[Q] Warranty for xperia neo v Bricked - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hello i had reccently bricked my xperia neo v.
I had rooted the device and installed
Chainfire 3D
edited build.prop with one only item.
SD Boost
the phone will just boot loop it will show the "Sony" restart "Sony" and again and again.. always the same.
I would like to know if they can tell when my mobile is rooted or not.
I have locked bootloader ( i had never unlocked it.)
Also any good excuses?
Will i have to pay money because in other thread they say they paid around 20$
I am in Europe the phone was bought in Europe.
Also i would like to know if it is possible to fix it on my own risk-free ( i have been told that flashing can solve this but i have been also said that it is too dangerus... also if i try flashing will they be able to tell if i flashed it and lose warranty?)
Thanx in advance

remove sd card and try to turn it on.
if that doesn't work, repair software with PC Companion.

---

i have already tried.
But seus or PCC tell me that my phone is up to date and it gives no option to repair i tried in 2 PCs
(Seus doesnt shows my device's icon like before only the text message)

So back to the main question can they tell if my phone is rooted althought it is soft bricked?
( if i flash my mobile and it turn out to be a huge failure will they know it?)

once you do a clean(full) flash, root will be gone
they will do the same, first they flash then they check.
but it's software problem I believe, so no need to take it to service center.

(SEUS only says : There is no available Software for your phone
At your mobile phone there is already installed the most recent software available
and there is only exit available.)
I tried uninstalling it and install it more than 3 times...

I dont think that the battery is the problem because it was working yesterday...
Also as i previusly said PCC and SEUS dont work.
They both say that the mobile is updated and they wont let me update.
I found a flash tool and i found SE ICS for nordic but i would like to find one for my country.

Use search function mate, just type flashtool. There are a guide too for how to use it.
You can search nordic ftf file too if you dont have it.
It wont brick your phone if you follow all the guide carefully.
I use it all the time since on X10, since i am a noob on android and never brick my phone.
Do it, you will never worry about software thing or bricked thing if you know flashtool.
And our phone hard to brick unless you flash kernel from other phone or you drop it from 12th floor

so when you connect phone, and in upper part of screen it says "Your phone is up to date" Like in ss1(attachments), and when you press on that blue text, you get another screen which tells you same thing, your phone is up to date.
You will see a note under that, and at the end of that note you will see "repair phone". Check ss2(attachments).
Or even try this, click on Start on the support zone(see on ss1), then you will get another screen(ss3) click on Start under Phone Software Update, after that you should get same screen which offer you repair phone(ss2).
Are you sure that it doesn't say something else, like that your phone contains modified software and that you can't update it?

---

I've had same problem like you,and i've stayed 3 days with phone dead until i've find out how to reflash it. Use Flashtool to flash again the ftf file.Here's a little tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384535 Good luck.
