Hi, I need help to flash cm9 on a xperia neo.
My friend ask me to flash cm9 in his phone, but I never had a sony ericsson phone, so not what 'i know is helping.
He have a xperia neo build 4.0.2.A.0.42 and the bootloader is locked and don't allow the conventional unlocking method.
I searched everywhere but i couldn't find any way to solve this problem.
Thanks...
If the phone does not allows normal bootloader unlock you should do it via s1tool and testpoint method, but this is done at your own risk, this can brick the phone

Yeah, I read about that and I was trying to avoid it since it's not my phone... My friend will have to be happy with a rooted phone only.
But a thing I found strange about the root is that when I uninstall an app with titanium backup it returns after reboot, is there some kind of block in sony ericsson phones?

Never happened to me, titanium backup should ask to unnistal the app and then to remove the system and that should be it.

First make sure that you have all the fastboot drivers installed in your pc!
Switch off your device and while pressing the menu key connect the usb cable to it! You'll notice the led turns blue!
To make sure that your device is connected properly.. Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.

My SONY XPERIA S Complete DEAD
My xperia S is not going in flash or fastboot mode. Even after pressing vl+ & USB connection. I did it lot of times previously, but is not responding now. It'll just show red led always. PLease tell me the wayarounds other than flashtool recovery or cyanogens. Or atleast how to boot it once?
If I press Vol+ and Power, it responds with 1vibration & 3vibrations. Can I say bootloader has got damaged if it responds with vibrations?
PLease suggest. I am too much frustrated because of dead phone now.

Can you help me?
Hi~ I'm use xperia SL. and MY SL broken bootloader.If you help me, I donate for you.
Hey I think my xperia x10a has the bootloader broken as well, since I lost 3g signal, the 3g was working before I flashed it (using Flastool 0.9.18.6) to upgrade from 2.1.update-1 to 2.3.3 (by the way It's used phone imei changed by medusa box I think), as today I don't know how to enable the 3g again, Does anyone know how to get the xperia x10a's 3g again?
I was trying to root the phone before unlocking bootloader... yes i know bootloader should be unlocked first (Thats how i did my nexus s). So heres the problem, when i used flashtool (from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808) to root the phone and i finished the kernel downgrade, and since it said to unplug the phone than, power on the device, and once you feel a vibration, immediately plug in the cable, i did and its just not doing anything now, the root button isnt popping up. Than i accidently closed flashtool and now the phone is stuck on the sony ericsson boot screen.
I was planning to do this: Unlock Bootloader -> Root Phone -> Flash desired rom/kernel
I dont need anything in my phone so i dont care if everything in there is lost. So if anyone knows what to do at this point please try and help me. Thanks in advance

Okay so you have installed all the drivers for flashtool and PC Companion?
What have you done with your phone, on which software version have you been, is your bootloader locked/unlocked, are you on a custom rom/kernel?
Please give us more information and we can maybe help you
Hi George,
It looks like your phone has gone into a factory mode as said in this thread.
You might want to send it to warranty repair if your bootloader is still intact and your warranty period isn't over or you might want to try different key combinations to wake your phone from coma (that's what it looks like) . If you manage to boot your device using different key combinations then immediately put your phone in A/C charging. After full charge do a factory reset and repair your phone using seus (this might work but not guaranteed) . For more info google "qhsusb_dload xperia" and also read the above mentioned link carefully.
Good luck!
Press thanks if I helped you.

Is this a known issue/problem with Xperia Active?
Now I'm worry, cause I just bought this phone last month

This issue is a rarity. It is generally a device fault or happens when you play with the device's bootloader in the way you shouldn't. I've read somewhere it means that there is no bootloader in the device and the phone is waiting to be flashed with a bootloader and that's why it's called the factory mode. ( I can't verify my sources on this ).

yep, i agree with u, i dont have such problem since march i bought my xperia active, n its been flashed, unlock n relock bootloader so many times but its fine
Hi,
I have a xperia mini pro (sk17i) and i was trying to root it. It had Android 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587) on it.
I was following this guide: (http : // talk.sonymobile . com/thread/41119 ) -> remove spaces
since the xperia mini pro wasn't amongs the devices, i used the one they recommanded: the one for MT11i (xperia Neo)
i ran flashtool, and after completion, it said it was succesfully done,
but it kept rebooting.
So i tried to continue, but then they refer to a site from this website, and there it said me to flash to an other kernel.
I tried to do this, but when i want to flash, i need to hold down the volume down key when connecting through USB. The only problem is, this ain't working anymore. (I think it has something to do with the wrong kernel, cause the xperia Neo has the back-button to be pressed when connecting to flashtool).
I tried the sony ericsson pc companion, to restore my phone, but this asks me to hold down the volume key too. Whenever i do this, it doesn't rly do anything.
My phone just keeps restarting (the little led light in the top left corner is red when it is on, and so is the touchsensitive (white) back-button).
Is there anything i can do?
I tried to look up on this site and google, but always the solution is to reflash, but i can't since the volume down key trick does not work.
I have tried tons of things, but nothing seems to work. Especialy cause the device keeps restarting.
I rly would appreciate any help!
Since volume down key is not working so try to first unlocking bootloader(if possible luckily) and then flash the official 4.1.b.0.587 as it requires fastboot so it needs vol-up key not down...
Hope it works,
Best of luck

thx in advance!

He said, that he tried to install another kernel. Unsigned kernels require bootloader to be unlocked, else they cannot be installed.

He didn't installed any unsigned kernel he just installed the neo kernel which doesn't require the bootloader to be unlocked. I rooted my phone the same way and my bl was locked then. And he mentioned that he tried to install other kernel but he couldn't flash it due to problem with vol-down key.....
so yesterday i was on Facebook with mu xperia st25 and it just crashed and after that I tried to switch it on and Sony logo appears then Xperia logo appears than screen flashes white for like a second and it starts to show the same ritual and it won't stop before I take the battery out. so please help me, I have almost lost hope, I don't know what to do next so please help me out and I have tried holding the power button and volume down/up and the same thing happens. And I will already say thank you

No we don't, he was just asking and provide the option for locked and unlocked bootloader.
It is still repairable! Don't worry. Just install the ROM.
I just wanted to say thank you all so much, I had almost lost hope but i got it fixed, I downloaded Sony pc companion and then did the repair thingy and at first my phone disconnected from the computer but on the third attempt it worked, so thank you again and also I did not lose any of my pictures or music, just contacts.
