[Custom Recovery] Xionia Clockwork (CWMA v1.2518.6)

I'm not sure if you're trolling me. Be more specific.

Should the sdcard not be in the phone? Cuz that doesn't make any sense.

Should the phone (with the sdcard in it) be plugged into the PC but "USB use" not enabled?

Trolling you?? Funny!

SD card stays in the phone, plug the phone in to your computer using your USB cable. Do NOT mount your phone to the computer. Meaning, do NOT enable USB storage.

Then follow the steps in the OP.

Worked perfectly. Thank you.

This is why they call us newbs. We don't KNOW that you plug in the phone but don't enable "usb storage", and we're mad about it, too. :)

Is the OP poster still around? He/she could really stand to update this to clear up this kind of easy-to-avoid confusion.

Anyway, thanks again.

I just reinstalled this to day after switching back from zvh to zvd. Even so it took me a few minutes to figure this out, mainly dew to the fact of not enabling usb storage. It wasnt in the directions, so didnt think of it.

Hey guys, I have a small problem when I try to install Xionia...
I did what the guide told me step by step, but when the phone goes to recovery, its still clockworkmod's recovery :'( . I hear that it's unstable for certain roms so I want to switch over to Xionia. I did this 2-3 times but the results were the same.
Can anybody help me? Thanks

Copy everything on your SD card off, format it, ONLY PUT THE TWO FILES NEEDED FOR THIS RECOVERY BACK ON, retry. Yes the phone will create a few folders on there no big deal. There's another method but you dont want to go down that road yet.
 
@ ichihollow
I'll try that right now. Hopefully that would work. The xionia will remove the clockworkmod recovery right?

edit: YAY!!!! It worked!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

If you on your phone download and run term emo, if you're on your computer you'll use adb, do you knot your cmd(comand prompt) commands? If yes CD into the directory that you downloaded the sdk to and then CD into the tools folder then type adb shell and then type in the commands on the first page if this post has lost you send me a pm and give me about 30 mins to get to a computer and ill tutor you on using adb. Not joking or being sarcastic.
