Installation via Clockworlmod (CWM) recovery.
1) First, let's review what we will deal with:ClockworkMod recovery
(CWM) - a modified unofficial recovery, which is available for most devices running Android. It has much more features than native recovery. On some devices it is installed instead of native recovery, on other devices it is installed in parallel. Allows:
Install unofficial firmware
Install add-ons and fixes
Connect to PC via USB in removable storage mode
Connect to PC via USB in ADB mode
Create a backup of both the entire firmware and its individual parts (system, settings, installed programs)
Recover data from previously created backup
Reset the data to factory settings (Wipe - data / factory reset), clear the cache partition (wipe cache), clear the dalwick cache (wipe Dalvik-cache), clear the battery performance statistics (wipe battery stats-do this only as a last resort!)
Format and create partitions on a memory card
If you cannot turn on the phone and download android, you can always restore a previously created backup with all applications and settings via CWM. To enter the recovery (CWM Recovery) you need to start the phone, when the Sony logo appears, press the "C / C +", or when the diode lights up and the vibration passes - press the Volume Up key.
2) Navigation menu:Navigation
Buttons may vary depending on the version of the installed CWM
volume up button - up.
Volume down button - down.
on / off button - select item.
context menu button - scroll down.
Home button — select an item.
back button - back.
3) First of all, always do BACKUP: (System backup)Backup
- Launch CWM recovery (when turning on the smartphone, quickly press the volume up button)
- Choose "Backup & restore"
- Choose "backup"
- Choose "YES"
- Select Reboot system now (reboot)
After that, a full backup will appear on the memory card in the clockworkmod / backup folder. The name of the backup copy includes the time and date of its creation, but the name can be given arbitrary, of course, in Latin letters without spaces.
4) After that we can go directly to installing mod / firmware / kernel / getting ROOT rights, etc.Installation
a) Throw a .zip file on the internal flash drive (in most cases)
b) In the recovery, select the install zip from sdcard option
c) Then choose choose zip from sdcard
d) Find the file on the SD card and click on it
d) From the set of items No choose one single "Yes"
d) After the installation is completed, click once back (to go to the main menu) and click reboot system now.
5) In case of unsuccessful installation, or if you did not like it, then restore BACKUP:Restore / Rollback
- We are entering CWM Recovery;
- Choose "backup & restore"
- Choose "restore"
- Select the previously saved backup. It should be on the memory card in the folder clockworkmod / backup.
- Confirm the recovery, select "YES". The confirmation item is usually not the first one on the list, this is normal
- At the end of the process, select "Reboot system now" (reboot).
