hey guys , i am in Syria , and i wanted to update to ICS via PC Companion , but every time they tell me there is no Internet Connection , how to make it working with some proxy programs like (Tor , Hotspotshiled....)
Thanks in advance ...
I think, you have only one choice! use Flash tool !
I'm have NEO V and i'm from egypt
and i'm already updatm my phone to ICS Official Yesterday
but you can't update via air ( Via phone )
you must connect to PC via sony PC Companion
and you will find updates
if you need the way to update just tell me
regards
ICS was disappointing, very laggy and not smooth at all maybe you just wanna stick with ginger bread till the devs here optimize ICS ?! take care....

Please help
I have unloked bootloader (sony's method) and ics 4.0.3.
I want to update to ics 4.0.4 (rom for Greece , not the generic) , but pc companion tells me that i have modified rom and cannot update.
Is there any way to get the latest official update 4.0.4 for my country ?
Re-lock the bootloader!
flash this with flashtool
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd
you can re-unlock the bootloader again after the update (I did so several times)
p.s. i used the official SE method to unlock the bootloader
Will try. Thanks.
Worked !!!
I installed official 4.0.4 with sus and then rooted the phone.
Feels fast , faster than custom roms.
next time, please dont open up a new thread for this. a lot of people with the same problem as yours have been answered. just a friendly reminder. this is a development forum.
Hello friends, sorry for my poor English .. I've been reading quite rooteo methods for this phone, but from what I saw for the model are all MT11i, and mine is MT11a .. My question is this, I can follow the same rootearlo tutorials? No 3G I lose in the process? (My team is Argentina Movistar) Once rooteado what I can upgrade to ICS and re rootearlo? Right now the team is with version 2.3.4
Thank you!
Greetings!
Same instructions goes for both versions, i and a.
If you are on locked BL, .62 can't be rooted directly. There is a thread how to root .62, look for it.
There is also a thread how to root ICS.
If you are on unlocked bootloader, then you can root any fw you want.

I'll be getting more and more content here as soon as I have spare time to do that.
Also I want to get more carrier roms here, and more carrier settings and stuff here aswell, other than only Vodafone.
I couldn't find the ICS version for me either.
What I did was install 2.3.7 from here:

And then use update service to get a clean update to ICS with factory reset:

Hi
I upgraded to ics using that French ftf but now I want to get to my brands rom but I'm unable to, even by changing the build.prop to match my SI and restoring using PC companion (I did that and pcc said that the servers were down)
So, can someone please post the Vodafone PT rom?
My SI number is the 1261-8803
I need this before the end of the week if posible...
Thanks a lot

Edit: Even a CWM backup from a rooted VDF Portugal ICS rom it's ok, I just repair and it's done, what I really want is my phone to be with the Vodafone PT rom...

Advice? Install fw .89 and debloat it :cyclops:
Any doubts or questions just PM me in PT :highfive:
You can also find help on this site androidPT is in Portuguese.
But the masters are here in xda-developers.
I don't quite recommend using the .89, I found that debloating .54 got better overall smothness than .89... it's my personal experience, others maybe got different results, I don't know.
I'm actually using a generic unbloated .184 Gingerbread now, and I'm satisfied with it except for the speaker sound...
As TugaDriver said, AndroidPT is a good forum if you're needing help... but I found there some "noobiness"... There are some guides there that are very bad explained and some procedures that are incorrect...
To start you in, if you bought a Xperia U locked to TMN it has "Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No" which means you can't unlock the bootloader.
But, you can root it using the Bin4ry tool, that you can find here in XDA.
To root, you need to be with .10 Sony ICS kernel... if you already updated your phone to .54 on PC Companion, now all you have to do is flash .10 ICS Kernel, boot up the device, follow the rooting procedure, and after the root is done, reflash the .54 ICS Kernel.
Note!: This flashing of kernels is made on the Flashtool by Androxyde. You can only use flashmode. Fastboot is only for the ones that unlocked bootloader. Also, with locked bootloader, you can only flash official Sony kernels.
After you got root access, you can now install CWM For Locked Bootloaders by Atis. This is a costum recovery that you install and lets you flash roms into your phone.
After you got CWM on your phone is time to flash a rom! You can choose whatever rom you like from our forum that has "Locked Bootloader" or "LB" on the name.
All you need to know to start is this. If you have any questions you can leave them in Portuguese to me, via PM.
All the tools I mentioned in this post can be found here on XDA.
I'm in stock .54 debloated with some mods and customizations, and I'm very satisfied with it. My only dream is run cm10 in my lb device
Thanks Rock because I was thinking about unlocking my bootloader but my Xperia u was bought on TMN I thought if I asked for PIN unlock it will unlock my bootloader unfortunately it can't... hope CM10 would come to locked...
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
If you ask for SIM Unlock you need to then sent it by yourself to the Sony technical assistance here in Portugal, they'll change Bootloader Unlock Allowed from NO to YES
EN: Updated the main post with .54 Vodafone PT link
PT: Atualizado o post principal com o link para a rom .54 Vodafone PT
I changed the topic of the thread, now it will get more and more content!
Stay tunned
Guys I'm confused. I bought my Xperia Sola as it is it already had ICS on it and I Have not rooted the phone before can I go on with flashing the phone with the ftf file? or do i have to unlock the bootloader thing first?
Oh and Does the Central Europe Gingerbread use English.
