I did a factory reset but I still have "Bootloader unlock allowed: no" I dont kwow if it show that the bootloader is unlocked or not but if not is using s1tool identify like mentionned in the guide a reliable way to know if a bootloader is unlocked or not.

And thanks for the quick reply :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Bro you didn't understand.. When you unlock your bootloader and when you switch on your phone, it should be like a brand new one.. It should get factory reset by itself.. You need not do a reset yourself.. It should automatically get.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aminit:
Ohh ok, I didnt get factory reset so I gess its not unlocked :(, I guess I will just deal with it that way and thanks for your help :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Np man.. As it is said bootloader unlock status no, you cannot unlock it afaik.. Still search on google.. Don't do anything without being sure.. As I have seen similar cases as yours and they have hard bricked.. So be aware about things you do..:thumbup:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aminit:
Yeah I know I made my search before doing anything so dont worry :D, I flashed a lot of different phone and bricked my first one so I more or less know what I am doing.

Madfysh say that bootloader is unlocked but fastboot is still locked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
In unofficial unlock you will still see Bootloader unlock allowed No and u can test by flashing a cuatom kernel ...:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aminit:
Every custom kernel need fastboot so I guess having an unlocked bootloader doesnt make a difference with locked fastboot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Yep.Madfysh is right on the money there and so are you..You'd need unlocked fastboot for flashing a custom kernel.Bootoader unlock alone won't do the trick..

just flashed OSBs for SJB v4.o... Just want to know how can I remove them without having to format the system!!:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
From Rom zip copy framework-res.apk and go to system/framework... Paste there with rw-r-r permissions...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Flash framework of sjb 4. Copy meta-inf folder from any zip and make a folder system and inside system folder make a folder named framework and in framework folder place framework-res.apk from sjb4 zip Nd zip this folder and flash via cwm! Reboot to system! Boom! Osb disappeared:p

May be on jb roms! On ics these files are needed! On jb check ewmwos thread of z lockscreen u can download the zip and check the files inside! U could replace those files with one from cm10 to gt original cm10 lockscreen

very weak network signal

Friends, recently i got xperia neo v and after using it for sometime i am facing a strange problem. I am getting very low network signals. I have tried the same sim card in another cell phone also so there is no problem with either sim card or signals. Network signals keeps fluctuating only in my neo v. I have tried chaning almost every basebands, kernels and roms. Still i am facing the same issue. I am confused whether its a software fault or hardware? Till it was unrooted and bootloader was locked i was facing no problem. After 2-3 weeks of rooting and unlocking bootloader i started facing this issue. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Listen up folk, you may try, I repeat I tell you to try not guaranteed, relock boatloader ( there are many threads provided just choose the one for Xperia 2011) and repair with SUS.

If the problem still Persist , it may be either hardware fault or misconfig setting.

installing v4.5 jelly dream on xperia neo with locked bootloader

hey guys, maybe you can help me... I have a neo with locked bootloader, rooted, with cwm installed, firmware 4.1.b.0.587, and I wanted to install the rom jelly dream v4.5. Before this rom I had jj's hybrid 3.2, but in the process of changing it I probably made something wrong, cause I had to use SUS to recover the phone.

(link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2131092)

First of all i enabled init.d (even if probably i should have done it only after flashing the rom)... then i did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format cache, format system, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats from the clockworkmod recovery.

After this, I installed the first part ("JellyDream_4.5_Part_I.zip") from the recovery: at this point aroma installer started and I chose all the features, i finished the installation and rebooted the device. All seemed ok, there was the "welcome" screen where you choose the language, but then (when you can search and connect to wifi) the background was dark blue and the launcher screen was completely black except for the status bar. From the app update notification i could run google play and also install xparts from the market and tried to install the recovery (the recovery has to be installed again after every new rom flashed). I chose "reboot to recovery" from xParts, rebooted the device (to do a nandroid restore) but there was no recovery and the phone remained stuck with android logo. Now i have to repair it back...

I tried to be as clear as possible, i looked if someone else had the same problem but i couldn't find anything, I don't know what i did wrong SO... can you give me some advice? do i have to install a previous version of the rom before installing the 4.5v? Does it support blocked bootloader neo? and more important... am i writing in the right section? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MiraiXu:
Yes for Jelly Dream 4.5 you need to install Jelly Dream 4.0 first ...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] keymaker13:
ok... and after having flashed jelly dream 4.0 do I have to do only wipe data/factory reset or also the other wipes?

p.s. do i have to enable init.d after having flashed jelly dream 4.5? or after 4.0? thanks

edit:

I tried to install jelly dream v4.0, i have done wipe data/factory reset, format system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache but when i have rebooted after aroma installer there's bootloop... :-/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
You should install 4.0 but after that don't do System format or all that you've done till now will be in vein.

Just do data and cache wipe and install 4.5 on top of it.

Good luck ;)

first step done... at the second one it get stuck at sony logo

i also tried, without rebooting, o install the second part but always stuck at sony logo...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MiraiXu:
Try reinstall like this :

1) While your phone off, boot to recovery.

2) Do a full wipe (factory reset, cache, system, dalvik)

3) Install Jelly Dream 4.0

4) Wipe data, cache, dalvik

5) Install Jelly Dream 4.5 part 1

6) Reboot

7) After a full boot, COMPLETE the setup wizard first. After that, reboot to recovery

8) While in recovery, install the part 2

9) WIPE CACHE & DALVIK (Factory reset not needed)

10) Reboot and voila~

Try if it works~

ps :/ If and ONLY if it does not work, try reboot your device first after installed Jelly Dream 4.0 and complete the setup first, after that reboot to recovery, skip step 4 and continue the steps:)
