Updated to 2.3.4 with SEUS and SE PCC - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

You might have been redirected from the Arc forum at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17692719#post17692719
Or from the Neo Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17693156#post17693156)
Let's get the story started
Today I plugged my phone to my computer and PC companion said: update available. I tried to update in PCC, but it failed at the end.
So, I used SEUS. Same story: update available, flashmode, and it works.
update 23:33
Raw files from SEUS:
154,42 MB http://www.mediafire.com/?4h0t9g4a1gh9g9z
15,04 MB http://www.mediafire.com/?z8ih2k5x92fr7aa

Now available as .ftf file, ready to flash, thanks to thomasafca for that.
I didn't think of anything special. But I just saw the 3D camera application, and I thought hmmm... 2.3.4, 3D photo's? Let's check out the about phone menu... surprise:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They said the update would be in october, I guess a mistake was made by SE
Info: Xperia Neo, unbranded, global(?) was on latest official firmware, non-rooted, bootloader relocked (twice :$) and I live in The Netherlands (system language is Dutch
As I said: non-rooted, so only pics, no screenshots (EDIT: LOL wtf, I'm being dumb, screenshot is built in in this update), Android SDK won't work.
Some more pictures
New screen on/off animations in attachment
unfortunately I have a HDMI cable nor a 3D-tv to test the photo's

you said no ss only pics cause i'ts unrooted, with this update, did SE not include screenshots on the power off menu?

Just heard, update doesn't work on the PLAY. Who can tell me how to make a .ftf out of your SEUS folder file?

---

thanks I've just update mine.

---

can you flash this to the arc?

---

So I suppose that the root will not be taken with this update?

---

Can anyone post a System Dump only please.

---

Can anyone confirm if the nasty AAC file bugs of Android V2.3.3 were fixed?
Basically songs with different artists would appear in separate listings of the same album for some reason.

---

Can you tell me how to take a screenshot please, i tried hold back key and press home key already, but nohting happened

My phone is not rooted

hey thats cool,
but my SEUS dont say that there aren't newer updates
maybe it is because my bootloaders are unlocked and i am running DooMKernel with root?
and is there a way to update to 2.3.4 wihout loosing data? flashtool?
(i have already downloaded the .tft file)
i think that relocking the bootloaders and flashing the tft file with flashtool without the userdata.sin is the solution?

Nope. Still not option for automatic brightness.
EDIT: I've posted a guide on how to install 2.3.4 and root your phone.

I asked Sony Ericsson about this, and they asked me to send some phone information. According to them, my phone has a Scandinavian software version...

I quote Marcell and repeat his question: i am in the same situation as him, with unlocked bootloader and root;there is a way to update the phone without losing all data and root Access? If I simply flash the new firmware I think that I will lose all, is correct?
