Hello, sorry for my bad english.
Try to simply use flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
lock bootloader and fix over SEUS, quickest and safest method.
Can you still connect the phone in fastboot mode or anything?

Okay. So tell me if you have root or not. If your bootloader is unlocked or not. If you have CWM installed or not?
(Before I help you: I just now broke one of my friend's LWW. I think it was me only. )

Okay. So here's what you as a normal Sony Customer do. Take your phone to the Sony Store. And he will repair it there. As it must be still under warranty.
On the other hand, if you want to play with warranty and want to fix it at home, then, download an application called flashtool from the internet. Using this tool, flash the ftf of .42 firmware on to your cell.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
Head over here and read the section called as downgrade. Here you will find all relevant files too.

No. He got it corrected now. .
He was trying to root a non rootable firmware in a new method as worked out by puppet13th.
The method should have worked in theory, but it did not due to lack of space in phone memory of Till's phone. And that's why it briked.
Now, puppet has worked on the problem, and has edited his project, such that the file which was causing the problem (this file was required for rooting), was removed soon after it did it's job of helping in the root process. .
Thanks,

I decided to start this thread because I think that we will never get root,because I bed that sony will fix security hole before it gives ICS to us,because same happened to Xperia X8 when Xperia X10 mini pro got update to eclair it could be rooted but for X8 with got one week later it couldnt.So think about it.
Anyway lets start.
We know few things that on SDCard we have recovery folder
And in system/xbin/ is watchdog with blocks any moving files to this directory or maybe whole system.
Smart idea will be to get oldest firmware and start tring on it some basic root method to see what we will get but there is no oldest firmware on internet so we have one way to get it.
UPDATE -----------------------------------------------
It looks that .564 is oldest firmware but if anyone have prototype,and could upload ftf file it would be good.
If you know something that can help us please report.
-----------------------------------------------
I done some progress in hope to root phone and it looks that zergrush work but adb fails to run in su mode.
-----------------------------------------------
Thanks for help,XperianPro
So... do you need firmware .564?
So, you know how to root it or you just guess how to do it..?!
P.S. Wasnt it mentioned somewhear that hwen we got ICS it would be rooted or it would be possible to root....
Theres older firmware than .564 and i dont know how to root it.

I think he started this to join heads and try to get somewere. For ics e didn´t that we could do root, but that sony MIGHT block the security breach that enable that root.
We need to read things slowly...

Not avaliable all of them. I need the oldest what avaliable in FTF. I'll try search it later.
Can someone who has free time and have xperia u pm me
EDIT: oh nvm
what about testpoint and those debug ports on the phone? maybe we can use them to acess the system?
i saw some metalic contacts on the zone of the removable cap, is it any kind of service/debug port?
I think is antena module
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
hum maybe you're right.. i don't see Sony putting debug ports so accessible, so yes...
There are actually 3 test points where the exchangeable cap is.
What are they used for? No idea.

If you.still see Sony Ericsson logo then it can be fix by using PC Companion or flashtool.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
If you cannot see the phone in flashtool you could also try to install the driverpack that is in the flashtool drivers folder... There are a lot of different drivers in that driverpack, including some generic ADB drivers.
(installing might take a while depending on your configuration)
good day guys ,
i'm a new user of xperia neo v , and i accidentally bricked my phone ..
as i browse that threads here in the forum, i found out the solution into this forum>>
"[Tutorial] Fix FOTA bricked (unlocked bootloader) Phones"
but the problem is, download site for the file was already down..
can someone with a generous heart give me that file ? i badly needed it :c
thanks in advance !
If you have unlocked bootloader using test point method, then simply relock bl and flash stock firmware again.

Hello guys,,
I'm not very noob, but i never faced this problem before!
My SE Xperia NEO V runs on GB 2.3..
And started to make probs suddenly, such as "Google play stopped unexpectedly" and "Google account stopped"
besides almost all services made the same error and became almost unusable.
I flashed it by flashtool latest version to GB .62 and then to .42
it worked well for 1 day then made the same errors!
I flashed JB with flashtool as well but also works for one day then everything collapse!
All that ended by that my neo v kept restarting and stucks every time on sony xperia screen the restart again.
I tried to flash again GB or JB but this time makes an error on 99% and dont continue and shows a yellow alarm triangle screen on the fone!!
that happen everytime i flash and nothing works.
I tried:
- flashtool
- sony PC companion
- SEUS
- emma "from sony"
NONE of them helped
My NEO V is unrooted & the bootloader is locked.
Please help me

Thank you! but i think its not possible to unlock BL in my case, because my phone isn't starting at all! but it keeps on rebooting after showing "xperia" logo.. Am i right?
U can unlock.. Search for the Sony official unlocking method on Google.. Everything is given over there.. As far as I remember it needs fastboot to work..

You don't need the phone on. Just remove the battery and the IMEI is the 15 digit number next to the S/N code. This number comes with dash, you have to take them out.
