Hey guys,
I am new to the Xperia Play and am having trouble with installing CWM on it. It is the r800x model (CDMA, Verizon) and I have a locked bootloader.
I first rooted the phone using the ZergRush method with SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859) and used the phone on the stock ROM a little bit. I did some research on the phone and decided I wanted to flash a ROM, so I went on to the next step to put CWM on the phone. I then searched around the forum awhile and found a method to install CWM through an autoinstaller app on the Market (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840).
The autoinstaller worked and I made a nandroid backup of the phone and then proceeded to flash the GBtweaked rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416470). I wiped data and cleared cache and dalvik and went through all the proper steps to ensure it was a clean install and everything worked fine. Then when I tried to flash the Wifi modules for the ROM the phone would not boot to the recovery that I had installed. I tried doing it when you boot up the phone and press a hardware key repeatedly and I also tried to boot the recovery through the app, but it would just reboot my phone normally. I looked through the forums and could not find the answers I needed so I decided to use flashtool to bring my phone back to its original stock ROM.
I rerooted the phone using SuperOneClick again and downloaded the same app that installs the recovery and while the app says the recovery is installed when I use the app to try and boot into the recovery it does not work and just reboots my phone, and when I try to boot into recovery by tapping a hardware button repeatedly at bootup I cannot get into it either. Can anybody help me figure out whats wrong and also help me get the recovery back on the phone??

That's because when you flash the GBTweaked ROM, it formats /system, which is where CWM is installed. Download it from the market via 3G or whatever and reinstall it. You should be good after that.
Next time, flash the ROM and wifi modules before you reboot if possible. That's why I have to do with some of the ROMS I use.
I just got my r800x and followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439474 and I can't boot into CWM. I'm installing it via Xparts but I can't boot into CWM. I'm pressing volume down, and it just boots. Help?

Did you really install CWM from Xparts? I just used it and I don't have a problem with it. On the app itself did you go to "INSTALLS" and click on the Install CWM button? Once CWM is installed boot your device powered down. Then press the power again as it boots up keep pressing the volume d rocker down and you would get yourself into recovery easily.
same issue

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. Tried holding vol down while rebooting through XParts, just boots normally. Tried powering off then powering up manually and holding vol down, just boots normally. XParts said successful install of 5.0.2.7. R800X on 2.3.3 stock.
I used that before getting mine unlocked. I always had to move the files manually & fix permissions in order to get it to stick, I haven't used new app tho.
R800x
Unlocked
Running AOKP milestone6 4.0.4
To get into CWM you cant just simply hold volume down. You have to keep pressing it over and over at the Sony screen till it goes in.
Edit: Ok so I ran into this issue today while flashing some stuff. X-Parts does not seem to be loading CWM properly or something as I could not get into recovery at all. So I went looking for the original method and all fixed now. Link below.

It seems as thought my CWM flash is not sticking? I even tried to boot to recovery from ROM manger but it still takes me to stock recovery. I tried flashing from Rom Manger, it said it was successful and then I was able to boot to CWM, but after a reboot and trying to get back to it from rom manger again or by holding volume up, home and power I cannot get back to it. Why wont my flash stick.

First, are you sure you are rooted?
Second, how are you trying to flash CWM?
You need to follow the method posted in the ATT Development forum and use the CWM that was developed for AT&T. I am using the d2att touch version.

Yes I am rooted. I am using Odin3 v3.04 to flash RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada.tar. I remove the battery once it shows it passes. Hold down volume up, power and home button. It will let me boot to CWM recovery this one time but after that once I reboot I have to redo the steps to get back to CWM recovery. I just tried installing recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.6-d2att.zip. It said it was successful but still no go.
Issues fixed! Apparently for those who have ran the official update by samsung are having this issue where the stock recovery is overwriting CWM recovery after reboot. Here is how to fix the issue. Credit to Max from Galaxys3root
You will need to rename or delete these two files.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
I just renamed them. I'm thinking once there is a offical update such as jelly bean that I want to update too ill just rename them back so the stock recovery will reload and allow the update.

i downloaded the files from the cola thread, the fold they say is called "cola xx.x" or something similar. I do not have this folder at all in the recent download from xda. So I dont know if the link is changed/dead, but the "cola " folder is MIA. Also i have a locked bootloader and they the cola team said I can get into recoery mode but I cannot because of the bootloader. Holding the volume rocker down or up when rebooting does nothing, just a normal reboot. I am new here so I could not post this were I was supposed to and I just need some help getting this rom working. I am rooted using xpria play from verizon gingerbread 2.3.2. Please help me get this rom in my phone or any rom for that matter. I rooted my 2 droids with no probs so I have some experience, its just been ahile. Thanks
Do you have a custom recovery? Maybe use the app x-parts to install recovery. To Get into recovery repeatedly hit Vol down don't hold it as it won't register.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
I do not have a custom recovery, tapping on down volume repeatedly did nothing unfortunatley. Anymore feedback would be greatly appreciated.
You have to install one. Go to market & download x-parts. Have you rooted your phone? Because it has to be rooted in order to install x-parts. But once you have root & install x-parts you will be able to get into recovery.
E: nevermind the question about root. Just download xparts

Your welcome. No 2.3.2 or 2.3.4 (since it's broken). Were stuck on 2.3.3, unless you don't care about syncing with Google server's (2.3.4):good:
UPDATE: I tries rebooting using x-parts app while holding down the down volume key and still cant bring up the boot menu. What am I doing wrong? And My current version of android is the 2.3.2.
Instead of holding vol try pushing repeatedly. That should work as long as recovery was installed successfully.

Just tried reboot into recovery using x-parts then started tapping on volume key for awhile and still did not work.

try pressing the back button several times upon rebooting into recovery
so i just ran LGNPST to get to ZV7, then i updated to ZV8
once i was on ZV8, i rooted and unlocked bootloader successfully using GAIO v1.50
i'm having problems booting into my custom recovery TWRP, after i install the custom recovery using GAIO
i try to shutdown the phone and boot into recovery, but every time i try i get a quick screen of the lg logo then it goes black and it doesn't load the os.
i cant even get to fast boot, so what i've done from here (the past 5 times) is i run LGNPST again and start all over again.
i tried the FreeGee method of installing the custom recovery but the results are the same..
any ideas?

If it says your phone is unsupported then you are trying to load cwm on your phone which shouldn't be needed as free gee should load it on your device(if I remember correctly. Been a while since I unlocked). He is saying that he used it to boot into recovery not load cwm.
I assume that's what he is saying and you are doing if I'm wrong feel free to correct.
You could also install ROM toolbox scroll to the very bottom of the first page click Rebooter and click reboot recovery. That should hopefully take you to cwm where you can flash recovery.

i tried using rom manager to kick me into recovery (chosing trwp recovery before hand with freegee) before and it did the same thing,
rebooted, showed lg logo for a split second, then black screen. i just did the whole process again of using LGNPST to get to ZV7, then i updated to ZV8 then free gee to give me twrp then rom toolbox to kick me into recovery and its the same thing! black screen!
i also tried BEFORE doing freegee to go into recovery after the LGNPST to see what happens, and it just took me to normal recovery.
so my issue has to be with freegee..
should i LGNPST again to get me back up and running and THEN uninstall freegee, reinstall it, and choose clockworkmod as my reovery?
maybe is trwp just failing to load? what are you guys using?
{guide} soft-brick fix
Happened to myself as well. Follow these steps from AdriVelazquez.
Fixed it in a jiffy!
Accessing Recovery Screen (First Step if you have bricked your phone)
This is our initial step for any problems that might arise. If you can access recovery, usually you're in a perfectly fine situation.
1. Power off your phone by holding Volume down & power at the same time.
2. When the screen shuts off, switch to entering fastboot by holding Volume Up & Power. Release immediately once you see a black screen with some text on the bottom.
3. You should see a black screen with some text at the bottom.
4. Press volume down 2x and then the power button.
5. You should see either TWRP or CWM recovery.
6. Wipe Cache, Dalvic Cache, and Factory Wipe
7. Flash new stock zip. Wipe caches again.
8. Restart.
My issue is after I use freegee to unlock the bootloader and to put on twrp recovery
At that moment when I restart my phone won't boot into the android os or fast boot
When I try to enter fast boot by holding power and volume up I never see any text at the bottom of screen it just shows the lg logo then a compete black screen
at this point I'm unable to even enter the OS. So the only thing I can access thankfully is Download mode.
I had the same problem. The way I fixed it was to lgnpst back. Root the phone and then run freegee. Then when I entered the bootloader it did the same lg symbol black screen thing. I held the volume up and down along with power while it was at the black back lit screen for about 20 seconds till it was completely off. Then I plugged it into my computer or you can use a charger to. Wait a few seconds and a battery animation should show up. Leave it on charge for a few minutes and then take it off and turn it on and you should be good to go. I can't guarantee it is going to work but it worked for me and I found it just by trying different things. I also read about someone else mentioning what I did in another soft brick post. I also read that shelnut2 has a special freegee version that you can only get from him. You can try him in irc. I read he dose not want it posted because it could permanently brick the phone.
-Frank
yeah... this is exact same problem that I had before..
You nees to go optimus g IRC channel and talk to shelnutt2 that you are having problem with unlocking bootloader. He will help you nicely cause he is super nice!
irc: http://webchat.freenode.net
channel: #lg-optimus-g
He told me it is very rare issue but I can tell there are several people having this issue now..

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 that is running the ATT Jelly Bean update.
Last night, while looking at ROM manager I got a popup saying there is a newer version of CWM and did I want to install it.
After installing it, the phone will only boot into recovery. I cannot get it to start. And when I tried to restore from a backup that I have used successfully before, I got an error while restoring data.
At this point, I am thinking that I might have bricked this phone. Searching on the ATT Galaxy S3 forum hasn't turned up anything relevant.
Does anyone have an idea what I can try next?
Thanks

If you a can boot into recovery than you aren't bricked.
You can do a factory reset that might clear it up.
Worst case go into download mode and use Odin to reinstall the stock ROM.

Im assuming you powered down, did a battery pull and powered back up? Factory reset?
What error message is displayed when trying to restore a backup?
The latest cwm release is 6.0.2.8. If you came from 6.0.2.3, I would download a cwm flashable zip of that recovery and flash that. Perhaps try a reboot then. If it's still a no-go, try restoring a backup with the cwm you had just downloaded and flashed to see if it will restore without an error message

stranglely pressing the recovery button combo fixed it and im back in CM10.1 #lolwut?
In the end I got the phone working again
For whatever reason, after getting that update to ClockworkMod, the phone would not boot.
I followed the Beginners' Guide to Rooting the Galaxy S3 forum. When I was finished I immediately got an OTA update from ATT.
So now the phone is running again, but I've lost most of my customization and personal data.
What is with this CWM "upgrade?" Or is the problem with ROM Manager?
More likely is that I did something wrong.
At least I can make calls now.
Same here, stay away from that update! Bad things!
This also happened to me. Cwm is showing up as .9 instead of .8. I flashed a previous version of twrp and it still proceeded to go into recovery mode after selecting reboot. I did a factory reset and re flashed aokp and also cm10.1 (along with gapps of course) and it still did it. So I pulled the battery and put it into download mode and reset it from there. That's the only way to get the phone to boot up. From what I see here, is the basic fix for this problem flashing an older cwm in Odin?
Having the same issue, version .9 No amount of clearing data/wipe/reflash/restore will do anything for me either. So much for a lunchtime AOKP update...
I've looked in several different forums on xda and the general fix seems to be flashing a previous version of cwm. No need to reset your phone and flash roms all day long.
Download prior cwm release (.tar)
pull battery and replace
boot to download mode
connect to pc and flash cwm
Disconnect, pull battery, reboot
Here's the 6.0.2.3 release. You can grab the .8 in the Android dev section if you wish
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sfkjtndn7k0urmh/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-d2att.tar
Let me know if this does not work. If your device is not recognized by your pc, you can try flashing this cwm zip in recovery itself (if you have a micro sd card):

I flashed with the same version of cwm I had previously before this issue (6.0.28). It seems to be an issue with 6.0.29 if so many people have this same issue.

I believe this can even be simplified a bit more. At least for me, some people may find Odin to be the simple way to do things. So you're stuck at recovery:
Hold the power button for 10 seconds to power off.
Boot to download mode by holding volume down and home. The phone will probably start to boot right away after releasing the power button. If it doesn't go to download, then your timing is off, try again.
Hold the power button for 10 seconds to power off and reboot.
It should boot regularly now.
Flash a new recovery. You can download CWM 6.0.2.8 or use this as an opportunity to move to TWRP. Once you have the img file on your phone, go to a terminal and (after su, if needed) run dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (replace "/sdcard/recovery.img" with the path and name of the img file you downloaded. You can also flash the recovery using whatever other on-phone method you prefer.
The CWM download page is now showing that 6.0.2.8 is the newest version for many of the S3 variants, so they've certainly noticed the bug.

How is this simpler? There are left out bits and errors all through your instructions. My steps were for odin so I'm not sure why you thought they were not.
Hi, I'm pretty new new to this but i am having some issues. I use the 2.3.3 Rogers stock rom with flashtools and I can root and install CWM with xparts. Then, i reboot to recovery and choose to install the gin2jellybean zip which works but when the phone reboots it is stuck on the "android" animation and never leaves that screen. I've tried other stock ROMS with firmares .62, .58, but they would not let me boot into CWM after installing with xparts the phone just boots up to the lock screen as normal no matter ho wmany times i press the BACK button (i heard some people say the volume down button, can this change after using flashtools?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I want to add that i am using rogers r800a with locked bootloader kernel v. 2.6.32.9-perf....
I finally got it to work after i found this FTF file for r800a:
