Is MT15 same as MT15i?

Or i have to look around for MT15i kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
There is no MT15, there is MT15i and MT15a.

Not sure where you found it, but if it just says MT15, than most likely it's MT15i so you can use it.

Here.

My android is on the version in the step one.

After i updated it using software that came with the phone.

Can that work or do i have to use the one provided in the link in the first post?

Also i do not understand step 2 at all.

could you explain?

Should i flash to 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562) or what?

Flash from, seems confusing?

Flash from what to what?

Is it a mistake in text or this is something new(for me) in English i do not understand

Sorry I'm totally new to android but i hate the restrictions so much.

I just want to get access to root folder.(Be admin)

Do i just need that MT15 file in the link i posted above?

And that flasher.

I just don't want to go ahead and try it out without being sure.

EDIT:

I think im starting to understand

So i have the latest one 4.0.4

I go ahead and flash it back to 4.0.3 using that flasher in the first post and that MT11i_4.1.A.0.562 kernel.

I run that rooting toolkit(driver for NEO installed)

after it's done i flash it back to 4.0.4 again with the kernel from your links in the link above.

Am i right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
There you go.. after you read it few times you got it.

More or less that is the point.. 562 kernel->root->587 kernel, just follow instructions and everything will be ok.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] StereoBucket:
Ok i have done it.

Well all my widgets disappeared and i have to readd them onto the screen.

Thanks.

Ill comment again if theres something that went wrong.

Pozdrav!

Please don't quote entire post.

Link is ok, problem is in mediafire.

Guys, read error a bit better. They blocked file or should I say files, which have been downloaded many times.this one is ~16k.

I'm not sure about other written reasons, but I contacted them and waiting for response.

Just quick question, were you logged in mediafire when you tried to download?

EDIT:

Looks like mediafire is acting strange.

This is what they replyed to me after I asked them..

Why I say strange? Because I have files which are online for ~1year, and have been downloaded >25k times and never had that problem. Maybe that's something new, but they acted like it's forever like that.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Rosh547467:
First rooting experience

Today I rooted my neo v for the first time ever.

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

My Neo V details before the procedure:

OS ver: GB 2.3.4( 4.0.2.A.0.62)

bootloader: Locked.

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

This is what I did,

1- My OS was GB 2.3.4( 4.0.2.A.0.62) .So upgraded to ICS 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587) using PC companion.

2. Still locked bootloader.

3. Flashed 4.1.A.0.562 kernel using Flash tool.

4. Done rooting with the help of DooMLoRD's script.

5. Flashed back 4.1.B.0.587 kernel using Flashtool.

6. Root success:o. :cool:.Tested with rootcheck apps from google play store.

7. Installed CWM from x-part app downloaded from google play store.

8. Installed Titanium backup app and took back of whole app+data.

9. Downloaded custom ROM Xperia ultimate HD 3.0.2 and installed using cwm reboot recovery.

10. Reinstalled my old applications from google play store and restored data from Titanium backup.

After the above procedure:

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

android version : 4.0.4

Baseband version: 77

Custom ROM : Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2

Bootloader: Locked.

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

I must say the procedure was completely hassle free. And the output was butter smooth refreshing OS.

I added this experience for newbies like me who are playing with the OS for the first time.

Now looking forward for more mods. :D

Thank you all for helping me to upgrade my phone.

PS: I Spend 2-3 days to read different posts dealing with rooting,unlocking bootloader, flashing etc to get the basic idea and best method for my phone.

You have a unlocked bootloader

So you can use custom kernel

I recommend fusion v5.4 or lupus v5 with mike's AOSP

Download fusion or lupus kernel

Download mike AOSP rom

Download gapps

Download Flashtool

Install Flashtool

Install drivers for your phone

Copy the rom to your sd card

Switch off your phone

Press the menu button and connect to the computer

The notifications led should be blue

Open flash tool

Click on thunder icon

Select fastboot mode

Select the kernel from the directory where you saved it

Wait for few secs When flashing is done

Remove the phone and turn it on

When you will see the boot logo press the volume down or back button to enter the cwm recovery

Format data, cache, system and dalvik cache (advanced menu)

Now select install zip

Browse for the rom zip

Select yes

Now again go to install zip and select the gapps zip

After flashing is done

Select reboot system

Could someone recommend me a kernel which improves battery life? I'm currently using the night elf kernel I believe, with the 3.0.2 HD Xperia ROM, and I have the feeling that my battery is draining quicker than normal. I'm fairly new to kernels,custom ROMs, rooting, etc.

Btw, if I swap kernel will this affect my current ROM (settings,apps,contacts)?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
How is this thread related to your question?:confused:

Ether use general chat thread in Q&A section, or use your thread which you created yesterday, which btw. have useless thread title..so you might wanna change it.

Sorry, I started a thread about it with a proper title in the right section(I guess/hope)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
In stead of creating new thread, you could just edit thread title of old one.. :) anw, never mind..

btw, swaping kernels doesn't mess with your contacts, apps or settings. Have in mind that kernel needs to be of same type as rom.

stock based rom stock based kernel:

GB rom = GB kernel

ICS rom = ICS kernel

JB rom = JB kernel

stock based GB rom = stock based GB kernel

stock based ICS rom = stock based ICS kernel

CM based rom = CM based kernel

This update never arrived for my dutch carrier, but using the Flashtool, this upgrade was pretty easy. :)

I've been using it for two months, but it quickly became very sluggish, delays when unlocking or when typing.

I understand this is a bit typical for this official update, is there anything obvious I can try except trying a custom rom with different kernel?

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Also, a suggestion (I cannot post in the developer forums yet).

There is literally a forest of roms, kernels, and possible combinations.

Someone took his time and made a list: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316394

Unfortunately, as a relatively new user it's not so much use to me, as there are a few basic conditions that I cannot check.

- Which roms and kernels are the most popular?

- When was it last updated?

- Which ones will suit my needs best?

Going through them one by one is just tedious.

A wiki table/spreadsheet would be much better for comparison (example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software)

Columns could be: title, creator, latest version, latest version date, Android version, based on, non-functional items, additional comments.

What do you think?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
The Roms which are active and regularly updated will show in the first 2 pages..in the devices dev section...

well first decide which android version you want..nd then search in the dev section..

i know its tedious..but i doubt anyone would actually make a comparison spreadsheet...so you gotta search for yourself..

Just looking at the thread title would tell you about the android version, updated date etc..

GB and ICS roms..evrything will work..

its only in the JB roms..that things like hdmi, panorama wont work..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Frankly speaking maintaining that thread ain't an easy task...

And on top of that a spreadsheet for this doesn't sound feasible to me by any means especially when our phone is not an Xperia Z :p

--Popular Rom can be asked for,checked via ratings,posts, or by personal choice

--Last update date should be in thread title technically or atleast in changelog

--Your choice, well,we dunno what's your choice,

The thread is there, hunt 'em down n try out a couple of 'em!
