CWM for Xperia S/Acro HD

here's a quick and very easy guide on how to install CWM on Xperia 2012 line ups.
just download the CWM install file
SO-03D / Acro S here
Xperia S here (big props to PuriketsuAngel)
unzip folder
connect phone normally via USB to your PC
go to unzipped folder, execute install.bat
that's it, CWM installed.
to go to recovery mode - just restart device (turn off, turn on) and while on the SE logo, simply tap the screen of your phone several times.
up and down volume keys will serve as your directional keys, camera button will serve as "select/ok" key.
and yep, back and home buttons work within the CWM environment.
note: when you choose to restart/reboot system now while on CWM screen, phone will turn off.(it does on mine). just restart normally - like pressing on the power button to turn it on.
Device must be rooted. we got a tut on how to root your device even on locked BL here
N O T E
This is a work around if restoring from previous back up is giving you error.
Back up :
Before doing a NAND back up - please do a manual reset of your device - no additional Apps must be installed. Also clear/delete any left over folders from your SD card.
Restart device then tap screen several times - once in CWM - clear cache/dalvik cache.
Then and only here would you do a back up for your ROM.
Restore :
Before doing a restore - please do a manual reset of your device - turn device off, hold vol-up and power button at the same time until you get 3 vibrates.
Now you can do restore.
if this CWM version is still giving you errors : please provide a detailed account of the error message, a logcat will be appreciated.

Good to hear. But I will wait for someone to confirm this. Kinda scared (I had another device, and modded it a lot, but I'm quite noob to XS yet)

nothing to be scared about. the guide is fairly easy to follow and no special key combination required. the process just installs CWM on your recovery partition.

Ok. I think I will do it. But you will buy me another one if this one bricks (JK... )
EDIT: It was easier than i thought. Thanks, it works
EDIT 2: Home and back buttons work

so, with this now we can install modded roms?

If they use stock kernel, yes.

Good point... let's hope someone find a way to unlock the BL or start making cool roms for stock kernel
EDIT:
Som questions regarding this:
- If we reflash the firmware, we lose cwm?
if not, I know we lose root, but with cwm can we root again?
PS: somehow now I have a backup I feel safer xD

Generally speaking: Install bootloader only with Odin.
You should now flash firmware using Odin to save your device. Maybe Kies could restore also.

HERE you may find firmware for your country/device, download.
Start Odin, connect your phone in download mode to pc, see if Odin shows up com-port and flash firmware in tab PDA/AP.
There are several guides on youtube/google

Cant Find my carrier
my carrier is international, only countries are on that list, I dont know which one to choose, also if im gonna flash firmware is it possible to flash 4.1.2? or 4.2.2/4.3?

Depends on your last firmware. What was the bootloader version? If above MJ5, you can't downgrade so you are free to flash eg latest 4.4.2

1. Never flash bootloader through recovery
2. I assume that you have had newer bootloader than MJ5 before flash, so you soft bricked your device
3. To regain full funtional device follow post #4

Try pressing the reset button located on the sim tray. I hope that will be helpful

Try this - download the latest flash too and either 4.4 or 5.0 ftf. slect the appropriate ftf and once it is ready to flash, ie., when it prompts you to connect your phone, connect the phone to the laptop with vol - pressed. It should detect the phone. This method would wipe out the entire internal of the phone and do a clean install. Unlikely this should not work.

Pls understand my major prob is I am not able to go to flash mode or even fastboot.

i can understand not able to get into fastboot mode (probably your bootloader is messed), but how did you figure out your device not getting into flash mode. You have not mentioned about how it behaved with flashtool. What does it say when you connect it to the laptopn with only vol- pressed?

Connect ur charger and say wat happens?

After I used it with Lollipop droidboot ww t00j stock .78 I had problems with camera. It works only with kitkat?

@ XHook
have you worked on method to re-lock bootloader..

bricked my bootloader
After flashing this I couldn't access my fastboot. Now I can't even boot to system. I'm stuck at the USB logo, where usually I could reboot to fastboot (via pressing Power & Vol +) to fix this. But now I can't even access fastboot. When I press Power & Volume Up, it shows a battery icon. Please do help @XHook.
Editted:
Sorry for panicking back there. I forgot the reboot to recovery way using Power & Volume down. At least I can still boot to my system. I'll try to find a DIY solution for this. Sorry for panicking, @XHook.

Your tool uses Fastboot of 4.3 version right? Is that the difference?

no more update? camera not found, can this method by xhook solve the problem?
i've tried this version, but make my bootloader missing/bricked, same with ezrawk post
Note : When I installed this version >> 3.24.40.87 latest stock lollipop firmware
@XHook, tell me what your firmware version when you install this UBL method.
Thanks

About the flashable fastboot, try searching for it in the Help & Troubleshooting part, I think the user who upload the flashable fastboot zip was tank0412. Try PM-ing him. Sorry can't help you about this 'cause I forgot where I saved mine.

Help needed ! stuck in Bootloop

Hey guys. Today I tried rooting for the first time using this guide
In the third step of the article "3.Flashing TWRP and Rooting via TWRP" I pressed cancel when it asks for an encryption password(I hadn't put one yet). I also flashed the english TWRP( Recovery file) and not the one provided in the article . Now the phone just wont boot. Whenever I try to boot it, it gives me the error message:
"Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted.
ID: N/A"
And TWRP comes up everytime .
When i try booting from factory it shows:
"Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted.
ID: bad key"
and TWRP comes up.
The phone is still recognized in adb.I still haven't flashed SuperSU if that helps.
Should i Flash stock recovery and try again ?
Please send help, guys.

I don't think I messed with the OS . I just unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP without flashing SuperSU.(done it for the first time for my Moto Z play). Used Wipe to clear davlik,cache and that's it.haven't done anything in the recovery since then.
The only thing i remember messing up was to not input the encryption key when it prompt me for it by clicking cancel.
I've read in some forums that it doesn't boot if it doesn't have SuperSU flashed,but I'm not sure if it's safe since i don't exactly know what might or might now permanently brick my phone.
Also some forums had something to do with patching the kernels (don't know if that's what you call it) but i don't know if it's a safe thing to do since it might also permanently brick my phone.

You used the Chinese TWRP originally? Now you have alberto97 TWRP? Is this correct?
I would flash a custom ROM, why I'm saying that is it's far safer flashing a zip ROM than trying to flash the stock firmware.
Again I will remind people the flashing bootloaders on moto devices will inevitably cause hard bricks if you downgrade and the accept an ota.
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
The only solution and this applies only if you want to remain on the stock ROM.
Download the retail firmware and only manually flash the boot.img, the 10 sparsechunks and the OEM.img.
Do not use rsdlite!!
This should boot your phone.

I would install the aosp ROM as it is bare bones android.
As for bootloaders, when you receive an ota it flashes a new bootloader.
What some folks have done is because they feel like a new ota isn't working to their liking, they have downgraded their firmare, either by flashing the firmware package that can be downloaded. They flash the entire package including bootloader, what this does is set up a perfect hard brick scenerio for moto devices.
They accept an ota or for reasons that are beyond uderstanding, sideload the package and bam as soon as they restart there device it bricks their device due to the mismatched bootloaders.
You are unlocked and the easiest way to prevent hard bricks is to for go flashing firmware.

I'm attempting to build a stock flashable TWRP stock 7.1.1 ROM.
You may also flash any flashable TWRP stock 7 rom, either bye me or dedracks

I will try to flash a custom ROM if it doesn't.

That's fine and it's my ROM lol.
You may want to format your data but first try to flash the ROM and see if it boots.
That Chinese TWRP is a nasty thing

How will flashing a new logo help me get out of boot loop ? AFAIK it only replaces the warning.

Bro are you sure you followed my instruction? In twrp menu click on reboot>bootloader
Then it will boot the device in bootloader mode. And in the bootloader menu click on "start" using the power button. Then it will boot your phone. Everytime you reboot your phone do the same step. If you want to get rid of that thing you need to flash official rom via rsd lite

Rsdlite sucks, never flash any firmware with resdlite unless you know which lines need to be removed from the text file that tells rsdlite what to flash.
manually flashing firmware is IMO much safer and all you need to flash is the boot.img all the spareschunks and oem.img
