I have searched all over to find a working link for the old firmware before 4.0.4 i hate this new firmware the phones really laggy and crashes allot. SO i assume my best option is to go back to what was working the 2.3 firmware.
Can someone please help me with a working link to the old firmware or a solution to the broken 4.0.4 ive now lost flash support and cant watch iplayer via the browser.
Thankyou.
You did a bad search.
There are working links in Neo dev section. Link with stock fw's is linked in one of the sticky threads.
And in same (stock fw) thread, somewhere around end I uploaded .42 and .62 fw, both working fine.
Can your share the 2.3 firmware link? I want find the original taiwan firmware for 2.3. Thanks

I would just like to make one note, even if it's not response on request.
Do not flash Android 2.3.2 on your phone, anything above that is ok, but don't flash 2.3.2. Not sure if you know that or not, but just to make it sure, since you just wrote 2.3.
No..Ics New firmware bulid number .587 is the best for Neo..I'm also Neo user.Please updat your phone to ICS .587..I'm sure.. ou'll like It.. Here Is the Link the ICS new firmware..Hope you'll enjoy it

Hey Folks,
I Googled, I really did, so don't get angry at me...
As many others, I updated my phone to ICS, and found it really disappointing. Laggy, choppy, and the UI was messed up in few places(like getting to favorites in phonebook). Not to mention the annoying notification LED issue.
So, I went and installed CM 9.1 and tried also the CM 7.2.
Didn't like it, decided to go back to latest stock Gingerbread.
What is the latest OFFICIAL GB?
I've seen a thead about 4.0.2.a.62 on XDA forums, but the link to rapidshare wasn't working. I tired one I found on shady site(yeah, I know, stupid), but it had issues with physical qwerty, and I just didn't trust the software of a random site.
Currently, I'm running 4.0.2.a.58, but I'm receiving notification about an update to .62 via the update center in the phone, but it fails to install. (probably cause I put in a boot.img from CM 9.1 package) Also, the notification is annoying as hell. Any way to remove it?
Can someone please point me to the latest, RELIABLE GB rom? Also, is there a way to put back the original recovery image? (working download links and step by step instructions for a noob would be very appreciated)
To sum it up, how do I get my phone to be like a regular, stock phone from SE with the latest 2.3.4 android?
And no, there is no Sony service point in my country, and the vendor previously refused to honor the warranty and roll back official ICS to GB.
Welcome to the forum. Thread moved, please post all your question threads here in Q&A in future.
Also normally common questions can be answered by reading the sticky threads at the top of General like this one as they normally cover all the basics.
Thanks

Of course you can't do an over the air update on unlocked boot loader, this can brick your phone!
The latest official firmware is 4.0.2.A.0.62 and for Germany (only?) .69 that you can download as a flashable zip
There is no recovery image, xperia devices don't have a stock recovery
You could flash a prerooted kernel for gingerbread (e.g. rage kernel), boot in cwm and flash .69 :good:

Thank you for the information
Now, is there a tested and working .62 image laying around? I've found one, but it messes with my qwerty, and I don't know where it came from and if someone put in bits that shouldn't be there....
The ones shown here in the forums is 4.0.2.A.0.42... (I have the sk17i model)
Hi there,
Excuse me for starting this thread, but it has been hours now, that I've been looking for a solution on the forum...
Unfortunately, couldn't get one
Let me introduce my device:
Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman
running 2.3.4 (.62) rooted with doomlord's kit by downgrading to (.58) and OTA update
CWM installed - full back up created on SD
bootloader unlock allowed:no
stock kernel 2.6.32.9-perf
So my question is : is there a custom ICS (preferably .587 based) rom that I could flash with CWM, directly onto the rooted 2.3.4 (locked bl), without the need of upgrading to generic ICS (when connect to PC it says that I already have the latest software updates) and of course without getting to brick the device?
Also it will be good if I keep the root on the phone.
Wrong section, bro. There is your place.
About your question. Yes, there are many ROMs based on stock ICS, but you mostly need to upgrade to ICS first. For example - xNXT, Revolution ICS HD, Zelly Cream, Viper etc.
If you want to upgrade to ICS, use Flashtool.
sry fr being a bit rude but u havent searched this section properly....
hav a look at the all-in-one roms,kernels,etc sticky thread by predatOr in this section...
Sorry guys, I only searched the development section... Never crossed my mind to look in troubelshooting. Thanks for the tip, you are the best
