Finally Rooted Neo L

---

Guys i have attached the kernel ftf file of neo L.
So people who are all having neo L can easily root their device.

Steps To Root

Let me clear you guys..
First goto developer setting and turn on usb debugging.
Now in setting->Xperia->connectivity Change usb mode as MSC.
Now turn off device.
Download MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf from here http://www.mediafire.com/?gwe739kn5mcx56t..
Now flash ur neo L with the above kernel and power on.
You'll only get vibration but screen does'nt turns on.
But still usb debugging'll be working.
Now download DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su frm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1601038.
Next connect ur device and simply run runme.bat.
Now your device will be rooted.
Finally remove and reinsert your battery and flash Neo L 4.0.4 Kernel.ftf from this thread.
All Done..

Probably the same as for other Xperia 2011 devices, flash kernel from 4.0.3 then root and then flash kernel from 4.0.4 again.

For the 4.0.3 kernel you should probably use kernel from Xperia ray or neo V, not sure I do not have a neo L.

I've tried this method, but my bootme.bat keeps giving errors saying "read-only file system" and it doesn't allow the bootme to do anything to my phone, how do I solve this?

v kernel

Why so difficult?
Flash kernel from 4.0.3 with wiping all and no final verification, niw you are on android 4.0.3, then root, then the OTA,, now you are on rooted 4.0.4 and then install cwm recovery and then... You're done !!

Sorry.. But how..
I think There is no 4.0.3 kernel for Neo L since the device came up with 4.0.4.
And if we use other device's 4.0.3 kernel then the screen will not work, only usb debugging works ,then how
to do OTA....?
So i uploaded this kernel only ftf for Neo L in this thread..

It will be the same concept to flash neo V kernel to neo L. Neo L is different device than neo V. It seems that the neo L is more similar to Xperia play than to neo. It seems that xperia play can boot neo L ICS image fine, just gamepad not working.

so what are the real steps for rooting do i need like cwm or something? Or will like a one-click root come out for the neo L? I have the neo L but will ask noob questions cuz i used to own a htc wildfire s
