well I'm not sure you can, if flashtool didn't report any problem, it's flashed, you'll just have to trust him

You are free to try.
Just one thing, when you flash neo v 4.0.3 kernel your phone won't boot ok, but it will be enough that root toolkit inject files for root. So don't be afraid if screen will be black, just make sure to enable debugging mode and enable unknown sources, before flashing neo v kernel.
Same problems have xperia pro users.
Try and report.

You're welcome.
Since I see you are new here and I see your other post, we have thanks button to be used in stead of thanks post. That way you express your thankfulness while keeping forum clean
Didn't allow the flashing on wt19i(to many errors appeared). I found that st18i kernel does the job:-/. After flashing the kernel phone bricks, but allows the rooting. Then I reflash the stock kernel and seems to be ok now.
thanks anyway and sorry for the off-topic.

Hi, I am a noob to rooting. Just tried my hands at it today. I rooted my ICS 4.1.b.0.431 and installed the cwm. Made a backup too thru cwm. I was installing the custom rom Xperia Ice Cream Pureness . followed these steps
1.Factory reset in cwm
2.wipe cache partition
3.wipe dalvik cache
4.Install rom zip
except the 3rd one, forgot to do it. When i restarted after installing rom from zip it gets stuck at SONY logo. Cant access cwm also . Can somebody pls help me.
If this is not the thread to post this complaint please direct me.

Hello. I followed the steps, and I installed superuser via recovery, but now when I select reboot system, it gets me to the recovery. I used the flash method and not the hotboot one.
I did
"fastboot flash recoveryNeo.img"
Edit: I have unlocked my bootloader. And I got a Neo V.

Don't worry, just flash some other kernel, that kernel(recoveryNeo.img) is made just for CWM. That's why I wrote in first post that kernel is used for hotboot not for flash.
Thanks for the quick reply! Where can I find a kernel just to boot into the phone? Can you provide any link, because when it comes to SE, im a noob. Im used to other phones. Hehe :x
Edit: I cannot boot into fastboot by holding the menu button and plugging in the usb. It boots into Recovery only. :S Any way to find a .zip kernel?
Edit 2: Can I just flash CM9? Or will I hardbrick?

Get stock .431 kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26798415&postcount=141, open that .ftf with zip,rar or 7zip, and extract kernel.sinThanks for the quick reply! Where can I find a kernel just to boot into the phone?
and flash it with: fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
There is no recovery zip for kernel.
Restart your PC, re-insert battery in phone and try again. Menu key+cable, report what happens, does blue LED turn on?
Even for CM9 you still need to flash kernel, so let's first bring your phone to operating state, then you look for other things
Ok i flashed a kernel which i found under the development section. Now how do I get into recovery? Im used to samsung phones.
Edit: Seriously, this kernel doesnt boot into recovery. It's so frustrating. I do adb reboot recovery but nothing. I tried to hotboot the kernel you provided, and then I tried to install CM9 from the Freexperia thread, but I get error status 7 or something. What's wrong with SE phones? :S

To enter recovery: keep pressing back button or volume- button.
Status 7 is when you used rom which is for neo, not neo v right?
It's nothing wrong with SE phones, they are just different than samsung, in some things, but still, if you use right files, there will be no problem.
Since you have no intention to stay on root-ed stock rom, but instead go to custom rom, we are a bit off topic in here, so you will get better answers if you continue discussion in the thread of rom you are trying to install

148So as some of you noticed, Sony has start to roll out latest ICS 4.0.4.
To check if you are in that first part of roll out, check if your your SI number is on the list: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/199356
If not, XDA to the rescue
Here you can download .ftf file:

NOTE: Before .ftf flash, if that's your first unofficial flash, you can save your original CDF number if you ever wanna go back to original fw, which you have now on your phone. If yes, then read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604559
Please DO NOT write thanks posts. Thank you.56Root for .431 locked bootloader
Everything works fine herefor the locked bootloader....but there seems to be some problem ....widget picker dosent work and also dial pad is not working during call...i followed your procedure step by step...
But that's old news now, no need to bug with flashing zip's
ROOT for LOCKED bootloaders
1)Flash(if you didn't already) 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.431) ICS and boot phone (links are in post#1)
1.1) turn usb debugging on
1.2) allow unknown sources
1.3) select MSC mode (settings->Xperia->connectivity->USB connection mode->MSC mode)
2)Flash kernel from 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562) ICS and boot phone. Flash only kernel, don't wipe anything!
Note: in settings->about phone: nothing will change, nor kernel version, nor the build number (That is OK)
3)download DooMLoRD's Rooting Toolkit for Xperia 2011 ICS [FW:.562]: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
read instructions and root your phone
(in case you are on linux, thanks to cha0sxl go here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26927754&postcount=114)
4)flash back kernel from 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.431) ICS. Flash only kernel, don't wipe anything!
p.s. yes, this works for both, Neo and Neo V.
For Neo users, in step 2, you use kernel from Neo V of course. And, Neo users, don't worry about errors when booting with .562 kernel.
If you don't see your contacts after importing them, go to menu->filter-> and play with settings here.
End of story.
Enjoy in your rooted phone with locked bootloader.
In case someone is afraid that his finger will slip and that he will wipe something while flashing only kernel, I uploaded ftf's with only kernel.

It's same as with .431, but as I can imagine some people would be confused if I add instructions to old post, I (mostly) copy/paste my old post.
Please don't ask when this or that fw will be released. If you see it it's here, if you find it, post it. I still need to check some of the ftf's floating around, as region is unknown.

Actually that's why it's strange, because before I seen it gets merged even when I quote someone. Anw, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sureThat does not work if you quote someone
Anw, here is something for users on locked bootloader. System zip, with root.

.zip md5hash: 433874614F5E53F28A1999F2A2270E40
Steps
Note, if you already on stock(or based on stock) with root&CWM jump to step 4
1)Flash 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562 ICS) from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24983670&postcount=246
2)Root with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
3)CWM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364509
4)Boot into CWM, wipe everything, data,cache,system,dalvik,battery and flash MT11i_ICS404_rooted_system_forCWM.zip
5)(optional)boot your phone and install CWM again
6)start flashtool and flash kernel and baseband from latest 4.0.4(from first post)
or download this baseband and kernel ftf: and flash it
4.0.4(4.1.B.0.431) baseband&kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/?co62xnqegcclp9s
.7z md5hash: 23C725DD94B67694EA42EB9C13BD5945
.ftf md5hash: 6DF3669F2EC8B5EED4E43B1DF3C0FC5A
and there you go, you are on root-ed 4.0.4
EDIT: No need to mess with zip's, go here and root your Neo/NeoV with locked bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26798415&postcount=141
