Follow this video tutorial to install ADB/USB Drivers for your device
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IEdJZGQVI4
Step 1 ] Unlock Boot Loader
Step 2 ] Root Your Device (Only when you want to root your stock firmware,if you go with custom ROM then they are usually pre rooted)
Step 3 ] Flash custom Kernel And ROM

if you are rooted,and your system is not moded any ways just update to 062 via AIR and your root will stay,then you can mod system files and apks as you like.

I think there is still no simple way of rooting our .62 firmwares other than the downgrade trick...
its just simple...just follow the instructions...Ive been doing that always...
but what I did was, when I was at .62 via OTA update, I immediately made a back-up of the system via CWM...so everytym I downgrade and root + CWM, I just flash the back-up...that's just it for me, but I think other Users has their own way of doing it...

As I said I need a direct method, without downgrading to .42 ! Your thread is with downgrading so it wont help me ... And also without unlocking the bootloader, cuz my warranty will fly away ... Cuz I want to be able to root/unroot the phone anytime ... I cant always downgrade to .42 and upgrade it again ... That's the point ...

Why should we have to send our phone off for downgrade
Or flash it ourself when there cant be ass to fix the bugs
Sony is lazy now .
Sony's not lazy, Sony simply distribute updates. It's quite obvious that they don't allow downgrades.
Anyway, flashing a stock firmware is actually what the SE Centre would do. There's no chance you can incur into bugs or else.

But I have a Samsung Galaxy tab p1000 which is running a custom ICS ROM and everything is even faster than stock GB ROM. I think the developers community can bring ICS to work flawlessly on our little phones too
no idea why you downgraded, ut after ics my LWW is amazing, much improved battery life, performance is amazing.....even camera is improved in my opinion..
the only reason you would do a downgrade is to go back to gb, root your fone and then flash it to ics 4.0.4 to keep root....

No I downgraded from ics to GB because my phone's battery life was worsened. Also when I played riptide GP, it would freeze each time and reboot which indicated a bad performance. But the main reason was bad battery life!
i'm on ics e days now, battery is same as gb, gps locks faster, and no problems at all

Hello,
I've searched for a direct root for Neo V (4.0.4) but it seems that it's not available for the moment.
Do you know if it will be available one day or if Sony has corrected the hack ?

You are asking if we know if someone will discover exploit one day? Are you aware that there is no answer to that question?
Sony corrected exploits from .62, but that didn't stop someone find new one(in 4.0.3)
I would just say this, don't expect someone will go and search for new exploit, since available root is pretty easy(2,3 minutes job), so no one will bother with search.
If someone will find it it will be accidentally

In fact, I was asking in the case someone was already working on it.
So if I understand well, the exploit that allows the root in 4.0.3 has been fixed in 4.0.4 ?
Because I imagine that is not necessary to find a new exploit for each update. That could take time to Sony to fix it and they probably prefer to put resources on other stuff.

Hey guys,
I wanted to share a great method to harmlessly unlock the bootloader on Neo and Neo V which works on every device (before and after 12w14). Simply follow this steps:
EDIT: Use it over GB firmware, or flash ICS kernel after using this fix if You are on ICS and want to keep it, otherwise You will get bootloops!!!!
1. download this program:
http://www.2shared.com/file/xfkXTzdB/ZeroPercentFixTool.html
2. Register Your IMEI number on this site:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
and let the code be sent to You by Sony Ericsson to your e-mail.
3. Then open zeropercentfixtool.exe (remember to have all the drivers installed)
4. Copy the code into the program, click fix it and connect the phoine in fastboot mode.
5 After that it is better to desconnect the phone, and flash ICS kernel, than all should work perfectly
Voilla, done
You finally have unlocked the newer versions of xperia Neo/Neo V ))
PS. nevermind that the program says zero percent fix tool, it unlocks the bootloader as well. Tried on my Neo V 12w9 and 12w31 and it's working like a charm
Hope You enjoy it !

and i don't have to root my phone first .. another problem which i haven't even started,
Did u install flashtool drivers? Be sure to select ur device and fastboot as well as flashmode drivers. Nd I thinks theres no need of root in it. The menu button is fastboot button. Hold it nd connect ur phone to pc via usb. Reject the pc companion prompt. And follow to OP. Nd if ur on ics keep an ics kernel with u.

U CANT!!! I JUST used this guys method

Yes u can lock bootloader using dis method nd flash original firmware. U lose drm i.e. U ll lose track id nd music unlimited n such apps. Bt once u unlock nd relock u wont gt ur drm back by any method nd will lose warranty. And ur device wont b recognised by seus or pc companion. Ull have to flash using flashtool.

If BL unlocked officially, warrenty is VOID, no more official updates and DRM is lost.
U lose DRM for ever if BL is unlocked by official method. TrackID app willnot work.. this is what i have in my knowledge.
I never minded in unlocking it.. since i dont use it.
If you know what you are doing, then no problem at all.. so i unlocked BL officially.(no option,, manufactured 12w14)
If unlocked by unofficial method, then u can relock it.. search in the forum to gain more knowledge..
What would happen if I unlock my bootloader officially and mess while flashing ROM? I know about phones being brick, but have no idea of what is a soft brick and a hard brick. Someone to enlighten me?

You're right
Sorry for no responses, I was away.
To clear this, You need flastool and fastboot drivers, they can be found in flashtool folder for example. For fastboot drivers, You can try to download them (use google or XDA search) connect Your phone in fastboot mode( blue LED) and manually point them for windows to install.
As for ics kernel, the best way is to complete this fix in fasboot, reconnect the cable, then flash ics kernel and that's all
