Check for partial wakelocks

And also check if kernel wakelocks are there

Also check cpu states if you get deep sleep, k?

When i ran the runme.bat, it did not go straight to the installing root stuff, it took much longer than you. It kept saying adb driver out of date killing... Like installing superuser su... adb driver out of date killing.. I have already installed pc companion and i follow all the steps.

Also after i flashed back the neo l kernel i rebooted and it first said android is upgrading then when i opened root check, it said i have no root access.

Thanks for the help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vasiulla:
Try reinstalling your adb drivers and root again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
The adb error happened once with me!

But I had kept flashtool running at that time!

So close it before running bat file!

Or else,simply install drivers and run bat file!

With USB debugging On!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] striker280:
im pretty sure i installed the drivers. It come with pc companion right? I also installed the file called flashtool drivers

finally

Guys in my first attempt, for some reason on my window it showed multiple "adb server out off date.... killing" when running doomlord\s toolkit, my phone ended up with a blinking red LED, (scary).. i tried reisntalling adb drivers but i ended up with questions on doomlord saytying, "are you root??" yep so it failed then i flashed back to the original kernel... then i searched for stuffs and found some forums talking about "droid explorer" and the error it does for some reason, and so i uninstalled it and tried reinstalling the flashtool drivers again..

now.. for my third attempt i did it! it rooted! shaking hands pulled the the chord away from the phone

ok ill be reinstalling droid explorer again (have nothing agnst you d.e. guys)..

thank you all for all yer effort in writing these tutorials :good::good::good:

now what to do, what to do.... :) :) :)

yes thanks a little late reading this, judging from what i did today yes i was able to flash it before with mt11 kernel on flashmode, but failed rooting, and i think i screwed up when i saw the red light scared me mixing up wht to do X_X..

tonight i just had to conquer my fear and believe :laugh: i posted somewhere here saying that taking away some program and reinstalling adb drivers enabled me to root with doomlord,the adb error was gone after doing so..

thanks guys im just so happy :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:

when rooting, shut down all phone programs on your PC.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
@musmir..

dude..why did you use PCcompanion...and now u cant use flashtool as debuggin is off...so if SUS can detect your phone..then try to use that..and pray!!

the reason we senior members ask you to read and read is coz we dont want you to brick your phones..

we cant help you if u r not willing to read..neo l kernels are already ther in my thread and this thread..u just had to flash the right one..but since you cant use Flashtool now..no point in gettin the kernel..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] musmir:
u mean Neo_L_4.0.4_MT25i_Kernel_Only??

u mean dis Neo_L_4.0.4_MT25i_Kernel_Only file r8?? but the thing is i saw the video in youtube were i should be flashing with MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf first and after that the above mentioned kernal. And the same thing is said here also r8?? am just asking am sorry if this is a dumb question..and this is what i did too.

DoomLord or something

doomlord link expired! :'(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Ya.... That's what you should do considering Neo L didn't have. 562 of its own!

Btw if Neo V kernel works on your device, why didn't you root?

You have to root after flashing. 562

Then flash. 587 of Neo L only!

I don't think this should be so complicated .dunno what you're messing up!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] musmir:
this is wat i did..

first i flashed MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf kernal..then i flashed with Neo L_4.0.4_MT25i Kernel Only. kernal...........but while running the runme.bat file i was getting error saying " specified path not found"..can you just tell me what i did wrong here please?? thanks..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] smashingeeks:
After flashing the NEO V kernel and before using the DOOMLORD's rooting patch, you need to make sure that your phone is ON. After flashing the NEO V kernel, take your battery out, put it in and then switch on the phone normally, it will vibrate once but you will not see anything on the screen. Just wait for 10 seconds and run the "runme.bat" patch normally (not Run as Administrator), and it should work without any problem. You can download the DOOMLORD's rooting patch from this post of mine.

I am assuming that you have USB Debugging, Unknown Sources enabled, and Connectivity set to MSC Mode.

Neo L cannot connect to cellular network

hi guys,

I followed the instructions here and successfully rooted and installed cwm on my neo l.

However, i notice that since then, it could not connect to my cellular network (GSM).

Keeps saying no sim found.

also, it can't seems to find my wifi, eve though prior to that, it could.

while I can find other wifi's, I can't detect my own.

I have another neo l side by side and the non-rooted one can connect but the rooted on cannot even see the wifi network.

then i tried using cwm to put in another ROM, but even though it says successful, during reboot, it gets stuck at the sony logo.

then I use one of the stock neo l ftf from here to reflash the phone.

successful, but the cellular and wifi problem remains.

Then I use SES to repair the phone.

successful, but the cellular and wifi problem remains.

Pls help.

At my wits end already.

flashing kernel is done by flashtool(only stock kernels).

download the kernel in ftf format.

download and install flashtool then paste the kernel in firmwares folder of flashtool.

now open flashtool click flash icon ,now select the neo l kernel , then it'll ask u to

connect ur mobile. Now power off ur mobile and connect cable by pressing back button.

thats it kernel'll be flashed.

And bro first search in xda before asking for a tutotial..:silly:

i've try to flash via fastboot but it's failed,it's say it needed root :(

i don't know what i must do.

one more question, is the loader.sin is same as any version of firmware?

I ask it because i've upgrade my neo L to the newer firmware version, .587, in this case, the kernel.sin of the one old, .479, is have different size with the new one, .587, same case with kernel.sin of neo V. and this case is same with the loader.sin of neo V and neo L...

sorry,i don't know what is in package of loader.sin and/or kernel.sin, i'm just member here and not yet a developer :) but i want to create an easy way to do all :D

I hope SF for neo L is created soon, so any dev can help us :angel:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
1) hm interesting, so you need to have unlocked BL even to flash stock kernel via fastboot. So flashtool is the only option.

2)yes, loader.sin is same for all firmwares, for one phone.

3).sin is .img singed with sony ericsson signature.

When you compile kernel from Sony sources, you get .img file. S(E) then sign it and then we have .sin files.

If you have question, can we make .sin files, answer is no.
