You are out of luck dude.since your bootloader is locked, you can install a limited number of custom roms.

If you unlock your bootloader the official way, you can install a lot of roms around here, but you will loose warranty and the DRM.
There is also a way to unlock it via testpoint method, you don´t loose your DRM
I unlocked my bootloader the offical way, i dont use DRM, and i can install all that wonderfull custom kernels here, many of them make your phone much smoother and safes battery, thats why i unlocked my BL
If you have unlocked bootloader you can flash a kernel only, like KRsH Kernel ICS 3.0, this kernel will root your .587 on first boot easy way to root yout phone, but remember you need unlocked bootloader and this will void your warranty and you will loose DRM (depends on the way you choose to unlock your BL)
For me, i prefer this way rooting my stock FW.

Thanks for your rply bro. actually am not lazy .. really i already read most of the topics .. got some knowledge but still am confused.Actually am afraid because if i did anything wrong without actual knowledge there is a chance of getting my phone destructed wr8??
We all started out with no knowledge about anything, right?
My suggestion is to Read.... Read.... Read.... And then when you are all tired from reading, read some more. Be sure to look at the stickies in the forum.

sure bro. am not tired of reading.. jus lil confused .Dats y i created thread specifying my device's configuration hoping some one will exactly post how to root it
You are the rude one by acknowledging that there are guides out there and decide to open a thread instead of doing like everyone else did, search, learn, search some more, act. I rooted my phone 3 days after getting it when there was half of the guides out there atm, and with little to no knowledge about android, and i am not some sort of super-genius, i can assure you that.
Here it's all explained along with a nice android dictonary http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
And this is a thread started by mihan especially for noobs (and it starts by saying "i know there's lots of guides but people keep asking so here's one more") http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
As a matter of fact you got bashed by pretty much everyone who replied.
The info is all out there, if after all that you still don't underastand what root is or have doubts about it perhaps it's not a path you should follow.
As zeppelinrox says "calling yourself a noob is no excuse, do like everyone else of us did, search and learn, it's all out there", if you encounter problems following root then people will be there to help, but your thread sounds a lot like "guys, how do i power on my phone? i can't be bothered reading the instruction manual" and that is rude, disrespectful and demotivating towards all the people who took time to make the aforementioned guides (btw, i only took the first two sticjkies of this post, and all is explained there, there's no need to search further).

How to install flash player.....
I know it is not there but there is no way.??
There is a pretty old site called google for questions. Try it out once in a while.
Stop spamming the forums with repeated questions.
To your question about adb, I had already replied to a different post you had created yesterday. What is the point of asking the same questions again and again without checking the responses to your previous posts.
Having read 3 of the threads you have created in the last 2 days(all of them very similar), you seem like a guy out to exploit the goodwill of other users on this forum and one who is incapable of following even the simplest of instructions.
And
Please don't create a new thread asking for the expansion of 'adb'.

i was going to get all info and links and post a easy 123 step method for locked bootloader 2.3.4 neo with 62 fw.
like this. (just example idk what comes first or what to do yet)
1) download this (*****)
2) download that (*****)
3)put (***) in the folder named (*****)
4) connect phone in flash mode
5)flash this and that
6) done. you can now put roms on and you have full root access..
i suggest use pandemics answer thank him and grant him best wishes with his work maybe donate him.
i will also post a list of roms that work with locked bootloader, maybe an ics version or 2
Basically i make this for simple instructions to get root cwm and rom. i will work hard to try make this good very very noob guide,
I see your xtra noob guide. after downloading and doing as you say will that give me root cwm and custom rom? have you got list of roms i can use if i root neo with your guide?
It's not hard to understand, but just you are lazy to try understand.
How can: flash .42, root, OTA (optionally flash .62 kernel) be hard to understand? What can be more simpler/noob prof than this?
Things aren't complicated, it just need to take some free time to TRY understanding them.
If all this is to complicated, only 1,2,3 which I can suggest is:
1)turn on phone
2)use it stock
3)turn it off

don't be lazy, go trough dev section and check yourself what rom's are for locked BL's.
it's not hard, actually most of them have word locked or unlocked in their title.
This is not for me i know this. i root my old phone, i am experience enough to cook my own rom on my old phone i also rite simple android apps so i know this. i do this for someone who not had android before i want nice simple instruction for them without the corporate mumbo jumbo

I don't know your earlier experience and knowledge, but based on your questions in this thread, you don't know how to do it, or it's hard for you to understand. (to lazy to quote each of your sentence with question). Maybe I'm wrong, but I just reply on your posts.
Also, making instruction even more simplified(then the one on Pandemic link) we are making zoombies out of people, who don't use their heads to think and try to understand something. People becoming to lazy these days.
I dont think its lazy, i work with zombies that need zombie noob guides lol.
i am not lazy i do this for the community that want easy answer and list of roms for locked bootloaders (i am now searching and editing my posts with roms i find) please see my second post

First, welcome to XDA.
Secondly, after you spend some time here you will notice that this is not a spoon feed forum, you need to read, read and learn. And if you don't understand something, ask. Use the existing threads so information doesn't spread to much around.
Also you will notice sticky threads, which are not sticky just for fun, but rather for people to read them before they start asking questions.
One of those sticky thread even deals with your question. And I don't understand why you didn't read it.
Although one thread isn't sticky, so I will help you on that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509

If you don't understand something, ask, but there is no point in repeating over and over again. Ask specific things which you don't understand.
and about CWM link, don't worry(that post needs to be updated), I wouldn't give you that link if I'm not sure it's working
just use install-cwm1.cmd, it will give you CWM on whatever version you are.

meh, I really need to add that in that post..
kernel doesn't change build number, only thing that can be changed is kernel version, but in this case, both kernels have same version numbers.
just continue with process

Erm, how is sd card size related to your questions?
Anw, you can buy whatever card you want. i have 10gb class10, and no problem with it.

ether flash it from CWM recovery, or manually copy/paste file by file to system.... and change permissions
you don't need unlocked BL.

Lol i wanted to ask,can i have sd class 10.
About drivers,they go in system folder?
And 1 last thing i wanted to ask is about making partition to increase ram,is that possible?

Since you are asking about those drivers, I take it that you already downloaded them. Then, have you tried to open that zip?

I doubt it's a last one but ok..
About your last question, I never tried it so I can't help you much, someone else will I guess.
There are some methods to make swap on sdcard(which I don't suggest), maybe there are some script to have swap on system/data partition, not sure, also you can try supercharger(search for it)

yeah,i have and unzipped it.im on phone now but i think there was some meta folder and one more folder dk where should i place them
Yeah,ill check supercharger..
And last i dont want to leave you in doubt so one more question =D
Is it true that neo v does have only 335 ram available? Beacuse i checked review and there was written 512.so is there chance to get more free ram out of phone?
META folder, you don't need to look, it's there so that (among other things) CWM recovery knows what to do with that pack.
Where to place them? In same place as they are organized in that zip. second folder in that zip is system, and you have partition on your phone called system, now you just move them from one place to another, and respect the original path in zip. now you get the picture?
If I may advise, flash that zip in recovery and practice on something else.
RAM? well something goes for the system, rest is for usage, preinstalled apps and other stuff you do on your phone.
What exactly is in those 512-335, I'm not sure.
Tnx for all your help.just one more question can i install cwm with easy method or i nees to place files and do permission thing?

You can use which ever method you like. Though some people had problem with installing it trough x-Parts.
Anw, I already gave you advice, few posts above, which version to use.
i used easy method and it worked..about adreno drivers,i onstall them as zip from sd card,right?

He wasn't rude, he was just trying to tell that you didn't give as much info as it was needed.
About your problem, download flashtool and download .ftf (I suggest Nordic region) and flash it. Everything can be found in dev sections, or in sticky thread in general section.

Flash it with correct firmware, get the fw's from sticky thread in general section.
btw. edit thread title to reflect your problem, as current one is so generic that it can be used on 90% threads here

Why are you sending PM's, we have forum, there are smarter people here and will solve your problem faster if more of us discuss about it.
First you said that you have problems with keyboard, then you said you followed this instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/08/how-to-root-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-mt15i/
On those instructions I only see how to root your phone, which includes flashing MT11i kernel.
Now hear this. If you said all this info before, you would get your solution by now.
Flashing MT11i kernel on MT15i gives that error. And I would have told you that if you gave all the info you have. And no need to go around the web for instructions, everything you need is here, if you had checked this (sticky) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 you would noticed that flashing only kernel cause errors.
For start flash your phone with correct fw, to solve your initial question, then go on next exhibitions
And please use forum, it will be faster
nah sorry for all the issues and problems im done forget this thread please and delete my account im not doing this.time for a new phone.peace
