Cant root my sola after 6.1.1.B.54 update...any solution ?
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
You can try the method used in xperia p. I used it for my U and it worked.
1) Install previous stock kernel and root it.
2)install .54 kernel again.
If you get a black screen after step 1.try this
1)flash previous stock rom again.
2)now flash .54 rom WITHOUT kernel.and root it.
3)flash .54 kernel again
Try at your own risk.keep the backup for sure.
If I helped you hit Thanks.If I am wrong, correct me
Search before posting.
It's easy to root.

Thanks to naruto20007 & neoxx3m for kernel files.
Thanks to Bin4ry for Rooting tool
Thanks man i rooted my device with ease by ur steps
...but the steps you detailed are *exactly* downgrading the kernel, rooting that, and then flashing the new kernel back—pretty much the very steps everyone would have done since the .54 update. How is this 'Without Downgrade'?

For some rooting methods, u have to downgrade to 2.3 so i mentioned 'Without Downgrade'
There is already a thread in the dev section abt this same process....

Downgrading problem
When i tried to downgrade to .599 from flashtool, it said that its complete but when i restarted it was the same 1.54 version and everything was black except the notification bar. Any ideas how to downgrade to .599 without errors? :/

Still the same way which is you have to downgrade first then upgrade to .54

This has already been discussed in Bin4ry's method thread...
Not a new method. Rooted my phone this way even before I read your post...

Thanks a lot
You are a savior...I tried different method as shared on xda forums and still failed to root my Xperia....and now with the help of your post I finally rooted my Xperia P...thanks a lot.:laugh:
Could you tell me why we had to flash our kernel first to ensure a perfect root....as to the methods mentioned on different threads they say to root the phone first and later flash the ROM or kernel??

when you flash a ROM by flashtool and default confs your root access will be lost, and about this methot: bcz older kernels are rootable and newer not.
Hey people I am new to xda. I want to root my xperia neo v.

2.3.6??
Now I don't know how you got that! I think 2.3.4 is latest for Neo and Neo V
But I don't find a reason for you not bein able to root !

You can also use flashtool to root your device! There's an icon in shape of a lock!
Click that once you install flashtool and drivers!
For how to :
Read sticky threads in Neo V development forum!

AFAIK...62 firmware couldn't be rooted via doomlord's method or zergrush method.
For that he will have to downgrade to .42...root it via doomlord's method...install recovery and then upgrade to .62....correct me if i am wrong bcoz by the time .62 was released, i had unlocked the bootloader already...and used custom roms.

I.think its better to unlock Bootloade with testpoint method, ant flash Moded kernel.
I have rooted my Neo V while on ICS and I think the script only doesnt work for the 4.0.4 Kernel.
I have rooted it this way:
Update to newest version 4.0.4
flash 4.1.A Kernel with Flashtool
root with the DoomLord script
flash 4.1.B Kernel back
If you are still on Android 2.3.x I think you can use the script and uptade after it with flashtool.
hello.

Hello guys, if there's already a guide please give me the link.
I unlocked my xperia neo v bootloader and installed custom kernel and rom but now I want to flash back to stock 4.1.B.0.587 firmware.
While flashing do I need to exclude kernel since Im already on a custom kernel??
And after flashing how do I root?? Same method as I have done while bootloader is lock??
I need step by step guide

if u have made a backup of your phone before flashing custom kernel or rom than just simply do a restore via cwm...or if dont have any back up than dwnl the stock ics frimware and kernel and flash them using flashtools..
If u dont have any problem then just Relock bootloader . And use SUS for stock ...
Then unlock BT again ...

No he doesn't have to relock bootloader..coz he doesn't need SUS
Sorry for troubling you guys, i already done it, the reason i want to flash back .587 firmware is because i installed a rom which is based on .587 firmware but i installed that rom in .431 firmware and because of that there is some bugs. So, i want to flash back the stock .587 firmware and reinstall that rom again. but i appreciate it.
