I have followed the 2.1 technique. And it was successful. I flashed global generic 2.1 fw. here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
And once you unlock bootloader flash a pre rooted 2.3 rom and with .71 baseband. After that you can flash doomlord kernel.
hey ,guys,,i am now on 2.1 now how should i root it,,,azuzu s method is for 2.3 roms...

hey dude,,,can u tell me the exact 2.1 rom u flashed from the list given in your link?
Hey sorry for keeping you waiting. just saw your posts. Dont spam or else you feel feel the heat of moderators. You need to root the phone first and also install xrecovery then you can unlock the bootloader.

I can just see X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch rom in my firmware folder. But any 2.1 generic would do. I wonder why you have issues. I had x10i and you are having x10a. So i hope you flashed x10a rom. Next thing have you enabled USB debugging. Sometimes the antivirus creates problems with adb. So try stopping ur antivirus or else use a different pc.
I hope you are using this tool for unlocking

dude,,i used the tool u said to use,,and it was completed successfully,,now how should i proceed further?(just to be on safer side)
OK Congrats. I dont know whether you have flashed a custom kernel after unlocking. (if u see sony ericsson at booting, it means u haven't, but that dosent mean you have a locked bootloader). Now restore/flash a pre rooted ginger bread rom via xrecovery. Then you can flash any Roms here. There are hell lot of updates coming here in android development section.

thanks to you dude,,,i unlocked the bootloader,,but after i flashed a pre rooted rom and then flashed vo4b overclocked doomkernel,,,,i got a problem,,,,it just pauses at the new boot logo and the phone doesnt reboot,,,wat should i do?
Did you flash the .71 baseband after you flashed Gingerbread firmware, otherwise you will get an error stating no sim and no imei no. Dont go for overclocking at this stage. Start from normal versions, let your phone be stable then you can go for overclocking.

naa,,i didnt do that,,,should i repair my phone using sony ericcson pc companion?
I have a mini pro sk17a, it came with .48 , i got it rooted, unlocked bootloader, installed custom kernel and ROM. All was fine, until I tried to update the phone to .58 using wotanserver. The upgrade wnet fine, but the phone does not boot any more, just sony errison logo and then triangle and yellow ! and powers off. tried .48 with wotanserver with the same results. Tried PC companion and I got a message back that no software is available for my phone yet. Is that a joke? tried flashing custom kernel back, same result. Desperately need help, I have a nice brick on my hands.

akshay13071990,
You are the MAN!!!
yes, re-locking bootloader worked with wotanserver, although pc companion said the same thing.. no software available yet.
Thank you very much!
help
hello akshay13071990 I have the same problem but with the u20 MiniPro would greatly appreciate if you give me some help
When PC Companion said that to me it annoyed me.
But I simply flashed stock .42 kernel .ftf (I had stock rom + custom kernel) using flashtool and the PC Companion could update my Neo V (MT11i) to .62 stock rom.
Then I re-flashed custom kernel and thats fine by now.
When ICS is launched I'll do the same procedure. Flash stock .62 kernel, connect to pc companion, upgrade to ICS (so I do not loose data) and reflash custom kernel.
Hi,
I tried installing the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514050 but im stuck at the boot screen when the SONY Logo comes, stuck for 5 hours now. tried more than 10 times with complete wipe, cache everything that is available in CWM but unable to get past the boot screen, can someone help me?
I'm able to upadte my system with this link
4.0.2.A.0.62 Generic Firmware + Root + Busybox + CWM MT15/MT11

Plz helpp....
What kernel you using has to be custom not stock
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
I tried your case many time...try just wipe data/factory reset
Find me at Gtalk
Sent from my fast Neo V
Sorry for my bad English...
Just download compatible night elf or other kernel. Flash it in fastboot and reboot.
There is nothing wrong with ROM no need to keep wiping it.
I'm not sure which kernel my neo is having as i have tried various things in last one month. How do i find it out (Sorry i'm a beginner here)

Generally it is in about phone in settings but as you are not able to load up any ROM i suggest just flash one to make sure you are on right kernel.

hi ankurvij,
by which method you root your neo v if it is DoomLoRD's toolkit then it roots your phone with locked bootloader
to my knowledge Team Xperia SE.TWEAKED V1 is for unlocked bootloader only correct me if i'm wrong
you won't install custom ROM but can install Stock ROM
i've tried the same thing after rooting DoomLoRD's toolkit same error as yours
now on stock firmware from emannxperia with some tweaks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544273
I had similar problems when I put a rom with an inappropriate kernel. But for this you must have the bootloader open
Yes, i used DoomLoRD's toolkit .. i will give a try to ICS Now
Thanks for ur reply..

Hi,
first I read the tutorials and followed them but I was not far away from bricking my phone.. Here is what I did:
Installed Flash Tool 0.9.5.0 and drivers
Started Flash Tool and selected Flashmode, started phone in Flashmode
"ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0076";ERR_DYNAMIC=" Flash too small for current partitioning"
Device didn't boot, showed triangle with "!" inside..
Searched the internet..
Flashed again with checkbox "Exclude Partition" checked..
Flashed successfully..
Disconnected Phone, powered on - short vibration but black screen
Restored original firmware with SEUS - now booting again but with Android 2.3..
Anyone an idea how to install ICS??
Thanks in advance

As I said I'm back on stock GB already.. I have not unlocked BL or rooted the phone, I only wanted to flash stock ICS as on update check it doesn't find ICS update (got phone from german provider 1&1).. I don't see why this tutorial should help me with my problem..

OK tried Sony Update Service and PC Companion and update check on the phone.. It says allways that I'm on the newest firmware but I'm still on GB.. Thats the reason why I wanted to flash it the manual way.. On the internet it was said around 20th of august that the update is rolling out
Can it be so hard? Flashed several phones before but failing hard on Xperia P..
So current situation, newest GB but no idea how to get official ICS working (always partition error with Flash Tool and black screen when flashing with exclude partition..)..
Huge mistake on my side!! The phone is XPERIA U not P as I thought.. Shame on me.. Guess I have to wait a few days more until the update arrives.. Sorry for my mistake and thanks for the help!
Small sideeffect, we now know that flashing XPERIA P rom on XPERIA U doesn't work

download stock firmware and flash it using flashtool.
my boot loader unlocked x10i cant charge and it won't boot it always shows the sony Ericsson logo
but some times after 30 minutes it boots
Reflash it with flahtool (new ROM)
Sent from note, a phone like never before
You have to reflash it...
becase the kernel seem doesnt work or no compatible with your device.
or if you confuse with all of this, you can download sony PC Companion, then repair the phone
