[Q] What went wrong? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hey guys, I have a stock Xperia Neo on 2.3.4 (.62). I wanted to switch over to Cyanogenmod 9.0 RC1. So I followed this how-to: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Neo:_Full_Update_Guide
I managed to unlock the bootloader. It went great until step 6 of the second part 'Flashing Cyanogen'. There I couldn't flash the boot.img via a command prompt, so I did it with Flashtool, what succeeded. But then, when I wanted to reboot, it didn't. I only got a black screen.
Mind you, I haven't done anything before with my phone. So step 7 says that you should reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery, but I have never installed something like that. I thought it comes with Cyanogen or something. Maybe this is the problem? Or else, maybe you guys know?
Luckily I had made a backup of my firmware so I'm back in stock 2.3.4 and everything is working, but I still want to go to Cyanogenmod 9. Please help

I've updated to 4.0.4 with an unlocked bootloader and with root.. and still it doesn't boot after flashing the Cyanogenmod 9 kernel! What am I doing wrong :S

Which other kernel is compatible with CM 9? I've read that you can only use theirs (beginner here).

The error is probably with the rom and not with the kernel, because with the stock rom works perfectly...
After flashing this kernel my neo v gets rooted on .62 stock ROM ....
but will this rooted ROM work if i change the kernel to something else like nightelf stock kernel .... ???
or have anyone tested it yet ???
let me know ....

Root privileges are integrated in this kernel.So you will not stay rooted almost for sure, if you flash another kernel which is not prerooted...

You will be able to update normally to ICS using PC companion, but to be ablolutely sure, you better relock your bootloader before the update...
@bbooff: few days ago I flashed ICS beta from sony page, and I used your kernel for hot boot just so I can install zip with superuser stuff.
Today I flashed stock .62fw, and wanted to hot boot with your kernel, but no luck, I needed to flash it in order to boot into CWM.
You got any idea why id did cooperate on ICS and not on clean .62
Also I couldn't do factory reset while I was using your kernel. I guess that is kinda normal as it's not stock kernel, but still I thought it should work

I have no idea!
The opposite is what should had happened.
I think that if you reinstall 0.62 (using flashtool and not wotan) and then my kernel, everything will be o.k.
If you install a custom kernel, you can do a factory reset through the cwm menu.

Actually I did used flashtool.
After I flash your kernel I can enter cwm. problem is if I try hot boot it.
and about factory reset, I know we can do it via recovery, but is it normal that we can't do it from phone?

What exactly do you mean by "hot boot"?

fastboot boot boot.img
it allows you to boot with kernel without flashing it.
your kernel is very good.... simple and easy... helped me restore my phone back...
But now i am facing one more problem...
whenever I try to install any other kernel through fastboot, that kernel does not work; instead your kernel starts booting up...
Can you please throw some light on it?
Thnx

[Q] Help me the Custom rom don't work on my Neo.

I have my Neo from a few months and I'm so proud of it. But, in the lasts week, I'm excited to receive the ICS update, so I can't wait and I tried to flash some custom rom on my NEO. First of all I have the .42 firmware stock with root and CWM installed with bootloader locked.
Before i tried to flash a custom Rom, I have unlocked the bootloader. And everything going well, but I try to flash 2 different Custom Rom both with the same result: in the reboot after the flash the NEo is stucked on the Sony Ericsson boot logo animation for an indefinite time, and i don't do nothing except to unplug the battery. So i return to the stock rom using flashtool.
But I really want to tried this custom rom based on ICS, anyone can hellp me?

i think the problem is causing because ur r flashing ICS custom rom directly on GB... flash stock ICS ftf file using flashtool, flash any custom kernel in fastboot mode using flashtool suitable for the ROM u want to flash (custom kernels has built in CWM), then goto CWM, wipe everything, flash the ROM, done... now that should work..
goto Settings > about phone > baseband to check the baseband's version
Guys a year passed by since that question was asked !

What going wrong on the flashing with custom rom, we have root, bootloader unlocked, the flash of the kernel is smooth so the flash of the rom (CWM don't report any error), but something going wrong, because after i reboot the phone after i flash the rom the NEO is stucked with loading Sony boot logo for very long time (I left my phone in this status for almost 30 min, and nothing happened). So Anyone can help us? Or is just our phone?

the kernel included in the KA05 Ice Cream release ( i follow step to step the instructions in that thread) and the kernel MT15i_Neo_ICS_Kernel_V1 which is write in the thread for the flash of AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA FINAL.

OK.
1st. Any roms starting max 5 minutes.!!!
If dont...then is problem in "kernel" or rom itself.
Something is wrong in updater script or build.prop
Or maybe something is wrong in my recovery? I use CWM, i install it with following the instructions in this thread

WIPE the stuff(system,data,cache,dalvik cache, whatever its written in ROM's first post) before flashing new ROM in zip.
In this case, most likely you didn't wipe/format system partition.
I follow the tips of kormatoes and integrated with the instrucions od madfish and everything is going fine, but there were some problems with that kernel, you kormatoes suggest me, so I tried to opt for the MT15i kernel, and its worked too.
Now I'm trying to install the KA05 Ice Cream Sony ROM, they say its the best custom rom based on ICS for Sony Xperia NEo. If something going wrong can you be at my side?

I tried your case many time...try just wipe data/factory reset

Sorry for my bad English...
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.

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 had similar problems when I put a rom with an inappropriate kernel. But for this you must have the bootloader open

[Q] Xperia Neo V not booting

Hi guys! I'm in panic, I bought my phone last weak, here in brazil they are too expensive and after flashing a custom kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708532) and now, when i turn on my phone, appers the sony logo, then that sony ericson logo, after that it auto reboot and goes like this forever, can someone help me?
try flash another kernel..did u on ics or gb?? that kernel for ics only..
Solution
relock your bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324703) then that run the SUS ( Sony Update Service), Done! ( this can be helpful: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/34946)
@talhah sabri
I think that was my problem, I don't know the difference between then, can you explain me? Sorry I'm too noob
if u on gb flash kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468043

btw, there was no need to mess so much, simply flashing GB kernel would fix problem.
He used ICS kernel on GB fw.
