After installing the cwm recovery..
how to reboot into recovery???
How to access cwm in my neo v .
please help coz my phone is stuck on sony logo
Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down keys and then press the Power Key until you get to CWM
Steps to get into the CWM Recovery
(1) Turn OFF your Xperia Neo V
(2) While your phone is turned OFF, press and hold Volume UP+Volume DOWN+Power keys together.
(3) You should boot into the CWM Recovery
Cheers !
When booting your phone and when the ‘Sony Ericsson’ logo appear, press and release continuously the volume down button.
Once you are in the CWM recovery, use the volume keys to navigate
upwards / downwards, the ‘home’ key to select, the ‘back’ key to go
back.
yeah thank you …this method is perfect
when installing CWM in mobile it appears SHELL HAS BEEN GRANTED SUPERUSER PERMISSION ….n then the cwm installtion window closes ….what should i do ?
Does this require an unlocked bootloader, as I don’t want to unlock mine? And will it unlock it if it is not? I need to save my warranty.
