ADB Driver tested on :

- Xperia Neo
- Live With Walkman
- Xperia Mini Pro

The Above one is the Easier Method and below is the old copying method using Root Explorer :


Installation *Requires Root
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.

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.


Notes to everyone:

Do NOT use this recovery if you are not in Stock 2.3 firmware.

Still No Roms which support installation via CWM Recovery for Neo v.... I dont know for NEO. IF ROM Supports,Yes you can Install

No its not the same.... Its permanent one

Ok, trying it. I'm working on the installation, in a spanish forum, of custom roms based on stock kernel in phones with lock bootloader via convert them to recovery files and it's a shame that i need to reinstall recovery every time. Thanks.

IT WORKED Its all good looking with cyan color

for those who r are unable to enter recovery , try this

1. switch off your phone
2. press the power button & quickly start pressing the VOLUME DOWN button untill RECOVERY appears
( i started pressing volume button way before i saw SONY ERICSSON logo )

BUTTON BEHAVIOR ON NEO V

back button : back
home button : select option
menu button : scroll down
volume up/down : scroll up/down

Worked here too xD

 

[siddharthsure93]

Root Done...............Cwm done.........Where is the Development section and ROMS Am waiting for that

 

[vimjam]

Ok not to shatter the fun but , installing custom Roms (cm7 , mini) will need unlocked bootloader ,so if bootloader is locked no custom Roms

But we can backup/ restore stock Roms , install flashable theme tweaks

Problem is new kernel installation. I installed CM7 with this metod and works, but the lack of good kernel for that rom makes it useless

maybe stupid question, but will this work on festa's tweaked rom?

 

[Elessar76]

Bootloader locked, installed via conversion to recovery .img file. I know that cm7 NEEDS bl open and custom kernel. Made it for curiosity.

No, U r Wrong Dude........... U can install custom Roms like cm7..etc with CWM (with locked bootloader).. The only thing u cant install with locked bootloader is custom kernels...

I have an x10 mini pro(locked bootloader) with CWM..... Am using custom roms like cm7 and i have installed several Roms via CWM..

SO all we need Now is a CWM compatible ROM

Search in xperia play Forum if its not there its worth Trying....bcz it works on all 2.3 SE phones.....SO give it a Try.. If its not compatible,, Dont worry the phone will boot but u cant enter into CWM.... SO Give it a TRY USE THE "cmd" which is for ARC/Neo/Neo V ....... Not the other one

 

[Qwerty123 \m/]

Is anyone working on a ROM for Neo V ???
I'm desperate for CM7 :
Thanks

Ya me too........But, ppl need to know that CWM is released for locked bootloader first.......Still i cant find any thread relating this in other forums like arc.....etc. Damm.....cant wait for CM7
