Hello
I've installed the [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.9 following this steps
i've previously installed a CWM
restart in recovery
wiped data/reset factory
wiped battery
wiped all ...
install Rom
install gapp
and now my phone doesn't goes to recovery and all i get is a black screen whit "Sony Ericsson" legend
please some help.
i post here, because i haven't permissions to post in the developer forum asking for help in the thread
sorry about my bad english
Did you unlock your bootloader using Flashtool?
You also need the latest version of nAa kernel installed.
Thanks for the answer
I didn't unlock my bootloader using Flashtool i haven't do that before and didn't read the installing instructions for doing that my fault
and didn't installed nAa kernel, because i think didn't need to install the kernel obligatorily
is anything i can do to solve this problem ??
You do need the nAa kernel to run MiniCM7, it just won't work without it. Next time you think about installing a rom, make sure you read all the instructions first. Especially if you're using custom kernels as that's a good way to give your phone a real hard brick.
What you've got is a soft brick. The phone still works, it just doesn't work as a phone. A hard brick is when your phone doesn't do anything at all. Which is bad.
All you need to do is download and use Sony Ericsson Update Service. This updates your phone to the latest, official firmware. If it complains that you already have it, choose the option to reinstall it anyway.
This will wipe all the data on your phone, but not your sdcard, so you'll lose your contacts, sms's, etc but you backed up anyway, didn't you?
thanks Ticklefish for the answer
i did that and now i've my phone back =D
Mine wont do that :-/
When i follow your steps Ticklefish i cant connect to the phone. it pops up with a message that tells me to pull down the status line which i cant because i only gets to the Sony Ericsson boot logo.
Got any tips for me?
thanks in advance

I think i was using the same as in this thread, that might e why it failed, but i'll just start rooting my phone now, and then wait and see
i'll just search around x10 forum to check out some tutorials, but thanks anyway
Hello guys, i had finally made up my mind to root my xperia neo V, i learnt that i have to "Downgrade to 0.42" version and then root my phone, so i downloaded .42 firmware and latest version of Flashtool i.e 0.9.1.0 , i did all steps correclty, checked all checkboxes correctly, at 13% that flashing is simply stuck, no messages nothing,
so i tried with another version of Flashtool, i,e 0.6.8.0, but that also went in Vain, same stuck at 13%, this is the log,
it gets stuck at system.sin,
i tried checking, 'Exclude System' and then flashed, then it gets flashed upto 100%, but while booting phone is stuck @ 'Sony Logo',
another thing i want to tell is, "Already when i bought this phone it had .62 version installed in it, no .42" , it this the reason for not successful flashing?
my phone is completely dead guys, please help me ASAP, pleading you all, please. i have also posted in talksonymobile.com, please somebody help me, please guys

did you tried other ' USB ' port ?
is the USB-Cable original or NoName ! ?
any AntiVirus active ? < -- switch off !
you don't have to flash ' 42 ', you can flash any current ROM !
what about the BooLoader ?
good luck !
greetings

First of all just make sure that you have installed the drivers for your device.. If not then go to C:Flashtool/drivers
Then, as you said you checked all checkboxes.. You don't need to do that!
Just check on the following, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe apps log..
Trust me I have flashed firmware like 100 times using this method and it has worked correctly!
Do as I said!
All the best!

is only happening with .42 ?
maybe the file is corrupted
did u download it by download accelerators ?
if it was .zip or .rar try repair option in winrar
u dont need to downgrade to .42 to root it you cant root .62 it by flashing attachment via cwm
download .62 and flash that and root it with the attachment

Try downloading the files again, it may be corrupted a download. You may try using a different computer. You can also try flashing an ICS image.
If you still have locked bootloader you can use SUS or PC Companion to try repairing your phone.
There is another option called WotanServer but it is not free, it will cost you about 2 EUR.
PCCompanion (Or SEUS) will always fix your phone as long as you have not unlocked bootloader.
It will restore your phone to the latest "Out of the box" official firmware.
Google and download and follow the instructions.
If it says your phone already has the latest software click on "repair phone".
Remember, if you have NOT unlocked the bootloader yet you CANNOT break the phone permantly....PCCompanion will always restore it.
hey guys, its working, some how, didnt try anything new, just kept on trying all combinations, some how it worked, all thanks to you ppl, hey, if i update my OS via PC COmpanion will it get UNROOTED? first of all how to find out whether my phone is rooted or not? and if i want a rooted ICS wat shud i do? please tel me, ALL HAIL XDA, bravo to all!! love u

OK, Download flashtool and use that to root and install a recovery. You can also unlock the bootloader (If you want).
Then you will be able to install any ROM you want.
As for usb otg, read it up in the theme and app section.

Once i did a wrong fashing and the phone would boot.

Seus wouldn't recognize my mobile and wouldn't let me repair it.
no final verification box missing
hello guys,
Am sorry to be off topic, but I need answer to this question. I was about to use flashtool 6.9. when I discovered that the boxes for 'no final verification' and 'exclude T.A' are missing. what can I do? thanks.
Hey everyone,
I have an Xperia U that originally came with GB. I flashed it to ICS a while ago using the official ICS rom that was posted on XDA, and then successfully rooted the device. Earlier today I downloaded an app to change some system fonts. The app asked me to reboot to apply the changes, and since then, my phone has been in a boot loop. It gets to the "XPERIA" screen that the screen flashes and it restarts.
How can I fix my phone? I don't care about the data or anything, I just want to get the phone up and running!
USB Debugging was OFF before this problem happened
Please help me! I'd appreciate it so much. You guys have helped me accomplish a lot with my phone, maybe you guys can help me save it.
EDIT: I've done some searching but I can't seem to find a guide on what to do, similar to the guides I followed for flashing to ICS and then rooting. Please somebody help me!

If you don't care of your data, apps or anything, simply reflash it via flashtool
You can also use SUS
Repair using sus
If it doesnt work flash official ics ftf via flashtool
