I'm currently running stock 2.3.3 from SE (through Rogers in Canada) with baseband 2.1.71 (rooted since it was released)
I planned on installing CM7 on my phone so I decided to unlock my bootloader so that it is ready when I eventually do so. I used FlashTool 0.6.7.0 to unlock it and it ran without any problems.
However I'm unable to turn Wi-Fi on. It only says "Error" and I'm not too sure what's wrong. I tried searching for answers but others with same issues were using custom ROMs while I'm still on stock.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this? If you're missing any information to be able to help me, please let me know and I will post them. (I have about a week to fix this as I'll be leaving on vacation and I'll need wifi working)
Thanks!
If you have really opened bootloader, for such device special kernels are necessary (stock or custom). Flash by FlashTool one of such ftf-kernels, then install with utility xRecovery the module wi-fi for this kernel.
The author of each ROM recommends, what kernels to use and gives the link on downloading.
just look for the kernel tht is meant for unlocked bootloader tht should work with stock rom n then flash kernel via flashtool n wifi modules file through xrecovery ur wifi will work
Which kernel u using? U prob need the relevant WiFi modules.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot tonight. I noticed it mentioned to install a custom kernel but seeing how everything else was fine I skipped that step. (ooops )
I had that "error" on my stock with zKernel.I dont know cause,but i fix it with reinstall zKernel..Try with zKernel for stock..

It's not ICS... I installed CM7.2. Found out FXP105 was missing a lib file for camera so I'll fix it later.
Thanks for all your help guys
FXP105 is 9.0 (ICS),thats FXP54 i think.

Hi
I have tried all day to install ICS on my Neo V, and I always end up in a boot loop (after the XPERIA logo it restarts). I have tried KA06 ICS and another Sony based ICS ROM.
I'm pretty new to this and I'm not sure what info you need so please ask away.
One thing I noticed is that whenever I clear the dalvic-cache it gives an error (not mounted or something i think?)
Thanks

Did you succesfully unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom kernel?
Thats what i did to install k6 on my neo v.
1º Flash .64 baseband.
2º Flash .62 baseband with flashtools(check exclude baseband).
3º Flash kernel.
4º Recovery wipe all + install k6.
5º Flash neo-v patch.
if i install .64 baseband im stuck on xperia boot image loops.

Sorry for my bad English...
@krabappel2548 It came unlocked and with a custom 2.3 rom when I bought it. I can install a stock 2.3 rom using flashtool fine.
@equlog Yes this time I didn't flash the 64 baseband from the KA thread and just left the stock one on. (I had .62 stock)
@wilsonchuchu I tried that but it didn't help
EDIT: Somehow it works now! I flashed the stock rom again and have been using it for a while (I rebooted a couple of times), then I flashed the non-oc kernel and this time I was able to clear the dalvic-cache. The rest worked fine and I've just booted in to the phone. I'm not sure why it worked this time because I've been doing this all day.
Now for KA7 lol
Thanks for your help

You're welcome I also updated Neo V patch
KA06 looks really good, just one problem so far (if you can call it that) the cosmic flow live wallpaper crashes every time I try to add it. The other live wallpapers work. Is this because the hardware acceleration isn't fully implemented yet?
Downloading KA07 now

@krabappel
Will u made a mod when sony release official ics? i hope ^^
I've just been reading some more about the fw/basebands and it looks like the .62 firmware does include the .64 baseband. Looking in about phone seems to confirm that. Am I right?
.62 f/w has .64 baseband
Thanks, so for anybody else having problems with the Neo V it seems the best way would be:
1: Flash .62 firmware
2: Flash KA kernel.
3: Boot into recovery, wipe all + install KA.
4: Flash neo-v patch.
Here is the stock firmware .62 as an update.zip (for installing with ClockWorkMod): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1518148

I think I may have found the battery life problem. Looking at the battery usage under settings, the gallery app shows by far the most battery usage. When I go to apps and find gallery I see it's running a service called picassa sync. Disabling picassa sync on all the Google accounts and then force closing the gallery app seems to fix the battery usage. Can some other people please try it and confirm if it works?
After doing this the cpu time and amount of the battery used by the gallery app does not get any higher, even if I make sure the gallery is running again and it moves down the list and the highest battery usage becomes the screen.

happened to me just now in KA12 ICS after I tried to remove the onscreen buttons
off topic
and about the widgets.. did anyone seems to have a problem with it? I have this battery widget after putting it up in homescreen, it doesn't move at all though the battery is decreasing, the widget stays the same. Same with player pro widget, you can press the next button fine but the music title and the album thumbnail stays.

<b>2012-03-23 updates on what further tests I've done:</b>

Please help me get my front cam working !
A few months ago the front Camera worked on my Neo but not anymore.
I cant really say if it just stopped working or had something to with flash of another rom.
I've rooted and flashed a number of phones before so i have some basics in this..
Currently running ICS on my Neo.
What I've tried to do to fix it.
1. Use SEUS but it said I have a modified android version and would let me restore...
2. WotanClient which restored it to .62 2.3.4. Failed at first attempt but succeeded at 2nd. >> front cam didnt work afterwards.
3. Tried other ICS roms and made several attempts.
The steps i took on installing another rom:
- installed fastboot
- connected phone
- run fastboot flash boot xxxx.img
- go into recovery
- wipe all, wipe cache, format system, dalvik and battery stats
- install xxx.zip
- up and running with non working front cam
Questions!:
1. How can I make a TOTAL restore of both bootloader, kernel, rom and everything to the stock firmware it got shipped with????? A step by step would be appreciated!
2. Any steps that I could have missed??
3. Anyone with similar problems?
4. How can I put it back to 100% stockrom to get warranty back and perhaps send on service?
FYI
The back camera also behaves strange on the ICS rom in skype/tango video call. It is miscolored.. On 2.3.4 it was ok.
Weird. Could this all be a firmware issue?
Can some provide all the tools i need to get it working? Or can I extract some logs or something that would help you find out if the front cam really is broken??
Where can I test the front cam or are there any appa to specifically test it in any way??
Desperate regards !

If it doesn't work after flashing official 2.3.4 firmware in flashtool with a full wipe, I'm out of ideas.
Does flashing with wotanclient really flash Everything?? Kernel, loader rom and wipes everything?? If the phone hasnt got a hardware fault something, it must be some step i did that sctewed something up.. Could try wotan again though but would rather have more people look into this before strarting flashing.
Afaik Wotan flashes / wipes everything and gets you back to clean Stock!
BUT, i already got problems wotan flashing / discovering the wrong phone type.
While i was trying out some different Kernels on my Phone (Mt11i SE NEO V), it seems that i picked a wrong Kernel and my Phone was showing me the Model Mt15i (SE NEO).
And even Wotanclient discovered a Mt15i...
Didn´t try the front camera at this point, but back cam was not working.
I tried to manually flash Mt11i Stock Rom/ Kernel (0.62) using flashtool.
Well flashtool did it´s work not completely, but far enough to reset the Model to Mt11i and Wotan flashed the correct Version afterwards.
My Hint, have a look at the Modellnumber in Settings, is it the right one ?

front camera solution
Hello and sorry for continuing this thread, but i have a query about the front camera of xperia neo v.
As all the above, I have the same problem with my front camera and I was wondering if I could somehow get the camera's apk file from gingerbread (the whole camera application - which is believed to be the last application compatible with the camera),would this solve the problem?
I am addressing aspecially to the developers .....
If anybody knows a way to solve this, please send me inbox a guideline.
Thanks in advance.
:good:
May be below the info can help you about the stock rom flash
1. Find the bootloader locker ftf (firmware file) file for Neo from the Internet (else inbox me I will find and will give you. I have that file but it's Neo V only). Once you flashed this file then Sony updater service will reconognize your device and do the update properly
2. Install Sony updater service
3. Connect your phone and choose the phone model then update to ICS
Hit thanks if it helped

Similar issue.
I have tried installing this several times to no avial.
I have installed the base 4.0.4 Stock rom - then DOOM kernel - Then installed the KA11 - Then installed Advanced ICS Kernel - then flashed the V5 kernel to go with the ROM... and all i get is the hanging on boot and then eventual reboot.
I have tried flashing it all through aurora - still nothing even on GB KERNEL - Previous kernel V3 everyone that I can think of.
The only way I can get KA11 to work is if I use Advanced ICS kernel. I do the full wipe and davlik... also fix permissions. I have almost tried everything. Does anyone have any ideas.
I am all out. I would love to try this rom... I have flashed a lot of units without issue... THEN THIS... lol
Cheers.
hey try this install ka11 then use xsx kernel it has oc also but up to 1.7 only, after 1 day or 1 night install the ka v5 kernel, works for me, at first i got bootloop with ka kernel but after using xsx for a night, i installed ka kernel v5 and got no bootloop. good luck
I got it working

I flashed STOCK - then installed Doom. Installed KA11 with Auroa - then cleared davlik again and cleared cache etc... I then flashed XSX and boom. All works. FINALLY. Don't know if i want to install KA kernel V5 now
Cheers mate.
I'm having force close to mostly every app I have, even when I'm setting a new wallpaper. I think KA11 has still more bugs, so I'm still waiting for an update/bug fix

This is the First ROM I ever installed on my Xperia Neo V. I wonder why I can't make any GSM calls? It kepts on making a busy tone. And the call doesn't push through? Help please. What I did is a installed CWM flashed this over my 4.0.6.A.62 Gingerbread 2.3.4. Flashed Suave v6 Kernel. Everything is working fine except I Can't make a GSM Call. Any response would be greatly appreciated. I may have missed flashing something like Baseband or anything im not really sure. I really need help for this matter. Thank you.
bad flash might be flash again & wipe all, ....means all
Flash stock .587 first. Then install kernel and flash rom.

Baseband problem or a bad flash.. just see you have the proper supported baseband for the flashed rom.. if you have it, then try flashing it again..
Sent from my Neo V using xda premium
I think is a problem with you baseband, but to be sure, put on your phone the latest firmware: 4.1.B.0.587
Test your phone to see if you can make GSM calls, then if all is ok, put the custom rom: Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0.3.
Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0.3 is based on .587 firmware.
