how to remove cwm in xperia tipo or tipo dual

i recently installed the CWM for Xperia Tipo beta on my xperia tipo dual
installation is ok from link http://73ea6722.yyv.co/
recovery is also done by it on xperia tipo dual :good:
backup and restore from external memory card is ok:good:
but if any one want to update xperia ROM (through update service by sony)
then he has to enter into boot menu at startup
but as you press vol down key you entered into cwm
For that you have to remove your cwm
so that you have to do this..................
1.Go to system/bin and remove battery_charging,
2.rename battery_charging_help to battery_charging.
3.Also remove recovery.tar.
alternate
1.connect your phone to PC Companion
2.click on support....
3.click on update
4.click on repair
you will loose all your settings,contact and sms......

The easiest way to enter flashboot mode is to power off the device completely, hold down the vol-down key then insert the USB cable. Works every time. You don't need to delete anything.

Thanks....

You need to flash ftf with Flashtool for your Tipo and it will be as new.
Good Luck.

[Q] Sony XPERIA Tipo bootloop cannot enable USB debugging

I have a Sony XPERIA Tipo and I have recently installed the correct CyanogenMod but I installed it wrong as I didn't first use the boot image. I have tried Sony PC Companion but it cannot find the correct firmware for my device, I have also tried other ways but they require using USB debugging which unfortunately I cannot enable using my phone. Does anyone know a way I can turn it on with my PC?

This did not work as PC companion doesn't update a phone without flash mode enabled, and as I said before PC companion doesn't work

Try sony update service it is quite automated

I have also tried this and it did not work

It would work with Sony Emma Flash Tool but it doesn't currently support my phone, thanks you those of you who tried to help me. If anyone has any other ideas then feel free to reply as it might be a while before Emma becomes V1 instead of Beta.

Use Flashtools but in this time try the next
pull the battery , connect (when the program ask) and hold the volume key till the program starts to flash
Sorry for my bad english

Did you manage to repair your phone? I am facing the same problem.

Yes I did, I found a stock .ftf and I used flashtool

Unbrick Tipo
I ran into this problem at night, and I tried out a LOT of suggestion, but nothing had work. So, I figured it myself...
History: updated JBMP ROM, and it's got bootloop, w/o CWM, or any recovery... Bootloader open. Flashtool sad: Error in processHeader : 22 : Device could not recognize command or Read error :31 : Attached device not working
1a: download Flashtool, install it
1b: find and download a Stock ftf, copy/move to Flashtool/Firmwares
2: Start Flashtool
3: click "Flash" symbol, choose Flashmode
4: select Stock ftf
5: make sure to CHECK under misc: "no final verification" AND "reset customization"
6: hit Flash button, and wait to prompted to connect phone
7: press and hold Vol- while connect phone to PC
Then the flash process should be starting, and finishing fine. This steps restored my bricked Tipo back to life. Just in case, re-root, and install CWM.
Warning: first boot take some times, be patient! Make sure to do another reboot after first boot up.
Hope it's help.

Try another USB cable/port. Sometimes this can cause problems, like Yours... If not use, try another PC. And if possible, use Windows 7.

It Worked!

[Q] Bootloader Bricked

My phone is Sony Xperia M2 (Single Sim) D303
I'm on android 4.4.2 and booted Doomlord kernel which was for android 4.3 So my phone got stuck in a loop. After factory reset(hoping it would work ) i can't enter fastboot mode. hoping for advice on how to enter fastboot mode and on someone with Sony Xperia M2 kernel so i can restore boot the stock kernel. Or on some other advice to help me get my phone working again. Right now im getting "device unauthorized" and can't even enter adb commands.
Flash tool doesn't recognise phone. It'd be helpful if someone even knows how to shut down the phone.
I got CWM recovery. So no longer got CWM but can now get into fastboot. Still no ADB and im stuck on Sony image.
Please help me.Thanks in advance.

Have you tried what I suggested in this thread?

My phone is a black screen right now. Can't shut it down,reboot, use adb commands, fastboot or anything. I'm worried if the power reaches 0% it could not even start up again. I'll try it tough, but really looking for diffrent options right now. I would try and flash it but i need to turn phone on and off for flash. I currently can't even do that. Phone doesn't start in flash mode. Maybe i should give it to someone for repairs but it'd probably cost me well over 200$.

I also need some MTP (i think thats it) drivers... Kinda strange don't know what im doing but sometimes i got the drivers and sometimes i don't

flashtool has all drivers needed from what I know. If you want to access phone data, MTP is the protocol used, and that should work out of the box.
Also, to flash the ftf you can use flashmode, so even if fastboot doesn't work, maybe flashmode will.
How do you know the phone is on btw? The only thing I to fix it is to flash ftf in flashmode, but you could wait if someone else has another idea.

The phone has a red light on and the screen is lighted black. I tried flashmode but i need to turn phone on and off for it to enter flashmode... I can't do that becouse buttons don't work for some reason. And i had all the drivers but since factory reset i lost them all (don't know how it works) well i got em all back without the MTP and can't install it with flashtool tried already. Also can't enter adb commands. It's like the phone is stuck on end of a loop. It's not looping the logo it's just stuck on the black screen after the logo and doesn't budge like an Iron Brick.

Answer
if you have kernel with CWM you can download flashable zip with rom and just copy zip to sdcard a then flash it in CWM.

Maybe you can try this,
1. Turn Power button and Vol Up, until first vibrate, keep hold it, and you will feel three times vibration. Now your device is off.
2. Open Flashtool, enter flash mode (push Vol Down and connect your device), reflash your ftf (if you are using DoomLord kernel that supposed to be 4.4.2 ftf), after flash is done, disconnect the cable and redo #1 (above).
3. Push Vol Up and connect your device to enter fastboot mode.
4. After that, go flash DoomLord Boot Kernel. When finished, disconnect your cable, but do not turn on your device yet.
5. Turn on and repeatedly push Vol Down to enter Recovery, go to install from sd card, and install SuperSU-Update.zip file (you must already have SuperSu-update.cip in your external sd)
6. After install supersu, you should go to advanced and choose power off instead of reboot it.
7. Do #2 again, but this time, when choosing the ftf, keep in mind that only kernel and loader to be flash (untick only for Cache, Data and Kernel). And do flash.
8. Turn on your device, and now your 4.4.2 is rooted.

[Q] Black screen. Please Help.

Hi guys I rooted my Z3 and installed TWRP so i could install a custom rom. So I downloaded the ROM, booted to TWRP, wiped everything, then installed the ROM. It said everything was successful so I rebooted my phone. Now there is a black screen. When I hold the power button, the phone vibrates for a second but nothing happens. When I plug my phone in, there is a red flashing light. What do I do?? Please help me.

That has a custom kernel so you need to unlock the bootloader to flash it.
To repair it you can restore the backup you must have taken in recovery before flashing the rom
or
Flash a stock FTF in flashtool from flashtool.net
or
Force a software repair using PCCompanion.

The custom kernel should have recovery in it (Probably) so you can try entering by pressing the volume up or down button when you reboot the phone.
EDIT, my mistake, the kernel is not booting.
Flash a stock FTF ending in .93, root, install recovery and restore the backup
or
Force a software repair using PCCompanion, downgrade, root, install recovery, restore backup

OK im in flashtool but when i plug my phone in to flash, it asks for drivers, but I have all the drivers installed. What should I do? http://gyazo.com/29bbe3a0b82d333acc8efe03be4275c5

goto C:\flashtool\drivers
run drivers.exe
choose Z3, fastboot and flashmode drivers
restart PC and try again.
Also, it would help if you show the whole log from flashtool.....

The recovery you're booting to is not a custom recovery ,anyway I'll giude to installing I'll give some useful links.
First if all you need to unlock your bootloader go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955
You may run in a bootloop (the phone stuck at bootanimation)
Just flash the stock ftf via flashtool .
Now go here and take the first method , it will guide how to install CM12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63769485&postcount=2
Remember that the first may take sometime so don't pullout the batterybattery.
Good luck:highfive:
