Hi,i have a problem installing CWM on my phone.I need it cos i want to put a custom rom on my phone.
1.I have official 4.1.2
2.I have rooted the phone
3.I unlocked the bootloader
I installed rom manager and flashed cwm through that and every time i enter cwm i dont have an option to go to external storage,and i cant confirm or pick anything using the power button.
Does anyone have any solution to this problem?
Or an idea on how i can fix this? I tried installing it over and over again ,i even downgraded my phone and started over but nothing worked.
Thanks in advance

What i did before installing a custom rom:
I rooted my phone using superoneclick method.
Then installed xrecovery V0.1. (with busybox and charm*something)
Made a backup of the original room using Xrecovery
How did i install the custom roms and what happend:
Renamde gingerxd v13 to update.zip and place it on sdcard.
Wiped cache and factory reset(fullwipe).
Install update.zip with Xrecovery.
(after my first attemp failed, i tried to wipe cache and factory reset after installing the room too)
Reboot phone.
Phone goes into reboot loop. First sony ericsoon, then the logo of whatever custom room i'm trying to install.
I tried the MiniCM7-2.0.7 (source)
Then i tought, what if i downloader a back from another phone? i got Floyo 2.2.5 (source)
Restoring this backup too got me into a reboot loop.
Final question(and probably the supidest one if the answer is yes)
Do i need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom room? The guides i used didn't mention it at all, and since it may brick my device beyong xrecovery's help i'd like a straight answer before attempting it.
I tried to make this post as clear as possible and maybe someone can point out if im missing something.
Very important thing: Did your baseband end with 015? If no, that's why you are having these problems.
And no, you don't need to unlock the Bootloader to install Custom Roms.
It ends in 006. Thanks ill be reading on flashing a baseband and report back. PCcompanion says my phone is up do date so i'll be using this. If you have a better alternative let me know.
^^
Edit: Is there a way to configure pcc to make the update for me? Like say im from another country were the update is available?
Use Flashtool, go here
Thanks Chris95X8. my phone is now running 2.3.5 gingerdx rom. everything works. The only thing that's driving me nuts is the notification i get when i lose signal. Any way to fix this?
Sadly it didnt work for me... I have tried out flashing basebands but it wont work. still looping around. makes me crazy.

Are you sure that you flashed the right baseband?
If you have, maybe try to boot phone without the SD card in it..

I installed the maximus7 but my camera not worked.After that i want to flash another rom(android revolution HD) but in the begging of installation it stuck... I make wipe and after that format(very stupid) and i lost my rom in sdcard. Now my phone is impossible to boot in stock rom and also i don't have Rom in sdcard....Is impossible to load the Rom directly from my pc to sdcard ( i tried the adb and the problem is the device not found).
Keep in mind the phone is unlocked and rooted.
If somebody has the solution for the problem , please reply.

erm what you mean by Flash Stock Rom again with Odin thank you,
try re-flashing CWM first as I had same problem but flashing CWM again fixed it (I always have CWM as zip file on my sdcard just in case)
Try to flash the stock rom first via Odin. Install CWM via Odin and flash the CM ROM via CWM. All with the last build. It should works to fix the problem.
