[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DevRocks:
Hi,

I am new to rooting and android world so please help me and tell what am I doing wrong.

I have SE Neo V. I upgraded from GB to ICS(4.0.4) using SE official update using PC Companion. (now the Build Number is 4.1.B.0.431)

I tried to perform rooting using DooMLoRD's method. But it gives following message and rooting does not happen.

"andorid emulator" trick
Credits go to all those involved in making this possible!

[*] This script will:
(1) root ur device using "andorid emulator" trick
(2) install Busybox (1.18.4)
(3) install SU files (ICS specific)
(4) do some checks for free space, tmp directory
(will remove Google Maps if required)
[*] Before u begin:
(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
from (Menu\Settings\Developer Options\Development)
(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
from (Menu\Settings\Security)
(4) [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes
(5) connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC
(6) skip "PC Companion Software" prompt on device
