Hi guys! I installed CWM recovery on my xperia ion and took a backup of my original ROM. After installing the first CM11 ROM, CWM got replaced with TWRP. Now, I want my original ROM back but I can't boot into CWM recovery. I tried searching, but couldn't find the relevant threads. Please help!!!!.........

Hi to all. I wanted to ask if you can help me telling me more about this (taken from TEAM stock topic):
HOW TO INSTALL:
HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY BEFORE STARTING!
You must also me on a 2.3.4 Stock Firmware
NO DATA WILL BE WIPED DURING INSTALLATION!
1. Boot into Recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP ( This is really IMPORTANT, as we can't recover your data! If the fan gets soiled )
2. Flash the "TEAM_ROM.zip" via Recovery.
I've unlocked bootloader. Apologize for my bad english i'm italian
Do you have a custom kernel or clockwork mod recovery installed?

The TWRP won't recognize Your backups as they were created in CWM. Flash the DoomKernel from here and You will get CWM back. Then restore Your CWM backup.
another question, should i flash this as fast boot or just flash mode?
ohh i figured it out! thanks
I recently installed CWM after unlocking my bootloader. But realized after that every ROM requires different recovery (boot.img in the roms). But to install custom ROM you have to flash boot.img and that's what I did with the help of flashtool, but after when I'm trying to boot into recovery it's not even starting! let alone booting into recovery! , I think I bricked my phone guys! How to solve it? Please help!
I tried flashing stock firmware ftf with flashtool, and it worked! Now my phone is back stock 4.1.2.
But still one doubt how did flashing boot.img that came with flashtool soft bricked my phone? did I do something wrong? Also that boot.img was of CM 12 that i was installing at that time. Was that because I flashed boot.img even after having CWM installed prior?
Did you flash the rom from 4.3?
*blink*
Ya, I flashed the CM 12 on 4.3. But when I flashed the kernel i.e. boot.img supplied by the this zip-- ( CM11 unofficial FXP-cm-12-20150203-UNOFFICIAL-z3c_2) zip my phone bricked. I think there was something wrong with the zip, Cos today I flashed new cm-12-20150209-NIGHTLY build and it worked!
Can we change the kernel from Cynogen recovery to CWM ? and can CM 12 work with CWM?

Try fotakernel, use either cwm or twrp, they are permanent (until you flash the original fotakernel)
hey guys,
still had carbonrom 4.4 on my z1c and wanted to update to a blisspop
mistake #1: I made a backup with cwm
well, overall i couldnt get myself used to 5.1 so i wanted to get back to my beloved kk rom.
but blisspop put cm recvoery on my z1c. i tried to install dual recovery but it didnt work due to footer failure. so i first installed twrp and my next step was to install dual recovery so i could recover my nandroid backup with cwm. but now i cant boot into cwm anymore. everytime i try it through ndr utility, rom manager it boots into twrp.
any help?

Aroma installer for kernel including cwm, (you should be able to flash via twrp) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ent/ub-root-recovery-busybox-lolipop-t3085479 IMG of same idea - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son.../cwm-recovery-kernel-deactivated-ric-t2814708
Make sure you restore your backup once you get cwm, don't try to boot your current ROM after flashing these kernels
Hi Mates,
I was unlocking the bootloader of my Xperia M Dual. It went well but after that the phone went into bootloop. I read quite a few threads which suggest to flash stock rom. But I am having a few problems :
1. Cant find Indian stock rom, some links dont have the file others have a brazilian version. Please give a link.
2. Will flashing stock rom would work as I havent installed any backup CWM or TWRP ?
3, Can I flash cynogen nightly directly instead of flashing stock rom ?
4. Other things I should know prior flashing being a newbie.
5. BTW how much time does it takes to boot after unlocking bootloader ?

A1. This thread helped me. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532190.
A2. Yes, flashing stock rom would work even if you haven't installed any backup using CWM or TWRP.
A3. You can still flash CyanogenMod Nightlies directly instead of flashing the stock rom and then flashing CM again.
A4. Newbie here too! so I can't actually Suggest you anything
A5. It is supposed to take 5-10 minutes but even my phone went into bootloop.
What I did :-
> Flashed the old TWRP recovery from flashtool
> Installed CM and GApps
> Wiped Data/Factory Reset
> Rebooted the Device.
And VIOLA! the phone works like a charm!
I've been using the ROM for 2-3 days now and I have no major problems as of yet.
Hope this works out in your favour!
Happy Flashing!
After unlocking bootloader Bootloop is normal. You have to flash stock rom to fix it and also you can also flash any custom recovery(Cwm,Twrp) then flash any custom rom to fix it.
4.3 Indian Stock Rom
Recovery - CWM Philz
I am getting application error on flashtool help
