How to update CWM from 5.5 to 6.0 - Android

I have Sony Xperia Sola /mt27i/ with Unoficial_Stockrom_JB_Sola_4.1.2__6.2.A.0.400 and CWM 5.5.x.x.
I need to update my CWM to 6.0.x.x, because i want to install CM11 KitKat.I try to update with ROM Manager, but it does not work.
Also read many comments and threads around the forums but I could not do it. So I decided to post my problem.
Any suggestions is would help to solve my problem.
Thank you.

To me the exact same problem!
I had initially installed the CM11 but before passing to 10.1 cm, then to 10.2 and finally 11.
Now going back to 4.1.2 slim I have your same problem and I do not want to install them all again: (

Hello everyone. I just rooted on my phone the Cyanogen Mod 7 (cm7-zdzihu-mod). But the android version is 2.3.5. How can i upgrade it to 2.3.7? Do i need to install another custom ROM or it is just a simple update (which i didn't find yet)?
Thank you for your time, and i am really looking forward to seeing your answers.
Cheers,

hey.
I am having some problem installing cyanogenmod on my x10i, i have tried many other roms but none will install.
i have tried every tips in xda but i still get the E: error in /sdcard/ update.zip
(status 7).
i'm desperate, i so want to install cyanogen on my mobile or any other stable and quite beautifull rom, because my stock rom is so lame, it keeps rebooting,crashing,freezing, i'm like reformating this thing every month, because it crashes.even if i install nothing on my mobile exept usefull stuffs.
My idea was if i cannot install any custom roms on my x10i, can you who actually was able to install it help me on how it needs to be done or else make a nandroid backup of his cyanogenmod installed on your mobile and upload it somewhere for me to download it and restore it to my mobile it would be great.
Thanks for your help in advance
Follow this guide to the letter and you will be fine

Installing cm 10/10.1 from stock, help

CM10 discussion post is alive and well .
You are that worried then don't flash CM pick another less worrying rom .
Im just asking if i can install CM10 directly from rooted stock 4.1.2 or if i need to downgrade first

Yes you can
But with a 4.1.2, you have now a new bootlpader which include a new protection. So you will have a red exclamation mark on boot.
It doesn't matter, all is fine and everything will be working, it's just related to warranty service.
Check also forum, you can downgrade bootloader to avoid exclamation mark.

[Q] How do I remove Cyanogenmod 11.0 & install this custom ROM

Hi there,
I'm sorry if this has been covered before in another thread but after searching with limited success I have been unable to find a detailed answer, perhaps I'm just a little bit dim & have missed something however.
QUESTION:
After installing CyanogenMod 11.0 [KitKat][4.4.2] by "Gava97" I have found that it is simply not for me. I would very much like to install Destro316's "Proformance" ROM [4.0.4] http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...m-4-0-4-proformance-rom-long-battery-t2547481 as it seems much more stable having been based on a stock Sony ROM.
Do I just flash the new ROM over the previous one? Do I return to a stock setup & redo the rooting process? If so, how?
Being extremely new at this android thing, I'm a little stumped as to how to proceed. All instructions seem too vague for me to confidently follow without bricking something. As I said, it may just be that I'm a missing something.
Phone was originally running [2.3.7] when I bought it, though I soon flashed to stock Sony ICS [4.0.4] Firmware version 6.1.1.B.1.100.
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted & installed Clockwordmod Recovery via this tutorial: www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=V232-3tZddE
I would be very grateful if anyone could fill me in with a step-by-step guide on removing all traces of CyanogenMod & installing this new ROM. Any suggestions for different ROM's are welcome as well, of course.
-----
Bootloader unlocked: Yes
Root: Yes
Clockworkmod Recovery: Yes
Kernel version: Transcendence v 1.1.6
Flashtool Version: 0.9.14.0
PC: Windows 7

I really am sorry if I missed something in my search, I'm very new at this.
I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this & help me out.
Cheers,
Miles

Just follow the instructions on the ROM threat, this is erasing your CM 11, then install your ROM through CWM.
Good luck!
U could Just follow the instructions that included at the ROM u want, that will eras your CM 11, then install the ROM U want through CWM.
Clean Install is required
Woops
Hi everyone!
Sorry for the late update.
So I attempted to follow the instructions outlined in the new rom I was attempting to install and it did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Phone continued to boot into Cyanogenmod 11 kitkat as if nothing had happened.
Now obviously I messed something up, but I needed a properly functioning phone for work asap so I bought an Xperia Z1 Compact just to be done with it. Over the hassle.
However it's been bothering me that I still have a basically pristine Xperia U minus it's software tantrum.
So, how do I go about restoring this phone to the factory Gingerbread and removing Cyanogenmod?
Baby steps please.

I'm by no means an expert.
I follow the guidelines here to flash my Xperia Sola from ICS to a Kitkat rom.

I'm not entirely sure but downgrading should be similar? Fastboot (via flashtool) and flash boot.img. Then in recovery mode, flash the stock Gingerbread rom?

[Q] Help a newbie

Hey Guys.
Im new at this, so i wonder if anyone could help me.
I got this old Samsung S2, and i want to have that CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies on it. I havent tryed this before, so what do i need to get this on it??????
Best regards
Alex
The information you provided is not enough .
Do you have any experience in flashing roms ? Is the device unlocked ? which version of android is currently running on the device ?
hi, you need read, read and read and ask, cheers
If it's still running gingerbread then you need to install CM9 at least before jumping to CM11.
Personally I'd install CM9, then CM10, and then CM11.
But before you install any ROMs you'll need to root it and install CWM or TWRP custom recovery.

[Q] CM12 Revert to Sony Stock ROM

Hi Guys
We have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 (SGP521), currently installed with a nightly build of CyanogenMod12 Lollipop ROM.
Some functionality is not working well, so we would like to revert back to Sony Stock ROM, can someone guide us on the steps required?
We understand that the steps is similar to flashing the ROM into the device, but would be great if someone can confirm the steps, including where we might find stock Sony ROM. We've looked through some of the forum posts but some are quite old posts so just wondering if anything might have changed.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Will this work?

Just do a full wipe and flash the prerooted zip linked above in recovery.
