I made a huge mistake i made factory reset to my NEO and now i have nothing on the phone and i mean nothing at all any help i rooted it but and i had no service and i made factory reset by mistake and i have nothing nothing nothing
You have no choice but to re install EVERYTHING ~ User Apps and stuff
You can restore tho, only if you have a backup
help please
I have nothing on the phone no home screens no menu no icons i have nothing i can operate on and the computer doesn't detect the phone to re-install things again or anything nothing at all i need help i any sort of manner please
i rooted my phone than i did factory reset it is supposed to show setup and nothing is showing nothing at all just plain backgroung with nothing on it
That's strange :O
What i say you should do is use Wotan server
Using that it'll flash a new firmware
How did you root ?? Via The ZerghRush CMD thingy ??
Try to connect in flashmode (hold back button while powering on) green LED should burn.
Do U have unlocked bootloader?if yes U must flash custom kernel like doom or inteks he have cwm.Next flash any rom like cyanogen or tweaked v07 .IF UHave locked bootloader flash new rom with Wotanserwer or flashtool
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
to make it flash mode should i plug it to the computer first ?? i am sorry if that is a silly question but i am really a newbie
How do I know if i have Unlocked or locked Bootloader
Yes i rooted it with ZerghRush Toolkit od DoomsLord
Click and hold menu button n' then plug usb to pc when led light is blue then U make unlocked bootloader on U'r phone.When is green ... sorry U cannot unlock bootloader
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium

You also can use WotanClient, it's more easier.

Hi all,
My XPERIA U cannot get into fastboot mode even though I plugged the USB cable with holding down Volume Up Button.
I also tried it with holding down Volume Down Button.
I cannot have the bootloader unlocked.
My XPERIA U says its bootloader is allowed to be unlocked, and it is SIM free.
Please give me an advise to me!!
Thanks!

Same problem here
Anyway I try downloading flashtool and in the driver folder ( inside flashtool folder) there is an installer try install it when there are check box check them all and install
After that fastboot mode should be working
This is the easiest way to install fastboot driver, I think
It works for me

Just get the flashtool from here:
http://androxyde.github.com/
Install it (make sure you disable your antivirus while downloading).
Open C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the drivers.
Its the easiest way as Theonlyzii mentioned.
Theres workaround in general forum.
You must FAST!
Open device manager first
When you plugged in ur device with fast boot mode there should be a new driver detected on device manager,. Right click and update driver( you must fast before its disappear). After you succesfully install the driver now you can reconnect ur device in fastboot mode.
Hope this help. You might want to search that workaround im talking about for clearer instruction.

Nah mate...
I had failed. Windows just couldn't find the right drivers from doomlord's thread
Anyway, flashtool is the easiest, and pain free method.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Thanks all!!
Finally I could succeed unlocking the bootloader with the way of installing the driver from flashtool that you advised me!
I was not able to this method on my Windows8 RP PC, and I did not find the reason why I cannot. And I succeeded this on another Windows 7 PC! Thanks to you, I could notice that.
And for you, ankh.red,
I was trying it many times because my Xperia U turn off the blue LED soon(around 3 seconds). But it was always failing detecting any driver after I catch my Xperia U on the Device Manager. Of cource I had a driver from Sony's official page.
I think windows8 will need some change to do this. I have found on web someone who succeeded it on Windows8...
Anyway, I was helped by you! Thank you!! I will search next interesting things on the rooted from now!
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yeah I have the same problem before... Blue LED 3 sec,
I have to install the fastboot driver ( not the Sony one but the one in fastboot USB folder) before it disappear on devices manager..
Anyway, I glad you're able to unlock your bootloader now .
Happy rooting lol

Dont wanna start another thread so im just going ask here:
1. Why the speaker is so quite or is it just me?!
2. How can i root without unlocking bootloader since i dont wanna loose drm files( did they even important?! )
3. If there be some forum just for xperia U/P or we need to post in this ection....
P.S. previousely iv had xperia x8 so im new with this xperia, and sorry if this questions are already answered....
1. Enable xLoud in Settings>Sound
2. Not yet possible. I believe DRM is some protection given to music files bought legally. I think you might not be able to play such files (correct me if I'm wrong)
3. Not yet. Many have requested mods. No seperate sections

It will be old version but works
Go to filestube.com than search flashtool and in left pan from options of files sharing site select mediafire here you go http://www.mediafire.com/?5htqv01u4vci91q

thank you sir. perhaps someone can upload the latest one to a more useful temporary upload site, like yousendit perhaps? i am trying that older version though... i just need it for the drivers due to the fastboot won't activate the driver search and the XperiaU just continues to charge instead of remaining in fastboot.

Yes you can use on stock ics and drivers can be installed without phone connection

For Windows 8 users. The drivers cannot be installed because of the driver signature enforcement.
This is how to disable it.
First, press win + I to launch the charm bar, and click Change PC Settings at the bottom.
Then, go to General, and scroll to the bottom of the page, click Restart Now button under Advanced Startup section.
The computer reboots to a startup menu, in which click Troubleshoot.
And click Advanced Options at next screen.
Choose Startup Settings next And click Restart button.
The computer reboots and prompts another menu to choose. One of the items is to Disable driver signature enforcement. Press number 7 or F7 to continue booting to Windows 8 with digital sign enforcement disabled.
Hope that helps
Hi, I need help to flash cm9 on a xperia neo.
My friend ask me to flash cm9 in his phone, but I never had a sony ericsson phone, so not what 'i know is helping.
He have a xperia neo build 4.0.2.A.0.42 and the bootloader is locked and don't allow the conventional unlocking method.
I searched everywhere but i couldn't find any way to solve this problem.
Thanks...
If the phone does not allows normal bootloader unlock you should do it via s1tool and testpoint method, but this is done at your own risk, this can brick the phone

Yeah, I read about that and I was trying to avoid it since it's not my phone... My friend will have to be happy with a rooted phone only.
But a thing I found strange about the root is that when I uninstall an app with titanium backup it returns after reboot, is there some kind of block in sony ericsson phones?

Never happened to me, titanium backup should ask to unnistal the app and then to remove the system and that should be it.

First make sure that you have all the fastboot drivers installed in your pc!
Switch off your device and while pressing the menu key connect the usb cable to it! You'll notice the led turns blue!
To make sure that your device is connected properly.. Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.

Hi,
I have a xperia mini pro (sk17i) and i was trying to root it. It had Android 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587) on it.
I was following this guide: (http : // talk.sonymobile . com/thread/41119 ) -> remove spaces
since the xperia mini pro wasn't amongs the devices, i used the one they recommanded: the one for MT11i (xperia Neo)
i ran flashtool, and after completion, it said it was succesfully done,
but it kept rebooting.
So i tried to continue, but then they refer to a site from this website, and there it said me to flash to an other kernel.
I tried to do this, but when i want to flash, i need to hold down the volume down key when connecting through USB. The only problem is, this ain't working anymore. (I think it has something to do with the wrong kernel, cause the xperia Neo has the back-button to be pressed when connecting to flashtool).
I tried the sony ericsson pc companion, to restore my phone, but this asks me to hold down the volume key too. Whenever i do this, it doesn't rly do anything.
My phone just keeps restarting (the little led light in the top left corner is red when it is on, and so is the touchsensitive (white) back-button).
Is there anything i can do?
I tried to look up on this site and google, but always the solution is to reflash, but i can't since the volume down key trick does not work.
I have tried tons of things, but nothing seems to work. Especialy cause the device keeps restarting.
I rly would appreciate any help!
Since volume down key is not working so try to first unlocking bootloader(if possible luckily) and then flash the official 4.1.b.0.587 as it requires fastboot so it needs vol-up key not down...
Hope it works,
Best of luck
Press THANKS if I helped

thx in advance!

He said, that he tried to install another kernel. Unsigned kernels require bootloader to be unlocked, else they cannot be installed.

He didn't installed any unsigned kernel he just installed the neo kernel which doesn't require the bootloader to be unlocked. I rooted my phone the same way and my bl was locked then. And he mentioned that he tried to install other kernel but he couldn't flash it due to problem with vol-down key.....
so yesterday i was on Facebook with mu xperia st25 and it just crashed and after that I tried to switch it on and Sony logo appears then Xperia logo appears than screen flashes white for like a second and it starts to show the same ritual and it won't stop before I take the battery out. so please help me, I have almost lost hope, I don't know what to do next so please help me out and I have tried holding the power button and volume down/up and the same thing happens. And I will already say thank you

No we don't, he was just asking and provide the option for locked and unlocked bootloader.
It is still repairable! Don't worry. Just install the ROM.
I just wanted to say thank you all so much, I had almost lost hope but i got it fixed, I downloaded Sony pc companion and then did the repair thingy and at first my phone disconnected from the computer but on the third attempt it worked, so thank you again and also I did not lose any of my pictures or music, just contacts.
