Just use flashtool to flash the rom again man, i think u should flash the stock rom firs
If it's ok, then flash your custom rom

I am running the official rom no problem it's not allowing me to flash any custom roms in the recovery mod. I cam reboot to recovery either by x-part or holding the menu key while it start.:crying:

You unlock your boot loader with the test point, not root. So please be clear about what you've actually done.

If you want to use a custom ROM then 9 times out of 10 you'll need to use a specific kernel, usually one that comes with CWM.

I know exactly how to flash custom rom, I am coming from MT4G the problem after you flash the rom the phone dosn't boot in recovery it just stay at sony logo, even when i try to boot in fastboot mod dosn't allow me only booting in recovery.

Try this....
1. Flash ur stock ICS firmware 4.1.B.431 ... 2. Don't let it upgrade to the latest firmware (in Canada I got N update that changed my firmware to 4.1.**.587 or something like that)
3. Then flash ur phone with the rootable firmware of xperia generic world version...
4. Flash the kernels for that firmware .. even the stock ICS would be OK..
5. Root the phone using Doomlords method of rooting... Its the best...!
6. At last reboot ur phone ..n violaaa...
U have a completely rooted phone ..!
P.s. make sure u see the log while u root ur phone . It may say rooted successly even if it had some errors... so make sure other are no errors..!
I had the same problem when I decided to unlock boot loader n root it for the first time ... so no worries my friend ...try this .. n it will work for sure.. !

1. If u r flashing the custom rom with flashtool right .?? and while doing tht are u pressing the back key ...or the menu key of ur phone .??
2. If u havent flashed any custom rom untill yet..n still on north america firmware.. then try to re-root it ...and then install CMW via this link..!!
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ohrj5dosijil1od/t_3-MoTVc6
read the recovery.txt file...it shows how to install the cmw...!! n then try to flash a custom rom via CWM ...n lemme know..!!!
cheers..!!
did u hit the thanks button yet.?? :laugh::good:

I think you can't flash custom rom from flash tool it must be flashed from you sd card because it is a zip file. I tried to flash recovery mode you supplied the link with no go.

So u did root and installed cwm by the link I gave right ?
N it showed that .. installation complete.. ?
N now ..the problem is ..
that u cannot enter recovery mode
To flash a custom ROM ?
Am I right ?

search this. clockwork mod recovery for xperia s in xda. It will take you to cwm by doomlord. follow the steps there. Installation of cwm is different for xperia phones. There is no separate recovery partition. As of now Doomlord has compiled a nice cwm recovery for xperia s and just follow the instructions there and flash the kernel.elf file as per the instructions given there

I'm using Xperia S, bootloader unlocked and rooted using FlashTool.
I have installed RecoverX tool and it runs without problems. However, I'm not able to get into the recovery mode. Why??

[Q] Galaxy Grand 4.2.2 Stock Rom Rooting issue

Hello everyone,
Recently I updated my Samsung Galaxy Grand to the official 4.2.2 rom, and since then I'm unable to root my phone.
I flashed CWM Touch Recovery using Odin 3.07, but whenever I boot my phone into recovery mode, the logo shows up then a blank screen for 2 seconds and it restarts to boot normally.
any idea why this is happening?

Try flashing another CWM trough CWM official app in the play store ,
or you can try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46395577&postcount=19
Good Luck

it might be cuz u r using the leaked firmware or whatever it called ( u flashed the 4.2.2 firmware from odin )
here is my suggestion ... i had the same prob as u...
flash 4.1.2 and then let it update normally from mobile to 4.2.2
and after this ... take this special edition of cwm ... ( 100% work ) link : ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_SFFvHY6sAFRllBQTQ1RzY2am8/edit ) and flash it.
( cwm will run only for 1 time ... so u have to flash fix recovery to let it run anytime )
after that ... flash fix-recovery.zip using cwm link : ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/49z2ywg226pqp5x/Fix-Recovery.zip )
*note* you should transfer the fix-recovery file to your mobile just after you update to 4.2.2 and before u start all of this installation guide *note*
hope it works for u...
atleast it did work for me

Well, just flash CWM Recovery using Nokia X Flasher, not manager.
Download CWM Recovery from Android Development Section. And Nokia X Flasher from there too.

Which version of CM are you running? It might be possible that you are running an outdated version of the recovery and hence cannot flash roms.

Some ROMs are flashable via recovery and some are not and are meant to be applied using Fastboot. But if you are rooted, try an app called Flashify. It can be found on Google Play. Today I flashed recovery on my Xiaomi Redmi 2 with it. It works same as fastboot but it's simpler as you don't have to flash via computer.
When I still used my good old Wildfire S, I also tried to flash Cyanogen 11 via Clockworkmod Recovery. And it failed. Then I swapped Clockworkmod for TWRP Recovery and TWRP flashed the zip without problem. Or perhaps you use just too old recovery. I recommend you to try TWRP Recovery, it has touch interface and it is more user friendly
