Neo V, dev section, sticky threads. Read them!
You are old enough here to know that.
Hey dude, I didn't post this thread before i search, I barely look in to Neo V DEV section. I have found many post that explained "how to unlock? ", but no"lock" thread !!!. Can you redirect me to the right section ?
for relock.use restore button with s1tool...i did that way.
if u read relock BL...u will find this :

Peeps, if you unlocked your phone with s1tool testpoint unlock solution you CAN relock your bootloader with same app s1tool by pressing restore.
Why you are so complicated, since most of you did it with s1tool?

Thanks for a quick reply, I didn't use S1tool to unlock my phone. I followed this method... !!!
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
How can i re-lock in this method ???
[Edit].. Sorry, the keyword i used for search is not correct, "relock" is right one. And now i am going forward to re-lock my phone. Get back here if any help needed.. Thanks

So dude, have you tried to check where I pointed you? I won't give you exact link.
There are not many sticky threads in dev section, and not more than 1 with unlocking BL.
And yes, it does contain information how to relock your BL.
Dude sorry, I was frustrated to find a quick solution to lock my phone. Otherwise i can't go for warranty service. Also the keyword i used was not correct. Any way i got it now, but don't go-away i will come back here if any help needed.
Thanks a lot
You used official method they know its been unlocked anyway. .....

Have the same problem...my phone was rooted on '42, nut now on 62....GRRRRRR...I want to get off from non-stop background process and boring app's from phone..S keep on looking fore doomslord easy root tool
If you are on rooted firmware .42 or .58 flash the zipfile in my signature over you rooted firmware what you now have only .42 or .58 and you have not do a clean install or wipe things just flash the zipfile and peeps you dont need unl bl to do this.
Cheers
I guess you have locked bootloader. You can try with RootXperia.zip method with CWM recovery for locked bootloaders.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20671610&postcount=14
I also updated to .62 fw but didn't tried this method, as I haven't got time.
Hmm, you can also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446308
Although you will need to flash old .42 or .58 version with flash tool.
Not sure how this one is preroot-ed but I guess same as above with RootXperia.zip, I mean with same files.
EDIT: Yeah,just realized that my first suggestion wont work, because you need root access to install cwm

You can try this ...... (I can't post the links because I'm new here. Who want to know please give me a PM and I'll show the links) . I follow first one and it worked for me. I have a Neo with .62 fw unlocked but the solution is good for locked phones too. Is a very easy tutorial and quick to apply it.
I ask moderators to not warm me again to move my post on other tread (like before). I try to find on this forum 2 days a solution to root my neo but I found only few ways complicated and not good for me. I couldn't post any question on some treads where peoples discuss about this because I'm new here and is a stupid rule what is forbidden this. If I'm new is not mean that I'm stupid too.
Thanks.

So if you found some new method, which isn't already explained in (at least) 2 threads, tell us.
For locked BL you have this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
For unlocked BL: simply get kernel which have recovery, and flash rootxperia.zip

Does anyone know the easiest way to root (no downgrade, etc.) for WT19i with android ics 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)?

Either unlock bootloader and install custom kernel or downgrade.

How this works?
With downgrading
Sent from Bregenz, Austria
You must first have your bootloader unlocked. Search the forum for ways on how to, there are (2) current methods being used to. When your bootloader is unlocked, download either expeacer's extended kernel or krsh v 3.0( check my sig ) and install it via fastboot mode. By following this you accomplish the ff: root your phone, install cwm and busybox. Btw, someguyfromhell has made a tut for this. Check it out.

P2P, are you on the wrong forum? This is called community bro, no one leeches from one another. Information gathered from one's experience and from our experts are being shared in here for free and so is with whatever MOD you find in here. When someone post a question, try to answer it with what you know otherwise read and observe. Know the forum rules, respect community members and acknowledge post you found helpful by a simple thanks. It's free afterall.
Downgrading is the best option, even for noobs like you and me
I did it on my xperia mini pro and it worked like a charm, just follow the instructions, it's really easy once you've read them carefully

No, so far there is no known way to root ICS 4.0.4. Downgrading is the only way if you want to keep your bootloader locked.
this is my problem too, i dont want to unlocked my BL, i just want to root it.
what firmware should be download?

how bootloader can be unlocked of wt19i ics build 4.1.B.0.431 ?
Bootloader unlock voids warranty! But Check out at
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Better to root is downgrading! You can unroot and keep your warranty...
Second method for Bootloader unlocking is testpoint method, just search in General section.

I prefer to keep my DRM keys and bravia engine. I do not recommended unlocking it as it is usually the cause of hard brick if you do not follow certain steps correctly.
