Is your bootloader unlocked?
If you have your bootloader unlock, it's impossible to make the MAJ by PC Compagnion or OTA
Make the MAJ by FlashTools with new firmwares !

No, my bootloader is locked.
Maybe the update is not available (yet) for your region.
Is it maybe a driver issue? Does the program give you a reason what's the problem? You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling the program.

If you still can't update to .62 via OTA, then just flash it with a WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58_UK Generic(1254-1868).ftf. It updates via OTA.
Make a backup of your region's firmware though if you wanna claim warranty later.

Is there any way I can install Official ICS without the bootloader unlocked & without flashtool?
Surely I can update to it somehow due it being rolled out xperia phones?
My phone is the Xperia Ray.
You have to wait for ICS to release in your region.
OR
You can root and edit build.prop i.e change the CDA string to the ones which have recieved the update and then update it using PC companion.
BUT the most simple way is to flash a ftf file using flashtool .
Flashing official firmwares do not require unlocked bootloader or root

Hmm, I downloaded a firmware posted by a moderator on the sony ericsson forum last night, would that work?
Ok, I'm flashing ICS now.
Hello, today (6/16) Sony Mobile has posted my SI-number on their Xperia Mini ICS thread, which means that the official ICS update is now available for my device using the PC Companion.
Problem is, I have unlocked my bootloader & I'm now running the stock Gingerbread with a prerooted kernel. I've read many topics where people get bricks by updating their unlocked SE phones via OTA or the PC Companion.
The solution seems to be extracting the update from the PC Companion, and then flashing it with Flashtool. But I'm a n00b and I don't know how to do this, can some1 help me . Just don't wanna brick my phone now, I need it xP.
Oh, and another question, if I update with the official rom, will I lose the unlocked bootloader?
You have two ways to do this. One is the simplest in the world: find a .ftf file for stock ICS rom and flash it through flashtool. And that's all.
If you want to upgrade through PC Companion, you'll have to:
1) Flash stock kernel
2) Relock your bootloader
3) Use PCC to upgrade

No, it won't. Don't worry
Unlocked bootloader is only a problem when using PC Companion or SUS

If you factory reset your phone, you'll have a clean ICS installation. There's no official way to get back to 2.3.4, you have to flash it using Flashtool. Check THIS tutorial, point 4
Omg, its a very hard processing for me.
It's not, really. Just read carefully the tutorial
Anyway, why would you downgrade? What does ICS have that you don't like?

I become root, therefore return to 2.3.4 first offical rom.
Its a easy do root for 2.3.4
It' very easy to root 2..3.4 until firmware 0.58... from firmware 0.62 on it's not possible. So if you downgrade, use a .42 firmware. Then, you can update OTA (through the phone, not PC Companion) to 0.62

I know them. The first version will be hard to return for me.
Greetings all, I wanted to root my Xperia Neo whose bootloader was unlocked. I flashed it with .42 firmware using flashtool and then rooted it with DoomLord toolkit, uninstalled all bloatwares using titnium backup and then relocked my bootloader. At the end I tried update to .62 over OTA but it fails Update center downloads the firmware properly but when it fails to install on my Neo. What should I do? please help
Thanks in advance..

just download a .62 ftf and flash it.. dont bother about the OTA..
nicks25:
Flash version .42
Root via Doomlord's method
KEEP THE PHONE SW UNTOUCHED!
Make OTA update to version .62
Now you can remove bloatware.

and after that unlock your BL and root it by flashing superuser.zip trough CWM.
@CZMagic thanks buddy, it worked. and before I read my answers here on this forum, I had already done the process said by u.
The mistake I was doing was that I altered .42 firmware by removing bloatwares first and then I was doing OTA update for .62 firmware.
that's wrong way.
So if somebody facing the same problem, kindly do the following,
1> flash .42 firmware ( latest flashtool version might not read this firmware, so I used some old version v6.x.x )
2>Then do Rooting by DooMLord method
3>Re-lock the bootloader
4>update firmware to .62 over the OTA
5>install titanium backup from market which is free or get root explorer from 4shared freely
6> Uninstall the bloatware, All done!
P.S: Hit the thanks button

flashing .62 FW with flashtool loses the root access duh, but OTA doesn't. That's why OTA is recommended..

Are you sure it is available for Brasil?
Otherwise flash it with flashtool (voids warranty, but sony shouldn't notice)
if you have cwm installed with locked bootloader, it really wont update
