I'm sure it doesn't say .431 for kernel version but something else :)

Anw, nothing supposed to be changed after flashing stock kernel, they have same version numbers, at least in ICS

Finally :cowboy: :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] y_v_89:
My Neo V runs the Official 4.0.4 ICS 4.1.B.0.587.

In order to root it I flashed the MT11i_4.1.A.0.562 kernel.

Unknown Sources and Debugging and MSC mode, was checked in phone settings !

I did not get any errors during the flashing process.

The following messages appeared at the end of the process:

....

- Flashing kernel.sin

- Ending flash session

- Flashing finished.

- Please wait. Phone will reboot

- For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings

- Device connected in flash mode

My phone did not REBOOT

Something Is Wrong ?

Can I continue with rooting ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Nothing wrong, just disconnect it and continue with the process.

Everything is okay, I used bold for you to notice about flashing progress. It's all okay.

My phone also didn't reboot, but do not worry and after that line:

You can just go ahead and make root progress

@Madfysh

Idk what I have done that it worked, hehe. But is there any kind of way to root newest version 4.1.B.0.587?

I thought about making flash for 4.0.3 android, then root it and reflash for .587. But I can't find the newest Nordic version for my phone. Any help Madfysh?:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] y_v_89:

MT11a

Hi There!

I'm having trouble with 4.1.B.0.587.

My phone is the Xperia Neo V MT11a.

I installed the ftf of MT11i and it worked but i can't acess 3G data plan...

I think i need the ftf for MT11a for it...

Do anyone have it for .587 version or i have to go back to 431?... :(

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] hminhhoai85:
Your rom really suck!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AltairFriend:
So, Sony doesn't support Arabic or xda developers doesn't support Arabic :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dellipri:
If I flash 0.587 kernel and then reboot my phone, under informations there is still buil number 4.1.B.0.431!!!!

Where is the error??

Is this also for others that have installed 0.587 kernel version??

Fabrizio
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I didn't try 313 su but I did try 311 binary, and had problem with app(rVoix) for recording voice calls. It should start when phone bootup, but it doesn't.

Don't know which fault is that, and didn't have time to investigate, so I'm using old su+binary, which works ok.

But thanks for sharing ;) Will test it.

Awww, I bet you feel special when you have opinion different than other xxxx users who use his ROM, and call it one of the best.

Anw, it's free to have opinion, it doesn't have to be a nice one, like your is, it suck, so move along with you "not suck" ROM ;) :rolleyes:

Again? I already answered to your last question about same "problem". Did you read it?

Dude, what the heck?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dellipri:
I have read your message but I want to know that if someone has installed 0.587 kernel has this info under phone information, otherwise how can I check if I have 0.587 kernel version?

Fabrizio
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
You can't check it. Both kernels have same number, it's just we call it differently.

btw. why flashing .587 kernel on .431 build? testing, or?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dellipri:
I want to flash 0.587 kernel version because I have read an update released from Sony for Neo, and it is with kernel 0.587. In fact I have also asked if someone that has installed this kernel version has noticed differences between this version and the previous one.

Fabrizio
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] SSyar:
what do u mean by customized ??

and the first link shows.. MT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Global.ftf.zip its not Nordic .. !?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
It's how they are called by Sony Erricsson them self. It just mean it's customized for that region. Usually only difference is few apps+/-. And in case branded fw's (from tele operaters) we are talking about bit more customization..

Yes, it's Nordic. Global doesn't exist. People call it global because it's not branded. You can think of Nordic as non branded version to.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bhz21:
MT11a .587 ftf, anyone? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
You can use the MT11i ftf as the only difference between i & a is of radio - if am not wrong :)

P.S. For this purpose, exclude BB while flashing!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] known2u:
im on 431 fw...I got ota update notification for .587

should i update through pc companion or ota to get good performance?? i dont want to lose root
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bhz21:
Hi bombayboy.

Thanks for the help.

I tried the ftf file for MT11i but the 3G data plan doesn't work.

So... I guess only MT11a can handle it, since it has these differences:

HSDPA 900 / 2100 - MT11i

HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - MT11a
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyline159:
You won't lose root if you update through OTA, but do not use OTA if you're on unlocked bootloader, your phone will be bricked.

If your bootloader is still locked, either is fine, OTA will download only the difference while PC Companion will download the whole .587 fw before update so OTA is faster and keep the root remain.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cellabonez:
I have a mt11a too and I am mt11i build.431 custom Rom xperia pureness no prob with 3g plans in Jamaica where are you from
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
Hi,

Did you exclude Baseband while flashing?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Tested it and yup, rVoix doesn't start after reboot. Need to ask both creators what could be the reason.

Anyone else having app which starts automatically after reboot and using latest superuser?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] baomap90:
U should use SuperSu w 4.0.4, SuperUser is useless, I tried:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
What do you mean by useless? Working perfectly fine in every other way other than automatic start. Which can even be fault of the rVoix app creator.

Btw, it's not problem in superuser app but in su binary(and I believe same su binary is used in both, superuser and superSu), as if I leave superuser 3.0.7 and update only binary, app rVoix doesn't start anymore.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cellabonez:
No I didn't for it doesn't matter just read through this post and you will see when I was asking everywhere for the same thing
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bhz21:
I'm from Brazil.

My carrier (Oi) uses the 2100Mhz frequency for 3G network...

I didn't exclude baseband... Just installed the ftf via Flashtools....

2G works ok, since i'm able to receive and make calls....

But 3G... :(

Do you think if I install one of these: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504700 basebands via Flashtools it can solve my problem?

Or maybe install the 587 indian ftf.

If doesn't I think i'll go back to 431 today if i can't find an 587 ftf fot MT11A.

Thanks for the help, people! :)

-------------------------------------------------------

Yay! I did it!

I manually added the carrier with all the parameters and now i can access 3G!

Thanks everyone who helped me! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
crap, another problem, I finally flashed lower kernel - 4.0.3 android (.562) with success and rooted, but after reflashing it to version - 4.0.4 (.587) my xperia does not want to start. It goes to the XPERIA screen and after it's restarting. In flashtool application it didn't show any kind of errors.

Looks like I will use OTL (or whatever it is called) to update my phone - my bootloader is locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
i did this for my neo v and it was working fine i untick exclude kernel to 562 root and flashing the kernel to 587, so no probs, thanks madfysh ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ganjab:
It's official ics to neo dont v?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] known2u:
I want to do OTA update to 587 so that i dont loose root. Problem is that when i do ota update after reboot it says could not install try again.

I have removed some bloat and also replaced some system files with mods. i have locked bl and official 431 rom customized for nordic region.

1. whats the reason of error?

2. can i update to 587 by flashing kernel from ftf file?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
1) highly possibly because of you replaced some of the system files,

2) update is not only kernel, so answer is no.

Why you people always say, I don't wanna lose the root. Rooting of 587 is few minutes of work, mainly because you need to wait phone to restart few times.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cellabonez:
In Jamaica it's 850 and I used Nordic but glad to know it's working have fun trying those custom roms :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] known2u:
:victory: updated through pc companion...will root again :) ...thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
It happened. After flashing/reflashing with rooting, my phone is screwed up. After reflashing some version of kernel my phone suddenly stopped "working". What I mean, after plugging it to the battery charger, the LED does not show any kind of colour for charging. Should be green cuz of charging the batter, but it is not like that... When the USB is unplugged from the mobile phone and when I am pressing power button mobile does not want to even start. Different story is when I am trying to "charge" the batter, phone started itself turning on with "SONY" screen, then later showed up "XPERIA" screen and rebooted. Gladly I flashed with official updater and going to give it on varanty. I will try another root with direct application.

Thank you for helping anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
:) looks like problems don't want to move away from you.. sorry to hear that

what kernel did you flashed?

does led light up when you start your phone, even a blink for 1 sec?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] osmancan71:
thank you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
Yeah, waiting for .app root version like someone did it on 2.1 android..

Tried with both .431 and .562

well when I unplugged battery charger from socket and I wanted to turn on the phone if I remember correctly then only the LED did light with the "red" colour for like 1 second - something like that. During battery charger and after I orginally flashed using the update servicer application the LED was green and phone himself turned on and restarted. After flashing to the orginal android and turned off USB cable the green LED dissapeared with the same problem as before.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
@dexyz: sorry man, I really tried to bend my mind around your problem, but I'm losing the facts. I kinda lost you what you did, when you did and so on..

If you took your phone to service center already then ok, if you didn't start new thread in Q&A section, and write every single bit of your storry.

I mean you had working phone after rooting, what you did after that is confusing me.

Write what is current situation of your phone, does it turn on, does it vibrate, does LED turn on, even for a 1sec, is it detectable in flash/fastboot mode, is it detectable by PCC/SEUS/FlashTool? If it start, and then reboot, write when does it reboot, bootlogo or bootanimation.

People sometime think it's meaningless, but every single info can help.

You say your phone is bootloop-ing when you connect it to charger. Tells me that you have problem with your system, some files are missing, like some people have problem when using kernel and rom which are not compatible.

If now you can't start your phone, try holding menu key and then you try to turn it on (while still holding menu key).

Flashed .587 NCB on MT11i, after that flashed kernel from .562, i have rooted with DooMLoRD method, now i flashed .587 kernel again. In this point was .587 NCB rooted, but this wasn't naught i have installed CWM, and after that flashed The Alliance Kernel 1.5 full, installed SetXperia 1.5 and StabilityTest 2.5. Now i have activated the overclock option in this scheme:

750mV @ 122MHz ; 800mV @ 245MHz ; 800mV @ 368MHz ; 850mV @ 460MHz ; 850mV @ 576MHz ; 900mV @ 652MHz ; 900mV @ 768MHz ; 950mV @ 806MHz ; 950mV @ 921MHz ; 1000mV @ 1024MHz ; 1050mV @ 1113MHz ; 1050mV @ 1209MHz ; 1100mV @ 1305MHz ; 1150mV @ 1401MHz ; 1200mV @ 1516MHz ; 1250mV @ 1612MHz

I have set to normal use the range from 245MHz to 1401MHz, for under 30% Battery 245MHz to 1024MHz, and for ScreenOff 245MHz to 768MHz.

It is very smooth, stable, and responsive i haven't any random reboot yet in 18 hours... the battery drain in 12 hours was 30% .

Now i wanna ask the people who know better if this values are good for MT11i MSM8255 Snapdragon i know that i undervolt a little the CPU but i was afraid to not burn it and to remain with an Neo (TR)ASH :p. I have also observed that the CPU runs on smaller values, for example when is set to run at 921MHz it's run at 886MHz and some values are not usually used. I will be thankfully to who wanna advise me if have/how to modify something else to obtain better performance. Thanks in advance!

Which version do you use it??

Or this:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Most of the things that you find on talk.sonymobile, came from here, from XDA :)

Files.. even some instructions are from here..

One little note, there is no India ftf for MT11i, it was just Nordic but Abhiheart didn't know that. I just removed that link. So you can use Nordic ftf. I believe that's what y_v_89 is using as that is the only(at the moment) region, as far as I know. Don't have my Neo V next to me to check it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] y_v_89:
Any Sony's Official ROM supports all languages.

There are some regions that their ROMs does not show all languages in the language menu.

In such case, install 'MoreLocale 2' from Google Play and choose your language.

Is there any way to root .587(unlocked bootloader) without use a custom kernel ?

If not what kernel do you suggest for better battery performance ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
You need to flash or hotboot any kernel which have CWM(I even put you one which is made just for CWM to hotboot it) flash superuser.zip and after that you can go back to stock kernel.

Sometimes even though i am connected to an active WIFI connection, i would still need to turn wifi off and then ON again to actually get Internet to work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Swordfish20:
I think i made a mistake. First i flashed the attached MT11i_4.1.A.0.562 kernel into my Xperia Neo. But the phone would constantly crash so i flashed the attached MT15_4.1.B.0.431 kernel back into the phone. Now my sms messages are gone and my contacts as well. Luckely i store my contacts in my SIM card. So thats not the point. I'm only having trouble with importing the contacts from my SIm card into my phone.

Am i doing something wrong? :confused:

Can i solve this problem so that i dont loose my personal settings and stuff?

edit: problem solved was filter issue. But still my sms messages are gone :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
You even quote my message in which I said that errors are normal and they will be gone after you flash Neo kernel back.

About your contacts, after you import them you still don't see them? Check this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29100971&highlight=visible+contacts#post29100971

I never heard that sms's are getting wiped in root process :confused: I guess it's related to errors which you get when you flash Neo V .562 kernel on Neo.

p.s. Can someone with Neo(MT15i) tell me what errors are shown after you boot up .562 kernel from NeoV(MT11i).

TIA ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] addictivesundew:
can anyone here make a PRE-ROOTED 4.1.B.0.587 ftf???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Swordfish20:
Sorry... your right. I misunderstood your text about the errors. I thought they might happen in flashtool. After i flashed the .562 kernel, the service android.phone crashed constantly, so everytime it crashed i had to enter my SIM pin number. It never occured to me that you were talking about these errors :o

After flashing back to the .431 kernel i lost all my SMS messages. I never came to the point of rooting with the toolkit from Doomlord.

I will try your tutorial again tomorrow after i backedup all my contacts first.

Thanks for your reply.

edit: There were no errors on bootup only after entering the SIM pin number.

Guess I am late for I have flashed in alliance kernel 1.5 . Is it based on stock
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
I guess new thread is unnecessary because I just went for my phone and they just messed it up...

Before I did give my phone to the warranty the phone:

1. Didn't turn on without USB charger, it does only when charger was connected with phone automatically switching from Sony screen into XPERIA and restarting over and over.

2. I do not remember if it vibrated or not (prolly it didn't - but not sure).

3. Without charger the LED only showed red colour and turned off. When I connected my phone with USB after rooting to the new software from SE application the LED light with green colour and phone started, but when i unplugged USB phone went off.

4. detectable in flash/fastboot? if you mean in FlashTool, the phone wasn't detected.

5. When USB was plugged it was detectable because I reflashed it with original kernel. After that I started to update from PC Comparision application.

6. It does restart after "XPERIA" screen.

I just received phone from the shop and idk how did they make that my phone is "revived", but it does now start without USB charger, phone itself starts. In warranty card they say that phone is updated - they made an upgrade from 4.0.4 android into Gingerbeard (2.3.4) - LOL and they only did that step. I do not believe they just did an update without making some other options.

Sorry for not responding but I did await for my phone. Now I have 2.3.4 Android with 4.0.2.A.0.62 soft and I am thinking of reflashing it to the .52 and rooting and after use OTL to update it on the 4.0.4
