[Q] How to install recovery mode & root my phone via it ?

Hello guys.
I just opened the bootloader of my phone and want to install recovery mode so could you please tell me how ?
And another question: how can I root my phone via recovery mode ?
I use last update 4.0.2.A.0.62
Thank you in advance

Just download recoveryPLAY.img (google it) and place it in androidSDk folder where the fastboot.exe is located. Switch on your phone using fastboot and enter the command fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img. Also download the RootXperia.zip and flash it once you are in recovery. Later on If you want CWM (recovery) on your phone , you can follow this thread.

I readed a thread on the mini pro development section and i thought this would be useful.
What is it?:
FOR STOCK ROM ONLY (or maybe for roms based upon stock rom)
Didn't test it on ICS builds
-Install CWM on stock rom (locked and unlocked)
-APK installer
-BassBoost
-Bravia engine
-Dalvik2Cache
-install Java for Android v2.1, 2.2, 2.3
-and maybe more!
What do i need?
A xperia 2011 phone
For pc:
- Install PC Companion for adb driver installation
- Enable USB Debugging by going to: Menu \ Settings \ Applications \ Development
- Enable Install from Unknow sources by going to: Menu \ Settings \ Applications
- Increase screen timeout over 1 min
- Connect your phone to your computer via USB connection.
- Press the button corresponding to install the corresponding features on the phone!

[Bootscreen] bios boot screen

I came across a bios boot screen on a dutch forum. I liked it very much but couldn't find a good one for the i9300. Now I managed to do that, I ported it to the i9000. So here it is!
BIOS BOOT ANIMATION:
EXAMPLE:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Install instructions with Root Explorer:
Root Explorer: Play Store Link
1. Download the boot animation zip file to your phone.
2. Open the Root Explorer App
3. Locate the bootanimation.zip in your downloads folder
4. Copy zip file to System/Media Folder
Long Press on bootanimation.zip
Select Copy
Select Parent Folder
Select Parent Folder again
Select System
Select Media
Press “Mount R/W” (If it says “Mount R/O” Leave alone)
5. Select Paste
6. Set permissions to rw-r--r--
7. Change owner and group to "0 - root"
8. Reboot

Make your choice lol:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=energy star bios bootanimation
That bootanim exists everywhere, maybe the most diffused ever.
I wanted to make a cwm zip for you but after having a look in the bootanimation.zip from here you can be sure it won't work (someone tested it?Not even sure your device will boot,pretty rare to be that buggy for a bootanim..)
I found one Samsung Galaxy S tagged, only bad side is that it's maybe a little too fast (30fps) we could reduce that later if you want.
For now if you want to test here's a cwm zip that will push it to data/local (I prefer it like this, that way you'll keep your bootanim even if you upgrade your rom unless you wipe data).

Thanks! remind me of my old PC

is it good for i9001 too? it's my first boot animation...

[Q] Help with file management while inside TWRP or CWM.

I am sorry if this has been asked many times, but seriously I can not get a straight answer via the search command here on XDA.
[ PROBLEM #1 ] Can not see my phone or sdcard via TWRP file manager (recovery)
I have pluged in the cable from phone to PC. In device manager it shows me this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have installed the Samsung USB drivers
download-samsung_usb_driver_for_moblie_phones_v1_4_6_0-exe/ and installed it.
*NOTE*
If I boot into my ROM ( Infamous custom ROM ) I can see my phone and my sdcard.
... BUT ...
Back into recovery ( Power button + Vol down ) TWRP | MOUNT | MOUNT USB w/ all boxes checked except USB-OTG
The phone is plugged into my PC, I am looking for Phone and Card via file manager ( Windows 7 ) they are not there.:
What am I doing wrong ????
===================================
[ PROBLEM #2 ] While on my phone fully booted up to any custom ROM, I go to Windows Explorer and I do see my Phone
memory AND my micro-card, but I can not create folders on my cdard via explorer. I can move folder's from
my PC to the card but not create folders there .. also all the file sizes are the same.
No matter what the size of the folder or file is, Windows show them all at 51MB. Weird.
Any thoughts on this one ???
====================================
Last issue and very important question !!
[ PROBLEM #3 ] When I want to instal a new custom ROM on my phone, I do what most people do. Backup (nandroid)
Wipe / Factory Reset, Wipe Delv. Cache and System. Then I install the ROM. My question is, ... EVEN AFTER
I do all those wipes to the system, If I look at the phone's memory, there are tons of leftover remnants there from older programs.
I would like to do a Clean Instal onto a Phone that has no folders for any old programs on it. Doesn't TWRP or CWM do that ??
I know if I use wipe internal it will clean it all out, but it will also wipe /media/data and then I am screwed right ??
Any thoughts on this ??
Thank you for reading all this ... and help me even if you know just one the solutions to any of my 3 questions !! :victory:
Cheers :highfive:

Looks nice.
But for people with locked BL or anyone else who doesn't want to flash this just use Gravity Box via Xposed Framework.

When I flash it I have bootloop, my device is C1905

new zip uploaded
please download again and flash it
framework.jar was missing in old zip
my mistake
make sure to have a nandroid backup or you can simply flash system from a ftf file without wiping cache and data

Hey people i wanted to let you lot know and the dev that you can flash this on locked bootloader using Flash Gordon I did it on my Xperia M(C1905) locked bootloader and it works like charm no bootloop or anything when i flahed it on locked bl be warned you need to be fully rooted to do this if your phone half rooted I don't know what will happen and your ROM need to be deodexed
BE WARNED PHONE HAVE TO DEODEXED OR WHEN YOU FLASH THE ZIP ALL THE APPS WILL STOP WORKING AND THE PHONE WILLGO INTO BOOT LOOP( I know this is because the developer tells that and I tried it without deoxdiding my ROM and it went into bootloop and had to flash firmware again)
When you flash this using Flash Gordon it will reboot suddenly don't worry about ]

Hi! I do not speak English well
I would like to ask you what you did in the 'android.policy.jar', the 'framework.jar' and 'framework-res.apk'?
Thank you in advance!

Question: for what version is this flash file? 4.1,2 or 4.3? , thanks
