Hi, i have a Xperia Neo with a 2.3.4 rom. It looks like sony have released the android 4.0 for its devices.
Does the Xperia Neo have this option, it's official? What are the advantages of 4.0 over 2.3.4?
And are all 2.3.4 apps and games compatible with 4.0?
Thanks!
Were you in coma or something? :/

Hahahaa..... Coma!!!!!. :-D
Actually android 4.0.4 is released now. More functions than older android. But it consumes more RAM,
Everything is compatible with this version,

actually, i was so happy with my 2.3.4 that i didn't looked up for an update. But since 4.04 is all good i think i'll try it. I read that some HD games doesn't work so well in this update is it true??
And is necessary to change my kernel too?
Thanks for the answers
Yes, 4.0.4 being the latest

I flashed the official 4.0.4 with an old flashtool (x10, can't install the new one) and now i'm stuck because it isn't rooted, and i can't enter cwm recovery mode to install a custom rooted rom.
How can i enable recovery mode?

Hi,
If your phone works , you can use these Guides for Rooting, ... etc :
Rooting ICS 4.0.4 (both Locked & Unlocked Bootloaders) :

Installing CWM with Locked Bootloader :

if your phone doesn't work properly (Reboot Loop , ...etc) , Download SUS & Repair your phone (you probably get ICS 4.0.4) and then use the guides for rooting ,...etc:
SUS (Sony Update Service ) : http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Good Luck!
The phone works. The problem is that i can't open falshtool...
So i need root to flash CWM and i need CWM to flash a rooted rom.
The link you posted requires CWM, right? How can i get CWM without root and without flashtool?

I don't think you could have CWM without root. The Link that i post , needs working Flashtool to root and after that you can install CWM.
Guys ...if u r in unlocked boot loader just install a custom kernel like night elf which have root and cwm within it...then u can install any custom rom .....I used this trick many times ...they it.....use fast boot to install kernel ..

Just download compatible night elf or other kernel. Flash it in fastboot and reboot.
There is nothing wrong with ROM no need to keep wiping it.
I'm not sure which kernel my neo is having as i have tried various things in last one month. How do i find it out (Sorry i'm a beginner here)

Generally it is in about phone in settings but as you are not able to load up any ROM i suggest just flash one to make sure you are on right kernel.

hi ankurvij,
by which method you root your neo v if it is DoomLoRD's toolkit then it roots your phone with locked bootloader
to my knowledge Team Xperia SE.TWEAKED V1 is for unlocked bootloader only correct me if i'm wrong
you won't install custom ROM but can install Stock ROM
i've tried the same thing after rooting DoomLoRD's toolkit same error as yours
now on stock firmware from emannxperia with some tweaks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544273
I had similar problems when I put a rom with an inappropriate kernel. But for this you must have the bootloader open
Yes, i used DoomLoRD's toolkit .. i will give a try to ICS Now
Thanks for ur reply..

Hi all!
(Well, I have to start with that I'm hungarian so sorry for my english.)
I dont know if anyone has already mentioned this problem in other threads but i didnt find any. So my problem is that I rooted my phone with changing kernel (neoV 4.0.3) after that rooting and after rooting upgrading the latest mini pro kernel in my phone (4.1.B.0.587).
There was no problem i have managed to root my phone. After that i downloaded the cwm auto installer app from play and installed cwm. After that i installed two apps with cwm, exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705352&highlight=root
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695048
After these steps i realised that my girlfriend wanted to call me but it was a missed call so i tried to call her back. And HERE IS THE PROBLEM: when i touch on the button with the green phone icon before starting to call anyone my phone collapsed and reboots itself.
Well i dont know if the problem comes from the root (maybe i did something wrong but got good result) or from the 2 apps installed with cwm and there i made some mistakes :/ well i dont know i think i did everything well but as i said i really dont know what the problem is.
Please help me!! Thank you in advance
Post the links of those two apps properly... Unable to click them directly
And as you said your phone is NEO V or Mini Pro
then why did you upload the "neo v" "latest mini pro kernel" :what::sly::banghead:
Specify your phone and kernel properly or upload a screenshot
And if you have you have installed mini pro kernel in neo V or vice versa
Then flash stock firmware via flashtool
Sent from my Smultron running CM10
I have mini pro(sk17i), but as you know mini pros dont have 4.0.3 kernel and rom cause the first ics was the 4.0.4 so i just chose a random 4.0.3 kernel (neov) and rooted that one and after the root i put the original sk17i kernel 4.1.B.0.587 back. and after that i got root permissions in my 4.0.4 ics phone with its official latest kernel. Thats all. I just followed the steps to root. and now you can see the apps' urls

I think you installed an inappropriate kernel for your device...
Download the stock firmware for your device... Flash it via Flashtool
Then again unlock your bootloader
And this time install any supported kernel like Kamarush v3 or Kernel Panic... I mean any prerooted kernel... And after you get root access just switch to latest firmware... And .587 is whole new stock firmware Not kernel...

Well, I managed to root my phone and now i can call anyone without reboot but i havent installed those 2 apps yet. im afraid of having this problem because of those apps :/
but i also havent tried to install that app which you Predator offered me :/ im afraid of having another problem :/ and i also dont know if my phone (sk17i) is capable of running walkman player app or such as walkman player :/ pls correct me if im right or not
Hmmmmm.....
1.flash stock firmware into your XMP...
2.unlock the bootloader...
3.flash any custom kernel that have pre-rooted and CWM....
4.problem solved....
Btw, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't flashing other kernel (neo v in your case) is proof that your phone bootloader is already unlock????
My bootloader is not unlocked because im having a vodafone phone so not an unlocked phone :/ And i heard that unlocking a locked phone is very difficult and dangerous :/ ....
Hi,
I recently tried to root .62 LWW stock rom.
My unsuccessful attempts are recorded here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068238
Again today i tried to do it 2 times. Once with Flashtools and other time with SEUS (though it says i have the latest version on .58!).
I have unlocked BL so doing OTA on .58 rooted version = stops my device from turning on.
So i am just requesting whether someone could upload a rooted .62 stock rom for LWW version? IAlso i have tried rooting on my own using Knight45's article but it failed to boot :/
So now my only option is to get a .62 rooted rom and tweak it slowly on my own
It would be much appreciated for your support in this = )
Thank you
Download A Stock ROM (Check Stickies Thread) then Flash a Custom Kernel (You Had Unlocked your bootloader right? ) so you can get Root

Hi,
Little confused as this hasn't been mentioned before.
Are you saying, for me to get root on .62, all i have to do is:
Flash a stockof .62 rom to my LWW
Flash a custom Kernel i.e. rage kernal 3.0 or x-kernal?
and i shall have root?
And also, yes i have unlocked bootloader.
Custom kernal i was looking to use (will most likely use rage kernal):

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped
