I installed xElite gamer ROM but now i cant enter recovery. Tried using auto cwm installer and it tells that cwm is installed but cant boot into recovery.
Is there any other way of entering recovery except vol button and into recovery reboot?

I don't think this can be done with a locked bootloader.
Is your bootloader unlockable?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No. I cant unlock it any day soon

You should not give advice like this without reading the post.. He said he had a locked bootloader if he followed your comments he would have probably bricked his phone:crying:
With a locked bootloader this would not brick your phone it would not install I tried this when I had a locked bootloader and my it said on my computer I needed a unlocked bootloader and left the phone stock it wouldn't of bricked it

So I am about to root my phone but first I have to flash the r800at to the older .270 update. Do I have to worry about breaking anything? Also once it is rooted what are some things I can do or add to my phone?
Bump. Can someone let me know if there is anything I need to do or be aware of?
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a new kernel. Only with root you can install some custom roms
There is allways a chance to damage your phone when you flash something, but if you follow carefully the flash steps you have a high chance to root your phone without any problem

Yes I do have a locked bootloader. So instead should I flash a custon kernal then root? I was looking into doomkernel and that looks nice. Does it have some instructions for installing it safely? Also is that the best one for the AT&T version of this phone?
You MUST have a unlocked bootloader to flash a new kernel or you'll brick your phone
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Oh my bad. So is really the only thing I can do is flash the .270 version and just rooting?
Yes. If you want to change the rom with a locked bootloader you need root acces

Do you recommend any good roms?

Hi everyone,
I am new to flashing and rooting. I have rooted my Xperia S using bin4ry method (locked bootloader). I found CWM for locked bootloaders which use a .bat file to flash CWM.
I always get a bootloop by using that CWM. I got bootloop once, then I restored using flashtool. I gave a second try and I got bootloop again!!!! I got extremely annoyed. I was trying to install a flashable zip mod of Xperia T small apps.
I have wiped dalvik cache before every time I flashed. No luck.
Can anybody help me out?
Maybe the mod isn't for your system Version?

I m running 6.1.a.2.50. Where is it possible to get a bugless CWM?

I don't know. CWM for locked bootloader hasn't been updated for a good time.

How do other people with locked bootloader use CWM?

Don't worry, framework-res was the problem, not cwm.

I flashed from recovery a zip, install from sdcard. It does not work, so how can I remove it from my phone?
SONY XPERIA S rooted unlocked bootloader JB .211
If flashing through CWM failed or not working,nothing is applied to your phone,as far as I remember...

It only does such if your bootloader is unlocked right?

I think, not sure, that it used to at Xperia X10 and Arc times. With S and beyond, I've been told it don't cause any problems anymore...
