Yes i already flash it how many times but still it stuck in MT11. In SUS it only saying that i there's no upgrade available because it is already 4.0.4. :confused:

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Yes it is installed and i have done it with no running program in background. Im stuck in MT11 i tried neo v kernel but it doesnt continue only in sony logo and rebooted by itself..anyone have a complete flash file of neo l? i have only kernel.ftf but i think its not enough to have my neo l firmware back.:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karkand:
No, SUS also has a feature to repair, which will have to download the latest firmware for ur device(mt25i)

have u upgrade to the latest firmware before, .587 ?

because in 1st post is for .479 version..

============================================

here is the neo L kernel for .587 version
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jhepoi26:
SUS says that there's no software available for my phone. I think the problem is that im stuck in MT11i firmware and already flash the link you have given to me. Still no luck my firmware is still MT11 and my build number is 4.1.B.0.431. What would i do? Maybe a full firmware of MT25i i need to flash.:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
.....

i need help guys..

i followed all the instructions..

usb debug

unknown sources

msc/mtp

no seus/pccompanion/etc

flashed to neo v

but all i get from doomlord's runme.bat is....

"read-only file system"

im about to cry and thinking i have wasted my money on this unit..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sdato001:
You may try this firmware, it is based on the original neo L firmware:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762372

It is always a good practice to have a copy of your original firmware before trying anything on your phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
yoyoyoyoyo

will try it tomorrow after work.. thank you so very much.. hope it works.. so if i understand it correctly my stock rom will be replaced with xperia play rom, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sdato001:
If you only flashed kernel from neo V to your neo L, then just flash kernel from the neo L. If you flashed the complete firmware from neo V to your L you will need to flash the complete firmware in the link I provided you. It is not Xperia play's firmware, it is the original Xperia neo L firmware with the build prop modified for xperia play. I have not found any complete firmware for xperia neo L. It seems that xperia play and neo L are the same device, just removed the gamepad.

I believe that xperia neo L is already supported in Wotan server, but restoring your firmware with Wotan server will cost you 1.99 EUR.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
.........

I see.. but just to be sure, i will first start a back up using seus.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jhepoi26:
I already tried that on my phone but my phone stuck on a neo v firmware MT11i and i can't bring it back to its original firmware. Hope someone share a complete firmware of neo l coz i need it badly!:crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
......

why don't you try sdato's posted link? it has a firmware of xperia play
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vasiulla:
Try this...

First Flash the kerne 1st post.

Then run SEUS and connect ur device when it asks in flash mode (By pressing back button).

it should flash it now.:good::good::cool::cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jhepoi26:
Still no luck my phone are still in MT11i:( Do you have a backup of your firmware the link a have given to you? Can you share it to us? I don't know to use fastboot i already look for it but failed to understand the procedure, and adb server is out of date when im trying to root it using doomlord's rooting kit. A have also tried killing adb in task manager but still no luck i have installed drivers and also updated. It is almost a week now searching how can i solve it.

I already done that that but still no luck, It is in MT11i firmware no matter how many flashed i done with MT25i kernel only. That why im looking for someone who will share a complete firmware of it. SEUS only says that there's no available firmware for my phone.:crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
...

im so sorry.. i have a terribe internet connection right now.. i have a downloadspeed of 30kbps.. yes its 30 kilobytes per second..

i will try again..

p.s. i have already rooted my phone.. haha.. if it says "read only file system" and then "try disabling/enabling usb debug mode" , all we have to do is wait.. and then it will be rooted.. that is all that i have missed.. hahah
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jhepoi26:
Ok i will looking forward for that. Greatly appreciated!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sdato001:
Using Wotan server is always a good option, paying 1.99 EUR to fix a phone is not that much money. You need to pay via PayPal. I used the service in the past, when it was free, and it restored my phone without any problem. If your phone has an unlocked bootloader then PCC os SUS will not fix it.

are you sure? have you tried flashing neo v f/w to your neo L fone?

so if that is the case,then i can have gingerbread in my neo L? is that what your saying my friend?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chandarakk:
u mean we install original NEO V firmware in NEO L ? MT11 in MT25 rite?sorry for my bad eng
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jhepoi26:
Ops sorry i mean i tried Xperia Play it's all working. But Neo V camera doesn't work and even charging, other function i don't know.:p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
....

if we use xperia play's rom, we can use custom kernels of xplay for our neo L, is that correct?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jhepoi26:
Maybe because it is compatible but i haven't tried yet.:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] meghanath reddy:
sory but can have a clear view of the process of flashing and rooting of sony xperia neo l

and if it is in the process of flashing from flash tool then flash tool is not identifing xperia neo l
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] meghanath reddy:
hey i had done the flashing of the kernel MT11i_4.1.A.0.562 ...............but after that my phone had stuck to black screen and is unable to open and unable to run the DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox

can any one say me the way to get out off this problem

sory for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jhepoi26:
It's ok to flash MT11i just to root your phone, mostly you get error rooting the phone just keep a try and check if you installed everything. If you still get error and want your phone back just flash this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/99376792/Ne....0.4_MT25i.ftf and your phone will works again.

Credit goes to the visiulla and thanks him...:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
Hi there, can I ask you how did you flash the stock firmware and can you post the steps and software utilities that you used, I already have little knowledge about flashing, but I don't want to make any problem on my device so I want to confirm first the procedure and necessary files...thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

How I Root My Experia NEO L

Reminder!!! There are lots of good instruction out there!!!

This is not to encourage anybody to follow what i have done on my device, but i just want to share my experience how i managed to root my Sony Experia NEO L 4.0.4...So if you have the courage to do the procedures, you can freely execute then...

Good luck!!! :victory:

*Preparation

Make sure you have installed ADB drivers.

On Your Phone;

Enable "USB DEBUGGING" Go to Settings > Developer options > Check USB debugging

Enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" Go to Settings > Security > Check "Unknown sources"

Ensure that you choose "MASS STORAGE MODE (MSC)" Go to Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > Select MSC mode

**Utilities & Drivers

Flashtool link here

DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip link here

ADB installer link here

***Kernel

NEO V 4.0.3 MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_KERNEL

NEO L 4.0.4 MT25i KERNEL

****Steps

1.Install all necessary drivers.

2.Flash NEO 4.0.3 KERNEL ONLY with flashtool. (i'm assuming that you're already familiar using this tool, now just choose kernel.sin)

3.You'll only have blank screen since we flash 4.0.3 kernel after flashing, but that's fine.

CLOSE FLASHTOOL and open DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su folder, and simply double click on "RUN ME. BAT".

4.Read and follow the on screen instructions, your device may reboot a couple of times just wait until the script finishes.

5.You are now rooted but still have blank screen...

6.Open Flash tool and flash the kernel again, but this time you are going to FLASH NEO L 4.0.4 MT25i KERNEL ( just choose kernel.sin)

(You may ask how to connect your phone on flashmode:D. Disconnect your phone from PC, pull out and put back your battery and do what is instructed on flashtool window)

After flashing NEO L 4.0.4 MT25i KERNEL, your device should now boot properly, then you have completely rooted your device!!! Enjoy :)

DISCLAIMER!

Flashing your mobile is at your own risk, may void your warranty and I would be in no way responsible for any damage.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Are you 100% sure you flashed Neo L 4.0.4 kernel at the end?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
I have few questions?

Did you install ADB drivers?

USB Debugging enabled?

Unknown Sources enabled?

Select MSC on USB connection?

Did you properly installed your phone drivers?

Ensure that you have all those...

Before you use DooMLoRD, have you successfully flash NEO V 4.0.3 KERNEL using FLASHTOOL

Did you maybe leave your antivirus turned on?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] adoy41:
do u just copy the whole steps? no need to do that
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
ROOTING

* you will have complete admin rights on your phone. You have access to write files to the system partition, delete all the files, or uninstall system apps.

* OTA updates possible.

* Warranty void

UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER

* you will be able to flash an entire new rom or a custom recovery.

* OTA update available, you can receive but will end to error when you install. ( don't worry FLASHTOOL is there to help :) )

* Warranty still void

***All DRM data will be deleted, even you try to re-lock DRM, it will not be possible to restore. TrackID won't work either...

I've read some forum saying that there is new market version of TrackID available and works well on their device...

as everybody's saying...the first to blame is ourselves not others, no one will be held responsible on any damaged this process may done, so proceed at your own risk...

if you still have any doubts, you can do more research about you queries...

NO, you don't have to...

After flashing Neo V kernel, close flashtool and open DooMloRD's Tool for rooting...(just click runme.bat)

If everything's goes well, you have rooted your device, BUT STILL HAVE BLANK SCREEN.

Now close DooMLoRD and open FLASHTOOL again to flashback NEO L Kernel and your device should boot normally afterwards...

Hi, I'm new to android. I tried your method for rooting neo l. When I connect my phone to pc, the flash tool showing me a message that the device couldn't be recognised. I was asked to select one manually. I tried every of the listed device, but every time I followed the procedures, it kept showing me that the driver isn't installed. Kindly, help me please.

P.S. I have installed the flash tool drivers using the link you provided above.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
If you're having trouble installing the drivers, please do f the following options;

Option1

Download and install sony pc companion on your computer, then connect your phone and it will automatically detect and install the drivers.

Option2

Download driver from this LINK, and extract the package on your desktop (for easy pointing)

Connect the phone to your Windows.

Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.

Look for other devices, (yellow triangle with exclamation).

Right click and click Update Driver Software.

Click on Browse my computer for driver software

Click on Browse and select the folder you extracted on on your desktop, click ok, then click next.

You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.

Your driver should install and your screen will look like below.

You have now successfully installed your phone driver and you can proceed on rooting.:angel:
