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.

Stuck on Sony Logo (help please)

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.

You get into recovery by pressing the volume button repeatedly when the boot logo shows.

I had exactly the same problem with this rom but with stock .587 fw on locked bl. Installed it using method for installing Ultimate HD rom (Wipe Data/Factory Reset; Mounts and Storage --> Format /System; Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats; Install zip from SD card) and it worked fine.

[Q] Can't boot into CWM recovery X-parts

Hey guys, I'm looking to install a custom kernal and roms, but am having trouble booting into recovery. i am on a r800x rooted with unlocked bootloader. i used X-parts to install CWM, which said it was successful, but when i choose the option to reboot into recovery it just won't do it. Any help would be much appreciated!

First what version did you use to install it... If you used the latest then try to use version 5 or below... Also when you try to go into recovery use the reboot option in the power menu. Don't forget to hit the volume down when you see the blue light while on the kernel logo.

[Q] Xperia S CWM black screen

Hi,
I have a Xperia S and have unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I then used RecoverX to put CWM on. Then when I try to boot in to recovery (tapping sony logo as it boots), the screen goes black and nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas?
Note that if I don't tap to go in to recovery the phone boots fine.
Cheers,
Iain

i think u must install custom kernel with CWM recovery or TWRP to get into recovery mode....

Go to flash boot and reflash kernel either TWRP or CWM. This should resolve the issue.

So if I flash a new kernel I can load in to that and then use it to load any ROM? Can you recomend a particular kernel? I've looked at some of the ones linked from the roll up and it's all a bit confusing to me - they all seem to say they are only for this rom or that rom.

Try doomkernel....http://d-h.st/qE0

Must be a problem with the recovery.. use sony emma flashtool to flash Advanced stock kernel for your firmware... check if your firmware is .200 or .211 or .96.. go to this link to download kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302393
check your firmware and download the appropriate kernel.. and flash via flashtool.. in fastboot mode.. and after flashing.. reboot and an amber light will show up on your notification light, then press volume + several times to enter CWM.. (just follow the steps in the link)
Good Luck..!! :fingers-crossed:
Hit thanks if I helped..

[Q] Atomic GB Not Booting Help!

Hi,
I tried using CWM to flash Atomic GB to my Xperia Play 800x, and when it gets to the loading screen, the logo thing just spins. It does not work. I tried getting back in the recovery system to restore my phone to my backup, but when I take the battery out, and turn it back on, it won't boot into recovery. I'm pressing the vol down button, but it won't boot to recovery. What do I do? Please help.
Thank you.

Got It

Forgot that I could use flash boot to reflash stock firmware. So I was able to start over. Whew...
