Go in xParts thread here on XDA and download older version (v5), if it boots then (older CWM) try to update to v7 via Play Store and install CWM 5.5.0.4 again.

Go to theme/app section look for post about recovery by pvypart and download v5 install app then install cwm.
Then update app via play store to v7.
Look in sd card for xparts folder then move the recovery.tar to system/bin setting the right permissions check other files in folder for this.
Then you will get a working v7 xparts recovery.

Xperia arc CWM problem?

Guys please help me, I updated to 587 via SUS. Rooted with method lt18kernel/doomlord root kit/lt15 587kernel. Then loaded x-parts v7.. I had problems loading zip package. I removed x-parts and loaded RecoverX for 4.0.. Same problem! I need a fully working version of CWM for Xperia arc !

I think you'll have to reflash the ftf

I think that this is the easy way!!

No need to reinstall ftf.
Just do as mentioned in previous post download v5 cwm from thread, then update app via the play store to v7( xparts) once updated look for the folder xparts on sd card ( use root explorer) then open that folder you will see file called recovery.tar move this file to system/bin setting permissions like this
Top row all checked
Middle just left and right checked( leave middle unchecked)
Bottom left and right checked( leave middle unchecked)
Restart phone and you will have working v7 cwm.
Hope this helps and is clear

How do I use CWM to partition SD card?

First off there is no "CWM" app in the app store. Is it actually called x-parts? Where do I get it from?

Yes It's Called X-Part you can downloaded from the playstore and flash CWM and after that reboot into recovery and you can do SD card partietion

What do you mean "flash" CWM? You mean click the "Install CWM" from the X-Part app? I've got the Lt15i I'm not sure if it works for it.

What safe Mode ????
You download X-part installed CWM and rebooted in recovery mode.
Go to advance and there you will find Sd card partition.
Good Luck I hope you Know what you are doing

That's what it says on the screen, safe mode. How do you boot into recovery mode?

If you partition your sdcard your data into sdcard will lost. Try to backup sdcard first

Thanks I actually got it to work, I wasn't making the second partition primary. But still how do I boot in to "recovery mode"? I hold down the volume lower button when I turn on my phone and nothing happens.

It is the back button as soon as you see the Sony logo start pressing if this fails you need to move the recovery.tar to system/bin setting permission like this

Use root explorer to move file and set pemissions.

When sony logo appear, press volume down continously until you entered to recovery mode.
I never using x-part, i always did it with custom kernel. But maybe that is same way.
Sorry for my bad english

SOLVED[Q] Superuser Not Working On CM11 beta1 (root Problem) HELP..

In Setting>>Superuser>>"There are currently no Superuser app policies."
about a month ago all root required apps is working correctly. when i open any root required app its ask me for superuser permissions.
But now any root required app is not working its says your device is not rooted.
plz help me how to root my device?
i have installed CM11 beta 1 ROM on Xperia M Dual..
SOLVED
Boot your phone into recovery and install this zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/382/Sup...erSU-v1.93.zip
after installing the zip
i open root checker app and it stuck on saying ''çhecking if device is rooted''
and then i clear chache of superuser from mannage application
then reboot
now all is welL....

First of all... what changes did you make before you lost your root?
P.S.
I find the best way to root my XM is to boot into CWM.... flash any zip and then use the 'reboot to system' option...
the process will ask you wether to install su in your device.. tap yes.. n VOLLA... your device has full root...:good: :good:

You don't need to install Superuser app as CM11 is already rooted, Uninstall it and install Busybox and then try.

yes i know it is not necessary to install SU on CM11 but my root is not working properly, thats why i install SU from playstore.
and as you said i uninstall the SU app and when i install Busybox it says ''plz root you device''

Try framaroot.... Worked well with the stock...
P.S. use only the Gandalf exploit...

If you don't want to lose your data... You could perform a dirty flash...
I don't recommend it very much... Try it at your own risk....

hey buddy realy thanx for the help
but i cant reflash cm...
i have to root my device first anyway..

Or there is one more thing that may work.....
First unroot the device using framaroot.... Check the root status using root checker app
Second reboot your device.....
Reroot again using framaroot......
This would help only if the su file in the system folder is corrupted

[SOLVED]Is there a compatible Directory binder for Xperia M(Android.4.3)

Hi, Is there a compatible directory binder for Android 4.3?, I'm trying to move obb game files to external sd card using directory binder from Lucky Patcher 4.3.5 but it does not work. My phone is rooted i rooted it using Towelroot, I also tried to use Folder mount and GL to SD but no luck. Directory binder from lucky patcher works perfectly when my phone is still on 4.1.2. Is there anyway to move obb files to external sdcard?
.
Please help

GL2SD Works absolutely great for me I guess the problem persists for you only. Try moving via File Manager and then GL2SD? It worked for me once never tried since then!

No, you need to unlock your bootloader before you can use cwm/twrp and custom ROMs/Kernels. For the reboot fix for towelroot I read something in a thread in general section.
And Im using linking from Android Tuner, Im on 4.1 but should work on 4.3 (not tested)
Sent from my Sony Xperia M C1905 via tapatalk

Root with Towelroot, then install SuperSU, then install busybox, then connect your phone to pc, run this script and follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53490030&postcount=27

Ok now folder mount works after i applied reboot fix :laugh: :good:

please read other thread, try this, no need for installing mounter apps :laugh:
