There is no direct way. Only by root-ing .562 and doing OTA update.

I dont know if you seeing it, but when you turned wifi on, he got then a directy connect, wow thats way better on ICS 4.0.4

Madfysh,
Thanks,
The official update isn't available here in the UK and I updated flashing via wotanserver. So I'll have wait until a root method is compiled by one of the xda members.

if you use DoomLords kernel u should be able to root via flashtool or SOC as it is an insecure kernel. i think....

I'd wait for a new Kernal based on the new firmware. Also if you unselect "wipe user data" you should keep your data. I did but I lost the root from my phone.
Just make sure you backup first

Sony Ericsson will stick with their own skin. You won't see much of the native ICS theme.

Unlocked bootloader? Why relocking? I will use Wotan server as soon as ICS is out.
Relock is required to instal OTA, or seus or pc companion.

[Q] ICS 4.0 for Neo V in India

Hi All,
I am not that well versed with flashing ROM's or firmwares, I just have a quick question. Will I be able to get ICS 4.0 using PC companion or not? If yes, then When will I be able to get the update?
My handset is Xperia Neo V and the SI# is 1254-8966.
I don't want to play with Flash tools or Nordic firmware. I hope that I eligible for this update from Sony Ericsson.

i am using nordic version in India since 10 days!!
will now move to Indian ICS
Could anybody, with indian ICS, check if is avaliable at "settings" --> "more" or "other" --->"mobile networks": any checkbox about "national roaming" or something like that???
GB Global firm, has both checkboxes: roaming data AND national roaming data.
however, nordic firm, has not second one.
Thanks in advance

After installing .587 firmware using flashtool, i go to update center(from apps)then i found out that there is a system
update which is 14.4mb.
I think most of you guyz didnt know this so i'm sharing it with you.
I don't think this is any new update....
This is just ota update from. 431 to. 587
I think u did something wrong in the ftf flashing
I didn't mess up with the update..
I recently install .587 ftf file nordic using flashtool.
I check my phone( it shows bb 77 and version .587.
Then i click software update
and shows that there is new update which is 14.4mb file.
To bad i can't install it i already unlocked my device

I'm so confused because it is 14.4mb only..
A little late for this....
I was all official till yesterday, and even I got that update, I downloaded it and installed it (it took around 30mins to update!) but for me, I didn't find anything new from that. Infact my live view (application) started to crash more often than before.

I think that this will fix the Timescape bug with Facebook and is the previus step for upgrade to 4.1.H.0.23 or 21
i can't find any different !
i like sony , cause it like to play with us :silly:
after 3 years it want to kidding us :silly:
I downloaded and installed this last week and I didnt see anything new other then a new baseband... no other softwares that I dont already see on other firmwares.
So unless I missed anything (tested it for 2-3 days) all there is is a new baseband.
