[Q] How to boot to recovery?

Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom

Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

You have to turn the phone on, when you see the first image of the android on the screen keep tapping the back button, you will get in trust me I had the same problem

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine

OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

Did you try everything from this thread?
eg. Pushing back/wolume button (or maybe other) when the led lights.
If yes. Try get to it using command or reflash boot.img

Have you installed CWM?

No, I don't know how to do it...

Are you rooted?
If not, do you know how to do that?

No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.

To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm

WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.

That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it

Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

Reflash the kernel. See if that helps. And press the volume keys (you can also try using the back button) when the blue LED lights up to enter CWM.

Then the kernel didn't flash properly or you're not pressing the volume button enough.

Download the attached zip, extract it to a folder and put your boot.image in it, then open a command prompt window (hold the shift key and right click - Open command window here), then copy and paste this in to it, hit enter...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
...and report back.

Can someone help me with some links to root it? Can i root him with this version or i have to downgrade and install other rom?
Keep in mind that i cant get to fastboot mode cuz my settings buton is broke, dunno why it doesnt work...and i cant find a keypad to replace it atm. ive replaced "back" button with the settings one but still wont work. So if i need to get into fastboot, i really cant atm

Testpoint it and root using flashtool. Im not complete sure but google it and look in the general

That does not help. You can't root via testpoint method.

[Q] How to enter Recovery Mode on Ion

Hey, I have a friend with a Sony Xperia Ion (as identified by my computer) she's locked out of it; someone else tried to figure out her pattern and entered it more than 20 times. As far as I know, she doesn't know her secret question or her google account information, either.
My plan to try to bypass the pattern lock is to use AROMA file manager to delete the gesture.key file in /data/system, hopefully that'll remove the pattern lock. So here are my questions:
How can I mount the filesystem on USB to transfer AROMA to her SD?
How can I get into recovery mode to flash AROMA?
The second one is what I really don't get. How does recovery mode work on the Xperia Ion? I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery. Everything I've tried (Hold volume up/volume down/both while powering on) still causes the phone to boot normally.

Did you flash recovery before? If yes you may have to rap SONY logo 5-6 times while booting to get in to recovery or press volume + button 5-6 times while booting. Remember Sony phones do not have stock recovery. You have to flash custom recovery.
And I know another way to remove lock code. Just flash stock ftf. But are you going to loose all the apps.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Thanks!!! I didn't realize sony phones lacked a stock recovery. I don't want to flash stock ftf becuase I want to preserve apps if at all possible. Can you recommend a custom recovery to flash?

hey try this video it will help u to get unlock without losing data

Look for the development section. You can find cwm recovery easily.
