i ws able to enter recoveries cwm by camera button.. after that i installed cm12 rom and now iam unable to enter recovery mode. wen switched on.. instead of green red blue its all red light blinking nd vibrates nd boots cm12.. pressing volume up, down nd camera button doesnt enter recovery..

edit:: i had to tap repeatedly volume up button nd now able to enter philz recovery. so saved the truble i ws having.. but still twrp nd cwm recovery mode unable to enter. anyway fine..
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Flashing CM12 would have replaced all the recovery files!!!!!

simply re-flash the recoveries_SP_4.4.1_signed.zip again and it should all be back as before
[Xperia SP Android Development] revolutionyzer:
Thank you for the tools. :)

Wanna know if this will work fine with 4.3 too ? ( 12.1.A.1.205 )

Edit :

Sorry , :-p Found the answer !
[Xperia SP Android Development] revolutionyzer:
Problem ! :(

I installed the custom recovery and took a backup of stock ROM. Then I flashed CM 12 ( without wiping , jus to check if it wass working ). The installation completed successfully. Then I went for a wipe and the screen got stuck there ! I had to reboot the device by pressing the button at the back. But CM booted normally.

Now , I want to flash GAPPS and the recovery ain' showin' up ! Each time I try to reboot recovery recovery , the phone just reboots.

I tried flashing the recovery again . But the script says :

-- Getting model and version number --

Model Number: C5303

Version : Unknown --> (ERROR: NOT COMPATIBLE) :(

I'm running Linux ( Elementary OS ) . Kindly tell me how I could resolve this .
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
for 4.3 use CWM touch (camera button), i'm trying to fix problems with system partition (mount/umount) for now i fix the /storage/sdcard1. the new file is uploading.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ship puden:
waiting.... :good::laugh:
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
Fixed problems mounting/unmounting system partition, i do full backup-restore and all ok.

PD: Remember, use CWM touch for 4.3, others for 4.1.2

enjoy! :highfive:
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
And status 7 error was caused while flashing a rom earlier,, that is also fixed?????
[Xperia SP Android Development] Patrol619:
Confirming, now CWM Touch works like it should ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Deepam7325:
Confirmed. Thanks a lot. At last I can freely test mods.
[Xperia SP Android Development] andylai0923:
I have installed the first version of your recovery, and do I need to Uninstall it before using your new recovery ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I think if we install another ROM, system partition gets formatted in between, so we will lose recoveries after that....

Maybe we should also root immediately after ROM, so that when rom boots up, first thing we can install recovery again.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
you can install directly, uninstall is if you don't want recovery anymore (restore original chargemon and clean files.)
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
when you flash a custom rom or update, you need flash supersu again or you loose root. once booted you need reinstall recovery.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Imperial_Raj:
So, can I do the following to install eXistenZ Ultra 2.0?

1. Install this recovery on eXistenZ 1.3.7

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Flash eXistenZ 2.0 and SuperSU fix

It would not need to flash the stock .266 kernel at the end. Would it work? What do you think?
[Xperia SP Android Development] alone_in_dark:
You must flash .266 JB 4.3 kernel...!! A kernel of JB 4.1.2 can not operate a ROM based on JB 4.3... Follow OP of existenz ROM
[Xperia SP Android Development] Parkside:
I agree. Anyway Existenz comes with it's own dual recovery, so there's no need to install this if you're using that ROM...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Imperial_Raj:
Oh, sorry you could not understand me! I'm asking if I could just flash the kernel here on this thread (which is for 4.3) on my eXistenZ 1.3.7 and then straightaway reboot to recovery and install eXistenZ 2.0 from there. Is it possible?

I have read the OP of eXistenZ and I am just looking for a simpler way to flash it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] PeterGeorgiou:
can this work on Xperia T????
[Xperia SP Android Development] lvints:
No. Only Xperia SP.
[Xperia SP Android Development] casouzaj:
Prior to installing this touch CWM on my XSP, I had the non touch version already there. So, during operation, if I press the camera button, the CWM version which comes up is not the touch one. It is slightly different from the one attached to the volume+ button, but they're essencially the same. I tried to uninstall and reinstall this touch version, hoping that the uninstall process would, somehow clean up the old one, but the results haven't changed.

Any hints, anyone?
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
you need swipe up or down to move in cwm touch, for enter in some option you need swipe to right, to go back swipe to left. in my phone work fine.

i work on new version for 4.3 with philz, twrp and cwm. i will post it tomorrow.
[Xperia SP Android Development] vithursan:

I try to install the zip that sait E:Can't mount /storage/sdcard0 ...

Please help ...

Also I haven't root ... I have SU fix and flash ROM so now How i can flash the SU ? Or Root ??
[Xperia SP Android Development] yazan.enbawe:
Can I do the whole thing without a pc??
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
You need repair your device with sony companion application under windows, then repeat all steps of post. never wipe the system partition and restart without install a new rom because your (locked) phone don´t start again.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
if you currently have another recovery, YES!. If not, you need a PC.
[Xperia SP Android Development] oslo city:
Hi everybody.

I rooted my phone with towelroot and then installed the custom recovery and everything went well.

then I rebooted to recovery, did the wipes and flashed this rom : XperiaSP Locked Bootloader (LBL) Cyanogenmod 11.0

Then I rebooted the phone and then nothing happened!

The phone is off or atleast I think it`s off and dosen`t start at all. the screen doesnt turn on at all not even when i plug my charger.

When I hold the power button , the phone vibrates and nothing happens! every time I hold it the phone vibrates but nothing happens and holding the

reset button on the back doesn`t do anything either ...

please help me I did every thing according to the instructions and I`m not a noob .

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
no kernel needed ...just if you are on stock ...run the .bat file on your pc and install the recovery ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] kadektop2:
I am not on stock. Currently on ArchXperia LP Lollipop 5.1.1 ;)

Is above steps still possible?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
then just flash t-kernel via fastboot ....you will have twrp recovery :)

yesterday flashed the stock rom for locked bootloader xperia SP C5306, and rooted it.

Of course while flashing it i lost the recovery stuff.

Tried to install the recovery from this thread, but all that i got was this error:

Problem solved... i leave here the solution for that, for who needs it.

Just exited Blue Stacks on my computer (it was recognized as a second android device connected to computer)... then retried to install the recoveries, and everything went fine.

Тhere is a problem with CWM Touch. When I try to restore my backup says "error restoring system". I restored exactly the same backup with Philz. It was recovered, but with some errors restoring system -> "....context error......", restoring data -> "....context error......", Restoring Completed!

Аfter 3 times flash with Flashtool and 6 - 7 attempts, finally I restored my phone correctly.

Hi,

I've CWM_SP installed on my Xperia SP (4.1.2).

Can I install CWM_SP_LB directly over CWM_SP without losing anything?
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
you can install CWM_SP_LB, you only replace the older recovery with new recovery.
[Xperia SP Android Development] peyob:
Thanks dssmex.

So, I must just run install.bat and then the new recovery take place over the old one?

My Xperia sp run with Android 4.1.2 Build: 12.0.A.2.254
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
Yes, you only need install it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Bazilli:
In Phils ''power off'' just reboots the device. Got same bug with SGS3 & Philz touch. :confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrhnet:
Does ROM flashing (via installing zip) work ok in Philz recovery?

Once I flashed a rom (that earlier installed without problem in CWM) and lost my IMEI! Did anyone come across such problems or does ROM flashing work without problem? (I don't want to repeat it and see whether it happens again!! :( )
[Xperia SP Android Development] peyob:
Thanks dssmex: I'll try it soon.

Can't install on XperiaSP Locked Bootloader (LBL) Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom, permission denied. :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
You'll have to ask the dev of your ROM how to install cwm on his rom...
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
You must be root and you need grant superuser permissions.
[Xperia SP Android Development] badboyblue:
Of course I did, I'm using XperiaSP Locked Bootloader (LBL) Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom(android 4.3) , I believe that Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom is not compatible with Philz recovery. :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] niaboc79:
I have exactly the same problem.

Have you used the option: "clean to install a new rom"?
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrhnet:
I can't find that option in Philz recovery. May be I'm using an older version?? Of course, I downloaded the recovery from OP of THIS thread. My Philz ver. 6.19.7

Actually, I flashed the ROM (prerooted stock 4.3) WITHOUT wiping data. (Only wiped cache and dalvik) so to keep my data intact. May be that is what I've done wrong??!
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
If your IMEI is lost after flashing a rom...try this:

Use CWM touch (not philz)

Format all 3 partitions (system, data, cache)

Flash your rom.

I advice you not to use format option in philz, i did it before and i ended formatting the internal storage of my phone, thus losing all my valuable data. Formatting via CWM touch does not include phone's memory.
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrhnet:
Thanks for the suggestion. Anyway I got back my phone to normal by flashing a ftf with flashtool.

Yes, didn't get this issue when using CWM touch to flash that same ROM.

I didn't have problems backing up or restoring in Philz. It's a nice recovery with lot of options. Wanted to know whether others had problems in rom flashing with it. Have to stick with CWM for ROM flashing then..

Edit: I talked too soon.. Again lost IMEI after restoring /system backup in Philz. Then, got back the IMEI by restoring the same backup in CWM touch. Weird..!:confused: I think something is wrong with Philz when it writes to the /system partition.

But, restoring /data and /data/media (sdcard) is working perfectly in Philz. Done many times, confirm its working.
[Xperia SP Android Development] papawil01:
hi, i get a "no files found" when restoring backup in cwm touch.
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
First things first...have you created a backup of your phone..?

2nd, on what directory did you put the backup.?

Check those and you'll find your answer, unless you deleted that backup manually via file explorer.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dssmex:
i will post new update to recoverys, update Philz to 6.25.0.0 and CWM touch to 6.0.4.7. Some bugs fixed.

I test Philz installing eXistenZ Ultra 3.0 and all ok. i do restore an backup and all ok.

For download go to OP.
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Everytime I needed to install recoveries, yours is my go-to. thanks.

If I may make a small suggestion: maybe add options for those who prefer to install only a single recovery? I found that I kept using CWM only despite installing all...

E.g.

1. Install Philz

2. Install CWM

3. Install TWRP

4. Install all 3

5. Uninstall (is uninstall possible with some many install options? Or simply add a FAQ in your update on how to remove manually)

6. Reboot

7. Exit

Ignore this if this seems too much.
