I cant install recovery in my Xperia S
first, with relocked bootloader, I tried method 1 and 3 of Xperia S Dual Recovery for locked/unlocked bootloaders.
then, with unlocked bootloader, I tried again.
after, I tried TWRP Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager)
in my last attempt, I tried an old version of CMW that I have in my pc and I successfully used when I first unlocked bootloader in may 2013.
any suggestions??

Which method did you use? (Flashtool or Fastboot)
all of them have their own installer
but now, i try [email protected] kernel with flashtool and I could do!
now, I have recovery working!

I try again with stock ROM and Kernel and I cant install recovery.
I try install TWRP with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery boot.img) and got "<remote: partition not found>" error
if I change kernel to [email protected] I can install recovery.
what I am doing wrong?

Things I have done.
Rooted and installed CWM for Locked Bootloaders
Tried to install a rom but CWM was rubbish and it failed.
Recovered a .45 rom using flashtool.
Rooted and put CWM on again.
Unlocked bootloader using fastboot........
Once device rebooted it gets as far as Xperia logo and reboots, and reboots etc.
I can access recovery but its useless!
Whats my best step to do next??

#Check the status of your bootloader, like if its already Unlocked or Allowed, if its Unlocked then proceed STEP 02 and if not then Unlock the Bootloader First..You can search the thread around here on how to Unlock Bootloader. Dial *#*#7378423#*#* to check your bootloader Status. It will say Bootloader Unlocked : Yes Or Bootloader Unlocked Allowed : Yes or Simply NO.
# ReFlash your firmware with Flashtool & reboot
#Fastboot your desired kernel to get root access..you can fastboot your stock kernel back again if you dont wana use custom kernels. Both ways, u will still have your root access. My advice would be flashing SSpeed Kernel v08 or Advanced Kernel as both are updated kernels of current firmwares and the best CMW obviously!
# Let the kernel set in for some couple of hours
Hope it helped :highfive:
I'm still beeing too noob. I've been reading a lot,(thanks to Antrikos48) to but. I am trying to install cmw recovery. I want to backup may entrire phone to my pc. I went through google play and found cwm manager and cwm theter. I read that is necesseray to unlock bootloader before installing cmw. There are some different version of cmw. I'need some help.I'm really lost
I'm sorry about my english
I've read RECOVERY][CWM][2013-10-19][SS] Stock kernel with CWM 6.0.4.4 [Unlocked BL], as well.
Wperima C1905
rooted
May have to hold that thought for a while until the XPERIA M development matures.
I believe(and welcome corrections) that CWM recovery can only be installed on a modified Kernel and not on the stock Kernel.
-----------------------------------------
[update]
See corrected information by @alvinhochun
-----------------------------------------
I did check to see if I could load CWM recovery via flashtool and it was not available/supported.
I suggest Titanium Backup given you have root access.
This means with a LOCKED bootloader you only have to recover Titanium Backup after a SEUS/PC companion restore of the original ROM.
Would mean restoring your mods after the restore such as deleting bloatware from /system/app and etc.
I've published CWM for unlocked bootloader here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480556
For locked bootloader, there isn't currently one.

That's not exactly true, stock kernel can run CWM. The thing that needs to be changed is the ramdisk. Since the Xperia M does not have a recovery partition it needs a so-called "two-staged boot" to choose between Android and recovery.
Locked bootloader will check for a signature before booting, and will (or at least I think it will) refuse to boot. That's why flashing a modified boot image requires unlocked bootloader, no matter how you flash it.
Just a tip, before unlocking bootloader, remember to back up the TA partition! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Thanks, now I'm understanding a little bit more.I'm waiting for the script to swap the memory. In the meanwhile I'll backup the phone following the TAguide

Hi, guys thanks to xda I was able to root my phone now I can't seem find a working CWM recovery file to flash it in my device. I've not unlocked my bootloader though so please help me flash cwm recovery on my c1904 15.4.A.1.9 firmware locked bootloader thanks in advance.
Sorry, but it's impossible to install cwm if your phones bootloader is locked.

i did flash a cwm recovery for my device using flashify.But it just simply reboots it doesn't go to recovery mod. & please do something.
On Stock 4.1 i heared about a CWM for locked bl, but never tried it. But on 4.3 it isnt working. Look for the thread in general section.
But a "normal" CWM on locked bl isnt possible, as the bootloader only loads a kernel from Sony, and to boot into cwm on our device we need to detect an event to extract the cwm ramdisk instead of the nornal ramdisk, which is only possible with a modified kernel, which requires an unlocked bl to get loaded.
Tried to unlock my bootloader with official method and i perform all my steps correctly after that i got stuck in booloop that time i tried to boot in recovery but fail my device dont boot in recovery mod after that i flash stock 4.3 firmware on my xpetria using flashtool n i started my device (everything wiped)
then again i tried to boot in recovery but fail i again tried to unlock it but again stuck in bootloader and again flash stock rom
please help me developers where am i mistaken my device bootloader unlock status is yes
and i have lost my drm key too
Are you trying to access Fastboot mode or the actual recovery? Because the stock ROM doesn't contain accessible recovery, which is why you have to flash a custom recovery separately.
Hi
My problem is that it seems my Xperia Z1 Compact has no recovery. I rooted it by downgrading to .108 kernel, rooting and flashing .157 kernel.
I don't know if the no recovery problem was right after this but now I wanted to upgrade to android 5 and discovered I have no recovery. I tried:
manually to recovery (the LED won't even light up)
quickboot app
via adb
I also then unlocked bootloader and flashed kernel .sin again to see if this helps but no.
Please help

fastboot help you to put a kernel which is entered in the factory recovery partition. but you'll have to flash the (SLIM,RRREMIX) boot.img up and recovery.img the correct partition.
