And yes as far as i've found if you downgrade to .42 or .58 root den upgrade to .62 ur device stays rooted(condition-You have to upgrade it OTA only, not by PCcompanion)

SuperOneClick is for rooting and it uses same exploit as DoomLord's program for Xperia phones, so it won't help.

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.

and wil the neo v get Build 4.0.2.A.0.62 if it is rooted?

Thanks for the method will give a go today ......
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.

ah okay, I think you have not an unlocked bootloader.
Then you truly need .42 .
flash the tft with flashtools.
root with zergrush and cwm with se tweak(er)

Hey people I am new to xda. I want to root my xperia neo v.
I have locked bootloader, android 2.3.6 fw. 62....
I have downloaded DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT and adb drivers. Please tell me that will it root my phone if not then tell me other way to root it.

2.3.6??
Now I don't know how you got that! I think 2.3.4 is latest for Neo and Neo V
But I don't find a reason for you not bein able to root !

You can also use flashtool to root your device! There's an icon in shape of a lock!
Click that once you install flashtool and drivers!
For how to :
Read sticky threads in Neo V development forum!

AFAIK...62 firmware couldn't be rooted via doomlord's method or zergrush method.
For that he will have to downgrade to .42...root it via doomlord's method...install recovery and then upgrade to .62....correct me if i am wrong bcoz by the time .62 was released, i had unlocked the bootloader already...and used custom roms.

I.think its better to unlock Bootloade with testpoint method, ant flash Moded kernel.
I have rooted my Neo V while on ICS and I think the script only doesnt work for the 4.0.4 Kernel.
I have rooted it this way:
Update to newest version 4.0.4
flash 4.1.A Kernel with Flashtool
root with the DoomLord script
flash 4.1.B Kernel back
If you are still on Android 2.3.x I think you can use the script and uptade after it with flashtool.

All ftf files for a particular firmware are the same. I'm not familiar with P rooting procedures but I believe its not a bug.
