    Hello , I have Xperia S with 6.2.B.0.211 installed without root , can i flash this pre-rooted version of the same version over this one ? if it is possible to do so , kindly mention how to do that using the CWM recovery , because i can’t get into recovery mode using any combination of keys !
    thanks in advance …

    • Anurag Kumar June 16, 2013 at 12:02 pm - Reply

      yes you can install pre-rooted version over this. Do back up your ROM in case anything goes wrong you can go back.
      Reboot your device into recovery. (CWM). To enter in recovery press “volume up” button again and again as soon you see “Pink” LED at boot up.
      Now flash the ROM’s “update.zip”. (time consuming step). “Wiping Data” in recovery is recommended.

        sorry for asking alot but it really never comes to CWM mode , i tried what you said many times without any results , it always boots as normal ..
        is this because there is not a CWM recovery installed , if yes , how can i install it …
        it’s very important for me to flash this ROM because my current ROM is the crab update from Sony (The Wi-Fi issue ‘Cannot connect to any WLANs unless the Airplane mode is activated’ the fullHD recording issues and so on ….)
        I really will appreciate your help ..
        thanks in advance ..

        • Anurag Kumar June 16, 2013 at 4:55 pm - Reply

          Yes because it is CWM recovery not installed.

          I have corrected Wi-Fi issue on My XSL by “resetting the phone “factory reset”. It worked for me, don’t know will it work for you.

          For installing CWM refer here – http:// android.gs/install-clockworkmod-recovery-sony-xperia-s/

          Detailed steps can be found on above link for installing CWM.

            there is an error said that ‘Your Device must be rooted’ …. but i want to install CWM because i need to flash the DoomLord pre-rooted ROM … I don’t know but it seems impossible to do that >>>

          • Anurag Kumar June 16, 2013 at 6:44 pm -

            It’s necessary to have root buddy…you need to root your device then ?

    Hi Anurag,

    I have Xperia S LT26ii.. I have rooted by phone and then installed cwm recovery.

    1. It successfully installed it.
    2. Gone to recovery screen.
    3. Wiped all data & cache partition.
    4. Tried to installed the kitkat version using OpenSEMC-kk-beta3.zip.
    5. but it failed saying that this package is not for LT26ii.
    6. After that I rebooted the phone.

    Now the phone shows the Sony logo only and cannot boot further.

    Please assist/ help me to overcome this issue.

    Your early help will help me a lot.

    Thanks,
    Sanjay
