can't get into CWM.

either ends up in safe mode (?! which is bad, it messed up loads of settings) or just boots normally.

have tried pressing button repeatedly and holding. Volume Down.

any ideas please? clearly too stupid for this.

 

[Smiff2]

utilis to reboot into recovery e.g. quick boot, or the button in rom customizer, don't work either.

any way to check if cwm installed?

locked bl?
would rather not mess with kernel that ran really badly when i was rooting.

Try tapping on Sony logo when booting.

 

[umair42]

When sony logo appears,repeatedly press the volume down button until cwm recovery appears.
Hope this helps.

yeah i think that's what i'm doing. Sony logo or Xperia logo? do you let go at the vibrate or before? how fast do you tap?

holding too long just puts you into Safe Mode and breaks my widgets and some other things!

Good news! You installed recovery correctly, but in order to enter recovery, you must mash the volume down button as soon as Sony logo appears.

You must tap it really fast!!!

Hit thanks button if I helped you :good:

 

[Smiff2]

i'll try that later thanks.

can no apps get you into Recovery on Xperia ICS? always how i did it with my Blade/G300.. even have a reboot to recovery option on shutdown menu in CM7. saves any hassle with timing etc.

i was pressing VolDown pretty fast.

Sorry mister, but no shortcut from OS to CWM working on locked BL with Xperia U AFAIK

its ROM dependent.

what is different?

not rly familiar w the U bc I'm from the arc forum, but as far as I know, cm and miui can reboot into recovery. don't think stock or stock based can though

what is different?

i don't know. i was asking if the way to access CWM in ICS/b.54 would be different than other roms, perhaps explaining why i can't access CWM?

just found Cerberus as root needs to be installed from zip using CWM (or complicated console method), so another reason to get this working!

thanks

 

[tangosierra_]

nope. all the same

Repeated pressing as soon as sony logo appears

Led bar turning on during charging is very annoying, especially when I'm trying to use the phone at night. Using quiet hours doesn't switch it off, anybody know any other way to switch it off? Other then that I love this rom, sooo smooth and the customisation is endless.
Thanks!!

Repeatedly pressing vol down while the phone is showing sony logo will get you into recovery. itll vibrate and the led bar will show illumination.try reflashing cwm if its not working

 

[Smiff2]

thanks i'll try again tonight, not my phone which is making things difficult, i can't play with it whenever i like..

 

[Smiff2]

nope, still can't do it. phone boots like this:

flash from light bar > SONY > XPERIA > screen dims > light bar > lockscreen

when exactly do you press, and how fast?


UPDATE : SOLVED, wasn't installed right

Odp: too stupid to get into CWM touch on a U

nope, still can't do it. phone boots like this:

black > SONY > Experia > blue light > lockscreen

When you press on button and feel quick vibrate, you must pressing volume down.
