[Q] Can't Install CWM Recovery on Xperia SP

I have this ROOTED XSP .205 with LOCKED bootloader and I was trying to install CWM recovery by following a procedure that was only for Locked Bootloader Xperia Sp but I couldn't install it.
First in the cmd it was giving
'can't find specific path'
Then I found out that I needed to extract that zip file to C: that I did and after that im getting,
'You've selected Xperia SP, let's go"
And it is stuck on that, getting nowhere.
Im a newbie so not have much idea if someone can help that'd be a life saviour, please.

Have u tried again after restarting the computer and phone??
I am also trying to do so but stuck on *daemon started successfully*
After that cmd window stuck there. So any one have answer please let me know.

Try flashing recovery .img file with Rashr

You can't install CWM Recovery without a CWM Rom , and I think you can't install locked bootloader on unlocked bootloader, I recommend use Flash Tools and Unlock your bootloader. And Flash a Kernel with TWRP Recovery and Wipe and Flash a CWM Rom (huashan ROM for Xperia SP) after it you get CWM Recovery and TWRP Recovery for extra I recommend use Helium Kernel to do it

hello can you help me with somehting i am on android 4.3 in xperia sp yesterday i have deleted my prima files by mistake can you upload them for me from your phoone

I found installing XZDualRecovery very easy. You get TWRP, CWM and PhilZ.
-install supersu from play store
-activate usb debug in developer options
-unzip xzdualrecovery file
-run install program from the unzipped folder
-follow steps on the screen, you will have to grant supersu access on your phone at some point.

Xperia Z is stuck in boot loop after Dual recovery install

Hey, Im pretty new to xda so forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. I Have a c6606 Tmobile xperia z that i flashed to c6616 4.4.2 then OTA updated it to 5.0.2. I rooted with kingroot root and then did a the method of removing kingroot and replacing it with superSU. I go to install dual recovery from [NUT]'s page and go with option 1, Install rom rooted with superSU. Everything works up until it trys to reboot into the launcher like normal. I can get into recovery but it just wont do a full boot and it goes into a boot loop. I did a factory reset like it said in the tutorial but still boot loop. After trying different flash options with flash tools I'm at a stand still until i can get this fixed. Also one other thing, is it normal to have poor signal after flashing to c6616 ftf? I know someone else mentioned this in a thread but i didnt really see an anwser. Any help appreciated ladies and fellas

HI, i've read that Xperia Z T-Mobile brand have the bootloader locked, and it's not unlockable, you can flash CUSTOM ROM but must have STOCK KERNEL otherwise you get always a bootloop...
Wich CUSTOM ROM have you tried to flash?

i had the same problem with my c6603
1. Just install stock rom ftf
2. Install TWRP Recovery
3. Boot into TWRP
4. Factory Reset & Cache/Dalvic wipe
5. Flash Custom Rom
6. Wipe Dalvic/Cache again
7. Boot into ROM
8. Open Shell
9. Make a clean install of twrp with dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ ...
Should work

Fixed

Seems like there is no recovery flashed.
Had the same problem. After flashing recovery again the problem was gone and I could access recovery.

My bootloader is unlocked. I am using nuts xzdualrecovery. With the help of Google search for nuts xz dual recovery. From there download the installer for your phone.
That's what I used. Follow the instructions and your custom recovery should be installed.

If
Unlocked bootloader=true
Then install XZdual Recovery By Nut
If
Unlocked bootloader=false
Then TWRP MANAGER FROM GOOGLE PLAY STORE
notes:
#if u used dual recovery u should have supersu not kingroot.... It may work with kingroot but prefered supersu
#if you used twrp manager u must have busybox installed on your device to use dd command

Your bootloader is locked? If yes, you must unlock it in order to install TWRP via installer.
But, if you want a recovery and bootloader locked, the only solution is to install XZ DUAL Recovery
