[Q] Recovery for Xperia SL ( CWM or TWRP) ? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi Everybody !
I have sony xperia SL (LT26ii) !
Which recovery tool may be suitable for this handset? I think TWRP is more versatile and user friendly than CWM? And I just want to install TWRP without unlocking bootloader? Is it posible?

You cannot install TWRP on locked bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38681130&postcount=9
Wrong section.

What about 4ext?

OK, if so what about 4EXT? Can i install that recovery tool without unlocking bootloader?

Why not try this CWM for locked bootloader?

flash this kernel in fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280&highlight=advanced+stock+kernel
You should have root and cwm installed automatically.

[Q] Bootloader, Root, Recovery and new ROM [doubts]

Hi everyone!
I've had an Xperia s for a few mounths and now I want to mod it.
I've read so many guides, but now Im so confused.
- Is essential to unlock the bootloader? Which are the advantages and the disadvantage of unlocking of the bootloader? I've read that it deletes the Bravia Engine... Is it true?
-In the past, with other smartphones, I used to install new ROM by CWM, but in a tutorial the cyanogenmod is flashed by using flashtool...
What do I have to do?
And what about kernel?
Thanks! (Sorry for my bad english )

Not true about Bravia Engine. And the advantage of having an unlocked bootloader, well for one you can install custom ROM's.

I recommend DooMLoRD's ROM and kernel, also CWMR.

Yes, download this kernel : S_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-211_v1 and flash it with Flashtool.
But before you should read the forums and see what type of ''everything'' works for your phone and only then try to execute all of the above.

thanks! First of all I've to learn how to use flashtool...
By the way, I was reading the official Sony's porcodio guide, but I didn't find the Android Boot loader Interface-file in the usb driver folder...
So I stopped to follow it...

[Q] CWM recovery for Xperia M locked bootloader ?

Hi, guys thanks to xda I was able to root my phone now I can't seem find a working CWM recovery file to flash it in my device. I've not unlocked my bootloader though so please help me flash cwm recovery on my c1904 15.4.A.1.9 firmware locked bootloader thanks in advance.
Sorry, but it's impossible to install cwm if your phones bootloader is locked.

i did flash a cwm recovery for my device using flashify.But it just simply reboots it doesn't go to recovery mod. & please do something.
On Stock 4.1 i heared about a CWM for locked bl, but never tried it. But on 4.3 it isnt working. Look for the thread in general section.
But a "normal" CWM on locked bl isnt possible, as the bootloader only loads a kernel from Sony, and to boot into cwm on our device we need to detect an event to extract the cwm ramdisk instead of the nornal ramdisk, which is only possible with a modified kernel, which requires an unlocked bl to get loaded.
