you are not noob, you are just lazy
have you even bother to check neo v development section?
or even in this section, where you posted, you have similar thread, "noobs flashing custom and stock kernels, custom and stock roms"

If u wanna unlock bootloader. Just unlock using official method. Just go Sony website. They will teach u step by step

They are pretty comprehensive and you should get it easily..
Note:
1. You need to unlock boot loader before you start rooting
2. There is one more easy method of rooting by the DooMlord. But m not sure it will work in your firmware.. coz i had the same firmware and it din work for me...
You can root without unlocking bootloader, I suggest searching as you will find your answers

Can't rooting be device specific ?

Rooting for unlocked bootloaders is available but not for locked bootloaders !

Right now it's the only way for locked bl.......
Really restore a backup and flash a kernel is hardly a taxing method, if that's too much effort why not just wait.........

[Q] how to install kernel & custom rom neo V

Hi,
i am a newbie here. with help of the forum, i was able to root my xperia neo V running stock ICS. now that i want to try custom ROM - Polish Blood...
the topic for the same only gives an overview...
can somebody please guide me about going further with this...
i have downloaded the required files from the links on the topic
my neo V is rooted with a locked boot loader and have installed a few apps recommended (Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox & ROM Manager)
do i need to install a kernel (if yes, which) or can i just install the ROM?
any help is appreciated
First you gotta unlock your bootloader to go further.

what would you suggest, should i go with the official Sony method or is there some other way around. i don't want to lose the warranty, just in case something goes wrong. since, you are using a neo V and even the ROM... what are the major positives & negatives?
thanks
Sorry,is not the right post, but how is the performance of the phone after the ICS update? Please send your answer at [email protected]. Thanks in advance!

hi,
after updating to ICS (the first release) it was good only after i got root,
thanks to the developers here at xda
but i would still like to go with the Polish Blood ROM to enjoy the free memory and speedier, responsive games & applications (hope so)
hi,
my phone doesn't boot beyond the SONY logo now
please help......
omg
all that you can do now is to reflash your phone with a generic firmware using flashtool. Such threads are available in xda forum. look for it follow it. hope it works.

I remember how I thought my phone was bricked
You can do it easily now. Just take someone's help for test point (if you choose) or official is easy.

Hehe
Yea a year after even I would feel childish in asking such questions
Btw yea things have become much more easy and reliable...
And I'm considering official as I am not finding any guy who can do the unofficial unlock for me...
Wish I could have met you or communicated with you through some other medium like chats.... So that I don't brick by doin unlock by unofficial method... I know it sounds noobish but can't really help it.... As this being my 1st droid... Don't wanna ruin it and then spend money....

If you rooted your .431, you don't need downgrade to gb, run step III from your rooted 431 and follow instruction ( in step 4 flash 587 ftf instead 431, you can fimd ,587 ftf for your phone in this forum) and ( recommend to use flashtool to flash your 587 rom ft f)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898236
Here you should check this thread up. Though I was hoping someone can explain the flashing kernel part to me.
I've tried to update to .587 OTA and got "could not install" error after reboot =/

WRONG SECTION! Go to questions and answers section!
You can install any rom that says [both BL].
Wrong section, btw.
Visit development subforum, then search and read to your heart content. Most of the Rom thread stated clearly in thread title if it support locked bootloader or not.
Holy **** this is dev subforum
