Request to developers: Port CWM for our device - Sony Xperia C

As you might know, this device doesn't have CWM, only a bad stock recovery which is pretty much unusable and very limited, so my request to the developers is to port CWM for our device or TWRP. There is CWM out for other devices with this chipset, so it will be possible to create CWM for us also I think.

have you tried the CWM by superdragonpt? found here:

Like I said earlier, the chance of that this device has a unlocked bootloader is high as I have even managed to flash a corrupt recovery.

Just a thought. Has any one tried any type of bootstrap and/or boot hijack method of recovery? Something like safestrap, etc? I don't have the device, I was just doing some research for a friend that purchased one of these yesterday.

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?

Having used Odin and kdz I can say that KDZ is *RISKY*
It is maybe equivalent to Odin by the reference to the work they both do
And yeah you can create a nandroid backup of froyo

I would not want anything risky (everything is risky, but I prefer to take it to a minimum level ) as this is not my phone. Do you recommend flashing custom recovery through rom manager?

ROM manager has resulted in 100s of bricks (maybe more)
Don't use ROM manager on LGp500
You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.recovery.installation.utility
Download amonra 3.06 and extract the recovery.IMG
Then use the above app

z4root didn't work either, progressed alittle bit, then crashed to the launcher and the app became inaccessible. Tried twice.
EDIT: Superoneclick worked, proceeding now to recovery installation.

I'm sorry to bump this after so long, I just didn't have the courage to flash the recovery (when I got stuck on the fastboot screen I thought that the device is going to the trash can), I have now CWM v5.0.2.0 but I get a message:
E:Bad boot message
"recovery"
Is it safe to proceed? what does this message mean?

I don't like *any* of the Jenkins builds as they are pathetically slow for me even on fresh installations
According to me you should either try Oxygen ICS or Rashed97's CM10
Remember the above ROMs are of my personal preference
And if you are inclined to use Jenkins build *try* them

Do remember trimming the ROM before flashing gapps and then thanking my post otherwise you may get possible bootloop
And flash the oldBB fix after flashing the ROM (search it)

[Q] [Suggesttion] Could we port a CWM to Xperia E!

Hi!
I have an idea which could work (possibly ), if we (someone) can port a cwm that is made for another device for locked bootloader like Xperia Z then could we successfully make it work. This works on a locked bootloader because instead of installing cwm on the boot partition as you would normally do with an unlocked bootloader, you would install it on the system partition.
You can do this for many other devices so could some devs possibly port cwm.
Thanks!
Nice !!. I am looking for exactly this... Please devs try something please!

Just to answer your question there are only those two recoverys (Well never heard of any other ones if so someone can correct me if I am wrong). And why would you need another recovery anyway xD
