Right now there is no proper CWM recovery right?
Doomlord's recovery only works on stock based roms right?

can i flash philz kernel on GB rom, then use CWM to backup and flash a JB rom?
i know GB won't boot with philz, but CWM should boot and let me go on from there, right?
can anyone confirm that?
Yes you will be able to boot into recovery.
Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM into it. I backed up everything through CWM recovery.
However somehow the stock rom/kernel/etc don't work with this set-up. I just have "free xperia" logo until the universe will implode.
Therefore I installed cyanogenmod and it works. But I don't have the Xperia pkgs and since I own a lot of stuff from sony..those apps are usefull.
Question 1: Can I use CWM recovery with the stock sony rom?
Question 2: I just downloaded the ftf (700MB file), how can I restore everything? If I fastboot everything inside the package will it also correct the boot problem?
Question 3: Can I install sony pkgs as a 3rd party zip like google-apps?
Thanks for the help!!
Yes, you can use stock kernel with recovery.
But, since you are unlocked, you can install DoomKernel, its based on stock , it has a recovery and root included, and it is compatible with stock roms. Install it via fastboot, then you can flash a stock ftf excluding the kernel so you don't lose custom kernel.

CWM can't flash ftf, for that you need Flashtool.
CWM can only flash flasheable zips.
If you want to keep stock rom with a working cwm recovery you have choice using advanced stock kernel or doomkernel both have a recovery working normally. If you don't want to overclock/underclock and tweak stuff choose advanced it is the stock kernel with a recovery with nothing more.
Flash ftf and then fastboot the kernel you choose, or vice versa fastboot and then flash ftf and exclude kernel in flashtool.

Hello,
I've been running stock rooted 4.1.2 for a while but my phone randomly reformatted itself last night so now I'm going to keep regular backups of my Rom.
I tried to boot into. CWM Recovery but I keep getting the stock recovery.. if I use Rom manager and flash CWM followed by an automated "reboot into recovery" then it boots into CWM but until I reflash CWM within Rom manager I can only get stock.
I want to try a few roms out so I'd like to "permanently" flash a custom recovery before making a backup!

try philz touch, it has a function to remove the auto-flash stock recovery. Otherwise there's a method in the general root thread if you want cwm.
My device is GT-N7000, using N7000ZSLR1 Android 4.1.2 stock ROM （Build number：JZO54K.N7000ZSLR1）, used Chinese one key root app to root but unrooted to go to stock recovery to flash the newest Philz recovery (because Odin v3.09 failed to flash it), but fail like below screenshots:
I wonder why, I downloaded from the official platform (https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7000/), and my internet is good so there should be no corrupted files. All stuffs are stock now, so I dunno why.
(Additional info: If I flash "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0.tar.md5" using Odin, it works, but I want to use the latest Philz recovery, plus, the recovery will switch back to stock one after usage, that means after I press "reboot system now" in Philz recovery XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0, and power off and go to recovery mode again, it's the stock one. Dot't say something like "Oh flash this one then").
If you are on a stock 4.1.2 rom there is no way you can update to a newer recovery using philz. As he stopped updating the old kernels. You may try some other custom kernel.
The advanced Cwm edition will not work using odin or recovery. So leave that alone.
The XXLTA you flashed is a right path but it should not revert to stock recovery. There is zip version of that file. Flash it through the stock recovery.

Which custom kernal you recommend, and is stable then?
And which 'Old" Philz kernal is the "newest" to my ROM? I mean the newest in the old kernal, if you get what I mean.

The XXLTA you flashed seems to be the latest from Philz list of recoveries for TW 4.1.2 kernels for now.. You may check forest's kernel.. I think it has an updated recovery.
