Hello, I want to deodex my stock rom. For that I
1) downloaded the required files
2) rooted my phone (xperia s)
3) unlocked the bootloader
4) installed cwm recovery via cmd
This is where I got stuck… Gave the “fastboot reboot” command on cmd
Phone automatically rebooted to cwm recovery.. And thats all it does.Im stuck in bootloop
