Hi!
I´d like to downgrade my Neo from ICS to GB (locked bootloader).
I need a firmware 62 compatible (to flash my "562" Neo to a "62") and I found this one: "MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1246-9107).zip" (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/seandroid/files/xperianeo/firmwares/).
Is this firmware compatible with a locked bootloader Neo?
Thank you in advance!

You won't be able to change the Kernel without unlocking bootloader. Which xperia are You on?
I am currently on a custom ICS ROM.. And I want to try some GB ROMs too.. So what should I do?
Should I first flash the GB's stock ROM? If yes, then with which kernel?
Xperia Neo V..
Unlocked Bootloader..

Flash generic global .42 (comes with correct kernal) root it then OTA update to 62 install cwm then go from their do wat you want
But since I have an unlocked bootloader, do you think I would be able to update OTA?
Won't it brick the phone?
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
mine brick while update through OTA.i have to relock BL with s1tool...
So what should I do?
Should I flash the 0.62 ftf file using flashtool directly and then root it with the Doomlord's kit?
Or any other suggestions???

He's on unlocked bootloader, why messing with ota's..
@OP: if you wanna jump straight to some custom rom: flash .62 .ftf, and flash any custom kernel advised by rom creator.
Its same as you did with ics, first stock .ftf then kernel, then rom.
Hey man. If you previously were using the latest ICS Sony ROM before hopping to a custom ROM, then simply flash the kernel of that Custom GB ROM, wipe everything and flash as usual. You are good to go. There is no need to downgrade so long as you're on latest.

Yes cause you can't root ics for mini pro. You have to downgrade and then root downgraded firmware, use local-prop and then upgrade to ics without wiping data, then run push-root-files and you should have rooted ics!
I bought Xperia U couple of days back, I have already upgraded to ICS .10 stock firmware, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Now I need recovery (simple plain recovery, nothing added). Whats the easiest way?

Here is ftf for C6833 LTE Europe 14.3.A.0.681 4.4.2
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B51NBUj0yr7Fd2E4SHVmZFVDMU0/edit?usp=docslist_api
My c6802 is unlocked bootloader and running Cm11.
I have not much experience flashing Rom with ZU so could i use flashtool to flash this ftf file directly? Or i have to relock bootloader then flash ftf file?
Thanks.

No need to relock the bootloader just fire up the flashtool and flash it directly .............
ahhhh one more thing you have to use flashtool v 0.9.15.0 any older version will not work ..............

wait a minute....you can't run Cyanogen 11 because is not working with C6802....it gives bootloop. So how come you running Cyanogen Mod 11?

I will try cm11 right now.

I think I can't unlock the boot loader (service menu says: Bootloader unlock allowed: No), so it seems I'm stuck until someone finds a way to keep root with 681...
