Can someone tell me what I need to do to root my Xperia Neo 2.3.4 without getting the battery problem. Already experienced it once.

You will have to unlock the bootloader and then root via a custom kernel.

Are you sure, cause I can't unlock bootloader, sim lock to o2.

Yes.
There is however still this method for bootloader unlocking.

Firmware .62 won't root directly in locked bootloaders!
First downgrade to .42 by flashing the corresponding firmware and then root!
Afterwards do the OTA update!

Do you want root with locked bootloader or unlocked?
Unlocked bootloader gingerbread rooting is easy 2 steps for all firmwares. Though that's not enough a reason to unlock the bootloader.
neo v bootloader unlocking has'nt been provided by sony yet..... but for starters rooting neo v will be a gr8 help & will cm7 be supporting NEO V too ???
tried GINGERBREAK , X10FlashTool ,SuperOneClick......but was no use ....waiting for root
unlocking on SE website for neo V is same as for neo. just do it.

Why not we create a separate section for Neo V. I am getting this device and hopefully will post about the root procedure soon.
That's gr8..... Surely it takes some time on XDA to get a separate section

Update availabe for Xperia Neo- Build 4.0.2.A.0.62

Hi guys,
I Just want to inform you that yesterday I updated my Xperia neo and got 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Does anybody know what are changes since previous build?
Using 4.0.2.A.0.62 I can not root using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su,
So becareful, you may need to wait until some solution for rooting is found.
Is It Available For Neo V Too ... Cant Find In My Region.. Will Wait Till There Is Any Solution For Rooting
Which region are you in?
Screenshot of about phone?

I have rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62.
First I flashed InteksV15 kernel. After I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.
it's working
But after it will be running on Inteks kernel. You may need to extract original one from 4.0.2.A.0.62
and reflash it.

I am from middle east too. Nothing so special in this update. I hope some official change log to be released
I reverted back my phone to .42, because there is not any straight and easy way to root this firmware yet.
i still have Build 4.0.2.A.0.42 on my Neo V
is that right, im from the netherlands
and my neo is rooted, is that not dangerous
and wil the neo v get Build 4.0.2.A.0.62 if it is rooted?
please respond.

i still have 4.0.2.A.0.42 and my neo v is rooted,
but i have still the original android 2.3.4
and there is no update to 4.0.2.A.0.62 yet,
is that right? im from the netherlands.

I have my neo rooted with locked bootloader and 0.42 firmware.
If I upgrade to 0.62 ,I supposed it won't be rooted any more.
Right?
Any way to root it again with locked bootloader?

I can get the update, but I have an unlocked bootloader so I used flashtool. But I had a conversation with @SonyEricssonNL, and it turned out I have a scandinavian SI number.
I think you can just use flashtool to flash the ftf, also non-rooted.

[Q] Will Zelly Cream rom work on Neo?

Hi, I have a Live With walkman and i use the zelly cream rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155803) and a friend of mine saw it and wanted it. The question is since in the post says that is available to all the 2011 Xperias it should work, but it was posted in the Live with walkman section.
So anyone knows if it will work or not?
So, you asked without searching? Cause if you have searched you would have seen that both neo and Neo v is supported(and all 2011 hdpi devices as you already said)

Downgrading your phone it's possible, just get the desired ftf file with the version you want and flash it with flash tool. Now to install this rom YOU MUST be on ics .587
About the second question, i didn't understand what you meant.
what would be the best display settings on zelly cream to get a good battery backup?

disable als an try to keep screen brightness to a minimum level according to your need
disable crt off animation if you use it
disable screen auto rotation
I use display settings as 'Adapt to lightning conditions' in power saver mode. Still my screen uses almost 60 % of battery. Any suggestions please.

you mean stock ics
it's not possible if you have unlocked your bootloader by official method
you can do it if you have unlocked via test point method
just you have to relock the bootloader
and repair via sus

Its possible
No need to 'relock bootloader
Just flash the stock fw n you should be back to stock ics!

Nope nothing related to drm
Flashtool works on locked or unlocked both without any partiality
You might have messed it up yourself accidentally
There's no reason for stock ics to not get flashed on either locked or unlocked bootloader
And just for the record,I've done it on my phone n my friends phone too
