then do it again, it should work since you didn't use official way to unlock your BL, judging by your signature, right?
p.s. read what poyensa wrote you about topic title. it should reflect essence of your problem.

Are you sure that i will brick my phone with PCC??? (ICS is only available through PCC right or wrong?) SUS is sure that won't brick my phone ?
P.S have you had a personal experience about telling me that PCC might brick my phone?

Hm....sounds strange and confusing...
Well if you actually want to update to ics and you don't care about region and so just download a ftf file here in xda and flash it using flashtool it is easier and you don't have to wait for a regional or even branded update.

As you unlocked your bootloader via testpoint, Your bootloader is patched. So SUS or PCcompanion detect is as locked only, also your DRM data is preserved so you can use the Sony's track Id and PlayNow apps. Connect you phone Via SUS / PC-companion and Enjoy the Stock ICS ,587. :angel:
Please hit thanks if I helped you
Why posting a new thread if you dont search ??
Please use search and open your mind!

Just flashing a stock kernel won't affect your user and system data! And neither would OTA update..
But flashing a ROM would..
Sent from my Xperia Neo V
I know Flashing kernel will not affect my Save data but wasn't sure about Update
Thanks mate.
i don't understand... the bootlader is unlocked how can he receive an OTA update..!
I don't know and I was wondering too!
Receiving an OTA update is no issue! But updating the phone through it is..
Because phones are often bricked when people try to install the OTA update.. But many users have reported that installing the update is possible if you unlocked your device via test point method!
If you unlocked your device the official way, you will eventually end up bricking the phone!
Sent from my Xperia Neo V
I unlocked my Bootloader via Official method.
Thanks for the info and I will never think about updating my Neo via OTA.
No problem!
Many users have faced this problem of bricking their devices when doing OTA update..
Thought of passing that to you too!

I just hope someone upload a ftf file of this new update.

answer: I think you have unlocked bootloader..
you need to lock it using a ftf "Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf" using flash method. Find in this forum for the ftf or google.
after that perform the update..
thanks

That was link to fix FOTA aka Firmware over the air upgrade brick fix link and it was floating here in our forums since long!!
Normally people who've unlocked bl,while trying OTA brick the phone and that's when this comes handy @Lw I think that's where you got a bit confused
