I updated my xperia neo via OTA(the update 2.3.4). I tried to install however after 5 minutes, my phone turned on and it said that : could not install.....(or something like that, i dont remember clearly)
Is there anyone has the same problem?
Sorry for my bad english
is your phone rooted ?
My guess is that you phone is rooted and you changed something in the /system/apps/ folder, so you can't update OTA. You should re-flash back at 2.3.2 and then do a OTA or update with the PC Companion software but in this way you will lose root...

No, you got the problem only if you are already with the 2.3.4, if you flash back to 2.3.2 from the 2.3.3 firmware you should have no problem.
I tried restoring some apps which i had removed and download the update again however, the problem still remains.

Use wotanserver or flashtool. Faster and with flashtool you dont lose your apps and dont need mess restoring apps.

Read the forum and you see.. when updating 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 you got problems with battery. You had right now 2.3.3 and dont mess downgrading. Use flashtool..download latest 2.3.4 ftf and flash it. I did it about 5 times for testings and no problems at all.

I alway when flash new firmaware then i wipe device and after that i havent root.
I use different method to get root back. If your bootloader is open then you can easly make root back.
Use "rootxperia.zip" via clockworkmod recovery.
So. Is you phone bootloader open or on?
Anyone can confirm that?

Its good choice. When you have working computer, then make you updates.
Always good to have a usb cable and a working PC on hand when doing any flashing/updating/rooting etc with your phone. with 2.3.4 once it's installed and if you don't have root, as long as you have an unlocked bootloader you can use rootxperia to root your phone, however the kernel for overclocking etc (doomkernel) isn't working yet with 2.3.4 so i suggest until it is 100% working to stay clear of this, also to stay clear of any downgrades to 2.3.2 when you are on the 2.3.4 firmware.

If you are on locked boot loader, repair with pc companion or SEUS. You'll all lose your data though.

I tried that but my phone is already cant carry out any function anymore,pc companion cant detect my phone at all.anyway,thx.
Then search in neo general section for flashtool and ftf files. You'll need to flash ftf using flash tool.

I have a problem here. I was using nightelf oc kernel with JJ hybrid rom before. Then i decided to switch to KA21.1 latest.
Earlier i had tried to install KA18 and KA19 on my device but dont know why i faced some bugs so i quit it.
To install KA21.1 I first decided to install Official ICS 4.0.4. as a necessity to install KA21.1 device must have any 4.0.4 rom.
I flashed 4.0.4 using flashtool.
then I tried to install superuser. but got errors. I googled the issue and found the solution to install SU and CWM in latest 4.0.4 here .
after that i tried to flash KA21.1 in recovery mod. It was successfully installed and asked to reboot. After reboot device stucked at the Sony logo.
I re-tried the whole procedure from the beginning hoping I must have done some mistake. But the result was as it was.
Then I tried to repair my phone and update it through PCC. But at the end of its second step (2. Prepare), I got en error " Installation error - Unable to install or start phone software update components."
I again googled the problem and saw that SUS was helpful for some people who faced same problem. Then I tried SUS too. But It was also waste. SUS crashes after asking me to select my device.
Please Help. I just wanted to go for an light and fast rom.
Any suggestions/help is welcome. i wanted my phone working again.
Rooted.
BL : Locked
Now on Official 4.0.3 with stock kernel.
Doesn't ka require unlocked bootloader? All custom roms nowadays require that.. Except miui,jj

Not really. Only problem he would have is that pcc/seus would refuse to update his phone, with excuse of modified software.
Unfortunately he didn't even came to that step, as pcc had problems with updating components. Common problem with pcc, will be solved in a few days, or even on the same day.

1) depends how you unlocked your BL.
If official, then it won't work, if unofficial, then it will work but..
2) reinstall of pcc won't help because its not problem in your installation, but in connection to Sony's servers. But no harm in trying
But you do need to reinstall seus as you said it crashed even when selecting device (you mean from phone list?).

yea! it crashes automatically after i choose my phone from the list. and i have unlocked BL official way. But locked it using this. It says re-locking this way can redeem back warranty and also will be able to update using PCC/SUS.

you already had an unlocked bootloader so why didn't you install a compatible ics 4.0.4 kernel with root and cwm. After that flash sonys 4.0.4 ics via ftf file and you are done. You got you base to install that ka21.1 rom. That doesn't work?

There is not any "sin" in doing this. I have tried this many times. The thing is that whenever someone gets its phone stuck somewhere, he tries everything to get back his phone in working condition. I have even updated my phone using sus with "unlocked" bootloader !!!

You don't need root.
Just download flashtool, and the corresponding .ftf firmware file for your device.
Then flash it to your device using Flashtool.

Right you think its useless? Or that you cant flash a custom rom with flashtool?
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
It's not useless at all, but it's useless here. For a custom Rom you need to unlock boot loader which will definitely void warranty. Be safe man.

download an official jb firmware for your phone! download flashtool! enable usb debugging and connect your phone to the pc! Then choose the file you have downloaded and flash it!
You can also use SUS (Sony Update Service)......BTW did you use pcc to install it or downloaded it OTA.....

Try SUS/PCC like a lot here are saying. Hope your Internet connection is enough. God knows I tried via official methods but ended up downloading a generic ftf and flashing it.

Slight correction needed IMO: You need to unlock your BL only when your CUSTOM ROM needs a CUSTOM KERNEL.
He can try to repair phone with pcc or he can unlock bootloader and install STOCK or Custom Rom, who says that flashtool is only for custom roms , With unlocked boot loader he will void warranty.. yes.. a part that... he can lock the bootloader again..and I have not seen written anywhere in his topic question that he does not want to lose warranty... so mine it was just a suggestion... not an Obligation
Take care friend

anyways. My xperia P hasn't got any official update. and i am also waitng for official update rather than a manual update, I know the flashtool method is not a risky one but still you may get some problems in using jellybean. Becase the generic version and your S.I version would not be the same. my S.I = 1261-4989 ,
I have heard many bugs in jellybean, Album issue, white screen in contact and messaging, blutooth broblem, fast drain battery prob, slow charging, lagging, etc i wants to know, are these bugs are real or just a wrong imagination. Thanks
I havent seen any bugs so far for JB on xGO. And it performs quite nicely without having to edit build.prop or run init.d scripts. I'm using CE ftf.
