Try this. Copy the files to the correct folder with root explorer and add 755 permissions for them, so:
^Thanks, I tried it. I think it's the same thing that RecoverX is supposed to do; I tried that method, too, and all the files in your zip had already existed. I overwrote the existing files anyway, changed all permissions the way you suggested, but I cannot enter CWM in either ways:
- touching the screen several times on boot
- pressing and holding either volume down or up keys on boot
- pressing either of volume keys several times during boot
- choosing "reboot into recovery" options in Notification Toggle menu
Maybe it's me, but no luck here.

I can go to the recovery but I cannot mount system hence cannot install from zip
You can root it fine with this guide, you do not need an unlocked bootloader. If you would have read the thread (which is only 3 pages long,) there is no known way, yet, to install CWM (as the title sais, and not CMW) to our Xperia P device. CWM is the shorter version of ClockWorkMod.
Sorry for my disturbing "voice" but I'm getting kinda tired to point everyone to a thread, because they cannot (or will not) read and use the search feature on forums.
Edit: There is no way to make CWM fully work for everyone with locked bootloaders.

Ok, thanx. It's good that you can boot to the recovery. What do you see in CWM when you try to flash anything?

How do you enter recovery? I tried some methods (see my post #23), any of them worked.
I install X-Parts and select "Reboot to recovery". When it starts to boot (at the same begining) I keep presing volume down button until phone vibrate once and blue led light. Phone enters to recovery after that
But you can't mount system meaning you can not install custom ROM or you find fully working CWM?

Usually, I think no. I thought that's a great deal about unlocking the bootloader was about. BUT, these days, as you can see in this thread alone, people find ways around everything. A locked bootloader disables fastboot, which I think is usually needed for that.
There could be a custom rom based on Sony's stock firmware. That could be flashed without flashing a new kernel.
May be MIUI ROM fit too on locked bootloader..., but first, need to get working CWM on locked BL!

I successfully rooted my Xperia P with locked bootloader while upgrading to ICS...
I will be very grateful if someone know how can we install CWM on our devices with locked bootloader?
I tried X-parts and RecoverX but without success
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards1
you can do a full wipe :
call *#*#7378423#*#*
Customisation Setting → reset customisation
or
fastboot.exe -w
or
use pc companion to repair device (this will also lead to full reset of the device)1
