What kernel you using has to be custom not stock

I tried your case many time...try just wipe data/factory reset
Find me at Gtalk

Sorry for my bad English...
Just download compatible night elf or other kernel. Flash it in fastboot and reboot.
There is nothing wrong with ROM no need to keep wiping it.
I'm not sure which kernel my neo is having as i have tried various things in last one month. How do i find it out (Sorry i'm a beginner here)

Generally it is in about phone in settings but as you are not able to load up any ROM i suggest just flash one to make sure you are on right kernel.

hi ankurvij,
by which method you root your neo v if it is DoomLoRD's toolkit then it roots your phone with locked bootloader
to my knowledge Team Xperia SE.TWEAKED V1 is for unlocked bootloader only correct me if i'm wrong
you won't install custom ROM but can install Stock ROM
i've tried the same thing after rooting DoomLoRD's toolkit same error as yours
now on stock firmware from emannxperia with some tweaks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544273
I had similar problems when I put a rom with an inappropriate kernel. But for this you must have the bootloader open
Yes, i used DoomLoRD's toolkit .. i will give a try to ICS Now
Thanks for ur reply..

Hi, i have a Xperia Neo with a 2.3.4 rom. It looks like sony have released the android 4.0 for its devices.
Does the Xperia Neo have this option, it's official? What are the advantages of 4.0 over 2.3.4?
And are all 2.3.4 apps and games compatible with 4.0?
Thanks!
Were you in coma or something? :/

Actually android 4.0.4 is released now. More functions than older android. But it consumes more RAM,
Everything is compatible with this version,

I flashed the official 4.0.4 with an old flashtool (x10, can't install the new one) and now i'm stuck because it isn't rooted, and i can't enter cwm recovery mode to install a custom rooted rom.

The phone works. The problem is that i can't open falshtool...
So i need root to flash CWM and i need CWM to flash a rooted rom.
The link you posted requires CWM, right? How can i get CWM without root and without flashtool?

I don't think you could have CWM without root. The Link that i post , needs working Flashtool to root and after that you can install CWM.
Guys ...if u r in unlocked boot loader just install a custom kernel like night elf which have root and cwm within it...then u can install any custom rom .....I used this trick many times ...they it.....use fast boot to install kernel ..

Hello, I have a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and I wanted to run the Real ICS r6 rom. I have a LOCKED bootloader and I have a rooted device with CWM recovery installed. I have the stock Kernel 4.1.b.0.587. How to proceed after this? I need step by step instructions. I am completely a noob.
Also, I installed this rom but the screen never went after the Walkman animation in startup so I was freaked out and I flashed Stock Rom using my computer. Can anybody help me. Thanks.
Before flashing, make a full wipe. Wipe data, cache, advanced-dalvik cache, battery stat. Then flash the zip!
Wait until booting finish.

If you just need the ui of real ics, then there is xperia gx launcher which can be flashed through cwm.. I did that.. I mean, I installed the stock ics then started modifying it... Replacing the systemui and framework-res... Just search it in the themes and apps section... Then you will have whatever you loved in the stock rom., and you can customise it according to ur tastes..... ,

sorry for late replay.
YES until now
Re:[Q] [Live with Walkman] Real ICS R6
Step 1:
Unlock the bootloader
1.Use the official sony method...
head to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow the procedure there..
by doing so you lose your DRM keys which means services like track id wont work anymore...
2.use a testpoint method which is a bit complicated but you retain your DRM keys
for the testpoint method check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1730874
BE CAREFUL WHILE UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Step 2:
Install any one of the kernels mentioned on Real ICS r6 thread using flashtool
you can find flashtool here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351309
press vol up button while connecting your phone to pc..
flashtool will detect your fastboot device.select the kernel and flash it..
check the logs before you disconnect your phone
Step 3:
Copy the flashable ROM file into your SD card.
Step 4:
Boot to CWM by pressing volume down again and again when your phone boots up(when the SONY logo appears)
Step 5:
Wipe cache,data,system and dalvik cache from CWM
Step 6:
choose install zip from SD card and select the real ics zip you download..
Step 7:
the AROMA installer will start and you can then follow the instructions it shows..
if your touch screen is not responding on the AROMA installer page use the vol up/vol down and home keys to select..
dont panic the touch screen will work once the installation is complete..
that's all bro..
dont freak out..
It always takes more time when it boots up for the first time..
the only part you can mess up is the bootloader unlocking and kernel flashing,so be careful with that..

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..

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.

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

Hi,
I have tried the binary's method but it didn't work either. I've been looking all over the xperia u forum's but I didn't find a solution...
It appears a message saying:
"mount: permission denied (are you root?)"
I am on FW 6.1.1.B.1.54. I also tried to flash it to kernel 6.1.1.B.1.10 but it also appear a message saying "ERROR: Aborted" on flashtool.
It's an Xperia U ICS 4.0.4 Vodafone PT with bootloader locked. Thanks a lot

Try this........ Link
See the quote in the thread.....
I have trying to flash the kernel to have the 6.1.1.B.1.10 FW installed, but I'm not able to do it through flashtools... It appeared an ERROR message after pressing the vol - button and connecting it to cell...
Anyway thanks for the help!
Edit: could the problems be because of windows 8? I mean, does flashtool works fine with windows 8? Thanks..

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?

u installed drivers in, <installation path>:\Flashtool\drivers, goto the bottom when it starts and install flashmode and fastboot drivers too
Yes, I installed the drives on that folder you pointed.
But the fastboot drivers I think I didn't... How can I do that?

they are in the end of the driver installer, just search for them at the last lines
Thanks guys, took me a while but I did it in case anyone search for this, this is the correct way

The kernels where a bit of a pain in the ass to find by their own though.
