is your bootloader unlocked? because if its not you cant.
as bladestonez said, the recovery partition is included in the kernel and the kernel is only flashable via fastboot (which needs the bootloader to be unlocked)
Check out the xperia mini pro section someone there has got cwm to work without unlocking the bootloader!
Edit: I just posted all the stuff to install cwm easily on the phone with a locked bootloader over in the dev section!

Hey guys
I have a question ., i want to flash my arc to stock rom and i want to flash it using wotan server but when i download the drivers and the wotan client it asks me for an update but it just doesn't update at all i tried many times and it didnot work
any ideas ?
thanks
and i have a small little question i want to install a theme on my brothers phone
he has an arc rooted but bootloader locked
can i do that?? and how ????? or i have to unlock the bootloader ?
thanks again
Not sure about Wotan, why not use flashtools to flash generic stock rom.
About themes if it is rooted install cwm most can be applied this way, mods can be installed as well.
Look in Dev sections and app/theme for the tools I mentioned or look at some of the how to guides.

Look in app and theme section it has an installer like an ordinary app.

Firstly, welcome to the forums thanks for posting in the right section...
Secondly I need help I did this wrong is not enough information to help you. What Model is the phone?
What did you do before the issue?
What steps did you take to try and fix the issue?
Thirdly don't type one long line in all caps no one wants to read that.
Try holding power plus the up volume button wait for three vibrates.
Try flashing your stock ftf in flash tool if you can shut the phone off and go into download mode.
Lastly the thread title, I assume you have an Xperia s and since we have more then one model in this forum your title should be [Q] (Xperia s) *name of issue*

Anyways that's all I can do to help others will know more also search the forum I think your problems been solved 81 times now and relax your phone will be fine when someone smarter then me comes by to help you

Maybe you can flash your phone to stock ROM again with the new Sony flashtool. Than you can root/flash your phone again as you like
