i was going to get all info and links and post a easy 123 step method for locked bootloader 2.3.4 neo with 62 fw.
like this. (just example idk what comes first or what to do yet)
1) download this (*****)
2) download that (*****)
3)put (***) in the folder named (*****)
4) connect phone in flash mode
5)flash this and that
6) done. you can now put roms on and you have full root access..
i suggest use pandemics answer thank him and grant him best wishes with his work maybe donate him.
i will also post a list of roms that work with locked bootloader, maybe an ics version or 2
Basically i make this for simple instructions to get root cwm and rom. i will work hard to try make this good very very noob guide,
I see your xtra noob guide. after downloading and doing as you say will that give me root cwm and custom rom? have you got list of roms i can use if i root neo with your guide?
It's not hard to understand, but just you are lazy to try understand.
How can: flash .42, root, OTA (optionally flash .62 kernel) be hard to understand? What can be more simpler/noob prof than this?
Things aren't complicated, it just need to take some free time to TRY understanding them.
If all this is to complicated, only 1,2,3 which I can suggest is:
1)turn on phone
2)use it stock
3)turn it off

don't be lazy, go trough dev section and check yourself what rom's are for locked BL's.
it's not hard, actually most of them have word locked or unlocked in their title.
This is not for me i know this. i root my old phone, i am experience enough to cook my own rom on my old phone i also rite simple android apps so i know this. i do this for someone who not had android before i want nice simple instruction for them without the corporate mumbo jumbo

I don't know your earlier experience and knowledge, but based on your questions in this thread, you don't know how to do it, or it's hard for you to understand. (to lazy to quote each of your sentence with question). Maybe I'm wrong, but I just reply on your posts.
Also, making instruction even more simplified(then the one on Pandemic link) we are making zoombies out of people, who don't use their heads to think and try to understand something. People becoming to lazy these days.
I dont think its lazy, i work with zombies that need zombie noob guides lol.
i am not lazy i do this for the community that want easy answer and list of roms for locked bootloaders (i am now searching and editing my posts with roms i find) please see my second post

I know it is not there but there is no way.??
There is a pretty old site called google for questions. Try it out once in a while.
Stop spamming the forums with repeated questions.
To your question about adb, I had already replied to a different post you had created yesterday. What is the point of asking the same questions again and again without checking the responses to your previous posts.
Having read 3 of the threads you have created in the last 2 days(all of them very similar), you seem like a guy out to exploit the goodwill of other users on this forum and one who is incapable of following even the simplest of instructions.
And
Please don't create a new thread asking for the expansion of 'adb'.

Just Telling "use search button" to people with new thread isnt helpful and doesnt solves our problem, Clean your eyes look carefully "Step By Step guide" ? Can you see that, okay now put it in the search button- if you get what you want you are a genius. If no then you know what you are

OK. I'm also a noob, but I rooted my xperia s (with locked Bootloader) last week with this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754429
If you read through the first post completly you will find the following phrase:
"Guide:
Before you root your device, your device must running Gingerbread. Flash it back to Gingerbread if your device are running Ice Cream Sandwich Open Run.dat and it will lead you through the process"
If you are on ICS you have to flash black to Gingerbread with Flashtool. Here the link to the Flashtool thread:

And here the link to the xperia s firmware thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
There is no simple root-method at the moment, perhaps later, I don't know. Keep in mind: This is a new device and the development of a dedicated root-method keeps a lot of time. Please take a look at other threads and read through. Collect as much information as possible.

If you are planning to downgrade for rooting or otherwise is it good to factory reset your phone before flashing stock ROMs?

I had done that. When using the flashtool I had kept that option checked but when I did successfully (no errors messages in flashtool) flashed and downgraded to GB from ICS, I was not able to download any apps from play store. I was also unable to login into google chat. I was able to use my gmail app without any issues though. Is this normal?
I did xda and google search on this issue about not being able to login to google chat etc, almost 90% of them said that you have to remove your primary google account which is not possible to do unless you root or do a factory reset.
Hello,
I'm new to this forum and to rooting. I currently have a SE Neo (MT15i) with ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431 or something close). I have unlocked my bootloader, i have installed fastboot, flashmode whatever. I want to root my phone, which program should I use and how do I do it? I have no idea what kernel is, what roms are etc...? Can you please tell me what they are? Thanks!
Update: I went on several threads such as the guide in the Neo V Dev, it was old, I'm not sure if it would work on my version right now.
I also went on Doomlord's kit which was about rooting a .562.
EDIT: After so much researching, I found out that my device is just NEO not NEO V
How to root - sticky thread in general section
Kernel, rom and all other basic things are explained in various sticky threads in neo sections as well as in arc sections. Also you can google it a bit. After you read that and you still got questions, ask.
Take some free time to read all that.
Maybe you won't get fast answer but you will benefit on a long run

Hello Madfysh, I just saw your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690.
The thing is, I don't get the ROOT part of it :/. Specifically this,
How(for unlocked bootloaders): flash or hotboot any kernel with CWM and flash superuser... zip from attachment.
for hoooootboot you can use this kernel: http://www.4shared.com/file/LMJWQkxw/recoveryNeo.html or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1183465
flash: fastboot flash boot name_of_kernel.img

Please explain a little further for a noob like me? XD
Also, I saw on the flashtool UI, there is a button called Root. Does it work on my phone? Should I do it?
Hi Mate,
you can root .431 by below method:
Rooting ..431
1. Flash .431 firmware , ignore if you are already having.
2. copy rootxperia.zip and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to sd card
3. Fastboot recoveryneo.img
4. Flash the above 2 files
4. flash .431 kernel
search for the zip,img and kernel in this forum , you will get it.
i hope u know how to fast boot, else search in this forum.
thanks.

As I said, since you are new, you should read some tutorials and threads.
You can ether hotboot that kernel using fastboot.exe or you can even use flashtool to flash/hotboot kernels, just pick fastboot mode.

Tehnically it's same, both are superuser app, which you can update, once you boot up your phone, from the google play.

1) superuser is now system app, so no, factory reset should not remove root access,
2) 99% of custom rom's are already pre-rooted.

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

You are out of luck dude.since your bootloader is locked, you can install a limited number of custom roms.

wtf, seriously? There's a faq stickied right at the beginning of the forum.
Are you somewhat special and things posted to help others don't relate to you?
maybe this helps you

If you unlock your bootloader the official way, you can install a lot of roms around here, but you will loose warranty and the DRM.
There is also a way to unlock it via testpoint method, you don´t loose your DRM
I unlocked my bootloader the offical way, i dont use DRM, and i can install all that wonderfull custom kernels here, many of them make your phone much smoother and safes battery, thats why i unlocked my BL
If you have unlocked bootloader you can flash a kernel only, like KRsH Kernel ICS 3.0, this kernel will root your .587 on first boot easy way to root yout phone, but remember you need unlocked bootloader and this will void your warranty and you will loose DRM (depends on the way you choose to unlock your BL)
For me, i prefer this way rooting my stock FW.

Thanks for your rply bro. actually am not lazy .. really i already read most of the topics .. got some knowledge but still am confused.Actually am afraid because if i did anything wrong without actual knowledge there is a chance of getting my phone destructed wr8??
We all started out with no knowledge about anything, right?
My suggestion is to Read.... Read.... Read.... And then when you are all tired from reading, read some more. Be sure to look at the stickies in the forum.

sure bro. am not tired of reading.. jus lil confused .Dats y i created thread specifying my device's configuration hoping some one will exactly post how to root it
You are the rude one by acknowledging that there are guides out there and decide to open a thread instead of doing like everyone else did, search, learn, search some more, act. I rooted my phone 3 days after getting it when there was half of the guides out there atm, and with little to no knowledge about android, and i am not some sort of super-genius, i can assure you that.
Here it's all explained along with a nice android dictonary http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
And this is a thread started by mihan especially for noobs (and it starts by saying "i know there's lots of guides but people keep asking so here's one more") http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
As a matter of fact you got bashed by pretty much everyone who replied.
The info is all out there, if after all that you still don't underastand what root is or have doubts about it perhaps it's not a path you should follow.
As zeppelinrox says "calling yourself a noob is no excuse, do like everyone else of us did, search and learn, it's all out there", if you encounter problems following root then people will be there to help, but your thread sounds a lot like "guys, how do i power on my phone? i can't be bothered reading the instruction manual" and that is rude, disrespectful and demotivating towards all the people who took time to make the aforementioned guides (btw, i only took the first two sticjkies of this post, and all is explained there, there's no need to search further).

Don't be afraid... If anything goes wrong just download your specific stock firmware from here

And then flash the .ftf file via flashtool
Your device will be back to where you started from

You are in Aroma Installer ... Some devs use this Aroma Installation in their ROMs...
Choose your device properly and then choose your language...
