Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. To get you the best help possible, as soon as possible, I'm going to move this thread to your device's Q&A forum. Good luck!
U can install TWRP manager from google play
Or you can download recovery img file and push it using terminal emulator
Or u can download xzdual recovery by nut

According cm wiki , to load recovery , while device boot, press the Volume rockers a few times or you can flash dual recovery .
I think you can fastboot the img file that cyanogenmod provided.

Hi,
Tried and managed to install Omni, MoKee Open sourse 4.4.2 and AOKP kitkat 4.4 without any problems. Now I really wanna try the Freexperia project rom. Seems pretty simple it´s just that I cant get into the recovery after flashing the boot.img. Tried the CM10.1 img and CM11 img but after flashing the img and tried to reboot it just doesn´t. Cant get to the recovery and don't see the freexperia logo either. Anyone can plis tell me want can be wrong??

Forgive my spellings autocorrect is still settling in
Fastboot*
Cyanogen*
If the free Xperia boot screen doesn't show up it means the boot.img didn't flash properly further more if you flashed the rom and the free Xperia screen still didn't come that means either you flashed it wrong which I doubt or it is a bad zip..... Therefore re download and try
Dont get the Sony logo on the screen either. I'll try the mokee img didn't occur to me. But was thinking about using the flashtool application instead of going thrue the commando tool. Yeah I think the problem that it didn't flash properly, but it's strange cuz I tried it like 10-12 times but
still can't reach the recovery and the screen just stays black and the red light is on. Any other suggestions??

By red light is on what do you exactly mean, is it on when you try to turn the phone on
and yeah it looks like your only option is flashtool, considering your able to use fastboot
i am guessing you will be able to get into flashmode, just flash back to stock and then you may
try copying on the rom and then using fastboot to flash the mokee boot then flash the cm rom
hope this helped
Sorry with red light I meant that when I after flashing write reboot in the command prompt and the phone tries to reboot just the red led goes and the phones stays in that position. Doesn't go on to the sony logo and so on. I've got the MoKee rom at the moment should I still flash back the stock rom or can I go right from the mokee rom and I use It's img to get to recovery?!
Thanx / CJ
Thanx man now it's all working just great, was some dum mistakes I did, thanx anyway, cheers

well.. if you can enter the recovery mode, you can clean flash again the rom, make sure you wipe factory data, partition chace and dalvik chace, and then flash it, and then flash gapps.. i've been there in that situation manytimes, even worse..! try as many as rom suits you.. for now im using unoficial carbon rom for xperia zr.. hope it would help

I guess that you have flashed a custom kernel and tried to make a normal boot ...Xperia ZR won't boot normaly when you flash a custom kernel!!Just enter to recovery mode,flash root files,and then flash the stock kernel and the device will boot normaly
use flashtool and flash a fresh .tft

Hi,
I am using Xperia SP, C5302, with Android version: 4.3 and Firmware: 12.1.A.205. I want to install CyanogenMod 11 in my mobile.
Going though different tips and tricks, I was able to root my phone, as well as unlock the bootloader. However, I'm unable to install a custom recovery. It is advised everywhere not to proceed with installing any custom ROM without installing custom recovery.
Currently not able to install CWM recovery in my phone. Also when I tried to boot my phone into recovery, it is not working. Is it because there are no custom recovery installed?
If anyone can tell me how to install the custom recovery in my system, will be very helpful. I've tried installing ROM Manager from Play Store, but it is unable to recognize my device. Also Quick Boot app from Play Store is not able to boot into recovery mode. Also tried using Flashtool and fastboot, not working either. :crying:
Right now, I'm not able to proceed with installing CM11 ROM in my Xperia because I'm afraid I will not be able to boot into recovery mode and hence will not be able to complete the installation and ultimately end up with a bricked phone.
Any help will be greatly appreciated..!!

but if you want to install a rom (on UBL) this is not mandatory to use recovery before bcoz before flahing the rom u have to flash the boot.img of that rom and it contains recovery... so it is good when u are on a UBL...

Thanks deathviper. Followed the instructions and got it installed. Also completed installing CM11 ROM in my Xperia. The link was very helpful. I also followed this link: http://www.teamandroid.com/2014/03/...11-xperia-sp-c5302-c5303-kitkat-custom-rom/2/ to install CM11 ROM in my Xperia SP.
Thanks again..!!

I've allways thought that a locked bootloader would break your boot to a non-stock kernel. I think I read it from doomlord.
Now I wonder if it only blocks fastboot...
Recently I saw a post about CM10.2 working on locked devices... Now you're saying the same, maybe it started working lately somehow...
Though... Sure you saw that work?
I'm about to relock my device and take my chances, should get to it
Update: You may not want to test something for the first time... This one is tested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649923
It's a much longer way. To start with you must get root and CWM recovery on 4.1.2, only to get ROOT on 4.3.

I flashed my xperia sp ( same firmware ) to candy5 using the same method . But I did not flash Gapps in one go . After booting the new ROM everything works fine but I am unable to get into recovery now( remains stuck in sony logo) . I used Rashr , the CWM SP too which I used it when my phone was on stock ROM . Left without essential Gaaps . Please help .
you can do this
Download xperia recovery manager from play store
Hello
I want to change the recovery mode of cyanogen with cmw or twrp.
I have installed cwm and twep from google play, but the device still enters to cyanogenmod recovery only.
second thing please: Can I install stamina mode for xperia sp, I have searched and found it possible for xperia z

Follow this for TWRP.
And you'll still have this recovery even if you change ROMs.

Try Power Nap if you want Stamina Mode.

Thank you very much. I can now use twrp in installing .zip files, but it is too slow in updating C.M., Can I use cyanogen recovery beside it in updating the rom only?
I will try power nap later.. thank you,:good:

Welcome.
If it's too slow, then try flashing a previous version of TWRP by Tomoms.
and AFAIK you can't use both of them together.
I'm sorry I have another two questions please. I know that I ask a lot of question
How can I remove TWRP if I want and return to cyanogen recovery?
second question: I can't update superuser binary through recovery mode.

It's okay to ask questions, Lol.
To remove TWRP you need to flash stock fotakernel by TechnoSparks, of your specific device from here.
If removing TWRP doesn't bring back Cyanogen Recovery, you can get it back by flashing recovery.img file from here with Rashr.
btw quote me, or else I won't get notified about your reply.
Hui guys what happen to my xperia sp c5303..
First i know how to flash custom recovery and rom and ubl..
But recently till now my phone went off after i install cwm either lbl or ubl.. My sp fading and then restart after i reboot my phone in either system or recover.. I don't know what happen right now to my sp.. Plss suggestions.. The onoy way not to encounter this issue is to flash stock ro thru ftf.. My phone hasno problem.. The only problem is when i start install cwm... Or twrp.. Phone got fading and reboot endlessly.. Ajy though masters?? TIA..
Hope u undestand my question
Is your bootloader unlocked?
What is the ROM you were trying to flash? Please give a link
What is the recovery you are trying to flash? Please give a link
That's because when you flash custom rom,you need to install the right kernel(usually it comes in the archive)
Im in lbl or even in ubl this is my recovery i used.
