thnx for your reply how to flash it from CWM recovery mode ?
i believe for your phone you must shutdown your phone and after its closed press vol up + call key (and tap power button to turn on the phone)
That should take you to 'bootloader'. There should be a 'recovery' option there, that will take you to CWM recovery. The CWM recovery should have a black background with orange text(it could also be blue text).
If so, then you're in CWM recovery. Just go to 'Install from sdcard' and 'choose from sdcard' (or something like that), then choose the CM7 .zip file.
Make sure you make a backup before flashing the ROM. Backup can also be made from CWM recovery, its one of the options
Make sure you have CWM recovery flashed on your phone.
You can be sure by going into ROM Manager and in the first option 'Flash CWM recovery', it should be written 'Current Recovery: ClockworkMod x.x.x.x'
If thats not written, then you need to click the first option and flash the CWM recovery (u'll need a internet connection for that)
IT IS not going to recovery mode it 1st hang to ideos screen then rebot to simple mode

choose the version of your phone
and its ok , we were all there at one point!
for info on how to use CWM recovery and stuff - CLICK HERE
still it is not showing recovery mode
Like codenameunknown said, but try this also:
Info
Getting into recovery
while the device is off...
Press and hold the Volume Up + Call Key
TAP << not hold >> the power button
Don't let go of the Volume Up + Call Key until device light up
Generally it'll always end up in recovery if the Volume Up + Call Keys are held down when the device powers. Doesn't matter how it powered on, whether via power button, usb cable, reboot etc.
while the device is on...
via Rom Manager
Does ROM Manager say 'Current Recovery:'
if so, the you have CWM recovery on your phone.
The link i provided says that
Getting into recovery:
while the device is off...
*Press and hold the Volume Up + Call Key
*TAP << not hold >> the power button
*Don't let go of the Volume Up + Call Key until device light up
Generally it'll always end up in recovery if the Volume Up + Call Keys are held down when the device powers. Doesn't matter how it powered on, whether via power button, usb cable, reboot etc.

dude i knw after install rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery i cant go to recovery mode before that it was all good
the link i provided says that your phone IS supported.
Is your version of ROM Manager updated? (im not sure if that will help, but just try, it wont hurt!)
If it still doesnt want to show, you can manually flash the CWM recovery onto your phone. I would tell you how, but im not familiar with your phone.
EDIT:
i searched for a manual way for you to flash it, and ended up with this thread... CLICK HERE . Although this thread also says that the phone is fully supported in ROM Manager now. But it also give you a way to manually flash it

how to connect pc to android in bootloader mode ????? when i open install-recovry-windows.bat of ultrajack or all other i hav tried all others nuthing happened
Hello,
Im was trying to boot in recovery mode for try to flash some rom and i get the menu of the "Android system recovery". How to do:
1. Root your xoom2/xyboard
2. Install quickboot from market place
3. Run quickbot and push on reboot on recovery mode
Then your xoom2/xyboard boots and load the android with a warning flag, dont be panic is normal
Now push Vol up. and Vol down at same time, you get a blue menu with the "Android system recovery".
The next step im trying to do is to backup the rom that is using now so i try to flash the same rom for testing purpose. Anyone knows how to make this dump?
Im very noob in this, only write this for share what i know and try new things.
Best Regards.
Hi, i did have my phone root some time and everything was perfect, but i tried to install some updates and it did go wrong. I couldnt get into recovery mode anymore, i could install recovery img. and no errors, but when trying to enter recovery the screen is white with green htc logo. I then installed stock ICS and the phone works okey, the HBOOT (volume down and power on) says unlocked and S-OFF, but i cant enter recovery mode and i have installed recovery img from fastboot and with HTC One X software, but no luck. When trying to start clockworkmod i get error that some su folders dont exist, thats why i want to go into recovery to install su-2.3.6.3xxxxx BUT I CANT, HELP! Is it possible to install su from the HBOOT, it search for some PG58xx.img files when entering, can i trick the phone to install su with renaming it to that?
So when u goto su it says u have no root? Have u tried to install 4ext? Or try adb to recovery
try step #2 from this thread (only step #2)
With EXT4 i was able to get into recovery again, thanx. I had tried CWM5.8.4.0 and TWRP 2.1.7 without any luck. I then installed the SU from recovery, now the error about directory didnt exist in Clockworkmod is gone, BUT i still get error like "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
Solved. I had to install su binary 3.1.1
Revolutionary ran but small problems
I followed the directions on how to root my Sensation by using Revolutionary. I also installed the ClockworkMod when asked at the end of the Revolutionary process. My present situation is this: According to Revolutionary (when I load it up again) I am already S-Off...what are you trying to do message appears. After that I tried to install Set CPU but it said it could not get the correct permissions (I also installed superuser but don't now how to add permissions, I think it would ask automatically if I was properly rooted). I checked the root status with Root Check basic and it said NO.
Lastly, if I try to start the phone up in fasboot mode (power button/volume down depressed nothing happens until I release both and it goes into a regular Android boot mode. If I go into Revolutionary and do the clockwordmod installation again and ask the phone to reboot into fasboot it works...but when I shut the phone down and try to get in fasboot mode.....doesn't happen.
My phone works fine otherwise.
Any ideas anyone?
Thank you.

you are getting completely confused with SOFF and root to device
understand the terms
here read the below guide
Android Terms
now the clockworkmod you have isa custom recovery ..it wont root your device
now to go to bootloader/fastboot using power + volume down buttons ..you need to first uncheck fastboot from settings->power
one you go to bootloader ..you go to recovery from there (that is cwm ..and you need to flash a root zip file )
then you will have root on the phone
EDIT: SOFF means security off ..once you gain that ..you can change the recovery to a custom one ..also you can flash custom roms ...

Insted to uncheck fastboot, take out the battery (and the charger), insert the battery, vol down + power on.
root zip file is the same as SU.something(3.1.1)binary.zip, correct?
Rooted
I fiddled with the phone a little more last night and determined that I might not have had a good install of superuser. I downloaded a different file from a different source, installed it and a different file for CWM and voila...I have root. I still don't have the ability to go into fastboot by holding the power button and volume down button at boot up. The screen just remains black and when I let go of the buttons, it vibrates and goes into the standard boot up.
Also, is anyone using Set CPU on this phone? I guess I have to disable Perflock or something....is it ok to disable this?
Thanks all for your responses.

You have to put the phone realy off first. Remove the charger, takeoutthe battery and then insert the bat. and try voldown+poweron. OR uncheck the fastboot option in the settings.
Both worked

You are 100% correct, thank you. Taking out the battery worked and so did turning off the fastboot option on the power menu in settings.
Thanks so much guys. It's nice to know you can submit a problem on a comment board and people will give you straight answers without making counterproductive comments.
One more subject....Is it OK to disable Perflock so SET CPU or ANUTU CPU controller can correctly recognize the CPU frequencies? And do these programs provide beneficial processing power and/or extended battery life? Any maximum setting recommended for overclocking?
Thanks again!
Hi,
I am new to this site and fairly new to rooting and stuff and need assistance with my Sony Xperia S (LT26i). If i am not in the right pace for this please point me in the right direction. I have installed a custom rom and custom recovery which let me upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.3 which was working fine then when I flashed a different custom rom after that to get 4.4.1 I lost access to my custom recovery. The main issue is that I need help with changing the custom rom I have installed, for some reason I can no longer boot into TWRP or CWM (using power + vol up), the phone simply boots normally and skips the whole process therefore I cannot flash anything. I have looked for hours over the net on how to get into recovery but could not find a solution.
I also assumed that when installing custom recovery and custom roms that you would need to be rooted but when I check with Root Checker it says that I am not. So any assistance would be great

Do you know of any other site where I can get the firmware from?, when I try and extract the file after I download it it's corrupted. I have tried multiple times with no luck.

Here is 4.0.4
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetLThpYzEwZUh5aTg/edit
steps:
how to install the newest Android 4.0.4 for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
a) first of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the newest one, you do not need this tutorial)
b) download and install latest Flashtool from here (mirrors Google Drive or Mega)
c) download also latest Android 4.0.4 (mirror) for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
d) paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
e) open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
f) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
g) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
Here you got 3 ways to update good luck

Ok so I successfully downloaded the firmware file but I got an error when using the flash tool, I have attached the log if you can maybe help me out with what went wrong.

The clue's in the error message - you don't have the required drivers installed.
There's a directory named "drivers" under the main flashtool dir. Run flashtool-drivers.exe and install the appropriate drivers. I think "Common Drivers Viskan Board" is the one you need. I ended up installing all of them to get it to flash (which took ages).
Ok so I got it to work, all I had to do was hold down the vulumn down button for like an extra 5 seconds while it began to flash
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

Hello again
So I have successfully rooted the device and installed TWRP but as before I cannot seem to get into the recovery mode, when I boot the phone with "power and vol +" it doesn't boot into recovery but instead there is a quick glimpse of what I think is the recovery mode (I cant actually see it but something happens for a split second) but it flashes past way too fast then goes to the normal Sony logo and continues booting normally. I have tried this like at least 20 times in the last 2 weeks and have researched other ways to boot into recovery but I can't seem to find anyone with an answer. Do you know what could fix this? Or is there a way to boot into recovery using a computer?
