Rooted the phone...
NOOO CWMMMMM... Used xParts, failed. Used the hard way, failed.
HELP!
on .587 rooted
=========SOLVED===========
Solution: Flash system.sin from the ftf file by extracting it out using 7zip with fastboot mode. Then, flashed any stock kernel for ICS and then successfully able to allow flashtool to see headers.
What does xparts say...
What do u mean by failed??
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
If you are onn neo v then surely xparts should work.. best, if you have unlocked your bootloader, flash a custom kernel, suave, lupus, etc.. So many of them.. U will get cwm along with it..
Hit thanks if that helped..

Your phone isn't bricked.
Aokp is jb and you are on ics, therefore you phone won't boot.

You've thrown a 'grenade ' !
You didn't unlock bl!
You didn't flash Jb kernel and you flashed a Jb Rom!
Wow! You've done all things wrong!
Just use flashtool to unbrick and next time! Take time to read the sticky threads!

I think you can only do it with flashing it back, so flash gb and then ics. Look here.
I have used this method before and rooted my phone..is there a way to reinstall the official ics without having to use this time consuming root method agin?Just keep the root as it is

I think when your bootloader is unlocked you can root ics. But normally you need the downgrad-upgrade method

Boot-Loader Unlocked = Flash Custom Kernel
Boot-Loader Locked = Than flash Stock ROM with flashtool, un-check wipe data & wipe cache before flashing, after flashing do a factory reset
Yes you can .. Flash official ics ftf and then flash a custom kernel such as rage or kamarush .. Then you have to flash a zip file..There you are done.. Follow this guide last section...http://naw32fsystem.blogspot.in/2012/06/how-to-upgrade-live-with-walkman-to-ics.html

Hi all,
I installed CM9 on my Xperia Neo V using the instructions on the wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Neo:_Full_Update_Guide. Now I'd like to go back to standard firmware in order to use HDMI out and other features.
I made a backup with CWM. Can I simply restore it with CWM? Will that restore the original kernel as well?
Or do I have to use flashtool to reflash the standard firmware? And if so, do I have to download one from here or can I look for the latest official version from the local Sony Ericsson site?
Thanks all. I searched and read a lot but I wanted to be sure before I go ahead.
Restore ur nandroid backup, or flash official firmware ftf file through flashtool... Download ftf from XDA forums..
i think it is better if u can flash the official frameware using flashtool...
Thanks, I'll do that. That won't relock the bootloader though now - will it? So if I want to go back to a custom ROM it should be easily done with fastboot?
Thanks again for the replies.

No, that won't relock the bootloader though.. Flashing firmware just makes your phone go back to the official stock ROM..
And if you want to go back to a custom ROM, then flash the appropriate kernel through fastboot and then install the ROM via CWM!

Hi, same question here. However, I only have the backup made in CWM at hand and it is quite urgent. It is of a fresh install of the original ROM. Will that do? Which settings should I choose to restore, what should I wipe etc.? Happy about any hints.

You don't need to do anything extra when restoring the backup, just go into recovery.. Backup and Restore and then restore your backup..
No wipes are to be made since it will restore your device to the point of your backup, in your case your original ROM..
Keep in mind that if there's a custom kernel right now, it won't restore the stock kernel.. Just the ROM

Great, thanks for the information. So to also revert to stock kernel do you by any chance know where I can find it? And should I flash it (with CWM?) before or after restoring the nandroid backup?
EDIT: I found MT11i_4.1.B.0.431. That still leaves the question about the correct sequence.

Since you're restoring the stock ROM, custom kernel won't do any harm..
But if you want to revert to stock kernel then they should be in the General or Development section (I am sorry I can't point out exactly where since I don't own this phone anymore)
And yes, stock kernel that you'll find in the threads would be of ftf format that can be flashed only with the help of flashtool..
Kindly read the instructions of how to use flashtool if you're unaware of this!

Just lock your bootloader.Then flash stock firmware (.ftf) file via Flashtool.

Same here, ftf flash with Unlocked Bootloader NO PROBLEMS!
Hello guys.
I am new here.
So i have Sony Xperia Neo V and i tried to flash some roms from here.
I did unlock bootloader officially. The easy way.
After that, i managed to flash a kernel via flashtool. Root and CWM installed as well.
I downloaded and flashed a miui rom for neo v, followed instructions (full wipe,cache,dalvik). The result: got stucked on the Sony logo screen.
I waited for like 15 minutes but nothing happened. Then i tried to boot on cwm in order to flash again or flash some other roms but i couldn't. I tried all the combination keys but i was unable to boot on cwm.
After official unlocking BL, seus won't let me update to factory settings.
So i tried to flash other files(custom and official kernels sony provided) with no success. It got stuck on flashtool at ~8% the first time.
After that nothing. Literally. No sony logo, no boot.
I can connect on flash mode (green led) but i can't do anything else.
I strongly believe that my phone is bricked now.
Is there any way to do something to unbrick?
P.S. 1 I tried FOTA unbrick tool but nothing.
P.S. 2 Sorry for my bad grammar.
Thanks in advance
Try to flash the stock ftf using flashtool!
Or else use SEUS!
That can UNbrick your phone!
Or
Flash custom kernel like
Suave, alliance,super stock,etc
Flash kernel like these via fastboot mode, not via flashtool flashmode!
That has cwm inbuilt ....and you can access recovery mode by pressing vol down button repeatedly!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
Which miui rom did you choose?
Was it a miui rom that works with stock kernel or a rom that requires a custom kernel?
My mistake was that i was trying on flashmode not fastboot.
So now I flashed Suave kernel and GB rom. It finally booted ))
Now i'm going to be more carefull.
Thanks to you guys.

Brother, you flashed a jelly bean kernel so you can just run CyanogenMod10 based roms(android 4.1.2 roms)
If you're going to flash a gingerbread rom(CyanogenMod7) (android 2,3) you must use a gingerbread kernel like : "nAa 14 gingerbread for x10mini"

there is no cwm for locked bootloader on gb, that's why i didn't mention it. You have to unlock bootloader, install custom kernel prerooted and with cwm.
What do you mean for stock kernel and cm10.1 kernel? I am confused. Stock kernel is one thing and cm10.1 kernel is another thing. cm10.1 kernel you can find it inside the zip with the rom you have to download.

I think I'm confusing us and myself. so
1. no matter which ROM I use how can I flash GB or ics stock ROM via PC/flash tools in offline. It should work 100% (because xperia u got only limited internal memory. and that's why I can't keep backup files alway . and if I break my phone I will not able to use internal memory to copy any files there)
2. can I switch between any to any type ROM like
GB to cm10
cm10 to ICS
3. can I switch between stock gb to custom ICS ROM directly?
I will unlocked my bootloader
