If you are on stock Sony rom than call service menu and check your rooting status.

Than you are allowed to unlock your boot loader. This doesn't mean that it is already unlocked.
I unlocked my boot loader via test point and rooting status still says unlocked allowed.
Best way to test is flashing a custom kernel.
Choose a kernel compatible to your current android version. ICS kernel for ICS android and GB kernel for GB android.
Take a look at the stickys. You will find a description how to flash a kernel and which kernel is for which android version.
Good luck.

Thank u very much. I am now on 4.0.2.A.0.62 rm and I am going to old 4.0.2.....42 to unlock bootloder and root. Will it done the trick for me?
is karnel included in rom (.ftf)?
I am new here. So please excuse my false and poor english
Whatever motorazr said is absolutely correct.. just flash a custom kernel and if it gets flashed that means your bootloader is unlocked.. If it dosnt then unlock your bootloader officially.. Its given on sony's side about unlocking.. Check it..
And if you are flashing .ftf file it will change your firmware totally.. Custom kernel is different.. Stock. Ftf files are different.. Go to sticky thread in neo v development section, for tutorial about flashing kernel..
Hope this meets your need..

AW: [Q] Unlocking BootLoder Failed Xperia neo
If you really flashed night elf kernel than your boot loader is unlocked!
What program did you use, flash tool?
Give us a log cat from kernel flash that we can take a look. Or make a screenshot from your phone settings showing android version and kernel version.
Look at my screeny.
No need to root your phone with doomlords method. Almost every custom kernel comes prerooted and has build in cwm. Just flashing a custom kernel and you have got superuser access and cwm.
You can try cm10 with your unlocked bootloader. Just flash a compatible kernel and install rom via cwm.

I think your Bootloader is not unlocked...
Please unlock it first...either with official or unofficial way...

Yes your boot loader is unlocked!
Did you do it yourself?
Anyway your phone is free! You can try anything you want!
For cm10, download latest nightly for your phone. Haida for neo v and hallon for neo. The download contains a jb kernel for your phone. Flash it. After that enter cwm and install the rom. Last step is flashing Google apps for jb via cwm. After all that you are done and can enjoy android 4.1.2.

Just to clear something out I tell you my personal story.
I had a live with walkman which I unlocked official. The rooting status in service menu changed from boot loader unlock allowed: yes to boot loader unlocked.
Actually I have got a neo v. I unlocked the boot loader via test point. Guess what happened? Rooting status in service menu still says boot loader unlock allowed: yes.
At the moment I haven't got a stock rom installed so I can't take a screen. I have posted some earlier, I will search for it and post it here again.
I don't know if it is possible to edited a kernels name easily. The screen he provided shows that his current kernel is named night elf.
Stock kernels are named different, I don't remember correct but wasn't it something like performance?
Best way to prove us is to provide a flash tool log cat showing a successfully kernel flash.
Again I ask the op: have you unlocked your phone yourself and which method did you use?
Or have you bought the phone second hand and somebody had unlocked it already?

Well you've a point there mate
I think in that case,he unlocked unofficially ie by Testpoint method!
I thought he used official method

Hi, I'm a noob here and in android platform.
So I bought this sk17i and it has 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62
I was trying to root it fails and from what I've read around here it's because of 4.0.2.A.0.62? is there a work around with that?
thanks
I didnt try it, but an older official kernel should work as mentioned here:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/2...4-0-2-a-0-62-rolling-out-just-a-minor-update/
if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can also flash this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
thanks but can you tell me where to get the stock kernel for sk17i? I'm sorry I'm new to this I've been searching but all I could find are the ones that are modded
by the way I was trying to use modded kernels but I always get this:

Isn't it the whole firmware? I had seen in some forum(I think it was sonyericsson's support forum) Xperia arc's kernel (only kernel) was available. It was a zipped file, only around 4-5mb.
Isn't something like that available for our phone. I searched a lot, but didn't find it.
Won't flashing the whole firmware (in the link) unlock bootloader?

Unlock bootloader is different than flashing the fw although it is related if you want to flash the custom ROM (and custom kernel of course such as rage or krsh kernel).
Google "unlock bootloader+sony ericsson" to find the website where you can get the key to do so.
Im using stock .62 fw with unlocked bl becoz i want to use custom kernel with prerooting as .62 cant be rooted by superoneclick and i dont mind on the effect to the warranty. Somemore, cm ROM isnt stable enough.
In other words, you can flash stock ROM with stock kernel even if you dont unlock bootloader but if you want to flash custom kernel or custom ROM or both, bl had to be unlock or else you will stuck at S.E words during boot.

Hi!
I have only a little question. I have CyanogenMod 9 on WT19i (LiveWithWalkman). Of course I have unlocked bootloader. I want to go back to stock ROM and unlock bootloader. I have to only flash old ftf .62 and flash relocking file or it is more complicated?

If it exist do you mind passing the link for it

You are mistaking with the meaning of unlock/locked boot loader. Phone comes with locked boot loader then it is unlocked for full throttle. If u want to go back to stock u dont have to relock the boot loader again. Just flash any ics kernel & then stock rom. Or u dont have to flash a kernel if u are gonna flash a ftf
Sorry!
Sorry. Very stupid mistake . UNLOCKED

Yes just flash the ftf and if you want to root, just flash a prerooted kernel for gingerbread, but stock kernel will be flashed with the ftf :good:

Dude, you have indeed provided very less info. Looks like you have soft-bricked your phone. This same thing had happened to me few days back. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.

Some roms need unlocked bootloaders like sense port rom... Xperia hd I am guessing as ultimate hd rom...it doesn't need unlocked bl... make sure you follow all steps like wiping etc... for roms like sense port or cyanogen you will need to unlock bl...

I believe, the ROMS you flashed were Stock kernel based and hence it worked.
To try different custom ROMS which are based on custom kernels, u need a unlocked BOOTLOADER.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms based on custom kernels.

Dude plz tell me the steps for installing unofficial roms. And tell me why it goes to bricked and 1 more thing that i installed official rom ics 4.0.4 through flash tool
Unlock with testpoint if you do not want to break your DRM: androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
Then download Flashtool (Google, it is first link). Put custom rom zip anywhere on sd card. Extract boot.img from zip and put it on desktop or anywhere on hdd. Download gapps 20121011 from goo.im. Connect phone in fastboot mode (hold right menu key while plugging USB and led should be blue). Press lighting button and select fastboot mode. Flash kernel (browse to boot.img). Reboot phone and keep pressing volume down until recovery mode shows up. Do full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache). Then select install zip from file. Install ROM and then gapps then reboot. Some ROMs may require reboot again in recovery before installing gapps. First boot can take a while so be patient. If you still don't get it, read pinned topics, for some ROMs there is also quick tip how to do install. Good luck.

Sam,
You need unlocked BL for flashing custom ROMs. Its obvious you also should have ROOT and CWM installed(I believe you do have these already )
1)Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader( IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED) if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms which are based on custom kernels.
2) If BL status is YES --> Try to unlock it.. 2 ways are there
1.Sony Official method CLICK HERE (You lose DRM values, warrenty is VOID)--> i unlocked my mobile officially
2.Unofficial TEST point method (Nothing to lose, but manual work needed) --> my mobile dint support this way since it was manufactured in 12w15 and official unlock is only way.
LINK TO BOOTLOADER UNLOCK THREAD I strongly recommend you to read the Bootloader thread first to understand what it is actually.
after unlocking by the any of the ways, you can flash ROMS and kernels of your wish..

my problem is very simple.

and tell me that is kernel is responsible for this or not????????
please help me i want to taste JELLY BEAN
what is the difference between 4.1.b.0.431 and 4.1.B.0.587 in flash tool file and which is require to clearified my above problem HELp Me PlEaSe !!!!!!!!!!
Of course. You didn't read my post, did you? Kernel (usually named boot.img) is in zip of every custom rom. I described you how to flash kernel with Flash Tool. It is not the same procedure as on Galaxy phone where all work can be done from cwm. You should see e.g. FreeXperia logo if you have flashed CyanogenMod and appropiate kernel.
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Neo V mit Tapatalk 2
If all done like root boot unlock etc.. Yu can install any room that is developed for yur phne..
Steps:
First, Install kernel of the Rom(boot.img) from the custom Rom zip (extract boot.img to yur pc) thrugh fastbootmode using flash tool.
Then boot, and try entering CMW mode and flash corresponding Rom..
Also make sure u clear the cache and things that have been told in the Rom installion procedure.

Hi,
I recently tried to root .62 LWW stock rom.
My unsuccessful attempts are recorded here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068238
Again today i tried to do it 2 times. Once with Flashtools and other time with SEUS (though it says i have the latest version on .58!).
I have unlocked BL so doing OTA on .58 rooted version = stops my device from turning on.
So i am just requesting whether someone could upload a rooted .62 stock rom for LWW version? IAlso i have tried rooting on my own using Knight45's article but it failed to boot :/
So now my only option is to get a .62 rooted rom and tweak it slowly on my own
It would be much appreciated for your support in this = )
Thank you

Hi,
Little confused as this hasn't been mentioned before.
Are you saying, for me to get root on .62, all i have to do is:
Flash a stockof .62 rom to my LWW
Flash a custom Kernel i.e. rage kernal 3.0 or x-kernal?
and i shall have root?
And also, yes i have unlocked bootloader.
Custom kernal i was looking to use (will most likely use rage kernal):

Yep, Just Flash a Custom Kernel if you have Unlocked Bootloader and you will get root
I've been thinking, when you upgrade your device's software from GB to ICS via flashtool,it flashes a kernel even if your bootloader is locked. So would it be possible to change the kernel in the stock ICS ftf rom file with a custom one, and flash it that way? Correct me if i made a mistake.

I never thought of that, but why you don't try it & report what happens? So you earn experience
No' it's impossible. You can flash a kernel.sin but I guess you can't create a custom kernel.sin. The .ftf is Sony signed and you can't modify it

It's impossible, because you can't modify the ftf. And you won't find a custom kernel.sin that you can flash on your locked bootloader

I've been thinking, when you upgrade your device's software from GB to ICS via flashtool,it flashes a kernel even if your bootloader is locked. So would it be possible to change the kernel in the stock ICS ftf rom file with a custom one, and flash it that way? Correct me if i made a mistake.

You cant flash custom kernels unless you unlock your bootloader . Hit thanks if i helped
Back on the old Xperia 2010 devices, there was no option for unlocking the bootloader. Our devices(2011 devices) are the first to get this option, so for those devices custom kernel.sin files were there. Check this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363460
Don't think that it will work though.
