Hi.
I had locked bootloader and CWM installed.
Made backup, installed Team Xperia/SE.TWEAKED| V1.0 and phone stuck on Sony Ericsson logo.
I recover it with SE Companion, now I have firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I can not root it with DooMLoRD's Easy rooting toolkit, so no progress with CWM, nothing.
What can I do to have root, CWM?
Never had problems with flashing my Sensation, NEO V is giving me headache.
Mike
please post only development in this section.

Hi , I want to ask some question about flashing custom roms like cyanogen mod on xperia phones
Currently i have Xperia ray with unrooted gingerbread 2.3.4 , 4.0.A.2.0.42 firmware
I want to flash cyanogenmod 7 and my questions are --->
[1.] How can i unlock boot loaders without messing up DRM ? bcoz i heard after unlocking boo loaders update service and some apps wont work.
[2.] How to re lock boot loader in order to get warranty back ?
[3.] Will i need to root my phone in order to install CM7 because , in cyanogenmod wiki they not mentioned root, but i think i need to root my phone
If yes then can i use "Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit" to root my phone running on gingerbread 2.3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
[4.] how to install full functional clockworkmod recovery on xperia ray ?
[5.] While installing cyanogen mod after flashing boot.img , will i able to make backup of my stock rom ?
and how to restore it even i bricked my phone ?
or is it possible to flash ftf firmwares anytime using flashtools, or wotan . is there any official firmware tool for sony phones ?
and how to get official firmware in FTF file format
[6.] When i successfully installed cyanogenmod , will i get all option to install another custom ROM over cyanogenmod (i.e. CWM recovery and rom manager)
No developer replied my questions , after hours of research i found answers
[1]. http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
[2]. re-locking bootloader is not possible this time for xperia ray , sony will solve bootloaders issue very soon , then we will not need to worry about this, although we will lose warranty
[3].no need to root your phone , it is like installing ubuntu on windows without knowing passwords
[4]. fxp made CWM for ray but this time it only works with cm7 and MIUI, there are some experimental kernels with cwm are available but i dont recommend them
[5]. of course you can make complete backup of stock rom
to restore follow this = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382088
you can also revert to stock using flashtool , follow this = http://androidflip.com/how-to-install-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-update-on-xperia-ray-st18i/
[6]. definitely you can flash any custom / stock rom over cyanogenmod
maybe u can try my tutorial, but that's language indonesian, u use google translate dude, hehehehehe....
Hi i have a brand new xperia pro with .58 firmware
i have:
- rooted phone
- CWR to install some patches
i am happy with phone as it is but i want for example call recording.
my question is:
- what is the best kernel ?
- what is the best firmware ?
previously i had a x10 mini and used NaA CM wich was great.
what kerner and firmware do you advise me to use and what the advantages over stock?
regards
The first thing you probably need to do is unlock your bootloader. I used the paperclip method to unlock mine.
Then you should flash the stock 0.62 firmware.
Then you should flash a custom kernel. bbooff's and KRsH both work well.
Then you should flash a custom ROM. HYBROM by bbooff is awesome.
Before you do any of the things I suggested make sure you read the forums first. It does not take a genius to flask the SK17i, but there are always times when it could go wrong.
As long as you don't mess up the bootloader thing then you can always flash a new ROM so you don't have to worry.
Oh. And make sure you read the thread titles correctly. I have been reading a thread a few times on here when I thought it was for [MiniPro] but I was actually reading a [Mini] thread by mistake.
Good luck!
for Xperia mini Pro HYBROM is great i think. and for Kernels there are 3 Kernels by now. KRsH, Rage and X Kernel. all are in Development forum.
i', using KRsH v3 and it's cool.
you should test each one, it's kind of individual.
Wrong section by the way
One extra tip I will give is when you install the Flashtool drivers there are no drivers for Xperia MiniPro, it says X10 MiniPro or somwthing like that. Just ignore and choose the generic fastboot drivers.
You can download Flashtool from the first sticky thread in this forum but just use generic Fastboot drivers. It took me ages to figure it out but it works for 2011 Xperia models.
HI. what is the CLIP method to unlock xperia mini? will i loose warranty with this method?
Sadly any method of unlocking the phone will potentially invalidate the warrenty.
The advantages of the paperclip method are that it should work with any version of the phone, including ones that can't be unlocked with the official Sony tool and that it shouldn't mess up the DRM used by things like TrackID (which the Sony unlocker breaks)
unfornettly the pictures on current guides are not very easy to understand.
anyone have video of unlocking the pro ?
I've unlocked my Neo V and then install/restore using KA ICS ROM through CWM Recovery. After Installation, when i powered up my phone it stocks at SONY opening screen then nothing happened. Can I fix it back to its last state? Even if i restarted the phone to access CWM Recovery but still stuck on SONY Opening screen.
Kindly post also The Firmware/ROM HK Version of ICS Xperia Neo V which is my stock FW
Please help. Thanks!
What about recovering it through the PC Companion, and applying this patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21568024&postcount=3
did you tried with another kernel?? some rom's are builded for an specific kernel,
see if in the .zip file you can find the boot.img
Flash the stock ics fw file via flashtool,you can find the link for stock ics fw in neo v dev section.For how to use flashtool guide link check my sig
Use flashtool and flash ICS firmware. I also got stuck at "The Alliance" logo.
Thanks for the help! I've already recover my Neo V!
Hi, everybody.. for about a week ago, i rooted my XPERIA arc S (4.0.3) and it went flawlessly when i used the doom's rooting toolkit...So now i have made a factory reset on my phone to update to officiall android 4.0.4-.... So MY question is the following: Will [ROOT] Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]{LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS} work for 4.0.4 also?
Thanks :=)
Think it would still be rooted do you have the SU icon... just tr giving root permission for app..
Well since i have made a factory reset.. the root is no longer there.. and i also made the reset just so i could update to 4.0.4 to then later on root my New 4.0.4...
i have the d6503 with android 4.4.4 build no. 23.0.1.a.0.167 , there are many tutorials but i fear from bricking my device....what is the easiest most noob friendly way to root the z2 (link please?) and can it be done without downgrading ?
Yes. It can. You have to install some recovery (like cwm) and then just flash a supersu package. Installing recovery is being best done, when your bootloader is unlocked, as doomkernel has already custom recovery installed.
If you want to unlock your bootloader follow official Sony instructions.
You will also need some flashtool to flash your first custom kernel.
