Try reinstalling the Drivers included with Flashtool.. might Fix the Problem
go to flashtool drives and install fastboot drivers
are you flashing the img from fastboot folder?

Don´t forget to unable unknown sources and USB debug.
If don´t work try to change USB connection on your phone from MTP to MSC or vice-versa.

I'm really new for rooting and I found a tutorial on how to root neo v easily and it said to root it after turning off my phone.(the blue led notification).so how to change usb mode?
To get blue LED, switch off your phone, remove any cable. Press and hold the Menu button and insert the cable while holding the Menu button.
I suppose, for Flashtool method, you need the green LED. Do the same while holding the back button.
EDIT: I am sorry, you need the blue LED only

.62 Is not root-able u might need to Downgrade to .42 or Upgrade to .562 (ICS) version if u want to root Easily,,
However .62 is Rootable but Not VIA Flashtool,,,

If you are trying to update to .62 via the Sony PC Companion or OTA update using your phone, it will fail as the bootloader is unlocked and there is no update support for those with unlocked bootloader.

Hey buddy, since you've got your phone rooted, why don't you try out some awesome ROMs for your phone? They are quite simple to install and Neo V has quite a few modders . I'm not a big fan of Sony's stock ROM with all their bloatware anyway
Have fun

Tip: if the flashtool not regonize your phone, use pc companion to install the SEMC Usb Driver
to let flashtool regonizing your phone.
howto do: use pc companion, do what it says,
if it says: you have already the new update, press recover, he install the SEMC Usb Driver,
then press cancel.
Now you have the Semc Usb Driver installed on your Pc/Laptop.
Updated with the new kernel from DooMlord.
read this carefully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
i do this:
1: Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!
2: flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
then do this and download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256430
if it no respond just wait, i must have his superuser action regonize
then do this:
3: after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
4: now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
power off phone and flash X10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v06-FS-BootManager-v1.4.ftf
with flashtool
now reboot your phone and go to XRecovery and install the zipfile: x10_gb_DooMKernel-v05a-FS_wifi modules
power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
WOOOHOOO!!! Here you are with unlocked bootloader, custom kernel directly loaded AND without reflashing any rom, means you have kept your current installation
Doom his files:
Flash this with flashtool: http://www.multiupload.com/ISV5FMZHJ0
install this with xrecovery: http://www.multiupload.com/XMB0OO8PWH
i do it like this and it works !
Important !! If you are using the Unlocking Bootloader tool, just wait, do nothing,
He must get his acces to superuser, look at the letters/numbers in the tool
[*] >> run ADB in tools as administrator of x10 bootloader dont work, after that it works !
press hard but safely the Thanks button !!
succes !!!
p.s. i help a friend yeeyon1990 and myself and maybe more.

You can't run a gingerbread rom with the stock kernel! Thats why you stick on the stock kernel logo (sony ericcson). Read the first post of the rom you flashed carefully. Isn't there something like you need costum kernel, unlock bootloader first...
What Rom did you Flash?
I hope you did a Backup in recovery ?
Did you follow the install instructions? Full wipe... Tell us a bit more, so we ca help you

SEUS is the Sony Ericsson Update Service. As the name says, it updates your phone and repairs if necessary.
If you are trying to flash a new ROM, you have to unlock bootloader first, install custom kernel and then flash the new ROM. Look for the tutorials, they should help.

You need to unlock the Bootloader. Then you can flash a Costum Kernel. Use The flashtool, it's a Genius "one big Button Tool" from Bin4ry and Androxyde Thank and Donate to them. Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10881307. Its a "How to Guide". The Flashtool you can get here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool I hope this helps. Happy modding
U20i/nAaCM7+Kernel/XDAPremium
Before flashing a custom kernel, be sure you meet the requirements to do so. I mean, sometimes you need a specific baseband version in order for the kernel to work properly

No it is the Homepage of the Flashtool. 100% real . But lets start from the beginning and please be more specific! Did you repair your Phone with SE Companion? Or are you trying to Flash over and over again? When you have a bootloop the Flashtool can't reconize your Phone

Hey all,
i am facing a problem with the .62 update, it downloads perfectly and in the installation phase it just can't make it let me explain how the device reboots normally showing the first splash screen the one with the arrow going out of the box then the second screen also but at the 3rd screen the one with the arrow is going into the phone it just reboots and open the phone showing the message unable to install the update and i still have the .62 update notification in my notification bar and is it Worthing.
any help would be appreciated
PS. i flashed the current version 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Global version(HongKong)) cause my phone got bricked and rooted it using a flashing tool with the file name (MT15i_ 4.0.2.A.0.42_Global)
one last thing i wish to know, when the ICS official update pops up can i still have it with this problem and is this a problem with the recovery cause i cant know that i am having a custom or the stock one and how can i know whether the boot loader locked or not

So i downloaded flash tool , downloaded a kernel , opened flashtool , did all the steps and then on the logs it told to remove my phone and switch it on but now when i try to switch it on it stays on a black screen and after sometime it vibrates and the back button switches on and then it goes back to the black screen and then again it vibrates. Please help

I think you are trying to root your phone with locked bl.
proceed with the rooting steps then flash your own kernel again and It will be okay.

Do not worry it is hard to brick 2011 xperia phones.
I'm sure if you flashed your phone firmware again it will boot.
now, If I'm not wrong you were following this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842366
If you pay attention to the steps and follow them carefully you will succeed it rooting your phone with locked bl.
But give us some information to be able to help you.
Current firmware?
So are you following my rooting guide(see my signature). There it's clearly stated that whatever the status is continue with rooting. If u followed everything correctly u'll be successful.

i followed the rooting steps correctly and now after i rooted it using doomlord v1 xperia 2011 ics root , i installed the kernal using flashtool. I switched my phone back on and now its stuck at a black screen again with the periodic vibration but this time without the back capacitive touch screen button instead my screen's light keeps flickering.
Did you flashed your kernel at the end? The kernel found at the end differ from the when used while rooting!

Ok download the complete stock firmware of your phone(nearly 200 MBs) and flash it in flashmode. It should most probably switchon the device

Yes i did flash the second kernel at the end.
what all info do you need?
Hold on a second what are u guys talking about...... How is he suppose to flash kernel with a locked bootloader?? Lol
Btw flash the stock firmware first then unlock bootloader(official method or testpoint method) then flash a pre rooted kernel
Device: WT19i
Rom: Zelly Cream 2.0 [MDPI]
Kernel : Lupas v3

Dude please have proper knowledge before posting. You need an unlocked bootloader for custom kernels not the official one which are signed by sony. In the complete ftf firmware kernel is also included and it is flashed using flashtool. So in official kernel everything is removed from the ftf except kernel.sin and loader.sin and then the ftf is flashed on locked bootloader. As simple as that.

Do not follow his steps, unlocking bootloader will erase drm files which cause track id not to work and you will not be able to receive ota updates.
SO, do not unlock your bootloader unless you understand the consequences.
Now, what I can tell you is try to repair with seus or pcc, after that follow the rooting guide again, it is very simple but make sure you are following step by step correctly.
The phone is in your hand and the computer is infront of you.
You are the one who is going to figure this out and make this work.
Good luck.
