Does below states that my phone (after pasting *#*#7378423#*#* it still says "No" in info) is not able to be unlocked by non-paid versoin of s1tool?

or

I shall upgrade to compilation 62 - now phone is in 4.0.2.A.0.42 - and than try to unlock it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vimjam:
if service menu shows 'no' then you definitely need paid setool to unlock your bootloader...

rooting

@vimjam

i have a NEO V with .062 tried doomlords tool (it closes before i can see the whole thing ) writes done

I m not rooted

I have usb debug unknown sources and adb drivers instaled .

do I need something else?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
You cannot root 0.62 with this method.for 0.62 you have to use this method
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
you can do this to:

downgrade your Neo V to firmware 42 and root again and install cwm and then flash the zipfile in my sig the red one through cwm and its done and you have rooted 62 and you dont need a full factory reset or wipe things, just flash;)

open error: "The system cannot find the file specified"
Elapsed:59 secs.

What file is missing?

I've used the unnoficial method for unlocking, installed CWM, downgraded to .48, rooted, updated to .62.

EDIT:

Apparently you have to hold "back" button the whole time until the procedure is over. It must be the reason why I couldn't unlock the bootloader at first attempt too - I thought it was due to .68 fw, though this seemed a bit strange.

So if anyone have this problem, hold the back button the whole time until the procedure is over :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] satiros:
thank Thilina you very much for your answer!

I think (although i like compexity i found it complicated method)

Than you Pandemic for you answer

!),to downgrade do i need unlocked bl?

2)And I have already asked do i get in thread with all the roms .042 has it got greek?

I would like to add that everything got a lot complicated with .062

A clean total solution has been writen in any of the threads here in xda with all the contigencies

Anyway im very skeptic going custom!

60 or more days to ICS from SE and by then a wave would arrive with fixes and workarounds

One noob question : When i connect test point and ground , how i start phone without battery? and i start in fastboot ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
where did you read you need to power on phone?

anw, answers are no and no..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ppihus:
You don't need to start the phone. Although I did put the battery in it's place while testpoint and ground connected. Not quite sure if it's necessary but I believe it is. Use as thin wire as you can, then it is possible.

You don't need to start your phone, only plug-in the USB and then disconnect it again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CrowsZer0:
can someone help me. im new to this phone and i can't unlock the bootloader of my neo v

On your phone, push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. The unlock button may differ between different phone models. See the note in the bottom of this page for more information on what button use on your phone.

On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.

Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.

Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.

Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader. This may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the unlock boot loader key you got in the beginning of this instruction. The boot loader should now be successfully unlocked.

i can't get that steps because whenever i connect my phone to computer with USB cable it didn't asked for drivers..

What shall I do ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
You have to install ADB drivers first. Am too tired to switch on my laptop now. Use search :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kgthenerd:
Oh yes i got it, it's 12W22 that's why i'm getting that error :D

screw sony i'll bootloader unlock this phone via official ways, who cares about OTA, DRM and blah stuff. (btw is it really required?? :confused:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I think Emma(google if you don't know what's it) with dongle can unlock it, but it's very hard to find that kind of person :)

About DRM, well nothing much, before it was problem with track ID, now it's solved with new version from google play, I also think some walkman app can't get track data/info because no DRM certificate, or something like that, I never tried it so I don't know, but I remember reading it somewhere. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

About OTA, well technically you wouldn't be able to use it even on unofficially unlocked BL's. Not 100% sure, but some report problems.. bigger problem is that you can't use PCC or SEUS, but if you don't care about that, flashtool is here :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kgthenerd:
I hardly use PCC or SEUS, i usually flash rom with .ftf files using flashtool, so who cares about them btw this phone belongs to my dad.

he barely listens to any music on that phone so i'm not much worried about Track ID stuff. OTA c'mon i want run cm9 on this till it lasts who cares about stock firmwares?? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jeetBLswami:
i m a newbie in this device...:)

after relocking bl? will i get my warranty back??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
depends.. if you unlock it official way(sony dev page), they can see it was been unlocked, because DRM certificate is missing, if you unlock it unofficial way(s1tool) I believe they can't see it was been unlocked(I'm not 100% sure on this one, but 99%).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jeetBLswami:
so i should go for unofficial way so that i can get my warranty back after relocking???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
why you ask me that? :) it's not my phone, not my choice :)

I used unofficial way, but that's just me, I think it's better than official. If you don't do it right(pick wrong test point) you can mess up your phone. But after you do it, you'll see it's not so hard.

Anw, read some posts around here, and decide :)

All that can be done with setool.

Please advise me, it will be helpfully if you give me a link, i have search on a lot of threads and read all this NoobGuide but the version presented is 5.0.2.7 also i have rooted and unlocked my bootloader using testpoint method. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
All custom kernels have CWM inside them. And since FXP rom demands custom kernel and can be found in FXP rom, FXP137 kernel should be ok.

Technically all CWM above 3 should work ok.

Hello there.

I don't want to ruin the thread, but maybe I can get more help here...

I make this one some months ago: this thread

I got an answer but, not the one I was expected ^^

So maybe, someone else can have a look here.

It's about kernel flashing.

Everytime I tried to flash a custom kernel, I get stuck at sony boot logo.

If I put a stock one, it goes on.

Very strange...

So I decided last week to try flashing a custom rom that supports stock kernel.

But same thing, after flashing (without any errors), I get this sony logo and nothing happens.

I'm talking about it here.

I hope it can get more views, and maybe an answer.

ps: unlocked BL (with testpoints), rooted, CWM.

i have been able to root my neo L, also installed cwm 5.0.2.7, used x-parts app to go into recovery and do a full back up

however if i choose boot into fastboot, its just a plain restart, i cannot get to fastboot. what do i need to do to get into fast boot? also what is the key combination to go into recovery from device off position?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Recovery(depending on version you using)- during boot process, repeatedly pressing back key OR volume down OR tapping on screen

Flashmode- phone turned off, press&hold back key and connect cable

Fastboot mode- phone turned off, press&hold menu key and connect cable.

Rooting for Sony Neo L - MT25i

I have a sony Neo L and I realized there is no separate forum for my device! I thought of asking it here instead of creating a new thread since this is the closest device for my phone apart from Xperia Play. Does anyone know why there is no separate forum for Neo L despite 3 months has passed since it was launched??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
You have to make requests to mods for separate forums.

There is no separate forum for Neo L. Neo L things are posted on neo dev section.

There is a thread somewhere in xda where you'll have to make requests.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Just cause x months has passed is not reason to open new forum. What does matter is popularity of the device. Same how Xperia Pro didn't get it's forum, simply as it wasn't popular.
