How to put CyanogenMod on your Xperia device

I will be telling you how to put CM 10 on your device without root, as root will automatically come to your device when you are done with CMing. This method works for every phone. I used FXP208-cm-10-20130223-UNOFFICIAL-anzu.zip for my Xperia Arc LT15i. Just check under the project status tab if you want to know if your device is supported. You can also use CM 9, 8 or 7 if you like, the method is the same. Please consider the fact that that this will void your phone's warranty. (Who cares?)
Note:
You do not need root for this.
You need to unlock your phone's bootloader for this.

Google Apps goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
Sorry I could not put links... I am not new to Android and CM but I am new to xda so they did not let me put links
Instructions:
1. Extract the CyanogenMod zip and Fastboot zip files to a convenient location.
2. Copy boot.img from the CM folder to the Fastboot folder. There should now be 5 files in the Fastboot folder.
3. Connect your phone to your computer as you normally would.
4. Place Google apps and CM on the root of your SD card in .zip file format.
5. Disconnect your phone and reconnect in fastboot mode. Just search Google for how to connect phone in Fastboot mode.
6. Go to the Fastboot folder. Open a command window and hold the shift button and right-click.
7. Select the " Open command window here " option.
8. Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot image will be flashed to your phone. Disconnect your phone from PC
9. Boot your phone. When the FreeXperia logo comes press the back button like CRAZY until your phone goes into ClockworkMod recovery.
10. Go to advanced. Select 'wipe dalvik cache' and select yes.
11. Go back to main menu and select 'wipe data/factory reset' and select yes.
12. At the main menu select 'wipe cache partition' and yes.
13. Go to mounts and storage and select 'format /system'.
14. From the main menu select 'reboot system now'
15. Setup your phone.
16. Install updates.
17. Enjoy.

There's a video in my Arc guide too explaining how to install CM.

Yes, NOW you are. AFTER you edited your post, in which you clearly mentioned having problems with rooting and cited this as a method of rooting your device/getting CM10 installed. Besides, there's already a detailed tutorial on installing Cyanogenmod on their own website:

Make Sure The Fastboot Drivers Are Installed.
Make sure u have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
Power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows
Will start driver installation, extract the above package and point the driver install to that location (usb_driver) folder
Once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device.
[ How to Unlock ] (Official Way)
Video Link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA
For better understanding, I highly recommend you to watch the above video along with the instructions below:
1.) Download ‘Fastboot Drivers And Pacakges File For Xperia S’ file from → Here
2.) Extract the file you downloaded above on your PC. You’ll get the following three files:
drivers.zip
fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip
3.) Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
This will open a web page in your default browser. Scroll to the bottom of the Instructions on the page and you’ll see a link like “Continue”, click on it.
In the pop-up window click “Yes, I’m sure” and then in the next window click on both the checkboxes, and then click “I accept”.
4.) Now insert the details as per the instructions:
First 14 digits of your IMEI No. Do NOT enter the last digit (15th) in the box. To know your IMEI No. dial *#06# on your Xperia Arc.
Your Name
Your Email Address
Click Submit.
5.) You’ll get a KEY to unlock boot loader. Write it down somewhere you can remember, it will be used later.
6.) Switch off your phone.
7.) Now extract the “fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip” file you got in Step 2.2.
8.) Pick up your phone (it must be switched off) and hold the “Menu” button (the key at the bottom right of your phone), now while holding the “Menu” button connect your phone to your PC with an USB cable.
9.) Once connected — the LED light near the phone’s USB plug will turn blue. If it doesn’t — repeat the Step 8.
10.) Now to install the drivers do the following:
Extract the “drivers.zip” file you got in Step 2.1
Open “Device Manager” on your PC and look for “S1Boot Fastboot” under the head “Other devices”
Right-click on “S1Boot Fastboot” and select “Update Driver Software…”
Now select “Browse my computer for driver software” and select the folder where you’ve extracted all the three files you got in Step 2. Once done — click Ok.
Now click Next (Make sure you’ve ticked the “Include subfolders” checkbox).
If you see any Windows security warning box, don’t worry . Just select “Install this driver software anyway”
Wait for “Windows has successfully updated your driver software” message to appear on your screen. Now click Close.
11.) Open the “fastboot” folder from the file we extracted in Step 7.
12.) Now hold Shift and press mouse right click (Shift + Mouse Right Click) anywhere on the empty white space inside the “fastboot” folder. And then select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
13.) Now in the command prompt window type/paste the following:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version​
14.) It should return a value like “0.3”. This ensures that your device is correctly connected.
15.) Now type/paste the following line in the command prompt window:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY​
IMPORTANT! Replace the word “KEY” from the above line with the KEY that you received in Step 5. Then Hit Enter.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
16.) Now wait for the process to complete. Command prompt will show a “Finished” message when it will be completed.
17.)Once it’s done, disconnect the USB cable from your phone and switch it ON.
18.)Your phone’s boot loader should now be Unlocked.

Troubleshooting
If you experience a bootloop (phone constantly reboots and reboots on the boot screen) or a soft brick (powering on the phone shows an orange triangle with a phone and computer), don’t be afraid. XDA to the rescue!
For a bootloop:
Take out the battery.
Wait for 3 min.
Put the battery in. Do NOT power on the phone.
Keep pressing Volume Up + Home simultaneously and press the power button to turn on the device.
Once the phone shows the model number screen, leave the buttons.
Your phone will boot into recovery.
Select “Wipe data/ Factory reset”. (Volume Up for going up and Volume down to go down)
After the reset is done, select “Reboot system now”.
The phone will reboot and you should be all fine.
For a soft brick:
You probably flashed some faulty firmware or firmware not meant for your device.
The File You Downloaded Must Be Incomplete.
Download the correct firmware and flash again.

woa! really great thread!
thnx for this step by step tutorial.. this really will help me and other begginers here in xperia forum..

there's some mistake in your guide:
first, you can't root last xperia s rom version with Bin4ry root tool
it would be better to link the main thread which then will lead people to the right place
then, i think that instead of using recoverX to install CWM, it would be better to flash advanced stock kernel (and then TWRP if you like)
and you don't need to flash FXP kernel before flashing rom
last but not least... i think that this thread would be better sitting in general section (instead of the android development one)

Thank You! I'd do the same..
And about the Last .55 Version I'd update the thread.
Next for the Advanced kernal.. Its true! but for beginners understanding CWM forms a very good base.
There were some issues with TWRP while providing null value in moving from CM10 to OPEN SEMC
So prefered CWM

[MEGA]Titanium S1,Cherry Flame2.0,KTouch U86 Kiss,Archos 45 Platinum

Hello Everybody!!
Recently when going through the xda forums for the devices Karbonn Titanium S1, Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0, K-Touch Hornet u86 kiss , I noticed that a lot of people have questions regarding Stock rom, Recovery rooting and Solutions for Brick.However most of the posts have been left unanswered or died for some reason.
Hence I decided to open a thread that can be used to solve general problems and issues regarding the Device.
NOTE:- Archos 45 Platinum too has similar device specifications.The same CWM version worked for @best98 who is using an Archos 45 Platinum.
Tip:Using CWM touch recovery
When using the CWM Touch recovery you may notice that it is not really working properly and that touch is not doing anything. The fact is the touch is being registered and that the touch method is different than normal android because of limited drivers in recovery.
The working
Use one finger touch to scroll
Use two finger touch to select item
Installing a Recovery Menu
Using PC
1) Install the Mobile Drivers.
2) Download Minimal ADB And fastboot [Windows users] Linux and Mac users might have to download the whole Android sdk as of now.
3) Download the recovery you want from the attachments below.
4) Rename them to recovery.img after extracting and copy it to a folder of know location.
5) Boot your device into fastboot mode.i.e Power on your mobile by pressing and holding Power button and vol+ Key.until you see A green screen.
6) Connect your device to the PC and open Minimal ADB and fastboot
7) Run the command " fastboot flash recovery C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG".
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
8) Wait untill it completes and VOILA new recovery installed.
Note: In case you want to preserve your stock recovery, run the command "fastboot boot C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG"
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
Using Mobile
Simple Method.
Just install the TACK Manager from here and install the recovery .Enjoy .
Not so simple method
Download the flashable recoveries from Below and flash it through CWM Or TWRP [Yes, you need custom recovery for this to flash]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting Your Device
Method 1: Through CWM/TWRP
1) Download the SuperSU package provided below.
2) Copy it to the root of your SDCard
3) Select Install zip from SDCard
Method 2:Through Framaroot
Personally I Did not get any success by this method.But lot of users reported it to to work by using the Gandalf exploit.
Also some versions of framaroot work better on some devices as compared to others.So maybe just have to check which version works for our Mobile.
1) Download and install Framaroot.apk
2) On the exploits list select Gandalf
3) It'll probably crash the first time and apparently work the second time you launch it.
As I Am not sure which version of framaroot works for this mobile hence no upload

Flashing Roms and Fix Soft brick
1) Copy Rom to SDCard
2) Boot into Recovery by Powering on while holding power and vol+ Button.Initially you'll see a green screen...Keep holding untill the screen turns red.
3) Goto Mounts and storage and format /Cache and /Data. Format /SYSTEM if installing new rom.
4) Goto Advanced and format Dalvik Cache
5) Select Apply Zip from SD Card
6) Select zip file of rom to install and wait.
7) Reboot and voila.
Note:This is assuming you are using CWMR
Note: Do not format /SYS_BOOT Partition.You'll end up bricking your device and then will not be able to boot into Fastboot mode.
If this happens by mistake.Follow the next Guide.

Fixing RESET FOR ENTRY QPST DOWNLOAD
In case you end up Formatting /SYS_BOOT Partition then you'll most likely end up in this.There might be few other cases when this can happen but none that i am aware of.
If you Have a Linux Desktop
If you have access to Linux PC then connect your mobile to it and mount the partition which is around 50 MB. Download the Images.zip from below.unzip the file and copy the whole folder to the 50 MB partition.
Your File structure should look something like this
-\50MBPartition
-\image
-\AMSS.MBN
-\AMSSHD.MBN​
If you have Windows

Its not necessary to flash or reset the soft brick using any OS,
U can do it by CWM also.
1]For softbrick u can just factory reset and wipe cache
2] for flashing u can mount and remount sdcard and copy the .zip file to it and choose install zip from sdcard

Hi there, let's go step by step without "shortcuts" that are typically working on PC/WIn.
1. Unlock bootloader of your phone at HTCdev[dot]com [replace 'dot' with . - sorry for confusion I haven't earned reputation to post external links yet]. All necessary tools (fastboot) will be provided to download during process as well as necessary instructions. You need Windows/Linux or OS X computer to complete this step.
2. Download custom recovery .img file and save it to same directory you have fastboot files (e.g. from step 1) on you computer
3. Start phone in fastboot mode (mind fast boot option in Power settings must be unchecked if you using VolDown [-] start option (not necessary if you use adb reboot bootloader). Battery must be charged over 10% (I suggest 30% to stay secure); connect to computer (phone shall display Fastboot USB)
4. Navigate command/terminal window on your computer to location of recovery image file from step 2 (fastboot files must be there or have a correct path specified).
5. On computer terminal window run command: fastboot flash recovery filename_of_recovery.img . Red section must be exact custom recovery file name.
6. You'll get some communication in terminal. If completed OK will be among them, if failure, there will be FAIL with description of reason (e.g. low_power). If only "waitng for device" dislays, check connection with phone.
7. Navigate phone to HBOOT, then select recovery. If recovery don't start, check step 1 and restart from step 3. If only icon with red ! appears, it means you have stock recovery installed. Please verify from step 1.
8. Once custom recovery is installed and working, use it to flash SuperSU or any other superuser app (must be flashable .zip to be applied). Install just 1 root application, to avoid problems. At this point, you may consider flashing busybox also if you plan extensive file modification, but it's not necessary for root. For any sake, clear cache befor restart.
9. Restart the phone - you shall view SuperSU application or any other superuses app you've flashed i step 8.
Hope now works.

Thanks for your answer, I have to say I properly unlocked the phone so I do not think there is a way I messed up with this step as when I start bootloader it clearly shows on the top of the screen ''UNLOCKED".
When I flashed recovery on my phone I had no errors prompted or any message of failure. The process went well until a success notification.
Now when I start my phone into bootloader I repeat, I clearly see that recovery has been installed but when I attempt to start it then I'll be almost instantly brought back to the bootloader screen... now I started to wonder if... if an update of android could cause this kind of issue? The point is my phone is using android 4.4.4 and not the factory version 4.4.2. I remember having updated my android version which was perhaps a mistake as this phone is not very old and I was planning to root it in the next days... Now I'm not expert just try to figure it out.
I tried different system to auto root via different apps, some using the PC some using directly the phone, I never get any success...

Ok, please try twrp from Original Android Development tread (it works for me, mind, I'd question it's stability) or Philz recovery (sorry, I found only Chinese, but it's for verivication only: h...ps://drive.google.com/file/d/0BygOvRquk4z8S05kRC1XMXdSbXM/view?usp=sharing - please adjust tt in address - rookie rules).
I'd suggest test running from Fastboot: fastboot boot custom_recovery.img - replace with actual file name from directory you're running terminal.
This shall verify if it's problem with recovery file or any remaining protection...

[Guide] [XAS] [UPDATED] Xperia Unlocking BL, flashing ROMs/kernels BPaul's 5.1.1

This is a guide for XPERIA ACRO S (other xperia users can also refer needed information)
[Below procedure looks lendy, but you'll just need max 30 minutes if you have every downloaded file.]
I make this guide for noobs as there weren't such guide (even for my first time of flashing ROM I didn't get any such guide, so I decided to make one)
This Guide is especially for flashing BPaul's 5.1.1 ROMs (B3||B2||B1)
To Flash Different Versions Of BPaul's ROM follow Respective Guide:
Beta1 threads POST #13
Beta2 same thread
Beta3 threads POST #40
So here I'm giving detail process to install Bpaul's 5.1.1 with every links needed.
we are going to take below steps;
1. unlocking Bootloader
2. flashing kernel with recoveries
3. backing up stock ROM
4. installing BPaul's 5.1.1
Special Thanks;
@BPaul (for awesome ROM)
@cobrato (for stock kernel)
@jajb (for gapps)
NOTE: I'AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGED YOUR PHONE BY CROSS FLASHING OTHER ROMS,KERNELS ETC. BELOW PROCESS IS SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED ON XPERIA ACRO S. AS NOOBS CAN MAKE MANY MISTAKES, I'AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DAMAGE.
-DO AT YOUR OWN RISK-
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Here we START-
Note: Before Unlocking Bootloader, I suggest you to Backup your TA Partition. (Trim Area) IF in future something goes wrong with network signal related issues or bootloader issue, you could restore this backup. TA Partition can be backed-up ONLY before unlocking bootloader. To backup TA follow this "Guide" and after you could below steps. Also your phone needs to be Rooted to backup TA, if your phone isn't rooted, follow this "Guide"
*_UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER_*
(unlocking bootloader will erase everything on your phone, i suggest you to take backup of your data)
First check weather you can unlock your bootloader. To do so type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer and find bootloader unlocked status.
IF bootloader unlock allowed = YES (you can unlock)
IF bootloader unlock allowed = NO (you can't unlock)
IF bootloader unlocked = YES (already unlocked)
Then you need to take unlocking code from official Sony website (link below)
LINK1 Unlocking Bootloader
after clicking on above link, on the page just scroll down
1.select your device
2.provide your IMEI
3.you'll get unlock code (save it properly)
Next you need to download minimal adb and fastboot (link below)
LINK1 Miniamal ADB and Fastboot
install it to your computer.
Now we have to connect phone in fastboot mode, follow below steps
1.Turn on usb debugging mode.
(setting > developer option > usb debugging)
2.Turn Off your Xperia Acro S
3.Press and Hold volume up button and then connect usb to computer.
(If you see Blue LED of phone, then everything is going right)
(Let your computer install essential fastboot drivers)
[If blue LED disappears after some seconds and phone starts charging, that means your PC isn't installing fastboot drivers. In such situation REFER Q&A thread POST #4 ]
Now open minimal adb and fastboot (we installed previously)
Type below command
-fastboot devices
-fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x(your unlock code without this brackets)
-fastboot reboot
DONE
(Now you have successfully unlocked your bootloader)
[ To check that if you have succeeded in unlocking bootloader type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer and find bootloader unlock status.
ALSO you'll notice that your phone is factory resetted]
*_FLASHING KERNEL WITH RECOVERY'S_*
As you have STOCK ROM, you need to flash STOCK KERNEL with recoveries (link below)
LINK1 Stock Kernel
-The above kernel cantain CWM as well as TWRP
After opening above link, download respective kernel
Save the above downloaded kernel to fastboot folder on your computer.
-Get into fastboot mode and connect to computer.
(Press and Hold volume up button and then connect usb to computer).
Now open minimal adb and fastboot (we installed previosly)
Type below command
-fastboot devices
-fastboot flash boot kernel_62B196_acroS.elf
-fastboot reboot
DONE
(Now you have successfully flashed kernel with recovery)
*_BACKINGUP STOCK ROM_*
As you have successfully flashed kernel with recoverys, its easy to take a full backup of your system.
To enter into recovery follow below steps
1.To get into CWM reboot your phone, press volume up key for few times when the magenta LED appears.
(To navigate use volume buttons, for selecting use power button)
2.To get into TWRP reboot your phone and tap the screen for few times when the magenta LED appears.
3.Select Backup.
(let the process finish)
I SUGGEST TO TAKE BACKUP FROM BOTH RECOVERY'S
DONE
(Now you have successfully Backed-up your ROM)
Flashing BPaul's Beta2 ROM works ONLY IF YOUR PHONE HAS Beta1 ROM installed. If you don't have Beta1 installed, first of all install it. . If your phone has Beta 1, ignore this and carry on.
*_FLASHING ROM BPaul's 5.1.1_Beta 2 over Beta 1*
For Flashing This ROM your phone (Xperia Acro S) needs to be rooted if your not rooted, follow this "Guide" Also USB Debugging in developers option should be enabled.
A] Download ROM BPaul's 5.1.1 Beta 2 (link below)
LINK1 BPaul's B2
C] Download below minimal GApps for 5.1.1 and copy it to your sdcard/ext_sdcard(link below)
LINK1 GApps for 5.1.1
1.Download fota kernel with cwm recovery (link below)
LINK1 Fota Kernel
2.Copy above downloaded kernel + rom to internal storage of your phone
3.Open minimal adb and fastboot
Type below command;
-adb shell
-su
(confirm popup su request from your phone)
-dd if=/sdcard/hikari-fota_CWM.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Now you need to enter into recovery. To do so, restart your phone in recovery mode.
1.Wipe system + factory reset
2.Install zip from sdcard/ext_sdcard
(select beta-hikari...... rom)
3.Wipe cache + dalvic cache
4.Again install zip from sdcard/ext_sdcard
(select 5.1.1 gapps)
5.Again wipe cache+ dalvic cache
6.Reboot
For the first time it can take a looooong time to boot up. So just don't worry.
DONE
(You have successfully installed BPaul's 5.1.1)
OPTIONAL:
For rooting this ROM, just download SuperSU, save it to your phone and install it manually with recovery. (link below)

You just need to copy one of them.
Do not keep it in any folder and correctly write the command or just copy and paste.
Let me know if you fail again.
And post a picture of the error.
PS: Make sure you write cwm command if you copied cwm recovery and twrp command for twrp recovery.

Did you followed every step of the Guide? (you must be)
The last step of the Guide is about rooting 5.1
Just installing superSU from play store doesn't root your phone.
BTW You could just press thumbs up button, instead writing thanks

BPaul's Beta1 Flashing Guide
(As B2 version is flashable over B1, i created this guide for newer users who are facing ERROR7)
The process is little bit different compaired to B2 flashing process.
--PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED AND USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.--
*_Downloads_*
1. ROM http://d-h.st/yt2G
2. Kernel http://d-h.st/nJXM
3. Flashtool (install it) http://d-h.st/Kb8
(After installing, goto installation folder and then drivers, install it. Select xperia acro s, fastboot driver while installing)
4. Min ADB and Fastboot (install it) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmOWhnUk1ZWVdQakE/view?pli=1
5. SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
*_FLASHING B1_*
1. UNZIP downloaded ROM to a folder. (You'll see 2imgs and 2recoverys)
2. Copy TWRP to your internal memory of phone.
3. Now open Min ADB and Fastboot and type below command.
-adb shell
-su
-dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img
of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
4. Open Flashtoool.
5. Click flash button.
6. Select fastboot mode .
7. Remove USB, Reboot phone to fastboot mode. (Power off phone, push vol up key and connect USB )
--FOLLOW BELOW STEPS CAREFULLY--
8. Setect SYSTEM to flash and open system.img from the extracted folder. (wait minimum 6 mins)
9. Select Kernel to flash and open downloaded kernel boot_07_05_15.img (wait for a min)
10. Reboot device into system.
DONE!
Your phone will take a long time to boot up for the first time, so just dont worry.
Also for Flashing Beta2 version your phone needs to be rooted. For that copy downloaded SuperSU to your phone and install it manually through your recovery.
NOW YOU CAN FLASH B2 VERSION WITHOUT ANY ERROR.

There are many ways available for rooting Acro S.
For Me, 'towelroot' was the easiest way to root my phone. After that, you can manually download SuperSU app from play store.
Even You can try it

When I type: dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
it says that there's no such file or directory even though I copied twrp.img to my phone?

Did you rooted your phone?
Was towelroot successful?
And do not place twrp.img in any folder. Just in internal memory.
