Hello,
lately I updated my SE xperia neo from android 2.3.4 via "update service" program and now I have now something like that:
Model: MT15i
Version of Android system: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Compilation: 4.1.B.0.431
and here my problems just appearing. Tried to follow this thread:

but I do not see .ftf file to my phone. Idk also what to do to check if my bootloader is locked or unlocked (guess that after official flash process it's locked - but not sure). Googled over few days and I can't find anything simple to root my device.
Thank you
You even found a thread and you followed it, and you still create new thread for your question instead of asking in the thread you follow. I don't understand that.
Anw, all you need is in that thread. ftf, instructions, kernel for root process, it's all there.. just read first post.
p.s. if you updated via update service and you never unlocked your BL(by using test point), then it's locked.
p.p.s. this kind of questions should go to Q&A section.
The problem is that, I can't find .ftf file to mt15i.

Hi everyone,
I have a X10 since september, but I'm kind of a noob with all this X10-modding thing. Please move my topic if it's not in the right place. I have a couple of questions, and sometimes you're gonna think that I'm an idiot, but I prefer to be sure of what I have to do exactly before I do anything.
So my X10 is branded with a Orange France rom, which is still in firmware 2.0.A.0.504 (baseband 2.0.46). I don't have multitouch at all and it's laggy.
First, I read this topic about backing up my current rom (in case I have a problem and/or I have to send it to repair). I have downloaded Bin4ry's flash tool and seen that I can use it to extract .sin files from FILE_XXXXXXX files. Is this method still ok ? The link to the jerpelea SIN Reconstructor is dead, so is it possible to reconstruct the ftf file with Bin4ry's flash tool ? If yes, what files do I have to put in the bundle (I don't obtain the same files as in the tutorial) ? And when I get the ftf file, in order to get my phone back to its original firmware, do I simply have to add the ftf file in the firmware folder and then flash ?
I also have another set of questions ^^. For example, if I root my X10, then I modify the build.prop file (as described in this topic) to match a generic code, and then repair my phone through PC Companion / SEUS, will I get a generic rom ? And if I want to switch back to my original firmware, is putting back the original code and updating enough ?
About basebands now : if I download a rom, is the baseband file already included or do I have to include its .ftf file too ? How exactly does this work ? (I have read a lot of people saying that it's important to have a baseband matching your rom, but I didn't get how to actually do it ). I assume that SEUS / PC Companion do the baseband update automatically ?
I have read quite a lot of tutorials, not always understanding every step. Thanks a lot to those who will answer my noob questions...
Read this thread and ALL of Flashtool howto guide. The files for getting the latest baseband are in there along with the the howto guide. The howto is by Rendeiro2005. Read that.
That will help you get the download the latest baseband and use flashtool to flash it to your phone. Keep posting with questions if your still stumped after looking at it. Good luck.
Here is the link to flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
I use the .54 baseband.
Thanks for your answer Voelker45.
I have read the flashtool tutorial (the how-to for n00bs, lol), but it's still unclear wether I need to use a separate .ftf file for the baseband or not.
What about backing up my current rom and changing the code in build.prop ?
Thanks

Don't separate the ftf file and don't change the code for the build.prop. I never heard of changing that code so never changed it. Just use the ftf file as is and you should be good to go for flashing. Put the ftf file in the firmwares folder of flashtool and the steps of the guide SHOULD help you from there. Keep posting if you have questions.
Backing up won't help you till you have xrecovery. which I can help you with when you finish with flashtool and then rooting the phone. Flashtool is going to get rid of all data on phone when you flash the latest baseband.
Thank you . I am not going to do this now (I'm a student and I have an exam next week), but probably in one or two weeks. I'll keep you posted when I proceed !
So there is no build.prop method ? Then how can you restore your original branded rom ? =S
I dont know anything about that build thing. So i wouldnt do anything with it till someone else tells u. The backup will have to wait. Well good luck on exams

Thanks ! I'm gonna wait anyway. I'll post here when I do something.
The ability to unlock the Bootloader and flash a pre-rooted standard firmware has appeal. The Arc has plenty to go at - are there any for the Neo planned?
hello, the question has been already asked, and no solution.
If you want to root your neo with unlocked bootloader and original firmware you can install DooMKernel (Overclock+Root+Recovery) or apply this zip file (made by Bin4ry) from a recovery.
Couldn't find that question elsewhere...
Anyway, thanks but I might stick to a stock unrooted should that ever come about. Or maybe not...!
Also, this thread is suppossed to be posted in the general section.
On that note, thread closed.
Hi everyone,
I am new here and I have already rooted and unlocked my phone + installed cyangenmod(Latest) boot.img + installed NightElfs kernel and then Achotjan's ROM.(Other's NOT working ...)
When I boot I see : FreeXperia Boot Screen and then the logo of Semc Debranded (I also have CMW Full from DoomLord).
Now some thing aren't working (Can't post in section dev. ::> new ! )
So I am just asking how to see your band version / firmware ?
Can someone please briefly explain or gimme a link explaining this ?
(I guess firmware is Android version ie 2.3.4 ?)
In the info screen of my cellphone.
Android version :2.3.7
Smallbandversion ? What is this ? = 8x55A-AABQOAZM-203028D-56
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-FXP-v03 [email protected] #17
Build number Achotjan-semc-debranded-engine-v1.0-hotfix
Someone knows if I have the wrong requirements for this ROM Achotjan's SEMC Debranded CM7?
Because when I am trying to flash any other ROM then Achotjan's SEMC Debranded CM7 ROM I am stuck at the boot logo.
Do I need to flash a .ftf (Firmware ?) file for this to work correctly ?
Or have I Forgotten a step (unlock BOOT, Root, kernel, ROM ?)
Thanks in advance !
Kind regards !
Hi Slee
I see your post and I GUESS your band version is 56
Im a newbie too and I also have some questions:
1) When will we see "Smallband" and when will we see "Baseband"? My Neo shows "Baseband" but some others show "Small"
2) Im not really understand differences between KERNELs, FIRMWAREs and ROMs
Thanks all!
You both can check this thread.

Not sure if I have this in the correct section, sorry if i dont and please move to correct if not.
i am running a rooted with locked bootloader verizon r800x Xperia play with a 0.88 build number. My question is can i get on the 0.42/0.56/.62 builds. Ive notice that almost everything is built around those numbers and with having a 0.88 build I'm not sure if i can flash any of the roms or mods and i dont wanna brick my phone. i found a generic 800i ftf file for 0.42 build, I'm just not sure if i can use flashtools and run it on my phone and have it work. can anyone help and point me in the right direction on if i can change that build number so i can play with my phone. if i cant use that file is there one out there that i can use and could anyone post link with what i need. thank you to all answers in advance. I have rooted my share of phones, but with every new phone comes with new experiences and questions.
Firstly, this definitely should go into Q&A. On topic, and pardon the pun, there's a topic about this in the general section, but can't exactly remember which... just browse through the forums and try to find it. It's something that goes like "R800x service attempt".

r800x have only update to android 2.3.3 and you cant have 0.42 and next cause its 2.3.4.
Next: r800x is cdma version of XPlay and r800i, r800at... are GSM so u cant flash ftf for them cause ur phone can brick
There are no (i think) roms and sth like this for r800x sry
USA has 4g, other countries have 3g so sry, blame service providers from your country

As others have said before, This belongs in Q&A. But, on topic
The 4.x versions (i.e. .42,.56,.62) builds are R800i specific, and while myself and a couple of others (i.e. 216Monster) have tried porting them, we run into the problem of "Baseband Unknown" (Meaning that we cannot get cellphone reception)
The only way to get a new build of android on the R800x is to unlock the bootloader, then CM 7/9 are stable, and Sony Beta/any thing else based off ics are less stable.
To root your phone, check my sig for the zergRush link.

Thanks for the info. I was looking forward to playing with all the,roms. And mods that were out for this phone, but I failed to do the researh I should have done, and seen there was more then one model. Verizon has really screwed all the r800x users. Again sorry for posting in the wrong place.
