[Q] Install CWM on stock

I already have root using DoomLord one click method on stock ICS on my Arc S. I now need CWM. Is there any way to get CWM on there without installing a full ICS mod and without losing my existing setup?

flash this kernel.it's official with cwm preinstalled.

If your phone is rooted you can install CWM with flash tool.

To install cwm you need root.

Root for 4.0.4 Xperia Arc/ Arc S was out a while ago. One must downgrade the kernel, root and then upgrade it.

try to put your drive into flashmode and flash back to a stock rom/kernel and try install the big pack on an GB rom!

First of all, go to this forum and download the LT15i 4.0.4 update for your phone. I suggest Generic Global World.
Flash it using the latest version of Flashtool (v0.8.6.0). Check the No Final Verification box. Welcome to the correct build of ICS for your phone. LOL!
Now you've already downloaded the LT18's 4.0.3 ftf previously. Using Flashtool, just flash the kernel alone of the 4.0.3 build. Make sure you exclude everything else. The 4.0.3 kernel is rootable using the zergrush exploit.
Once that's done, flash back the 4.0.4 kernel. Again making sure to exclude everything else other than the kernel.
And there you go, you have a rooted 4.0.4. After this, go download pvyParts' Xperia CWM Auto-Installer from the market.
That should solve your problem. You should have no issues with CWM after that. (Maybe except a slight offline charging issue. )

[Q] How do i install CWM recovery on arc s running ICS

Hi, i recently upgraded my arc LT15i to an arc s LT18i with ICS, all is working well with no problems. I want to install cwm recovery onto my phone as i want to flash more mods. After looking around i see you need cwm recovery in case it all goes wrong. I have installed rom manger from the market place but when i try to flash cwm recovery it asks if i have installed a cwm based recovery manually ( i haven't) i select no and it tells me that until cwm recovery is available, rom manager will not work with LT18i. Can anyone help or advise. I am fairly new to this flashing business so simple terms please.
Thanks
Phil

[HOW-TO] CWM on ICS

To have CWM on phone,
For locked bootloader, use Xperia Auto Installer. Can be download at market.
For unlocked bootloader, flash custom kernel with CWM like Stock ICS kernel with CWM, ArcKnight and Doomkernel.
You can search custom kernel here

It was designed for 2,3,4
But it works fine on ics. bare in mind that my app installs cwm into the system recovery. And if you have an unlocked.bootloader your better off getting a kernel with cwm. Or getting the stock kernel with cwm put in to the ramdisk
Oh one note the app will break offline charging. I have a fix.in my thread for it tho and as soon as my pc will compile.apps again I'll release a new version on the market.

[Q] Is there a ICS Kernel for MK16i with CWM?

Title says it all, I just want a Kernel for ICS with CWM.

Kernels are booted with fastboot. CWM just flashes roms/mods etc.

He wants to install CWM.. As far as I know, only ICS option is Riyal's test kernel which isn't really "done" yet but it has CWM and lets you overclock too. Also tends to reboot phone occasionally, mostly during deep sleep.

Exactly, I want to have CWM on ICS.
Yeah I've heard Riyal is working on Ultima ICS, but I really want to try it but with some tweaks to improve its performance.
I think I'll have to wait him to finish a stable version of Ultima ICS.
Thanks anyway.

You guys kind of summoned pvy, lol.
Well, now that I have your attention and know that it works.
I imagine it installs the CWM in the Rom and not the Kernel and that if I do a full wipe it will go away, correct?
Also, it works with a button combo or such from the start up or just through a menú when already booted?

Yes and yes. It doesn't touch the kernel.
You can invoke it through the app i.e. boot into recovery or the usual method by pressing back repeatedly when you see the LED light up at the Sony boot screen.

Is there any actual way to install CWM in MK16i ICS 4.0.4? The app in play store "Xperia CWM Auto-Installer" explicitly says that it only works on 2.3 (GB), and sure enough, even with root permision, it says it is incompatible with MK16i ICS 4.0.4

PvyParts said that he didn't know the model number and that he would add it. Once he does, it should work.

What xtacy said. Even the same developer pvy told us he didn't know the model.
Besides I wanted to have it IN the Kernel, which is already being developed by Riyal. This is an old question.

[Q] Cannot access CWM Anymore All of a Sudden

I decided to flash some ZIPs and so as usual go to CWM and flash. I've noticed this time it doesn't work, the usual way I do it is pressing the back button, tried the volume down button as well but no luck. Is there any reason why this happened? Could it be because I flashed a new framework recently that added on screen buttons? Or could have it been some modules I flashed to enable USB drives on my phone for stock ROM.
Is it possible to re install it without messing up my phone? I have modified the SystemUI and Framework so I'm not sure if I can. I use a program called RecoverX to install CWM but it only works on stock ROMs, I'm on stock but could the modified Framework make the installation corrupted? I may want to try using X-Parts but it has never successfully installed CWM for me which is why I use RecoverX.
Additional Details

-Stock .587 ROM with on screen buttons enabled
-Locked Bootloader

It should not be the problem of the framework. Not very sure about the USB Drivers though. If you are willing to unlock bootloader, you can flash a stock kernel with CWM and try to flash the zip files again.

Sadly, my bootloader status is unable to be unlocked. I suppose I could always flash back to stock ROM but I don't want to re install and configure everything again. Once I re-flash everything I would probably get the same problem I had in the first place. I cannot make a nandroid back up as well although I did find an app in the play store that will create one for you, although I'd prefer using CWM because it seems much safer. Does anyone know if reinstalling it would damage the phone? I'll try contacting the developer of the program. ,

Not that I know of, since you cannot unlock bootloader. If you could, flashing a kernel with CWM would have done the trick.
