What do you think CWM means?
And the way to get into it is repeatedly pressing the back-button, not the volume button.
I m new,but i read alot in this forum. Cwm is the clockworkmenu, of course. On my tablet it works fine, but on my smartphon i cant enter. I first tryt the back butto, but i cant acess the cwm. When exactly i have to press the back button? After starting the device i presst the button again and again, but i got no effect.

Flash the kernel again maybe.
Did you just get the words CWM based recovery, without any of the options underneath it?
It is a text-based menu, you need to navigate through it with the volume-buttons and select the items with the home-button. Use the back-button to get back to a previous menu.
Press the back-button repeatedly (about 3 times a second or so) as soon as the back-light comes on and keep doing that until CWM actually appears.
I flasht the kernel 3times, i also tryt an older version, same result. This evening i ll try again pressing the back button faster.
I read, that comming from an other custom kernel, you have to klear /system ... first. I come from the original Sony Rom, so it doesn t mether to me? The content of the sd card has no effect of the cernel!? I have not format it before.

Try a factory reset before you flash the kernel, don't know if you can get the original kernel back on? And no, the sd-card does not need to be formatted or anything like that, it does not stop the kernel from working.
First i reinstalled the original Sony ROM by Sony Update Service. Then i flash t again the 2.6.32.60-nAa Kernel, but no chance to get in to the CWM. Then i try t an other custom Kernel, and i get immediately access of the CWM. There i claret the System and the cache. Then i flash t again the 2.6.32.60-nAa Kernel and now i came in the CWM. From there i installed my brand new ROM and it looks very COOL :laugh:

Hello,
I used to be on CyanogenModv6 with my X10mp... It was perfect, but this morning i decided to upgrade to MiniCM7 Pro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116)
The thread say that i need CWM to do it. Then i searched how to do this, and i found that :

Because i already had Xrecovery. I did it like this, and now, i'm stucked at the Sony Ericsson logo... How can i fix this? Thanks a lot.

use SEUS to reflash 2.1 to your device then root and try again, if you want i can give you the files and a little explanation on how to install CWM manually
thanks for your answer. I used flashtool and now it works
thanks for your answer!!
I have a similar problem.
I used this guide to unlock my bootloader. After the kernel downgrade and the actual unlocking of the bootloader (using the setool2 batch), my X10 does not boot and I can't shut it down. This means I can't get into flash mode holding the back button.
Any suggestions?

Plug in your USB-cable, press home-button and power-button simultaneously, and as soon as the screen goes completely black, release those and press the back-button, voila, flashmode...

Hi, same problem here.
I'm in bootloop and cannot access my phone. I've read many threads and found no solution. Have u found any solution?
I'm really stuck & dont know anything else to do...
Using flashtool.
Check that out on this forum's android development
Sent from my SK17i using XDA
as far as i know, if your phone is bootloop
the easiest thing to do is re-flashing it using flashtool.
coz u cant enter ur phone memory except the phone can be usable.
but, if the bootloop because the incompatible kernel/custom rom, try to install another kernel/cusrom. thats what i try on my phone
sorry for my bad english !
If you have clockwork recovery and did a backup of you phone while it was stable, restore it. If you don't, I advice you to start making backups before doing crazy stuff, you can access clockwork recovery by pressing the volume up key.
Assuming that you didn't do a backup, get flashtool, select the option to flash firmware, remove and reinsert the battery press the volume down key and connect it to the computer, it should be on flash mode and you should be able to flash a new rom.

Hi everyone,
i bought a second hand Xperia Pro which came wih Lupus Kernel and Ultimate HD rom. Now I wanted to try the stock firmware for comparison but i can't flash it.
I've followed several guides and searched on the forum with no luck. what i've done is basically
- installed flashtool, latest version
- downloaded the stock firmware and put the .tft in the firmware folder
- open the driver installer from the driver folder in flashtool and selecting fastboot, flashmode and xperia pro drivers to install
- click on the flash icon, select the correct firmware, click flash
- when the window with the animation asks for it i press and hold the volume down button and attach the usb cable. I keep pressing the button and the lupus logo appears, then nothing happen and the window with the usb cable animation goes on
i've tried several times and also on different computers... and... to get thing worse, i've just bricked my xperia :s after several attempts, a menu apeared on the display (i have no idea why, i must have done something different from the previous attempts) i think it was called lupus cwm. One of the options was about wiping the phone... i've tried with that one, then he asked me "Root access is missing. Root Device? This cannot be undone" and I choosed yes... not very wise to choose yes or no when you don't know what you are talking aobut, i know
So basically if i try to turn the phone freezes on the lupus logo and i have to pull the battery out. And, no need to say it, nothing has changed when it comes to trying to flash it with flashtool
any help will be much appreciated, i really don't know what else i could try now...

You did all the steps to flash the stock firmware ftf like it should be done! Please try to take off the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert it and press and hold volume down while connecting the usb. A green led should light up and it should start flashing

thanks for your help. I've tried removing the battery but it's just the same. A blue led, not green, turns on for a couple of seconds on my xperia pro... i've recorded a short video so you can check that i'm doing everything properly...
OUCH i can't insert links :s youtube .com/ watch?v=_hIZMn9HrlA
so you think it's not a problem if i have bricked the phone wiping off the firmware? the flashing procedure should work the same?
MUAHHAHA got it!!! my phone is finally flashed! i was just pressing the wrong button :s even if all the guides specific for xperia pro were saying to pross the volume down button, i had to press the BACK button! and the led did turn on green indeed, as you were saying
just another question: what happened when that CWM menu asked me "Root access is missing. Root Device? This cannot be undone" and I choosed yes? does that mean i rooted the phone? and is it stil rooted or it's been overwritten by the original firmware i have just flashed?
thanks

I'm sorry, I forgot the thing about the back button instead of volume down, too
If you have an unlocked bootloader, your phone normally should automatically be rooted when you flash a custom kernel as (nearly) all kernels for our devices include this feature. But as you have flashed the stock firmware now, all was overwritten and you have to flash another custom kernel to get cwm back
ok, thanks a lot
Hi, I've acquired a NABI 2 to try and repair off a friend but its proving difficult to say the least. I know he was doing something with the firmware but beyond that im not sure.
The current state its in is this: It doesnt power on by pressing the power button. If you enter the recovery menu (VOL +, VOL- and power) the recovery menu displays in the top left with the nabi logo in the centre of the screen. The menu cannot be navigated, either its froze or its unresponsive. If i connect it by usb when in the recovery menu the PC detects it as a MTP USB Device but it fails to install the drivers.
Really i just want this back to factory standard, is their anyway to put this back in working order? I've not a whole lot of android experience so please, treat me as a noob with step by step instructions.
Any help appreciated
Update

I'm short on time this Christmas Eve but the general idea is this if it's a US Nabi2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51037177&postcount=21
EXCEPT use the files from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54871957&postcount=2342
instead of the ones it says to download in the first post I link, use the files from the second post I linked(Nabi 246 files, JB bootloader). It will work but the only trick is which TWRP to start with ICS ot JB. You may have to try one and then the other. After that the procedure should get everything running again.
Ok, i managed to get TWRP working again but its unable to install anything, whenever i try it just shows as in the screenshot. Any further advice?

It's the wrong TWRP, if you used ICS TWRP use JB or vice versa.
no power on or boot

Hello guys.
Hoping on your truly support. Have the problem, which cannot solve by myself.
Was trying to flash boot.img from CWM recovery 6.0.3.0 via fastboot. It flashes succesfully, but after rebooting the tablet it doesnt show any signs of life. Was trying EMMA for solving , Flashtool to change kernel, but when plug it through usb, it haven't launched and PC don't recognize any device connected. When i press Vol+ Vol- Power at the same time LED lights with white 3 times and that all.
Was using rooted Lollipop 5.1.1 with unlocked bootloader.
Is there any possibility to reanimate it or its finished totally.
Regards.
Edit.
Many thnx 2 Alok Bajaj for his solution:
Here's what you can do..
Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Up button for ten seconds until you see a white light flashing three times. While doing this somewhere around in 5 seconds you'll see white led flashing once, but keep on pressing those buttons till it flashes next three times.
After that your tablet will be turned Off.
You can put your device in flash mode and flash a new ROM from Xperia flash tool.
If you get the error "Unknown sources and USB debugging must me enable for flash mode, then your option can be to flash the ROM from fastboot.
Download a ROM (CyanogenMod or any with custom recovery).
Flash the boot.img via fastboot and reboot your device.
Once done you should see a led lit up while the device is booting (pink/magenta color in case of CyanogenMod).
Press the volume up/down button and you should be able to go to recovery mode.
From here you can recover your device easily
And before you do anything make sure you've charged your device well.
Good luck
Cheers mate!
hi,
thanks for the tutorial, I try it but*don`t see the second three blue blinks how long usually*takes to wait for them
Hi there! I think I have hardbricked my tablet (SGP321) too. The thing is, mine won't start, no matter what I press and do. If I press the power button it blinks white and if I press the UP button with it, it blinks three times. After that nothing happens. If I connect a USB to it, it just flickers first red and then green. And thats it.
I tried to flash [7.1] CyanogenMod 14 [POLLUX/POLLUX_WINDY][UNOFFICIAL] by CaHbKaUp and chose the Pollux Version from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/rom-cyanogenmod-14-t3496758. I also flashed the recommended GApps.
I whiped the sd-card in recovery (twrp) first and then flashed the new rom and GApps.
I think I chose the wrong version, maybe? I flashed my tablet once and I thought I could do it again, the same way as before. Guess I was wrong.
If there is anything I can do to get this back to work, please respond!
with regards

You can't flash custom ROMs with XZDR recovery.
