I just rooted my phone using this method, which has been succesful for me earlier.
Everything went fine, and I didn't do anything except for what stated in the post, but when I tried to startup the phone, it gets stuck at the SE logo. Not the text logo, but the logo after the colorfull animation and with the picture logo above of it.
I removed the battery after waiting 10 minutes and I tried again, with the same 'result' (or failure as you wish).
And, yes, I have used the Neo file, not the Arc's. My Neo was running on the latest 4.0.xxxx firmware before rooting.
Should I try:
reflash ROM?
relock bootloader?
flash another ROM
????
Edit:
When charging, the phone also won't get past the green logo, and the LED is not on.
Edit²:
Fastboot mode working, so flashmode if necessary also I guess.
Now retrying from the neo_modded.img
Edit³:
Didn't work, now reflashing stock 2.3.2
Reflash 2.3.2, root with Gingerbreak and update OTA to last 2.3.3
FIXED
now on stock 2.3.2
But, this is XDA, so let's try to flash a pre rooted ROM I just finished downloading.
Hello,
With an unlocked bootlaoder you can flash the 2.3.3 firmware, then install DooMKernel from recovery . That seems Root, Recovery and an Overclock option with the latest stock rom
Phone is working, now checking if rooted.
It was quite easy actually:
flash generic 2.3.3 with flashtool
turn on USB debugging and select device Xperia X10 in the flashtool
in the top menu, click root psneuter
turn phone of, and flash relock bootloader Xperia
update your phone to 2.3.3 using PC companion or SEUS
Hmmm, sure this worked for me once, phone now won't get past a black screen witch lit background, flashmode working. I'll retry.
Fixed, but phone not rooted. I'll leave it this way, non-rooted.
Unlock bootloader. Flash 2.3.4. Flash rootxperia and u got the latest with root. No overclock yet for 2.3.4 but it's all good.

Which firmware version?
Best is to reflash everything and wipe your phone during the process.
Download the X10 flashtool.
I'd recommend this method (only if you have an unlocked bootloader) it's very easy.
here are some additional instructions considering flashtool

Hello All
This is a guide to install the latest version of Android 2.3.4 - MT15i 4.0.1.A.0.283 Global on your NEO and install root access.

1. Backup your data. (Just in case!)
2. Download the FTF file from here:

(Thanks to sdk16420 for uploading the update files and thomasafca for making the FTF and uploading!)

I don't know what firmware, i just know that it's a MT15a...
Which firmware should i use?
I just flashed with the latest 2.3.4 firmware and it's working.
Now i would like to know what tutorial to follow to root my phone with this firmware and don't brick it.
Also, I unlocked bootloader before i flashed, so i don't know, it's still unlocked?

yes, it should be still unlocked.
One : since you unlocked your bootloader, some music add-ons in the stock player won't work anymore, same for TrackID. Replacement for TrackID is Shazam.
Two : DO NOT accept over the air updates, only update using PC companion or Update service on your pc, else your phone will be unusable.
So, here's how to root 2.3.4. It's very easy if you know how to flash.
All your data will be saved, but best is to make a backup just for sure.
Note: just copy the zip to your sd card (when I tried it first, I unzipped it. Had no experience with clockworkmod)
Good luck!
I'm having the same problem. I'm on 2.3.3, unlocked the bootloader, and then flashed rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281489. What should I do?
Flash back to stock 2.3.3

yes all data is lost,there is now way to get back after reflashing new software.
yeah.. already do that -.-'
What? CWM keeps data in SDcard, its not lost at all. But if you use SEUS, it will probably upgrade do .62 firmware, wich can't be rooted yet. You still have lots of options (flash back to .58 using whatever you like, wotan, flashtool) or unlock bootloader and flash a kernel with CWM builtin.

flash kernel with in-built CWM and restore, if it didn't work then flash ROM again, go to CWM -> backup and restore -> advanced restore -> choose backup file -> restore data. thats it, your apps will be back.

maybe. but before you unlock bootloader, flash stock kernel and rom via flashtool. you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash stock kernel. then root phone. install CWM and restore data. all apps will be back.

allready do this yesterday, and my phone is back in action btw thx for reply !
I have a rooted SE wt19i with CWM recovery installed and yesterday I wiped all the data, cache and system files to install Minimul Triumph ROM.
When I rebooted my phone it was stucked at the First Sony Ericsson screen and didnt boot into recovery. I have a Backup On My SD.
Please Help
have you tried flashing back to the original firmware using flashtool?
Yes i DId try but it doesnt even go to flash mode
Edit:I finally managed to go to flash mode. I flashed the firmware succesfully thanks kevin
First, I cannot find that kind of ROM for WT19i, could be wrong ROM to install. You can only install ROMs, that are built for your phone.
Second, you must have custom kernel to boot into custom ROM. Stock kernel only works with stock ROM. First install custom kernel(there's plenty of them in Development section, like X Kernel, Rage Kernel, bbooff's kernel etc) and then via CWM install custom ROM(install from sdcard).
Most custom kernels include CWM.
Please help me

The main idea is to restore your framework-res.apk. U can use aroma explorer if you have installed CWM from boot. If u havent, u should unlock your bootloader, there are several methods, i would suggest the unofficial through s1 tool with testpoint. Do you have a custom ROM build, or the official that came with your phone?
Take your battery off, start flashtool, put battery back in DO NOT power up.
Connect to pc when flashtool tells you holding back button.

thanks guys for replying.
but I don't want to unlock bootloader. so I flashed it completely using flash tool. And had to give-up my all app updates. Now working fine...
Install cwm this time, even if your staying on stock, so that if something like this happens again, atleast it's easier to recover without loosing data.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------
dont forget to wipe the phone before flash the new one
Try using flashtool and downloading generic 4.0.4, if that doesnt work use SEUS as last resource
Download ftf file for your phone and flash it using flashtool.

You should wipe data and cache at first, then install the ROM along with the gapps with it!

Go to recovery mode, wipe phone completely ( cache, data, dalvik cache, battery stat if you want to ), then flash your rom. it will be fine
back to cwm again.

Thanks. I just did that. I flashed it but it came back to CWM again.
please help.
after reboot it came back to recovery ? Okay if it so. try these :
1. do as i said earlier + before flashing rom, after wiping phone , go to mounts and storage and formate /system, /data and /cache manually. then flsah rom and reboot.
if this didn't work,
2. then as the first comment on this page says, download ftf file (rom) for your device and flash it via flashtool. all instructions will be given when you'll select to flash ftf . dont worry this will work definitely.
but sorry i haven't asked you earlier, you have locked bootloader or unlocked ? because if you'r using wrong kernel which is not for the rom, you'll get bootloops.if on wrong kernel, try flashing right kernel for your device. good luck
Hi!
I have been a happy owner of a Live With Walkman for over a year now. I had the 4.0.4 update and everything.
Several times i have tried flashing custom ROMS ending with a bootloop, ALWAYS. And when i mean several, it 10+ times i have tried.
I have a locked bootloader with no unlocking option, kernel 1.6.32.9-perf (stock obviously), build number 4.1.B.0.587.
I have always selected ROMS that can be installed in locked bootloaders (like Real ICS) but always ended in a bootloop. Following always the instructions.
Please help me and tell me what i'm doing wrong. Is it the kernel? Maybe a faulty SD Card (wich i really doubt because i can use it without problem)?
And is there any ROM that's been proved that works with locked bootloader, stock kernel always? I prefer a ROM without sony customization. Just plain android ICS. Sorry if this annoys you and probably you'll tell me to search for a ROM and try. The problem is that i don't trust a lot if it says for locked bootloader and i want a ROM that a user can prove that works and how did he installed it.
Thanks a lot!
Sure you've formatted the whole system and data in mount and storage , and cache?
i ever facing this problem when i was first installing cust rom for my xperia mini,
i was forgot to format the system and data which is not required on my prev device (Xperia X8).
I guess this is the error.
U have installed a recovery mode to your device with locked bl. That means u have installed it to the system partition. When u flash a rom, it wipes your system partition. So flashing process may go with errors.( because the needed files are not present in the device anymore) As a result u may end up with a bootloop and u can't even go back to the recovery mode.
unlock bootloader and flash a kernel that have a recovery mode (it's getting installed to your boot partition). so it won't get wiped by a rom flash.

Hello people,
I havevthe same problem, and would like to add another input:
A cwm backup restore also results on bootloop.
Basically, stock rom is rooted, cwm is installed... But after that no new roms can be flashed.
Tried doing 3 wipes+format/system and just 3 wipes, the result is the same: bootloop with no acess to cwm :|
