To answer your question,

Try goin to fastboot mode,flash any kernel.... I believe if you can't... You have a locked bl....

Most likely,it would be locked if you didn't fiddle with it beforehand!

@lonewanderer

Very good and professional work!

A real All in one , must be stickied in order to update some very old Threads that can be confusing.

I've just upgraded my MT11a from stock FW and I discover that it is by now a full maturity product giving one of the best price/ performance ratio.

no need to go to multicore device now!

Thanks again

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Good to see that u finally managed to get it rooted :good:

"which is the best rom for NeoV" - On XDA, you are not supposed to use these words together in a sentence even if lives depend on it. :D. we can only suggest a few roms but u'll have to decide the best one for you.. :good:

RESPECT ALL DEVS

If u wanna have JB, you need to unlock the bootloader...coz they arnt available for locked ones..

hi my build number is .631 i want root...

i tried flashing .626 but the build number doesn't change.. maybe kernel only?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Rooting steps remain the same!

And your build no would change only if you flash entire fw!

And not the kernel alone!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] anandbobby:
Thank You!

Thanx a lot man! With this guide I've rooted my Neo L and installed a CWM Recovery and performed a nandroid backup for safety. Now next step in my learning curve is to unlock my bootloader. All my trials with the SE Bootloader tool has failed. Now time to try the manual method. Keep up the good work mate!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] spike.trickster:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
If you flashed whole firmware,then answer is yes!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] adoy41:
kind of confusing bcause my superuser is still there, so the method to root still the same?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Method to root is still the same!

Firstly check if you're rooted properly with root checker or other app you know of

Unlock bootloader or root first?

Hai, just got my Neo L still untouch and i want to change everything means that change rom and kernel.. so can you advice on what to do first..root or unlock bootloader? I have an Arc S and i just need to do the unlock bootloader and flash other custom rom and kernel...is it the same with Neo L? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
yea..its the same thing as Arc S..unlock nd custom kernel..custom rom..

just curious..why did u get a NeoL when you have an ArcS?? :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] arulradz:
Thanks for the reply..:p Just bought that NeoL(just a second hand) for my father to use..before hand it over, need to change whatsoever so that it satisfy with daily use...:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
alrighty then..but keep in mind that not evrythin works in evry rom for NeoL...many people have wifi..cam issues..so do read the comments before flashin.. :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Better for daily use !

Do search for :

root and unlock bl

Use kernel provide by bootbu9 which known as Tigris

Update your gpu driver

some build.prop and init.d tweak

seeder v2 by leajian maybe

oc for optional purpose

Stay on stock while some custom still not working wifi camera bluetooth etc...........
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] arulradz:
ah yes, thank you.. I'm somehow read those reviews before flashing to avoid any unnecessary brick to my phone..:fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

ah..but i more prefer those custom rom made ready.. but of course i will choose the one that really doesn't have buggy so much..:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redfoxdj:
Bro, i cannot continue with the flashing of 562 kernel for neo L. Attached is my screenshot for the error message of my flash tool.

By the way, I do not know if I got the exact timing in turning off the device, holding the back button etc..

Do I need to wait for my fon to completely turn off before I hold the back button? Or do I need to start holding the backing button when my fon says, "shutting down"??

Please help me, I got that error message when I plug back my device.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Re: {Neo L, Neo, Neo V} THE "DESSERT" JOURNEY {Flashing//Rooting//CWM - Noob Guide}

R u sure u installed the drivers correctly...just reinstall them..nd try again..

Nd theres no need to exactly time it...

Just unplug...power off completely..then hold the back button...insert usb while holding that button... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redfoxdj:
I attached the screenshot of the drivers that I installed. Kindly check f I have chosen the right ones. :)

As of now, I will try to install again the drivers. By the way, do I need to restart my computer after installing the drivers?

I will try to install now the fastboot drivers. But I cant find any ADB drivers on the list. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:

I meant flashmode drivers! It should be there in the list
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redfoxdj:
Yeah! Flashmode drivers is really in there. :)

I have another question, will all the downloaded apps and files be removed after I have successfully rooted my phone? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Re: {Neo L, Neo, Neo V} THE "DESSERT" JOURNEY {Flashing//Rooting//CWM - Noob Guide}

Nah,rooting doesn't do anything to your data! They'll be just fine ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] redfoxdj:
Bro, I got another error.

Please see my attachment. :(

Edit:

At last, my Phone is already rooted. :) Thanks for all the help.

Nxt thing is to figure out what to do next on my rooted-stock rom, locked bootloaders phone.

Any suggestions mates?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
good to see to managed it..

suggestions??well ur rooted nd ur on XDA..flash em custom roms dude ;)..since ur bootloader's locked..only stock based roms can be flashed.. :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunit:
Absolute beginner here:o

Steps are clear, but I do have a slight confusion.

My phone(Xperia Neo V) is running .587, so I'll start with step2

After flashing .562, completing till VII, you instructed to disconnect and reboot the phone

Then, while starting the root process, i.e between IX and X, you didn't mentioned whether to connect the phone. Do I have to connect again in flashmode or normal USB mode used to perform any file transfer.

Also I believe that step3 is not mandatory, if I'm not going to use any custom ROMs. Correct me please if I'm wrong.

Thanks a lot for simple tutorials. I'm gaining confidence to root my phone.:silly:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
After step VII...switch on your phone..run rootkit and connect your phone normally in msc mode..(not flashmode)

reason i dint mention is when you run rootkit..it'll tell you how and when to connect.. :good:

and yea step3 is not mandatory..but when ur rooted u'll wanna try those yummy custom roms..nd we need CWM for that.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] varunit:
Thank you so much for the effort. I've followed step by step and rooted my Neo V:laugh:

But I didn't do step 3. I'll do it later when I would like to try out custom roms.

Anyways Thanks a lot :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kilobyte1023:

As a newbie I've followed step by step to rooting and installing CWM on my Neo L and succes. Yes, its Noob Guide.:good:

do you guys have any idea why is that and what must i do?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Coz if u manage to bend the spoon...you know you're in the matrix

just try again...dont miss anything mentioned in the guide..check wipe data..apps log etc and no final verification...and also use the latest flashtool :good:

trying everything again and again

ohh dude this is like a paradox i'm trying everything allover again and again

i have the latest flashtool version and also i have latest android version for my device so i'm skipping step one

Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Are you connecting your device in flashmode first and then selecting firmware??

Try selecting firmware first and then connect in flashmode when it asks you to..if problem persists try on a Win7 pc..

@Lennox..i'll try to upload to dropbox by tmorw..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dolagar:
land down under

both ways i tried and same result reamined

Re: {Neo L, Neo, Neo V} THE "DESSERT" JOURNEY {Flashing//Rooting//CWM - Noob Guide}

[ solved]

Thanks buddy , I got the file so no need to upload.

But I have got a situation now..

I rooted, installed cwm properly. But after installing optimax Rom I m unable to boot my phone, I followed all the steps properly.

It even seems usb debugging is disabled as adb doesn't detect the phone when on Sony logo. The gets stuck on Sony logo and I'm unable to boot into recovery. Boot loader is Locked. What to do please help!

Thanks in advance! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
Re: {Neo L, Neo, Neo V} THE "DESSERT" JOURNEY {Flashing//Rooting//CWM - Noob Guide}

You cant enter CWM...read the 4th FAQ..in Step3

You need to start over from the beginning..ie from Step1..nd your phone will boot normally again :good: ...this is the main disadvantage of a locked bootloader...CWM gets wiped when you flash a custom rom..

Note...please dont post the same question in several threads..be patient nd we will reply.. :)
