http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840 or unlock your boot loader.

Download from the link v5 (v7 dies not install properly)and install app, then open app and install cwm into system.
To enter recovery press the back key when you see Sony logo, it might be vol button or just try every button until you find which works on your phone

Hi there,
I am using Rush Kernel on Ultimate HD 3.0.2
Device Arc S
I am not able to get into recovery mode (unlocked bootloader - status checked) with pushed volume down button.
Can anyone help me? Or is this normal? (I am sorry, but I didn't read all 32 pages of Rush Kernel thread)
Thanks in advance!

How to boot in recovery mode?

Hi,
I want to install the next rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448552
through recovery mode.
But how do i come in the recovery mode on my SE Arc S?
--
I had already tried with ROM Manager but then nothing happens, only the phone is rebooted, and does not start in recovery mode.

Thanks!

Install the x-parts app and through the app install recovery.
To boot into recovery, turn on your phone and in the Sony Ericsson splash screen (not the boot animation, the first screen) and when the LED indicator turns blue, press volume down, then you'll be in recovery.
Next time you post a question use the Q&A forums.

installing cwm recovery using cwm autoinstaller apk but my phone does not reboot into recovery.i have tried pressing every key volume rockers,back key,mrnu key but nothings happen.pls help.

Propably you'll need to have kernel with recovery inside so you'll have to unlock bootloader.

Factory reset shouldn't do any harm. It's just going to delete all your data on phone and restore default settings. Anyway, if you would eventually have some problem, you will be able to fix it with Flashtool.

You want to install cm10.1? You must use custom kernel with it... They have cwm version built in... You don't have to install cwm...

Turn on the phone, remove finger from power button, and continuously tap the volume up button. If you have CWM then it should boot.

after i flashed a new kernel whit flashboot when i try to power on the phone i'm stuck with the sony logo

did you unlock your bootloader before flashing CM? try flashing the stock or better yet a stock based kernel that already has a recovery built into it using this tutorial..that way you can flash a stock or stock based rom on your device

thnx for you all i've flashed a new kernel and it now works

Recovery Help

here it goes.. i want to make a backup of my phone, i access the recovery but cant select anything because my home button is not working.. is there anyway i can get access to it?? please help.. thanks..

Is ur home button broken or something?

If you are on unlocked bootloader, you can use twrp recovery (have touchscreen recovery)
If you are on locked bootloader, it could be hard. You can make backup with app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup but restoring will be problem. Have you tried power button or X on gamepad is working as home button?
