You should reflash using a new kernel! Or stock kernel!
Don't forget to hit thank, if i deserve it!

Your screen doesn't work at all when you reboot? After flashing Advanced Stock ICS Kernel I had to access the recovery (when booting regularly the led will light blue, the notification bar will glow and the phone will buzz once, all at the same time, at that instant press volume up), and flash the kernel again but in zip format.
If the screen doesn't work I'd try flashing the kernel again and if the problem remains just re-flash a stock firmware with Flashtool and then flash the kernel again. Going in recovery to reflash ics15.zip after using fastboot will be necessary though.
Odd that you had to change the kernel name, flashing ics15.elf with fastboot worked for me.
thank god
Thank God you replied I'm almost scared to death.
I just plug in n now finally there's blue light n i can go into fastboot. T.T
I have to rename it cuz it doesn't work... so what do you type? do you download the fastboot?
Now what should i do? should try again? or redownload n reflash the advanced stock kernel or other kernel?
but the doomlord guide didn't say anything about booting into the recovery and reflash it or did i miss a step? cuz doomlord guide says type "fastboot reboot" thus is rebooting?
editk so i did reflash the advanced stock but after i type fastboot reboot it says rebooting... but it did nothing! not even a buzz

I think just make sure ur kernel is not corrupted then reflash! Do u know how to reflash! When it done u can unplug and turn it on normally!

ok i'm keeping calm and everything but can i flash using fastboot into stock? like all stock firmware n rom n kernel? is there a guide?
Alright Thanks God it works now! I was in despair... but i guess you cannot type the fastboot reboot.
So what i did is reflash after it says okay! unplug ...and just turn it on normally. sorry for panicking

Hi
I really appreciate all the help, stuck and dont know whats next.
Shortly i connected xperia Active to X10FlashTool and pressed root and Optimize.
After that phone keeps restarting, only flashing the SE logo and then restart again. I put it to recovery - power, usb, volume +, and now its blank with only blue light burning. Connected via USB device manager showing - Android ADB intreface connected.
If i run fastboot i can see the device and if i type- Fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345215) i get must be rooted first.
So basically my question is please explain to stupid noob how i can get my SE back to stock rom or even to boot it normally again!
Thanks!
Please ask if i forgot something!
You dont need to be rooted in order to flash a custom kernel. Basically flashing a custom kernel gives you the ability to root your phone. Try my Kernel that autoroots your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345215
You can use that kernel with the stock rom. All it does is it gives you root privileges, busybox and CWM. You can boot into CWM by pressing the power button several times as the screen lights up brigter than normal on the Sony Ericsson logo.

pressing power button several times does not work, logo shows up as normal and then restart again.
means that the logo does not get brighter at all phone restarts againbefore that...
Lol? You have already posted it dude....
Fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
If that doesnt work, i think you have messed up something with the Flash Tool.
BTW... Have you unlocked the Bootloader?

I have sony ericsson neo v on 4.0.4 build 4.1.b.0.431 with unlocked bootloader (by official method), rooted, and CWM installed by X-part. I believe the cause is that I did not format /system (in mounts and storage), format /cache, and format /Data.
I am unable to access CWM. Could anyone able to access CWM and then re-flash the Pureness by CWM, or I have to flash with FlashTool to install the original Stock ICS. Then start all over again??!!
I have not done any FlashTool before. Any guideline??
Many thanks!!!
Did you first install the kernel as advised?
If not, then flash the kernel through fastboot and then boot into CWM.

I actually flash the follow the installation as follow but apparently omit step 4-6 below:
1.Factory reset in cwm
2.wipe cache partition
3.wipe dalvik cache
4.Format /system (in mounts and storage)
5.Format /cache
6.Format /Data
7.Install Xperia_Ice_Cream_Pureness_build_10.00.zip
8.Install patch for your phone model
9.Reboot now and you are done !
I did not 'first install the kernal as advised'??
Is this a fix, and could you tell me more how exactly fastboot and flash the kernal as you suggest??
Thanks!!!

Flash alliance kernel via fastboot...after that you'll be able to access cwm( To get into fastboot turn off your phone and plug in the usb while holding the menu key,led will turn blue... In the folder where fast boot is present in your pc hold shift key and press the right button & open cmd, then enter fastboot flash boot boot.img)"boot.img will be the name of the img file you're about to flash"
Or
You can enter into cwm by using the app called x parts, but you'll be unable to get into cwm by pressing the volume down key

Few more queries to clarify:
1. '......In the folder where fast boot is present in your pc hold': pc stands for PC Companion??
2. Do I need to download boot.img?? If so, please forward me the link??
3. After flashing the boot.img, is it just lead to fixing the CWM??
4. After fixing the CWM, should I simply follow the steps again on flashing the Pureness ROM, or I must flash the 'alliance kernel' first??
5. Please forward me the link for 'alliance kernel'.
Many thanks!!!
As for your questions,
1. PC here means your computer.. And the folder means that folder where you have kept your fastboot files!
2 & 5. Here's the link of the alliance kernel that you need to flash..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566871
Copy this .img kernel into the fastboot folder, and rename it to boot.img
Holding the shift key, right click and you get an option to open the command window..
In fastboot mode, holding the menu key while inserting the usb cable.. Type the following in the cmd..
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now turn your phone on.. Boot into CWM by pressing the volume down button.. Install the ROM from CWM!

I understand all what you advise. Basically this is how bootloader was unlocked by official method, of course apart from flash the boot.img.
However if I able to save from stuck at SONY logo, is it true that my NEO V could boot as usual before??
Thanks!!!
You won't stuck at Sony logo anymore if you follow all the steps properly!

You are not connected in fastboot.
Turn off phone.
Press menu button on phone and connect usb.
Open command window and naviagate to where your fastboot file is.
Type fasboot devices
If it returns nothing your phone is not connected.
Like this CONNECTED DEVICES:
If it is connected it will return something like this

Fastboot refers to unlocked bootloader as root.
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
You will know if you have done it! If you are unsure then you have not unlocked it, therefore, you cannot flash custom kernels so you need to either:
1. Use custom roms that are for LOCKED bootloader, or
2. Unlock your bootloader. To do this check the sticky threads in the DEV section

You cannot conect in fastboot with a locked bootloader.
Also, it seems daft that you are using 2 threads to discuss this problem.
My final bit of advice.
Download flashtool (its in the sticky threads in the dev section)
Download a stock .ftf (Found in the sticky threads in the dev section)
Flash the .ftf using flashtool when connected in flash mode (Not fastboot mode) You enter flashmode by pressing back button, not the enu button when connecting.
Once you have done that the phone should boot up with stock rom. Then you can use flashtool to install a recovery and install the pureness rom properly.

Download (Dont worry its for neo v, it doesnt matter, its just stockrom to get you going)
Place in firmware folder of flashtool.
Open flashtool
press flash icon
choose the file in the link
Turn off phone
Press back button and keep pressed then attach usb cable.
Flashtool will recognise your phone
let go of back button
wait untill flashtool finishes
disconnect and turn on phone.
First boot may take a while.
Goto settings and allow unknown sources and usb debugging.
Then use flash tool to root, install recovery and then you can install pureness via CMW making sure you follow every step in the guide, including all the wipes.

U can reboot into fastboot mode using flashtool. After installing flashtool you have to find out an option calling "fastboot via adb".just click this option.and the phone automatically reboot into fastboot mode.but u have to install all usb driver for ur device.

So if youre using lww, then volume up is for fastboot mode and volume down is for flashmode.

Hello guys,
I will try to explain my problem in few points. I was trying to flash my phone with CM11 and the steps I took are:
1. flashed kernel using fastboot (boot.img)
2. wiped data, cache etc.
3. noticed I forgot to copy CM11 to internal memory
4. the phone can't boot and I'm unable to copy data, it stucked at Sony logo
5. I can't recover it as I wiped all data
6. tried to flash it with stock rom using flashtool, but the green light turn on only for about 2 sec and then the red one appears/ the same with fastboot purple led
7. I can still enter CWM, but I don't know how it could help

Hit the power button and vol up together and wait until the device vibrates 3 times. Doing it you will force it to shutdown completely. Now go ahead and get into flash mode.

I do have one thought on how to fix this - flash a system partition dump in fastboot, It will take me a little time to make this for you
Edit:
I have to charge the c6802 up as it is flat then flash a FTF and extract the files and test, all while the wife if using the PC (she has 5 days left untill she has finished a double degree, and a separate research project on the go - I may not get the PC for a few hours)
It looks like fastboot won't open a full 2.3 GB system dump, so there goes that idea
Do you have any warranty on the device? if so the steps below will void you warranty - if you haven't already. It will also wipe all data and the DRM keys
Have you flashed any kernel/boot.img? if so then do the last steps (5, 6 & 7) as well to get on a kernel compatible with the GPe ROM
You will need the fastboot drivers installed (should be installed with flashtool) and you will need adb/fastboot (should be in the flashtool folder)
Get your unlock code from Sony's dev site, you will need the IMEI # in the tag in the sim bay
Open a command line in the flashtool folder that has adb and fastboot .exe files
Enter this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock <unlock_code_from_sony>
Download either scrubber's kernel or DooMLoRD's GPe kernel
Flash boot.img with (if not called boot.img change command below to match):
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thank you guys for your help and i am really sorry for flooding and spamming the entire zu thread.
This is my first time to root (sony way) and own a sony mobile, i was a samsung user before and ive never experienced this kind of horrible situation in flashing roms. I just bought my phone 7 months a go and i was so worried. If my Volume (-) rocker wasnt broken i wouldnt experience this nightmare, but i was hoping maybe someone knows how to turn the phone into flashmode without pressing the volume(-), unfortunately nobody knows.
I brought my mobile to sony service center and i hope they can fix it as i told them my software broke down and i need them to flash to stock firmware.
Edit:
i just saw my first post and it say fastboot mode! LOL sorry again.
i have no problem with the fastboot mode. I was stucked at FLASHMODE!
volume (-) is broken!
