[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
you are clearly not in FLASH MODE..

you need to be in FLASH MODE in order for you to FLASH

read carefully on how to connect the phone in flash mode
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] starlut:
please tell me how to connect in flash mood. i first connected it while its on. then, power off. after it, i drag and drop the mt11 file on flashtool screen. i followed the rool. i unpluged the usb. then help the back key and connected it to the pc.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
and what did flashtool said after you did that?

btw.. why you selected U20? From all other devices you picked U20 :)

I actually don't see MT25 device in flashtool. How is flashtool recognizing Neo L, as which device?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sodomized:
drag the FTF file

-when flashtool prompts for you to connect the phone:

-before you connect it follow this:

-PHONE SHOULD BE TURNED OFF

-PRESS AND HOLD BACK BUTTON THEN CONNECT USB TO PHONE (WHILE PRESSING THE BACK BUTTON)

-there is a green LED light if it is on flash mode
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] claurhiz:
hello kababayan!

can you please update the LINK for the driver cause im having trouble with the driver
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
The first and most important thing is to be sure that Flashtool recognizes your phone

1.Start Flashtool.

2.Connect the phone with the computer via USB cable.

3.Wait till flashtool shows that your device is recognized. You will see your phone model on "Connected device:"

(Since MT25i is not yet listed on flashtool devices list, you can choose MT11,

it will still recognize your phone and will show your current firmware on " Connected Device")

4.Disconnect your phone from your computer and turn it OFF.

Now we are going to set Flashtool to flash the Neo V Kernel on your device.

If you have downloaded Neo V Kernel & Neo L Kernel, go to flashtool installation directory and paste it on FIRMWARES folder.

for me its installed on C:\Flashtool\Firmwares\ (paste both Neo V Kernel & Neo L .FTF file here)

1.Open Flashtool.

2.Click on LIGHTNING ICON and Mode Selector window will appear.

3.Select Flashmode and click OK, Firmware Selector window will appear.

4.We need to flash NEO V Kernel first, so select MT11i from the left pane, and KERNEL.SIN from the right pane and hit OK.

5.Animation window will appear showing how to connect your phone.

6.Press and Hold Back Button (dont release yet) and plug you USB cable into your computer.

(BLUE LED WILL LIGHT UP WHEN YOU SUCCESFULLY CONNECTED ON FLASHMODE)

7.Flashtool will start searching and you can only release PRESSING & HOLDING BACK BUTTON when the tool recognize your device and start flashing.

8.Wait till Flashtool finishes flashing.

9.Now proceed on STEP# 3 on my post HOW I ROOT MY XPERIA NEO L and complete the remaining procedures.

10.PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY...

---------- Post added at 04:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

The given link is still working, anyway i've uploaded the latest one, it is from flashtool 0.9.8.0 you can download it from HERE

Open the file and select the driver for your device.

Regards :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] starlut:
i got these. but, the problem is which color should it be light up? green or blue? its always green. and, when the green light lit up, the pc stop responding. if i play song on background, they keep playing. but, no response from the pc.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Green. He made a mistake. Blue is for fastboot mode.

You said you are on XP, are you by any chance on SP3? If yes, can you boot your PC in safe mode, and then try connect your phone in flashmode.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] starlut:
yes, i tried. he pc didnt stop responding. but, the flash tool doesnt detect my phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Ok, first thing. Is your phone discoverable by PC Companion or by Sony update service?

Can you repair your phone software?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] starlut:
yews, i can do that. and, i updated my phone with sony pc companmion.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Good. Now delete/uninstall flashtool, download latest version and install it.

Start flashtool, turn on your phone, enable USB debugging, allow unknown sources, and connect your phone to flashtool.

What does it say? If it asks you for which device are you using, use MT11(or R800 if it doesn't work with MT11) not U20!

post the log.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] demolish_:
Hi there! I have neo l too, bl locked and not yet rooted.

After rooting, will tun.ko module be pushed to system if I use tun.ko installer?

Thanks! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] starlut:
finally done with the 0.9.8.0. thank you both for helping me to root my phone. :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Finally! :)

And how is latest flashtool recognizing neo l when you connect it while its turned on? Does it still offers you to chose or?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] starlut:
it doesnt detect my phone automatically. it asks me to select a phone from the list.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Natsikap:
Thank you sir

i did all this

plus cwm recovery and oc kernal :D

now my neo L is super fast at a safe 1.5Mhz

cheers

Hi

How can we intregrate CWM to Ram Disk I have searched a lot found nothing.. so My stock kernel does not have RamDisk integrated.. so after each flashing Kernel it need to have CWM installed again... I think if CWM integrated to RamDisk MIUI porting will be easy...:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] troyholio:
flashtool dont have mt25i

hey guys fnally gathered strenght to do this root-flash thing, when suddenly, flashtool doesnt have Mt25i on its list,.. how's that? ive installed adb/flashtool drivers,. umm or should i select "neo V" on its list? thnks guys
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Always read thread before you start.

Yes, you can chose Neo V.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] troyholio:
cant flash

my neo-L can't be flashed too, i went through flashing mt11-kernel then rooting with doomlord, but i guess they failed, they left my phone with a blinking red LED, i cant enter FLASH mode, SonyPc companion requires me to do the same entering phone to flash mode, (unplugging usb cable, hold/pressing back buttin, then reconecting to PC..) but i only get red lights.. what's happening? is my phone bricked?

ps. the last part of rooting a NEO-L was flashing the kernel back to 4.04, but i cant flash it cause i cant enter the Flash mode too..

help!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Did you dont get it??

Its impossible the flash the Xperia Neo V (mt11i) kernel on a Xperia Neo L, now you get this what you told:s

Best Regards

..:: P@Nd€m!c ::..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
How did flashing of neo v kernel went? Any errors? You have log?

Can you connect your phone in fastboot mode? menu key+cable? what happens?

Wrong, it's what they need to do. They can flash Neo V .562 kernel just for root, and then flash back Neo l kernel. Phone won't turn on but enough to establish usb debugging.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b00tbu9:
While you are at stock rom you need to enable usb debugging then flash Neo V kernel .. Then turn it on n connect to pc Try Doom Lord rooting method(The screen won;t turn on) when the doomlords batch file window says press any key to exit... remove the device from PC then take out the battery to turn it off. Now flash Neo L kernel to boot into rooted firmware,,, TO TURN OFF PHONE YOU NEED TO TURN REMOVE BATTERY
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] demolish_:
I'm having a hard time to decide if i should flash my neo l and let the bl unlocked :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b00tbu9:
Take a leap of faith into real freedom.... :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] claurhiz:
bootbu9,

i have installed the AOKP rom you have ported without flashing the kernel CM9_new.img

I have problem with my wifi because i cant turn it on.. Is it ok just to install the AOKP rom without installing the kernel CM9_new.img?

Anyway I skip installing kernel because after i flashed the kernel in fastboot my phone goes blank after switching ON and i cant boot into cwm recovery.

FYI my device is already rooted and unlock bl.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b00tbu9:
Hi buddy you need to install kernel..get the one with governers n oc. That is a must for wifi to work... I will post the links to kernel asap ... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] man ding:

android ver: 4.0.4

build number: 4.1.B.0.587

thanks to all that have made this really work
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] demolish_:
Hi buddy, if it's not to much to ask. Is there a way that you can try tun.ko installer which can be found in play store.

I wonder if the stock kernel is compatible on loading the tun module.

I really want to use droidvpn for fast and secured browsing.

But if not, I guess I should wait for further updates. :good:

Feed back is highly appreciated since i assume that your bootloader is still locked?

Re-Upload of full firmware of neo l

sir, link is disabled, can't download, could you repost it somewhere downloadable? i really need that firmware :) thanks..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
Download link

Hey bro, I appreciate your immediate response.

1.One problem though, do you have any other links for the kernels aside from 4shared?

I tried searching thru google, I've seen some links but I am worried they are not the same file you posted.

And oh, btw.

2.Will this delete any files on my phone?(apps installed, settings, messages, etc?)

3.The flashtool drivers that i have to install in the flashtool drivers setup is arc-play-neo-acro ADB driver?

4.In the Id flashtool should i choose MT11 SonyEricson Xperia Neo V or MT15 SonyEricson Xperia Neo?

Thanks :)

Sorry, Im really new to the android world.

*You need to have account on 4shared to download files :), here's the new link anyway...Neo L 4.0.4 MT25i Kernel and 4.0.3 MT11i Kernel

2.Will this delete any files on my phone?(apps installed, settings, messages, etc?)

*Kernel, userdata, system are all separate, flashing one doesn't mess with the others.

3.The flashtool drivers that i have to install in the flashtool drivers setup is arc-play-neo-acro ADB driver?

*Use the latest Flashtool version for updated drivers

4.In the Id flashtool should i choose MT11 SonyEricson Xperia Neo V or MT15 SonyEricson Xperia Neo?

*Choose MT11

How to unlock bootloader????

I have successfully rooted my phone, but now im wondering how to unlock the bootloader since it is not supported on sony's official page so can someone pls make a tutorial???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
yes you can...did you read the instruction carefully from this LINK?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
cant flash neo l kernel

Hey bro.

Please help. My phone now just have red blinking red light.

The last thing I did was double clicking runme.bat, it show a lot of errors i dont remember what are those.

its like failed to install superuser.apk etc etc.

now when i flash the flashing tool doesnt work when i try to flash the neo l kernel. my screen is all black.

although when i connect my device on a computer with mobile go(android manager) i can see the screen.

that possibly is wrong? please advice :(

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
did you follow the instruction given here here ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
...

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

I think i missed this part. I'm quite sure usb debugging is check.

not sure about the other 2 though. :(

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

anybody else here? please help :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
Enabling Unknown Sources would allow you to install application not coming from the android market.

And if I'm not mistaken, MSC MODE is for the computer to access your mass storage for transferring files while on the rooting process.

But don't worry cause your phone isn't dead yet :D, just flash NEO L 4.0.4 Kernel (KERNEL ONLY!!!) back, then your phone should boot properly.

Complete the settings, and you can do the rooting process again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
okay. my problem now is that i cant flash the phone. the flash tool tells me to plug it while holding down the back button. the pc seems to detect my phone but the flash tool keeps asking (the animation) to plug it. here is the screen shot (if this would help) from the flash tool

oh cant post links yet :(

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

Ok i was able to flash it back with neo L kernel.

My bad the phone is turned on while im trying to flash back to neo l kernel.

I'll be charging my phone, until i get the sufficient battery charge

Ill try to follow the instructions again from the top.

I got questions though, when i tried to look at my sms, contacts. they are all gone :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] chleoj:
It's nice to hear that!!!

It is a must that you make backup first upon doing any modification on your device, but you are lucky enough to revive your phone, and if you still have that luck, you would find your contacts on your SIM, so start importing contacts from there (maybe there's a backup) but sorry for the mms...

regards
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b00tbu9:
That one is a common mistake.. Not backing up contacts while trying to Root or unlock bootloder..

The tft file has a dummy user file which will erase the data section of your device, hence remove all contacts.. etc.. but u also can opt out from it...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
...

i got my contacts on the sim. although when i copied them to the phone the first time i got my device, i edited the phone contacts for formalities.now i have to edit them again, not a problem though, my concern is the previous numbers that i have saved on the phone contacts not on the sim, anyway. i cant do anything now about that i guess, still lucky to have my contacts on my sim. :)

my bad. really.

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

Everything goes well, (at least based on what i see no errors until) this screenshot while running the "runme.bat"

I continue to flash back the neo l kernel.

the phone booted. and i notice the extreme lags.

and to my suspicion the phone is not yet rooted.

Any input guys? thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b00tbu9:
Are you trying to Root an unlocked boot loader or a locked bootLoader..?

unlocked is easy locked flashing n flashing back.. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
...

how can i know if i got a locked/unlocked bootloader again?what code should i input in the dialpad?

man, this phone lag is killing me T.T

I inputed *#*#7378423#*#* to dialpad. service info > configuration

rooting status:

bootloader unlock allowed: yes

it that what you mean?

does that mean my bootloader is unlocked already?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b00tbu9:
that means unlocking bootloader is allowed..

Go to Service Info>Configuration> and check the rooting status.. .if it says yes your bootloader is unlocked

"bootloader unlock allowed: yes"-- means you are allowed to unlock bootloader..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
...

so does that mean my bootloader is unlocked?

so what can be the problem? T.T
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] b00tbu9:
your bootloader is not unlocked that's what I understand..

then your phone bootloader is unlocked
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rwhryz:
...

okay. how can I unlock it then. :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] V@no:
Hello.

Love everything about this phone after switching from HTC One X, except for the camera app.

Do you think we could ever get the same functionality as on HTC One X when there are two buttons on screen at all times for video and photos?

Right now we have to switch between the modes, and only if you don't change any settings you have ability snap photos while recording videos. This is so cripple and not user friendly.

Any chances we ever get anything close to HTC One X's camera app? Or is it hardware limitation that would not allow such functionality?

P.S.

What's very annoying to me about SGS3 camera is that every toggle setting require two taps because of useless dropdown menus instead of checkboxes or such...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dunderball:
Coming from an og htc incredible and I also had an incredible 4g for about a week before I exchanged for the S3.

I actually much prefer the one button against the two. I find that when you ask others to take a photo of yourself and some friends, there's a lot less confusion when someone else is using your phone. I really find that to be the hugest plus.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] V@no:
Well, apparently your main concern is what others think about YOUR phone, not how it's useful/efficient for you (no offense)

From my experience, 99% people asking what to press when I ask them to take a picture, regardless if there are one button or two...

Right now the camera remembers which mode was last used, which might not only confuse, but also can take a few extra seconds before you be able snap a pic.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DCRocks:
I would say the first step is to post in the HTC phone's section, and ask someone to post up the camera apk file, and then see if it can be renamed, then placed in /data/app and launched.

If it launches and works, request solved, if it doesn't, you know that additional files will need ported, and it will probably not be as easy a thing to do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jmorton10:
The one thing that annoys me about the stock camers app is this:

When you open the camera app, you can change the 4 shortcuts on the left side of the screen to other options which is awesome. The problem is that the shortcuts always reset to the default everytime you shut down & reopen the app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] V@no:
I've tried that, it would FC after a second or two.

It probably would be easier build from scratch rather then try port anything HTC...

Hey guys,

Where is the AT&T located in terms of the layers of glass/plastic? I've heard of the sugar cube thing to remove branding and I want to know if it will work on this phone. I know the One S can do that to remove the branding.

I have a screen protector on right now but if its been done then I'd gladly take off the screen protector :) hehe
