TWRP/CWM recovery mode not found
hi
im using sony xperia ion lt28h.
according to this link> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634375
I've followed every instruction. CWM and TWRP is installed on my device. I've downloaded this app called "rom manager" and it shows that two recovery apps are installed.
But according to the instructions, it is said that to enter twrp recovery mode, hold volume button up and blue lead will appear following the recovery command screen. For cwm, hold volume button down.
My problem is, when i reboot and hold volume button up, the blue led flashes only for 2 seconds approx and my phone only carries a restart and nothing else. If i hold it down, no flash of led appears and the device carries a normal restart and no twrp or cwm recovery screen.
And i cannot update my phone from jelly bean to kitkat following this link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682782.
Any suggestion how to enable twrp recovery screen while reboot on a installed twrp app for xperia ion would be so much helpful.
Thanks.

You can't install official KitKat in Xperia ion. Regular software update service from Sony has been already stopped (last was 4.1.2) but you can get lots of unofficial ROMS which are running upper version of android...!
To solve the problem, first of all flash your phone via flashtool then unlock your bootloader and again flash Doomkernel....!
then you will get both CWM and TWRP easily...!
All d best !

Please help. No recovery in Ion!

Hi guys. I have a Xperia Ion LT28H. International model.
From a few days, I am trying to get CWM/TWRP recovery on it.
But I'm unable to reach at any fruitful result.
Anybody please help me getting custom recovery on my phone.
This is what I did-
I rooted it using DoomLord(or something like that)
Installed recovery using RecoverX
-no luck-
Then I flashed original generic ftf file(for a fresh start again)
Again rooted thru DoomLord
Tried installing recovery using IonDualRecovery
-no luck-
Used this recovery olso: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830170
Then I figured out my bootloader was locked(although I don't know how that effects)
I unlocked bootloader thru sony website method.
Again repeated everything mentioned above.
Tried 3-4 different ways for installing recovery.
I somewhere found this info-
(JB)
- let the phone boot
- at sony logo, the phone will vibrate
- a blue led lights up
- press volume up immediately and keep pressing for a few seconds
- the CWM does not come up immediately. after a few seconds delay, press vol up or vol down.
- you will enter CWM recovery.

I was on JB 4.1.2, but still, no blue led comes up.
One more thing I figured out.
Flashify(from play store) says "No recovery partition found"
I have tried every way of booting into recovery.
Tapping sony logo
Pressing Vol+ several times
Pressing Vol- several times
Tried all possible combos.
Sony logo flashes a few times, but nothing else.
I'm unable to boot into recovery(don't know if its installed or not)
:'(
Please help.
Thanks for reading the boring issue.

Red triangle whne going into recovery HTC desire eye
The red Triangle that you see while accessing recovery on your HTC desire eye is the 'Stock Recovery' ,in order to access stock recovery you need to click volume up and down button at the same time and then press power button and release all buttons after half a second and then voila!, you are now in stock recovery.

Cannot enter recovery mode

Hey All,
I have recently rooted my Xperia T2 with hopes of entering the wonderful world of customization. However, I cannot enter recovery mode at all. I have exhausted Google looking for a solution prior to registering here. I have tried everything from downloading apps such as Quick Boot to connecting to PC and trying the adb command ''adb reboot recovery'' and ''adb reboot-bootloader'' and of course I have tried the obvious of turning off the phone and then powering back on while holding the power button and volume up key at the same time. Performing that action shows the phone powering on with the Sony screen followed by a black screen where the phone vibrates 3 times and will continue in this loop if I don't release the keys, If I do release them the phone just starts normally. In all cases, that is is what is happening, the phone restarts and boots normally.
I have checked that everything is OK with the rooting that I did via the app Root Checker and and checked bootloader unlocked status via the command ''*#*#7378423#*#*''.
So, there you have it and I just can't understand why I can't enter the recovery mode. My main goal for the moment is to free up some RAM by doing the Link2SD method but without getting into the recovery mode, that seems hopeless.
Hopefully someone here can advise me.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
I can't enter recovery mode too... also already unlocked my bootloader but recovery still unacessible.
See what I did:
(DONE) - Unlocked my bootloader;
(FAIL) - Tryed to root by using KingRoot (2 differrent versions, one that I saw in a tutorial and the newer version - cause I'm using the newer T2 Ultra firmware)
(FAIL) - Tryed to install a custom recovery and as a gift, my T2 started an infinite bootloop.
(DONE) - Fix the boot loop problem...;
(FAIL) - Enter recovery mode and flash a Pre Rooted Firmware;
(DONE) - Searching how to flash a custom recovery again...
(DONE) - Installed a custom recovery (TWRP)...
Now I have another problem... wen a I try to turn It on, It only goes to recovery, and the notification led blinks red and then purple. There's anything I can do to fix It?
The very same problem i am facing now
I wanted to upgrade to higher version of lollipop but not able to get in recovery mode though i have already rooted n installed NDR utils BUT not able to get in recovery mode even via app
Any one who can help US OUT ?? !
I have same problem i can't enter to recovery mode by hold power button and volume + or volume - i try a lot of other combinaison but it doesn't work , help us thanks

Now go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 for Complete tutorial on flashing and downloading a custom recovery. I have installed it with no errors

Phone stuck on "Entering Recovery". Help!!!

Hello folks,
I had an old HTC one M8 running android kitkat. I've rooted my phone using kingo root app then installed flashify. I downloaded the latest TWRP 3.1 and also ensure that the version was correct for the device. After installing the img file using flashify my phone restarted and stuck with a dialogue saying "Entering Recovery". I've gone through a similar post where a senior member said to hold the power button until it reboot up. That method is not working for me.
I would highly appreciate and be pleased if anyone can help me out.
Is your bootloader locked? If so, that isn't the proper procedure for installing TWRP on this device. You can't install custom recovery on this device, unless you first unlock the bootloader.
Hold power+ vol up to force a reboot (may need to hold the buttons for a minute or so in a "stuck" condition). Once the screen goes dark indicating a reboot, let go of the buttons, and only hold vol down, until you see the bootloader screen. From there, if the bootloader is locked, unlock it using the HTCDev.com process, then wipe cache and flash TWRP with fastboot.

[Solved]Unable to get in Flashmod(Green LED) when using Sony FlashTool

My Sony Xperia Z5 Premium now is running 3rd part ROM. Unfortunately it looks like some problem because battery is dropping so fast without gaming or video watching. So I decided to use Sony FlashTool recovery stock system. And there is the problem: I already flash the TWRP recovery, I can get into Fastboot mode(BlueLED), but once FlashTool ask for "Press Volume Down button(I know its Hold the button), and plug in cable" it should into FlashMod(GreenLED), but my phone just into TWRP recovery and FlashTool still waiting for Flashmod.
I think solution is using a stock recovery system rather than TWRP. But I just cannot get stock recovery in every where.
Help me plz
And I am sure about I already installed drivers requested.
--------------------
OK, I just solved my problem. That gad damn Volume Down button just broken XD
