Hi FastDuck, I really glad to your explanation about how to root this (377) firmware, but there are some questions about that.
How to make unsecured boot.img file?
How to flash the signed 377 kernel.sin to boot section?
Please tell me, I'm really noob about this one
You can check out the developer section of this forum. There are lots of posts and threads regarding this. I'm sure you'll find what you need

To make an unsecure boot.img.. Long story short.. You need to decompress the Kernel.sin from the firmware. Extract the ramdisk. Change a properties file. Repck the ramdisk with the kernel image.. Very short version.. Download boot.img from the developer thread.
You flash the kernel.sin same way as boot.img.
Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

You just bumped an 6 months old topic
Anyway, it is better to root without unlocking bootloader.
Read my tutorial, if you want to root, link in signature.
Hi. I'm new user. I have a neo V and i have the 4.0.2.a.0.62 rom version.

Sorry for my english

I am a newbie too,
but you'll probably won't be getting any answers if you post such questions,
start searching before posting, either in this forum or google.

yeah you need unlocked bl for this so i dont know if he want that.
cheers
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

2 ways:
1) Flash using Wotanserver, search about it on this forum
2) Flash using flashtool with .42 .tft file firmware.

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

100% Working.
I Need ICS ftf for MTi5a not MT15i.
Can anyone provide me one?
Please don't ask why I won't like Mt15i ftf
if you can give me than post or don't post saying "Why..............."
Unless you HAVE to flash an MT15a firmware (for warranty or something like that), you can flash any MT15i normally.
Sadly AFAIK there's no MT15a official ICS yet, I have an unlocked MT15a and my SI number still doesn't show on the talk page at sony mobile
Well, I am running MT15i ICS but I really want MT15a ICS.
I searched MY SI but No Update is available
Hope IT will Come Soon.

Good Luck!

Thanks a Lot Mate
You really are a great helper.
MT15i ftf caused some network issue for me like data drop sometime etc
Also I really miss some app like Mcafee security suite
Gonna Download it tonight.
BTW, Is this ROM pre-Rooted?
and which Kernel do you suggest for this one?

Hi,
No, This Rom is original Sony rom without root. You can root it the sameway as MT15i rom in 5 minutes.
Currently, i'm using the stock kernel without any problem. BTW, my bootloader is locked, so i can't change the kernel before unlocking bootloader.

Ok, Gonna Root is myself
BTW, I unlocked my Bootloader so No problem for me to install any Kernel
Again thanks
Need ftf 4.0.4 MT15a Generic trade Brazil to flash with flashtools, because SUS and PC Companion not work for me.
Sorry my bad english.
MT15i cause some error on MT15a NEo.
I suggest everybody to Flash correct Version.
MT15a ICS is working fine but MT15i really gave me a hard time

Hey dude i have a mt15a and my phone was flashed with a mt15i firmware, is exactly the same, you dont lose the 3G or gain another bands of frecuency.
I recommend 100% flash it with the mt15i firmware

I am having touch panel issue on my mobile and decided to go to service center to fix it. For that i need to rollback to Sony original stock GB ROM and also want to lock my bootloader. Please help me to do that !!!
will they find my mobile bootloader was unlocked ???
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 :
xodARAP7 said:
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... !!!

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. .....

Hello all,
I have Sk17i with 2.3.4 ORANGE firmware, which doesn't allow update to ICS and/or even root. Also, it says, that my bootloader can't be unlocked, so I can't flash other ROM manually. I was looking in this forum something similar but didn't find anything, so I started this topic. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL HELP ME :crying:

I doubt you understood me corectlly.. I can't upgrade it with sony companion or update center, because it says, that phone is up to date. I can't update it by flashing it, because my bootloader is locked. I can't unlock my bootloader because my phone says that is not allowed.
U cant flash ftf file using flashtool eventho ur on locked bootloader.

You can flash official ICS .ftf on orange locked bootloader phones using flashtool just fine. I did it a few months ago when I still had locked BL (unlocked it later thanks to WotanServer). I wouldn't recommend updating your phone to ICS if you're a gamer. ICS from sony is a bit slow and honestly I think it's better to stay on GB when you've got locked BL.
