Recovery won't work - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey xda I know the xperia play with a locked bootloader can't have a true recovery so I installed it with xparts. However the app says it was installed and I reboot to recovery within the app the modified cwm doesn't show up. My device is an R800x that is of course rooted and is on 2.3.3

See the above thread. Try installing CWM installer v5, that worked for me. The apk. is in the OP. Post 601 might help in that thread.

It installed with v5 and I cannot find the bin file he is talking about. It'll reboot to recovery now

Sweet I got all of it from that post and it all works. Hopefully pvyParts fixes this issues soon and adds official support for the R800 series.

I very much doubt you here anything. Maybe you hear something?
What shows up in ROM Manager is up to a ROM's developers And in the case of MIUI, the sticky message on forums.miui-dev.com which announces the new release requests: "PLEASE do not post direct links to the download or mirrors on other sites. I am trying to keep track of as much information as possible. Thanks!".
So go to MIUI-dev.com to get that site's fruits.
Installs with cwm 3, runs awesome with chads newest!

Was that a serious answer?
To simplify:
Q. "What kernel should I use"
A. "Use one of the kernels"
That's essentially what you just said.
@OP Use either the standard kernel that comes in the .rar (called boot.img) OR use the mjolnir kernel. (I'm talking about CM9 only here).
I'm using boot.img inside the zip of rom. Thanks!

(I don't know if I have have locked/unlocked bootloader, just picked one guide.)
So my problem is that I can't get CWM to work. Here's what I did (I have done everything before 4, ie I flashed the nr 1. file then the 1b file):
1- Install X-Parts from android market on my phone
2- Opened it, went to the install tab & pressed "install CWM".
3- Went to tools & clicked reboot.
4- Opened x-parts again & clicked tools, then "reboot to recovery".
5- It just reboots normally!?
There was a problem with the latest version of x parts don't know if they fixed it...try and look for an earlier version
Try pressing volume button when blue LED lights up with a vibration.

So you're saying that despite installing X-parts, your phone won't boot into recovery?
Which version of X parts did you use? I don't think the ones after version 5 work so it might be worth trying version 5

Yes, i used CWM version 5.0.2.7_r2 staock GB recovery and still nothing R800i .58 v2 enhanced just as this tutorial needs.
I don't know what the issue could be. It worked for me and others when using the Version 5 apk from the OP in the above mentioned thread.

the message is displayed IT works only with Rooted phones please help..me!!!
Now what to do too root the device??
By installing cm10 realize you are rooted. There is an issue with some builds that broke superuser, go to the thread you downloaded cm10 from and look for the fix or flash a different build/rom that doesn't have this issue

Try reflashing the ROM and see if that fixes that.
