somebody help!!!! no fun using my phone without root. thanks in advance

To root flash v .10 kernel and then try with flashtool. Then switch to. New kernel.
Or
flash kernel with recovery, flash root package in recovery and then flash stock kernel back

You should update to C.0 it has got all problems fixed the .54 has tethering problems
This shows you to get the version C.0 on your Xperia U. This also enables root on your phone .
Do this:
Download the flashtool if you aint got it: http://androxyde.github.com/
Download the ICS C.0 from here: https://hotfile.com/dl/182433042/18e...obile.ftf.html
Download the kernel of B.10 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?tbswbbl4an5ip8z
Download the kernel of C.10 from here : http://www.mediafire.com/?c9mdhuvkpwdqttf
Download the Bin4ry root ( V13 only ) : LINK
Now the steps
1) Install Flashtool in C:
2)Conpy and paste the ftf of C.0 in C:/Flashtool/Firmwares
3)Open flashtool and connect your device then click flash then next then follow the instructions
4)After all is done start ur phone and set it up
**************If you want to root then go down otherwise finished****************
5)Flah the kernel the of B.10 to the phone. You will need to copy the B.10 files to firmwares
6)Root using Flashtool or Bin4ry. Its easy just follow the onscreen instructions
7)Flash the kernel of C.10 and all done
8)Start the phone
***********************************
Hit thanks if I ve helped you in any way

Downgrade to 2.3

Hey guys,
i want to downgrade my Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V to Gingerbread, cause i don't like the ICS. Is there a chance to downgrade the Phone? I can't find a Original 2.3 Rom to install it..
Can anyone help me?
Via Wotan Server,but it will cost you 2 euros or flash this version via Flashtool. https://rapidshare.com/#!download|1...266662|R~2C3B93AFF3A3AA8419FBFA1C02642EB2|0|0
Here is how i did it for my NEO-V , please be cautious while selecting the files .
There may be other ways to downgrade, but i did it following ways.
1. Get the tft file - Choose for flashable 42
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19808360&postcount=3
Then extract the tft file into firmwares folder in the flashtool menu.
2. Flash the tft with help of flash tool. Check wipe cache, Wipe User Data. , Uncheck all others.
3.Now your phone has 4.0.2.A.0.42 Raw generic firmware .
4. Reboot into phone.
5. set usb debugging on
6.Start Flashool, advance, root and then Force zergRush , Reboot system.

8.2 Choose the appropriate ROM & Kernel for neo from here

Root access gone after flashing 6.1.1.B.1.54

1) I had xperia U firmware 6.1.1.B.1.10 .
2) I rooted my my xperia U with flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1933985
It was rooted perfectly.
3 ) Later on, I used flashtool to upgrade flash my phone to 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware
using this --
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2075526
But, now when I am opening Titanium Backup or other application. I see the message no root access found!
I saw in some thread that adding some files helped restore root access...
Please advise...
You lose root when you flash stock ftf.

Re-root if you have your bootloader locked... or use a kernel if unlocked...
When you flashed new firmware,the whole system folder was replaced with new one.It did not have su binary needed for superuser to run.So you lost root access.
Just flash 6.1.1.b.1.10 kernel,root with bin4ry or flashtool and then flash back 6.1.1.b.1.54 kernel.You will be rooted again.
Kernal vs Firmware confusion...
