[Q] Can't get in CWM mode.

Hello Guys, i have a huge problem.
I flashed kernel for Mango not for anzu. I mistakened the boot.img file and now my phone is stuck on boot screen.
Tried everything in forums and nothing works for me!
MY phone is rooted (or was, don't know what's now with the phone)
Was bootloader unlocked.
Everything was just fine, but wanted to get another Rom installed and did [Rom][WIP][JB4.2.2][Arc/S/Pro] Unofficial CM10.1 build 20130326, but installed the wrong boot.img
PC doesn't recognize my phone.
Can't get in CWM mode (
* My computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode (Entering by powering up and after pink led flash volume up)
In overall :
I got stuck black screen while booting, i guess 2nd boot screen
I get no logos, just black screen.
When adding USB and connecting to PC it shows just Green Led (it's fully charged)
Entering the Fastboot mode or CWM recovery mode (By powering up and after pink led flashes pushing volume up - it gives just a black screen and blue led (fastboot mode, i guess)
What could be the problem?
I've searched for answer about 2 days now, but no progress.
I'm desperate guys, HELP!

I wrote fastboot flash boot boot.img (The phone is in Fastboot mode (i guess) - Method i used "Enter fastboot while holding menu button and plugging usb in. You will get blue led"
And it just says <waiting for the device > by writting in CMD
My PC recognizes that and USB device is plugged in
Flashtool - shows

I used Stock Rom (4.0.4 - Branding 4.1.B.0.587)
Ideas: Maybe i should reroot again? The only thing I can do, what I know is I can flash .ftf files.
WHAT COULD I DO?

I don't know how to flash in flashmode.
I know that with Flashtools in flashmode I can flash Frameworks i guess (.ftf files).
If there is another way to flash with flashmode, then please enlighten me
I saw that there is Roms in zip and in .ftf files.
I want to have a ROM with .zip, but i'll try with .ftf firstly!
THE ROM I TRIED : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147958
Tried my way, but no changes.
I NEED HELP!
Found a version of what could I do, but is there a posibility that I could make .ftf file from ZIP?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867

Click the first link in my sig, read, watch, learn, repair, done.

stock rom is FTF file. Flash them with flashtool. When you return your phone to complete stock and start over you flash a ftf file. And no you cannot turn a zip into a ftf

I've looked in your post, but didn't seem to understand what I need to get over my problem, please just direct me to right paragraph.
There is too many paragraphs!
How can I Change my Kernel, if I can't get in fastboot mode and in Recovery mode.
Only way I see is by flashmode option in Flashtools software.

BIG THANKS, i clicked THANK YOU!

[Q] Back to recovery custom rom

I think this is the safest topic to post my problem....
I've installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263625
I'm not really happy with it, but I cannot go back to recovery mode. I did it before by tapping the sony logo, but it's not there anymore. I'm tapping a lot but nothing happens.
How do I do that???

Try to reflash the recovery again. Or flash kernel which contain recovery if you bootloader is unlocked.

Maybe press vol+ when kernel logo appears? Mine work like that in Xperia Ion with TWRP.

Worked Arnob, but I can't install my old rom. When I walk through the setup it installs it, but when i reboot it's stuck in looping the trinity rom

Still no solution. I want to get rid of it but I can't!

Flash again/or another ROM with Flashtool. You must put your phone in flashmode.Will solve your problem.

I don't get it? What is your phone actually doing? If you hold volume up and power for like 20 secs does it vibrate 3 times?

no need to worry mate...
all you need to do is get into bootloader ode and if you are successful in it you will be able to flash new roms..
first of all download a kernel compatible kernel with the rom you wish to install..
then boot into bootloader mode (if u r stuck in recovery power off your phone then press volume up+power simultaneously.)
then flash the correct kernel using fastboot.
finally flash rom in recovery...
hope it helps..

Hey iggy I have the same problem, have the same kernel (2.6.32.9) and software and I saw your post to download different kernel, the problem is when I open the link, it's empty (nothing downloads).
So I downloaded the content on the link and it doesn't show in the downloads folder. And I don't even know where to flash it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

you guys can try any kernel with cwm included.
or i saw an method to install cwm via flashtool (manuell). What is the problem btw?
you dont see the blue light or it doesnt open it when you put volume down?
yall can show at xparts (there is standing install cwm) sometimes it doesnt work on the latest version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
download the version 5 and install cwm again, if it shows cwm succesfully installed you installed cwm, if it doesnt i can show you guys how to install cwm by another way.
if it is succesfully installed you can reboot and put volume down when the blue light turns on at sony logo or go to xparts again and try boot in cwm.
i hope i helped you guys, if i dont please ask again
yours,
slimy !

This method is for locked bootloader, if you have an unlocked bootloader just flash a kernel with a recovery. Furthermore, this recovery will be gone every time you install a new ROM because this recovery is installed to /system partition which is wiped when you flash a new ROM.

My LT18i with locked bootloader don't get the blue light... I already flashed ftf several times and tried the Sony Companion repair... it don't work. I can Root but can't enter CWM mode.
In the past it worked fine, I already had UHD instaled but after I tried another ROM the problem started after it gets freezed in Sony Logo... I flahsed the original Sony firmware and now I can't enter CWM even after instalation... The blue light never appear... instead the blue light, the screen gets brighter for 1 second.
Do you know any way to get CWM working again?
Already tried the method of this post and the X-Parts... they don't work... at the boot it starts normal system... even If I press BACK button or Volume down...
Thanks.

yes it can be fixed it, you just need to flash boot.img from latest cm12.zip just download it, if you already have it you just need to extract it with winrar and flash that kernel using flashtool in fastboot mode. first connect your phone in fastboot mode to your pc and open flashtool after that open the lightning icon and select fastboot mode, after that choose select kernel to flash and choose that boot.img from cm12. and wait it until finished. after that copy cm12.zip to your external storage and insert again your memory card to your phone and turn it on.
after sony logo is up hit vol up button until led is change from pink to blue and you will enter to cmrecovery. after that install cm12 file from that recovery after that do a wipe data and restart your device.
done
Have try
