox I am running (haven't changed them since rooting a day ago so most people would be on the same version as me).. but it seems to auto allow the CWM script without any input from me.. (it comes up with a tiny pop up that says granted superuser permission) weird that neither way works tho.. I just did some other mods (like power widget in status bar) and that worked fine.. so my root explorer and permission changes are working.. oh well.. Guess I will wait a while and see what happens.. would be nice to make a system backup.. no decent Roms to install yet anyway, I bought the phone for the HDMI output and OTG USB no point going to a 3rd party ROM when all the features of Stock are not working properly yet.

Thanks for your help tho.. let me know if you think of something else to try.

Regards

It could be a number of things.. the new rooting methods might install a non compatible busybox or superuser.. or it could even be Windows Version related (I'm on a netbook running Win7 64bit SP1) seems it works for most tho and thats great :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] imranaryan:
can i root my neo v and install cwm5 witout unlocking bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] grizzlyspid86:
You can't flash custom ROM using this CWM method. Believe me. YOU MUST UNLOCK BOOTLOADER TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM. The 'hot boot' CWM must be working for flashing. Not this one. And yes, this CWM method can be used as backup/restore.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] siddharthsure93:
Yup,tats what the title says........... ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chiujiewei:
hey guys..i need to ask a question..can i flash themes and tweaks in CWM with locked bootloaders? as i know we cant flash custom roms nor kernels in locked bootloaders via CWM..only backup and restore...since the bootloader is locked and the CWM is installed then that means i can only backup and restore? the point is whether i can flash themes and tweaks with CWM in a locked bootloader:confused::confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] del1701:
Yes you can ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Elessar76:
You can install custom roms based on stock kernel too, tested on NEO and Arc.

I install CWM without problem, but when i press Vol. down on boot CWM don't appears... Any suggestion?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] siddharthsure93:
You have to press the volume button repeatedly( Not hold it continuously ) when white sony ericsson logo appears ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vsaltao:
... wich roms do you know that use stock kernel??? i dont find any
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Elessar76:
SE_Tweaked for example. Arc has more roms based on stock rom, but it can be ported if creators wants. In NEOV subforum there are some more that can work on NEO except for the camera.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluexp:
Are you sure about this?

Did you test it yourself installing SE Tweak using this CWM and locked bootloader?

Because once I tried it and my phone got stuck in the first boot showing only Sony Ericson text (before starting boot animation).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Elessar76:
Tested by myself. update-script of SE_Tweaked has to be modified a little, but works 100%.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vargens:
After SEUS update, CWM recover gone, but rooted again, and a new install of the cvm, worked perfect :) Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dioggo92:
Do we have any (stock but tweaked) roms that can be installed in locked bootloader with this? If yes, can someone point some?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
Well I could make one but honestly I don't see the point at all just unlock it , saves so much time for you and devs

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maliceomalice:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
No. But it required root.

whr can i find cwm for unlocked bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DokaponKingdom:
guys, i can't go to cwm.

i used to have cwm working good but after some time i flashed the wrong zip for my xperia pro.. i repair it using pc companion root and install cwm once again but when i press the volume button repeatedly, it'll stuck at sony ericsson sign and i have to remove the battery and reboot it again.

can anyone tell me what's the problem. what did i do wrong.. and how to fix this problem.

MK16i Rooted Locked Bootloader
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maliceomalice:
okay...now im using FW .58 and rooted. if i downgrade to FW.42, do i need the CWM still works..?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
where is the fix permissions in cwm?

it stands not in advance,

is something wrong with that?

im on locked bl rooted 62
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aarush:
works with neo v :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] adridu59:
Yes, wipe your cache & dalvik cache and reboot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] szlevi:
Another dud installation here... I went through all #1-4 just fine, it worked...

...except if I keep pushing volume down during bootup the whole phone freezes at the first (white on black) Sony Ericsson logo, nothing happens.

Again, the script itself ran fine, updated the 'outdated' binary etc but alas, no CWM loads whatsoever.

I must say this script is far from perfect...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I just tried old copying method using Root Explorer, just out of curiosity. As install-cwm1.cmd worked before. But I wanted to try manual way :)

Copy files, change permissions(all files to 755), shut down, turn on, repeatedly pressing volume-, nothing happens, phone boot to OS.

Where could be the problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] x_one:
Hello,

I'm new to the Android and I have question about CWM.

I found this awesome app after I've got bootloop on my NeoV..

I had to use Sony PC Companion app and repair my phone but I've got FW .62.

Now I have downgraded to .42 using Flashtool and generic FW but I have problem with MMS using GoSMS Pro. I want get FV .42 like I had at the beginning, cellular network branded and configured.

And now is the question..

I've done nandroid backup on my wife's NeoV with is still original .42.

Can I use this backup, restore it in my device then restore to the defaults to make it fresh? Will this make my phone with FW like I've bought it?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards, X.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
I cant get it to work any way auto, cmd, manual. folowing all the steps for each method to a dot, flashed (tried SEUS, Companion to restore. FlashTools, Wotan to downgrade) .266, .42, .58. Locked Bootloader. Rooting with easy tools zergRush. Root seemes ok as root aps work no probs, but CWM freezes if any button is pressed at first SE Logo ( just like fiew other peps) and have to take the battery out to reboot. If i try any software method for rebooting in to recovery it just reboots back to Android, as if CWM is not there at all. dubble checked files in bin and xbin everything looks ok. Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluet0ps:
this is exactly what happened to my neov. and to add a little more info, after flashing .42>root>cwm=phone hangs when i try to enter cwm by pressing vol down key. but when i install .42 and i don't install cwm then the phone just boots normally, NO HANGING.

please help us install CWM! thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
Are you planing reflashing to LT18 firmware + root + CWM?

I did with no luck :confused::mad:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluet0ps:
^no i was just trying to install a generic .62 rooted rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446308. however, i accidentally downloaded and installed the kernel for mt15 instead of mt11.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
i see

ok thanx
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
is there any way to flash CWM backup on to the phone, if i cant get in to CWM (convert it to .ftf) ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluet0ps:
I've managed to install and have a rooted .62 on my neo v. but still no love from CWM
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
same here on my Arc S. anyone wth a solution ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kreda:
In my neo v the same problem.On all stock kernels
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluet0ps:
Uh oh, sounds like we have to unlock our bootloader to fix cwm issue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
where did you read that? if you dont mind sharing
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluet0ps:
^just a guess, actually. hehe. but here's the news. i've unlocked my bl but still havent figured out how to install/enter cwm, even after trying different stock kernels.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
guess ok.

yeah i tried diferent kernels and diferent ways of instaling CWM and it does not work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluet0ps:
Turns out my guess is right afterall. Depending on the rom i use i always get cwm except when i'm using stock kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
Some of these comments omg I think you lads need to read more all custom kernels have cwm installed

After installing this app get a terminal app

And type this

Su

Now type reboot recovery

This if you done correct will boot you onto recovery but why I'm even saying this I don't know

Just unlock and that's it

from my sky high mind
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] djmrush:
Dod everything correctly. It reboots and gets stuck on the first SE logo. I'm sceptical about unlocking because I'm still under contract, and since relocking bootloader is not 100%
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
lol, can someone edit first post and write that files from "old copying method using Root Explorer" use tap on screen (not volume down) to enter recovery :)

also, this works on ICS beta, and AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1.

And I have another question. From where does sh file came and what is his purpose?:) I mean the one I had before installing CWM. If I remember correct, in root explorer, next to permissions I seen "->busybox". So I take that as it's something to do with busybox :) It's size is 1.90MB, and the one from CWM is 720KB.

Anw, I'm using AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1 and I see a script in "AOSP_beta1_hotfix2.zip" with name installbusybox, which runs(install) busybox file from system/xbin. I still haven't flashed that zip, as I didn't have need to.

My questions is what are drawback's by replacing old sh file with the one from CWM
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mohanparvatham:
It's working perfectly on Xperia Pro.....(use install-cwm1.cmd)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
yes. you can also use seus or pc companion to return to stock.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] siddharthsure93:

Hi guys i have installed the CWM and next i have installed a ICS rom.. the phone stuck at the first sonyericsson logo..

when i try to re-enter in recovery nothing happens, it try to boot but remain on the first sonyericcson logo.. why?? :(

ps: and i have unlocked my bootloader with the easiest method with the code from the sony site..

but in s1tool i see it's not unlocked because in the loader version field i see "R" instead of "r" why?? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
what did you expected? by installing ICS rom you overwrited CWM files. did you wipe everything before installing ICS? have you installed ICS kernel before flashing ICS rom?

who knows, maybe s1tool differently shows for bootloaders unlocked by official way. try flashing some custom kernels..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] JimMorrison723:
It is good for me if i have an unlocked bootloader? Or i should install something else?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jaycee1981:
Can I use this recovery for Xperia pro mk16i????
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Ok so I was on rooted but stock android 2.3 and I installed this recovery. Everything went fine then I installed CM7.2 and everything is still working fine.

What is scaring me now is this warning that was in the Original post

Do NOT use this recovery if you are not in Stock 2.3 firmware.

Does this mean during installation or now that I have CM7.2 I can't use this recovery anymore? Can I flash anymore roms or no? What exactly does this warning mean?

Thank you and btw I am using an Xperia Play.

Ok. I managed to install CWM using flashtool. Entering CWM no problems, creating backup no problem, but after restoring from backup the phone was freezing every time.

puppet13th was nice enough to help, it was not easy so THANX VERY MUCH MAN.

The problem is that my partition layout got messed up. this is how it is setup.
