Hello everybody!
Recently bought a xperia Neo V and would like to install custom roms on it and kernels,
however I can not put the device in fastboot mode mode to flash the kernel.
Have rooted the device, installed the CWM and the unlocked bootloader by testpoint method.
According researched, to enter the fastboot mode should hold the menu button and insert the USB cable
but when I do that the phone turns on a red light and charging symbol appears. the device goes into flash mode (green LED) and has usually managed to install custom roms but not kernel.
My phone is SIM unlocked.
I appreciate all the help available ...
Sorry for my poor english...

If your phone is sim locked you cannot enter in fastboot because it is also locked.
You have to unlock the phone (search for SE Tool or Omnius) and then you'll be able to enter into fastboot mode.

Type *#*#7378423#*#* if rooting status =yes then you should have fastboot, power off the phone hold menu and connect to pc led should be blue, if not try reinstalling the drivers. Tbh flashtool handles fastboot too, I don't know why less experienced people don't just use that, you can't make a mistake with the commands and it solves the driver issues.,

There are many threads that walk you through setting up fastboot, or if you in a hurry or too lazy to search use the fastboot toolbox included in flashtool.

Neo V Not entering into FastBoot
HI,
I have Sony Ericsson xperia Neo (MT11i 11W41). Couple of days before I received online update. I accepted, and downloading and installation started.
After that my mobile gone sleep mode. NO LCD Display not charging indication. Green led flashes on mobile charging, and orange 3 flashes on Power up.
I spent lot of time on net but could not find solution to power up my mobile. I did many firmware through flash tool, Zero point and S1 Tool But no solution.
Even I tried Emma, it displayed all information and shows “Phone is locked”.
Any help to solve this issue?
Hello ..
can U help me Plz
Ive SonyEricsson Xperia Arc S .. I couldnt run the bootloader on it
I opened the bootloader with Flashtool and Got the code and told me it was successfully opened
put it doesnt work >_<
Pressed the down Vol Button While booting
nothing happened
and installed an app that rebooting in a bootloader mode
but after all that
it just booting into the system directly
no bootloder at all :'(
Please help me and sorry for bad eng
So let me give a wild guess, by opening bootloader u meant unlocking bootloader, and by couldnt run bootloader on it u meant couldnt get into recovery. Heres the thing:
1- bootloader and recovery arent the same thing.
2- by unlocking bootloader wont automatically make recovery appear. U either have to install recovery from xparts or flash custom kernel that include recovery.

Hello, Please help!!!
I was trying to unlock my bootloader on my Xperia X10 with qsd8250_semc cmd. and Flashtool. after unlocking, my phone refused to boot up. It doesn't even show the usuall sony ericsson splash screen. When trying to flash back to stock firmware with flashtool, flashtool recognizes the phone when connected in flashmode, but then trying to flash, flashtools shows "Error flashing. Aborted" when it gets to 'Flashing Loader'. Please I need help. What do I do?

Hi mate just use Sony Ericson Update Service.
Google Seus, or Sony Ericson Update Service
Just download it and start it up, and then follow the instruction's on screen.
It's Very easy to go back to stock rom.
A lil more help please

Thanks for your reply. I tried using PC Companion to revert to stock rom. but it seems Sony PC companion only detects my phone in kind of an offline mode 'cuz it doesn't show my phone name after connecting in flash mode and then when I click 'Start' on the 'Update Software' module it just shows a blank screen with only 'Back' at the left corner. am I missing something? Please can anyone help me with a step by step procedure on how to go about it

I copy and pasted this from another post of mine
Depending on what version of Flashtool you use! Get this one - flashtool-0.9.10.1-windows
Install flashtool and driver's from flashtool folder.
Connect and make sure your phone is recognised
Click the padlock symble to root your phone. If anyone else is doing this, as you said your already rooted
If you want to install recovery you can! click on the white cross on black background symble second from the right.
If your Bootloader is not unlocked click plugins you can unlock bootloader from there. Check if its Possible for your phone!
If it is already unlocked you wont get the menu from plugins.
Remember google is your friend find that version of flashtool - S1 tool
And use S1 tool to check if you can unlock your bootloader someone may know another tool
Goodluck

There are many ways to get your phone into working condition.
1. The first thing you should do is, try repairing your phone through PC companion.
2. If your fastboot mode is working and have unlocked bootloader, try flashing stock ftf ROM into your phone via flashtool.
3. Try flashing recoveries via fastboot and then clean reflashing ROM
Let me know if you have problem with above
Regards,

pc companion can't find phone
flashtool (emma i found it on sony site) is not supporting xperia m
Is there any specific error, when you connect your phone to computer?
Try factory resetting phone through stock recovery. It might help you.
