No for flashing you just need usb debugging and unknown sources checked for flashing....root doesn't make a difference.

    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 ;)
