Open the ftf file with winrar.
Extract the file named kernel.sin on desktop.
Connect your phone on fastboot mode and install the kernel.
Connect the phone on flashmode and install the rom.
Should work this way mate.
To use fastboot mode you have to install phone's drivers.
Again the phone does not stay in flash mode or fastboot mode because i keep getting an error.
PLease read the post before replying.
Did you install fastboot drivers besides xu drivers? Theyre at the very end of the list.

I brick my xperia neo again... now when im going to connect to the pc to install the original firmware , apear S1boot fastboot checking in windows update and i cant pass this step why? Don´t donwload the s1boot fastboot. I replace to the original firmware one time in wotanclient but now i can´t do that because i need this s1boot fastboot to donwload to my computer. Can anyone help or send me this file to install?
Sorry my english
Thank you
Please anyone help me

Try downloading Flashtool (http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/), and manualy updating 's1boot fastboot' driver with the drivers from flashtool\drivers directory. There is a zip file Xperia_2011_devices_fastboot_drivers.zip so first you must unpack it
Here is a guide how to manualy update windows driver -> http://www.addictivetips.com/window...-or-device-drivers-manually-in-windows-vista/
Its ok now I just open the flashtool and the wotancliente and flash the firmware with the wotancliente but the windows never install the driver again.
Thank you for your help.
Happy New Year

You must to unzip the zipfile to a folder and then install the driver manually through device manager in windows.

Are you reffering to MTP?
What you you done before getting this issue?
Sent from my ST17i using Tapatalk
Thanks for responses, frankly I don't know what happend to it, it came to me already broken, trying to flash but it won't enter it in msc mode (@ puppet13th: yes, I was reffering to mtp), and I don't know how to switch to msc because it doesn't boot. Thanks a lot for your help
Is there a way to switch it to msc with adb push or something? Anyone can help me?

Enter flashmode for flashtool
Hey....i don't think you need to switch it to MSC mode for flashing.... did you try to enter flashmode by holding "Volume down" button while inserting the USB cable into the phone ? Are you trying to flash it via Flashtool ( it is the easiest way ) ?

Yes, I tried to flash it with flashtool, but it won't recognize the phone, holding volume down while inserting usb, and the mini led light up orange, so... what else can I do? .. thanks
Did You switch the phone off before that?
Procedure is:
1) Switch off the phone (remove battery if needed)
2) Press "volume down" and hold
3) Put he USB cable in.
Do You see driver installation dialog running in windows? wait until it finishes.
4) Start the flashtool
5) Flash the ROM.
Yes, I did exactly the same, but it doesn't install the drivers
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Then You need to install either Sony PC companion or form the Sony develeoper site the proper drivers.
Sony PC Companion You find here
Pc companion will install all the SE xperia drivers You need.

You have drivers in Flashtool folder under : \flashtool\drivers install them , and accept all of the installation requests by Windows . Or install official drivers from Sony or from Google's SDK source .
:Flash a new kernel via FASTBOOT and install a rom or reflash the firmware with wotan client that worked for me

I did it like this: connect phone in fastboot mode, then i installed the drivers manually when this is not working plug out your phone install PDA net on your computer, connect your phone in fast boot mode and the program will install the drivers
Sorry for my bad english
when you plug in your usb while holding volume down key the led should be green not orange.
green led means the phone is in flashmode.

hi this not help ,any idea?
This may help you 90%... just try it
I also have bricked up my Xperia Neo V
I tried many tools but no one helped.....
Finally I got back my bricked phone back by doing following things....
download all the needed things you need to update phone with wotan X tool unlock, you will need
1. X_Unlock_Tool_Setup_Wotan
2. WotanClient
3. USBFlashDriver
you can get all these from wotan website.
also create an account on wotan website. NO NEED TO BUY ANY CREDITS
install all above mentioned tools.
then run X UNLOCK TOOL
then follow on screen instructions untill you get an error that you don't have sufficient credits.
NOTE THAT NOW YOUR PHONE HAS GOT A SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE FROM THIS TOOL. BUT THE POSITIVE ASPECT IS THAT YOU CAN NOW FLASH ANY ftf FILE USING FLASH TOOL. SIM LOCK WILL BE REMOVED AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS.
now flash the desired firmware on your phone.
power up your phone
if it power ups successfully, then your phone will not detect your SIM card.
finally use S1 tool to remove SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE.
CLICK THANKS IF IT WORKS
BEST OF LUCK
Same issue
I am using an Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Ray and it got bricked when I tried to flash in Cyanogen mod 7 for Xperia Ray...
Now I am trying to flash stock roms using Flashtool but it is requiring me to be in Flasmode which obviously I can't do it. I have done the steps but it wont recognize my phone.
I am also trying to figure how to flash a kernel but every kernel that I download comes in an *.img format but FLASH TOOLs require FTF file to flash the kernel.. how can I do it?

I can't attach such a large file, but I can help you. Download the latest flashtool 0.9.6.0 or 0.9.8.0 (you can find it anywhere in the net), install it, then go to the folder where it is unpacked and in the "drivers" folder you'll see the installer for the needed drivers. Just select the ones you need or select all. Reboot and that's it.
If you have Win7, execute the installer in compatibility mode
Good Luck

Don't worry. The installer described by wah000 has all the drivers needed. You'll be asked to choose which drivers you want to install. Be sure to select the driver for Xperia Sola, driver for flash mode and driver for fastboot mode.
Next time, your phone will be detected, and you'll be able to use the flashing possibilities of Flashtool.

Try to install the drivers that are in the /drivers folder where you installed flashtool, otherwise install Sony Update Service or PC Companion to get the proper drivers for your phone. Fastboot is not supported on the U20, so choose flashmode for anything you want to do.

Well, I've been trying to install a custom ROM on my Xperia Sola, but it won't go into fastboot

I've managed to install usb drivers on my phone using this, but it still won't go into fastboot
Any help?
Edit:
Just to be clear... blue LED is fastboot right?
cause its always purple, then when I try to activate fastboot it goes blue for half a second, then goes purple again

My phone's LED turns purple, then the flashtool says it's in fastboot mode [Which isn't, cause it should be blue, right?]
And to check I want to fastboot folder,tried to check with command prompt if he recognizes my deice, and he didn't :\
while in that condition [Purple LED, flashtool says fastboot] I tried to press power+volume up. The LED Turned blue for about 1 second, then went purple again and then red [rebooting itself into charging mode]
Thanks for the help by the way

Try different USB port and make sure driver is installed.
Install the PC Companion, then connect the phone and let the phone install the drivers needed (When the pop up appears on the phone, select ok).
See if that works. This phone has a problem with Windows 7.
Otherwise, if you have a windows XP phone, you can get into fastboo there.
My experience - if your phone is "Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No", then you cannot access fastboot mode, only Flash mode. That's my experience from XU
