Ok. So I have to put a stock rom, this root stock rom again and then try to install the Rom MoonBreaker.
Two more things: I do not have stock rom JellyBean, but could not find the forum. And most importantly: the kernel installed on my device works on any rom or any rom have to be a specific kernel?
Sorry for many questions.
Annex Photo kernel version.

@Isak_Rz
Just look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938296
Flash the JB 1.100 ftf with flashtool and you dont need root for it and after flashing that ftf you can root it and install cwm ( The one for ICS works also on JB ) then you can flash any JB custom for locked bootloaders !!
Search and read before posting a new thread then you will learn and please dont post questions after questions !!

[Q] Xperia neo wont turn on

So basically I tried to flash Ice Cream Sandwich onto my neo. I cant find the exact thread I used now but I remember flashing the kernel then installing the .zip. Then the phone would either get stuck in a continous boot loop for freeze on the xperia logo.
I then tried different kernels which none worked, then I used a different rom which didnt work and then I managed to install the ftf file for the original rom on my neo which was MT15i_4.0.A.2.368_HK , when I turned my phone on I was asked to update so I did and my phone turned off and it wont turn on at all. It is rooted and I had unlocked the boot loader.
Thanks for the help.
You unlocked your BL via official way, sony's page, right? And then you did OTA update, and because of that now you have brick.

You never said how you unlocked your BL.
Now after you flashed that fix your phone is being recognized as neo, so I'm not sure what would pc companion do when it see your neo with ICS, as it knows there is no ICS for neo.
Anw, just follow XDA and you will have instructions
My bad people, above patch from emannxperia for Neo will work, but it have some tweeks inside of it. So if you wanna clean build.prop

There is still no root for 4.0.4, if you had rooted ICS 4.0.3 then do the OTA (overthe air) but thats to late for you i think

then flashed to 404 without wipe,. hope its work
Boot loader unlocked?
If yes just flash night elfs rc 5 kernel and install super user zip via cwm
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
How I did it using flashtool:
Update to 4.0.4
Now flash the kernel from 4.0.3 (very unstable, but it doesn't mind because we will just use this to root the phone)
Once you have rooted your phone with the 4.0.3 kernel, select the 4.0.4 full firmware in flashtool, and check "Exclude system" and "exclude baseband", flash it, and you have 4.0.4 rooted.
I hope it helps

[Q] Reboot problem, rooted phone with two installed apps by cwm :/

Hi all!
(Well, I have to start with that I'm hungarian so sorry for my english.)
I dont know if anyone has already mentioned this problem in other threads but i didnt find any. So my problem is that I rooted my phone with changing kernel (neoV 4.0.3) after that rooting and after rooting upgrading the latest mini pro kernel in my phone (4.1.B.0.587).
There was no problem i have managed to root my phone. After that i downloaded the cwm auto installer app from play and installed cwm. After that i installed two apps with cwm, exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705352&highlight=root
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695048
After these steps i realised that my girlfriend wanted to call me but it was a missed call so i tried to call her back. And HERE IS THE PROBLEM: when i touch on the button with the green phone icon before starting to call anyone my phone collapsed and reboots itself.
Well i dont know if the problem comes from the root (maybe i did something wrong but got good result) or from the 2 apps installed with cwm and there i made some mistakes :/ well i dont know i think i did everything well but as i said i really dont know what the problem is.
Please help me!! Thank you in advance
Post the links of those two apps properly... Unable to click them directly
And as you said your phone is NEO V or Mini Pro
then why did you upload the "neo v" "latest mini pro kernel" :what::sly::banghead:
Specify your phone and kernel properly or upload a screenshot
And if you have you have installed mini pro kernel in neo V or vice versa
Then flash stock firmware via flashtool
Sent from my Smultron running CM10
I have mini pro(sk17i), but as you know mini pros dont have 4.0.3 kernel and rom cause the first ics was the 4.0.4 so i just chose a random 4.0.3 kernel (neov) and rooted that one and after the root i put the original sk17i kernel 4.1.B.0.587 back. and after that i got root permissions in my 4.0.4 ics phone with its official latest kernel. Thats all. I just followed the steps to root. and now you can see the apps' urls

I think you installed an inappropriate kernel for your device...
Download the stock firmware for your device... Flash it via Flashtool
Then again unlock your bootloader
And this time install any supported kernel like Kamarush v3 or Kernel Panic... I mean any prerooted kernel... And after you get root access just switch to latest firmware... And .587 is whole new stock firmware Not kernel...

but i also havent tried to install that app which you Predator offered me :/ im afraid of having another problem :/ and i also dont know if my phone (sk17i) is capable of running walkman player app or such as walkman player :/ pls correct me if im right or not
Hmmmmm.....
1.flash stock firmware into your XMP...
2.unlock the bootloader...
3.flash any custom kernel that have pre-rooted and CWM....
4.problem solved....
Btw, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't flashing other kernel (neo v in your case) is proof that your phone bootloader is already unlock????
My bootloader is not unlocked because im having a vodafone phone so not an unlocked phone :/ And i heard that unlocking a locked phone is very difficult and dangerous :/ ....

I think you just need to persevere. I took me about 4 hours to get my Sony Sola to root with the above instructions, really hard work as the phone is nigh on unusable after flashing with 6.1.1.B.1.10 .
First Time I did it every thing seemed to go fine, I selected the backup on the Sola as promoted by Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry and restarted, then re flashed with 6.1.1.B.1.54 but it wasn't rooted.
I did it all again, but for the next few hours the backup restore would not appear on my phone screen, I would just get a black screen and occasionally i would be able to power off (i say occasionally as after flashing with 10, hardly anything works on the phone, and the touch screen never works), other times i had to use the volume done button and power button to re-start the phone, then would have to get it to start up without booting - just going into the charge screen - so i could eventually power it down to re-flash with 54!
Any way after doing the process over, and over again for about 4 hours, i gave up. Tried again the next morning and it worked first time! I didn't even have to select to restore the back up, or power off on the phone, it all seemed to do it for me!
Just keep trying hopefully you will get there.:good:
1.Try to reflash whole ICS ftf,around 500MB.Means install ICS again,or repair your phone using Sony PC Companion
2.After finish, download these three things http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029756
3.Go to computer/local disk c/flashtool,then drivers,install drivers,choose Xperia P,U,sola drivers and fastboot,flashmode
4.After finished installing drivers reboot your computer
5.After reboot flash .10 firmware using flashtool
6.Root using Bin4ry's method
7.You should see Supersu app in app drawer
7.At last flash .54 firmware
8.Done. :laugh:
Hope this method help.

Need help with a ROM

Hey guys, I have an Xperia Z2 D6503 with Android 5.1.1 FW 23.4.A.1.200 non-rooted with LB

In the instructions it only says to flash it from recovery and wipe data, and since it's stock based, i was wondering if i needed to root my phone or install a special recovery before flashing this room
Thanks in advance
You don't need to root, but you do need to unlock your boot loader to be able to flash anything that isn't flashed with Sony's own tools and have their signatures.
You migt need to load a different recovery (i.e. twrp or cwm). I can't say for sure.
dont forget to save drm keys first..... I really miss the sony camera, i didnt save the keys and now the camera performance is not as good as before. Tbh u will prefer the stock more.

Follow this instructions
First download 23.1.A.1.28 ftf and flash it using flashtool. Or download any kitkat ftf and flash it via flashtool. Then root it and install NUT dual recovery. Then move the rom u want to flash to ur phone and enter recovery. Wipe data factory reset and flash rom. Then reboot.. Thats it. U don't need to unlock ur bootloader..
If u don't know how to downgrade u can simply see a YouTube video. There is lot of tutorials available in xda or YouTubes.
U can't root 5.1.1 directly if u are on a LB. So follow my method and enjoy a stock deodexed rom..

If u don't know how to downgrade u can simply see a YouTube video. There is lot of tutorials available in xda or YouTubes.
U can't root 5.1.1 directly if u are on a LB. So follow my method and enjoy a stock deodexed rom..
Here is a rooting method

hi bro,
just one question:
i unlocked my BL but i am on stock ROM (and of course i saved my DRM-keys before )
So relocking my device will bring back the bravia engine etc?
Or is a complete reinstall after relocking needed?
thx

Simply restore ur DRM key using TA backup tool. Make sure u don't have a custom kernel installed

He asked about a stock rom. He doesn't need to unlock his bootloader. He can simply downgrade and root then install recovery and flash that stock deodexed rom. Only CM and AOSP based roms need unlocked bootloader. All the sony stock based roms can install in a LB..
