It's really easy to do. If I'm not mistaken Hasoon has a video tutorial up to help you step by step on the development section. It's labeled 'Noob Proof'

So you make this thread and an hour later you PM me? :sigh:

We see you are new here, it is pretty much expected that you spend some time reading the stickies and threads that apply to what it is you are trying to do before making these kind of threads. Add to that this topic has been discussed a lot so there is a tone of info on it. Lastly it is absolutely in your best interest to understand what it is your doing and all that information has been discussed ad nauseum.

So? I figured I'd try and get some advice from you if it was possible. I read tons of comments between you and other people and you seemed like a nice guy. I wasn't aware it was a big deal

I've done alot of reading the only thing I'm still unsure about is why theirs no kernels in the all in one kit anymore. In the video he made there's 2 or 3 choices but when I downloaded it the kernel files empty. I don't know if its something about the new update, but I havnt been able to find anything about it.

You are missing the point. You made 2 threads withing 2 hours and you PM'd me. Instead, you could've made one thread and placed everything there and wait for a response. Patience is a virtue.
I am a nice guy as you saw in the forums. I do not do technical support via PM. I do help around the forum, just not in my PM.
Since you are new to the forum, I'm just explaining how it works around here so you don't get flamed or anything. Some developers do not like to do tech support via PM, some don't mind. However, majority of them don't. Take that into consideration next time.

Yeah I get where your coming from, I'm sure you get tons of pms about the same stuff over and over. So sorry about that. I don't mean to fill up the forum with post that have already been covered too. Your tool, from what I've read, seems like the safest easiest way to root the amaze. It's my first time ever doing this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don't mess anything up. Could you answer my question about no kernels being in your kit anymore? Do I just need to download one and put it in the file or what? And if so is there anything else That was taken out and needs to be downloaded that I might've missed?
Thanks.
I think I finally have all the steps down.
1) download winrar
2) download tool and extract data folder to my desktop or wherever
3) turn USB debugging on phone
4) download the rom I want and put it into the kernel section of the data folder.
5) plug in phone
6) follow steps 1-5
7) put unlock_code.bin in the data folder
8) flash recover (should I use the 4ext, TWRP 2.1.0, or find another one online?)
9) flash kernel/rom I picked
10) boot into recovery
11) boot into boot loader
12) relock boot loader (how do I get into fast boot to do this?)
Please let me know if I'm missing ANYTHING in those steps. If I'm not mistaken I should be finished after completing all these?
Thanks again for all the help guys! im just a noob that needs some help. Haha

All the steps are correct, except for 10-12. You do not need to relock the bootloader. It will only cause more problems.
ALSO, flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.

So what should I do after flashing the rom?
Also, dont most of the roms already have kernels in them so I won't have to flash both but just the rom?
Thanks a lot!

If you want to use a custom kernel, then you can. If not, just flash the Custom ROM and you will be fine.

Okay that's what I was wondering. So after finishing flashing the ROM I just unplug my phone and that's it?

Okay thanks I'm going to try it out soon. I'll let you know how it goes.
Oh I almost forgot my last question, which recovery would you suggest using? The 4ext, TWRP 2.1.0, or is there a better one I should download?

Hey I'm about to try it out now, do I need to uncheck fast boot? And should I recheck it after if I do
I made a video. Follow it.

awesome video! You just made me so much more confident about doing it lol. So the only difference im guessing is since you didn't flash a kernel I just flash that after the recovery and finish the process. You honestly have no clue how big of a help you've been!
The ones listed on XDA are dead. Can't find a reliable link on google.
Thanks.

You two stop fighting because you're wrong, just report the post as it doesn't belong here and don't make useless posts.
BTW.
Why do you want a SBF, it can damage your phone, use fruitcakes.

He wasn't rude, he was just trying to tell that you didn't give as much info as it was needed.
About your problem, download flashtool and download .ftf (I suggest Nordic region) and flash it. Everything can be found in dev sections, or in sticky thread in general section.

There is even tutorial on how to use flashtool.

Flash it with correct firmware, get the fw's from sticky thread in general section.
btw. edit thread title to reflect your problem, as current one is so generic that it can be used on 90% threads here

Why are you sending PM's, we have forum, there are smarter people here and will solve your problem faster if more of us discuss about it.
First you said that you have problems with keyboard, then you said you followed this instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/08/how-to-root-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-mt15i/
On those instructions I only see how to root your phone, which includes flashing MT11i kernel.
Now hear this. If you said all this info before, you would get your solution by now.
Flashing MT11i kernel on MT15i gives that error. And I would have told you that if you gave all the info you have. And no need to go around the web for instructions, everything you need is here, if you had checked this (sticky) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 you would noticed that flashing only kernel cause errors.
For start flash your phone with correct fw, to solve your initial question, then go on next exhibitions
And please use forum, it will be faster
nah sorry for all the issues and problems im done forget this thread please and delete my account im not doing this.time for a new phone.peace

No you need stock recovery.
Just to be clear
If I put in stock recovery then I can flash this in fastboot mode? DO I need to extract it. I'd really like to get the radio from the update--I'm S on and have a custom ROM. DO I need to go back to stock? Feel free to use snark when you respond, but a legit answer plus snark is perfectly karmicly acceptable given my question. THanks.

You are S-On it means you cannot flash radio in it's own.
What you need to do is go back to stock ROM and stock recovery and wait for ota or if you cannot wait force stock recovery to flash ota from phone.
Anybody have or know where I can find the standalone radio/firmware/hboot? Thanks.
I'm looking for just the firmware update as well. No one seems to have it yet.

Please post questions in the Q&A section.
You can download the stock firmware from samfirmware.com

You couldn't find one? Then you didn't to search very hard, as a 30 sec!ond search pulls up multiple sources for what you want. The stock recovery is of course contained in all of the full stock firmware images. So you could simply download a full firmware image from any number of places and use winrar to get the file that you need. Or a search would have also shown you that a member named toastido has already done so for you.

No it won't. As far as I know (and tried) it won't brick your phone, but you will have to flash the correct file over it otherwise you won't be able to boot into recovery. Feel free to prove me wrong.
