Are you with rooted phone Xperia? :)

After install Xparts, From sheet Home slide to sheet Tools and push button Reboot to Recovery. OR ......

When blue led light, and you see Sony logo, than hold ~ menu button for example. and you did it. :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mrmike7:
Try Installing CWM_Installer-v5.apk first (check my post #601)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Will try this, thanks

Yeah, i am rooted but the phone just booted normally.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Monipeev:
Are you lighting blue led on Sony logo for moment, about 2-3sec?

And increase brightness on display?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Where is the apk?

Sorry, Is this directed at me?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Monipeev:
Yes. So?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
I don't understand the first part sorry but why would I need to increase the brightness?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Monipeev:
No, in moment when to try push volume down, display brightness increase on Sony logo.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Oh i understand now. i don't see the blue notification light though. I will test this.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mrmike7:
Check 1st post
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
i click install but the app just goes off and puts me back on XDA (my last used app)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mrmike7:
maybe save it to SD or Dropbox etc and install
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
The apk installs but when i click install CWM, it does what i mentioned.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mrmike7:
The v5 app gives no error and terminates when you try to install CWM? Did it over-write v7 on install?

Try reboot to recovery see if it installed....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:

I use it with an Arc S and I've sometimes problems during the first installation with version 7: It starts to install CWM but the loading/install animation won't come to an end.

I installed it with WLAN everytime so it should not download longer than a few seconds. If I reboot after 10 minutes without getting a positive message, it sometimes works and sometimes I've to install an older version first and update to the newest one. Any ideas?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] virph:
can you make this app available with neo l? ill really appreciate it :D

CWM Recovery with locked bootloader & kernel Flashing

I have read different opinions about the possibility of installing kernels using CWM Recovery with locked bootloader (as the method in this thread).

If indeed, CWM (with locked bootloader) can not install a kernel, how is possible to restore a ROM if the kernel is not installed ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
This is not a tool for flashing custom kernels.

This can only be done via fastboot in bootloader-unlocked phones.

This is installing the CMW recovery on your phone, which you can use for a variety of things, like backing up your system/data/cache, flashing zips of tweaks or ROMs (compatible with locked-bootloader phones), fixing permissions, accessing your phone in case of bootloop and fixing it via adb commands or system restore, etc etc etc.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] y_v_89:
Well, if I make a backup (with this CWM) of my official ROM I assume that the backup contains the official kernel, is this true ?

Can this CWM restore it with the official kernel ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Well, no, this is the opposite of true.

Your ROM resides in the /system partition.

Kernel is something entirely different, which cannot be backed up via recovery.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] mrmike7:
Unless you unlock your boot loader your kernel won't change unless its a certified update from your phone software provider(eg Sony tft file).
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] y_v_89:
Just to make sure.

Can this CWM, backup & restore my ROM ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Yes, of course.

It will back up your system, your data, your cache and your sdext (if you are using Link2SD).
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] y_v_89:
Thanks a Lot ! :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] alkithilien:
Ok, I will try posting here, because I am close to just sitting and crying and hating all things android and on other threads I can't get my answer :(

So... the story is that on freshly rooted (stock firmaware 4.0.4) xperia x10 mini pro the keyboard layout got messed up. To be able to flash the keyboard I need I installed x-parts to get CWM. Tried to flash the keyboard layout zip... didn't work. Then read on xda about edified zip files, that I need like upgraded version of CWM or sth... found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106146

Tried their way of flashing CWM with CWM (however crazy that sounds). As a result, CWM recovery is not booting at all now! Instead it boots into safe mode. Keyboard still not fixed.

We then thought it's the chargemon permissions, but nope, their set to 755. We are out of ideas and working recovery :(

Please help :crying:

as said on OP, we can press any key to enter CWM.

but the only button that worked was power button.

Just asking, any plan to create CWM installer for PC?

There is already Windows CWM installer for CWM 5.0.2.7 nAa, how about yours?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Ok what zip. Ill convert it for you. Also can you not just reinstal with my app?

lol popular phone. I am getting quite a few pm's / emails.

Maybe. I'll see what I can do

As long as a key worked :)

I won't be making a windows installer. Welcome to point the windows guy to me and I'll let him use my recovery tho if he wants to.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] y_v_89:
The second sentence indicates that flashing a recovery backup, WIPES system and recovery is GONE, Why ?

This recovery installs itself INTO the system partition, as you wrote.

So, if it is backing up the entire system (and much more) it is also supposed to backup and restore himself !?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
Restoring a backup not taken from this recovery will... otherwise it will be fine

I have a question..........for ICS is it better 5.0.2.7 or 5.5.0.4? I tried some kernel (ICS) for my xperia pro and all included 5.0.2.7 version! But in this thread I read the other!!!

I tried install CWM with x-parts on xperia arc (build 587) but didin't work (does not enter the bootloader)

Sorry again for my english
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pvyParts:
ok short version,

Pvy_5.5.0.4 is designed for ICS

nAa_5.0.2.7 is Designed for GB

This is the case for MY APP, other applications/methods may not be like this due to hacktrickery from the Developer.

I Cannot comment on any other app/methods versions as they are not mine. and i have no idea how they were created, ect ect... tooo many variables.

I have Xperia Arc S (LT18i) with stock Build 4.0.2.A.0.62. It is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I've installed x-Parts and CWM is working fine.

I wish to install now DoomKernel v22 (with no CWM limitations), but I'm facing with unclear situation after reboot and with some questions to which I have found no precise reply in this thread:

1. Whethter any kernel (x-Parts or DoomKernel) will work after reboot?

2. Which of the two (x-Parts or DoomKernel) will work after reboot?

3. How (is there a way) to recover system partition in the state BEFORE x-Parts CWM install?

Everything would be easier with an information how to uninstall CWM installed by x-Parts.

Many thanks for the answers.

Hi Pvy,

Just to thank you and to confirm that v7.0 is working like a Swiss knife.

Due to my own reasons installed it five times on fresh, just rooted, .587 Arc S fw

(once on Central Europe, once on France and three time on Iberian Generic).

All fine.

Advice for people having problem is following:

Install X-Part,

make sure data connection is on (WiFi),

start X-Part and grants su permissions when asked

go to tools menu (swipe to right), wait a bit,

go to installs menu

click on Install CWM

wait until confirmation about testing it on tools menu show up.

release confirmation

swipe left to tools menu

choose reboot to recovery.

(do block above at once)

That's it, recovery will show up and all is fine.

When booting and Sony logo get stronger back lit or blue led is on

press Home key to enter recovery.

I like color of cwm. Nicer of all recoveries I had on my HTC Desire and Xperia Arc S.

Thanks again.

maybe a unicorn came and stole recovery from your phone...

can you both tell me the following.
