      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

    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.
