Xperia play recovery mode help - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, Been dealing with this the last 2 days, trying to install NXT 1.2 custom rom.
Ive flashed it with custom firmware, etc,
and now, Ive installed x-parts to install CWM, and installs fine, but I just cant get it into recovery mode whatsoever, not auto-recovery or manually by bressing buttons on start up when the blue LED flashes.
I hope someone can help.
Cheers all

install attachment
when booting, continually press the volume down button
press thanx if it worked.

go here and download recoverx

Much like this post says. I was someone with the same problem and stumbled across this thread. The first method of CWMInstaller +volume down worked for me. The 2nd method with RecoverX installed fine but couldn't get it to boot into recovery.

Most likely a stupid question, but how will future updates to this beta be handled? Is there an updater within the recovery itself?

No there is not a updater within the recovery itself. The updated versions of the beta will be updated through following him on Twitter / Google+.
I'll do my best to update the OP when these updates are available though
But since this is a official Clockwork Recovery update than the previous touch-enabled version (it was unofficial). I'm sure once it hits stable, it will be available in ROM Manager (Koush's app for updating ROMs / recoveries).
flashed to my g-nexus all looking good, seems to work well now to get something to flash!
Thanks for posting. It works great

just flash a new kernel, or just flash the same kernel over lol
just put it on my phone, works awesome =D
put it into the same DIR as fastboot, boot your phone into the bootloader, and then type
fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img
This is awesome! Man using the volume buttons was annoying!
So just flashed this. A few questions. How exactly is this supposed to work? Scrolling up and down seems independent of location, but when I try and tap to select, nothing happens and I end up selecting the wrong menu. Where am I trying to tap to advance in a menu @[email protected] I never thought going through menus could be so confusing. I must be in awe of the touch of the recovery or something, hopefully someone can explain it a little clearer so I understand @[email protected] I feel retarded.

Oh I know, I thought it was just me having these errors though. You too are having some problems in mis-selecting things and the such?
I didn't install it because looking at the video it looked a nit touchy, I'm one of those people that try and wait it out a bit and see peoples reactions to it
this ain't bad, but i still prefer the other CWM modded by some other guy. the on-screen buttons, gestures, Roboto font, and battery % are kind of hard to step away from. but cant wait for updates to the official CWM
Is there a way to flash this without using another computer to flash it via fastboot?

Ditto.
If only he'd add a tap gesture for select, it would be perfect. I'm just fine with the way it is, though.
Koush -- Android God that he is -- has some work to do before the "official" CWM can compete.

The *unofficial* touch CWM, its been out for a while. even though it is still in beta (for couple weeks now), i think its perfect. If Koush adds gestures to this I will switch right away, cuz that is the best part.

It's on ROM Manager, I believe you have to pay $1.99 to flash it. That's the only alternative.

[Q] Need help please

I've just put the new 2.3.2 ROM on my HTC Incredible and now when it boots up it goes to a black screen and vibrates 5 times. I can get into recovery but anything I select all I get is the Clockwork Mod Hat logo. So I plugged in the USB into my PC and tried it again and I'm able to see the Clockwork Mod menu but now I cannot mount my SD Card to do a restore. I've removed the SD Card and verified it is accessible and has data still on it. I'm stuck....
Lyghtnin
what 2.3.2 ROM are you talking about?
---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------
And I'm sorry but I have to ask, are you using the trackball to select in CWM?

Noob here, I cant figure out why I can't turn on my wifi. Ive had this problem before and usually I would just reflash and reboot. But this time no dice... I've searched for an answer or a thread that relates to a problem like this but nothing I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Not really... Some ROMs actually restore your wallpaper when you sign in to Play Store. My old Sony Xperia did it every time I reflashed.
that home launcher is niceeeeee, has some cool widgets too. i'm impressed.

so they removed the option to display battery % but kept that stupid ATT logo in the nav bar. derpers.
edit, oh thereit is , in power saver settings.........
@scott0,
I think Google restores your background from the backup it keeps.
rom working awesomely and mhl working just as great =D i'm one happy camper
Still getting stuck on the LG logo on bootup after flashing the rom. I wiped data, caches, from within CWM. It just won't boot. Unsure what I am doing wrong here. The instructions are pretty simple.
Been using this for about 10 mins. This thing is incredibly smooth!!!!!!
I just tried the oldway of flashing this.. Being I am stuck in CWM on my phone from yesterday.
Downloaded and than pasted on SD card put it back in the phone pulled the batery. Then I flashed it twice, rebooted and still in CWM yet it said installed on the bottom of the screen I got the Install Completed.
I have NO clue what is up ... Can't return it wih CMW sitting on it for sure...

Did you do a full wipe before flashing? And are you using a compatible recovery?

Do i need to delete my old recovery ( clockwork mod) or do anything to that recovery before flashing this one?
Your best bet is to flash that mod twrp. If it fails,I suggest u flash that ruu

What I mean is...flash that recovery then reflash your ROM. If u still get reboots, just flash that ruu...I don't think a certain recovery will interfere with flashing an ruu

can someone help me i cant boot into recovery, and apps are still FCing.
Symptoms:
-Unable to boot into recovery/bootloader
-Force closes system app or installed apps
-Stored settings changes on reboots
-Random reboots while phone is idle
-Constant reboots while restarting it and doesn't know when it will boot normally.
All above mention symptoms are related to HARDWARE FAILURE! Bare in mind that not all of them you'll see it on your device. But any of one you face,will might probably having chance of hardware failure.
You or here on xda users can't resolve your issue. So don't try anything from now on wards. Use it as is. Or sell it and move to another device.
Unless you have some local cheap repair shops where they might evaluate the issue then fix it that way,rather than calling into HTC service center.
And i forgot to mention, you probably have question in mind, How i know? My device is dying too. It reboots constantly before it boots normally,though it works fine. So symptom may vary device to device but cause is the same.
