Ok , first , unlock your bootloader here
Its kinda complex so read well and do everything right , and make sure u back up ur things (sms , contacts , apps) cuz they will be deleted , ur sd card (photos , music , etc) wont be deleted
When u finish , downlaod this and install it
After installing go to the directory u installed flashtool in , and u will see a drivers folder , open it and install flashtool-drivers.exe and choose xperia S when asked , dont choose anything else
Download this file and extract it to ur desktop
Downlaod this kernel here and put it in Fastboot folder (that u extracted)
Now you have everything , press shift+right click on the fastboot floder u extracted to the desktop , and choose open cmd windows here
Now copy this to the cmd windows [ fastboot flash boot ics14.elf ] , u should get this on your cmd windows (waiting for device)
Now shut down your phone . unplug it
And hold the volume up button , and while your holding it , plug it with the usb cabel , and keep holding volume up till u the led lights blue
Your phone will be rooted an you will have cwm 6 (latest)
Enjoy
If u want , u can check out my rom here
Hope i helped , if i did press the THANKS button
One problem...i have the unlockable bootloader:
2. In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
It sais no for my phone so can I unlock it any special unlock for that!!?Although i dont understand this i am not locked on any network,the O2 unlocked it for me and now it says i am not allowed to unlock the bootloader...how is that!!!??

hi i am a new user of xperia neo.....in my device bootloader unlock allowed says NO...now can anyone help me to unlock my bootloader ???? plzz someone help me ,which method i can use to unlock bootloader....and if my bootloader is lock can i use recovery mode on my device ????
Please read the stickies before posting.
Boot loader unlock no= no fast boot so you cannot flash custom kernels, but you can flash all stock ones including ics.
You can still root and install cwm, this will allow you to flash any rom for locked boot loader.

Actually no you can just read the stickies, you are going to murder your phone, you cannot downgrade to 2.3.3 you'll get the 0% battery issue.
Why people start messing with things without research I don't know.

*#06# is the international code to get your phones imei.
How did you get information about your bootloader?
To check on stock sony firmware if your phones bootloader can be unlocked open your dial pad and enter *#*#service#*#*
Scroll through the service menu and look at bootloader status.

Hi all,
This forum does not look so active as the one i came from (Xperia X10) so i'm forced to open this thread in hopes that more people will see it and be able to help me...
So the situation is very simple:
1. I am on newest ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 - which apparently can not be rooted yet
2. My bootloader is locked and can not be unlocked (it says bootloader unlockable: NO (and i can not continue the process))
If there are no solutions currently for my situation then i would just like to ask:
3. Is there some way that i can get some options when i open the notification bar? like wifi/screen rotation etc. It is what i miss the most on this stock ICS rom.
MY IDEA for a solution to:
1. is it safe/possible to use flashtool and flash for example LT22i - 6.1.B.0.544 -Central Europe - ICS? Then root and install CWM and then custom rom for locked BL
2. i have no idea but apparently the official repair shop can change the NO to YES - if so, can i do it somehow myself?
3. no idea...
Any comment would be appreciated, even if nothing can be done, please someone who has knowledge about this...help

Flashing is also safe with locked bootloader. I've been flashing like crazy since I rooted my phone 4 days ago.
Just do backups and follow instructions carefully.
Hey guys,
I wanted to share a great method to harmlessly unlock the bootloader on Neo and Neo V which works on every device (before and after 12w14). Simply follow this steps:
EDIT: Use it over GB firmware, or flash ICS kernel after using this fix if You are on ICS and want to keep it, otherwise You will get bootloops!!!!
1. download this program:
http://www.2shared.com/file/xfkXTzdB/ZeroPercentFixTool.html
2. Register Your IMEI number on this site:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
and let the code be sent to You by Sony Ericsson to your e-mail.
3. Then open zeropercentfixtool.exe (remember to have all the drivers installed)
4. Copy the code into the program, click fix it and connect the phoine in fastboot mode.
5 After that it is better to desconnect the phone, and flash ICS kernel, than all should work perfectly
Voilla, done
You finally have unlocked the newer versions of xperia Neo/Neo V ))
PS. nevermind that the program says zero percent fix tool, it unlocks the bootloader as well. Tried on my Neo V 12w9 and 12w31 and it's working like a charm
Hope You enjoy it !

If BL unlocked officially, warrenty is VOID, no more official updates and DRM is lost.
U lose DRM for ever if BL is unlocked by official method. TrackID app willnot work.. this is what i have in my knowledge.
I never minded in unlocking it.. since i dont use it.
If you know what you are doing, then no problem at all.. so i unlocked BL officially.(no option,, manufactured 12w14)
If unlocked by unofficial method, then u can relock it.. search in the forum to gain more knowledge..
What would happen if I unlock my bootloader officially and mess while flashing ROM? I know about phones being brick, but have no idea of what is a soft brick and a hard brick. Someone to enlighten me?

You're right
Sorry for no responses, I was away.
To clear this, You need flastool and fastboot drivers, they can be found in flashtool folder for example. For fastboot drivers, You can try to download them (use google or XDA search) connect Your phone in fastboot mode( blue LED) and manually point them for windows to install.
As for ics kernel, the best way is to complete this fix in fasboot, reconnect the cable, then flash ics kernel and that's all

Cheers, ill try that
I can't do that, reason being is that when i type in the number to see if bootloader is unlockable it says no, is there any other way that could unlock it, or just install the rom?
sorry to hijack the thread - im a little way ahead - bootloader unlock - but cant get a root hack to work....i did follow one that said to download a .js file - but in the readme it says to run a "runme.bat" file which doesnt exist....so, im stuck as well - mines a 2011 version with mtp - i did try the flashtool but it looks like that only works with pre mtp devices....
Just to add - ive found the thread for rooting. download the file with the runme.bat in there. Ran that as admin and it all gives the appearance of working, reboots the phone - command prompt says everything has worked but theres no superuser icon installed so i guess it hasnt.

There is alot of threads! It's really easy and it can work for locked downloader! There is a sticky on the forum for it where you can get the firmware needed.
Just download the ICS. B.54 ftf
And the C.1.0 Ftf once flashed the B.54
Flash the C.0.1 and root the reflash the B.54 but only the firmware and don't do the wipes! There is a more explaind method on the sticky
