Access to recovery - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I installed the CWM recovery for my Xperia SP and then I changed my rom for Cyanogen mod 11. But now, I haven't acces to the recovery. When my phone boots, it does 3 red lights then boot normally even if I press any button to acces to any recovery. I tried to choose " reboot in recovery" bot it doesn't work too ! In addition, I tried to reinstall the recovery in debug mode but the installer says " access denied "
Can someone help me with this problem please ?
Thanks,

Losing Recovery Mode for your device usually occurs when there is an error or a small mishap in the installation of the custom rom.
Usually, installation of recoveries is possible but for your case it didn't.
As such I recommend flashing a custom kernel compatible with the rom which in this case is Williams Kernel for CM.

Please tell me the CM11 ROM you have used. Is your bootloader unlocked? Answering these might as well help you. Regards

My bootloader is locked so I can't flash a custom kernel. And I use this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
Thanks you for your attention.

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
Since you do not have any other option, I recommend repeating the whole rom flashing process

There are reports that Williams Kernel v7 works on Locked Bootloader though I did not tested it personally.
You might want to try to flash it.
If else fails, then starting fresh is your only option as mentioned by Furrydaus

But, I haven't access to my recovery, So I should flash again my room but with tool flash that's it ?

It is a very silly problem with CM11. Rooting is allowed to apps only by default. I had this problem too. It is easy to solve.
Just go to developer options and make sure rooting access is given to both "Apps and ADB" instead of "Apps only". That should solve your problem of "access denied" while installing recovery.

[Q] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Freezes after flashing recovery image

Hi.
Just tried to root my Htc one using this method: HTC One M7 How To ROOT EASIEST METHOD.
Unlocked the boot loader successfully.
Then downloaded newest TWRP Recovery Image openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
Followed the instructions
One thing was suspicious when entering fast boot:
*** Tampered *** <- dont't know if it's good or no ?
*** Unlocked ***
On top of the screen It wasn't shown tampered only unlocked ?
But everythinh went well, entered recovery mode using image and install the superuser.
And reboot. The su app was there, but after checking on two apps - phone wasn't rooted.
So download old image from TWRP 2.5.0.0
And after flashing it and enter the screen when u see buttons Install, Wipe,Backup ...
the Screen it's Freezed. Swipe to Unlock is not working.
And after hitting the power button the home button and < Blinking.
Also fastboot is not working. [ waiting for device ] only.
So how to restart it so i can flash a newer image to try root it again ?
Or maybe something different is wrong ?
Thank's

It's not frozen, the old version uses different touchscreen drivers that why you can't press anything.
Use adb to reboot, and flash an up to date version of TWRP or CWM:
"adb reboot bootloader"
that will get you back to FASTBOOT USB.

Great that solved my problem. Thank U. Can't locate that button. But will try harder.
Now I'm trying to install busybox wchich is failed of course because life would be to easy.
Already dig out that this is probably the read write protection problem and to solve this need to add new kernel module
or change my custom rom.
For me better will be adding the module only to install busybox from this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230341&page=3
But where find command prompt ? Should go to recovery mode ?
Or maybe install the custom rom to avoid future problems?
But which one ?

Didnt know about the busybox problem oops
Anyway, what's your goal? Custom ROM, Stock ROM, etc??
If you want to stay fully stock, you could use one of the "Guru Reset" ROMs: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ (I believe those include superuser etc. which you can select during flashing in AROMA)
Otherwise, the custom ROMs out there are all great, it's all personal preference. They each have their own "pros and cons" IF we can say that, but they are all excellent.
You'll have to experiment to see which one works for you

[T][LT30p][KERNEL][4.3]Stock Kernel With Clockworkmod Recovery FW:9.2.A.0.278

Hi friends!
As we all known,DoomLord has released the leak 4.3 FW for us,but the kernel inside have no recovery,so I made a kernel for you.
THIS IS FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS ONLY!
Orginial post http://bbs.angeeks.com/thread-3323430-1-1.html
flash it use command
fastboot flash boot kernel_sj.elf
or flash it use Flashtool.
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/download/xwjdwcmpomn6wth/kernel_sj.elf
edit: had to read better the title.. sorry!
could someone with skills make a cwm/twrp flashable zip of this kernel?
that would make things much easier.. as we could flash leaked 4.3 and then kernel+recovery immediately later, so a pc to use fastboot/flashtool wouldn't be needed..

Here is a flashable zip for the kernel created by sj8023ld.Could someone try it please and report?
Take a backup first and clean cache and dalvik cache. In case your phone is stuck on Sony's logo, just keep pressed the Power button and the Volume+. Should vibrate 3-4 times. After that restart the phone.
In this kernel the version of the cwm integrated is the 6.0.4.4.

I was running miui and cwm, then installed leaked 4.3 + your flashable zip.

Xperia SP Does not boot after CWM 12.1 flash

Xperia sp First root, flash and... crash!
Hi all,
at last I got my first root.... Warranty was ended on my Xperia SP so I decided to give a chance to Lollipop.
Started with root (veeery smooth, towelroot and superSU), then CWM to have a good parachute, and after all, CM12 (plus googleApps and a couple more fixes found in this site).
Let's say... almost eveerything ok when I realized that a CM 12.1 was issued and wanted to give a chance to this too.
And now the real troubles started, mainly because of CWM.
The phone didn't boot anymore in recovery mode, so I even wasn't able to recover my backup, trying to reinstall CWM, the batch stated that version was unknown. So, it deleted the existing files.
I was able to reinstall them modifying a line checking version (added || IS_CM12)
This was the only way to take back my deart recovery menu.
But seems it waqsn't a good idea.... bricked. Jumping up&down the net to pick back the previous release of android via Flashtool, at last seems I found it.
Of course, as soon as restored, I'll try again, nut I think that there's a basilar problem: CMW is not done to work with CM12, is it? And if so, which other solutions will I have, should I need again a recover or a new version?
Thank you all for reading till here
Cheers
Raff
Use TWRP from now on no matter what ROM you use.
Install Rashr from here: https://mega.nz/#!lxVHjBZR!24FtZk7h8vp07TML489hujJsTYOzUzGWXLoDwWlEHMw
Then flash recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-twrp-f2fs-support-xperia-sp-huashan-t3150230
I prefer philz touch
So both of you prefer other than CWM? Just askling since almost all update tutorials moention CWM as the first option...
Thank you!
Actually yeah!
and CWM is outdated, it can be used with JB/KK I guess, but almost all Lollipop devs recommend using TWRP/Philz.
Bootloader unlocked?
How could I check if bootloader is already unlocked since it's one of the prereqs for TWRP?
I verified that unlock is allowed, but before going ahead asking Sony the code, maybe it's useless? It's already rooted...
Thanks guys!

Why would it be useless?
Go ahead and ask for the code,
and it should say something like "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" or "Bootloader Unlock: Done" on the service menu after you unlock it.
and don't forget to backup TA Partition before Unlocking.

I'm sorry, I didn't explain, I mean IF the phone is already unlocked it's useless asking the code.

Ok... How could I backup it if I still don't have TWRP installed?
Sorry if silly questions...

"Bootloader Unlock allowed: yes" means that your bootloader is still locked, and you can unlock it if you want.
..and about TA Backup, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
and it's okay, everyone is a noob at the beginning
Hit thanks if I helped!
I did it!
Great! Unlocked and TA backupped. Now, TWRP.
Now, I know, I'm going to be boring... to be honest I'd like the graphics of Sony, but I'd like to upgrade to 5 too, so, I could proceed with CM12.1, and I'll have 5.1.1 but not "Sony style", or I could try smthg like customized ROM (don't remember the name, should retrieve my browsing history) based on CM12.1 but keeping Xperia Z series style...
What's your advice?
Thanks a lot
uhm... no... no TWRP...
rashr says that flash went ok, but when I ask to restart in recovery, it rtats as usual. And I can't see TWRP logo in the home page of rashr...
If you want Xperia styled appearance and a stable ROM,
Try any CM12.1 based ROM like AICP and use Xperia Z4 Theme
or 'StryFlex' if you want Sony's Official Xperia Lollipop UI, but it's not 100% stable yet, so I'd suggest you to use AICP.

Whichever suits you
Do a full wipe and flash tangerine after flashing the ROM,
Don't reboot before flashing tangerine as you'll be stuck with the Cyanogen recovery.

If you're stuck in a bootloop, then turn off your phone (using the button on the back)
Download and flash this via 'fastboot mode' on Flashtool,
Your phone won't boot, but you'll be able to get in recovery by pressing the vol down.
and if your phone doesn't have much charge left, then leave it on charge for sometime after flashing the .elf file.
Nono thank's God.
I'm stuck because I can't update, since I have no chance to access the recovery menu: it brings me directly to original phone. No Rashr (store or linked), no dd ... nothing seems to work for recovery. I'm afraid that if I'll execute the batch for CWM_SP_4.4.1 it will work, but I'll be again at the very bad point of 2 days ago after flashed...

That will work too, and I think that will be easier for you to install and enter recovery.
Install that, reboot, press vol. down button when you see the fourth light (probably blue).

Flash recovery via fastboot [FAIL]

Before I flashed my phone via fastboot with the command fastboot flash boot twrp.img, but now I'm in problems because yep, recovery is flashed...but always boot on recovery (no needed to press vol keys).
I tried to use ADB commands but says something like "remote command not allowed".
After this the only solution is use flashtool and load a stockROM for write correctly on boot partitions...losing the recovery.
I want to have got a customROM rooted with TWRP recovery, not a stockROM rooted without recovery
I'm opened for choices...or more details.
EDIT: I'm coming from stockROM DE customized 5.1.1 and rooted with KingRoot

After this the only solution is use flashtool and load a stockROM for write correctly on boot partitions...losing the recovery.
I want to have got a customROM rooted with TWRP recovery, not a stockROM rooted without recovery
I'm opened for choices...or more details.

In first instance make a fresh installation with stockROM DE customized 5.1.1 to try some customROMs and if I don't like any, load PureX v3 with clean installation.

As long as you don't go for CM, the only thing you have to do is
-Flash stock rom, root and install recovery
-Boot into recovery, do a factory reset and flash the ROM zip

I take a note for make a factory reset before flashing.
I flash the stockROM with FlashTool (OK)
I root w/KingRoot...and maybe to change by SuperSU (OK)
I install TWRP recovery (OK)...but
But every time boot on recovery, really no start the "system": Android, and although I flash new customROM when I reboot is booting ALWAYS on recovery.
When I use the command fastboot flash boot twrp.img the boot sequence -I think- is "corrupted", creating a bypass and making the recovery as normal boot.
The point is what is the fix or other way to install TWRP and from there as usual, flashing, bla, bla. If my phone can't "reboot to system" correctly as much I flash it I can't enjoy the customROMs.
I tried too with the app "TWRP Manager", but not works (rooted, of course). I'm 3-4 times with this recovery "bootloops" only restored with stockROMs and FlashTool.
I hope explained well enought.

I tried too The app download the latest TWRP version and...nothing happens.
The options are shrinking...:crying:
I tried again with TWRP Manager y Rashr, with all ways allowed with each app and nothing. Download, flashing, reboot but not on recovery.

there is another way http://nut.xperia-files.com/ go here then
XZDualRecovery --> XZDualRecovery 2.8.23 --> XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and download it to your pc, unzip the file and execute the install programm then follow the instruction ( in order to do this you must have Supersu)
PS: Why not try another recovery from the app i told you ( Rashr ). Just download the recovery and press flash.
Finally it's done!:victory::victory::victory:
It has done with XZDualRecovery, it's a pain in ass have to change KingRoot by SuperSU (with Terminal, bla, bla). Give permission to ADB, reboot...and by first time the LED is turned on in rose!! :good:
After check out the recovery I let boot normally and show again the alphanumeric keyboard to type PIN.
Thanks for putting up with me so much.
By the way, are you greek?

You were betrayed by the language modifier of GooglePlay:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=el
This modifier force GooglePlay to show the content in Greek, same as &hl=en english, &hl=es spanish, etc.
I was there a week in Athens and other places.
Thanks again.

Yes, we really enjoyed it, especially my wife who likes to Ancient Greece, in fact one week is shorter to enjoy fully Athens, monuments, even outside of turist circuits.
I hope go back again #WeAreAllGreeKs

.
.any idea how to get this fixed ?
thank you all
Hello rose, can you re-explain your concern, I don't really understand.
In my opinion you forgot to do something before or after, you followed the tutorial from the XDA forum.

well , frankly i did something stupid , i flashed wrong boot.img using twrp , the device works but
1- if shut down , can turn it up only with cable to pc pluged
2- every time i flash rom and make reboot , it goes directly to twrp interface ( goes only to recovery mode) no matter what the rom is
Hello rosen, at the beginning once you have installed TRWP and magisk it works or not normal start you did not make a backup with TRWP backup. , if not forget TRWP and do as I did just magisk .
Yes to start with twrp recovery you have to connect to a pc and manipulate power + bixby + high volume.

What? You not have stock kernel? For root Android and TWRP you not need custom kernel.
For root stock Android you need patch AP file with Magisk, patch TWRP with magidsk and vbmeta.
I did it like this: #2,724
Without patch TWRP with Magisk you not can have root Android and TWRP. You can have only root Android or TWRP.
