don't know, haven't tried, but fastboot is really simple and fast, and you'll have to set it up to unlock bootloader anyway.

your phone is there
-fastboot flash boot .. or what you need

and you'll have to use it only few times, after you install cm10 first time, back to normal routine

This is a CWM recovery for the Xperia T - you need to have unlocked your bootloader at http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING YOUR PHONE ETC. ETC. ETC. - I'm sure you've heard the rest before.
Steps for installation:
Download recovery from http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/recoveries/mint/15102012.img
Download fastboot and get it into a place where you can run it - I'm not going to provide instructions how - guides are all over the place
Open a command window in the place where fastboot is
Copy the recovery.img to the fastboot folder
Type fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Type fastboot reboot
You will be in CWM!
Note:
The first time you install a ROM you will need to flash the boot.img of that ROM using fastboot - I'm hoping this restriction can be removed at a future date.
A CM port is also up - compiled by me.
Thanks to:
All the CM guys for having their code on Github - I didn't do anything but compile and figure out the instructions for flashing.
Hmm, so tempting but not sure since you've not tested it on the T. Someone else gonna go first?
EDIT: I am sorry, a bad assumption possibly. Have you tested this on a T?
I have. It's tested and working. I've flashed CyanogenMod and using it as a daily as well.
Will have my T today but I wonder how to access recovery in daily use? (undestood the 1st time access, but not the next accesses...)
backup and restore work？
Switch off phone.
Power on phone with volume down held.
And although I haven't tested there's nothing that indicates backup/restore won't work.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
Hmm, the recovery just cycle boots into recovery mode. It never boots into system
As I said the first time you flash a ROM you will need to fast boot install the boot mage of the ROM.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
So then you are forced to flash a rom after installing cwm?
Sent from my Xperia T
Yes. Since you are flashing the boot partition its a pseudo recovery so a ROM needs to be flashed.

I flashed this last night successfully. I couldn't get side-loading to work, but it's smooth otherwise. Have not tested backup / restore yet.
Additionally, FWIW, I then flashed the Paranoid Android ROM, and while I've got some issues with it, I didn't have to flash the boot.img from the ROM for the ROM to boot, so I am not sure if that is still required or not... or maybe that's what's causing my issues with the ROM?
Thanks for the recovery!

So this recovery has to be initially installed on the boot partition, but does it copy itself to the recovery partition on first boot or do you have to reflash it every time you want to switch from running a ROM to running the recovery?
Also, is a stock boot.img available anywhere (so that this recovery can be used for nandroid backups with the stock rom)?
Once I am finished with this recovery how do I turn the phone off?
SOLVED
Hold vol + and - and power button.
CWM on Xperia TX and screen is upside down
Nice work tho.
Is AROMA working in the recovery?
I'm making a rom and I'd like to know it

that's an uncurable bug, and i dunno how to solve it forever. but, there is a temporary fix.
flash my kernel, boot up to homescreen. than flash STOCK kernel, boot up to homescreen again. finally, flash my kernel again and you'll be able to connect it again, probably. test this and report, please

ERM. Your kernel isn't stock based. FXP logo probably tells you that you have a CM kernel. Just flash a stock kernel.
Also. This is a Question so it should be in Q&A section.

Well you need fastboot. It can be found around the Xperia section. Just search it. Then download a kernel. Make sure it's the right Firmware for the ROM you're on now. (If the kernel is in a .zip file, extract its .elf or .img file) Place .elf or .img file into fastboot folder.
1. Open the fastboot folder, hold shift and right click in the fastboot folder.
2. Click open command prompt.
3. Connect device via fastboot. (Turn off device, hold vol down while connecting to PC. Blue LED will light up)
4. Type in the command window "fastboot flash boot filename.elf/img.
5. Reboot.

Ok try the official Sony flashtool, they specifically made it for bootloader-unlock phones. See if your phone model is listed there. Haven't tried it myself coz my TX is not listed, I think the T is.
Edit: you mean you cannot poweroff your phone? I'm also confused by your statement lol

use sony flashtool it works great, you could also try to connect your sd card with your pc, put the kernel from doomlord on your sd card and put sd card back in. when you boot up phone you just have to press up volume a couple of times. then you will get cwm, then click instal zip and go to the doomlord kernel, then reboot into recovery and factory reset your phone, then flash the stock rom you like and wipe cache, that should do the trick.

yes, it even says so in the bit you quoted. You NEED an unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernels.
Locked bootloader means you can only flash stock kernels
Unlocked bootloader means you can flash all custom kernels and stock kernels
I think it would be wise for you to read the all in one thread before you start flashing things in future...The first 3 posts in the first thread in the Q&A section would be enough
Can I just ask why you unlocked your bootloader if you didnt know how to flash kernels?

Reflash kernel first and then the ROM.

it means you're not in fastboot mode, cause of the bootloop. Use the force-off button on the back of the phone. Now you'll be able to enter fastbootmode
did something like that. Phone shows blue light now and i choose to hotboot the kernel for the 4.3 leak. Flashtool now says hotbooting selected kernel, but nothing seems to be happenig? Is that correct, or how long should it take?
Edit: somehow got fastboot working again and flashed the kernel. Now flashing the rom again with recovery. Hope all goes well this time. Thans for the help!

Hi guys!
I've wanted to install CM11 on my Xperia SP. I unlocked bootloader, flashed kernel and installed a zip from sd, but when I'm rebooting there's only CM logo. I was patient, but it didn't turned on after 7 hours. I made full wipe and format before installing. Could you help me?
Same problem here. I also unlocked the bootloader, did the wipe & format, then installed the zip. (I didn't flash a kernel.) If I remember correctly, there were some error messages during the wipe & format stage. I'll look it up when I'm home, haven't got the phone with me right now.

Well if you are coming from stock directly, I would advise you to flash the kernel first and then flash the rom from the recovery.
Its about some mounts and partitions.

HOLD DOWN the Vol DOWN button and connect the phone(DONT RELEASE THE VOL DOWN BUTTON UNTIL FLASHTOOL STARTS FLASHING/DETECTS YOUR DEVICE AND READS ITS INFO)
