Ok. I will try by tap volume button or screen. BTW i confirmed that CWM works fine. I rebooted to recovery via flashtools. I have 4 other android phones in the family (all rooted) and it is easy to reboot into recovery. I really need to figure out how it works :D.

Finally I managed to reboot into recovery :-). I found instructions from "KA-Ice-Cream-Sony" ROM install guide. It is tricky. Thanks for all your assistance.

At boot logo just keep pressing any key(I tried volume keys,camera shutter key and both loads to cwm) and if you installed cwm correctly (or use a kernel that comes with pre-installed cwm) it will load to cwm.At least this happens in my Neo V

Hi Pandemic,

I've upgreade to ICS using this talk . sonymobile . com / thread /35239 ? tstart = 0. Now I wanna come back to GB since i face some problem. Im rooted now in ICS. i know my root will be lost once i come back. I will them use ur (Re-Refixed Update)Xtra Noob guide to help you to get 62 rooted for Neo & V Locked Bl to root.

But can u help me how to come back to GB. On coming back, i'd like not to erase any of the data, game progress at alll. I have titanium backup installed and CWM installed and have taken one back up using CWM already right after im rooted with ICS.

Can u help me. Just in case, i come back to GB and supercharge, is it possible to unroot? And how??

Providing pointers would be helpful enough. Thanks for the all the helpful things you are doing. i really appreciate it.

Hi i am just a beginner, so forgive me for asking these questions.

Though after flashing fw, should i flash the baseband kernels seperately. Also, in order to root GB, can't i just directly go to ICS .562 to GB .42 and follow this guide to root. Will that not work ??

Ok I 've removed the battery and restarted and it worked. Can i try the same rooting method again or shoiuld i go with Doomlord's rooting tool kit.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Which one did you choose and do you have usb debugging on?, try the root tool from DooMlord if this dont work for you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] senthilrameshjv:
Sure, i;m going for Doomlord's. I had USB debugging on. But, this device already had .62 and .562 fw. Doesnt they matter when using Doomlord's

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

Thanks all, who helped. I finally rooted with DOomlord's tool kit. Now i'll do an OTA to .62
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
alright but you cant root 62 buddy, downgrade to 42 then root then update over the air with your phone and its done, it stand clear enough in the OP bro, and i dont know if you can root with fw 562 ;)

i update this thread soon alright, i have a little bit busy in the week, work etc ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
what's to update?:confused:

instructions for ICS are already here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597760

.62 is specific as it can be rooted via some toolkit's, but it need to downgrade. while <62 and ICS can be easily rooted with root toolkit's.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
A better guide like this for noobs main, you must know that now;)

Or is that not good of me because you have something on me again and i told you that earlier:s

Sent from my Neo V with superchargd ICS ^^
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Hm, ok, it's your thread, do why you like :)

I was just saying that ICS and all GB below .62 can easily be rooted via root toolkits. No mess with flashing, ota, .... .62 is specific. Only problem will be when Sony remove all GB form their servers, so OTA won't be usable here. Only solution is something like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446308

So I think there's no need to bother with instructions for ICS, but as I said, do what you like.. :)

Are you a kid? Nothing can be told to you, or question your ideas? Forums are for discussions of ideas, which is what I'm doing in this post and post above.

Anw, do as you intended. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Fine for you main and no im not a kid, but wth, you always argument on me? If im doing some wrong or anything else and dont look at me thread then if you have always something complain. But in Anyway.. I dont talk to you anymore;)

Here's a thought mate,anyone who even cannot understand how to use simple root kit made by doomlord for ICS shouldn't have root access at all cos after playing in system folders without knowing what you are doing he/she surely gonna brick their phone and spam in general section asking how to fix boot loop :/

Hey mates,

At first, sorry for my english;

Well, i have some issues with this process

i have a NEO from Vodafone with .62 bootloader lock and i want to root it

i tried to flash .42 with flashtools and always stops

dont show any error, only stops... sometimes at 1% others at 20%

then i must to use SEUS to use the phone.

I tried this method so many times and cant get nothing

I have searched here and htcmania.com and everywhere says

that this (pandemic's method) is the correct...

If you colud help i will apreciatte that¡¡:rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
this have nothing todo with you simlock mate, but if you flash to 42,

did you tick:

Wipe user data

Wipe cache ??

you must do that,

and then root with flashtool and if that dont work root with the toolkit from DooMlord, and the one from DoomLord is always working.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Cristi_Roman:
thanks it works... I rooted my neo :) I'm really glad.

Now I have a question and I hope you don't mind putting it here. Now I want to install a custom rom (the ka16 ice cream sandwich). Meddling with the android system is really a challange to me and I don't wanna ruin my neo(I love it too much). It says I have to unlock bootloader to install the rom. Is it ok to do it after I did this?

thanks again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Glad that its working for you, and yes i understand that you love your neo, yes you can unlock your bootloader, i did it with the official way, but i relock mine again ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
I have tried with both ticked several times.

I have tried both ticked and with EXCLUDE KERNEL also [DESPERATE MODE]

I have tried FLASHTOOL v.067 and v.0.6.9.1

I am on PC with Win7 and tried with ADMINISTRATOR PERMISSION

And nothing of this work for me....:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
thats really ****ed up, try repair your phone with pcc and do it again, and if it still doesnt work i dont know, i will think now, and find out how is that possible but try it 1st i have a little busy now bro ;)... sorry
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
When the flashing it's stops, at 1% or 20%, i can close FLASHTOOL or unplugged the device, i do both and the neo cant boot.

After that i use SEUS to revive and it works normally, then i rey flash .42 again and get the same issue... I tried unisntalling drivers, adb, sdk and flashtools (different versions) Also change .ftf

I did all that process about 10 times and never got a different solution...

I asked to gregbradley too and i will do the same again and post a screenshot.

PD: I try also press BACK button when I plug neo on usb to flashing process start and too pressing it during all the process. I tried too changing the mode of conection (MTP / MSC) I dont know what post i take those ideas...

Sorry again for my english

EDIT:

I add a screenshot of my problem. When in log change MTP to MSC its me testing that on phone on.

when i go to flash it :

i turn it off >>> extract batery few seconds >>>Open Flashtoolsx64 with admin permission>>>click Flash>>>select ftf .42 and press ok>>>Wait to the prompt and connect neo pressing BACK button;

then flashtool begin working and suddenly its stops like that:

Then i close Flashtools unplug phone, and i must to use SEUS to use the phone normally
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
@pollolpc: maybe strange question, but which version are you using, and do you maybe use it in linux?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
I tried v.0.6.7 and v.0.6.9.1 of flashtool both versions (x32 and x64)

I use win7 x64, I think to install linux but my girlfriend has my external hdd so can extract data before that...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Apart from the ics patch it works just the same as windows.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
I will download the update for flashtools if this will work

This updates are for 0.6.9.1?

SOrry for my english, i dont understand very well you want to say me
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
That log is not complete, flashtool had not finished, the patch is only necessary for ics.

Try again and just leave it a little longer don't have a copy of the log to hand but it should disconnect then detect in flash mode

Also run as admin is recommended for w7, if this fails uninstall the drivers reboot and try again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Actually no, at least in my case ;)

I also have similar problems with 0.6.9.1 version under ubuntu 10.04, one ftf stops on 20% other stops on XY% and throws some red error(don't remember which one).

Both .ftf files are flashed ok under win7.

That's why I asked him.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Lol that's cause you're ubuntus two years old......

No issues here on 12.04 and proposed updates
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
oldness of my OS release or any other release shouldn't take any impact on program like that.. but it is :)

anw, downloading 12.04 ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Yeah age of os and how upto date it is are very relevant to a dynamic software project, now I would expect a version of the same age or that first worked on there to still work, but not necessarily updated releases.

Besides an os as easy as ubuntu to update, with a six monthly release cycle, if you use third party repos will be lagging behind as although canonical do LTS the tp and community repos don't. And your two years is just up so even if you wanted paid support you would be out of luck.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
I left the NEO plugged for 30 minutes after the last message was showed. Nothings happen, then I unplugged the phone and flashtool log (that i havent yet) say:

flash procces end

disconected device

i will flash again and report the log

EDIT:

This is the log of flashtools:

This time i wait 20 minutes at 10%.

I didnt say before that i do that with and without sim or sd.

I cant post links so I write the ABOUT section of my neo:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Ok from that looks like the system.sin failed to flash, have you checked the md5 of the ftf. Was that as admin?

pull the battery, do not try and turn on try to flash just the system partition by unchecking everything else
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
I tried to check MD5 of file but i didnt can find a Hash of the original .ftf .42, so i cant compare... I check the md5 in win 7 and thats my hash:

I restore the phone with SEUS yesterday because I musted use that. You say to me that i didn "restore" with SEUS and I perform a flash again? Or you say that I have to flash only system..sin with WIPE DATA AND CACHE ticked...

Sorry for my english understanding and for the questions i do, Im so noob...

Thanks a lot for everything
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
No, if you've used sus your fine, but if you see that error when flashing that'd be what to do.

What version are you now on if 62 and you want root you will need to down grade.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
Yes im .62:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I want to flash it to .42 and then root. The problem is that i cant get 42, flashtool always stops randomly, at differents ".sim" with different %...

I dont know what more can I do. The 1st step fail to me
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Do you have another pc to try it in?

If not you could make a bootable ubuntu USB/cd to try from.

What java do you have installed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pollolpc:
Yesterday, after try 100 times, i uninstall all (Java included) and reinstall, Now i have the last version of the JDK kit 7u4 x64:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html

Then install sdk, drivers and flashtool.

After that, without beneffits, I desactive netframework (3.5) and reactive. Nothing go better also.

I dont have any other Pc right now but I have a few CD-Live of linux, which may i use?

Ubuntu its ok? Or other, i have somo of them with many time (these i had for other older pcs)

Thanks a lot, I'm going to read along the forum how-to-do in linux.:)

So here is the situation :

I was on .62 all rooted by this method with locked BL

I wanted to give ICS a try and unlocked my BL. Used for 2-3 weeks and was not impressed by it so i decided I wanted my gingerbread back. Got the .42 ftf ,flashed it , relocked my BL , but as I found out you can't use OTA no more after BL unlocking.

My question is : how can i have .62 rooted again ? It's not that big of a deal if i stay on .42 , but if there was a way would like to know how

Thx in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I think you should be able to use OTA after you re-lock your bootloader. You tried?

May I ask why not leaving your BL unlocked, so you don't need to mess with downgrade,root,ota..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marsx1984:
OTA has something to do with the DRM keys that went away. I tryed OTA and it fails.

I locked my BL because i saw no reasons to leave it unlocked(could not even do the pc companion update ) and I just wanted everything back as it was before when my battery lasted 3 days with moderate use , not 1-1.5 while using custom kernels and what not.

So if I unlock again how can I have .62 rooted ? Keep in mind I don't want any custom ROM , just the stock one.
