Today i was installing ics theme in my Neo V, accidently i deleted framwork-res.apk from system root. I got many errors and after restarting it gets stucked at boot-loop.
my phone details...
stock ICS rom rooted with locked bootloader and stock Kernal.
had superuser and busybox but no CWM installed.
I am noob. and now i am not able to connect my cell to PC. (tried PCC and adb)
I searched on internet and forum but didn't find any thing helpful.
Is there any way to restore that file in phone or how to connect it to PC.
Please Help !!!
Hi,
you probably WILL need to unlock your bootloader.

The main idea is to restore your framework-res.apk. U can use aroma explorer if you have installed CWM from boot. If u havent, u should unlock your bootloader, there are several methods, i would suggest the unofficial through s1 tool with testpoint. Do you have a custom ROM build, or the official that came with your phone?
Take your battery off, start flashtool, put battery back in DO NOT power up.
Connect to pc when flashtool tells you holding back button.

thanks guys for replying.
but I don't want to unlock bootloader. so I flashed it completely using flash tool. And had to give-up my all app updates. Now working fine...
Install cwm this time, even if your staying on stock, so that if something like this happens again, atleast it's easier to recover without loosing data.

dont forget to wipe the phone before flash the new one
Try using flashtool and downloading generic 4.0.4, if that doesnt work use SEUS as last resource
Download ftf file for your phone and flash it using flashtool.

Boot Loop issue in Neo V (rooted - locked BL)
hi guys,
My device was on official 4.0.4 and I did root my device successfully using DoomLord's method.
While experimenting with fonts installer app, I did a reboot and the device got stuck at the Sony/XPERIA logo.
Pls help

Hello. My Xperia Neo v is stuck in bootloop.

You should wipe data and cache at first, then install the ROM along with the gapps with it!

Go to recovery mode, wipe phone completely ( cache, data, dalvik cache, battery stat if you want to ), then flash your rom. it will be fine
back to cwm again.

Thanks. I just did that. I flashed it but it came back to CWM again.
please help.
after reboot it came back to recovery ? Okay if it so. try these :
1. do as i said earlier + before flashing rom, after wiping phone , go to mounts and storage and formate /system, /data and /cache manually. then flsah rom and reboot.
if this didn't work,
2. then as the first comment on this page says, download ftf file (rom) for your device and flash it via flashtool. all instructions will be given when you'll select to flash ftf . dont worry this will work definitely.
but sorry i haven't asked you earlier, you have locked bootloader or unlocked ? because if you'r using wrong kernel which is not for the rom, you'll get bootloops.if on wrong kernel, try flashing right kernel for your device. good luck

I was using rooted Stock 4.0.3. I installed CWM recovery. I didnt unlocked bootloader. I did a full wipe but forgot to format cache, data and system. I installed Jelly Sandwich and patched it. When I reboot my phone it stucked at sony logo. When I want to open recovery it also stucks at sony logo. Also when I connect it to charger sony logo appears forever and indication led is not flashing. What can I do to solve this?

Good day guys! I have the same problem. It is actually my first time at this so forgive me. I was trying to install CM 10 on my Neo V. So I went to CWM, wiped data/factory, wiped dalvic-cache then went on to installing the rom. It gave the status 7 error. So I went back to the file to remove the getprop lines. Tried to flash it again, but got another error like this "set_perm: some changes failed". After rebooting, I'm stuck at the "SONY" logo. I can't go to CWM anymore and I can't go to fastboot (pressing volume up + plug usb) too. Is there any way to recover my phone? I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

Did you unlock bootloader before trying out CM based ROMs
Also a clean install is what i'd suggest
First flash The kernel inside the Zip
Then,
Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache
Format data,system,cache
Install your Rom
Also ,Fastboot is not accessed by vol up button but Menu button+plug usb

I happened to soft-brick my Neo V few days back after installing a custom ROM. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.
Details Please!!
Details details !!!:fingers-crossed:
Without the details, people cannot help you!!!
From your statement, i beleive your's is rooted and CWM installed.
But let us know whether BL is unllocked?. I guess its not..
So first of all, the ROM you choose should be supporting BL unlocked phones.
let us know the firmware which you were earlier and the ROM which you tried to flash and the BOOTLOADER status.
NEO V | PAC MAN 18
Hit Thanks if my words lightened you hair
turn off device.
connect to pc on flash mode.
use flashtool to flash stock firmware.
at least thats what i do when my phone end up stuck in sony logo or bootloop.

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.

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

Given that you've unlocked your boot loader, you could try flashing one of the custom kernels from the development section. Some (if not all) will come with a recovery pre-installed so you shouldn't need to do anything else.
A couple of examples for ICS-based roms:
Transcendence Kernel
Sliding_XU
Try to install a custom kernel

Will give it a try

I get this error too, it's not a problem dalvik-cache is whiped (you should see updating apps next boot).
Didn't understand what the problem is if any beside this message.
