Hello everybody,
I managed to install the clockworkmod recovery for the Xperia play.
But I don't know how to reboot into recovery mode.
I searched a lot but I can't find the key combination for rebooting into fastboot/bootloader
or recovery mode.
Please help.
Turn device off. When off, press the power button, and start tapping the back button untill device boots into recovery.

The device just booted up normally.
May be there is another method or I am doing somthing wrong?

I see you posted in the CWM thread, did you boot the recoveryPLAY.img? if so you dont have CWM installed, thats a temp image, your ment to boot from fastboot every time you want to use recovery. You need to flash a kernel with recovery embedded, if your using a r800i with the latest firmware, try doomlords kernel.

What is it, unlike other android device, on the play recovery is held on /boot partition. This is the same partition as the kernel. So if you was to just flash a recovery, this would overwrite /boot partiton, and because there would be no kernel, the device wouldnt boot. So kernel and recovery have to be combined into one boot.img.
That recoveryPLAY.img, NEVER FLASH IT, alway boot it. If you flash it, it will corrupt your /boot partition.

I can't flash Clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager
I can't flash Clockworkmod recovery with ROM manager.
It says me that I have to install a Clockworkmod based recovery manually.
How can I do it?
As they said u should boot custom kernel (like eg. Doomkernel) to have recovery. I think there is no cwm for play working with stock kernel, or maybe is but it cant be booted.

What's a kernel and what i have to do?
Hi, I've just rooted my Play and installed CWM using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ..
I've installed CWM with no issues (or so the app says) but I can't boot into Recovery. There's an option in the app to reboot into recovery; but all that does it reboot the device normally (except that there's no boot animation). Also tried tapping back continuously during boot and volume down but still nothing.
Is this going to be a kernel issue? If so how should I go about getting the appropriate kernel on my phone?
As the says in description: reboot phone and when it shows sony ericsson logo u should wait for blue led and than start pressing any key an it should boot to recovery

Use the app to install cwm again. It doesn't always take the first time.

Kernel is a part of phone system which is connecting rom with hardware (i think) there is some custom kernels which is usually (always?) prerooted and has builtin recovery. With custom one u can eg. Overclock and/or undervolt ur cpu
U need to find one here on xda and than boot it using fastboot - in kernel's thread should be said how to do it.

you need to flash custom kernel which provide cwm..
flash one of them in fastboot mode.
you can choose doomlord, keiran, cm7, cm9, icx, miui, mjolnir and else
There is an app on the Google Play store called Xperia CWM Auto Installer. It automatically installs CWM.

Has anyone else had this problem with the screen freezing? It seems like manufacturing defect, but I'm not certain.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBC89c_NfPo
Looks like warranty claim
If u still got it
You have to hold them and not just tap them. Hold vol. down and power until you come into the download mode, or, vol. up and power until you get to the odin screen and reflash the rom you were using/wanting to use. I thought mine locked up. But, holding it seemed to fix the problem.
i have exactly the same problem,flash Stock ICS via odin with oneclick, the problem was fixed with that, but, there will be another problem, you cant root, if you flash a CWM the problem will be back when you enter in CWM. maybe a ICS rom rooted via odin can be the better solution but still i dont see any Rooted ICS via odin.
PD: I see that the problem is more common in rogers version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831561 that was the rom that i use. i hope someone can help with that freeze problem, because works perfect under ICS (one week and no problem) so i dont think that the problem is hardware

But, your phone has that problem (the screen freeze like the video)?, the only thing that i dont flashed of what you did was i927R-boot-ardatdat-AA.img.tar -odin (i dont know what is that) but, OneClick replace everything, so, if you installed the recovery before oneclick, then the recovery become the stock one.

Now that you have CWM, you can flash any rom. download the rom to your external_sd folder and you can go into CWM recovery mode and flash any .zip rom from GB -> ICS -> JB as long as it's CWM flash-able. I'm currently running stock waiting on the CM10 JB in the Dev forms to get fixed with the physical keyboard. I was thinking of using Inception, but didn't want to downgrade after it took me so long to get ICS working.
I'm glad I could help you out *first person I ever helped *

Thanks again
I have a similar problem. But as similar as these problems are they all have their own amounts of salt and pepper..
So as for the ROMs I can flash it seems that I can't flash any except for ones that are of the latest baseband (UCLJ3) or later..
The GB that came with it never worked..
And CWMR doesn't work for me. So I have to use Team Win. But the problem with TWR is that it won't flash certain things. Like the tethering fix and Navigation Bar mod. So I'm kinda stuck here..

Flashed stock kernel
Now i have flashed the ICS stock kernel and i am unable to get my phone to CWM recovery. After the sony logo appears, there's a black screen.
My PC find the phone, but it's in MTP mode, therefore i can't flash anything except the kernel (.ftf).
Do i have to change the internal memory?

You won't be able to until you flash a kernel with CWM or use X-Parts. Click the first link in my sig and read it from start to finish, when you have a better understanding of what you're doing then try and flash something.

Thanks anyway for the answers
I can't seem to find a answer for this problem. I have an xperia zl C6506 which I have unlocked bootloader and also have rooted. My problem is that I try to install cwm recovery which I can but after I do that I can get into recovery but cannot bot into stock. I then have to go in and use flashtool to kernel so I can boot again but then can't get into cwm recovery again. Need help read everything I can and tried more then once to install cwm recovery but always have same issue. Hopefully someone can help me with this because can't install custom rom. Did I miss something please help.
Sounds like the recovery you're installing isn't compatible with ROM? what ROM are you using and what kernel/recovery specifically? Are you using doomkernel? Because doomkernel comes with both TWRP and CWM and I know it works with stock. If you're not using stock, then Meow kernel?

Thanks for all your help worked like a champ. Tried it power up CWM recovery and power down TWRP recovery. Again thanks much the xperia zl is very different from all the other android smartphones I have had.
One other question I now have after installing the custom recovery is my Wi-Fi is no longer available. The doomlord kernel has made it non-usable. Any clues on how to fix this issue? I'm sorry for asking so many questions but like I said new to xperia zl.
I figured it out after I installed the doomlord kernel I then went back into CWM recovery and installed the whole zip file everything works. Any way thanks for your help without it I would have never been able to flash a rom. I'm now a very happy camper.

Do you mind helping me out i have the same problem as you. I am not sure where to put the files that are in the v17 zip. when i open them i see 3 folders and a boot.img. i have been using the flash tool up until this point. I am rooted and my bootloader is unlocked. I am just not sure how to flash the kernel so that i can get some type of recovery on y c6506 . any help would be helpful. I did a search and found this
[ how to install my kernel ] (via fastboot)
download the kernel package update.zip......i did this
save it on c:\ and extract the boot.img from the package....not sure what that means. does it just mean drag it to my deck top or something
save the boot.img to the folder containing fastboot binary....where is this folder?
flash the boot.img using fastboot:... i can use flash tool for this but when i click the lighting i check fastboot instead of flash
like i said any help would be great. And I will thank you
hello there my names kyle and im new here but you can call me sangy, anyway i have joined the site to post this

hello thanks for the quick reply
ive tryed the lupus ics+gb kernel latest version with the ics beta rom for xperia play and ive also tryed the lupus gb kernel latest version
and yes i have flash tool and all the drivers but a nice reccomendation on what to flash next based on my phones spec at the moment would be nice
also why am i the only person on the internet with this problem? ive heard of having 60+ apps on the sd to cuase hot booting but for me this is just out of the ordinare, particulary when ive whiped all the phone and flashed a new kernel.

With Lupus kernel, use R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79 firmware
will be flashing that stock firmware now over my other one then put lupus gb+ics over the stock kernel
will let you know if it goes well and fixes this
unfortunatly it did not fix it rom loads up, gets to the regular sony setup then freezes and hot boots. did this with lupus kernel ics+gb and the 4.0.A.0.79 firmware you linked me to. its either the kernel or my phone
just tryed doomkernel v14 with your FW kernel still crashes and reboots, is there something i have to do in flashtool because
every kernel ive flashed yet has the same issue.
note i can get a catlog app whilst it is plugged in then unplug it and wait for the crash and send it to you and you can see where its going wrong with the kernel and tell me what to do
thanks for reading these updates and sorry its taking this long to find and fix a big bug :good:

Did you tried any other ics/gb rom? Wipe your system/data from recovery before installing (and by installing i mean install from recovery with "install zip from sdcard")
Ps: maybe its stupid question, but is your sdcard full??? How much free space on it?
what recovery? this is an xperia play they dont have a recovery on stock kernels thats why im flashing one and no my sd card is not full
literally after i flash the kernal and boot up it will freeze and hot boot. the rom doesent factor in this. ive tryed 4 kernels so far the one that comes with cyanogen mod 9 and the 3 mentioned above
would flashtool logs be helpful if so tell me how to record them to a clipboard and you can see whats going on during the flash

literally after i flash the kernal and boot up it will freeze and hot boot. the rom doesent factor in this. ive tryed 4 kernels so far the one that comes with cyanogen mod 9 and the 3 mentioned above
would flashtool logs be helpful if so tell me how to record them to a clipboard and you can see whats going on during the flash

For Lupus kernel - when powering on, keep pressing volume down for clockworkmod recovery or volume up for TWRP recovery.
Flash ROM from recovery that match kernel. Lupus ICS/GB V7 is for ics/gb roms based on stock (Sony) roms. Read in ROM's thread which kernel is recommended
With flashtool you can only flash .img files and in Xperia Play case, that is ONLY ics beta rom (but almoust all kernels come in .img format - so Flashtool is used to flash kernel). From recovery you can flash every other rom that you can find (just make sure that kernel match rom or else you'll get kernel bootloop)
ok this will be crystal clear
i can flash the kernal but even when booting the kernal and going into recovery to even flash a rom it will freeze and hot boot
meaning i did everything correctly with flashtool to do the kernel and with just the kernel installed (no rom) it still freezes and hot boots
as soon as i can stop these kernels from freezing i can flash whatever ics or gb there is in recovery
note: what are your settings for your flashtool as i might be missing a setting also the info from flashtool says at startup to disable MTP for 2011 devices, would this be my problem?

what kernel are you trying to flash? Be specific!
What rom are you trying to flash?
Disconnect phone from PC after you flashed your rom (any one, first boot must be done while disconnected)
the kernel i would like mostly is the lupus kernel
i can flash every kernel no problems, its the fact that the kernel crashes etc i can also flash the correct rom using flashtool the same thing happens
the case im trying to make is that you first install the kernel then flash your rom in recovery then the extras like wifi modules to the kernel
the kernel (dosent matter which one i try for my device ) has the hot boot issue happen to it no matter what i do before i even have a chance to install the rom(again the correct rom stock or not).
and yes i know you have to wait for boot ups on new roms and kernels, this isnt the first time i have flashed roms as i have a galaxy tab 2 running cm10 for the most part.
again thanks for the quick replys but i think this will require more technical solutions or debugging with my phone or software.
Install cwm on your phone. Search xparts on play store. Go into recovery and wipe system and wipe data and cache then turn off your phone. Open flashtool. Hold search while plugging your phone in and then flash kernel

thank you for for saying that after 1 hour, will try that now and test the kernel for 20 - 5 min
if this works tell the kernel devs to make proper instructions on this

did these exact instructions but the new xparts dosent work so luckily the community had the older version that works,
followed everything buy the book installed cwm using xparts after root went into recovery, wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition and i even wiped the dalvik cache, flashed the lupus ics+gb kernel booted into the custom lupus recovery (scrolled through the menu a minute) then as expected kernel crash followed by hot boot
any other ideas?

Fully working steps:
-download eraser.zip in attachment, unpack it somewhere in pc
-Start flashtool, enter flash mode, hold back button on phone, connect to pc and flash .79 firmware. DO NOT BOOT INTO ROM!
-Disconnect phone and connect again in fastboot mode (hold search button while plugging it back)
-Flash Lupus ICS/Gb 480p or 720p kernel
-While still in fastboot mode, double-click file name "start.bat" from where you unpacked file in attachment.
-Disconnect phone, power on and keep pressing volume down untill you enter recovery

I don't know what you mean by "kernel still crashed in lupus recovery". In wich step you get that?
Try pressing volume up when powering on to enter twrp recovery
