Hi everyone who read my thread! I'm a new Android user.
I have read some threads about downgrade Xperia Neo from 2.3.4 (Build 4.0.2.A.0.62) to (Build 4.0.2.A.0.42) using FlashTool. And here I have some questions want to ask the expert users to confirm before doing the downgrade:
1. I need to unlock bootloader or not for using FlashTool ?
2. Am I be able to update the phone again via the phone official OTA update ?
Thank you if you can answer my question...

Read the guides posted on the page you've posted your question.
i have read this guides : X10Flash 2.1 final & 2.1 Firmware (Update Regions 13.11.2010)
x10 Flash 2.1 Final + Global World Firmware 2.1
but in both says old 1.6 Firmware can not be flashed with this at the moment) should i first update to r2ba026 ?? or can i use any of this 2 guide to update directly?

And as I'm sure it's pointed out in them it's to flash 2.1 fw only, not 1.6.

We're all noobs at some point.
i have build number 2.0.2.A.0.24 with other words the latest update on my mobile however is there any way to downgrade it or root it?
thank you
Downgrade with X10 Flasher from b4nary and root with zdzihu prerooted 2.02.A.0.24 for Xrecovery. Search Forum and you will find how to do it.
Flash with THIS, install THIS, then THIS, and you'll have an up to date and rooted X10.
Anyway, you can root stock .24 firmware now without flashing to the pre-rooted version.
check out below thread.
SonyEricsson Xperia X1 & X10 and looking forward to Xperia Arc in April 2011. Current X10 Firmware Version : 2.1 - 2.0.2.A.0.24

hello guys. thanks for the replies. i saw the post yesterday!!
Hi
i have unlocked mini pro and i have some questions:
1) my phone says it has the latest firmware...i have .58 version not .62... can i force the installation of this new firmware ?
2) what is new on .62 ?
3) what is the easies way to unlock boot since i see some ways of doing it but i dont understand what is the best (i dont want to loose warranty nor SE stuff acess)
4) i do want to keep stock firmware since i like it and its stable
5) anyone knows when will official ICS will be launched by SE?
regards
You can unlock your bootloader by testpoint method you will not loose warranty if you do this way search for the thread you will find it.
Official Ics will be launched end of march tentative.
its not QnA
u can post this on Xperia Mini & Mini Pro & Active General
Mod remove this thread plz
nothing new in .62 only some minor bug fixes and it patches the phone so that it cannot be rooted.
Dont upgrade if u want to root
I have unloked bootloader (sony's method) and ics 4.0.3.
I want to update to ics 4.0.4 (rom for Greece , not the generic) , but pc companion tells me that i have modified rom and cannot update.
Is there any way to get the latest official update 4.0.4 for my country ?
Re-lock the bootloader!
flash this with flashtool
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd
you can re-unlock the bootloader again after the update (I did so several times)
p.s. i used the official SE method to unlock the bootloader
Will try. Thanks.
Worked !!!
I installed official 4.0.4 with sus and then rooted the phone.
Feels fast , faster than custom roms.
next time, please dont open up a new thread for this. a lot of people with the same problem as yours have been answered. just a friendly reminder. this is a development forum.
Hello friends, sorry for my poor English .. I've been reading quite rooteo methods for this phone, but from what I saw for the model are all MT11i, and mine is MT11a .. My question is this, I can follow the same rootearlo tutorials? No 3G I lose in the process? (My team is Argentina Movistar) Once rooteado what I can upgrade to ICS and re rootearlo? Right now the team is with version 2.3.4
Thank you!
Greetings!
Same instructions goes for both versions, i and a.
If you are on locked BL, .62 can't be rooted directly. There is a thread how to root .62, look for it.
There is also a thread how to root ICS.
If you are on unlocked bootloader, then you can root any fw you want.
