any news on that?? can i get that anywhere??
Haven't come across it myself either, good luck hunting.
As the FW from the Arc works on the Neo, try using the one in Arc development thread.
From my phone to your eyes.
are you sure that they use exactly the same FW?

i use that one too but i dint want HK software. but i think i am gonna wait for that tweaked clean stock rom thats gonna be done ir the final CM7

Hello,
You can simply use DooMKernel (OC + recovery + root) or install Bin4ry's RootXperia.zip from a recovery
The two methods works with a 368Fw (just an unlocked bootloader is required)
I got the HK one and once I got my bootloader unlocked, installed doomkernel and then deleted the apps I didn't want on there with root and it runs well. overclocking time soon.

p.s: my first post on XDA
Well for roms whats the difference? Well customs roms are made my nice people here on xda and the firmwares from sony if im wrong correct me and a rom i'd suggest you its the best 2.2 stable and fastest rom its called freex10 madr by zdzihu look for it in the developement section and also you might wanna try wolfbreaks one it has more customisation and welcome to xda buddy

you can use Trip rom as well , its very cool
i meanyt to say that if i install any rom will i loose my generic se firmware or data ?
You can always go back to general SE firmware by clicking repair in SEUS.
The data on your sdcard is usually safed when changing between ROMs. But to be sure you can make a backup in xRecovery. Or use an app like Titanium backup or My Backup Root.
Owner of Post,
Do you have the latest version of busybox installed yet and xrecovery yet, because if you don't, I or somebody else can help you. So post again and if you need it and I will post some links for you to use.

Here is flashtool that will help with many things with the x10 like rooting, new se firmwares, installing busybox, ect.
What is your baseband? I need to know before you do the following below.

and here is the how to to use flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
since your phone is already rooted, install busybox with flashtool first then xrecovery with this link.

then pick on of the lovely ROMs with with the correct baseband you have.

Good. Now you can use most if not all 2.2 ROMS. Go the busybox step then.

by the way, it doesn't matter if your phone is X10a or X10i. that just means your phone hardware frequency is different. you can use any custom ROM. I recommend Trip's GB MiUI ;-)
Sent from my X10 TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App
u should try wolfbreak's custom rom in the android development section since your baseband is on .54 if not you have to take the trouble to flash your baseband to .49 or 52 for trips rom
Thanks Guys
Im tired of waiting i have an x10a im going to flash gb already, what should i do? Flash stock and wait for root? Or search for that pre-rooted stock ive heard about?
Ive read about the wb rom but i dont want to miss any features of the stock(sorry if i dont know, noob at the whole custom rom stuff?.
But i had my 2.1 rooted and i loved it(specially the ability to control cpu usage)

If you look at wb Rom it comes with the gingerbread baseband to flash if you already have root on 2.1 you dont need to upgrade to stock gingerbread flash the Rom dont reboot then flash the baseband then reboot gingerbread with root and xrecovery

i'm also x10a originally but there's absolutely nothing wrong in flashing a x10i, looks like baseband 71 works on all regions.
Yay now running gb, feels like a new phone(at least on-screen)

If you don't want to miss anything, don't use custom ROM. Just root to delete unneed apps and xRecovery to install plugin. It works perfect.
Yo guys, I'm a new user of x10i...I have on my x10i 2.33 software so I'm wondering If I'm able to flash, root and etc.. with the guides what are posted on this forums as a guide or they are out-dated( not for this software) or it doesn't matter.
I'm not sure if this is considering as a spam, but I want to make sure so I don't screw up my x10, I just bought it few days ago.
thanks
and just wondering, what hacks( root, flash etc...) do you guys suggest me to do on x10i so I could enjoy it max..
Just root it first using flashtool(look at stickies at top of page for guide and download links).
Sent from my x10i using xda premium
yeah, I got that part ;P but still, my question is still not answered
Which question would that be;
Can you root
Is guides outdated
Is message spam
Will you screw up you phone
Which Rom
Yes if you read guides and get flashtool
No;but a lot of download links are dead
No;but there is a search function for a reason
Probably;but it's easily sorted-although certain people can't seem to manage
Try Feravolts rom

SEARCH, SEARCH, SEARCH, READ, READ, READ, posts have dates on them. Questions about roms should be made in the roms Q&A thread. People will help you but you have to help your self.

You can flash new kernels over dooms. For back to stock there are stock kernels with xrecovery installed. If you want to start over with full stock (relock, unroot, stock rom & kernel) then use flashtool and flash stock ftf file

Is there anyway to Overclock an ST15i on stock rooted .62 firmware and locked bootloader?
Is there something like a file I can use like I could do with my old X8?
Also,any way to add governors?
I don't wanna use custom ROM at the moment though.Just stock.
Thanks.

Only way is via unlocking bootloader and using custom kernel.

With stock kernel, you cannot overclock at all. Kernel is the only bridge between hardware and firmware. You have to edit kernel to be able to overclock.

totally correct! .62 fw hard to root, the easy way doesnt work....i tried the method listed for mk16i, it worked
Hello guys,
I have the original Xperia Neo and want to manually update it to stock ICS, without unlocking my bootloader to avoid possible bricking in case later OTA updates arrive.
These threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26798415&postcount=141
that help you root your phone assume you're already on ICS.
Threads that help you update to ICS, assume you're already rooted. I'm confused.
I'm currently running stock and never unlocked or rooted the phone before.
Whats the correct way to update to stock ICS ?
If your neo on GB is not rooted and locked bootloader too, you can safely update via PCC or SEUS.
Also you don't need root initially to flash an ftf using flashtool. That is the only way to "manually" update any SE Phone.
But if it is rooted, flash an ftf file of 4.0.3 firmware. 562 using flashtool.( you will lose all your data. Also search on how to flash ICS firmware using flashtool.) , root it if you want to and proceed to OTA to 4.0.4 firmware. 431.
If you dont wish to root it, directly flash. 431 ftf. To update manually.

Not really, there are .ftf files in first post so you can manually install ICS with flashtool.
U dn't need to root for manually updating via flashtool !!

and then flash it only ? that's it?
the file is common to all Xperia Neo phones (regions) ?
Yeah. Only flash the proper ftf file. Also, if you want region specific, use Seus. there is hardly any difference in regions though.

Don't ever upgrade to ics. Your neo will become very laggy and most of the time applications will force stopped plus overheating and drains battery faster. I have experienced it.

Root. And install supercharger. It is an all in one solution. Also if you do a bit of searching, you'll find fixes. Eg. Stock dialer lag fix by mpkiep in the Neo themes section.
And most of all unlock your boot loader and use another kernel. Also if you don't want to unlock, use a script to enable more governers for a kernel. Use those. On demand is not recommended for optimum performance.
