CWM for Xperia Miro beta ( Works on Phones with Locked / Unlocked bootloader)

CWM for Xperia Miro beta​
Installation
Download the attached zip file
Unzip It
Connect you phone in usb debugging mode to pc
Windows users double click install.bat
Linux users use terminal to run install.sh
How to use
Connect the charger to your phone
Power off
Now the phone will shutdown and automatically boot to offline charging mode. When you see the sony logo press vol - button repeatedly.
Now you should be in cwm recovery
Warning : I have'nt tested installing any rom using recovery since no custom rom is currently available for Xperia Miro.
Warning : Do not install any custom rom that doesnot support this recovery. If you do so you may endup with a phone that cannot boot to recovery
Warning : Do not format system partition. Since this cwm is installed inside system partition, cwm will also be erased
For ROM developers
copy sh file inside files folder to system/xbin
Copy other files inside files folder to system/bin
Go to META-INF/com/google/android/ and you will find updater-script
Add the following lines to it
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/recovery.tar")
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/battery_charging")
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/battery_charging_help")
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/xbin/sh")
Donot use custom kernel or ramdisk. You should not modify boot partition

Before testing new custom ROM do check whether the restore function is working fine. Use advanced restore and restore system partition. If it fails then its not safe to test new custom ROMs

You have to have the charger connected to the phone in order to get access to CWM.

Bro great

great job...:good::good:

Where`s the download link

Update info about recovery loop
-I don't know what reason make CWM ruin boot flags so Device will boot to recovery instead of normal boot.
to minimal the chance you should manually mount /system
-Will test on new update script. The old script marks as error in cwm error log...

Tried using custom graphics source for recovery ?

Nice waiting for it for so long....btw shudnt this be in original development section

So,I can start to install roms and other things with this recovery but just mount /system before do it?

[CWM][AROMA] KERNEL FLASHER v3 |Xperia Miro,Tipo(/Dual),J,E| Kernel Devs Take a Look!

Kernel Flasher​
MAKE SURE TO SWITCH BOOT.IMG ACCORDING TO DESIRED KERNEL FOR YOUR DEVICE or else enjoy soft brick
This works for Tipo out-of-the-box as it includes Tipo Vengeance kernel! ADDED V2
Download (Included Vengeance 1.46 [TIPO])​Requirements:
Brain
Tipo OR Miro OR J
USB Cable or 3G/WiFi
WinRAR/7Zip/ES File Explorer
Unlocked bootloader
How to (difficulty level: Captain America):
Extract zip (in "extracted" folder)
Go to "kernel" folder in the "extracted" folder
Delete the boot.img there
Find the kernel you want to flash (can be in .elf and .img format)
Rename it to boot.img
Copy Step 5 boot.img to "kernel" folder in "extracted" folder (HAHA Stay calm and count to step five!)
Compress to zip the two folders in "extracted" folder (namely "META-INF" and "kernel")
Copy to /sdcard
Reboot to recovery > Install zip from sdcard (for CWM) > Find and select zip > Yes

after instalations-no change! kernel 3.0.8 acceleration-no

@wergon This is ROM independent stuff. @c4cyro I'll do it when I have time (quite soon) @zeetwo-raj Thanks!

This is for JLO
This updater-script is from fxp240 for JLO, thanks ^^

@c4cyro Looks like this installer is universal as the location of kernel is the same: mmcblk0p3 (the same as this and FXP tipo one!) WARNING: Make sure you change kernel before trying it out (as the kernel is Tipo - Vengeance) or else you'll probably end up flashing a whole stock firmware with complete loss of data a mesona kernel with fastboot .

Now I just need a Xperia E (Single and Dual also) FXP Updater-Script to make sure this is universal for devices in this section though.

you mean if i want to flash kernel "x.img" then i have to first remove the boot.img from this zip, place the x.img into this, and then flash the zip in cwm. right?

But this is useless... everyone can just flash kernel using flashtool or console

^ i think its handy when you dont have pc , fastboot drivers etc installd.

To use this tool you need unlocked BL, to unlock BL you need fastboot drivers so you are wrong.
An another try of giving sth people that they don't realy need.

Try and learn to give respect to developers, this is not a useless tool.
What if you have an unlock bootloader and now have 2 or 3 kernels to test out without a PC? It can be achieved with this.
What if you are a kernel developer and want to test out many builds of your kernel?
Once unlocked remains unlocked you don't have to reunlock bootloader again and again.

Just curious to know is it possible to replace boot.img in mobile? Any app to do that?

If you make a file or edit a updater script add this it will flash boot.img

[GUIDE][SCRIPT] Install/Restore 4.1/4.2 ROMs without Odin

If you want to install or restore a CM10.1-based or stock-based ROM while you are on CM10.2/11 based ROM without using Odin you are into right place.
Automatic process with Recovery-flashable zip:
Download Format-Preload-RecoveryModeV2.zip and put it into sdcard
Reboot device in recovery and install the zip, no need to reboot after flashing
Now you can install or restore any CM10.1-based ROM!!
Semi-automatic process with Linux/Windows script - needs ADB
To use only if Automatic process doesn't work for you
Reboot device in recovery and connect to USB
Download Format zip depending on your OS. Then:
On Windows: Extract zip, copy extracted file to the same directory where is ADB executable and double click .bat
On Linux: Extract zip where you want, for example your home directory, and run it in Terminal with . PreloadFormat.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Manual process with ADB
To use only if either Automatic and Semi-automatic don't work for you
Boot device into recovery mode, connect it to USB
Open ADB and type in order:
Code:
[B]adb devices[/B] (to be sure that device is recognized, you see some numbers followed by "recovery" word)
[B]adb shell
su
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
mkfs
(now wait 2 sec and confirm with Y)
9
ext2[/B]
Little explanation: Preload partition is used as swap partition from CM10.2 and up in our device, without formatting it (format /preload when is a swap partition doesn't work in CWM, at least for me. Parted can't format in ext4, so we need to format in ext2) you get bootloop when you install/restore a 10.1 ROM.

There is one more way too without using pc and adb..
Boot into recovery and format /system.(optional)
Now install any CM10.1 ROM on top of CM10.2.
Then go to advance option in CWM recovery and choose "reboot recovery".
Now when phone reboots into recovery, go to mount and storage and format /preload and /data.
Now reboot.
The rom will boot up normally.
I was on carbon ROM and successfully booted the MIUI using the following method..
Thanks to @Toni5830 for letting me know this method..

Yes, it doesn't work on CM10.1 too! Maybe because my device is repartitioned and /preload space is around 128 KB.

CM10.2 and CM11 uses preload partition as swap, so you can install CM11/10.2 based ROM over CM11/10.2 based ROM without using this. You can't downgrade to previous versions without this or flashing stock firmware.
