Here's what I did to officially update my neo V to ICS through PC Companion (my third Android device, but my first ever official update, always did it manually on my previous two Samsung phones :p)

1. Locked bootloaders following the method → here.
2. Flashed the stock .62 FTF using Flashtool, download → here (thanks to original uploader for the link)
3. Unlocked bootloaders again in order to root.
3. Rooted it by using the CWM + Root kernel by bboof.
4. Went ahead and changed build.prop values as mentioned by Madfysh here (Remember, those three lines aren't next to each other, look for them in the build.prop file). Rebooted, and instantly got a new update notification on phone.
5. Locked bootloaders again, then flashed only the stock kernel from the .62 ftf to get back original kernel.
6. Connected to PC Companion, found the update, updated it. PC Companion doesn't check for root apparently, so that wasn't a problem.

Long procedure, I know, but I didn't wanna wait around to download the FTF, specially with the problems being reported :p And I think I'm finally getting the hang of all the fastboot and ftf stuff (which aren't there on Samsung) :D

I believe the method me and archijit posted is quite different from yours, but if someone did copy your method, then yes, they shouldn't be taking the credit. :)

Sorry, no idea what's wrong. Can't you copy it to SD card when the phone is on? It works for me, though I updated through PC Companion using the build.prop hack. Oh, and my bootloaders are unlocked as well but that goes without saying when you wanna flash a custom kernel.



Haha, nope, I am just a normal user, don't know how to make or compile kernels :p

Well, I post that if you don't have root access after flashed RootXperia then you should flash Superuser that i include in post, flash via recovery then you will get full root access. Few posts later I saw ppl that are showing the same method as I posted few posts earlier so where is the diffrence?

superb rom

After use of 24 hours,
I can say- its a superb rom with gr8 battery life:D
A little short coming is look(not much fancy), which can be done any time with a little effort. For now i am using apex launcher having pure ics feel.
Games incompitability is general. Game developers have to update their games. Asphalt 6 already updated last week. Its playable now.
Unnecessary apps can be disabled in setting-- apps, for more free ram and improved battery life.

i have rooted with CWM with stock kernel :D
My steps:
1.Put this http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip in sd
2.switch off the phone, attach in fastboot mode
command: fastboot boot recoveryNeo.img
(dont forget to put recoveryNeo.img in fastboot folder from attach. below)
--- phone will automatically boot in recovery.(no need to press any button)
----detach the phone from cable.
3. from recovery flash superuser-3.0.7....
----(beware of button behaviour of this cwm--- power button is for selection)
----reboot the phone.
4. plug the phone with pc & run install-cwm1 (extract this from attach. below)

    Here's the FTF Files for Neo V - Nordic

    Part 1: http://www.mediafire.com/?9dera4tes44pa7d

    Part 2: http://www.mediafire.com/?7ik510cq7cy2p62

    You may use: HJ Split to join the FTF files

    Everithing working fine for me only flashing with Flashtool. The only thing I needed to do was allowing Data Roaming for yoigo-spain to work since
    this carrier is not considered in the Nordic update (this might be a frequent issue with other carriers)

    btw. If any linux user wants to join the two ftf files it's as simple as writing
    ina terminal

    $ cat first_half.ftf.1 second_half.ftf.1 > whole_file.ftf

    something wou can also do ina terminal emulator in your Xperia Neo, and no need for HJ Split.

    Guys, here's how you can root it. Requires unlocked bootloader. Download the Superuser file first, and copy to SD card of course..

    Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

    Then, hot boot any kernel with CWM (I used Nightelf MIUI kernel, Nightelf ICS Beta 2 somehow refused to enter recovery) using the following command:

    fastboot boot kernel_name.img

    Phone will reboot, start spamming the Back button when Sony logo comes up to enter recovery, install the superuser zip, then reboot to boot into rooted official ICS ;) Oh, and install busybox by using a busybox installer from Market or by updating su binary through Superuser app, which will download busybox in the process..

    OP: Best to add it to 1st post :)

    Can I flash just kernel from mt11i_4.1.A.0.562.ftf (whole rom) using Flashtool?

    I think that would be possible by unticking the Wipe options, and ticking Exclude System + Exclude Baseband options in Flastool.
