Can't install CWM Recovery?! - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I've been trying to install CWM Recovery on my Play but nothing seems to install it.
I've tried both xParts and RecoveryX but either seem to have installed it.
I have rooted (locked bootloader) and installed busybox.
Could someone please advice on how I should try to install.
Thanks
Resolved! - I deleted some stuff to make room and voila, CWM!

Any error message?

Did u try cwm installer on the play store??
Regards,
Sdojoin

@jarbox There hasn't been any errors at all during installing, I've tried xparts several times
@sdojoin Which app do you mean?

Probably he is talking about this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
Do you have checked the internal memory requirements, maybe in the /system partition?

Installation was unsuccessful

So I rooted and flashed my phone with a pre-rooted version of stock 2.2, installed a power saving mod and enabled move any app to sd (adb), installed loads of apps and it worked fine.
I've just gone to install a new app from the market and I can't get it to work. Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks
What app? Did you try clearing market cache and data? Tried rebooting your phone? If not, read and search first, post later.

I had the same problem, first time it say installation unsuccessful, second time it is successful..I think is a problem with the market, google doing some update on it..
I searched and tried some suggestions there. Formatting SD etc. Reflashed the rom and it seems fine now.

Unable to install busybox

I'm in the middle of trying to get things setup so I can try out the arm version of Bt5. Running stock rom, 2.3.4, using busybox installer downloaded from the market. Tried a few versions of busybox and the best I get is a restart. My suspicions are that it can't write to that part of the nand even with root unless I'm in recovery or something close to that. Anyone who has had this problem in the past care to shed some light on the subject?

Are you s-off? Do you have superuser installed and functioning? Which busybox installer are you using, stericsons or jrummys? Does it install fine and then crash when accessing it or will it not even install? Does it give any certain error messages?
Try this from the V6 OP.

Flashable zip of newest busybox.
Backup first, just in case.
Thanks to wraithdu and zep.

Superuser is installed and running, was trying jrummy, the app installs and loads. Busybox does not install at all and I was getting no errors, it would force the dinc to restart.

Worth a try, cant hurt anything.
Have busybox installed but still can not load Bt5. I'm going to try some screen shots and see if that might give some better ideas as to what the issue might be.

im on the one rom manager installs 6.0.1.2, and its the at&t sg3. i don't usually like to use rom manager but i couldn't get the recovery to install using terminal commands.
You may wanna try team win recovery.
Uninstall ROM manager and install goo manager. Then you open it, hit menu key and install recovery script. Reboot in recovery and try

You need to uninstall SuperSU if you were rooted before installing cyanogenmod, as CM comes with another superuser app... SO go into your apps find superSU and uninstall it

You lose installed apps, settings that you set when you started the phone, WiFi, wallpaper, texts/phone log, contacts
If you pick to back up to Google when you first set up the rom you can restore all the above apart from texts and call logs.

Lupus should install SU (the executable needed by SuperUser or SuperSu) itself, so you should just try downloading SuperSU and then relaunching Titanium
