Xperia Neo V Not booting into CWM Recovery

Hi, I was installing a Custom ROM for my Xperia Neo V. The installation finished and I rebooted my phone and now it is stuck in the Sony Screen. Now the problem is I can't get into CWM recovery mode. I tried Holding down the Volume "-"ve button and the "+"ve button and then turning on the phone, I tried holding the back button, I tried holding the home key and menu button aswell.. I even tried repeatedly pressing the Power button. But still haven't been able to boot into CWM recovery mode. I was able to boot in before through the app xParts.. But now I can't seem to boot in through a power on + holding down Volume -ve button. There is no Blue LED light at the Sony screen either.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I've been trying to solve this and boot into the CWM Recovery so I can reinstall a ROM and use my phone.

Thank you very much,

Randika

Phone: Xperia Neo V (MT11i)

Kernel: Suave 6

ICS 4.0.4

Version: 4.1.B.0.587

Any further information you would require I would be glad to post here. Thank you!

It seems, u don't have CWM with this cust ROM.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Correct install of ROM removes recovery. As system is wiped.

Yes I figured that I had soft bricked my phone.. Flashed a stock ICS ROM and managed to fix it.. Thanks for the help :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] speed.light:
can you help me installing CWM , i have Xperia Arc LT15a , but when i tried to install it using X-Parts nothing happend , even with ROM Manager it didn't work !!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
You could try using an earlier version like version 5
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Evo_Shift:
Version 5 has worked for me when the newer versions have not on my Xperia Play so I agree, try version 5.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] nmdang:
I've installed CWM recovery successfully. But when I tried to reboot to recovery by x-parts, nothing happened. I've also tried to press many keys continuously.

Please help! :(

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
If you can't get into recovery, have you tried using an earlier version like version 5?

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
1) If you need to send your phone in for repair, flashing stock firmware with FlashTool or -better yet- repairing with SEUS, will remove all signs of root as well as recovery.

2) No, custom kernels on 2011 Xperia devices are only flashed via fastboot, which requires unlocked bootladers. So, you can only flash themes, tweaks and make/restore backups.

3) If nobodyAtAll makes a new version of CMW, the app will be updated to support it too. So far, I believe there are no plans for such thing though, as it's fully functional as is.

PS: I just did the Greek translation too, so probably in the next version the app will be displayed in Greek too. ;)

Hi, thanks to all for making this app.

I have a question tho, when I press the power button down I Dont get the restart option in the menu all I get is silent mode, airplane mode, shutdown or screen shot, is this normal, or just a bug.

the app works fine as i have done a full backup,and installed some themes and mods using it.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Just to clarify... The app is an installer. CWM IS installed into system. This app has nothing to do with How CWM functions.

They are independent of each other.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] zolaisugly:
ok thanks for the clarification, i may not have used the correct terms etc....

on my x10 i used xrecovery and when i pressed the power button i had option for reboot....

when using this i dont see reboot option when i press and hold the power button.

like i said before is it supposed to be like that.

it all works good as i have updated and installed using it.

again many thanks to all who helped with this app/tool
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
That i because you had a reboot mod :) this app doesn't do that. (yet might add something like it later) :)

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] captain67:
You can use this cwm to install a reboot mod. A theme I installed using it came with that mod.

I was just wanting to check just in case it might have been a bug.

Hello,

I have a xperia play r800x locked bootloader, and after installing CWM recovery I'm too slow to get into it. I boot my phone I see the blue light flash for a mil a second and I can't time it right. I have flashed this rom fine:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416470&highlight=wifi

its a ICS theme for locked bootloaders but I have to flash DooMLoRD's WiFi Modules because I have no wifi only 3G rite now.

I'm asking if there's a way to make the interval that the led flashes blue and waits for the volume key to be pressed down longer or another way to instal the wifi modules.

and thanks for read this btw
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
First of all, you can press any key. I use the Back button mostly.

Also, you can start spamming the buttons before you see the blue LED.

That way you'll be sure to go into recovery. ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Blue LED stays Lit for like 2 or 3 seconds. if you have flashed a ROM you are no longer running this recovery ;) as the rom will have wiped the system partition to install. you can reinstall this version of recovery to make it work like it did b4 just runt the app again. or you will need to find out how the version you have installed needs to be booted.

Also i am unsure why he says to flash doomlords drivers if your BL is locked as your kernel will still be the stock kernel. so you should be using stock drivers. just a thought. but i am not privey to PLAY development.

I think that we all need to take a step back and understand a few things.

this recovery was made by nobodyAtall i jsut made the installer app.

This recovery installs itself INTO the system partition. Basicaly (as i understand it) it hijacks the offline charging to run a script and check for key press then boots the recovery.tar from the system partition if needed.

THAT MEANS! if you flash something that WIPES system this recovery is GONE. ( be it a zip, or a recovery backup ect. )

now most people that make roms for locked bootloaders will include a version within the rom it's self. but you will have there version of they're script as such it will work differently to the script I made. ie you may not have a blue led, you may have to press a different button, ect ect ect.

If you have flashed a ROM ( or mod that wiped system ) i recommend ( and insist ) that you ask the ROM Dev to clarify how to use it's included recovery :D as unfortunately we really cant help.

IF it does not include recovery ( sometimes this can happen ) you can try to reinstall this recovery. :) and you will be set. That said this recovery will ONLY work on STOCK BASED 2.3.* firmwares.

i mean no offence to any one and i will always help where i can. but unfortunately in these situations i really cant.

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] cj360:
Okay that ^s helpful I assumed just installing after I flashed the rom it would be back to the state it was with the stock rom.

thanks

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Evo_Shift:
Not in there either. Your post made me think to do a search though and the only place charger is located is /sdcard/nAa_CWM/charger. I am nervous to just grab that out of there, rename it and stick it in system/bin though when there isn't currently one located in there.

What would just leaving chargemon as is do when I flash a different kernel that includes CWM?

It seems odd to me you would change the name of anything in system/bin which would then leave you without anything called charger at all but I have no clue. I think I'll just delete the recovery tar file, flash my kernel and see if everything works. If it doesn't I'll start all over with flashtool.

Would you mind walking through the steps you used to get it to work? I can't get it to boot into recovery. I have a rooted Ray, but a locked boot-loader. I've modded the phone using V6 SuperCharger, so I don't know if that's causing problems. When I boot the phone, I hold the volume down key. Nothing happens unless I hold it all the way through the boot sequence. Then, I end up in Safe Mode.
