Thanks for this. It works great.
FYI, if you want to do this on a Mac or Linux, just make sure you have the Android SDK installed and you can use ADB. Plug in your device and unzip the file to a known folder. You can copy the Mac/Linux adb binary into the files/ folder or just execute from wherever it is and push the files to the phone:
Run a shell
And in there execute the installer script as root (if your phone screen lights up, it's because SuperSU wants you to grant the shell permission to use root. Make sure you Grant access)
Make sure the cwm-install.sh script finishes with a SUCCESS message. If you get an error, check out the log in /data/local/tmp/cwm-install.log.
And done. Phone will reboot and you can access recovery by pressing any button when blue LED lights, while booting device.

I just found out that when using this CWM I cannot flash anything in recovery or backup anything in recovery if the memory card is in exFAT format. It says that it cannot mount the card. Everything works fine if the card is formatted as FAT32.
Thanks for sharing, i'll update the op when I get home.

Yea i wanna know too...
what's the difference between this CWM and the CWM on the other thread?
I have a c6506 unbranded with unlockable bootloader, which version should i use, this thread or the one on the other thread?
I've flashed CM on nexus devices and htc devices before but whats the correct order for me to flash CM on the ZL?
Correct me plz if the order is wrong, here is what i think i should do:
1. Backup the DRM keys for the sony bravia engine
2. Unlock bootloader
3. Install CWM (Should i use the CWM on this thread or the one in the other thread by doomlord?)
4. Wipe and flash CM 10.1 kernel
5. flash CM 10.1
I'm not sure about the differences between the two CWM but I can confirm that this works even if you unlocked the bootloader previously.
Would it be possible to mod this so that it flashes TWRP instead? Everytime I use CWM it feels so antiquated...
hey
i just wanted to ask that with locked bootloaders and this version of CWM, it is not possible to flash CM10 because it needs kernel flashing right?

Correct. You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a different boot image

Is v2.3a is only v2.1 with charger fix?
I flashed the charger zip but it was no use. I still can't charge properly when the device is off
