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

Want to uppdate my Xperia Neo, confused.

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.

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.

Better First upgrade to ics. Is your Bootloader unlocked?
Otherwise you will have to use local prop method. Check out my signature there's a rooting guide. In the guide there's how to root 4.1.B.0.431 and there's the Link to DragonClawsAreSharp's great tutorial

If your Bootloader is unlocked you needn't do the procedure in the tutorial, just Flash the ics Firmware ftf via flashtool and Flash a custom ics Kernel, for example rage Kernel for 4.0.4. After that install the custom rom

Just flash it with wipe all, but before do a backup using for example titanium backuü. Wipe all and exclude nothing.
After flashing plug off, let phone turned off, hold volume up and connect to pc, flash a rooted kernel (like I said for example rage kernel for 4.0.4) and boot up. Enable usb debugging and unknown sources and msc mode (not necessary just for sure), push the rom installation zip to sd card and shut down.
Flash the recommend kernel and boot in cwm. See what has to be formatted/wiped and after that install the rom.
Reboot and enjoy

You can't Update until Sony hasn't released it. If your bootloader is Locked you can connect to pc companion and it'll find the Update, but it has to be released First. You will have to wait

return to official rom

So I had this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876792) and i wanted to go back to my official rom. I went to CDW wiped out system, date, ect etc and I tried to restore my backup which I did with my CWM before I use the custom rom. Everything ok but when I reboot me device it shows the bootlogo of the custom firmware and not the sony and after that it goes black. How do I solve this? I searched but I didnt find anything
Please be more exact on what you wiped and formatted all. What kernel and cwm version are you using? Did you made the nand backup with the same cwm version?

And you flashed back stock (based) kernel?
When you flash .ftf rom using a flashtool, it flashes all official components (rom, kernel, baseband) by default. I apologize flashtool is a most useful method to go back at stock rom. What do you think?

Yea. Cwm doesn't reatore kernel. Just the system, data dalvik etc.
You'll need an ics kernel like alliance or suave to boot into the restored backup.

there is no cwm for locked bootloader on gb, that's why i didn't mention it. You have to unlock bootloader, install custom kernel prerooted and with cwm.
What do you mean for stock kernel and cm10.1 kernel? I am confused. Stock kernel is one thing and cm10.1 kernel is another thing. cm10.1 kernel you can find it inside the zip with the rom you have to download.

1. no matter which ROM I use how can I flash GB or ics stock ROM via PC/flash tools in offline. It should work 100% (because xperia u got only limited internal memory. and that's why I can't keep backup files alway . and if I break my phone I will not able to use internal memory to copy any files there)
2. can I switch between any to any type ROM like
GB to cm10
cm10 to ICS
3. can I switch between stock gb to custom ICS ROM directly?
I will unlocked my bootloader

Please break it down, am too new to all this, please do you mean I should downgrade to version 10. Then after rooting it I will flash it back to to version 100? If so do upgrading to version 100 after I might have rooted it on version 10 don't unroot it? Thanks

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?
