just a question.

In Neo bootloader is unlocked but when the sim is puted in it.. do NOT recognise it..

I think this is a bit big problem:)

can anybody help with it?

edit: opened with Wotan.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] manemzjum:
i have a few questions regarding testpoint method

It does not say what state the phone should be in (fastboot/recovery/booted up usb debugging)

Also does the battery have to be in or out as in pics shown the battery is removed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Yes it does say state, chekc screenshoot of s1tool, phone needs to be turned OFF and battery needs to be OUT.

Good luck.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
How can i connect my device in fastboot? Im not really getting the hang of it. I want to flash the kernel: Glaxian [which doesnt require unlocked BL.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
dont understand this?

and what makes you think it doesnt require unlocked bl?? any custom kernel require unlocked bl.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
Wait, so..to get into fastboot i need an unlocked BL? Because i have gotten into fastboot [with the blue LED on] although it wasnt able to get anything to work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
No.

Fastboot can be locked or unlocked, depends on SIM lock, branded phones have it locked.

Bootloader is 100%locked by default.

You have non-branded phone(right?) = fastboot unlocked. That means you can enter into fastboot mode, BUT, you can't do anything smart, as your phone won't accept anything other than STOCK kernel. Not sure what you done in fastboot, and what "wasnt able to get anything to work" means to you, but, unlock BL so you can use custom kernels.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
So my understanding of a bootloader DOES remain intact.

And by "wasnt able to get anything work" i meant unlocking BL, rooting and installing CMW. I did, however, manage to root my phone.

How do i use the flashtool to get into fastboot? If i can, ie.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Well based on your previous post, not really :)

But read my last post once more and ask if you don't understand something.

if you gonna unlock your bl official way, then you need to enter into fastboot, if you gonna unlock it with s1tool, you don't need to enter fastboot, and now i'm talking only about unlocking procedure, not flashing custom kernel.

root and cwm can be installed on phone even with locked bootloader, for firmware's <.62

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

You can enter into fastboot mode, but with locked BL, what would be the point? :)

Anw, click on flash button(lightning icon) and select fastboot mode
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
No i have unlocked a couple of BLs before. My understanding remains intact, my conditional knowledge does not. This is kinda diferent from the 1st gen Xperias and samsungs.

I tried the setool way, my PC does not, well, shows the popup for driver installation at all, thats what my problem is pertaining to. Also, i dont really need to setup an environment to unlock it, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] htcgr:
is there root for .069 ???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Not sure I understand your words. First I guess you mean s1tool. And you say that when you connect it it doesn't show popup for driver. Tell me exact steps what you do and how do you connect it.

Not sure what you mean by environment, but only drivers are needed.

Yes!!! Go and read few threads in general section regarding that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
I completed the circuit by test point wire. then i connected phone to PC via usb and i was supposed to disconnect the test wire when windows popped up a notification regarding driver installation, but that didnt happen.

As for environment, i meant additional java plugins and files if any required.

And i take it, only drivers are required. this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=910008 [driver only pack]
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] htcgr:
is the same way to root like .062 ???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Just to make sure, phone was off and battery was removed?

Do't know about those drivers, as I see those are only adb drivers.

I used the one from s1tool pack: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22521932&postcount=38

Yes. Nothing tricky changed in that fw, no performance change, no new features..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22782551&postcount=7
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
Yes, battery removed. [The circuit wouldnt complete with battery attached, now would it]

So, now, i am compelled to use the official method?

And there is now a way to, well, use SE services, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aarush:
I am facing the same problem, windows just doesnt read the phone :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] th3discodancer:
did you try uninstalling the drivers which it accidentally may have pickeed up? I was able to figure that out AFTER I unlocked it the official way. but m not completely sure, still. try connecting phone in fast boot mode. control panel. device manager. there will be a distinct hardware with , err I can't recall the name, still, something resembling setool. I think you should uninstall that and then redo test point thing.

if still you don't get any luck, I'd suggeat the official way. its hassle free and easy. follow the video tutorial by this user called theAndroidSoul on YouTube on unlocking boot loader. Damn easy.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aarush:
tried every possible thing but no luck -__-

@abirokz:why pressing back key?

back key is for flashmode..

back key doesn't have absolutely no relation to unlocking bootloader. Even though in one place of log it says to hold back, but s1tool skips that part.

s1tool needs drivers which are installed(by user) only after you connect testpoint and cable to the phone.

@Aarush: can you open up device manager on your pc, and connect testpoint and cable, and see which new device appears there, it doesn't need to popup, but something will appear in device manager.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] abirokz:
Yea u r ryt..i directly installed all drivers..didnt wait for the computer to recognize it..:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aarush:
gotta check that.

you installed the drivers for flashmode, not with testpoint attached and still u succeeded, weird. Im not getting this s1tool

its confusing me :O
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] abirokz:
Hi aarush its pretty easy to unlock bootloader using test point method..:D

jus u have to bit care more..thats all..by that u get all the advantages..;)

I installed these drivers..pls find the attachment..and do the correct procedure step by step..i messed up with the steps first time..finally i got suceeded..:)

Hi,

I am trying to unlock the bootloader via Sony's website. After I Accept the risk, agreement etc., it asks to put in IMEI number. The IMEI is 15 digits however the website says it is invalid and I need to enter 14 digits IMEI. What is the deal with 14 digit IMEI?

Please ignore. I did not read the instruction closely. I unlocked the bootloader. Now the pending question is how to reboot into recovery. Cant want to install new ROM.

Is it possible to dump ftf from a device and how?

I would be glad just to dump current kernel, since it's a bit long procedure to get to a rooted .62 fw.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
No.

Erm, what?:confused: you wanna dump kernel to do what?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
I think he is asking how to make a ftf of 0.62 with a custom kernel that have cwm pre-installed so he can just root instead flashing the kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
If that's what he want, then no. We can't sign custom kernels.

But still, how hard can it be, hotboot custom kernel, install zip with SU, reboot, install CWM. And that's it :)

new devices-no more un-official BL unlock

Looks like we are facing units with new security, which bootloader's can't be unlocked with non-official way, meaning, you can't use s1tool.

But you can still use official way, from Sony developers page.

How to know if you have unit with old or new security?

Remove battery and find something like this XXwYY which means phone is manufactured in year 20XX and YY'th week.

Phones with higher number than 12w14 can't be unlocked, you can try, but (most likely) you will fail. You will get this error: qcReceivePacket: can't get packet start.

There is no harm in trying. You can try, if you have new security, nothing will go wrong, you will just get error.

More info here: http://support.setool.net/showthread.php?32395-New-security-in-MSM8x55

EDIT: of course, if you have newer phone than 12w14, that doesn't necessarily means that you won't be able to unlock it. Some phone factory's may use new hardware later. So try and good luck ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vimjam:
thanks for the heads up Madfysh :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leobitencourt:
If I relock the bootloader will I be able to use the warranty in case I need to?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
If you use official way, basically they can still see if your IMEI is in their list.

If you use un-official way, you can relock it and chances they will know it was unlocked are smaller. But problem is that we don't know how s1tool "repatch" bootloader.

If you are thinking which way to go, I say un-official way a.k.a. s1tool.

But still, until now I haven't heard someone had problems at service center because of unlocking BL.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] leobitencourt:
Thanks, man!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
No problem.

One little note, since you are new here, we have thanks button, which is replace for posts which just say "thanks". That way you express your gratitude, and in the same time you keep forum cleaner ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darkmxz:
it says no.... and i cheked with s1tools and the loader version is with "r" and erom_version with "r"... that indicates that is unlocked i think
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Yes, bootloader is unlocked, but your fastboot is locked. When tele operaters lock your phone on one SIM card, they also lock your fastboot.

You need to pay to SIM unlock your phone, and by doing that you will unlock your fastboot.

You have more options, omnius-server, find someone(like jinx13 for example) with setool box, wotanserver, or anything else :)

2. RootXperia.zip method

This is an one click PC app for easy rooting created by Bin4ry .

Steps

2.Download RootXperia.zip & place it in your SDCard

3. switch off your device & power it on & when you see the sony ericsson logo start pressing the volume download button repeatedly untill you see recovery options

3. select the install zip from sd card option and select the RootXperia.zip

4. after flashing the zip is completed reboot device & voila rooted !!!

plz explain it i am not able to understand

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
You probably downloaded drivers, so that when you connect your phone, windows will report new device and you can point it to that folder.

But, judging by screen shoots from your post, you successively connected your phone to flashtool, so drivers are ok.:confused:

Btw, in flashtool folder you have drivers folder which contain .exe.

Now, download DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip from link I posted few posts before, extract and run, then report here, and if you fail, put entire log of root process.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vetdrchandan:

if u dont have ADB drivers for ur device then just download this:

A wipe will be required after pushing the changes to your phone, since the database must be recreated.

You need two changes, one in ContactsProvider and one in frameworks/base
