Is it possible to install on CWM Recovery on an xperia x8 e15i on linux (Ubuntu specifically). The only way I've found of installing CWM Recovery so far is using the RecoverX tool in windows, but that tool doesn't load on Ubuntu as far as I know.

Is it possible to flash a ROM via the Android SDK or Recovery Console?
I lost my clockwork recovery. I checked to see if there was a UImage file in /boot and there is not one there.
I don't have a computer so doing anything through adb cannot happen.
Thoughts?
This should be in Q&A, but install goo manager than you can install trwp (install OpenRecoveryScript) either use that or if you want CWM flash it through TWRP

Very easy... Go here, download the package from the first post (reading the thread won't hurt, too), unpack, connect your phone in USB Debug mode and run a batch file (or a Linux script, depending on your PC's OS). Done.
Im on Cm10 and Adb drivers are not working. :/ Isnt there a package with a "up to date cwm" flashable with nvflash?

Ah, I see. Don't know much about CM10, as I am not using it... There is an NVflash package from Rusty! -- just read the description in the thread. It is data-safe, so it won't wipe your phone. Not sure what CWM version that is, as I haven't used it myself. But you can use it with any version, as far as I understand -- just replace the IMG file(s) with whatever you need to flash (5.0.2.8 in your case).
You can also use the flashable ZIP, and flash it right from your existing recovery, without going through the NVflash exercise. I don't know if such ZIP exists for 5.0.2.8, but there is one for 6.0.1.2 made by Kashamalaga. You can replace the 6.x IMG file with the 5.0.2.8 that you want, and use it.
Just install goo manager and use twrp recovery or u can download the file u want on your phone and run a" flash_image recovery recovery.img" in terminal
hello xda people,i thought i might share this with you since i've tested and done it myself about rooting kitkat eu update.My bootloader was factory locked and proceeded unlocking it and i barely managed to install Hazou's unoficial twrp recovery(see this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483) wich was done via fastboot,but mostly even after the custom recovery install i didn't managed to get root on kitkat,so i've tried ChainsDD superSU update pack witch seems to resolve the problem because the update package installs the propper package according to system specs,so if anyone there wishing to root or doesn't quite figure out,here's an simple how to:
1Make sure you have all the drivers installed.
2install or download android sdk
3 from the sdk,copy on your desktop platform-tools (for easier job)
4 download recovery image from Hazou thread,see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483 extract and place it on platform-tools folder you copied on your desktop
5in platform-tools folder open cmd line and enter your phone in fastboot
6type "fastboot devices" without quotes
7 if your device is listed,type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8now after cmd confirms if the flash was succesfull, either head to recovery from fastboot mode and see if twrp is installed,if it does keep your phone connected to pc
9 download chainsDD superSU update to external sd,link to download https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8m4rdNFVU4_YjV4X2gtUjNhZVE/view?usp=sharing
10 install via twrp,wipe davik+cache, reboot and enjoy
You can get the latest CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP from here. It has x86 support and works on the Razr i.

I like this method, you're always left with a fallback or the option to the Rom flash again or use an alternate when using recovery, I've started to prefer TWRP over clockwork recently
Please help. I'm trying to flash twrp on xperia z C6603 so i can install custom rom existens. I installed flashtool and all drivers. Fastboot and for the phone. Installed android studio. Downloaded img of recovery and from folder I start elevated cmd and when I write fastboot devices it says 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
What to do? Some tutorial. Where I'm making mistake?

First you should unlock your bootloader, otherwise your phone will be bricked. Next, are you sure you installed the drivers correctly? On Windows 8 and above you have to disable driver signature, otherwise the drivers simply won't be installed.
When all that done you could try to enter fastbood mode via flashtool. Make sure you're using an old version, as the newer don't really support the Z.

First :- You should unlocked the bootloader by sony's offical site for your by cmd .
Second :- Use window 7 for better and fast response to your phone ...
Third :- to come in fastboot mode you should switch off your phone then connect use and keep pressing volume up button blue light will display.
Then type this cmd in your all driver :-
1. adb devices – Checks whether your device is connected or not. If its connected, some random numbers will appear in command window.
2. Use this command to flash a stock kernel or any custom kernel:
fastboot flash boot _____.img
3. Use this command to flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP in your phone:

Last :- wipe all data when youy intall twrp/cwm (recommended TWRP Latest Version) flash your selected ROM with GAPP...
