I just rooted my phone using this method, which has been succesful for me earlier.
Everything went fine, and I didn't do anything except for what stated in the post, but when I tried to startup the phone, it gets stuck at the SE logo. Not the text logo, but the logo after the colorfull animation and with the picture logo above of it.
I removed the battery after waiting 10 minutes and I tried again, with the same 'result' (or failure as you wish).
And, yes, I have used the Neo file, not the Arc's. My Neo was running on the latest 4.0.xxxx firmware before rooting.
Should I try:
reflash ROM?
relock bootloader?
flash another ROM
????
Edit:
When charging, the phone also won't get past the green logo, and the LED is not on.
Edit²:
Fastboot mode working, so flashmode if necessary also I guess.
Now retrying from the neo_modded.img
Edit³:
Didn't work, now reflashing stock 2.3.2
Reflash 2.3.2, root with Gingerbreak and update OTA to last 2.3.3
FIXED
now on stock 2.3.2
But, this is XDA, so let's try to flash a pre rooted ROM I just finished downloading.
Hello,
With an unlocked bootlaoder you can flash the 2.3.3 firmware, then install DooMKernel from recovery . That seems Root, Recovery and an Overclock option with the latest stock rom
Phone is working, now checking if rooted.
It was quite easy actually:
flash generic 2.3.3 with flashtool
turn on USB debugging and select device Xperia X10 in the flashtool
in the top menu, click root psneuter
turn phone of, and flash relock bootloader Xperia
update your phone to 2.3.3 using PC companion or SEUS
Hmmm, sure this worked for me once, phone now won't get past a black screen witch lit background, flashmode working. I'll retry.
Fixed, but phone not rooted. I'll leave it this way, non-rooted.
Unlock bootloader. Flash 2.3.4. Flash rootxperia and u got the latest with root. No overclock yet for 2.3.4 but it's all good.

Which firmware version?
Best is to reflash everything and wipe your phone during the process.
Download the X10 flashtool.
I'd recommend this method (only if you have an unlocked bootloader) it's very easy.
here are some additional instructions considering flashtool

Hello All
This is a guide to install the latest version of Android 2.3.4 - MT15i 4.0.1.A.0.283 Global on your NEO and install root access.
(...)
1. Backup your data. (Just in case!)
2. Download the FTF file from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/DGV8GLT1TP
(Thanks to sdk16420 for uploading the update files and thomasafca for making the FTF and uploading!)
3. Flash the FTF file with Flashtool. Unselect 'wipe user data' to preserve data and settings. (You can get flashtool from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012)

Good luck!
I don't know what firmware, i just know that it's a MT15a...
Which firmware should i use?
I just flashed with the latest 2.3.4 firmware and it's working.
Now i would like to know what tutorial to follow to root my phone with this firmware and don't brick it.
Also, I unlocked bootloader before i flashed, so i don't know, it's still unlocked?

yes, it should be still unlocked.
One : since you unlocked your bootloader, some music add-ons in the stock player won't work anymore, same for TrackID. Replacement for TrackID is Shazam.
Two : DO NOT accept over the air updates, only update using PC companion or Update service on your pc, else your phone will be unusable.
So, here's how to root 2.3.4. It's very easy if you know how to flash.
All your data will be saved, but best is to make a backup just for sure.
Note: just copy the zip to your sd card (when I tried it first, I unzipped it. Had no experience with clockworkmod)
Good luck!
I'm having the same problem. I'm on 2.3.3, unlocked the bootloader, and then flashed rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281489. What should I do?
Flash back to stock 2.3.3

I had it too, you can't do anything about it, except cyanogenmod.
Thats my expericence

yes all data is lost,there is now way to get back after reflashing new software.
yeah.. already do that -.-'
What? CWM keeps data in SDcard, its not lost at all. But if you use SEUS, it will probably upgrade do .62 firmware, wich can't be rooted yet. You still have lots of options (flash back to .58 using whatever you like, wotan, flashtool) or unlock bootloader and flash a kernel with CWM builtin.

flash kernel with in-built CWM and restore, if it didn't work then flash ROM again, go to CWM -> backup and restore -> advanced restore -> choose backup file -> restore data. thats it, your apps will be back.

maybe. but before you unlock bootloader, flash stock kernel and rom via flashtool. you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash stock kernel. then root phone. install CWM and restore data. all apps will be back.

Hi, first i want to say sorry about my english level and thanks to people who reads my post.
I try to flash mi xperia mini pro sk17, with ..058 version of firmware, unlocked bootloader, rooted and with CWM.
Will follow the step by step instruction, and after instalation my phone is stuck on Sony Ericsson screen and nothing happens about 10 minutes and after then i remove the battery and try to enter in CWM and again nothing happens.
Does anyone have the same problem and how you resolve it ?
Thanks in advance for people who help me !
Respect for all XDA members !
Occured same problem, flashed my phone back to stock firmware until I find a solution.
Anyone has one?
ok...i will try to explain....I believe you have installed nAa-r2 CWM? It is defective CWM since it is put in system/ section... hybrom rewrites this section, thus, when you start recovery from system/ and try to install ROM, you try to erase CWM from under CWM....just update your FW to .62, install custom kernel you like and then make all wipes and install zip from sd card)

Yeah, I think the best way is to update to .62, then install b kernel (made by bbooff himself - unlock bootloader needed) then load Hybrom, then you can install any other kernel you like. But I have problem with X kernel with Hybrom, first one is bootloo and then draining batterry very fast ^^"

the rom is based on 0.62 Kernel, upgrade first to 0.62 then try flashing again, i dont know if this makes a difference but its worth a try
I solved my problem and installed Hybrom v12 now.
First, indeed, you need to have unlocked bootloader and .62 firmware, I used WotanClient to flash the firmware. Then I got other kernel, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161 this one.
Then I entered the Clockworkmod Recovery(press power button one-two times, when the screen goes lighter on turning on). Then I followed the instructions from the Hybrom and successfully installed it.
I got WT19i, but should apply the same.

i just mean to say that tha CWM recovery shouldn't be gone when changing rom and in my case my CWM recovery is always wiped when i install a stock based rom .
I think the only solution is this: Immediately after flashing the new rom, flash a new cwm zip that installs cwm itself That way, you never lose the recovery so long as you dont forget to install it

Only if the kernel you have is including a CWM recovery Also, if the rom you flash contains another recovery, you lose CWM with it But, yeah I think Khalil's suggestion and mine are the closest you can get to a permanent CWM
noway on this earth you can have CWM permanent.. you flash the stock ftf again and foops its gone... sope alway keep the CWM recovery handy like the other flashin softwares you use...

hi all!
after successfully flashing and rooting my neo v i started trying these excellent roms of XDA developers.
so, with locked BL, after installing XPERIA Ultimate HD and Zelly Bean i went for a try on Ice Cream pureness v14.
i guess my mistake was that after a full wipe from CWM i installed the ROM, the neo v patch and the upgrade without any reboot but the last one.
anyway, i am stuck on a bootloop now
can't access CWM (i guess because of system format....(?))
i flashed stock rom with flashtool but still nothing
i am searching for hours to avoid posting such an embarrassing "first post" but i really can't find a solution
thanx in advance!
EDIT : Just managed to recover the phone using Sony Ericsson update service software, turning it back to 4.0.4 stock. So i am going again for root etc. I guess there should be an easier way so if anybody knows it please share.
and if any admin could fix that "rootloop" in the title....
cheers!
Yes, there is an easier way. Unlock your phone bootloader with one of two methods. I would choose testpoint method.
Just some tips: When you flash zip, always do wipe cache/data (don't wipe system like someone does), check that it is for locked bootloader, for Neo V not L or Neo etc. I never had those problems. Anyway, I don't see advantage of those ROMs on locked bootloader except of removing bloatware, which you can do by yourself.
And it is called bootloop not rootloop.

Thanx for tips! I am quite new to all this so I thought unlocked bl would come at the next level. I guess I might go for it sooner.
I know about the rootloop mistake that's why I asked for a correction

I feel like a noob again. My (rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom rom) Neo V is stucked at bootloop. I tried flashing a stock kernel and it just stucked at the Sony logo, Then I flashed a custom kernel and it only light up the screen and nothing happen. Really need help...
I was trying to flash a custom rom and it was telling me to wipe battery stat and cache in advance option

Ok, I flashed the .ftf and I was able to get into CWM, but when I go back and download the stable cm9 from Cyangenmod, It shows status 7 when flashing...
every rom I try to flash, I get status 7, I tried edit the "updater-script" and it just show installation aborted right away.
Flash kernel first and then ROM

Let me clarify this to you first,
CM doesn't work on Locked Bootloader.
So if you're having locked bootloader, there is one way to fix this:
Reflash ICS .ftf & do the whole rooting, installing CWM Recovery procedure again. Go to recovery & install the ROM with instructions stated in ROM thread.
If you have unlocked the bootloader, two ways to solve this problem:
1. Flash any other ICS kernel. Go to recovery, wipe everything except SDCard of course xD
Then power off the phone & flash kernel from CM9 zip. Install CM9.
2. If above doesn't fix the problem, reflash the ICS .ftf again. Flash CM9 kernel & install the zip usual way.
Cheers!

I have unlocked my bootloader lol. Finally I got it back to normal now. I flashed the stock ftf, then update it to a newer firmware to root it. Flash CWM, Follow the instruction on how to flash cm10 (I use cm9) and everything is fine now, but I still want to flash other custom rom...
@Gemichi
If your Bootloader unlocked,you dont need install CWM or root your phone...
What you have to do is just flash kernel which have built-in CWM.
I advice you read again how to flash kernel,I see your post you install CWM,from that I know your bootloader NOT unlocked
