Back to stock - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Guys I need your help.
I have the custom rom Xperia pureness from Thilinac...
But I have big problems... Lag everywhere... WiFi problems... Camera quality sucks...
I want to get back to a stock Rom. 2.3.4 or 4.0.4 because they where very smooth( 2.3.4 was awesome). How I can do that?? I can't install cwm. Basically I download the files but when I try to boot to recovery to wipe data etc and installs the stock Rom the cwm doesn't work. I press the down volume button but nothing... I don't know if this is the correct way to get back to stock Rom... Plz help me.

Why the two post looks same?
Anyway, if you want to roll back to stock rom, just simply flash the stock ftf firmware with flashtool
And one more thing, please search it first before posting questions

First close your phone (Make sure that your phone is close). Put USB to cable and then while pressing back button plug in the cable to your phone. And then flash the ftf file. Thats all. If you skip any step it won't connect to phone.

There is no point i think...
Why do you want to return back to stock .... i assume that u have bootloader unlocked right ?
If yes Just try flashing another Rom ... If that rom just dont fit for you that doesnt mean that others will be the same , i also had same problems
when i did my first steps with my Neo v however now i destroy it and rebuilt it every week , Just check some other roms and use their kernels
Im pretty sure that you will find something that will suit you and u will be pleased by how smooth and light it is!:laugh:

then try to use Unloack bootloader Flashtool ((EMMA just like SEUS )) its flash GB and then u try to flash ICS

[Q] Help me the Custom rom don't work on my Neo.

I have my Neo from a few months and I'm so proud of it. But, in the lasts week, I'm excited to receive the ICS update, so I can't wait and I tried to flash some custom rom on my NEO. First of all I have the .42 firmware stock with root and CWM installed with bootloader locked.
Before i tried to flash a custom Rom, I have unlocked the bootloader. And everything going well, but I try to flash 2 different Custom Rom both with the same result: in the reboot after the flash the NEo is stucked on the Sony Ericsson boot logo animation for an indefinite time, and i don't do nothing except to unplug the battery. So i return to the stock rom using flashtool.
But I really want to tried this custom rom based on ICS, anyone can hellp me?

I think the problem is my CWM, because now I'm trying to install the PWN kernel, and the installation trough fastboot is ok, I flash the modules to fix the wifi but the wifi don't work. Any suggestion?

i think the problem is causing because ur r flashing ICS custom rom directly on GB... flash stock ICS ftf file using flashtool, flash any custom kernel in fastboot mode using flashtool suitable for the ROM u want to flash (custom kernels has built in CWM), then goto CWM, wipe everything, flash the ROM, done... now that should work..
goto Settings > about phone > baseband to check the baseband's version

[HELP] [SERIOUS PROBLEM] i cant install roms on my neo v !!!

hi, recently i have installed some MIUI rom on my neo v, and was working perfect. but i wanted to go back to the stock roms, but i had a problem, and it was that it would take about 2 hours for every percent (using flashtool) !!! so i tried changing kernels, and the problem presisted, until i dont know how, i removed the kernel, and i couldn't install one again cuz it said that for doing so, i need to root my phone.
so basically, i have a phone without kernel and rom! can anyone help me fix it?
You don't need to root your phone to flash kernels. Flash kernels using fastboot. Do you have a nandroid backup?
Flash a stock ftf, sounds like you might have relocked your bootloader

well im only trying to flash a stock ftf, but im having the problem i said before!
and i have tried to do it in locked and unlocked bootloader, but there was no difference!
how many pc programs are there that can flash a rom?
is there any that can flash MIUI or CM roms (i mean zip ones)?
Flashtool for flash firmware like FTF file or flash kernel.
Fastboot for flash kernel only.
CWM for flash ROM through SD Card.
If u want revert back to stock.u will need FTF file and the right one flashtool...tick no verification final.
Sorry for my English

i m using unofficial way,the Test Point Method,S1tool.
on the other way official method,search from sony sites...
I'll attempt helping
Let's start with flashing a Stock ftf. U have one already. Use flashtool and do all as instructed. Untick Final Verification. Even if it is 2 hours per percent, just let it run. Perhaps your PC is slow.
And don't worry about battery running out. Did you know that when using recovery, if you remove the battery while the phone is still plugged into the computer, it won't turn off? It should be the same when using flashtool. Don't worry about battery
Once done, boot up your phone to check everything is done. If this worked, PM me, and I'll guide you through a MIUI flash.
You're welcome
1 more thing. Redownload the ftf. Maybe it is buggy.
Hey bro.
Is it fixed? Please let us know
sorry for being late to response!
good news, i fixed it! I dont know why i didn't try it sooner, but i tried flashing it with another pc, and it worked!
now i want some good roms for it,preferably based on JB. what are the bests out there?
BTW, Jass, your theory about "infinite battery while connected to pc" didn't turned out to be true, and it made me buy a direct charger! so please do not do this at home, school or...
when flashing ftf roms check in log to see if it gets stuck in this message [Ending Flash Session] (cuz it wont continue flash anymore)
if yes
plug out the usb
restarst your computer
try different usb ports

1. Try to get a charged battery for your xmp.
2. Get the required stock rom(.ftf file) from here : forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27376024&postcount=3
3. Using flashtool flash the rom. :silly:
4. If you see your homescreen you are successful. :laugh:
P.S. : Download the latest flashtool and install all the drivers and do the flashing correctly (don't unplug the phone during flashing) or you may end in a hard brick.
Hope I helped you,

UR welcome buddy :laugh:
whenever you install a rom and then a kernel, keep one thing in mind, ics roms need ics based kernels and every rom does not support every kernel.. so if you have an incompatible kernel-rom combination, then your phone will be stuck at the logo.. The either you could find a kernel that supports your rom or you can simply flash the stock rom back and be happy...
This is a typical error when u try to use a wrong boot loader IMG (boot.IMG) that u are using is motu supported so try a different boot. IMG and c if it solves ur purpose

I have the same problem. Im installing the right kernell!

[Q] Custom rom in locked xperia U?

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

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?
