Can't help you with that. I never installed the recovery. Try the original thread.

Well it sounds like you didn't install the APK. OK try this:
1. Click APK and choose install
2. Once it's installed, open the app
3. Install the recovery loader
4. Click yes I want to install
5. Grant SuperUser
6. close and reboot.
Let's see if that helps. That's exactly what I did when I tried this morning.

I searched and couldn't find a situation like this. I have been running Cougar's CM7.2 for six months now with no problems (also have CWM 5.5.0.4). Today, while making a phone call, my phone froze. Here is what I have tried so far...
- Pulled the battery, rebooted, stuck at logo.
- Entered CWM, did a full wipe, tried a restore. The restore process did not complete for over an hour...no error messages. Pulled the battery, tried another restore. Same result.
- Tried to start from scatch. SBFed 198_7. Seemed to load correctly thru RSD Lite except the boot screen still displayed "Unlocked." Rebooted and stuck at logo
- Tried 154_4 - same results. Stuck at boot logo and says "Unlocked"
I have not received a single boot error nor any error with RSD Lite.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Doesn't seem like the SBF "took" on all attempts (with multiple factory resets prior to the SBF). Still show "unlocked" with CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery.
Flash the stock again and wait till finish then do factory reset
if the cwm still present that mean the abf file didnt flash at all flashb it again

The phone completely failed and would not even power on. Took it to the Sprint store and exchanged ($35) for one they had on hand (refurb). My guess is there was either a hardware issue or the system memory became corrupted. Thanks Mions for the help. It's gonna suck being on 2.3.5.

I keep getting the message: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" whenever I exit CWM. I've tried hitting "No" and "Go Back" and on both it just reboots normally. Anyone have idea what's causing this? Exactly what would be modified if I hit "Yes"?

Hi, how did you install CWM? I think if you press yes it will keep the Cwm recovery so the original stock recovery doesnt flash automatically.

I installed it using the L9 Recovery apk. Whether I said no or go back, it just rebooted normally since there isn't a recovery to flash is my guess. I went ahead and said "yes" and things seem to be fine, so I guess no problem.
Thanks for the reply.

Not a place to ask such questions buddy.
Specify the kernel...in some kernel...idk which...the led doesn't glow to enter the recovery...just keep pressing repeatedly vol down key...you should be able to access the recovery.

first of all wrong section
the recovery key is not rom specific it depends on kernel and it is volume down key in almost all the kernels
download terminal emulator
and type in terminal emulator
su
reboot recovery
you can also use adb for it
KERNAL VERISON IS 2.6.32.9-PERF
how can i find the way to reboot via this kernal pls?

Did you try installing cwm again? Because it could only happen because you are not having cwm. Try installing cwm again and tell if it is working or not.

You lost root because you flashed stock kernel. Upload a screenshot of about phone or else tell your build number.

If you want to change the ROM go to the thread of the respective rom and see how you can do it. If you want to change the kernel. Download any ics kernel and flash it via flashtool. If you only want to get root back check the sticky threads in development about rooting. Since you have unlocked your bootloader rooting will be easier.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Hi im hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my phone using the easy root method, I had philz dual recovery and flashed a rom. I installed superSU from the play store (when I should have flashed it) and now I can't access my recovery. I've tried rerooting and reflashing using all three methods for installing the recovery and none are working. Does anyone have a solution to this, I've got a backup of my stock rom etc. but I cant access it or recover it without a recovery. Im pretty much lost on this, I posted in the recovery thread but it didnt get answered.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried doing that but it won't work, I dont know if it has something with Superuser? it says it cant update the binaries. Either way I've tried all 3 options on the process to install the recover (install with SuperSU, Install with SuperUser and install on unrooted rom)

heres the link for NUTs download page, http://nut.xperia-files.com/ file your looking for is
Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip (10.59MB)
this appears to be the latest version and is 17th link from the bottom of the right hand list
the flashable zip is just left of the installer
It should mean if u install a new rom and lose recovery just run the installer from windows and it should give u back recovery

Thanks, unfortunately thats what I have been using to try and regain recovery. Any other ideas? Im really struggling, I thought maybe if I unrooted and just re-rooted correctly it might help but I can't find an FTF file for my network I can only find unbranded which I very much doubt would work.
anyone?
I'm in the exact same position. I flashed monx 438 rom and I don't know what happened, I can't get into recovery either. I'm on unlocked bootloader. I have tried flashing the boot.img from 438 advanced stock kernel but at the command prompt it keeps on saying waiting for device. I have root access.
Same here.
I have a stock .402 ROM, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Have flashed the recovery a few times, and still cant get into it. Even when trying to access recovery via cmd prompt "adb reboot recovery"
I too am in the same boat... I rooted my phone, primarily to add the kitkat sd card fix, which works...
Then I went through the motion of unlocking bootloader, which I assume worked cos it wiped my phone clean. Had to reinstall everything...
Then I went through the motion of installing Cwm recovery. This went through OK. Well according to the command prompt it did.
But still I can't access recovery. I get no flashing LED lights before the Sony logo comes up, and then it just boots into normal phone mode.
I am on UK 3 network if it makes any difference......
I'd really love to be able to access my recovery cos I'm dying to apply the dual speaker and volume hack....
Don't know where to go from here..........
Just to add, I flashed to firmware 402 (uk unbranded) and re-rooted the phone and re-installed cwm recovery, but I get no led lights and no recovery mode. Oh well, just like a number one hit for 'the who', it was never meant to be....lol
sorry to resurrect but I have the same issue. how did you guys get back into recovery
I use a kernel with recovery
Vol up - cwm
Vol down - twrp
Cam key - philz
I can't flash kernol because I can't get into recovery even using the app to force boot
Everytime i install a custom rom in my phone it boots up normally and then it just frezzes and restarts, i thought it was something with the rom, so i downloaded another one and it did the same thing, i have tried 4 roms already, i don't know whats happening

You have to open the ROM zip and pull the boot.img out and flash it using fast boot cimands or if you can get into your android system using your original backup....then you can install 4ext recovery which will flash the boot img for you with smart flash...sound like you have a kernel problem
