[Q] How to boot to recovery?

Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom

Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

You have to turn the phone on, when you see the first image of the android on the screen keep tapping the back button, you will get in trust me I had the same problem

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine

OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

Did you try everything from this thread?
eg. Pushing back/wolume button (or maybe other) when the led lights.
If yes. Try get to it using command or reflash boot.img

Are you rooted?
If not, do you know how to do that?

No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.

To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm

WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.

That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it

Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

HELP! I think I messed up :( CM10 Nightly

Ok, So I went back to Gingerbread because I wanted to do a "clean install" rerooted my phone and decided to try out the latest (20130103) Nightly CM10.
I flashed the rom first, because im an idiot noob.
ended up flashing to JediX which I already had on my phone so i could get back to download mode.
Downloaded the Radio and Gapps.
Followed the wiping procedure on the TeamChopsticks site
When I rebooted I got the Blue CM circle, its been going on for 20 mins.
What do I do to get this working?
I am ashamed. :cyclops:

what you should try to do is to into recovery mode
then factory wipe also wipe dalvik cache
after that flash your radio first
then flash your rom
then flash the gapps
after that reboot and it should take a while the first time
if it freezes try taking out the battery and reboot it again

Have you tried twrp recovery? With that one you don't have to worry about using the darkside scripts. Just full wipe and flash the rom. If you have root, the goomanager app can install it for you.

If you have root access, the easiest way is to download an app called goomanager beta from the play store and install it from there. Open the app, press the menu button and hit "install open recovery script".

[Q] Cant Flash Jelly Bean ROMS anymore [SOLVED]

hi..i have been trying out different ROMS and have been successfull at doing it.
when i first rooted my phone i flashed PACman v15, used it for a while and then kept flashing different ROMs
I then flashed [ROM-PrimoU|GSM] [18.3.13] myONEv RC9.5 FX+ (Sense 4.1 Lite), which also booted correctly..
i then decided to flash another jelly bean ROM. however none of the ROMs available are able to boot.
I also flashed the appropriate kernel, wiped everything, nothing works.. kept getting boot loops.
so nw m back to [ROM-PrimoU|GSM] [18.3.13] myONEv RC9.5 FX+ (Sense 4.1 Lite) this ROM.
could anyboody tell me what i could be doing wrong?

1) took backup in twrp
2) wiped everything
3) flashed ROM in sd card
(step 3 and 4 were also interchanged cause i read somewhere, looking for solutions to this, that u need to flash kernel first then ROM )
4) rebooted into bootloader -flashed appropriate kernel
5) reboot system.
6) bootloop occured!

Seriously have no clue!!

dont know why but i think that it has something to do with recovery ..coz i also change roms frequently.. currently running evervolv and it booted without any problem i flashed the kernel mentioned in the op then the rom...(after wiping everything cache,data,dalvik cache through cwm)
and it was a success..

I don't know if it will create any problem or not. But i had once issue like that.
I installed PimpMyRom and did some tweaks. After that i rebooted my phone and at that time my device gets soft bricked.
So i just thought it might be that issue.
Just try reflashing rescue package if u have downloaded it.
And if you are sure that u have not done any tweaks then its ok.
But the thing is that you are having a strange problem, so its worth a try.

[Q] How to enter Recovery Mode on Ion

Hey, I have a friend with a Sony Xperia Ion (as identified by my computer) she's locked out of it; someone else tried to figure out her pattern and entered it more than 20 times. As far as I know, she doesn't know her secret question or her google account information, either.
My plan to try to bypass the pattern lock is to use AROMA file manager to delete the gesture.key file in /data/system, hopefully that'll remove the pattern lock. So here are my questions:
How can I mount the filesystem on USB to transfer AROMA to her SD?
How can I get into recovery mode to flash AROMA?
The second one is what I really don't get. How does recovery mode work on the Xperia Ion? I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery. Everything I've tried (Hold volume up/volume down/both while powering on) still causes the phone to boot normally.

Did you flash recovery before? If yes you may have to rap SONY logo 5-6 times while booting to get in to recovery or press volume + button 5-6 times while booting. Remember Sony phones do not have stock recovery. You have to flash custom recovery.
And I know another way to remove lock code. Just flash stock ftf. But are you going to loose all the apps.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Thanks!!! I didn't realize sony phones lacked a stock recovery. I don't want to flash stock ftf becuase I want to preserve apps if at all possible. Can you recommend a custom recovery to flash?

What recovery and verision of it are you using? for 4.3+ roms you need CWM 6.0.3.7+ or TWRP 2.6.1.0

I´m also having this problem. I can't flash any ROM. I went back to stock and tried again with those versions of recovery but nothing.
