Hi I want to update my phone but I'm confused with all the problems and the SI numbers that are needed in order to update to ICS I'm thinking of updating via flashtool, since I connected my phone and Pc companion didn't detected a new version, besides .62 ( I'm using .58 fw) so I want to know if I can update it yet, or I'll have to wait more? I also want to know if I have to update to .62 before updating to Ics? Thanks

you don't have to wait if you don't want to and you can update straight from .58 its not an issue.

Anyway, if you wipe, you can't have a rooted phone.
To root your 4.0.4 you have to follow THIS steps.
Otherwise, just flash ICS via flashtool.
Ok guys thanks for your help, but nobody told me how to update, I mean pc companion don't fine me the ics update, how could I install ICS? You say I don't have to wait, so is there an ics update for lww available? If so, where can I download it?

Check my signature. For the procedure. You will need ftf files for your phone, which you can search here in xda.
Thanks,

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.

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 think you can only do it with flashing it back, so flash gb and then ics. Look here.
I have used this method before and rooted my phone..is there a way to reinstall the official ics without having to use this time consuming root method agin?Just keep the root as it is

I think when your bootloader is unlocked you can root ics. But normally you need the downgrad-upgrade method

Boot-Loader Unlocked = Flash Custom Kernel
Boot-Loader Locked = Than flash Stock ROM with flashtool, un-check wipe data & wipe cache before flashing, after flashing do a factory reset
Yes you can .. Flash official ics ftf and then flash a custom kernel such as rage or kamarush .. Then you have to flash a zip file..There you are done.. Follow this guide last section...http://naw32fsystem.blogspot.in/2012/06/how-to-upgrade-live-with-walkman-to-ics.html

Another question..how can i completly unroot my phone..and back it as i bought?!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you've rooted your phone, and installed CWM....just go installed custom JB ROM
If your region doesn't have JB provided yet, you will not get it officially....
That's not purpose of having root on your phone

Flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com using ODIN.
This will also unroot your phone.
If you have the option to update your phone, and I think you have, just click to check your software version, do it over wifi, so I've done to me, you'll have official jb, un rooted.
So..that will earase all data?!! Or it will keep it..apps and all thing
And link plz for the last firmware in egypt..i have found 4.1.1 for egypt on sammobile..but csn't download it..is that one ok?!and link for it plz

I rooted my stock 4.0.4 and then OTA updates wouldn't function at all. I've found that updating through Kies via USB cable overrides this. I couldn't try this with my own phone as I already flashed a stock JB rom, but tried it with my mom's and worked perfectly well.
U have upgrade roored ics to jb via kies with out flash stock one first?"!!

I've been using .54 FW since the day it was first posted in this Forum. But suddenly a few days ago, The message "New system update available - 6.1.1.B.1.54" pop up in the notification shade. It requires me to connect to PCC in order to update.
I'm confused, what kind of update is that? I am using Official Global Stock .54

You don't flash the while system, just kernel you should be able to find it iin XU development forum.
When you done rooting flash your stock kernel back from the firmware FTF you flashed , uncheck everything other than kernel.
thanks

Am sorry for bothering you, am just juvenile, I just want my device rooted on .100 because that's the most stable Rom... So you mean I have to downgrade(to .10) n root, then later upgrade to 100.. Is it possible that way?
