I already have root using DoomLord one click method on stock ICS on my Arc S. I now need CWM. Is there any way to get CWM on there without installing a full ICS mod and without losing my existing setup?

flash this kernel.it's official with cwm preinstalled.
If your phone is rooted you can install CWM with flash tool.

It works on ICS but you'll need a patch to fix offline charging.

Hi, i recently upgraded my arc LT15i to an arc s LT18i with ICS, all is working well with no problems. I want to install cwm recovery onto my phone as i want to flash more mods. After looking around i see you need cwm recovery in case it all goes wrong. I have installed rom manger from the market place but when i try to flash cwm recovery it asks if i have installed a cwm based recovery manually ( i haven't) i select no and it tells me that until cwm recovery is available, rom manager will not work with LT18i. Can anyone help or advise. I am fairly new to this flashing business so simple terms please.
Thanks
Phil

I have just reflashed ics firmwire to start with a fresh phnoe, i did have the status bar mod with wifi, blutooth, reboot etc but now can't seem to find the software and how to install it, can anyone help.
I'm going mad here, i can't get the se tweak onto my phone, ive been checking other threads for mods and they say to flash in cwm recovery mode but i can't install that either. I'm going round in circles. Can anyone help.

Sorry, but that says it's all about Gingerbread, not ICS. Or does it work also on ICS? I'm upgrading this afternoon, probably, so I would like to know how can I get the CWM with my locked bootloader....

I installed xperia cwm auto installer from market place. Works a treat on lt18i. I've got back ups now and its easy to use. Highly recommended app!!!

xperia cwm auto installer works on 4.0.4
make this
[HOW-TO] CWM on ICS
To have CWM on phone,
For locked bootloader, use Xperia Auto Installer. Can be download at market.
For unlocked bootloader, flash custom kernel with CWM like Stock ICS kernel with CWM, ArcKnight and Doomkernel.
You can search custom kernel here

why so difficult? use the cwm installer kit from doomlord works also on ICS 4.0.4

It was designed for 2,3,4
But it works fine on ics. bare in mind that my app installs cwm into the system recovery. And if you have an unlocked.bootloader your better off getting a kernel with cwm. Or getting the stock kernel with cwm put in to the ramdisk
Oh one note the app will break offline charging. I have a fix.in my thread for it tho and as soon as my pc will compile.apps again I'll release a new version on the market.

its not a touch cwm..
why there is no cwm in touch for XS ///
XP has it....?
I couldn't find any threads that are helpful to me.. so i had to post a new one.
I have a Xperia arc with lock bootloader. I flashed the lt18i 4.1.B.0.587 one day and installed Xperia Ultimate HD. I decided to go back to stock rom because UHD didn't have the features I expected.. so i flashed the lt18i ftf again via flashtool.i rooted it and installed CWM. Everything works fine.
Then i tried to restore a backup that was made before i flashed lt18i firmware.( my phone was on lt15i 0.587 stock rom at that time)
I tried to restore it on LT18i firmware to have more free space and it actually succeeded. But when i reboot it to homescreen it's just keep saying "keypad force close". i thought it was because the backup was based on lt15i firmware and it's not compatible with 18i firmware...
so i flashed lt15i .587 firmware but i exclude system because i still wanted to have 420MB space and i thought i should do it in this way ( i didn't know if it works or not) unfortunately, i was wrong and the phone stuck on sony logo.
the story hasn't ended. I flashed the LT15i .587 firmware again and this time the phone booted successfully. I rooted and install CWM as i did before.. i rebooted my phone and when sony logo appeared i kept on pressing volume down key but it couldn't get into CWM and was stuck on sony logo.I had to pull out the battery . After that i booted my phone again without trying to get into CWM and it succeeded. So basically everything works fine except stuck on sony logo when i try to boot in CWM.
I need CWM for installing good mods and backup and all kinds of stuff but i couldn't work it out and couldn't find a thread about it. I don't wanna unlock bootloader as well. Please help !!
p.s sorry for bad English and the story seems too long and a bit confusing... i just wanna make it more detailed...
Dude, at the aame time youre flashing kernel. Thats the issue. Just flash lt18 ftf and stick with it. It should work fine. Dont revert back to a lt15 backup, because of kernel incompability.

Your only option is Flashtool if SUS does not work...
Flash the ftf file again, wipe everything and tick the "no final verification" checkbox.

This is really a strange problem indeed! I had the same issue on LB! But mine dint go to CWM and booted directly into device! I tried all sorts of solutions but in vain! At last, I just flashed entirely from the beginning.
1. FTF (Format everything)
2. Root
3. Recovery
And everything is still fine after that!
Whatever you encounter when flashing custom Rom or mods
Go to flashtool and flash back the stock firmware and root and install again .
It always effective

That's exactly what i've done.
I flash the LT18i 4.1.B.0.587 ftf( entire rom) and rooted my phone with E-root, install CWM with cmd... and it works fine if i don't try to boot into CWM. But if i press the volume down button repeatedly when sony logo appears, blue light turns on...the screen gets brighter, and then blue light disappears, and just stuck on it.

i did. x-part didn't work. recoveryx didn't.
About root, i tried to use the method which downgrade the kernel first and then upgrade it later. It worked. But still no CWM.
I have been on this rom for a while:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267230 and everything was working fine, but now i wanted to change to this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648304 But now my problem is that I flash provided kernel from this new rom and when i boot to recovery it is not showing anything. There aren't any options to wipe, nothing... at the bottom left it just say cvm recovery and a number and that's it. Can you help me? Did i do something wrong?
If you waited too long and cwm still did not show, you should try this:
reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
