[Q] Neo V help - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

So I rooted my Xperia Neo V which was running on ICS by following the complete noob's guide here. After doing that, I wanted to install a custom rom (Jellybean) and kernel, however, I screwed up at this part. I only flashed the boot file of the rom without the kernel and after I was through with it, unplugged the data cable from my PC and started the phone. Now it boots up but all I can see is a black/bluish screen and a purple LED indicator at the start for a few secs. Can't even see any logo. It still goes into the flashboot mode when i connect it to the PC but I can't see anything on the screen, only the blue LED indicator. Has it been bricked or is there a way to revert to previous settings? I have the backup in my PC.

Blue led indicates it's in the fastboot mode - you can flash your kernel form there, then install ROM

You have the rom in your phone just fastboot flash the kernel using cmd as your phone is showing blue led that means you can flash kernel once you flash it, your phone will boot up normally.
The kernel you should use is that present in the zip file.
Hit "Thanks" if i helped.

[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)
You have to press Back button while booting from Sony Logo to boot into CWM.

same problem for me...xperia neo v
Hello.
I have a similar problem, if not identical. I rooted my MT15i today hoping to install a custom ROM I found in this forum.
Everything went fine. I rooted the phone and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery properly.
Then, I downloaded the rom .zip, placed it in /sdcard, made a backup of my current system, wiped data/ full reset and installed the ROM with SUCCESS, as it said in the log.
After that, I rebooted the phone and now it keep stuck in the "SONY" boot screen and won't change no matter what I do.
But I think I know why did this happen. I was following a tutorial found in another site. There was listed only to wipe data and full reset, and not to wipe danvik and cache, as I came to read after I was stuck in the boot screen.
The problem is that now I can't even get to the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen, even if I start the phone holding volume down button (or reset, or any other button the phone might have).
The only thing to do is removing the battery. After starting again, it gets stuck again in SONY screen.
When I plug the phone into my PC, nothing happens. It doesn't get recognised.
It only turns on and stops at the SONY screen again.
I wonder if there's a way to access the Clockwork Mod Recovery menu or some way to return the phone to the stock settings.
Or is it a possible brick?
Thanks for the help already.
Ps.: sorry for the long post.
First of all don't worry your device is not broken
And not every custom Rom support locked bootloader
The reason you can't access cwm because you wiped data
I think you can restore your phone by reflash firmware using flashtool

I can get the phone to conect to the PC in flashmode. I downloaded the stock firmware of Neo MT15i (v 4.1.A.0.562) and flashed it, but no luck. The phone keeps stuck in the SONY screen. Any ideas?
EDIT: actually, when I bought the phone, it came with Android 2.3, I don't remember the firmware version.

It doesn't matter which android version you flash all should work
make sure you checked those boxes in flashmode
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe apps log
No final verification
And just to know when you flashed the firmware. Does it completed successfully?

Well, I got the phone to boot. I was just trying to flash an incomplete firmware, I guess. I downloaded a new firmware I found in a rooting tutorial thread in this forum and flashed it. The phone is now working fine.
But now it's not rooted anymore. Maybe in the future I'll try to root and flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help, anyway. :laugh:
Never mind, but I suggest you unlock your bootloader if you would like to flash custom Rom

[Q] Is my Sola bricked?

TL,DR version:
A friend of mine has a Sony Xperia Sola which has been rooted a while ago and working on Unofficial CM9, now that he wanted a change of ROM,
i followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236413&highlight=enigma and downloaded Enigma 3.5, and "Next step", then i entered CWM and nandroid backed-up current ROM, then i wiped data, cache, dalvic and then, when i flashed Enigma 3.5...this is where problems occured...
The phone at first booted to the boot animation and then boot looped (took more than 15 minutes, assumed bootloop),
then i managed to enter CWM again, wiped everything, flashed Enigma, flashed next_step, same but this time it won't continue and bootloop, it just restarts the device in the middle of the animation screen...
So i tried to use Flashtool and flash stock .54 ROM, but it won't detect the device so tried to flash manually, extracted .ftf file...entered fastboot mode, and flashed system.sin, kernel.sin and userdata.sin....i followed steps given at a thread that only provided commands for only these three files and i assumed they were the most important ones (yeah...stupid move), i restarted, nothing changed at all...
Entered CWM recovery and waited for a ROM to be downloaded...and thought i should put the phone on charger...so switched it off and put on charger for half an hour or so...then when i tried to enter fastboot, it only blinks the LED in red for 10 times or so....and won't do anything other than that....
If i put the charger...the Sony logo appears and restarts...only to appear again, and the LED blinks red the first time only...
Fast Version:
Read the last couple of lines
Thanks for your patience in reading such a story...
Not important:
George...er7am mayteen ommy
Lol
It took me 5 mins to read twice and understand
Okay firstly all files are important
Secondly
Are u able to enter flashmode or fastboot mode???
If fastboot mode is accessible
Best way now to recover device would b to flash a custom kernel having cwm
Then flash a standalone rom like xperiance lite v3
Try this and report... If u get status 7 or failed to get prop error let me knw

I wish i could boot into fastboot....nothing ever happens than a blinking red LED...and i definitely can't boot into recovery...
For future reference if the device is fixed...please provide a link to the ROM you mentioned....
So tell the great news...is it bricked??
Thanks...
BTW, this is the thread to the ROM i was downloading...
i think it's the ROM you mentioned...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113851
Besides me feeling like talking to myself, but i found out by doing some research that blinking red light means battery critically low, also all of a sudden it did go into fastboot mode...so i assumed it had charged while i put it in usb....so i flashed a kernel having CWM and now i am charging while i entered CWM so it won't happen again....will flash eXperience ROM and when all is good i will report...
Oh sorry
Xperiance lite is for u only nt sola
I dun knw which one is a standalone rom for sola.... Probably a stock based rom wid largest size
Have u tried pressing vol down and power button till u feel 3 vibrations to force shut the device and try to achieve flashmode
Also try combo wid volume up plus power till u feel vibrations
I think you didn't read my last couple of posts, anyways, i flashed that eXperience ROM and now working great! Thanks for your time and concern!

[Q] Xperia P stuck on boot

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I've tried to install a custom ROM today and I'm afraid I managed to brick my phone (Xperia P). Here is what i did:
I started out according to the Starters guide:
-Rooted phone
-Installed CWM
-Made a backup
-Unlocked Bootloader
-Installed JB Moonbreaker 3.5: at this point I was actually still following the starters guide, as in: wiping cache, wiping data,wiping dalvik cache and then installing from zip.
-The phone is currently stuck on the loading screen that comes after "Sony" and "Xperia" (the colorful swirling thingie)
-I can only shut it down by pressing and holding the power and volume up keys until it vibrates 3 times in a row.
-Starting with pressing volume down key repeatedly will not bring up CWM (also gets stuck on the same screen).
-Will also not fastboot anymore properly. (waiting for device for "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version"; LED on device will not even light up as blue, goes to green instantly)
-In Device Manager I can see it as "Android" with a yellow exclamation mark.
-Sony PC Companion gives me the "My Sony Xperia P LT22 is connected" popup every 15 seconds but will actually not show the device as connected
I'm wondering if I can flash a stock rom on it to recover it or if there is anything else that can be done.
Thanks in advance

Can't seem to get it flashed from flashtool. I'm pressing the back button and connecting the USB and I'M just getting the same stuff on the phone, while flashtool is waiting for the phone.
I did manage to enter fastboot again though. Should I be flashing CWM from here (since I can't enter it). Or kernel then rom? I'm a bit lost.

Its volume down key and Plug in USB, to enter flashmode
Not back button.
Or flash a kernel by fastboot mode, enter CWM and install the ROM (assuming you have the zip file in the SD card )

No luck. I get a green LED and nothing happens. If I hold down volume down for really-really long then I'm back to the same boot animation.

yes green LED it is,
i hope you had the flashing process ready at the PC right ?
First make sure your phone is shut down. long press power+vol up until you feel 3 vibrations.
From there you can try fastboot mode or flash mode.

Alright done all that, still is the same. I've started to play with other USB ports and I noticed that when I get connected it tries installing the SEMC Flash device driver. It fails with "device unplugged" message exactly at the same time when when the Sony logo appears. Then it tries installing MTU USB Device as well. Reinstalled flashtool drivers and tried in different ports. It seems as if the phone is not staying in flashmode?

I recall I had that issue with wundows 7 at the beginning, what I did then was to boot my windows xp and managed to flash from there.
I have tried many things since, and if I am not mistaken it's installing flahtool drivers that fixed it finally.
I think there are 3 drivers there you need to install.

you can use emma flash tool by sony to flash your device once u get into flashboot mode(vol down den insert usb cable)
you will find it at sony developer site
did you tried to flash the rom over ICS, if yes then thats why your p got stuck at boot, coz i too got the same prob, when i tried to flash the JB moonbreaker over ICS, so what i did was pressed the power button and volume up button till 3 vibration, start flashtool and flash stock ICS firmware, but don't uncheck wipe data, otherwise you will get bootloop, after flashing is complete, now download and flash stock JB firmware, root your phone using doomlord's easy root kit or any other way you know, install cwm and now reboot into cwm flash JB stock or custom kernel and then the rom, thats it, just let me know if the prob is solved, thanks

Stuck on boot
Guys I have the same problem.
I wasn't satisfied with the rom I put on my phone so I went on to put another one on it.
Flashed the kernel with fastboot, went into cwm, deleted system, cache etc. and went on to flash the rom, but there was no rom zip there, and I was sure I had put it. It was probably an error during the copy procces and it just stopped, I assumed it copied.
Well, now it is just stuck on the boot screen. I can get into fastboot and cwm, but I have nothing to flash.
I tried using the Sony recovery "Emma" but it just stays blank when I connect the phone..
Is there something else I can do?

Hi
I think im facing a very similar issue, i m very new to this and therefore didnt understand the solution. I did visit the developer site for emma, but can you tell me the exact thing to do after starting Emma. I mean, when do i connect the phone and how, what commands to give. Below is explanation of how i got into this and what all ive tried.
OK i ve been trying to flash a new custom rom on my Xperia P, i looked at a number of guidelines and doing things step by step.
Since im very new to this i downloaded a few Roms. I was following the guide "http://droidors.com/2014/07/08/update-xperia-p-lt22i-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-with-slimkat-custom-rom/2/" and everything was going fine. I reached the step to "fastboot flash boot boot.img", i did that and then went on the next step to boot in CWM Recovery and install the zip rom and the Gapps. During the Zip Rom install i got status 7 error.
Now, i noticed that i might have flashed the wrong Rom so rechecked the guide and installed the correct Rom which is mentioned in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-slimkat-4-4-2-release-candidate-t2657795" . But now THE PROBLEM IS, AFTER I FLASHED THE INCORRECT IMG, MY PC IS NOT RECOGNISING THE XPERIA P SAYING IT DOESNOT RECOGNISE THE DRIVERS, therefore im not able to copy the ROM Zip on the SDcard, to then run it from CWM.
After sometime i tried the below
Ok, now i tried to flash the stock Rom through this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/ftf-firmware-xperia-p-generic-world-t2322163", through flashtool to bring my phone back to life. I installed the drivers as per instructions from drivers folder, but for some reason the pc is just not accepting. I did install through this exact method yesterday night and it worked perfectly.
Please suggest. I hope im asking at the right place.
Urgent help please
I forgot to mention, after I flashed the SlimKat Rom, and things went out of hand ( till this point i could see Slimkat logo at boot and could also go in CWM Recovery ), I tried to restore through Nandroid Backup i had done. As soon i selected the restore option and then the backup file, within 2-3 seconds the phone went off, and then on boot all i can do is see "SONY" on screen. Nothing else happens.
I ve tried all this on a different machine, with different wires and different USB port, no luck
Kindly advise, im stuck with no spare phone.
Solved i guess
OK Brother,
I downloaded EMMA and am currently downloading the service. It is very self explanatory. What was amazing is when i recognised my phone "What a sight "
Flashtools wasnt able to do that, so i guess the manufacture tools are damn important ( i wasnt exactly of the opinion before )
Also it is downloading Android 4.0.4 Build 6.1.1.b.1.54, which first came on the device, which also makes me think may be i should have tried that rather than trying to flash with the JB Rom all this while.
Man, i was scared. Thanks for this thread Bro.
God Bless
Will inform once the phone is booted up to confirm it worked.
Emma Worked
OK guys, I can confirm its EMMA "Flash tool for Xperia" fixed the problem for me. It installed 4.0.4 on it.
Also there is a pdf in the Download which guides about the usage.
Sigh
Correction- it installed the latest stock ROM jb

[Q] Help! Xperia U wont boot, fastboot, or boot recovery after flashing JB kernel

I was trying to flash my phone with a custom rom (zExperience V.1) and we flashed a JB kernel, which was stupid and we should have known, and after all had completed and asked for a reboot, I restarted but phone didn't boot, or show anything, I don't know what to do... screen doesn't come on, charging light shows though. what do I do?
Flash stock firmware with flashtool is always the 1st step from recovering from a brick...

[Q] Problem with booting Xperia P

Hey,
I'm new to this forum, but i know something about changing roms etc. But today i tried to change rom on my Xperia P.
I unlocked BL then flashed custom kernel, its Nemesis Kernel v6.3. Then i wanted to flash custom rom - Honami Moonwalker. Then i did everything with instruction, and theres problem. I did format /system and turned off CWM by mistake. now when im trying to turn on the phone i just get the NXP text, and a one vibration of the phone.
What to do with this? How i can flash stock kernel or system?
More info: Green light shows only for a moment when i try to get flash mode, same thing happens with blue light when i enter fastboot mode. The problem is my computer cant get now Fastboot,Flash or ADB drivers. and i cant flash stock system.
Please help me..
Greetings

There are few options.
You can flash 6.2.A.1.100 ROM or even try flashing the system only from the ROM with flashtool.
Or you can repair with PC Companion
The problem is i can't flash, because phone cant enter flash or fastboot mode. I can't use PC Companion - unlocked BL
Ok, problem solved, i needed to remove battery from my XP to let it get total reset ( power + vol up didnt work). Please close thread.
