He wasn't rude, he was just trying to tell that you didn't give as much info as it was needed.
About your problem, download flashtool and download .ftf (I suggest Nordic region) and flash it. Everything can be found in dev sections, or in sticky thread in general section.

Fair enough
But don't worry, nobody was born knowing all. Take your time and read a bit. If you are interested in that you will learn fast, as its not hard.
There is even tutorial on how to use flashtool.

Flash it with correct firmware, get the fw's from sticky thread in general section.
btw. edit thread title to reflect your problem, as current one is so generic that it can be used on 90% threads here

What is the filename of the file you are flashing to your phone?
Did flashtool reported any error or everything went well with flashing?

Why are you sending PM's, we have forum, there are smarter people here and will solve your problem faster if more of us discuss about it.
First you said that you have problems with keyboard, then you said you followed this instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/08/how-to-root-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-mt15i/
On those instructions I only see how to root your phone, which includes flashing MT11i kernel.
Now hear this. If you said all this info before, you would get your solution by now.
Flashing MT11i kernel on MT15i gives that error. And I would have told you that if you gave all the info you have. And no need to go around the web for instructions, everything you need is here, if you had checked this (sticky) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 you would noticed that flashing only kernel cause errors.
For start flash your phone with correct fw, to solve your initial question, then go on next exhibitions
And please use forum, it will be faster
nah sorry for all the issues and problems im done forget this thread please and delete my account im not doing this.time for a new phone.peace

It's easy stuff mate. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973017

couldn't find a proper answer for this so started a thread.
hope i'm not scolded.
i came across some pictures of custom roms for xperia x10i (using this phone now not the rom) but totally clueless how to do it. can someone post a step by step? my phone is currently not modified in any way at all.
first let me say these guys are gonna chew u out for posting this in the wrong thread lol
next. u need to give them some info about your phone before they( or we) can help you.
like firmware perhaps ?
in any means ur best bet at first is to look into the flashtool program to
root, jit, and if needed. dualtouch your phone.
from there u can also install xrecovery and then build understanding of the roms.
its really quite simple. read through a couple of the rom threads for the instructions to flash them. or even better. go on youtube once you find a rom u may want.
and a visual explanation should help more understanding and show you how easy it actually is.
good luck!
First, you would need to root your X10i device (if you are on the latest stock firmware, use the flashtool to root)
then install busybox FROM market
then install xRecovery (a detailed tutorial is included in this forum, also there's a youtube video to show you how to do it)
after you've done the preparation steps above, then download the rom you want to use, save it on your sd card
boot into xRecovery and choose "Install custom zip"
choose your rom and wait
Remark: some roms require full wipe
you need to first do some reading to build at least a little understanding of what and how flashing a rom is going to do.
then from there once u have at least the basics, the people here will be able to help you.
its in the best interest of your phone just to make sure u dont do something wrong.
but as i mentioned in the post above. watching things done in video would probably help allot. people tend to be better visual learners

Please go HERE
To add/change almost everything you need more access than the usual and to do that you need root access.
What`s that?!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
After that you just had to explore xda. Think? You got it...
With the tool on first link you can do all the tweaks you need to improve your phone. You just have to be sure of:
1. What do i have?!
2. What do i want?
Don´t ever install ANYTHING without read, read, read, read, read, read and make sure that what you want to install is the correct baseband, firmware, blá, blá, blá for you.

so the gist is i need to root before i can flash then install xrecovery to install the rom?

if you use flashtool you won`t need to root before flash. just do it

If you read through the first post completly you will find the following phrase:
"Guide:
Before you root your device, your device must running Gingerbread. Flash it back to Gingerbread if your device are running Ice Cream Sandwich Open Run.dat and it will lead you through the process"
If you are on ICS you have to flash black to Gingerbread with Flashtool. Here the link to the Flashtool thread:

There is no simple root-method at the moment, perhaps later, I don't know. Keep in mind: This is a new device and the development of a dedicated root-method keeps a lot of time. Please take a look at other threads and read through. Collect as much information as possible.

I had done that. When using the flashtool I had kept that option checked but when I did successfully (no errors messages in flashtool) flashed and downgraded to GB from ICS, I was not able to download any apps from play store. I was also unable to login into google chat. I was able to use my gmail app without any issues though. Is this normal?
I did xda and google search on this issue about not being able to login to google chat etc, almost 90% of them said that you have to remove your primary google account which is not possible to do unless you root or do a factory reset.
I have neo v mt11,on stock 4.0.4 , .431 ..
i rooted my phone before when it was on gingerbread..but i had to unroot it,but now i can't undestand how to root.

I want to root my phone again,so what do i need? can anyone help me in couple of sentences do this..what flashtool do i need,what cwm,how to flash adreno drivers..and pls if you want to provide me with working link of flashtool and cwm for my phone.

Secondly, after you spend some time here you will notice that this is not a spoon feed forum, you need to read, read and learn. And if you don't understand something, ask. Use the existing threads so information doesn't spread to much around.
Also you will notice sticky threads, which are not sticky just for fun, but rather for people to read them before they start asking questions.
One of those sticky thread even deals with your question. And I don't understand why you didn't read it.

and about CWM link, don't worry(that post needs to be updated), I wouldn't give you that link if I'm not sure it's working
just use install-cwm1.cmd, it will give you CWM on whatever version you are.

There are some methods to make swap on sdcard(which I don't suggest), maybe there are some script to have swap on system/data partition, not sure, also you can try supercharger(search for it)

Since you are asking about those drivers, I take it that you already downloaded them. Then, have you tried to open that zip?

yeah,i have and unzipped it.im on phone now but i think there was some meta folder and one more folder dk where should i place them
Yeah,ill check supercharger..
And last i dont want to leave you in doubt so one more question =D
Is it true that neo v does have only 335 ram available? Beacuse i checked review and there was written 512.so is there chance to get more free ram out of phone?
META folder, you don't need to look, it's there so that (among other things) CWM recovery knows what to do with that pack.
Where to place them? In same place as they are organized in that zip. second folder in that zip is system, and you have partition on your phone called system, now you just move them from one place to another, and respect the original path in zip. now you get the picture?
If I may advise, flash that zip in recovery and practice on something else.
RAM? well something goes for the system, rest is for usage, preinstalled apps and other stuff you do on your phone.
What exactly is in those 512-335, I'm not sure.
Tnx for all your help.just one more question can i install cwm with easy method or i nees to place files and do permission thing?

You can use which ever method you like. Though some people had problem with installing it trough x-Parts.
Anw, I already gave you advice, few posts above, which version to use.
i used easy method and it worked..about adreno drivers,i onstall them as zip from sd card,right?

You are out of luck dude.since your bootloader is locked, you can install a limited number of custom roms.

wtf, seriously? There's a faq stickied right at the beginning of the forum.
Are you somewhat special and things posted to help others don't relate to you?
maybe this helps you

If you unlock your bootloader the official way, you can install a lot of roms around here, but you will loose warranty and the DRM.
There is also a way to unlock it via testpoint method, you don´t loose your DRM
I unlocked my bootloader the offical way, i dont use DRM, and i can install all that wonderfull custom kernels here, many of them make your phone much smoother and safes battery, thats why i unlocked my BL
If you have unlocked bootloader you can flash a kernel only, like KRsH Kernel ICS 3.0, this kernel will root your .587 on first boot easy way to root yout phone, but remember you need unlocked bootloader and this will void your warranty and you will loose DRM (depends on the way you choose to unlock your BL)
For me, i prefer this way rooting my stock FW.

Thanks for your rply bro. actually am not lazy .. really i already read most of the topics .. got some knowledge but still am confused.Actually am afraid because if i did anything wrong without actual knowledge there is a chance of getting my phone destructed wr8??
We all started out with no knowledge about anything, right?
My suggestion is to Read.... Read.... Read.... And then when you are all tired from reading, read some more. Be sure to look at the stickies in the forum.

sure bro. am not tired of reading.. jus lil confused .Dats y i created thread specifying my device's configuration hoping some one will exactly post how to root it
You are the rude one by acknowledging that there are guides out there and decide to open a thread instead of doing like everyone else did, search, learn, search some more, act. I rooted my phone 3 days after getting it when there was half of the guides out there atm, and with little to no knowledge about android, and i am not some sort of super-genius, i can assure you that.
Here it's all explained along with a nice android dictonary http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
And this is a thread started by mihan especially for noobs (and it starts by saying "i know there's lots of guides but people keep asking so here's one more") http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
As a matter of fact you got bashed by pretty much everyone who replied.
The info is all out there, if after all that you still don't underastand what root is or have doubts about it perhaps it's not a path you should follow.
As zeppelinrox says "calling yourself a noob is no excuse, do like everyone else of us did, search and learn, it's all out there", if you encounter problems following root then people will be there to help, but your thread sounds a lot like "guys, how do i power on my phone? i can't be bothered reading the instruction manual" and that is rude, disrespectful and demotivating towards all the people who took time to make the aforementioned guides (btw, i only took the first two sticjkies of this post, and all is explained there, there's no need to search further).

Don't be afraid... If anything goes wrong just download your specific stock firmware from here

And then flash the .ftf file via flashtool
Your device will be back to where you started from

You are in Aroma Installer ... Some devs use this Aroma Installation in their ROMs...
Choose your device properly and then choose your language...
