Hi everybody, i used the method described at the 1st post, ICS installed just great (i used the update for Flashtool at 0.70) and re-updated ICS with Sony Official PC Companion and also rooted the device just fine with DoomLoRd script, lets see how good ICS really is ;-)

Cheers,
I will try it on my Neo tonight and let you know.
If it works I post detailed step by step instructions for people on the Neo to follow
well, OP put link into first post with detailed instructions on another forum, so no need to bug yourself, but if you wanna.. :)

@dhwanik: you can also put link to CWM(its in my post above) so that we have all at one place. because someone will come and ask how to flash cwm zip :)

For a strange reason i found the battery to fall down rapidly, it might be the first day shock trying to install all apps, setup phone etc, i will report again later about this. I didn't had any problems connecting to various Wifi Routers. Also no problem with alarm ringing... GPS seems working just fine as well.

second part of that post. that should be entire instructions for getting it on neo.

A2SD script kill the performance 3d on games, and cause lag on home scroll.
I test this over 2 days, A2SD is the cause. SWAP, file or partition, poor performance too. Install a2sd script for Titanium backup recongnize the ext3 partition and activate "move data to SD" option.(Great for move data of Arcade Pinball to SD,160mb). Do it, execute command "a2sd remove" on terminal, and use Link2sd.

Dont use SWAP or A2SD if you play 3D games on xperia ICS.

Sorry my bad english.

So the camera fix worked but now I have some problems with the camcorder it seems like twice as zoomed as camera, its like digital zoom. Did you understand me? or I'll send screenshots.

    This isn't working for me - still no updates available
    then you are doing it wrong :)

    Must i let the 3 lines above empty, it do.t work mate :s must i restart my neo v when i change it??
    find those 3 lines, you will see 8 digit number, replace those numbers with the one I gave.
    and ofcourse, you need to restart phone in order to changes be registered.

    Hi,

    This is MT15a ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0431) ftf (SI : 1246-7713).I made it using Flashtool and blob_fs files (SUS).
    It's a Telstra branded ROM and has different Junk Apps (Like Mcafee security suite, Telstra ONE ,...etc)

    iFile.it download Link : http://ifile.it/oql5i10/Xperia Neo (MT15a)_4.1.B.0.431 (ICS_4.0.4)_Telstra.7z

    MD5 (7z file) : abc09106f5c00b3dcfbd8b0c6a8c8fb0

    Edit: Sorry , it seems that iFile.it changed their policy and doesn't allow free users to download large files anymore ( even i can't download my own file!) or at least keeps them waiting & waiting!. I will upload it later to another file sharing site!


    Edit : new links
    (hipfile) :
    http://hipfile.com/u7trcydloxa3/Xperia_Neo_(MT15a)_4.1.B.0.431_(ICS_4.0.4)_Telstra.7z.html
    (rapidshare):
    https://www.rapidshare.com/#!downlo...5a__4.1.B.0.431__ICS_4.0.4__Telstra.7z|211721

    rapidshare doesn't show correct file size in download page, but when you download it ,it's fine.
    i didn't delete the file from ifile.it, so you can try it also.

    Open build.prop, find these lines
    ro.product.name=
    ro.build.fingerprint=
    ro.semc.version.cust=

    and edit 8digit number to 1255-1755

    also
    ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R6D


    Enjoy ;)
