hm... tried that but it just boots the phone normally.
tried just pressing and holding "BACK" and consecutively pressing "BACK" to no avail.
Have you installed cwm from market then installed into phone.
What I mean is cwm has a 2 stage install 1 install app
2 open app and then click install on to phone.
The shut down menu will not show reboot option. you have to shut down then restart manually when you see sony logo press/spam the back button constantly until cwn loads, if this not work try using down volume button again spam/ pressing continually

make sure that CWM is installed correctly
On xperia Arc S you need to press a few times the VolumeUp and VolumeDown buttons as soon as you see the FreeXperia logo. You'll notice that the led becomes violet when you're entering into recovery mode.
got it working, guys.
downloaded Xperia CWM Auto-Installer from market and worked like a charm.
thanks for all the help.

works great
First you'll need a rooted and CWM supported kernel. Shut down the device. Press the power button and wait. When the boot logo came wait for a little vibration. Then press the Back or Volume Down button several times. There you go. You're in Clock Work Mode Recovery.

Flash old kernel from 5/2015 build, then make a factory reset, then flash new kernel.

Hey guys,
Just flashed the latest V10 Doomkernal on my Xperia Play, but how do I enter CWM ? I have tried the volume down button but I get nothing.
Thanks.
Press the back button repeatedly for 10-15 seconds after you've just turned the phone on

You can try to install the CWM created by X-parts.
You can try to visit their thread by going into this link CWM thread
Hi, I put a miui rom onto my arc s following this method so that I wouldn't need to unlock my bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742989
Howver It wont let me boot into recovery. I have downloaded rom manager and x-parts and both when I try to do it through this it just does a normal system reboot. I have also tried through the miui settings and the classic volume and power button holding and both also just do a normal reboot.
Does anyone know whats wrong or how to fix?
Thanks very much
Can anyone help? let me know if this is in the wrong place

Did you follow the installation steps ?
Arc S?
Power and vol combo?
If you power on the phone, then repeatedly tap the back button it enters recovery.
Thanks for the replies looks like ill have to re-root it then
(oh I thought it was vol button, my mistake but the back button version doesn't work either
Do i need to 'un-root' before I root again if that makes sense?
I'm having the same problem
Hello,
I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM. I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader using Galaxy Nexus toolkit a while ago, and flashed the 4.1.1 stock ROM (Build number JRO03C). Yesterday i received a notification for a system update to 4.1.2. I hit download, phone rebooted into recovery, i chose to flash the rom and everything seemed fine, however i'm still on the older version 4.1.1. Now, when i try to boot my phone into recovery (VOL_DOWN & Power Button) it shows me the boot screen and says "Downloading, please do not turn off" and i can't do anything. If I hit the power button again the phone reboots normally. Any ideas what I can do?
Sorry if I am at the wrong section.

Volume down and power is the key combo for Odin download mode. You want volume up, volume down, and power. This will take you into the bootloader. From there, you can use volume up/down to scroll to recovery and press power to load into recovery.
That used to happen to me.....I later realised that it's Coz of the update....well simply return to the previous version of the app and re-flash without the upgrade. Hope it helps u out too.

The OTA won't flash if you have changed any system files or you're not running stock recovery & radio & kernel ...

Thanks a lot! So how can I restore the Odin mode from applying the update? Reflash the ROM?

Hi I think I have bricked my phone, and I am looking for some help please I rooted and intalled CWM on a unlocked bootloader Xperia Arc S lt18i
This morning I flashed Beautiful ics 4.2.1 via CWM after doing all the wipes date, cache,dalvik,battery and then installed the rom.
When my phone came back on no led lights flashed and the sony logo is stuck on the screen. I have tried going in to recovery by holing down power button and pressing the volume down button but it doesn't work. I have tried connecting phone to my laptop but it doesn't see it any more.
I don't know what else to try,
Any help please.
Best install stock firmware by using Flashtool (or flash custom kernel so you have root already) and start all over again.
Be sure you wipe everything before flashing a new rom.
