[Q] Can't Install CWM Recovery on Xperia SP

I have this ROOTED XSP .205 with LOCKED bootloader and I was trying to install CWM recovery by following a procedure that was only for Locked Bootloader Xperia Sp but I couldn't install it.
First in the cmd it was giving
'can't find specific path'
Then I found out that I needed to extract that zip file to C: that I did and after that im getting,
'You've selected Xperia SP, let's go"
And it is stuck on that, getting nowhere.
Im a newbie so not have much idea if someone can help that'd be a life saviour, please.

Have u tried again after restarting the computer and phone??
I am also trying to do so but stuck on *daemon started successfully*
After that cmd window stuck there. So any one have answer please let me know.

Try flashing recovery .img file with Rashr

You can't install CWM Recovery without a CWM Rom , and I think you can't install locked bootloader on unlocked bootloader, I recommend use Flash Tools and Unlock your bootloader. And Flash a Kernel with TWRP Recovery and Wipe and Flash a CWM Rom (huashan ROM for Xperia SP) after it you get CWM Recovery and TWRP Recovery for extra I recommend use Helium Kernel to do it

hello can you help me with somehting i am on android 4.3 in xperia sp yesterday i have deleted my prima files by mistake can you upload them for me from your phoone

I found installing XZDualRecovery very easy. You get TWRP, CWM and PhilZ.
-install supersu from play store
-activate usb debug in developer options
-unzip xzdualrecovery file
-run install program from the unzipped folder
-follow steps on the screen, you will have to grant supersu access on your phone at some point.

Looking for help with failed flash.

Hi. I have a Xperia Z1 C6903 (honami) and I tried to install Cyanogenmod on it by following this tutorial:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_honami
What I did:
1. Unlocked bootloader, had no problems with that.
2. Went to fastboot, flashed over Boot.img, after that I couldn't get to recovery (probably because I didn't install it first)
3. Tried another Boot.img for the Free Xperia project, after that my device had a flashing red light.
4. Reflashed the previous CM Boot.img back.
3. I was told to install recovery, so I installed TWRP (Still couldn't get to recovery mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/rec-twrp-2-8-6-0-z1-honami-t3074845
Now I've downloaded Flashtool along with a general FTF file, my next plan was to flash the whole thing, but I'm asking if there was something I did wrong and how to fix up this mess?
Right now by going into recovery mode I get stuck at Sony logo, tried waiting 10 minutes but nothing.
EDIT: Tried to fix it by installing Emma, reinstalled stock lollipop ROM, and TA (I think that's recovery) and nothing, can't even see sony logo anymore
EDIT2: Flashed stock ROM with Flashtool, still doesn't work...

need help, mucked up during installing cm11

I have a Sony Xperia Z1 and I have had cyanogenmod12.1 on my device for a little while now, but there are a couple of bugs and I wanted to go back to cyanogenmod11, so I downloaded the cm11 zip file onto my device and copyed it to the sd card,I then downloaded TWRP manager because the cyanogenmod recvoary does not have a zip file or flash part in the recovary, so I followed the procedures and then I flashed TWRP recovary. Once I got into the TWRP recovary I found the zip file for cm11 I then clicked flash. Not long later it said succesfull and then i had to reboot, i clicked reboot and this is where it whet wrong. My device then went into a bootloop because I left my device for 10mins. I then tried to access the custom recovary but it just came up with the sony logo and no custom recovary has come up since.

If you made a backup, flash dual recovery then restore the backup?
Otherwise flash stock and start again

The only solution is to flash your firmware and start from zero point
Since you said there is bootloop and no recovery
Or you can flash twrp img file through fastboot mode
But for safety flash is best

You do not need to do a fresh flash. Doing so without deselected some things might wipe data like photos.
1. If you don't already have the fastboot and ADB drivers, get them here
2. Download a kernel with recovery and extract the boot.img
3. Open up command prompt in the folder the boot.img is in
4. Make sure your device is turned off completely
5. Hold volume down while attaching it to your computer
6a. If you just want to have temporary acces to recovery type in this code:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
6b. If you want to keep acces and use the recovery after rebooting type in this code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. Enter recovery the way you would normally do, backup your important files and/or flash the new rom and kernel you would like to use

[Q] Xperia V LT25i cannot enter TWRP recovery mode

Hi everyone,
My Xperia V LT25i cannot enter TWRP recovery mode.
I tried (VolDwn + Pwr) and (VolUp + Pwr) when it's off.
I also tried (adb reboot recovery) and (Boot to Recovery option in QuickReboot App) when it's on.
No luck entering TWRP.
The LED blinked in white for an instance then the phone just went on a normal booting.
This looks like a simple silly question but I have seriously dug into all the similar threads I can find and still no solutions.
Current status of my phone:
Model: LT25i
Android Ver.: 4.3
Firmware: 9.2.A.0.295
Bootloader unlocked: YES (checked by *#*#7378423#*#*)
Rooted: YES (rooted by towelroot and checked by Root Checker Basic)
TWRP installed: YES (flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-tsubasa.img into my phone using App Install Method)
The status of TWRP is not checked since I am not sure whether there's a way to do so.
I opened the app, made a recovery.img and saw it there under my sdcard folder (this means that TWRP is normally functioning right?).
My phone is in extremely good health, not bricked.
I just wanted to try the fantastic ROM StryFlex™ Marshmallow for Xperia V,
following the instructions step by step and got stuck at TWRP.
Please help and thanks for your time reading this thread

if it works like my Xperia Z you can try to put your Xperia T on fastboot. Then rename the TWRP.img to boot.img.
Then in plat-form tools folder open the terminal and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". After that "fastboot reboot". After that the phone reboots automatically into TWRP

Hello,
Thanks for replying.
This method works perfectly. The device booted into TWRP.
But now I am facing the question that it wouldn't boot back to system @@.
Am I suppose to do the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command again and flash back normal boot.img? (If yes, where can I find one?)
Or did I mess something up while flashing StryFlex™ ROM in TWRP?
Thanks for your time reading this thread!

It seems the default bootloader of this phone doesn't support entering recovery by press volumn button. Pressing volumn buttons on powering up is only functional when the phone is connected to PC, moreover, vol up+power will boot into fastboot mode, vol down+power will boot into flashmode which works with flashtool.

if you are using stock rom, you should do the following steps to enter twrp:
1. Get flashtool ready on PC, and the drivers for your phone;
2. Connect your phone to PC;
3. Power up your phone by pressing vol up+power button to enter into fastboot mode;
4. In flashtool, flash twrp.img with fastboot flash mode;
5. reboot your phone, and it will boot into twrp;
6. when you want to get back to android, pull the kernel.sin out from FTF corresponds to your rom, and flash it in the same way while flashing twrp.img;
7. reboot your phone.

Be sure to download the right type of TWRP that supports booting system after you flash your custom ROM. Mine for example lets me flash Stryflex and after is automatically replaced by the standard one but nothing affects the stability of the ROM.
So you should check on TWRP official site the recovery, rename it into "boot.img", flash it though cmd and then restart in recovery. Do a clean flash (check also the repartition of data), flash ROM + Gapps and then reboot.
It works on my Xperia Z and also another Xperia T from a friend
