I have Xperia Neo v MT11i
I have created backup using CMW of android 4.0.3 ICS version after updating through flashing ....
today I, reflashed to android 2.3.4 GB , unfortunately after installing CMW again now I restored the same backup that I created of ICS version using CMW .... now my phone just stops at SONY ERICSSON logo, ....... I think it is bricked now........
I have unlocked bootloader
Please help to unbrick.....
things i have these things with me.......
1. Flash tool
2. NeoV.4.0.2.A.0.62.ftf .........(GB)
3. MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Nordic_1253-1755.ftf ......(ICS)
4. CMW recovery image to boot into CMW recovery.
5. Backup made with CMW with ICS version.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED....
1. flashing both GB and ICS version using flash tool, but gets error as ......Error flashing. Aborted
2. formating systen, data, cache, within recovery options of CMW recovery.... still nothing good....
Please help .....
1) it's CWM not CMW
2) cwm recovery doesn't contain kernel
4) ICS can't work on GB kernel
5) solution: use ICS kernel when you're using ICS CWM backup

Regarding this problem, first you said you flashed GB and now you say you got error, how is that?
For flashing ICS .ftf use latest flashtool and tick no final data verification option, or something like that.
If you have problem flashing GB .ftf, using latest flashtool, then use some older version.
I meant that after bricking my phone, i just tried to re-flash GB or ICS to unbrick, and now flashing does not occur successfully but ends with error.

Read what I wrote above.
And give us a bit more info.
What flashtool version are u using, what OS are u using. What error do you get,log file.
Tried downloading older version of flashtool?
extract kernel.sin file from MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_Nordic_1253-1755.ftf
connect phone with fastboot mode to pc
then you have to run fastboot.exe from FlashTool\x10flasher_lib\fastboot.exe
flash kernel.sin via this command
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
Good news
I managed to reinstall android ICS, before that i tried Wostan X tool Unlock, upto the point where it showed that you have not enough credits. then i retried Flashtool and got ICS installed. now phone runs ICS successfully.
Now a new problem arrived...... Now I cannot connect phone in fast boot mode...... also my adb drivers are gone...... Please help
First you said you have unlocked BL, and now you tried to use wotan tool for unlock, why?
How did you unlock your bootloader?
And regard your driver problem, install drivers from flashtool folder.
And no need to write with that over sized colored text.
I have unlocked bootloader 2 months ago using sony bootloader unlock service...
one other problem I have not mentioned earlier is that phone does not detect SIM card, i have tried 3 other SIM cards also
also by opening service menu in *#*#7378423#*#* --> configuration --> Bootloader unlock allowed: No . earlier it shows yes as i have unlocked it before.
That unlockx is a nasty bit of software, if you try to unlock without credits, it cripples your phone trying to force a sale.
Download s1tool use the restore button, this will fix the sim issue. Then unlock via the Sony method as you used originally.

I have downloaded setool, but it does not shows MT11 in phone type..... then how to use setool? more over i can't run phone in fastboot mode now, only flash mode is possible.
Must be s,1tool not setool
You have to install the zeus drivers, and touch the testpoint, it should detect it as Zeus flash device, then use restore.

Here is the tutorial for Installing stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM plus root and CWM. I am not responsible or anyone mentioned below for bricking your phone in case, tested on my Xperia ray with unlocked bootloader using S1 tool.
Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader (preferred) although there is a work around for locked bootloader
4.0.2.A.0.62 FTF files
Flashtool
recoveryRay.img by and Rootxperia.zip b1n4ry (for rooting)
CWM
Installation:
How to Install stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM:
Download this stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM. Thank you Aire for providing the link.
After download you will have a zip file. Extract it.
Download flashtool here and extract it.
Create FTF file using flashtool from the 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM zip you extracted earlier. Now if you don't know how to create FTF files, there's a good tutorial here.
If you successfully created FTF file, you should see a file with extension “.ftf” in the “firmwares” folder inside “FlashTool” folder
Run the executable “X10FlashTool.exe” located in the FlashTool folder
Now click “Flash” button and select flashboot. Now select the firmware from the popup menu. Make sure “Wipe user data” box is checked and then click “OK”.
The application will ask you to put your Ray in flashboot mode, to do this turn off the phone, hold the volume down button while while connecting the USB cable to your computer.
Follow the on screen instruction and your device will reboot. Notice that the reboot process will take longer at first.
How to install Root
Please note that this is only applied to devices with unlocked bootloader. Alternately, you can just install a custom kernel and root using zergrush method but if you want to try the .62 kernel from this stock rom then do this.
Download rootxperia.zip here and place it in your sd card
Enter device in fastboot mode. Turn off phone, hold volume up while you connect the USB cable to computer
Download the recoverRAY.img provided below, you will get a zip file, extract it.
Open folder inside Flashtool where fastboot.exe exists (/FlashTool/x10flasher_lib)
Place the recoveryRAy.img inside the folder
Open command line in this folder
Test if it recognize your device, to do this type fastboot devices, if there is a result here proceed.
Now here's the tricky part, to enter a temporary recovery type fastboot boot recoveryRAY.img
*Notice that we didn't use fastboot flash boot ****.img here because as bin4ry said this recovery is designed to work just as recovery, if you flash it to your device it will NOT boot system anymore! This is just a temporary recovery for you so be careful not to flash it.
Now wait and your phone will reboot, you will see the FREE XPERIA splash screen and your device will now enter temp CWM recovery
On your phone choose install custom zip, locate the rootxperia.zip you added earlier in your SD card and flash it.
Reboot, your device is now rooted.
*to root your device with locked bootloader, they say you can install previous stock kernel and root using zergrush method.
How to install CWM
Download this then extract
Make sure you enabled USB debugging, and also you need to set Screen timeout to 10 minutes so you don't miss the superuser promt
Run install-cwm1.cmd from the folder
Follow screen on screen instruction, reboot.

Aire said, his current kernel supports .62 but they are currently working for repack based on this new firmware.
I haven't tried installing any custom firmware at the moment, I want to test this stock firmware for changes and improvement especially the baseband and battery consumption.

Hm ok, btw, can you post the original link for rootxperia.zip?
EDIT: sorry you already did that thanks!
UPDATE: I'm trying to do SEUS update now though. Hope this thing won't brick..
UPDATE 2: SEUS update won't brick our phone if it uses the Testpoint method O what a happy day it is.. Let's see if i can flash aire kernel back.
is that a global version or what ? some people said, that version has some bugs..
can we root this version with the new DoomLord v4 Root ?
from the Arc forum, i found that they can root their device with .62 firmware just by using flashtool.. can we do that so ?
thx

The firmware is provided by Aire, however if you encounter ftf generic firmware, it will be nice if you post it here.
As to bugs, I'm using this firmware for a day now and I noticed improvement in battery and speed, no bugs so far. I haven't tried the doomlord v4 root, but rooting via recovery is easy.

O that.. That means you need to unlock the bootloader (at least with Test Point method). Never thought that won't work before.
most download link from MultiUpload cannot download the firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 ROM, any alternative link?

If your bootloader is still locked you can not root your device using that method. The only work around is to install previous kernel and root using zergrush method.

Thank you "idareyoutoclickthis" and "hansip87" for your replies.
In fact I had rooted my Ray earlier 4.0.2.A.0.42ver using the zergrush method using DooMLoRD_v4_Root Which I lost when I upgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.62ver. Now DooMLoRD_v4_Root won't work with 4.0.2.A.0.62ver update.
Now what about the bootloader thing? Sorry for being so dumb. Can you please elaborate a bit? I've got only got to the point wherein i checked the status using the service menu (*#*#.....#*#). It only says Rooting Status: Bootloader unlocking allowed: Yes.
What do I have to do now? Please help.

Indeed .62 is the latest built which include alot of improvements specially on batter issue.
If you don't want custom rom and kernel and is contented with the stock ROM and kernel then you don't need to unlock your bootloader.
to root your device, you need to flash stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel only, you can do this with locked bootloader and root using zergrush method.

Can anyone help me. From vietnam
First of all, im newbie and i dont know much about this
I installed new wolfbreak v7 rom on xperia x10 but i cant get wifi working. I've read that i need doomlord's unlocked bootloaders so i downloaded .ftf file but i cant flash it, i get this in flashtool (newest version):
17/007/2012 13:07:13 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I was following this thread but i cant get it to flash.
And i know i need that CWM recovery to flash the wifi.zip file but how do i get that recovery.
If anyone can tell me how do i unlock bootloader on my phone (xperia x10). My phone is not sim-unlocked, only rooted.
Initially (from a shop) in the phone the bootloader is locked.
If you want to flash a kernel for unblocked bootloader, then at first it is needed to execute procedure of unlocking of bootloader.
how do i do that?

Hi, I'm on wolf's Rom.
First of, did you make a clean install starting from 2.1?
Then after rooting your phone & putting xrecovery onto it, you have to unlock your bootloader with the same flashtool. ( plug in phone & press unlock bootloader in flash tool)
After that's done, enter xrecovery, wipe everything(factory reset etc.) & install Wolf's Rom for UB Important is, do not reboot, take out your battery & flash dooms kernal through flash tool!!
When that's done, you can install dooms WiFi fix through xrecovery!!
Hope I could help you out

For all of you having problems with unlocking bootloader. Simply follow this(I did this with Wolfbreak's v7 ROM on):
1. Download the latest Flashtool v0.6.7.0(you can get it here)
2. Run it, then plug the device.
3. (In flashtool) Go to Plugins> Unlock bootloader.
4. Follow the instructions in flashtool(always look at the log)
5. Done, your bootloader is unlocked.
Hope this helps
Download link is not reuploaded
EDIT: Oh and yeah, don't forget to install the flashtool drivers, it can be found on the install directory "Flashtool\drivers". If a message appears while installing just click "Install this driver anyway" it will appear many times, just keep on clicking it til installation is done. Good Luck everyone!

Once you're on StockRom, use flashtool to root...
If you are on 2.1 stock rom use flashtool to install a 2.3 stock rom, once you did it unlock your bootloader and install a kernel with his wifi module... Then you're ready to install FeraLab v14 or another rom...

II may need some directions about unlocking bootloader and installing kernel and stuff..
and is xrecovery erased by this?
edit : Xperia X10 was updated with 3.0.1.G.0.75.
So now you are on 2.3.3...
You have to root again your phone...
Use the last version of flashtool...
And the guide by Crowds (It's in my signature "How to use Flashtool by Crowds")...
All is explained for all the stuff... Installation of Flashtool, the drivers needed, the rooting process, the unlocked bootloader process...
Once all is done, install a kernel (It's a .tft file) with flashtool (DooMKerneL, Thgo kernel, KCkernel... )
Don't forget it's wifi module (it's a zip file to copy on sdcard and install via recovery)...
Then, copy the rom you want on sd card and install it via recovery

I have a similar problem and i tried to follow the pdf that was provided but when i do i boot into xrecover 0.3.
info as follows:
Are u on locked bootloader or unlocked one ? AFAIK it was
Do u run Flashtool with admin rights if u use windows ? yes
Do u have the latest version of Flashtool ? yes 0.0.9
Do u have all the drivers installed for your device ? yes
Do u try PCC to go back to Stock Rom ? busy downloading now to try fix but i can't put into "download mode" so not sure what to do there.
Any thanks would be appreciated

Buy download mode do you mean flash mode? Flashmode = phone off & unplugged, then while holding the back button plug in usb to pc. Should only get green led, no screen.

Hello. I need help. Im on stock GB 4.0.2.a.0.62, stock kernel and rooted. I installed cwm using the playstore cwm(xpack?). It says the cwm is not permanent though.
I was trying to install the "HASA GB v6 beta all" using the cwm(i total wipe first), but forgot to flash the kernel first(rage kernel?), and now it wont boot.
I cant enter the cwm i guess because the cwm is not permanent.
I tried flashing official firmware back using flashtool but hang at "Reading device information"
I tried flashing the unbrickingxperia2011 ftf and flashing the firmware again but it still hang at the reading device.
Btw, my device can enter flashmode(green led) n fastboot(blue led).
Help please! Thanks a lot

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, just flash the kernel in fastboot mode and then you should be able to boot in cwm
You don't need to install cwm using xparts, all kernels have cwm included, so just flash a kernel you like and you have cwm :good:

No, you need to do try it again like that:
1. Go to flashtool installation folder -> drivers: install all drivers for all devices/modes
2. Launch flashtool
3. Click the flash -> flashmode
4. Select the .ftf, don't exclude anything, but tick "no final verification"
5. When the poup appears, take your phone, and take out the battery
6. After 10 seconds, reinsert the battery and hold volume down. While holding volume down connect the phone to your pc
7. Now the flashing should start and we can hope it'll work!
8. Boot up the phone, root it, install cwm, restore the backup!
On a locked bootloader, you can't flash a kernel. You need to choose a rom for locked bootloader and follow all instructions like given there :good:

First of all you don't need to try PC Companion as it won't work on an unlocked bootloader!
Have you tried flashing another kernel in fastboot mode?

No, better don't advise to lock the phone again when it's bricked. That isn't a good idea!

The Sony PC Companion trick worked. My phone is working fine now. Only thing is it is now in GB 2.3.4 and bootloader is also locked. I have to start again from scratch and root my device to update it to JB
Thanks everyone for solutions.....:victory::laugh::laugh:

That's strange as PC Companion doesn't work on an unlocked bootloader normally. Did you lock it again or did it just work like that?

Maybe that's possible because you used the testpoint method! Really interesting

Okay, I have a big problem with my phone, I decided to redo the operating system to a new version/ROM because the one i was using on it before several issues where coming up with it, 1: I Couldn't connect to other providers even though i had phone unlocked. 2: Some default programs where having problems starting.
So When doing a kernel upgrade my phone did not respond kept staying for 2 hours on the "SE" logo, and would not budge, so i decided to remake it, after about 4 hours i was able to get a OS on it, but this OS was older and out of date, when trying to go back to xRecovery it did not want to come up, i downloaded a Reboot to Recovery APK, which informed me that My "xRecovery" was not installed, which is weird because it was installed before.
I been trying to get the Default root method to install xRecovery which every time i ran the "Flash tools" program, it would not allow me to install xRecovery.
If anyone can contact me on skype "mradziwilko" to help me out, or post here ill be here checking on forum every min.
Thanks
Anyone would love some help?

Hi buddy, Have you tried to use ftf file like zahdi5h, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212260 to update?
You have to have unlocked boot loader and you can drag and drop the ftf into flash tool. Make sure you tick no final verification in flashtool or you will get error.
If that don't work then I suggest starting over with fresh 2.3.3.
Go back to stock using Sony Ericsson Update Service (seus) Use google or search threads for program.
Then just re-do, unlock boot loader and install recovery again with flashtool.
Hopefully zahdi5h ftf file will get you out of trouble.

I downloaded this FTF File, when opening it with the latest Flash Tool, it does not Recognize it.
Is their a possability you can link me another FTF, i know CM9 worked, but because i dont have a boot loader i need a ftf to be flashed, i tried with the IMG file, but the flashtool.exe keeps saying <Waiting for Device> and does nothing.
Also to add more info :
My Phone I thought was originaly a Xperia X10a, which it bios it says its a Xperia X10i.

Hi mate is your boot loader unlocked? If not then unlock it with flashtool. Try Version 0.9.10.1 of flashtool. Work's for me.
Download from http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1373179542000
And you can also drag and drop the FTF file into flash-tool. FTF contains Kernel and rom., tick the no final verification box on bottom right.
