Hello to everynoe. Neo v user, rooted but bricked phone... Had stock ics kernel rooted with f/w .587. Flashed UHD but changed mind and wanted to downgrade to gb, .62... The mistake? I flashed immediately the f/w, the ftf file... Of course it stuck at the file "system.[i can't remember]" for too long. After that flashed kernel .562 and tried to flash the same f/w but nothing. Now i downloaded .587 ftf, full... What should i do??? My phone stucks at sony logo...
I know i messed it up but,
help... (Desperate)

If you mean connect it to flashtools and be recognized, yes. As try to flash ftf through flashmode.
Well why don't you just flash a stock ftf?

Well, i tried it too but it tells me "You have the latest version"... I ll try again. Does this program has more functions??? Isn't it just for repairing?
The tool is mainly for updating, but sometimes solves issues like yours.
And which version does it say you have?
Oh and can you use adb?

The strange is that it doesn't say any version, just phone model, and "You have the latest version"... I try to flash now gb ftf .62 and i will wait how long it takes... Even 45'! Patience. Nothing else i can do!
Yeah well try that for as long as it takes, I can't think of anything that would solve your issue right now
I upload 2 pic to see how s the situation and give some help... When i open it these 2 appear. Forst the logo. Then the other and closes by its own...
What can i do?????
Try flashing just the stock Kernel of your phone version..
Had the same problem three weeks ago, can't flash system.sin . As far as I know, there's no solution for you. Fortunately, I took the phone to a repair centre and my phone was fixed under warranty (bricked while updating with SUS).

Yes Todor, this is what i ve done many times in the past and what i tried yesterday and i m going to do it now too. It's just that for some reason yesterday it didn't flash system.sin FOR NOTHING after 25'! I ve unistalled flashtools now, cleaned up reg, and i ll set it up again as i ll update my java.
1 quest: is there ANY possibility that flashtools won't work with a well set up system and software???
Ok. Finally flashed succesfully! Just needed other computer because the one i used was TOOOOOO slow... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
This flashtool issue is becoming more and more common... The best thing to do when flashtool fails is to try in another y computer...

hi, recently i have installed some MIUI rom on my neo v, and was working perfect. but i wanted to go back to the stock roms, but i had a problem, and it was that it would take about 2 hours for every percent (using flashtool) !!! so i tried changing kernels, and the problem presisted, until i dont know how, i removed the kernel, and i couldn't install one again cuz it said that for doing so, i need to root my phone.
so basically, i have a phone without kernel and rom! can anyone help me fix it?
You don't need to root your phone to flash kernels. Flash kernels using fastboot. Do you have a nandroid backup?
Flash a stock ftf, sounds like you might have relocked your bootloader

well im only trying to flash a stock ftf, but im having the problem i said before!
and i have tried to do it in locked and unlocked bootloader, but there was no difference!
how many pc programs are there that can flash a rom?
is there any that can flash MIUI or CM roms (i mean zip ones)?
Flashtool for flash firmware like FTF file or flash kernel.
Fastboot for flash kernel only.
CWM for flash ROM through SD Card.
If u want revert back to stock.u will need FTF file and the right one flashtool...tick no verification final.

Let's start with flashing a Stock ftf. U have one already. Use flashtool and do all as instructed. Untick Final Verification. Even if it is 2 hours per percent, just let it run. Perhaps your PC is slow.
And don't worry about battery running out. Did you know that when using recovery, if you remove the battery while the phone is still plugged into the computer, it won't turn off? It should be the same when using flashtool. Don't worry about battery
Once done, boot up your phone to check everything is done. If this worked, PM me, and I'll guide you through a MIUI flash.
You're welcome
1 more thing. Redownload the ftf. Maybe it is buggy.
Hey bro.
Is it fixed? Please let us know
sorry for being late to response!
good news, i fixed it! I dont know why i didn't try it sooner, but i tried flashing it with another pc, and it worked!

Reflash the ftf file to your phone,if the problem persists(i.e version is shown as 2.3.x)then flash a different ftf to your phone.
I think the error is occuring because version appears as 2.3.x may be due to some kernel issues.

Well i was saying to try ftf for a different region but yep you can try flashing GB ftf too,even i got a weird problem with my touchscreen,it wasn't working after a bad rom flash(not ftf),i tried flashing ICS rom,but it didn't regain functionality.So i placed my last bet on GB ftf and it did work and then i flashed back to ICS.Now its problem free.
So yes..try flashing gb firmware...switch on your phone...then flash ICS firmware and then try rooting.

So I want to install a custom firmware, but this is my first phone with a locked bootloader so if you'd review what I've gathered about the subject and correct it, it would be grand (I've already flashed a different stock firmware and rooted it btw, but that as far as I've wanted to get until now).
I want to flash JB eXperience 2, and from what I can see this would be the steps:
Load up the rom in the SD storage.
Install a stock b 1.54 rom like this one with flashtool.
Root the rom using flashtool (I'm also unsure abuot this step, saw some weird stuff about rooting this version).
Install this particular CWM with the included bat (this is the bit that makes me a bit uneasy).
Load CWM and flash the custom firmware.
I'm asking because I've read stuff about replacing the B 1.54 kernel by the one on B 1.10 and stuff like that, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and also, the experience howto is made for unlocked phones so I'm a bit unsure and I'd really rather ask than have my phone bricked
thanks!
Do this
Flash B.54
Flash B.10 kernel
Root
Flash B.54 kernel
Install cwm
boot into cwm
flash the rom
reboot
thats it
simple

win 8 should not be a problem if u have drivers installed. which version of flashtool u r using.
I'm using the last one: 0.9.10.1 64bits.
I think I have the drivers since when I connect the device, windows asks what do I want to dowith Xperia U. It also works with PCC. But when I used flashtool and I put the device in flash mode, when I connect, it appears a pop up saying windows doesn't recognize the device.
Is this normal?
