what is your firmware sir?? maybe its about your firmware that the rom is compatible with so that it wont stuck on samsung logo or bootloop if you have that firmware like DXKL2 and DXLC1

Here you go CWM by madteam:
http://www.mediafire.com/?n3x18su3495fr8l
Also do remember to data wipe and cache wipe from both stock and CWM recoveries before installing any rom..If the ROM still doesnt flash ..use the stock rom package from dokys thread in android development and re-flash..that must fix the issue..

No firmware doesnt matter..All firmwares support all ROMS..but they may have some glitches like wifi issues etc..but atleast they will boot up

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713518
see this

You need to follow the Instruction properly.
If it ask you to flash via CWM, then download CWM and put it into your SD directly.
Then goto Recovery mode and select update from SD then select CWM zip file to enter CWM.
Good luck.

NB: please always flash your ROM with Clock Word Mode (CWM) it will minimize your risk of brick you phone

nope...cwm won't minimize the risk. in fact, stock recovery is a lot safer than any 3rd party recovery.

there's several advantages of using cwm
1. more recovery option.
2. no need to sign the zip file
3. more installation capability. we can't install kernel via stock recovery.

Before installing make backup wipe dalvik cache , cache, do factory reset and try again .. hope it helps
Sent from my Hero using xda premium

Actually I tell the whole story now. When I was making backup of my stock ROM the sd card showed low on space. So I removed that SD card and inserted the one which came with the Phone. On that I installed all the required zip files. Then I made backup of the stock ROM and the data. After that I followed these steps mentioned here -:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863260
According to the steps I did not did wipe davik cache etc. after instaling the ROM I did wipe factory and data reset and wipe cache partition. After following all the steps mentioned I rebooted my phone as mentioned. But after rebooting the phone is stuck on android logo. I then again went into recovery and tried to wipe dalvik cache the confirmation page that appears before wiping anything is not coming. Also when I tried to restore my phone to the stock ROM an error message is coming. So I am not able to restore to the stock ROM. This is the whole thing. So guys please help. I hope I have not bricked my phone. Any solutions?
Thanks

May i know what recovery that you use to install the rom??

What version it is??
If you are install custom rom from stock rom,its better to use px-cwmV2..
If test it,and it minimize the risk of stuck on android logo..
After that you can change the recovery to other version that you want..

I think the version is 5.0.2.7. Also when I am switching off the phone after sometime it is automatically switching on by itself. So for the time being I have removed the battery.

If you use that version,use the version that can support rfs+ext4 file system..
Stock rom use rfs file system and custom rom usually use ext4 file system,so therefore you have to use recovery that support both..

If you have working recovery it's no use to flash stock ROM, just flash px-cwmV2 http://www.mediafire.com/file/y1xy6g2y5tpp1fg/px-cwm-v2.zip.
Then wipe all, including dalvik, flash desired ROM, wipe all again (including dalvik), and you should be good to go.

I have. As i said, you could just try CWM v2.
BUT to be absolutely safe flash a stock ROM using Odin, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20397915&postcount=3.
After u flash the stock ROM, go to default recovery, factory reset, boot the rom, shutdown.
Flash the desired version of CWM using Odin or trough recovery, and then flash the custom ROM u want.
For me CWM 5.0.2.7 ext4+ RFS couldn't wipe dalvik, nor could it mount /system. So I used cwmV2.
Good luck!

when you flash firmware with odin, it will also flash a new recovery.
just enter recovery like normally, and flash cwm-v2.zip
after its done you pull the battery out, and boot into recovery again.
now you have clockworkmod installed

I am not installing firmware right now. I am just wanting to install CWM v2 and try whether it is able to install MIUI successfully or not. If this one also fails then I will install the firmwares via odin. Hope you ate able to understand what I am saying. Please help.

[Q] Can't put CWM onto my Xperia Arc after using EMMA

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

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?

[Q] Installation aborted (BAD)

I have tried to flash a few custom roms but everytime I go to install it says installation aborted (BAD). I have downloaded the same rom a couple of times in case it was a bad download, but still get the same result. I flashed the leaked 4.3 via odin before trying to install custom roms, could this be the problem?. I am using philz recovery.
Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?.
Thanks in advance
