This is ClockworkMod Recovery (v.5.0.2.7) ported to work on Xperia mini (ST15 and S51SE versions) / Xperia mini pro / Xperia Active / Xperia Arc
Introduction
This CWM recovery is for people who don't want to unlock their bootloaders risking their DRM / warranty. It is not 'true' recovery per se, since it installs in /system, but all the CWM functions should work.
Features
Usage
When booting your phone and when the 'Sony Ericsson' logo appear, press and release continuously the volume down button.
Once you are in the CWM recovery, use the volume keys to navigate upwards / downwards, the 'home' key to select, the 'back' key to go back.
Requirements
Installation
Download CWM from here and extract its contents.
Using Root explorer: copy ALL the contents of the system folder (system/bin and system/xbin) to /system (system/bin and system/xbin respectively), then give 755 permissions to those files, especially to /system/bin/chargemon, or you'll get bootloop. Double check everything before rebooting.
Notes to everyone
Do NOT use this recovery if you are not in Stock 2.3 firmware.
