Try wotan server,google it its free and fast and u can choose whateverr version u like !
Sent from my MT15i using XDA
is there any official 2.3.3 roms for Neo V ? I thought Neo V was the first SE phone that came out with stock 2.3.4.If you are talking about Neo beware before downgrading cos downgrading to 2.3.3 can mess up your fuel gauge chip and battery info get messed up
If you are talking about downgrading to 0.42 fw in 2.3.4 then read this Flashtool guide and use 0.42 ftf,you can find ftf file in Neo V dev section stickied threads
Exactly ! There are no 3.3.3 stock neo ROMS
Flash .42 from Wotan and you are good to go
In wotan says no more credit and i cannot use it :S

Hi again,
if you don´t already got ADB Drivers, get this:
wotanserver.com/downloads/USBFlashDriver.exe
And here´s the download link for the Wotan Client :
wotanserver.com/downloads/WotanClient.exe
Sorry for plain Text links,
atm i´m not allowed to post outside XDA Links =(
Just run it, connect your phone as shown and select the Firmware you want
Btw, i had strange problems flashing my phone with flashtool using my Desktop PC,
Flashtool did it´s work only on my Laptop (no idea why).
But Wotanclient worked on my PC too.
Hope this helps

Hi,
i am a newbie here. with help of the forum, i was able to root my xperia neo V running stock ICS. now that i want to try custom ROM - Polish Blood...
the topic for the same only gives an overview...
can somebody please guide me about going further with this...
i have downloaded the required files from the links on the topic
my neo V is rooted with a locked boot loader and have installed a few apps recommended (Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox & ROM Manager)
do i need to install a kernel (if yes, which) or can i just install the ROM?
any help is appreciated
First you gotta unlock your bootloader to go further.

what would you suggest, should i go with the official Sony method or is there some other way around. i don't want to lose the warranty, just in case something goes wrong. since, you are using a neo V and even the ROM... what are the major positives & negatives?
thanks

all that you can do now is to reflash your phone with a generic firmware using flashtool. Such threads are available in xda forum. look for it follow it. hope it works.

Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Update mystery
Xperia Mini Pro SK17i update is mystery, i update my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4 ICS and i experienced certain inconsistencies, after searching for hours it found that i should repair my update and after that do factory default, i did that and it made my phone much better. Now everything is fine accept one think that making me hate my phone, it's battery backup which is very ugly. It hardly goes one day in mostly standby mode.
If anyone else like me is frustrated with only battery issue or know how to fix it than please reply...

hi guys,
I am quite a noob, and trying to figure this xperia thing, after at last I managed to nicely root and flash my htc.
But it seems on xperia it is all working different. What I need, is generally to delete bloatware, to do so I need root.
But to get root I need to flash a ROM first? In htc it's rooting so that you can flash roms. It all gets me confused.
Is there a way then to root without any weird downgroading/flashing roms?

If you are on gingerbread you can root it on older Firmware than .62/.69, otherwise you must downgrade and upgrade again. Just Check out my signature

If you want to remove bloatware apps it's easier to remove them from the zip package before you flash the rom.
Open the the rom using 7zip or similar program (open archive NOT extract it).
Then go into the system folder and there is an app folder (system/app).
The app folder contains pretty much most the app's that are on your rom.
Just go through them and delete the app's you don't want, there are plenty of lists around of safe apps to delete/remove, there are some on here and if you google you will find more.
Hallo everyone. I just created a ftf from update files downloaded by SUS. This is the stock Indian GB 2.3.7 ROM (Build 6.0.B.3.184) from sony. I created this to keep a GB rom backup ready before upgrading to ICS, just in case I feel like going back
Thought I would share it with everyone in case someone needed it.
It was confirmed to be ok and working.
so here you go

By world generic, u mean every country or region would be able to install this without restriction?
I heard this stock version is the best, though, I think custom rom is better.
Believe me, you don't need these extra apps. Worst case, you can download some of it manually

Guys, I installed this stock rom onto my xperia u. But now it is stuck on the SONY XPERIA Logo, which goes blank and keeps blinking the same again and again.
I am unable to re-flash as the flashtool is not recognising the phone in flashmode (holding volume down button) and plugging USB Cable.
Please help to unbrick my phone.
Thanks in advance.
I'm from the Philippines I flash this stock kernel, my question is when every time I send a message to my friend my number has additional number, ex. Our country code is +63 then followed by a ten digit number, like +639104884645 but when I flash this Rom my number has this additional number like this 28146390104884645 it has additional 4 digit number.
