Guys I want to flash my 1257-6758 Xperia S (.62) to .73 Since .73 is not available for Indian users I would like to know that .72 version of which country do i need to flash and i would also keep my warranty of my phone intact.
That's up to you. I would recommend Norway generic fw
You wont loose your warrenty if you flash any of the available firmwares. Even apps, settings and so on will remain intact if u flash but make sure you uncheck "wipe data" in flashtool.

I'm running the NL generic firmware at the moment, seems very good and stable so far ;-)

Same for me. Standby battery life in combination with Juice Defender app is amazing since I've had .73

I was originally on UK generic unbranded FW. When the update came out I switched to Nordic 2.1 FW. Does anyone know how I can switch back to UK generic 2.1 FW? I'm asking coz I wanna get the English keyboard back. Also to regain my warranty
I used the same method as u. Still am on the nordic version. I have always had the English keyboard. Not sure why u haven't.

hey guys,
just updated my x10 to 2.1 n I am surprised to say that I actually am surprised to say that I am liking it more than before.
I have to say android guys are doing great and hope their good work continues.
I am staying in Dubai and have been considering to flash my x10 to Nordic firmware since I bought it.
I would like to know if we can flash x10 to Nordic firmware without rooting it? Or is rooting compulsory? n I hope that would get me the market application
Thanks
No it doesn't need rooting it just need seus installed before starting

great.... so does flashing bring me the market application here in UAE (dubai)??
Moreover another question is I have already updated to 2.1
So can I still follow the general flashing rules with the available Nordic Rom or is there something different with a 2.1 updated version.
Thx

Hello guys,
I have the original Xperia Neo and want to manually update it to stock ICS, without unlocking my bootloader to avoid possible bricking in case later OTA updates arrive.
These threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26798415&postcount=141
that help you root your phone assume you're already on ICS.
Threads that help you update to ICS, assume you're already rooted. I'm confused.
I'm currently running stock and never unlocked or rooted the phone before.
Whats the correct way to update to stock ICS ?
If your neo on GB is not rooted and locked bootloader too, you can safely update via PCC or SEUS.
Also you don't need root initially to flash an ftf using flashtool. That is the only way to "manually" update any SE Phone.
But if it is rooted, flash an ftf file of 4.0.3 firmware. 562 using flashtool.( you will lose all your data. Also search on how to flash ICS firmware using flashtool.) , root it if you want to and proceed to OTA to 4.0.4 firmware. 431.
If you dont wish to root it, directly flash. 431 ftf. To update manually.

Not really, there are .ftf files in first post so you can manually install ICS with flashtool.
U dn't need to root for manually updating via flashtool !!

and then flash it only ? that's it?
the file is common to all Xperia Neo phones (regions) ?
Yeah. Only flash the proper ftf file. Also, if you want region specific, use Seus. there is hardly any difference in regions though.

Don't ever upgrade to ics. Your neo will become very laggy and most of the time applications will force stopped plus overheating and drains battery faster. I have experienced it.

Yeah. That's when you're a noob and you don't know how to optimize it and remove bloat.

Ok then how would you optimize your phone with ics

Root. And install supercharger. It is an all in one solution. Also if you do a bit of searching, you'll find fixes. Eg. Stock dialer lag fix by mpkiep in the Neo themes section.
And most of all unlock your boot loader and use another kernel. Also if you don't want to unlock, use a script to enable more governers for a kernel. Use those. On demand is not recommended for optimum performance.

I am searching for the above stock firmware as I have recently updated my Xperia GO to ICS but the battery life is terrible and the phone doesn't perform as well as it did before on GB (yes I have factory reset it etc).
Hence, I would like to flash back to the original firmware if I can find the correct version. My phone was bought here in the Philippines but the only firmwares I can find from searching are from India or Russia?
Thanks in advance!

You should always to check that you have the correct firmware for your specific device. But you can in theory flash/install UK firm on Europe Z2. But be sure to check this post, to always get the latest firmware and if you want a firm, you can find it there then. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
