Recovery.ftf not found

Hi, I am having rooted & unlocked bootloader now for my xperia J JB .31 firmware...

But my flashtool can't find any Recovery.ftf (also venegence kernel.elf) although I have put those files in C:\Flashtool\firmwares !!!

I'm trying it till last night to have CWM.... I've flashed once with ST26_Stock_Kernel_By_2010Matej_3.4.0_31_11.2.0.a.31 - 3.4.0.ftf to see whether my flashtool works and it did....

Please help

Did you uninstall and re-install the latest version of flashtool?

Unlocked bootloader

Can I use this method on unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] 2010matej:
Sometimes flashtool dont recognized all firmwares because it you have it too much in that folder. Try to delete some or move some to other location. And be careful if you have names of ftf files without (,[,] ... just name (recovery,vengeance)

Help please!

I got to step 5 but couldn't understand what he meant in the rest of the tutorial, help! After getting CWM I hope to install CM10, I'm really new to this, can someone write a good tutorial that states the steps clearly? At the moment my Xperia J is rooted, but not bootloader unlocked. Please help me! :crying:

Seriously, after I choose Install Zip from SDCard, it shows my sdcard folders but not the zip.

Can someone help/give me an answer? How am I supposed to install a custom ROM if it does NOT detect any zips? If I also open a folder, say Downloads to look for the zip file, CWM goes blank and boom, no more.

FFS.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dzepar:
I think that ext_card is sdcard and no spaces in name of zip.

Sent from my ST26i
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ricardosteve:
It's not ext_card. The "sdcard" directory that this CWM opens is nowhere in my phone. My phone's root/sdcard is different, I even formated the external SD Card and nothing. Where the heck is the directory that this Recovery is trying to get as "sdcard"?

I mean and when opening one of those folders the Recovery goes blank and there's not even a "go back" option. I think this recovery is messed up to the point where I can't even install a freaking custom ROM zip. I have to look at sideload option, see if I get any luck...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] MegaSharkXDA:
"

To use the CWM:

5 Turn Flashtool

6 Flash with Flashtool "recovery.ftf" after finishing unplug the phone from the USB.

7 Turn when you see the Sony logo, click Vol -.

"

I can't boot into CWM...I get stuck at sony logo, even though I click Vol-.

And I can't reflash JB31.ftf because flashtool doesn't see it.

Any help?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dzepar:
If you have stock Rom31.ftf you can uncheck everything except kernel and just flash kernel. Also here is link to stock 31jb.ftf https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByhaA_uCmJyEMnl5RTlSa0RCWEE/edit?usp=docslist_api

Hi.

I'm trying to install a custom rom in a Xperia J for a friend, but it's not going well. I rooted the phone successfully and I probably screw up things on the CWM install.

I installed the Paranoid Android ROM, and now it stays on the boot screen and I can't acess the CMW recovery, because after I flash the phone, it goes directly to the boot sequence.

Any help will be appreciated.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dzepar:
Reflash stock kernel or one from Paranoid Android ROM, you flash recovery to get in CWM then kernel from the rom to boot.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] RJVMS:
Thanks for the reply, but I ended up flashing the stock firmware and installed the AlienRom instead.

The important thing is that it's working good and my friend is very pleased with is "new" phone :D

I got Alienrom v5 installed yesterday, but i don't know if it has cwm installed, so i'd like to ask if i can use this method for this rom? (it has some special kernel ftf by 2010Matej...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dzepar:
[MENTION=5169324]lietkynes82[/MENTION] if you're using stock version it works, just instal CWM like on stock it's same proces. If you're on CM i thing it has cwm in boot.img. ;)

[MENTION=3652480]Dzepar[/MENTION]

How about the kernel after cwm? this that is used when flashing alienrom? or the one from [MENTION=4635010]termobulbulator[/MENTION] guide?

After you're done in CWM, flash stock kernel JB .31, I think you have it in AlienRom treat.

actually, stock kernel makes bootloop. The modified kernel by 2010Matej needs to be flashed with no final verification ticked, then it works after cwm.

Hello. I tried it but after flashing kernel my phone is stuck on Sony screen and -vol does nothing.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Holocaust77:
after you see Sony logo press the Vol- REPEATEDLY not HOLD it. works like charms just need Lil work on the graphic
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] CzlowiekDrzewo:
That's what I'm doing
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Holocaust77:
okay then, may be you should look at this :

1. you need to have root (for the adb shell)

2. continue install the cwm through PC

3. dont install (full) busybox by stericsson coz it will replace the "sh" file which it causing you cant Entering CWM. if you want to install fully busybox, install it first then continue with install CWM

4. make sure all files exist in your system folder

this work fine on me, and im sure will work on you too if all the require files exist
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] CzlowiekDrzewo:
Thanks

Somehow I made it. The phone was rooted and I didn't even thought about installing busybox. What helped was installing CWM again and then flashing it with CWM usage file twice. Anyway, thank you very much for help and I still have one question. I've installed CM10 FXP243. Isn't there newer version for J? My friend had different boot animation and had option to overclock CPU to over 1500MHz. Unfortunately, he don't have this phone anymore.

Edit:

Plus, GSM isn't working and there's no Google Play or even option for adding Google Account.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Holocaust77:
nah, I dont know about the latest version buddy, I've never tried using cm10. I've tried some of the custom roms here but nothing were suit me so I prefer using stock rom with some tweaks and modifications :) but something I know if you want to flash cm10, you have to downgrade to ICS first to avoid Signal/GSM problem. then continue with flashing gapps (Google apps) for cm10. and for the overclock thing, I think u need a custom kernel (unlocked bootloader) its also provided different boot logo, for bootanimation you can find it here, there are plenty of it. just download bootanimation.zip and push it manually to system/media directory and give proper permission :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] shell_uk:
Ok, so I've screwed up. Help please :(

So basically I copied the folder with the ROM files not the zip file, and I got as far as I could going through the instructions before realising this!

I tried the sideload option but adb just kept throwing an error when trying (but the phone showed up under adb devices, showing recovery mode though, probably why it failed/errored sideloading?).

I then, stupidly, took the battery out the phone as I could not get out of the sideload screen.

It won't CWM/re-enter recovery again (after some googling I now realise in another menu there was an option to mount usb storage!).

I can get it in to flashmode with flashtool and flash the recovery or android files but no help - because I've deleted system files (android) or the temp files put there by install.bat are gone (recovery), is my understand.

Running install.bat now doesn't see the device.

At the moment if I just turn it on it sits on the Sony logo for a while and reboots, and sits on the Sony logo for a while and reboots, and on and on.

Any ideas please? VERY much appreciated!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Holocaust77:
why not flashing the rom again? your device detected in flashtool right? one question? how did u delete the recovery files in system? u just took out the battery it wont lose ur recovery, flash the ICS kernel back to enter the CWM or flash JB kernel according to your firmware
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] shell_uk:
I couldn't get back in to CWM even after flashing the recovery again in flashtool so assumed it had deleted them, backed up the fact you have to do this after copying the files with install.bat everytime on the Xperia J as it is only temporary.

Panic over though. I used the Sony Companion tool and the repair option. It's now booting.

I'll save trying to this again for tomorrow :)

Edit: Apologies for some confusion, I realise now that I meant to post this in this thread instead, which was what I was trying to do overall, but was in this one following the CWM bit: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-alienrom-super-hot-update-v3-fxp-t2527939

Try exiting PC Companion and try again, I had similar problem when Flashtool was working.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] steryman:
Hey guys, I'll try to install it on my friend's J tomorrow. If it's working, I'll make a video tutorial :)

Later Edit: Hey guys, it worked but I couldn't record because my Xperia S was running a custom ROM and the camera wasn't working. The steps I've followed are actually exactly as the ones said in the first post of this thread.

1. Make sure you are rooted

2. run install.bat from the zip(cwp_6.1 or whatever) extracted

3. press accept or grant in the supersu/superuser prompt on phone

4. after install.bat is done, press any key in the console to close it

5. if you got any errors in install.bat, run it again, it happended for me once(when it had to get root permissions on phone, the process was actually continuing)

6. turn off the phone, run Flashtool and select the recovery ftf (it's the firmware with device ST26i and Branding "Aby uzywac CWM sflasuj to") and flash it to the phone(in flashmode)

7. After the flashing is done, unplug the phone, power it up, and press vol - when Sony logo appears

8. Use CWM for whatever you need for

9. After you are done with CWM, do not reboot, remove the battery(rebooting may cause to harm your device, because recovery.ftf contains ICS kernel which is not compatible with JB)

10. put the battery back, don't power up the phone yet

11. In flashtool, select the .31 firmware(either the official ftf or the JB31.ftf containing only the kernel) and flash the kernel only

12. After flashing is finished, unplug the phone and power it

So the idea is that if you need to access the CWM, you have to power off your phone, flash the recovery.ftf, enter cwm, and after using cwm power the phone off and flash back the original kernel(31 ftf)

And yes, it was a locked bootloader, and more than that, it's a Bootloader unlock status: NO, so if it worked for me, there's no reason it won't work for you. The reason it's not working for you is that you're not following the steps correctly. Some of the users saying this isn't working is because they didn't made sure they are rooted, so once again I tell you to check if you're rooted before doing this.
