If you are on unlocked bootloader, you can use twrp recovery (have touchscreen recovery)
If you are on locked bootloader, it could be hard. You can make backup with app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup but restoring will be problem. Have you tried power button or X on gamepad is working as home button?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840 or unlock your boot loader.
Download from the link v5 (v7 dies not install properly)and install app, then open app and install cwm into system.
To enter recovery press the back key when you see Sony logo, it might be vol button or just try every button until you find which works on your phone

How to boot in recovery mode?

Hi,
I want to install the next rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448552
through recovery mode.
But how do i come in the recovery mode on my SE Arc S?
--
I had already tried with ROM Manager but then nothing happens, only the phone is rebooted, and does not start in recovery mode.
--
Thanks!
Install the x-parts app and through the app install recovery.
To boot into recovery, turn on your phone and in the Sony Ericsson splash screen (not the boot animation, the first screen) and when the LED indicator turns blue, press volume down, then you'll be in recovery.
Next time you post a question use the Q&A forums.

installing cwm recovery using cwm autoinstaller apk but my phone does not reboot into recovery.i have tried pressing every key volume rockers,back key,mrnu key but nothings happen.pls help.
Propably you'll need to have kernel with recovery inside so you'll have to unlock bootloader.

Factory reset shouldn't do any harm. It's just going to delete all your data on phone and restore default settings. Anyway, if you would eventually have some problem, you will be able to fix it with Flashtool.

You want to install cm10.1? You must use custom kernel with it... They have cwm version built in... You don't have to install cwm...

[Q] Cant enter recovery

Hello!
Just unlocket my bootloader with freegee. I have the E975 device with v10d. I have chosen the CWM touch. But i could not enter. It just entered fastboot. Then tried again with freegee but this time i picked the other one. Version 2.5. Still just enters fastboot.
I searched the threads, Only hits i got was some failure about the boot. Not the same problem i have.
hi. when youre in fastboot mode press vol down i think twice then power and you should boot into recovery or vol upp twice dont remember if it is up or down twice

THANK YOU! I couldn't enter recovery after some nasty bootloop. You helped a lot! It was power+volume_up to get to fastboot, then tap volume_up twice then tap power and done!

Bricked ?

OK so I have a xperia ion Lt28at
It is rooted with CWM recovery installed.
I tried installing a ROM via CMW recovery
Phone shows Sony logo then after a black screen.
It does it over and over.
I tried tapping the Sony logo to get into recovery. But its not working. ?
What do I do ? Lol
I did make a backup before this.

Turn on the phone, remove finger from power button, and continuously tap the volume up button. If you have CWM then it should boot.

You can use the kernel from Android Original Dev Section, But before that, you need to Backup your TA Partition and then Unlock the bootloader if you wish to have a custom kernel and/or a recovery..

You need to unlock your bootloader to access recovery mode, if your device isn't unlocked then you can't access your recovery .
