Well i got a Neo V
-Rooted
-CWM
Now what i want is a custom Rom
The thing is all these ROMS require unlocked bootloader
So if i do unlock my BL then in the future will i get to upgrade my Neo V to ICS ??
I do NOT want to miss out on ICS one bit
Thanks for all your replies
I m new to this.
But hav studued well.
1st, unlock ur bootloader using testpoint method, this will mentain ur track id and drm.
I think this will also give chance to update ur officialy.
.
2nd, even if u unlock ur bootloader with official steps, u can use flash tool for flash ics ftf file, means u will get ics on ur phone.
But m not sure.

Is this only reason why nobody wants unlock their boot loaders?
Seriously?
TrackID = soundhound. Shazam?
Drm = does anyone using it anyway??

leave everyone to make their choise.

The new TrackID works on bl unlocked phones aswell. See my post in the themes and apps section.

I don't mind losing TrackID and DRM's
But using flashtool i'll definitely get ICS yes/no ??
yes.
and if possible relock BL and you will get OTA
Unlocked My Bootloader today
Now, Custom Kernels
Options:
InteksKernelV15
DoomLords Kernel
Which one's better ??
And i use these instructions right ??
Flashing Custom Kernel (boot.img):
this WILL NOT WIPE ur data
the custom kernel will be provided as boot.img file
just copy this file to fastboot folder
just power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE (LED notification turns BLUE) with usb-cable connected to PC
once u are in fastboot mode open command prompt and navigate to the folder containing fastboot files then just use the following command to flash custom kernel:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
once flashing is complete you will get a prompt on pc saying that everything is ok
now just unplug ur device and u are on the custom kernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Any of the above kernels allow Overclocking ??
http://sourceforge.net/projects/seandroid/files/xperianeov/Kernel/InteksKernelV15.zip/download
Inteks is better IMO: it has built in recovery, so you don't have to flash recoveryNeo.img everytime. And it has good battery life.
Flashing Custom Kernel (boot.img):
this WILL NOT WIPE ur data
the custom kernel will be provided as boot.img file
just copy this file to fastboot folder
just power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE (LED notification turns BLUE) with usb-cable connected to PC

How do i do that ???
What i do is drag the fastboot.exe file in CMD and then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Boot.img is in same folder as fastboot

Greetings.
run attached tool, press "restore"

edit:
updated s1 tool with flashing capability.
will flash standard decrypted semc *.sin_file_set, "flashtool" *.ftf file set
understand scripts inside packages ( *.ta extension )
benefits over flashtool : small, fast, no need any "jaba"
You genius! I am sure a lot of people will be looking for this!

Are you still on a kernel meant for unlocked bootloaders

stock kernel for unlocked bootloader from DoomLord.
EDIT :
When I try to use this tool to restore bootloader, I'm unable to boot on my phone.
Then I try to reflash stock firmware again with Flashtool. Now, it able to boot on.
Maybe this tool cannot be used on Stock Kernel provided by DoomLord.
Flash the kernel from SE 2.3 FW. You will be able to get back to regular "Sony Ericsson" boot.

My thoughts exactly if your bootloader is relocked you shouldn't have any kernel besides se stock one

Is there any method which tell you exactly about bootloader either it's locked or unlocked? I am asking this question because I run @9Lucas5 method and than I restored Thejap Rom. After the restore, I got Xperia bootanimation (first) SE animation and finally Thejap boot animation. Yesterday, I install Thejap new version and now SE bootanimation is disappeared and I have Xperia and Thjap BA. Phone with excellent deep sleep (85%) and great battery life. (which is reported by many unlocked BL user very bad) Now if I want to go back by this method what will happended when I don't know my phone's BL is LOCKED or UNLOCKED.
VERY SIMPLE WAY TO FIND IF U HAVE LOCKED/UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
DOWNLOAD THE S1TOOL pc application from 1st post
do the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
click on Identify
Connect device in FLASH MODE
check output
check the marked strings
if the strings begin with "r" (lower case) then bootloader is UNLOCKED
if the strings begin with "R" (upper case) then bootloader is LOCKED
Curious... Are you the same the_laser that makes SEtool and LGtool? If so, you are certainly awesome
Edit.
Wow, my sig is waaaaaaaay out of date!
Also would the same rule apply when identifying in setool? r for unlocked, R for locked? Got an x10 that identifies loader as DEAD, just wondering if there's any hope for it or is that the funniest most accurate piece of code ever?

Fastboot drivers installed?
Where do get drivers?
Solution. Download flastool, install it, navigate C:/ Flashtool/ Drivers and install drivers.
And after that make restart your pc.
Edit: you can flash kernel with flashtool also, and its "must be tool for android fans"

You can try using FlashTool, it is easier to load new kernels than CLI.
Just open FlashTool, connect your phone in fastboot mode, then click on the flash/lighting icon, select fastboot mode, then select kernel to flash and navigate to the folder where you have the kernel image.

it's so easy,
Download your Custom kernel, put it into the firmware directory of flash tool,
*your phone must be in debugging mode.
run flash tool, Select fastboot mode, and click on flash, select your kernel. and click OK !
follow the on screen instruction.

Hm, I think that after
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
command you'll get only a hotboot or what is the name. Kernel wont be actually flashed for good. I always use this one:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Before you flash your brand new kernel ,you can check if your device is properly connected by typing:
Code:
fastboot devices
it should print out some info about device, sth like that:
Code:
FBXXXXXXXX
where XXXXXXXXX is some numbers. If this output is shown, you can flash your kernel
Maybe this is the easiest:
Assumed unlocked bootloader:
1: Download Flashtool and the kernel you want (for example the alliance kernel).
2: In settings on your phone: enable debugging and install from other sources. Then turn off your phone.
3. Connect the usb cable to your PC. Hold down the menu button (the one on the right) while you connect the switched off phone to the usb cable. Led should turn blue.
4: Open up flashtool.exe. Press the flash symbol located in the top left corner. Choose 'fastboot mode'>press 'select kernel to flash'(on the right side). Check if the log say okey.
5: Unplug. Turn on, and (if you chose the alliance kernel) tap volume down repeatedly to get to recovery mode, where you can install roms (zip files) from your sd card.
For Unlocked Bootloader
OK, its simple and almost anyone can do it. Just follow the steps and you will get a working root access
1. Flash the JellyBean build
2. Download and put this flashable zip (Superuser) in the root of the SD Card Download here
3. Flash any ICS kernel, I recommend ThP because there is a Power Off option and its easier Link Here (And yeah, if you are asking yourself if the ICS kernel will work on JB, it wont. The phone will stuck at bootloop.) or Nemesis Kernel
4. Flash the zip and power off the device from recovery
5. Flash the JellyBean kernel. It can be found here LINK
6. Power on the device and Enjoy !
I am working on TWRP for the new JellyBean kernel, stay tuned !
Method 2
Flash ThP Kernel HERE. It has autoroot function

For Locked Bootloader
There are some regions where OTA update is available. Some of you might try the following:
- root any ICS ROM
- install ОТА Root Keeper
- update via OTA
NOTE:
If you have country problems in which the update isn't available yet, try changing the SI codes. The method can be found here.

Actually the tool is able to flash a full fastboot factory image, so it will also flash the stock recovery, the problem is the arb, the tool is unable to read the arb version and if the rom can be flashed or not, so before flash it you should be sure you are flashing the right rom
For example would it work to flash Global 10.2.2 also to restore the stock recovery, or any considering that now I am rooted + twrp on custom rom? Been also on latest MIUI versions bit want to regain my stock again.

Yes the problem is not the rom but the arb, if there is not an arb problem you can flash the rom without problems
How can I find it out?
