Hello,
i have a xperia neo with 2.3.4 gb, unlocked bootloader and i trying to flash/root/relock bootloader using flashtool but is stuck at INFO - Checking header .
I thought it may be the USB cable, which is the original box, so I tried another but still remain at checking header.
I reinstalled the os[w7 x32] and installed only the drivers that were necessary - nothing
I tried on a laptop with w-xp and w-7 - nothing.
I redownloaded the files - nothing.
I downloaded a another version of flashboot - nothing.
Any ideas?
# I searched on this forum / google but i didn't found a concrete solution for my problem.
Regards.
Flashtool doesn't support BL unlocking and rooting on 2011 xperia's if that what you're trying.

i have already unlocked bootloader with the official method ( se website ).
i have a friend with a rooted se x10 2011 xperia, he rooted his phone with flashtool, nevermind...
How i lock the bootloader back? and with what program can i root my phone?
Try blagus' thread on relock bootloader!
And the bootloader unlock part works only on x10i and not Neo or Arc.... Phones! As far as flashtool is concerned!

Can someone tell me what I need to do to root my Xperia Neo 2.3.4 without getting the battery problem. Already experienced it once.

You will have to unlock the bootloader and then root via a custom kernel.
Are you sure, cause I can't unlock bootloader, sim lock to o2.
Yes.
There is however still this method for bootloader unlocking.

Firmware .62 won't root directly in locked bootloaders!
First downgrade to .42 by flashing the corresponding firmware and then root!
Afterwards do the OTA update!

OMFG !
I'm dead if my mom gets to know about it.
It's just been a month , got my phone on my birthday .
Tried to flash a generic neo v rom posted by doomkernerl ... Flashtool gave an error.
Then when i tried to switch on my cell , it just vibrated and nothing was displayed.
When connected to pc , green led is on.
i tried to install the firmware "4.0.1.A0.283" via flashtool but it gives me error.
flashing aborted....then it says device disconnected.
some one help..
PS:sorry for posting another thread.
Had this too when I tried to root my Neo, which was a birthday gift aswell, after a month. I know what you going through, stay calm and read the forums well

I was trying to root my phone sony xperia neo L.
I flashed MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel using flashtool. then the phone went off. It vibrated (I guess it was in debugging mode)
Then I rooted the phone using Doomlord easy root method. the phone got rooted.
but when I try to flash MT15_4.1.B.0.431_kernel the phone is not turning ON.
What do I do. Please help.
Red notification light is blinking slowly.

But how do I flash. I cannot switch off or On the phn. When Flashtool asks to remove usb and hold back button, nothing happens.
I tried flashing but it doesnt move further after reconnecting to usb

He will be able, as long as he follow instructions, and flash correct kernel.
@OP: why flashing neo kerel on neo l, after you already rooted?
And next time, please use old threads, instead creating new threads!

Dude, it's okay mine did that even flashtools picked it up as B.54 but I had flashed C.10. Just open flashtools and try root, if that doesn't work reflash C.10 and use Bin4ary, you'll get there in there end... Xperia U's need quite a bit of persuasion

Did you try fastbooting any kernel with autoroot feature??(For example,http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8eqdfx9kcupreir or this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?s0l6400e86680rp )I haven't tested it though.Please provide details on your firmware and bootloader status.
