Iv been using my neo for about 3months now and its really slow..gets stuck when opening apps..tries to force close apps everytime i open them..performance improves if i restart my fone..im on 2.3.3. Will upgrading to 2.3.4 improve my fones performance and is there any way i can do that without rooting my fone? My fone is a uk model and im in pakistan and it doesnt show any updates when i search for updates..also i dont know if it was factory unlocked or was unlocked later so will it get locked again if i upgrade..plz help

Use flashtool to flash latest firmware, you can find flashtool and latest firmware ftf file on development section.

Wassup Guyz!
I just bought a sk17a yestewrday and I can't wait to root it. I don't wanna unlock bootloader, neither install custom kernels and ROMs, at least for a while.
So I saw many topics here saing "4.0.2.A.0.62 can't be rooted, downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.58 (I did it using wootan server) and upgrade back to 4.0.2.A.0.62 by Update Center OTA."
Okay, firmware downgrade, phone rooted using Doomlord v4. But when I try to update my phone, it says its already updated! I can't get back to 4.0.2.A.0.62 anymore, if I want to stay rooted... after upgrading from PC Companion, it wiped my phone and I lost root.
Anyone knows what to to, so I can get a rooted stock 4.0.2.A.0.62 w/o unlocking my bootloader, installing custom roms and kernels?
Thanks in advance!
Downgrading, rooting on older firmware and then upgrade via OTA is the only way to get .62 rooted. Another thing you can do is to use flashtool and flash a .62 rom pre-rooted. Just search in the forum
Did you choose US Generic and 0.58 firmware?Double check if you flash the right firmware...currently,only US Generic can be update using OTA...

Also,usefull imformation for you :
SK17a and SK17i is SAME...a version stand for america,i version stand for international....since Sony main HQ is in America,that's why America Generic can use OTA update...

Thanks a lot, guyz. I Just figured, I was w/o 3g coverage. Even when Wifi connected, Ota updates only Works when you have an 3g connection.
My US generic .58 firmware succefully upgraded Ota to .62 and kept its root!

Incorrect.

Sony Mobile Communications AB is a multinational mobile
phone manufacturing company headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

And no, .62 firmware is available in all countries, where this phone is released.
To the topic starter: I have seen a pre-rooted stock ROM for some phone in Development section, though can't remember which phone.

Oh and OTA works also with WiFi. Did OTA update on my LWW via WiFi, because I didn't have 3G internet at that time(no subscription).

Well nice to hear that another new member of us is in 0.62 Firmware with rooted system
people, is it okay if i update OTA even if i have a sk17i?
what is the approximate size of the update? will it do under 1gb?

Sure,as long as your bootloader aren't unlocked...and the download take about 5 minutes (fast connection) / 10 minutes (average connection) / 15+ minutes (slow connection)
But if you want latest firmware with root access,flash back to stock Rom other than 0.62,root using DoorLord step and OTA update it

yeah i guess my bootloader isnt unlocked as i haven't touched the phone in that area , well i baught it about one and a half weeks ago so it wont be unlocked right? is there a way to be sure that it isnt unlocked?
and do you know the approximate size of the upgrade? because i have to buy the amount of data before if not it'll cost a fortune

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Choose service info
Choose configuration
If it stated 'Bootloader unlock allowed : yes' or something like it stated you can unlock your bootloader,it mean your bootloader LOCKED
The size of ftf file to download usually around 150+mb

Hi
I have tried with s1tool to unbrick my phone .But after clicking do job ,iam not getting the restore tab for restore the file.Just see the attached screenshot.
Somebody has to help me to get it sort out this issue.
Thanks
are your phone unlocked bootloader?
if unlock, try to use s1tools / flashtool with proper ftf file.
if it's locked, just use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service)
AFAIK restore function is used for relocking bootloader.
Do you want to unbrick phone by flashing new ROM? Assuming that You have unlocked bootloader, use flashtool.
Edit: it seems I was too slow
Sent from my MT15i using XDA
You are using older version of s1tool.
Go to neo v dev section and from sticky thread get newer s1tool.
Just download the firm and flash will latest version of flash tool..

Just one more question
If i unlock bootloader can i connect phone to PC Companion or SEUS(update sevice) an clik on REPAIR PHONE and trick it to download firmware and before it finish downloading i disconnect phone and then make ftf file from blob-fs folder and flash it with flash tool.
Will it detect my phone, can this be done???
And can i flash ftf with stock firmware to phone with unlocked bootloader?

Cause I still have 1,5y of warranty and as I unlocked the BL the warranty doesnt covers damage.
Btw,what's the procedure to do with SEUS?
flash this with flashtool
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd
it relocks the bootloader if you unlocked it via the official SE method
you can re-unlock it again after that
and then lock it again
etc
Well,I Unlocked it Via Flashtool,During the process the program opened me a webpage which was from sony ericsonn that gave me a code to unlock the bootloader,it was the official page...
yes thats the official method.

you can use SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool.
And yes.
AFAIK warranty is void once you unlock bootloader due to deletion of a partition in which you loose DRM keys needed by some apps. I think DRM keys are lost forever and that is how then know your warranty is void
Sony Update service won't let unlocked bootloader devices to update/restock.. It says i had a modified software.. I used sony official method.. And relock via flashtool, and use Sony update service again.. It restock my phone.. But i got different region.. (CE)

You can't via pcc or sus, you need to use flashtool to flash roms or recovery to install updates and keep root.
