Use the root mentioned above. But the kernel still has init.d support, recovery, adb in recovery, and ro.secure=0

Did they fix the problems with wi-fi connection ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
How about you try? Every kernel which is for stock ICS will work. I even put link to recoveryNeo, so you can hotboot and just root, while you are on stock kernel.

Don't know, as I didn't have problem with 4.0.3. You try and see for us.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darky22:
My review :

official 4.0.4 is "fast" unlike the previous 4.0.3

1.Music player is crappy old GB style

2.No difference as per me

Conclusion : Going back to KA19 4.0.4 its more elegant than this, but for locked bootloader ppl this is what you wanted :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nimsb:
Does it have hardware accelerated UI?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Actually that's why it's strange, because before I seen it gets merged even when I quote someone. Anw, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure :)

Anw, here is something for users on locked bootloader. System zip, with root.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Yup, I'm here.

As I already said, you COULD try with mt11i fw, but not sure how it will mt11a act with mt11i kernel, most likely it will work.

But this is a chance to make mt11a .ftf file. Not much of users with mt11a around here, but even the ones who came, didn't make it :)

Don't want to sound rude, but there is no much purpose of that thread, since everything(steps or even files(99.99% of them)) is same as for mt11i, just what we need is mt11a firmware(for this kind of situations).

The only problem I seen with mt11a is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592469 other than that, no other problems.

But nice of you for trying to help. And among other useless threads, your one is not so useless ;)

Hi

When i try to flash my phone with .562 kernel using xperia flash tool, i get the following logs.

I see the Blue LED lit on the phone, but nothin seems to go on from ther onwards..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] archijit:
u connecting the phone in wrong mode. hold the back button while connecting. led shoule be green.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sundervalu:
I hold the Back button down and then connect the USB cable to the mobile. And the LED goes blue.. How do i make it go green.. i have tried the USB connect mode on both MTP and MSC mode.. Still the same..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] archijit:
use fastboot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Are you sure that you are not watching image on flashtool and connecting right button instead of left button?

You can always extract kernel.sin from .ftf with 7zip, and flash it in fastboot mode..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sundervalu:
I was exactly doin that :D.. Sorry bout that.. jus finished rooting my phone.. thank ya all :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
Okay thanks for closing the previous thread and sorry for spam

That method fails for me then:

So I have downgraded the android from 4.0.4 into 4.0.3 (downloaded that version: "MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_CUSTOMIZED-NCB-Nordic.ftf") and flashed kernel with wipe (I wiped all the data cuz I do not need 'em for now.).

I stuck at last step with problematic 4.0.3 version which I can't get deal with - that one:

3)download DooMLoRD's Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1601038

read instructions and root your phone

when I am trying to run the runme.bat and pressing any button I have something like this:

---Starting ---

---Waiting for device

*daemon not running. starting it now *

*daemon started successfully *

and after waiting 5-10 mins it just stuck and won't go ahead. Any ideas?

When I am trying to use Sony pc comparision or update center it brings me a errors like that "we can't recognize your software" - something like that. Or I am too stupid to root it lol.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Have you done everything what is written in that root toolkit?

I'm not on pc but I believe you need to enable usb debugging and unknown sources..

And about error, write exact error, not something like that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
Yes I did. Turned on unknown sources with debugging mode. And the rest of it I also did.

There are no errors sir, only msg I am getting I posted above and I can wait until my death and nothing happens. Also about ADB drivers, I tried to re-flash re-update the phone so they could have dissapear, but not sure.

I also did step by stepy like you did write:

1: How(for locked bootloaders): http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=141

so I clicked in the link and did another steps:

2: 1)Flash 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.431) ICS and boot phone (links are in post#1)

downloaded the ICS for MT15 (cuz for mt15i the ics does not exist) and replaced (Flashed) with my original one using options in flash tool program:

"Mode selector": Flashmode, in the new window I chosed "MT15"/"4.1.B.0.431"/"Global".

Firmware content I pressed: "kernel.sin" and wiped all of data cuz I do not need 'em (for the first time when I flashed I could have used system.sin option - cuz when I am trying to use and reflash with pc comparision or update service, it's only appearing that logo for me - idk if it's default logo after updating from 2.3.4 android into 4.0.4):

3: 2)Flash kernel from 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562) ICS and boot phone. Flash only kernel, don't wipe anything!

downloaded this ftf: "MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_CUSTOMIZED-NCB-Nordic.ftf" and reflashed with option "kernel.sin".

So it flased into 4.0.3 android without a problems, but when I tried to make this step:

4: 3)download DooMLoRD's Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1601038

read instructions and root your phone

it failed with the things I've posted above.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sundervalu:
Okay, here is how i tried. i downloaded the .562 kernel alone and flashed it. I have attached the Kernel that worked for me, u can give it a try and see how it works :good: . :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
When you flashed 431, why you flashed only kernel?

And if I understood you right, you did that while you were on 2.3.4?

Anw, just follow instructions. First you need to be on 4.0.4 then continue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
This also sucks, it does make flash but still my android is 4.0.4 with FW 431.

I upgraded my android from 2.3.4 into 4.0.4 about 2 months ago.

Why did I flash only kernel, cuz the tutorial said to flash only kernel. Here is it:

so I followed your step.

No, you didn't understand me. I wanted to have newest android so I only updated from 2.3.4 into 4.0.4 like 2 moths ago and wanted to make root. So I started with new thread yesterday.

I am on 4.0.4 right now and when I am flashing into 4.0.3 I can't root, cuz the message appears in doomlord's application:

So I stuck at rooting.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
If you are with 4.0.4 android atm you should downgrade it into 4.0.3 but I do not recommend that way of making an root, I already ****ed up my phone by this way and method that madfysh has provided here. Wifi does not work (I do not see the icon on the tray), also I can't use mobile internet.I guess I need to reupdate it with sony pc comparision and give it to the producer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Please, tell me, what is purpose of quoting entire large post?

And .587 is not out yet.

No.

Yes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
Well I guess I will not get any kind of help acording to my previous posts... How pity...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Just because you messed up your phone, it doesn't mean that it's problem with this method, since so many people have done it with no problems at all. And no need to scary people away from this method.

How pity?? lol? nice from you.. btw, people arent sitting here and waiting to solve only your problem. there is nowhere written in which time you need to get solution, so just wait, or try to solve it on your own, because, after all, this is XDA developers.

Just start from top, flash entire 4.0.4.(a.k.a. .431), flash kernel from 4.0.3 (a.k.a. .562), root it, flash back kernel from .431. Done! I done it xx times, and xxx peoples done it with no problems at all.

Turn off you anti virus program when running root toolkit. And just one last question, you are connecting your phone while it's turned on, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wolfender:
Some problems...

Madfysh, a problem up here. My girlfriend have the SE Xperia Neo, she have the 4.0.4 version, read and applied correctly your instructions and when the phone says that all it's OK, and just have to wait to restart... the phone doesn't restart. And when she does it manually, the phone doesn't turn on, and it's when she need to put the phone at factory state.

She made the downgrade and all the stuff, so I don't see where could be the problem =/ Sorry if I'm at a wrong thread, many thanks anyway.

Will this rooting procedure work on 2012 Xperias ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] petulinka1:
Neo V isn't 2012 xperia...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] y_v_89:
1. So, what is a '2012 xperia' ?

2. The question still stands though, Will this rooting procedure work on 2012 Xperias ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
Well I just want to "warn" them because that is not 100% safe (like everything in life), but as I can see ppl are have still problems with flashin...

I keep that in mind that you are not only here to solve my problem, but I hope that you are here to respond to help and fix it.

Okay so I have the 4.0.4 (aka .431) and I started with it (of course I turned all those options like unknows sources, etc). Then I tried to flash out into 4.0.3 (aka .562), but when it finished I boost/turned in my phone to check if it's really flashed into 4.0.3. Unfortunately it still shows, that's kernel 4.0.4... That's the main problem here

Antivirus program is turned off all the time

What do you mean? If flashtool says to unplug USB and turn device off I am just simply doing it, then pushing "back key" like in the instruction and plugin USB and it flashing.

These phones are prolly from 2012 year (release date of the products)

"2012 xperias" should have the same kernel/android like those we have.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Never mind, just continue. Kernel doesn't change build number or android version or even kernel version(it's same in 4.0.3 and 4.0.4, even though kernels are different), after you flashed ONLY kernel from 4.0.3 just continue with root process.

sorry, I meant when you connect your phone to root it, not to flash.

for flash it's ok to be turned off, but when you connect it to doomlord's root toolkit it needs to be turned on.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
ROOT .587 for LOCKED bootloaders

It's same as with .431, but as I can imagine some people would be confused if I add instructions to old post, I (mostly) copy/paste my old post.

Please don't ask when this or that fw will be released. If you see it it's here, if you find it, post it. I still need to check some of the ftf's floating around, as region is unknown.

ROOT for LOCKED bootloaders :)

1)Flash(if you didn't already) 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587) ICS and boot phone (links are in post#1)

1.1) turn usb debugging on

1.2) allow unknown sources

1.3) select MSC mode (settings->Xperia->connectivity->USB connection mode->MSC mode)

2)Flash kernel from 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562) ICS and boot phone. Flash only kernel, don't wipe anything!

Note: in settings->about phone: nothing will change, nor kernel version, nor the build number (That is OK)

3)download DooMLoRD's Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038

read instructions and root your phone

(in case you are on linux, thanks to cha0sxl go here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26927754&postcount=114)

4)flash back kernel from 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587) ICS. Flash only kernel, don't wipe anything!

p.s. yes, this works for both, Neo and Neo V.

For Neo users, in step 2, you use kernel from Neo V of course. And, Neo users, don't worry about errors when booting with .562 kernel.

If you don't see your contacts after importing them, go to menu->filter-> and play with settings here.

In case someone is afraid that his finger will slip and that he will wipe something while flashing only kernel, I uploaded ftf's with only kernel.

i did, i installed a clean install and update with PCC and then use the kernel 562 and rooted and flashed again the 587 kernel, my Xperia Neo V is way smoother now and i dont have arabic language and i use no v6 supercharger anymore maybe in future because its still a t6 version of zepp;)

I have downloaded ftf file for 0.587 kernel and then I put it on the firmware folder of flashtool program on my pc.

Then I connected phone and press lightning icon and then choose flashmode.

I choose only kernel of 0.587 file.

Start flashing

Flashing finished

Phone will reboot

But under setting device info my kernel version is still 0.431.

Where am I wrong??

Thanks,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
thanks all for the help, finally it worked, thanks madfysh as well. One more tip. If you are rooting you must turn on:

ettings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"

Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging

Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode

Msc mode is MUST.

thanks

I wonder if someone can make a stock .587 kernel with pre-rooted and cwm included. That would be great for unlocked bootloader.
