1. i was on Arcatarc's SuperleggeraV3
2. i updated the phone to the official firmware 4.1.B.1.13 with sony update service
3. then i flashed the 4.1.A.0.562 kernel
4. rooted the phone
5. installed the 4.1.B.0.587 kernel (is this the problem, that i didnt install 4.1.B.1.13 kernel?)
6. installed x-part from market and installed CWM from x-part
7. Factory reset in cwm
8. wipe cache partition
9. wipe dalvik cache
10. Format /system (in mounts and storage)

Try flashing different kernels
1. CTCaer
2. xKernel
3. vds
4. lupus
Search forum for link to download kernels.
If problem still persists flash the 4.1.b.0.587. Dont use 4.1.b.1.13. Repeat rest of the process

i am on locked bootlader so i cant flash other kernels. And do you mean i shall flash the official 4.1.b.0.587 even though Arcatarc's SuperleggeraV6 is based on 4.1.b.1.13?

Well in that case, you can unlock BL using http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
The above method does not void warranty as you are not officially unlocking on sony mobile website.
I personally find superleggera v6 not so good.
Xperia Ultimate HD is currently best one.
Zelly cream also good but heavy
Both will work with stock kernels

Flash the correct firmware + baseband and follow all the steps.
Also re-downloading the rom may work

What baseband should i install?

bootloader locked
I believe Bootlader unlocked allowed: No is because it has SIM lock by the operator.
The method to unlock is not free. You will have to pay some amount to get Bootlader unlocked allowed: Yes

thanks for all the responses, but i can live with my phone having an unlocked bootloader.
unless i have to unlocked it to install a new rom, but i installed Arcatarc's SuperleggeraV3 almost 1 year ago and everything went fine then.
EDIT: for some reason it worked when i installed PureXperiaHDStage3, i dont know why, but my phone is working

I wouldn't really recommend using Xparts for the Ray in the first place to be honest, it's not really a 'proper' CWM installation and I've read many posts in the past advising against it. Give this CWM zip attachment a try - I used it for well over a year back in the days when I had a locked bootloader. I've had this version of CWM for so long I don't remember the specific xda user that posted it (doomlord maybe?) Anyway, just enable 'usb debugging' and enable 'install unknown apps' on your phone, attach your usb cable and follow the 'readme' instructions in the zip file. It's dead easy to install, it should only take a couple of seconds, and boom! You've now got a proper installation of CWM on your phone.
I'd totally recommed unlocking your bootloader though, I was nervous about doing it for a long time but since I did it I've never looked back. Stay away from the likes of Wotanserver and other outfits like that though, if you want to unlock your phone properly and safely talk to this guy below - he's awesome, seriously.

We'll there your problem. (in case you don't know) Custom ROMS + locked bootloader doens't go well.
i thought the bootloader was only to install CWM?
and since i have installed CWM without bootloader being unlocked, i thought i was good to go.
alright will try out SEUS.
BTW which version of flash tool, and which firmware should i be loading for the neo v?
oh anyway SEUS managed to salvage my phone!
thanks for the link!
BTW i got an off-thread question to ask, what is the differnece between rooting and unlock bootloader?
which one actually voids warranty?

Unlocking voids warranty.
But difference between rooting and unlocking: with rooted phone you had superuser right in your phone, BUT you can't flash different roms and kernel, because for that you need access to bootloader.
Unlocking bootloader giving you FULL access your phone. And this access is so great, if you don't know what you are doing, you gonna brick your phone very easy.
Also bootloader unlocking process is giving you root permissions.

How much? just a wipe data and reinstall a new ROM? And in what situations I can/I must/I shouldn't use SEUS? On my old samsung spica there was a kernel version that if I use ODIN with it the phone get hard bricked and unable to fix it... Some people had to send it to repair.
On my neo I have .42 completely stock for now... After unlock bootloader is it possible to get warranty back again?
By the way, thanks

Simple. Don't brick your phone. Before you do something..read forum, ask, analyse and then do it.
If you already unlock BL...then you can't use officials SE update tools.
But there is many other tools what working with ANY conditions BL.

It still amazes me why people do this. Se-tweak for unlocked bootloader well glad your fixed now
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
People do this because is a rom compatible with stock kernel and WORKS PERFECT with CWM and bl locked, tested by me and a lot of this "stubborn" people who don't want, or can't, unlock their bootloader. Solution is very simple, tweak a little your update-script and make life easy to all these people who want install your rom and enjoy your work.
Is for unlocked boot loader. Not locked to be honest it's not worth it
Still incorrect as stock is crap and no point if you use stock no tweaks no point in se tweaked

You are able to flash custome kernels as long as you have unlocked bootloader, if you relock it youll only be able to flash stock kernels via flashtool, correct me someone if I'm wrong

If you relock your bootloader after flashing stock rom (which I think is neccessary for updating to official ics BUT I'm not sure) you need to unlock it again and then you'll be able to flash new kernels.

But you need not lock your bootloader. You can download flashtool and then flash the ftf files that you will get here in XdA as soon as the update is released. So that way your bootloader remains unlocked, and yet you will be running 4.0.4.

Agree. relocking is neccessary for OTA updates & since ICS wouldn't be over the air so you don't need to relock your bootloader. But I prefer to keep my bootloader locked when I'm on stock rom because there might be some OTA updates in the future

Sony Xperia Go - rooted kernel

Hello everyone,
I finally managed to make rooted kernel for Xperia Go (ST27i).
I just want to mention, that I have unlocked bootloader and I didn't try is this kernel working with locked bootloader.
Requirements:
stock Sony 6.0.B.3.162 FW
unlocked bootloader
working fastboot
How to Flash:
download the rooted_kernel_ST27i.elf (sendspace.com/file/74xilq)
save it in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
power down device
start device in fastboot mode (hold volume up and plug cable)
and use the following commands to flash the kernel:
fastboot flash boot rooted_kernel_ST27i.elf
fastboot reboot
After restart, download and install busybox from market, and update superuser...
Update:
Rooted kernel .184 (without recovery )
It's work for me
Flash last firmware 6.0.B.3.184 using Flashtool
Download attach, and flash the kernel:
fastboot flash boot rooted_kernel_184_ST27i.elf
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't do this without:
DooMLoRD - I used his files from rooted kernel for Xperia P
Championswimmer - for tips and tool (ANDROID KERNEL KITCHEN 0.2.2)
Bin4ry - for tips
So, thanks to them
big thanks man. i will try it. little question: when will be rooted kernel for 6.0.B.3.184 too?
request fastboot.exe link
Great job driversax, many thanks. Too bad I updated to 184 yesterday. I'll either have to wait for a corresponding kernel or I'll have to find out how to downgrade again.

Hello! Big thnx to Driversax ! Im using 184 and tried this root and it works no need to downgrade!

I use this kernel for 3 days, and I don't have problem with battery drain.
But I will check when I get back from vacation (4 days) and also I will try to make new rooted kernel for firmware 184 and maybe recovery

I confirm that you can install it over 184. Two caveats however:
- User data is wiped (I was under the assumption that a kernel flash keeps user data - is this generally not the case or only in this instance?)
- In About phone, the reported build stays at 184, but the phone offers to update over the air to 184 again, and after downloading, installing and rebooting, it complains that installation was unsuccessful. You cannot even remove the notification, it stays permanently in the status bar. I finally got rid of them by disabling the updater – thanks Driversax, finally I have root powers – and rebooting.
Battery life has been normal (or even better than previously) for me (using it less than 24 hours though).
---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------
Oh, and one more thing:
Droidwall doesn't work (iptables doesn't seem to be implemented on the Go - apparently not the oply Sony phone with this problem, although Xperia S is reported to have it). This was the prime reason for me to root the phone, so it's quite a bummer. But at least Titanium Backup works, and I can get rid of the bloatware (although, to Sony's credit, there are no overly intrusive or battery-draining apps).

perfect, i need kernel for 184 with recovery. i made a baterry percentage mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830793 ) and i am working on quickpannel settings but without recovery is installation very complicated.

Have you been on rooted ics before you flashed it? Cause that could solve your problem

By the way this mean your bootloader is locked, but unlockable
I was on ICS a along time ago(a month or 2 if i remember right)for max a week and now im on GB(2.3.4)
OK,Forget updates.
Is there a way to flash RealICS or ◢UNLIMITED™◣ via flashtool?

No, you have to upgrade to ics (using flashtool if you want), but root gingerbread before, because ics by sony is unrootable (just able to root with flashing prerooted kernel or use kernel trick with for example neo kernel or downgrade-upgrade method with local-prop).
Use that method to root ics and install cwm. Flash the rom via cwm and done
Another thing.
Not quite a problem but why does my IMEI have 15 character instead of 14?

Okay,so you want to unlock bootloader or what? If yes, to unlock you just type the first 14 numbers, this will work. Or was that just a general question? The IMEI has 15 numbers, but for unlocking you just type in the first 14

This is for locked bootloader to root ics, for unlocked just flash a prerooted kernel (this is a boot.img)
Close please!
Look in the rom thread its wriiten that "locked boot-loader should get nAa's recovery". Search for it & ur problem would b solved. & u can always get ur bootloader unlocked which gives u full control over ur phone

[Q] Relock bootloader and keep root and CMW

Quick Question : Why would you want to do that?
Answer to the question : Yes You can do it by Flashing A Relock ftf file for your device.
But Locked bootloader will stop the CWM from functioning,
Might leave your device soft brick.
Root has nothing much to do with boot loader lock or unlock. So boot will be present
I hope you find this information useful.
Advice : Do not attempt to lock it with root and CWM.
Correct procedure is to
1. Flash a CLEAN STOCK
and then
2. Flash ReLock
