Hi, i've tried two ways to unlock bootloader, by Flashtool and Xrecovery.
With flashtool I didn't get the message "Successfully applied unlock" but the phone rebooted anyway.
I triede pressing several times, the back button when the sonnyericson letters appear, tried always pressing and nothing.
Can anyone help me.
I can supply the flashtool log if necessary.
Thx
Anyone??? Do I have to do it all over again? What's the best way to re-do it?

The exact problem is I can't acess the bootlooder, when the phone is restarting.
I tried by both metod's: flashtool and xrecovery.

you mean you cannot access the x-recovery right..?? try the tool in my signature n install the CWM recovery from it.. After installing CWM recovery with the tool reboot your phone.. press the back button when sony ericsson logo comes and your done.. you can now flash Custom ROM's with CWM recovery..
Also, double check which baseband you have. It should end in x015 (x being the rest of the number). If not then you'll need to flash to the correct version. My minipro wouldnt enter xrecovery/cwm until it had been flashed to it, like you the backbutton did nothing and I couldnt find a solution for a few days.
My phone came shipped with android 1.6 and previous baseband. If you look around the forum for basebands you should be able to find it. Flash with flashtool.

Having the problem it iscoolbutton.ocx, tried the fix and still the sameproblem. My baseband ends in 15. When I run the Flashtool it gives this message:

And then phone restarts. Any ideas?
I've done it. Installed the E10_nAa-10_2.6.29.6-nAa-10 kernell and worked. Now the problem is does detect my SD Card.
Nothing that a Format to my SD card didn't solve.

I found the solution for my problem, I hope it helps somebody else.
steps:
1. download Flashtool-0.5.0.0beta (ask me if you want a link)
2. download s1tools (version doesn't matter)
3. install flashtool, and restart your computer (don't install gordon's gate yet0
4. plug in your turned on x10 mini(it needs to be in usb debug mode as well)
5. wait for flashtool to recognize it
6. on the menu click on plugins,unlock boot loader(or something similar),run
7.you will get some response like this:
Root Access Allowed
INFO - Searching Xperia....
ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode
you will get it multiple times, even a popup window indicating how to put your phone in flash mode.
8. unplug your phone and turn it off
9. now go to the directory where you installed falsh tool,drivers folder, and install gg(gg setupxxxx.exe)
10. now connect your device in flash mode(turned off, connect to pc while you hold the back button)
11. your phone will restart a couple times, just wait.
12. in my case the process ended when it rebooted in recovery mode(i had cwm recovery put in already),I manually rebooted, and voila !!!
BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED !!!!
13. run s1 tool and double check, you know, the cap letter and stuff, it shouldn't be cap anymore

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?
I am assuming your phone can be bootloader unlocked and you have unlocking key from sony.
If you don't know then refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
WARNING: IT WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE DATA SO MAKE BACKUP
1. Install Flashboot and Fastboot drivers of Flashtool (setup file will be on C:\Flashtool\drivers or similar place).
2. Turn on your phone, and connect with usb debugging on.
3. Go to Plugins-> Bootloader Unlock option, start it.
4. Now it will ask to disconnect your phone and reboot in FLASHMODE.
5. Again reboot your phone in FASTBOOT mode.
6. It will show a window with your IMEI number, insert your unlock key and click "unlock".
7. The device will reboot and you are done!
FLASHMODE
You can get into flashmode by pressing specific hardware key and connecting phone to pc via USB.
It will glow GREEN LIGHT on led if done correctly.
Hardware key-
Back Button (X8, X10, X10 mini, X10 mini pro, Play, Arc, Arc S, Neo, Neo V, Pro)
Volume Down Button (Xperia U,P,S,Sola)
FASTBOOT Mode
You get into fastboot mode by turning off your phone, then pressing the fastboot mode key button, and connecting the USB to your phone. Done correctly and you should see a BLUE LIGHT on the power button.
Hardware key-
Menu Botton (Xperia Arc, Arc S, Neo, Neo V, Pro)
Volume Up Botton (Xperia U,P,S,Sola)
Should the phone be turned off in flashmode??

yes, turn off your phone then connect USB while pressing specific key.
same applies for fastboot method
When I am installing drivers, I am getting "don't install or install anyway", I choose install anyway but the same window comes up again. Should my phone be turned on, off or in flashmode or something?

If you have installed Flashtools and its drivers correct you shouldn't get any driver prompts when plugging the phone in
Assuming you did a default install browse to C:\Flashtool\drivers and execute the drivers file. Make sure you select the drivers for you phone ie "Xperia U" and scroll to the bottom of the list and select Flashboot and Fastboot drivers. From what I have seen so far most people are not installing these 3 drivers.
karimkahale: I would go back to the Sony website and get your unlock code again. Maybe you entered some wrong details...
Please help me out,

Accidently lost all data as unlocking bootloader wipes data...forgot to take a backup but m happy.
Thank you for this tutorial mate!

Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
Thanks a million, but would my warranty be void immediately after I unlock the bootloader, what's the regulation about this matter, I'd like to keep my warranty.
---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------
If i relocked the boot loader the warranty wouldn't be void, right?
Not quite;
It all depends on your repairman...
The standard, though, is, that the warranty is valid if the guys at the repair center can flash a stock ROM (.ftf) onto the phone. Some phones can do this without their bootloader being locked, but some can't do this after their bootloaders are unlocked, even if they are locked back afterwards...
Now, I have a question:
I'm having the same error as karimkahale...
Whatever I do, I get that stupid error, and not even Sony can help me (their support team (that needs a week to reply to a simple e-mail) said that thy don't know how to help)...!
Thanks a lot for the guide, it was really helpful!
Cheers!

Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my neo v to 4.1 and this is the first time i'm doing it (rooting etc.) i;ve made it up till boot loader , now here i get problem with the fast boot mode.I've checked the flash mode and disconnected cable and then fast boot mode , it doesn't reboot. Flash tool detected that it is in fast boot mode. Now i just can't detect where i've made mistake.
Sorry but I don't see what is the actual problem here?
What do you mean it doesn't reboot?
Ohk! then can you let me know what does it mean by restart in fastboot mode , we have to do that by pressing menu button ha ?

You have the flashtool running and your phone switched off and disconnected. You connect the phone to the PC (using the USB cable) while pressing the menu button. You will see the blue led on and the flashtool we'll tell you the phone is connected in fastboot mode

OK. let's go step by step.
1. You have already unlocked the bootloader?
Tap: *#*#7378423#*#*
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then the boootloader is not unlocked yet, but you can do it. Follow the guide step by step.
If it says No, then no way you cannot unlock. Do some search on XDA. I know other people faced the same problem, but don't know if they could solve it.
2. This the Sony webpage for unlocking: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
It's the easiest way.
Note. On XDA you can find another method for unlocking, if status is YES.
Yes tried bro, but in CMD it says <waiting for device> , ive loaded all those adb driver etc.., do i need to unroot and do that thing ? or anyone outside does that ?

Hi guys,
I bricked my Sony Ericsson Neo V today trying to install CM 10.2. I hope someone can help me revive it. So this is what I did.
I installed Clockwork recovery and made a backup of the stock ROM.
Then I booted into recovery and wiped cache.
Then I tried to install CM 10.2 from 'install from zip' option.
I got a 'Status 7' error (assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")).
Then I made the stupid mistake of restarting my device without restoring my backup and now my phone wont go beyond the sony logo.
I have rooted the devices before but did not unlock the bootloader.
Now I tried to unlock the bootloader through fastboot but when I enter the command in cmd, all i get is <waiting for devices> and there is no response.
I tried to install recovery image through flashtool but invain. Flashtool says my device is connected in flashmode but it aborts flashing. This could be probably because windows tells me that the device is not recognised.
I have installed ADB drivers and Fastboot drivers. Nothing works. I am so frustrated. Could someone please help me. I am a novice at installing custom ROMs
