Which won't help as the kernel doesn't boot anyway. Wait for a fix and in the meantime flash another kernel.

help me, how do I reboot in recovery?

Hi
For many days I have been sitting here and read and read and read trying to reboot my phone into recovery mode, I have not succeeded in this, can someone explain how I should do in a simple way?, my phone is rooted and have unlocked boat loader, can I install clockwork fashion?, and how do I do that?
The reason why I want to be able to reboot in recovery mode is that I have tried the "kitchen" here!
Install Doom's kernel and press back buton at boot when the lights light up to enter recovery.

To use the CMW on a Stock ROM you will need to have Un-Locked Bootloader and run the RecoveryArc.img from the Computer, but if you use a Custom Kernel such as DoomKernel, or a Custom ROM such as CyanogenMod it comes as Standard. You can find the RecoveryArc.img HERE

Hi
What means with custom kernell?,the data that already exits on my phone do I have to wipe that when I install a custom kernel?, do you mean clockworkmode when you say that it come as standard?
Don´t I need to take a backup on my "kernel" that I have in my phone now?

[Q] Can't get in CWM mode.

Hello Guys, i have a huge problem.
I flashed kernel for Mango not for anzu. I mistakened the boot.img file and now my phone is stuck on boot screen.
Tried everything in forums and nothing works for me!
MY phone is rooted (or was, don't know what's now with the phone)
Was bootloader unlocked.
Everything was just fine, but wanted to get another Rom installed and did [Rom][WIP][JB4.2.2][Arc/S/Pro] Unofficial CM10.1 build 20130326, but installed the wrong boot.img
PC doesn't recognize my phone.
Can't get in CWM mode (
* My computer doesn't recognize the phone in fastboot mode (Entering by powering up and after pink led flash volume up)
In overall :
I got stuck black screen while booting, i guess 2nd boot screen
I get no logos, just black screen.
When adding USB and connecting to PC it shows just Green Led (it's fully charged)
Entering the Fastboot mode or CWM recovery mode (By powering up and after pink led flashes pushing volume up - it gives just a black screen and blue led (fastboot mode, i guess)
What could be the problem?
I've searched for answer about 2 days now, but no progress.
I'm desperate guys, HELP!

There is too many paragraphs!
How can I Change my Kernel, if I can't get in fastboot mode and in Recovery mode.
Only way I see is by flashmode option in Flashtools software.

remove batery after 10 seconds place it. now open flashtool and select correct firmware then flash. it shows preparing device. after 1 min it says to "connect phone in flash mode"
now only you have to connect your phone to pc it's important for bootloop devices.
press and hold volume down + connect usb
phone led turns into green

well make sure you install drivers for fast boot else it wont work
drivers are in flash tool folder C:\Flashtool\drivers in my case its here if you have used default settings look and install and select fastboot from list when installing
Download any ROM (Best is Cyongen or LiquidSmoooth)
Download a rom and boot your phone into fastboot mode and install .zip file.THAT'S IT :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.Hit thanks button if I helped you
Bro if you have C2004 means I am ready to give my nandroid backup you can easily restore with Cwm no worries about flash mode other model means pls specify model no I will try...

[Q] {Q} Xperia S hard break

Hi,
I've really big problem and i hope that here i get sugestion...
1, I try flash new ROM to my phone. I copy ROM to "SD card" but in wrong version.
After this I into Flashtool get new Kernel and new ver. of TWRecovery. Then I go to recovery and start flashing as every time before...
2, But now I'm in bad sittuation. I can only get into recovery... When i want to go to bootloger, i can't. Every time when I go to bootloger from recovery, i'm back in recovery. Every time is phone reaction the same as I hold power up button+vol. up. And I'm only in recovery.
When I want transfer some ROM to phone, I can't. Cose when I Mount USB massstorage I see phone as "Elementary sys device". I have install ABD device drivers...
Changelog I can't get you, cose it's in "SD card"...
3, Please, Show me "the way" out of this sh*t... I use HTC HD2 few years, all time flashing. Now I use Xperia S for 3 yr. All time flashing. But now I'm in a wrong way ind can't get my phone to standby

Boot phone into recovery, then run following command to copy the ROM to phone memory.
Code:
adb push /path/to/ROM.zip /sdcard/
Then flash the ROM via recovery!

Yes, I'm in TWRP, exactly v.2.8.0.1, from topic of your ROM. Bud now I can't connect phone via ABD drivers. I try it via apps and two ways via Commans window.
I'm only in TWRP. I can't get to fastboot, I can't install ROM now, phone reaction is the same as I hold power up+vol up button.
I need one of two ways... 1,get phone connected with PC via fastboot to flash new kernel, boot.img and at least your ROM
2,get phone connected with PC via mass storage, to get some old ROM, flash it and get to fastboot...

Ah apologies, got lost while replying.
Anyways, lets start from basic. Can You try un-installing and installing the fastboot drivers? Because I suspect that's why You are not able to enter into fastboot mode.

Just a sec, what combination do You use to go into bootloader? Power up+volume up? That is not what Yo do, You disconnect the phone from cable, and then turn off the phone. Then just press volume up, and connect the phone. No other button is needed to be pressed.

So You can't even go into bootloader now? That's weird and also makes this a bit complicated! Because You need to be able to go into bootloader mode to flash a new kernel which has recovery. Hope You are pressing only volume while connecting phone to PC. Drivers are fine as You were able to flash a kernel earlier. Which Kernel did You flash first? If You are able to go into bootloader, then flash this kernel via fastboot mode.

yes it can be fixed it, you just need to flash boot.img from latest cm12.zip just download it, if you already have it you just need to extract it with winrar and flash that kernel using flashtool in fastboot mode. first connect your phone in fastboot mode to your pc and open flashtool after that open the lightning icon and select fastboot mode, after that choose select kernel to flash and choose that boot.img from cm12. and wait it until finished. after that copy cm12.zip to your external storage and insert again your memory card to your phone and turn it on.
after sony logo is up hit vol up button until led is change from pink to blue and you will enter to cmrecovery. after that install cm12 file from that recovery after that do a wipe data and restart your device.
