i wanna go back to original rom that comes with xperia neo, but i just imagine how to use flashtool everyone just says "flash with flashtool" someone could give me steps how to do it?? full help needed full and clear steps please thx for help if i get any ^^
Steps to flash with Flashtool
1) Download the firmware you want to flash
2) Put it into the firmware folder in the C:/flashtool folder (or wherever you put the flashtool folder.
3) Run flashtool and click on the lighting symbol (flash button)
4) Select flashmode
5) The firmware folder will open, select the firmware you want
6) Follow on screen instructions to put phone into flashmode
7) when phone is conected in flashmode flashtool will start flashing the software
8) when it is finished disconect phone and if you got the correct firmware it should boot and all will be good.
Alternative you can use Wotan server.
The programm will detect you phone and guide you through the flashing.
But Flashtool is faster, if u manage to use that than do it ^^
Seriously no idea why you guys cannot search a little instead asking every time :/
There is a great guide already made for flashtool.

It's better to do it via Flashtool i Think...The procedure is this:
1. Download Flashtool,then install,then go to C:/Flashtool/drivers and install flashtool_drivers,when you've done this if your pc has a 32bit cpu,start the normal one,otherwise start Flashtool64
2. Before connecting the phone to the pc,enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources,then connect the phone and let it install the drivers.
3. Go to FlashTool and when it recognizes your phone,click on Plugins->Bootloader Unlock->Run and follow CAREFULLY the instructions.
4. When done,voilà,you phone will have unlocked BL! But don't forget to root it
Hope I helped ya

yeah I know it was really tough for you to gather everything in one place. But I think as this thread is a reference to other guides I think you should sum up some of the most important & useful things in one place to make this thread more supportive to people who find it difficult where should they start from. So make this thread providing clear concepts on bootloader,root,kernel,firmware etc 1st. Then guide them though by providing easiest methods to root on different firmwares & unlocking bootloader. You can also add guide how to flash ftf with flashtool, I just had these things in mind to tell you how you can improve this thread Later If I remember something else I will reply here

Thanks I will improve.sorry as its my first thread.i have added .ftf flash guide.
Thanks for this thread..!:good:
It helped me a lot with my xperia mini pro.
Now I have unlocked Bootloader/rooted phone with Kappa 1.6 Kernel and ViperXperia_V7 ROM and all that works from the first time just fine..!
I think my old Xperia X8 helped a lot to understand what is rooted/ulocked bootloader/CWM recovery/how to flash roms,kernels, but here everythink is a bit different.

Try that:
1. Restore your stock rom in cwm
2. Select power off (or reboot system now)
3. Take off the battery and wait 15 seconds. Then reinsert the battery!
4. Hold volume up and while pressing volume up just connect your phone to the pc. Don't press power or any other button, just volume up and connect!
5. The blue led should light up now
6. Head over to the development forum and download a kernel for your stock rom (gb -> gb kernel, ics -> ics kernel)
7. Open flashtool and click on the flash -> fastboot mode -> select kernel to flash -> select the kernel working for your stock rom
8. Click okay and wait until it has finished (should take around 5 -10 seconds)
9. Disconnect your phone and press the power button
Now it should work fine
If not, download the latest version of flashtool again and install all drivers from the flashtool installation folder -> drivers for all devices/modes again. Then do the steps as mentioned above
If that doesn't work either, post a flashtool log after connecting and trying to flash the new custom kernel, or try flashing the stock rom in flashmode again :good:

sir thats what im telling you. i cannot connect my phone in fastboot or flashmode (blue or green light) anymore.i tried so many times but as i connect my phone with vol+/vol- phone blinks green or blue light for fraction of seconds and after that it goes off n phone enters charging mode.
if you know how to handle this this kinda situation please suggest me something/ one more thing is pc companion detects phone as live with wlakman which is right but flashtool detects as xperia active. dont know what to do ans service center told me it will cost me about RS. 2000.
Hello everyone,
I encountered a problem while flashing a new rom on my new (actually 1,5 years old) Xperia U.
I rooted it and managed to instal the CWM touch recovery (using the CWM-instaler) and when i tried to flash a new rom (eXperiance V2.1)
the rom stopped installing (it has a special installer where u select apps and stuff, u probably know of it) and it didn't move on... i had no other option but to take out the battery. When i tried to turn on the phone again it just showed the sony logo, then automatically restarted, showed the logo again for a few seconds and restarted, and kept doing that until i took out the battery again...
So i tried the flashtool and i can connect the phone in flashmode (green led), but i cant connect it in fastboot mode (it connects but then suddenly disconnects as the phone restarts). I wanted to flash a new .ftf file but somehow when i put my file in the /firmware folder and turn on flashtool it is not visible in the files i could flash (just the stock x10 file is there) so im really at a loss...
Anyone got any ideas?
i did backup my previous rom but since i cant boot my phone into recovery that's not a lot of help...
I might also mention that the phone was running ics 4.0.4. and that the bootloader was locked ( i did have root tho...)
If you want any extra info just ask
Any help would be appreciated thank you
Solution: I did what dara007_168 said, which was:
1. Put the file into folder firmware(make sure the file is FTF
2.open flashtool don't do anything
3.select lightening icon and select flash mode then select the download firmware
4.wait for the pop up said
"Turn off your device....."
5.turn off your Xperia u at least 30 second
6.press the volume down key with the same time connect your phone to computer via usb (make sure to have driver install)
7.wait till it finished done
at first this didn't work for me since i had some problems with the flash tool but then i re-downloaded the older version of the flashtool and the firmware and also reinstalled the drivers.
After that it worked and i could normally flash the generic firmware.

How could you flash the kernel with a locked bootloader?
Have you installed the drivers from flashtool drivers directory, what windows version you have?

Bro u can't flash custom kernel when your bootloader is locked the only way to fix it is to flash back to stock rom via flashtool or Sony update services

Sorry for no reply for so long but i made a video and here's the screenshot of my flashtool
I am using Win 7 64x and i have installed the drivers in the flashtool driver directory.
There is a chance the phones bootloader was unlocked though... i didn't check (honestly i didn't know how)

Thanks for trying to help
(sorry i haven't got enough posts to post links)
Edit: I tried using sony update service and it gave me an error stating that the software installed on my device cant be updated... probably becouse it has a half of a custom rom flashed, or am i missing something here?
Bro I think you should flash stock firmware. I think u know how to use flashtool that easy.
1.charge battery until it full i don't know if u can charge battery or not but u should
try. I have the same problem by flash the same rom as your but mine is different it stuck on the boot animation so it can charge but u I don't know
2.download stock firmware
3.flash it
4.done

I should do that. Can you please provide the links to both the Flashtool you are using and the stock firmware, since don't know why the ones i used didn't work.
I mentioned before when i try to copy the firmware file in to the appropriate folder it works, but its just now visible in the flash tool window to select.

Firmware is flashed in flash mode not fastboot, see how long can you stay in flash mode, though fastboot should be on forever.
Did you unlock your bootloader?
@ dara007_168 I think the phone should be reasonably charged, since i started doing things on it with a full charge and didn't really use it much, so i don't believe that's the problem. I downloaded the firmware u said and again i have the same problem with flash tool... i put the file in the correct folder, but when its time to flash it to the phone (which is correctly connected) it just isn't there, i cant select the the file i downloaded.
@ ChikeD The flash mode stays connected for about 45sec and then it goes into boot loop and about the boot loader i actually think i managed to unlock it a few hours ago (i did the necessary steps on the sony site and got the code before i bricked the phone) and now i entered the number in the flash tool and i think it actually did unlock my boot loader... although i don't know how to check that...
Oh, and fast boot mode stays on forever i think (ill let it charge a bit in fast boot mode, since the red light beside the camera is on so i think its charging)

Yow man, thanks for helping me out like this but there is a problem when i try to do those steps.
At step 3. I select the lightning icon, and the small pop up window appears and i select flash mode, and then
the window opens called Firmware selector, but the firmware is nowhere in that window and i don't know why...
i know where it should be i checked some videos it just isn't there...
Would it help if i posted screenshots of all the steps?
ow and another thing.
would it work if i tried to use fastboot and flash a kernel from that option? or maybe even flash the firmware?
And i guess this might be a useful peace of information, i am using Flashtool Version 0.9.12.1 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00
