hello
So basicly : 1 - Flash Any Stock Rom Using FlashTools.
2 - Flash your favorite kernel.
3 - Enter Recovery, Clear Cache and Davilk Cache.
4 - Download Gin2JellyBean Rom And Flash it in Recovery.
5 - Reboot and play for a while.
6 - Reboot a second time and Enjoy!
What do they mean by flash any stock rom using flash tools? I have the lupus CM9 kernel. I tried installing the fin2jellybean rom multiple times and it didnt work. I tried also with google apps. When I reboot my phone goes inmediatly in bootloader mode. ( Or I think its bootloader mode )
thanks in advance

U will need to flash the vendor ftf. To unlock the partitions. I can't link u to it rite now but a Google search and you will find it on xda.
U are using the wrong kernel also a CM9 kernel will only work on cm9 based ROMs not on GB for that u can use this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536 . Then wipe system, data,cache and dalvik cache then flash the ROM.zip.

1. Flash Any firmware (ftf) Using FlashTools (flashboot mode). Check firmwares here
2 - Flash your favorite kernel that match your rom, from flashtool in fastboot mode (gb kernel for bg rom, ics kernel for ics rom, cm9 kernel for cm9 based rom), Check kernel versions here
3 - Enter Recovery (with button back/volume down - depending wich kernel you flashed) Clear Cache and Davilk Cache, data and system partition.
4 - Download Gin2JellyBean Rom, put it in your sd card) And Flash it in Recovery (option: install zip from sdcard)
5 - Reboot and play for a while.
6 - Reboot a second time and Enjoy!
7 - Reboot a third time just for the sake of rebooting :victory:

No need to root it. U can still flash kernel. Most ROMs are pre rooted such as the one you want to flash (Gin2Jellybean).
Flash .79 firmware. Unplug your phone. Hold search button and connect your phone to PC. Press lighting icon and choose fastboot. Choose "select kernel to flash" and choose your kernel. Wait few second and when flashtool report the flashing is done, unplug your phone from PC. With phone in your hands, press power button. Start pressing volume down button repeatedly untill you enter recovery. Wipe system and data, and install (already rooted) Gin2jellybean rom.

Ok Thank you so much all! Its working smoothly now ( restarting second time )
Hi,
I have tried everything I've read so far and I still can't get the phone to boot into recovery.
I flashed the latest Stock ROM using Sony Ericsson 'Emma' flashtool.
Then I rooted using eroot and I have confirmed the root with the app Root Checker.
I installed ROM Manager but it says my device isn't recognised.
Also installed X-Parts and even though that said ClockWorkMod install was successful it still won't boot into recovery.
I have tried holding down various combination of keys whilst powering up but I don't even see a blue light appearing.
Is there any way to get CWM onto my Xperia Arc (LT15i) please?
Thanks for any advice
Flash a kernel that has CWM using fastboot.

Hi popthosegaskets, thanks for replying. How would I go about finding the right kernal and how do I flash the phone if I can't get into recovery please?
I did flash my phone before with CM 9 but I've completely forgotten how to do it.
Thanks again

The kernel will depend on your ROM, so if you're using stock ROM you can flash a stock kernel with CWM on it. LuPuS stock kernel and Advanced stock kernel are two examples of stock kernel that have CWM.
Most custom ROM kernel should have CWM installed. Custom ROM will also come with its kernel so flash that and you should have CWM on your phone.

Hi popthosegaskets, thanks very much for helping me. I was wondering if you could tell me where I'm going wrong trying to install a CM Rom please. I've tried both CM 9 and CM 10 but the former caused the boot screen to flicker and flash and when I tried to install CM 10 I just got an error in CMW saying error in sdcard/cm10.zip (status 7).
The problem stems from me experimenting and putting on the Jellybeanv4 Rom. I found that the Settings button didn't function and overal performance was slow so that is why I'm trying to flash back to a Stable CM Rom.
These are the instructions I followed using flashtool.
1. Download rom, patch and gapps from Downloads and put in SD card
2. Flash Xperia Arc S 4.1.B.1.13 Vodafone DE firmware via flashtool (For increasing system and data memory for Arc user and latest BB) Must
3. Flash included FXP kernel or any CM10 based kernel using fastboot
4. Boot into CWM
5. Wipe factory reset (Data & Cache)
6. Go mounts and storage
7. Format /system
8. Flash rom then patch and at last gapps
9. Reboot
10. After booting 1 time you can flash addons if you want
Is it a problem with a conflict with the Vodafone DE Firmware and CM Rom?
Thanks again for your help and advice
I have same problem...
Same rom and same instalation guide...
Any solution to get in CWM?

Check the official twrp website our device now have official twrp recovery
No problem if it is written GT-I9301I as it works also for GT-I9300I
Then try again

I tried via the official recovery from twrp but with every reboot it just boots to Odin mode.
CM12 now comes with CyanogenMod recovery, which is unusable for now. So here are repacked kernels with TWRP and CWM.
For now, use Recovery-in-FOTA images! This thread probably will not be updated anymore. Also you can use this script.
Download TWRP (for PecanCM's Beta 3, not flashable)
Older versions (CWM included):
for FXP-2015-0115:
1. TWRP
2. CWM
For FXP-2015-0110 build:
1. TWRP (with fixed app2sd)
2. CWM
For PecanCM's 01.03 build:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
3. TWRP 2.8.3.0 (new)
For PecanCM's Beta 2:
1. CWM
2. TWRP
Thanks to:
@osm0sis for Android Image kitchen for Windows (and to @FindYanot and @Bonoboo for discovering it for me).
@JustArchi for compiling TWRP 2.8.3.0 for our device in ArchiDroid 3.0.1.1
Installation:
1. Extract archive to the root of external sdcard and run in terminal emulator su then /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
or in adb adb shell /ext_card/flash_kernel.sh
2. Flash boot.img drom archive via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) or fastbootmode in Flashtool
These are obsolete, but will work though
3. Via adb:
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd (adb push *path*\boot.img /sdcard/ (replace *path* with path to file on your PC))
- adb shell dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
4. Via Terminal emulator (you can download it on Play Store):
- Place boot.img to the root of internal sd
- Enter su and allow superuser access
- Type dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
I want warn, that at least CWM (probably and TWRP) not backup apps moved to sdcard.
Because it "don't know" that they on external sdcard1, not on sdcard0
So manually copy folder .android_secure only on PC via cardreader.
Or using RootExplorer copy all from /mnt/asec/
But restoring will be hard because it must performed before boot.
Hi @cucumber09 , I just wanted to know what are the changes in this kernel and original kernel except the recovery change...
Please tell..!

There are no other changes, I didn't rebuild the kernel, I just repacked it with replacing recovery ramdisk using very simple script.

Is it possible to restore them using AromaFM, or is this folder unmounting when the phone is not booted in system?
A little question
Err @cucumber09 Is this the same overclocked kernel from FindYanot or is this the stock kernel that's not oc? Cuz when i flashed this just now the performance is slower than FindYanot's kernel.

There no any word about overclock in first post.
So it's without overclock = nothing surprising that it's slower than with.
Yeah. You're right. Please don' t think of me as an idiot nor undestimate. I'm 11, but I rooted and unlocked the BL of my C1904 just to get Cm11 in 2012, I was just wondering as he said repacked etc. So i guess i have to TRY other things. Well the kernel's fine. Just that I wanted an oc cwm kernel.
Thanks @ Bonoboo

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------
Well TWRP is great. But I prefer CWM
UPDATED!
Recoveries are updated for new build (press thanks to Bonoboo). Dload links are in the OP.
New TWRP version
Kernel with new version of TWRP (2.8.3.0), wich should be more compatible with Lollipop. Compiled by sir @JustArchi. I didn't test it on LP yet. If someone will test it, let me know is it working as it should. Changelog is here (our previous version is 2.8.0.0).
UPD: I already tested it: recovery works, but I don't know, is there any bugs.
Will this recovery work on 5.0.2 as well??

Thanks for update sir
Update TWRP for FXP build
TWRP updated for FXP-20150110
TWRP version: 2.8.3.0
CWM update for FXP
CWM updated for FXP-20150110.
Happy flashing!
Now we have official TWRP support, so this thread will not be updated anymore. For more info about official TWRP visit this thread.
Tired waiting for someone to repack kernel with your favorite version of recovery? Or tired to run recovery script every time you update your ROM or kernel? Now you don't need any repacked kernels or recovery-scripts. Use your FOTAKernel as recovery partition!
It works on any kernel with extract_elf_ramdisk utility (it's built in mostly all kernels for custom ROMs, but I am not sure) by @Dees_Troy. And don't forget, that you are doing on your own risk, I am not responsible for bricked devices, acid rains or thermonuclear war.
Installation:
Download zip and flash it via your current recovery. If your current recovery is unusable, you can flash it via terminal emulator:
- Extract FOTAKernel.img and place it to the root of your external SD-card
- Type su and grant root access
- Type
Code:
dd if=/ext_card/FOTAKernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
- Reboot to recovery to test if it works (if not, try again and check if you are doing it correctly).
Download:
TWRP 2.8.7.0
TWRP 2.8.6.0 (this and next versions are compiled for Xperia M by me)
Older versions and CWM:
TWRP 2.8.5.0 (port from Xperia L)
TWRP 2.8.4.0 (thanks to @Rohan purohit for bringimg it for Xperia L, I just ported and modded it)
TWRP 2.8.0.0/CWM (or scroll down, it's right below this post)
You can restore original FOTAKernel image by following instructions in this post (or just scroll down, it is 3rd post, lol).
Some info:
Sony Xperia devices don't have recovery partition. Instead of this in custom kernels is used recovery-in-boot conception with two-stage boot (ramdisk-recovery is packed inside main ramdisk). And there is partition called FOTAKernel that is used for installing official FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) updates. After unlocking your bootloader this partition becomes redundant, because you cannot use OTA function anymore. So it may be used for storing recovery ramdisk. And this very useful future was implemented by recognized developer @Dees_Troy (lead TWRP developer), he developed utility extract_elf_ramdisk (it is merged to almost all kernels for Sony devices), it extracts recovery ramdisk from FOTA partition instead of using regular one from boot image. So even after updating or changing your kernel or ROM you don't lose your current recovery! Here is some info from Dees_Troy.
Download
TWRP 2.8.6.0>>>
TWRP 2.8.5.0>>>
TWRP 2.8.4.0>>>
Restoring original image
- You can restore original FOTAKernel flashing it via Flashtool by flashing any firmware (just uncheck everything in "wipe" section and uncheck everything in "exclude" section excluding "FOTA" like in attached screenshot).
- Or install attached zip via recovery or flash FOTAKernel.img from archive as it is written in OP.

I don't know for sure. Download both recoveries, try to flash one that differs from yours and reboot recovery. If it changes, that means it works on CM11 kernel. BTW, even if it doesn't work on CM11, it will work when you will flash CM12 kernel. So you can flash it to be prepared.

No, it needs custom kernel, that includes extract_elf_ramdisk, stock kernel doesn't. BTW, there are CWM-included kernels for all stock ROMs. And TWRP is not available for stock. I can try repacking stock kernel with TWRP, but I doubt it will work.

Ok thx, Not needed just wanna know whether it will work or not
btw, FOTA kernel awesome idea:good:
I try to repack my custom kernel with justarchi twrp version. I can Confirm it doesn't boot to fota recovery. Main boot.img is cm12 first nightly. It always boot to CyanogenMod recovery. Still search for solution...

I read sources of extract_elf_ramdisk utility. And found there something about uncompressed ramdisk size, there is limitation to 8 Mb by default. So, I think, we should reduce ramdisk size by removing unnecessary or redundant files and binaries (must be done very carefully) or to commit change in our kernel.
I'm confused, does it work for locked bootloader?

No way. It even won't work on stock kernel with unlocked BL.

No, it is from earlier build, but also from 4.3. From first 4.3 build, as I remember.

You mean this source code: Dees-Troy
I inspect the twrp, but no found the file that save to be removed. Btw, what commit needed to apply to kernel?

I read these sources. And 49th line defines size of uncompressed ramdisk. But now I am not sure, which one is used in our kernel. I suppose, that newer one.
