Hi all,
First of all, I'd like to say thanks in advance, I'm kind of overwhelmed with this so any help would be gratefully received.
I wanted to install a custom ROM on my rooted Xperia Arc (LT15i). I installed ROM Manager and CWM on it, then i entered in recovery mode by using adb commands and i tried to install the ROM. Nevertheless, the process did not go well because now the phone gets stuck in Sony Ericsson welcome message and I can't enter again in recovery mode using adb commands besides I can't enter in recovery mode by holding buttons. So, what can I do?
It has solution??
Thank you,
Fernando.
By the way, what is the exact way to enter recovery mode in this certain mobile, because i have read few different things on the internet...
A) Hold back button and then power ?
B) Hold volume down and then power ?
Thank you.
PS: I made a backup before installing the ROM, It should be possible to recover it once i enter the recovery mode, right??

I rooted my device "Xperia x10 mini pro" using 'Unlock Root', unlocked Bootloader, installed BusyBox and Root Explorer. Installed xRecovey, CMW Recovery and whatever it was required to REBOOT into recovery.
Switched Off my phone & pressed back button when Sony Ericsson logo appeared but nothing happened. It didn't into recovery.
I am so disappointed now and don't know what to do to get into recovery
It would be a great help if you could let me out from my problem.
Thank You

You have to keep smashing the back button until the recovery appears.

hold power and vol up button and release power after it turned on if you come into recovery mode your done : )
None of these methods work for me.
I rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader, have xrecovery on it, I was even using the custom rom for a while, but when I tried to restart and enter recovery, I couldn't.
Now my rom will not even start up normally, and I can't get FlashTool to force it into recovery since the phone has to be turned on for flashtools to do that.
Am I seriously going to have to do the whole rooting procedure all over again?
EDIT: Solved omfg You really have to keep SMASHING that Back button, holding it does nothing!
Thnx, and God bless HTC.

Dear All,
Please help me regarding fastboot. When I press 3 keys (vol-up, vol-down and power key) while phone is off. I see the black and white screen written boot modes. From there when I select AP Fastbood device is restart with red Motorola logo and end up on home screen.. I have tried several times to turn off the device and repeat this process but no issue still there..
Moreover, if I did not select any options from boot modes than device automatically rebooted after 3 or 4 seconds..
Please help me out.. I want to unlock the boot loader root and install custom ROM..
Currently Model Number is XT925 and device is completely stock.. never rooted before...
thanks and regards,

After you use the volume down key to highlight "Fastboot", do you then press the volume up key to select it? If you just sit there and wait it will reboot normally. You must press the volume up key after you've highlighted the menu option.

try this,
-install adb on your pc
-plug in phone when powered up
- open a command prompt in your adb dir
- type in: adb devices then enter. it should show your phone in the prompt. also check your phone, there may be a popup to acknowledge.
- rerun adb devices until it shows your phone properly or you cant proceed
-now type in: adb reboot bootloader
if it works, the phone should reboot to the fastboot screen.
if it doesnt stick in fastboot, im sorry but i dont know what else to tell you to try.
Thank-you for the Response

Thankyou so much for the reply, i followed your instructions and finally get in fastboot mode and unlocked the boot loader. However, is there any way from which I can go into recovery.. because through hardware way I am unable to go in recovery. Thanks
EDIT: I have tried entering command adb reboot recovery, then phone was rebooted and there was green android on screen with chest open.. thats it... i have waited for few minutes and rebooted the device mannually.

That's the entry to stock recovery. You have to push a combination of buttons from there to get into recovery. I forget the button combination, it has been posted many times, try searching or wait for someone else to jump in with the answer.

Not sure where to post this question been reading so many post my eyes are tired......
- XT926 upgraded to kitkat 183.46 last week via flash in RSD from JB 4.1.2
- Root went well DONE (Towel root .apk)
- Unlock went well DONE (Motopocalypse .apk) yes fastboot shows the #3
- Flashed TWRP 2.7.1 DONE (did it using the adb in motopocolypse)
- Backed up my current stock ROM in TWRP seemed to go well the program confirmed the backup was successful...So I thought
- Got confident and wanted to try flashing CM11 (Kitkat version)
- After flashing CM11 my phone got stuck at boot like many others have.... no problem I backed up my stock ROM in TWRP.....So I thought
- Went to restore my stock ROM using TWRP and yup you guessed it like many others the restore failed half way through
Not a big deal starting fresh can be a good thing BUT I really need my old text messages and all I have is a USB backup of the phone (Internal/SDcard) on my PC and of course the TWRP back-up on the SDcard that won’t restore ...... Is there any way to get these messages back to my phone????

Not sure how to help you with your immediate problem at hand, but going forward, I definitely recommend the sms backup + from the Google Play Store. Nice thing with that app is, you can link it to your gmail account, and all your text messages are backed up to your gmail.
Hi Guys. I don't know that this the right place for this thread or no. sorry.
i have a xperia v device and its rooted. i installed philz touch cwm 6 on it and when i wanted to install cyanogenmod rom on it i wiped everything first, but in the middle of the installation it gave me this error: your device is mint. [status 7]
when i turned off the phone, i did everything to enter the recovery mode: pressing vol+, pressing vol-, holding vol+, holding vil- and...! but no fortune
and now when i turn it on it shows me the SONY logo and then a black screen.
I found the solution to [status 7] error, but i need to enter the recovery mode fisrt.
So please tell me, is there any other way to enter the recovery mode on rooted xperia V?
Thanks.
any sugestion is appreciated
My phone's home button broken .
I wanted to install stock rom after Archidroid v3. But i incorrectly shut down my phone after deleted wipe and caches. So now phone switched off and has broken home button. How can i enter recovery mode without home button? Normally (if it not switched off) i can enter recovery mode with 3rd partition app.
Please help me for this. I cant use my phone.
*I think only one solution is changed/new home button.But i am not sure it is broken because it didnt work after custom rom.
Thanks guys.

If your power button still works then boot into your phone, then you can connect your device to PC and use adb to boot to recovery by typing:
adb reboot recovery
then press enter and it should boot to recovery.
or you can install the terminal emulator and type:
su
then press enter(grant superuser permission when prompted)
reboot recovery
then press enter and you'll boot to recovery.
