yes no problem. You have to check the boxes for "wipe data/cache/(dalvik)".
But why do you want do downgrade?
I want to root my device but i afraid if downgrading fw make the device hardbrick.... Just like that for now

ah okay, I think you have not an unlocked bootloader.
Then you truly need .42 .
flash the tft with flashtools.
root with zergrush and cwm with se tweak(er)

worked perfect in my case. Have done it last week a hundred times (falty rom)
Thanks i will try it ;-)

Hi guys,
I Just want to inform you that yesterday I updated my Xperia neo and got 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Does anybody know what are changes since previous build?
Using 4.0.2.A.0.62 I can not root using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su,
So becareful, you may need to wait until some solution for rooting is found.
Is It Available For Neo V Too ... Cant Find In My Region.. Will Wait Till There Is Any Solution For Rooting
Which region are you in?
Screenshot of about phone?

I have rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62.
First I flashed InteksV15 kernel. After I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.
it's working
But after it will be running on Inteks kernel. You may need to extract original one from 4.0.2.A.0.62
and reflash it.

I am from middle east too. Nothing so special in this update. I hope some official change log to be released
I reverted back my phone to .42, because there is not any straight and easy way to root this firmware yet.
i still have Build 4.0.2.A.0.42 on my Neo V
is that right, im from the netherlands
and my neo is rooted, is that not dangerous
and wil the neo v get Build 4.0.2.A.0.62 if it is rooted?
please respond.
Firmware

i still have 4.0.2.A.0.42 and my neo v is rooted,

I have my neo rooted with locked bootloader and 0.42 firmware.
If I upgrade to 0.62 ,I supposed it won't be rooted any more.
Right?
Any way to root it again with locked bootloader?

I can get the update, but I have an unlocked bootloader so I used flashtool. But I had a conversation with @SonyEricssonNL, and it turned out I have a scandinavian SI number.
I think you can just use flashtool to flash the ftf, also non-rooted.
i have lock bootloader
and i have installed adb driver
but it couldnt root

So today I found that a new update is available for my phone... But my phone is rooted and has changed SystemUI.apk for notification widgets and it uses AdBlocker... so my questions are: are there any major improvements and bug fixes and is it worth it? (because I've heard that 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware can be rooted only with flashing older kernel using the stock ROM). And how do I update it?
I will be thankful for any replies.

Download 0.62 ftf file.Move it to firmware folder in Flash tool.Flash button,flashmode.Select the 0.62 fw.Untick wipe user data,wipe cache.Tick Exclude system,exclude baseband.And flashing will only flash kernel I guess
But 0.62 fw with 0.283 kernel is the best battery saver out there
Can I update from 0.42 rooted neo mt15i (changed systemui.apk) into 0.62 directly from pc companion? (don't care if it will loose root)

Thanks for the heads-up. If I'd go with the update I will lose my status widgets in the pull-down menu and I don't want that. I should probably wait for the ics release then.
Thank you for the info!
I am on .42 too and will try the flashtool update method.
