unlock your bootloader and then you can once install inbuilt cwm built kernel....then you won't have to worry
try suave or nightelf

Nope as neo doesnt have inbuilt cwm that is from sony so impossible! example : samsung has that so they can root without connecting to pc and even flash kernels without pc

i saw it somewhere on xda but now i dont remember. you need older stock kernel because expliot was fixed on new kernel
dude i flashed .58 kernal , and d above image is after that
and sorry for the double post
Clockworkmode is best for recovery ... use it,and to remove your error you should open task manager and kill adb.exe process and then restart all the rooting procedure that i told you...
make sure you have enabled unknown sources and usb debugging ON
And connect your device to PC only,don't connect any other usb device simultaneously like other mobile...
It should work then as i have tested it on my XMP

[Xperia S]Root Question on 6.1.A.2.45

OK....now that we have a new ftf file(6.1.A.2.45)....some of us had a clean instal with wipping everything!And we lost our root acces!
The question is...How can we root the new firmware on unlocked bootloader?The old methods work olso for this firmware or we must wait for a kernel with root acces?

Flash advanced kernel 14, it's working. That's what I'm currently using.

Yes...but the Advanced Stok Kernel doesn`t have the old ramdisk?
I understand that in this version(6.1.A.2.45) the ramdisk is newer and we get more free ram with it!By installing the Advanced Stock Kernel don`t we also install the old ramdisk?
Have you tried the method described here?

As i said...i had a clean install as my old rom was all messed up!
A clean install for any new rom i think is recomended if you want the full optimisation of it!The question stands still...How do we root a clean install of 6.1.A.2.45 ?

you can flash the stock kernel via flashtool. It will retain your root.
So leave the box ticked for kernel?

Thank you. This method works.
Just to recap, fastboot flash adv stock 14, then reboot normally until home screen. Reboot into fastboot again and flash stock kernel.sin from FTF. Root is retained.
But you'll lose CWM won't you? Even tho you'll be rooted?

Offcourse you will, and guess we have to wait for it for a little while. But for now, the root access works good for me =)
Flash whatever you need while on adv stock 14 before going back to stock. Then wait for adv stock 15
You can try this, I have not tried it though:

[Q] how to replace ROMS

I have been using Jelly Sandwich 6.2 on my Neo V, with CWM based recovery 5.0.2.7 (locked bootloader)
but now I want to re-install another rom, is there a need to re-flash the kernel ?
Can I change another recovery, such as Clockworkmod Recovery Touch or any other one?
ON THE OTHER HAND, I TRIED SOME ROMS BUT WITHOUT CHINESE, (A) PURENESS (B) ICS REVOLUTORY HD
WHICH ROMS SHOULD YOU SUGGEST FOR ME?
You just need to flash the new rom with full wipes..format etc..
no need to re-flash kernel..
and bout recovery use CWM 5.5.0.4..use xParts to install..CWM touch has some bugs last time i checked dont know if they've been solved now..

I don't think there's a CWM touch for this device.
If you want to flash another ROM, flash the recommended kernel ( for unlocked BL) or use stock kernel itself (for locked BL).

No it won't brick it, it will just install the cwm.

[ROOT] Firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54

DON'T USE ON XPERIA U, XPERIA P AND OTHER XPERIAS. KERNEL FILES PROVIDED ARE ONLY FOR XPERIA SOLA!!!
This is the same method used by naruto20007 in [Root - Locked Bootloader] Xperia P 6.1.1.B.1.54 so thanks him, i've only packed the two kernel ftf files for sola.
This works with LOCKED and UNLOCKED bootloader
I assume that you are running 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware
You need:
1. Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry LINK
2. 6.1.1.B.1.10 and 6.1.1.B.1.54 stock kernel ftf files LINK
3. Flashtool LINK
INSTRUCTION
1. Flash MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
2. Root using Bin4ry's method
3. Flash MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf with Flashtool and reboot
After flashing the 6.1.1.B.1.10 kernel your icons can turn black, don't worry and go on.
If you have unlocked bootloader you can also root by flashing TheBrainsKernel
Is there no way to obtain root without unlook BL right..?

No, you're going to flash only the kernel, not wiping
