I did it SUCCESSFULLY!!!:laugh:
Here are the steps..
1.Turn off your device.
2.Take battery out and dip it in water for 10 years!
3.Now insert back the battery and then hang your phone from a fan and start the fan.
4.While the fan is rotating in full speed connect your mobile to pc.
5.And then flash the kernel and rom using unflashtool.
6.Then do a full flip from a 10000000000 ft. building
Then u'll be successful(in bricking your device):silly:
Press THANKS if I HELPED,

Of course you will be able to restore it after flashing stock rom, rooting it and installing cwm

I'm most cases your phone maybe stuck at bootloop (but in some roms, maybe they don't even install without proper kernel) but if u flash the stock ftf file, then root and install cwm u can restore it...

[Q] Xperia Neo stuck at "SONY" logo when boot into CWM recovery

Hi everyone. Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem that i cant boot into CWM. I have Neo MT15i running FINE with stock rom ICS .587, locked bootloader and rooted. I also installed x-Parts as well as CWM 5.5 and busybox 1.20. But my problem is that my phone just cant boot into CWM recovery no matter what i did either press and release volume - continuously when "SONY" logo appears, or using x-Parts function to boot into recovery. It just ends up stuck at "SONY" logo (I waited for about 10 minutes but no respond).
*Any admin plz delete this thread? I'm sorry. I put it in wrong section. Thanks
insall CWM autoinstaller. X-parts has problems at install

Okay here's what happened.. I was on stock ICS 4.0.4 Rooted, CWM installed, tweaks and blah blah.. I came across this Increase system and data partition thread so decided to give a shot.. I made a mistake of flashing the wrong file or something and it went into a bootloop.. I thought it was just another bootloop and decided to go back to stock so I did the usual flashing and rooting kit technique and it was all fine, I even installed CWM(no errors) But when I try to boot into recovery, its not happening!
Its stuck at the SONY logo and goes no further. I have to remove the battery and start it again without pressing any buttons.
I made a backup and just want to restore to that. Help
Good news

I rooted (lock bootloader) my neo for the last 6 months using ics stock from sony, until i realized my HDMI not working, so i found custom "Ultimate HD" as my answer, and i did the "how to install.." steps, including install x-parts but failed, then i installed rom manager trying "install custom rom from sd" but again failed, so i tried cwm manual and again had the sam result as in x-parts (which is stuck in bootanimation after sony logo).
Hope you find better solutions

Hi.
I don't have Xperia Sola, but if you have access to your CWM it's a good ting if you before flash anything you made a backup of your phone using CWM.
Maybe you haven't made any backup of your phone, than you can try to download some custom rom's from this forum for Xperia Sola, if not you can try to find a stock rom for your phone. I'm sure it has been posted lot of Xperia Sola stock rom here, and you flash it by using flashtool.
Maybe you will found something here:

5:wait until stock rom boots the touch will be fixed
6:if touch screen fixed,press thanks button

Thing is: I don't know what rom initially broke the touchscreen since I got the phone in this condition, hoping for an easy fix
I don't think there's a way to tell what rom was on there....so my best bet is still random flashing, right?

Xperia mini PRO Custom ROM black screen

Hello,

You are in GB and those are for ICS. If you're on ICS, check if you did all the wipes, formatting system is highly important

No i relocked it because Flashtool said something about missing file. I don´t understand much. CWM is part of kernel (now i don´t mean X-parts CWM which i already have) ? I need this for warranty, because if i need repair phone i must clean all edits like root and relock bootloader.
Thanks again for response!
Ok.... If something goes wrong feel free to search the forum you'll find so many to help you......enjoy
