m really sorry as i said m a noob please clearify i didnt get u!!
Easiest way is to repair it with pc companion. Install pc companion on Sony Ericsson website, if you don't have it
Do you have root access (if you haven't done this yourself, you wont have it)?

Go into xrecovery (keep hitting back button when u first turn phone on till it appears) then find fix permissions (I think it on advanced) volume controls scroll up/down, home (middle) button selects. Try that and let me know if it helps

I think you might try custom roms available on developer threat as most of them have the basics tweaks and optimisations. I personally recommend this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16477883 rom for it is easy to understand instruction for newbie. Cheers.

I really want to help you and will give you the steps to have a smooth phone like mine
Sent from my SO-01C using xda premium
I recommend you sync your contacts with Google sync, back up your stuff with titanium back up free which is on the market. (note after you've flashed the ROM which has a kernel built into the ROM you will need to install titanium back up again to restore all the stuff you backed up)
. It is a very fast and smooth ROM I am using ATM. Okay go into xrecovery by starting your phone up and when you see the Sony Ericsson logo, keep pressing the back button.
Now you're in x recovery Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe cache partition and do full factory wipe. Then go to install custom zip.

Do a clean install, the cleanest as u can:
01. Format your SD Card
02. Repair x10 in PC Companion
03. Root and instal xrecovery in the newest flash tool
04. Put some rom on Your SD Card (Im using Wolf ver 4.0.4s. Ive tested all roms here and like it the most i could give u some links)
05. Flash it in xrecovery
06. Reboot the fone it should be smooth like hell

I am having a strange situation that I switched on Bluetooth, then my Neo V went into a reboot loop.
I've modified framework-res.apk a few weeks before (to add usb storage), but everything's normal as normal until I switched on Bluetooth today and it crashed. It will boot into Android (again) and I can see the lock screen, before it reboots again.
I try to enter recovery and replaced the original framework-res.apk but still reboot loop. I then cleared cache and dalvik-cache, and the boot just after that is fine. I can use the phone after the dalvik-cache is rebuilt. But then when I reboot it went into a reboot loop again!!!
I try to use the PC Companion to recover, but I don't know if it is due to the pending update to .587 it didn't even want to recover.
Anyone have any idea how to fix it?
P.S. I am using .431 official, unlocked bl and rooted.
I'm experiencing the same on my Galaxy Nexus. Very annoying.
Unlocked why u asking questions take it as its fked flash any ROM to fix
Sent from my Xperia neo using xda premium
Well I know that this forum isn't for GNex but I'll still continue the discussion. It probably isn't a fked ROM as it happened on ICS as well as JellyBean. Both the time I tried switching the BT on via Notification Toggle.
Yer I heard of it before more like missing pngs or error in compile or something just flash different ROM
Peace chris

I'm having the same problem on HTC HD2 with Tytung's JB v1.3a. Turned on BT in Notification box and is now bootlooping. Doesn't even get to lockscreen, just stuck in Cyanogenmod 10.
Can't find any solution on XDA other than the above. Flash new rom or factory reset. I read on another thread (In which I can't publish because I'm a new user) someone has the same problem with an HD2 on tytung's ICS. Could this be hardware related?
Anyone can offer a permanent fix for BT bootloop?
I have tried the following:
re-flash mod with Dalvik wipe (doesn't work)
wipe Dalvik and /cache from CWM (doesn't work)
Now re-flashing rom with factory reset. :crying:
If you find a solution for it then please inform me too.

Try to replace your Bluetooth.apk

Do this once you do a clean install and post results!
Maybe the Bluetooth gets corrupted!

I just have to replace the apk, right?
Well I just activated bluetooth and it's working fine. I haven't replaced the APK yet. The problem is that most times bluetooth works fine but sometimes it goes to a bootloop.
Even if I replace it, I won't be able to confirm whether the problem is fixed or not.

Installed X-Parts

Located the Rom I wanted to install, installed it, went to 100% ticked reboot. Now my phone is stuck at the Sony Logo
Any ideas?
I think i've managed to unbrick it and restore it to the official stock ROM. really confused as why it got bricked in the first place...I selected all the correct options on the rom very confused, I think I'm not going to risk another attempt at Xperia Ultimate HD ROM. Can anyone see where I went wrong?

Bad wipes? You should read installation instructions. Usually is wipe data, wipe cache, format system, wipe dalvik, and then install
You unlocked it right? Get a custom kernel wipe every partition and start again

Hi!
I was wondering, before I do something stupid , if there's any problem on doing an advanced restore, restoring only data, so I could get my apps, contacts, etc on my just flashed ROM Cyanogen Mod 9, for locked bootloader. I have two nandroid backups, one with the stock ROM ICS 6.1.1.B.1.10, and the other with a custom rom, I think called ZXperience.
So, can I do a data restore easily without messing anything?
Thanks!
PS: I'm using Sony Xperia U
Depends on cwm version, if it's 6 then you can't but if below then you can

Hello. This is my first post here so forgive me if i done or post it wrong.
In short i have updated phone from gb 6.0.B.1.564 to Ics 6.1.1.C.1.0 via pcc and it is from then acting very poorly in comparison to before, very laggy and slow in general. What id like to know now is what is best to do? I have heard there is some new latest firmware released for xu ics, is it possible for me to get that, and is it improved a bit performance? If nothing, can someone pls point me how to downgrade back to gb, or maybe suggest something else? Just so you know, my phone is not rooted and it has locked bootloader.

Hi zig , firstly I will not suggest u to downgrade ur phone secondly do one thing to make ur phone processing faster.... Go to settings>apps>all> click the app and on the top right u will see an option ''disable'' , disable the preinstalled apps which u don't use like ''Google +,email,gmail,talk,fb,office suite,top contacts,retail demo, recommender,maps ,Google chrome,exchange services'' restart ur phone and then use..... Let me know how is it working.
Yea there is one more new update of Xperia u and that new ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 version is good....it's bug free ,I would like u to upgrade it.

Hey tyvm for a quick answer. I have done what you told me, except ofc the ones i use and exchange services, cos i dont know what it is, but im guessing its for incoming mails or messages maybe. It improved a bit, but it is still kinda laggy. The thing that is worrying me is a battery draining, it goes down rly fast. I know about the update you mentioned, but there seems to be even more new then that 6.1.1.b1.100. In any case how can i upgrade to those, be it new or older firmware? They are not listed in pcc, it sais its up to date with this last one i did. Thank you again for help.

To get a real lag reduction and battery drain issue, I suggest you to root atleast (without unlocking your boot loader which does not void your warranty).
For that you need flashtools from there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933985
However, B.1.100 is slightly better than the previous version
So to try that, flash it with flashtools, you can find the download link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430
You do not require root to flash Sony stock ROMs.
Another better alternative is to flash custom ROMs for locked bootloader,
My personal suggest, go for SlimCM ROM, pretty stable and snappier.

So in essence i can flash newest stock B.1.100 without root, and not losing the waranty (subquestion only unlocking the bootloader voids waranty, but root no? I am asking this cos i do seem to remember but i might be wrong that root can also void it, and i wanna be sure . But if i decide to go for custom ROM which you suggested do i need root for that? With root i can remove loads of stuff which i cannot do now, so thats why the lag is much lesser?

Yes you can attain root access without unlocking your boot loader.
Use flashtool method or Bin4ry's method.
Again yes, you can flash SONY STOCK fw using flashtools (without root or unlocking) in flashmode (just keep in mind to "exclude TA")
Once you are rooted you can install apps such as greenify that really helps to last the battery longer.
Also you could remove the bloatware and other useless apps.
Or you even you can make choices to install Custom ROMs for locked bootloaders. Just check the development section.
This is my personal suggest: SlimCM ROM.
Though its CM9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143750
See the instructions for locked boot loaders.
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
To root fw C.1.0 or any later versions, you need to
-flash the kernel alone of B.1.0.
-follow root procedure by flashtool or Bin4ry method.
-Then flash back the corresponding kernel of the ROM.
Done

Ty for all the suggestions. I rly appreciate it. Think i will go for what u suggested first, slimCM. I checked it and it looks nice.. Althou some things are not so clear to me. In both instructions, for slimCM and in patch for locked bootloader it says wipe data or factory reset in recovery. What is recovery? And it also mentions to do the backup of my current ROM. How shall i do that. Wipe data and factory reset means all data gone from phone so i should backup at least photos, music and sms-es to my pc or some app.

That's where you can find recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020897
CWM recovery is required to flash custom ROMs or MODs etc.
You can find the wipe data, cache options in the recovery menu. Just back up your contacts, messages and things.
Nothing from SD card will be lost.
Do carefully patch the ROM as per the instructions to make it into locked bootloader.
Copy that zip file in SD card and enter CWM recovery
-flash ROM
Done !

heyyy
U can root ur device with out touching bootloader dats pretty easier....
but remember after rooting u need to install cwm recovery bcz its used to flash custom roms and rem u can also take take backup of ur entire rom
if anything goes wrong during flashing custom u can easily restore ur device to normal..... by using back up....
flash b.1.10 rom bcz it can be easily rooted by using flashtool......
So finally the process is root first, second recovery and finally flashing rom of ur choice.....
There are so many ROMS in dev section for locked bootloader......
njoyyyyyyyyy............
I ll attach CWM recovery files download and extract.... In the extract folder double click install(.bat file) make sure device connected with debugging mode on..... accept all superuser request on device........aft rooting u ll get super user app in apptry
PM if any difficulty

Here's the Rooting Process for you.
This Rooting guide applies to all FW versions above B.1.10. (i.e. B.1.54/C.1.0/B.1.75/B.1.189/B.1.100)
1) Open Flashtool.
2) Click the Flash icon.
3) Select Flash Mode. (Make sure USB Debugging is ON in your Mobile Settings before connecting to PC)
4) Select & Flash the B.1.10 kernel. Then Reboot.
5) Select the Un-Lock icon and choose your preferred SU app & proceed.
6) Follow the on-screen instructions.
7) Now you have rooted your device.
8) Flash the kernel of your respective FW from the FTF file through Flash Mode and let the device reboot.
