Repair with Sony Update Service (SUS).
Bear in mind that it installs ICS 4.0.4 AND you might have problems if the bootloader is unlocked!
Also, here's a Q&A thread for questions.
Better just follow the Flashtool guide and flash the ROM you want:

HY i have a problem and i hope that you guys help me. y want to repair my phone via SEUS and it say that i have the latest software and there is no repair buton..i cannot use flash tool it won´t start on my pc.is there another metod to flash a firmware like a windows ms-dos filelike .bat? srry for my english
Hi,
this may solve your problem.
try to install Sony Ericsson PC Companion. If i ever need to repair without flashtool for some reason, it tells me that i have the latest software available but the repair option is still available.
heres a link for you:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...oads/subject/pccompanion/1.689743?cc=gb&lc=en
p.s. im pretty sure this has been asked before...
You can also flash to an older firmware than what you currently have on the device then use SEUS to repair.
So this is my friends phone, he received a notification that there was a newer android version available and if he wanted to update. I had advised him not to update this this way (OTA?), but he couldn't resist.
It had stock 2.3.3, and it was unlocked following Alejandrissimo's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254416)
Now it does not boot up, nothing happens if you press the on/off button
What do you advise me to do?
If possible I would like to put S.E.Tweaked rom v 0.7 and Inteks kernel v15 inside
So far I found this, should I follow first or second guide? Any other ideas?

Here is something to repair your bootloader after a FOTA update and phone iIn the package you have flash tool and the files you need.
Just unzip to a folder and then use flash tools.
The needed files are in the right folders.
After this you should have your phone fully back for a fresh rom install.
Use wotanserver to flash a full custom rom of your choice.

There´s not much to explain, this .sin and ftf files repair the damage bootloader and the trim area.
If you ´re unable to start phone after a fota update with unlocked bootloader.
Just plug the phone and connect it pressing back button in your xperia neo and press flash on the flashtool. And voila you have you phone live again.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254409
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.

[Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones
This will fix your unlocked Phones which got bricked through OTA update and are dead now!
Please download this package:
http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1
Let it extract to a destination of your choice.
After that run Flashtool.exe.
Now hit the button FLASH and select the package which is included.
Follow the steps and connect your phone in flashmode. This is the same mode Pc Companion and SEUS uses to flash your phone to newer firmare (Indicated by green LED), if you got BLUE LED you are in the wrong mode!
Flashtool will now detect your phone and start the repair.
After all is done your phone should be up and running again.
ADVICE:
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA'S ! If you receive a OTA message just decline, if you accept it you will end with a brick AGAIN! So please do NOT accept them until SonyEricsson provides a OTA solution for unlocked Bootloaders!
Best Regards

I spent three days without my Xperia Neo, I thought there was no solution.
The green LED blinked, did not carry the wall charger, neither FlashTool, CWM worked ...
All this after OTA update from .42 (never more)
You saved my phone!
Thank you!

Can u pls tell me what is the most suitable & fast rom for this phone? I also want to integrate sd card to internal memory and use a portion of sd card as ram, is this possible?

Every rom is suitable and fast depending on user as to what he s happy with.. There can be no suggestions on this.
Integrate sd card to internal memory yes it is possible. Partition ur sd card to ur desired size in ext2/3/4 or fat32 format and use cronmods script. Google it. You'll find easily.
Integrate portion of sd card to ram yes thats possible too. Its known as swap partition. Use ram expander app from playstore. Keep in mind virtual ram is 10x slower than actual ram. Google it for more info.

Does the computer even read if a device is connected ?
I like phones.
You can always fix that with SEUS or PC Companion or Flash tool.
Just remember to backup first before flashing any roms.
Just download pc companion, search for the repair option, not sure whether it is in support zone. It should restore ur phone to it's original rom.
Had the same issue with my xperia x10 mini pro.
-----------------------
select support zone, select software update, select repair, make sure it's ur phone they detect not some other.

Just to confirm, not recognize or not detected.
Before u try this, run by someone more experience first( i will not be liable for any brick )
1. But could it be the kernel issue, if yes, can the OP not flash a new kernel using flashtool?
2. Then just do the steps of flashing a new rom?
I am not sure as i dun have my xperia with me, it's with my missus.
Bring this to ur phone q&a section.
Moved to Xperia X10 Mini Q&A :good:
I just requested that a mod move this thread to the Xperia x10 Q&A forum, hopefully someone there can help you better, although one of the RC's I brought this up to suggested that pc companion, but since you tried it then you might need to send it for repair sony ericsson update center. Does PC companion require any kind of drivers on your PC? Tried different USB ports?
