After flashed this would destroy your user data! before you flash this ,I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you make a Nandroid backup first from CWM! so make sure you have installed CWM.
--------------NOTICE-------------
6/5: According to some users' bugs report, I removed the ICS version and wait for the fix as for now. AND is there anyone notice that Neo V 4.0.4 firmware has no vendor.sin? what is that mean ?
--------------NOTICE-------------
TUTORIAL:
If you know what is Flashtool and CWM,you dont have to read the tutorial, I think this thread is clear enough to follow .But there is still some guys not succeed by following me.
1. Reboot your phone into CWM
2. Move to "Backup and Restore",then select "Backup"
3. When backup done, power off
4. Unzip the attachment ,flash it with Flashtool
5. Go into CWM again,select "Backup and Restore" > "Advanced restore",select your last backup then "restore data"
unzip the file flash with flashtool. and you see the data partition changed to 420m same as NEO V!
no matter you restore from CWM or install a new ROM it would not change back to 380m ,unless you flash the stock NEO FW.
it should work on 42 or 62 FW, I didnt test the rest versions,but you could try it.
it should work for arc compare to arc s,too.
actually , cache.sin and userdata.sin in ftf are from NEO V FW.
here is my partitions info:
/system 312.5m in total
/data 420m in total
/cache 101.5m in total
system and cache didnt decrease while data increase, I dont know where those 40m come from.
maybe here it is :
system+data+cache comes to 834m.
we know NEO has 1G ROM which actual size is 1000^3 / 1024^3 = 931.3m (according to NAND flash chip)
maybe still 97m out there invisible!
thanks my friend parsky from Gfan forum for his discovery!

No,wipe battery stat is only needed if your battery indicator is showing some weird indications!
It doesn't do anything at all!
You can skip it safely!

Hey!
try flashing CWM again.
if you've unlocked booloader and you have stock recovery
flash a custom kernel like linaro , lupus, PAC kernel, sirkay ,,,,,
if you have unlocked bootloader and have custom recovery
try reflash kernel or flashing some other kernel ..

Hello people
First i wanna apologize for my bad English, but i know you will try understand me
After some hours of bootloop on my Neo MT15i i finally makes it to work This is my way to install Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2:
First you will need those files Flashtool 0.9.10.1... last one
Those files too from my dropbox, screenshot for flashing options, nearly stock kernel and MT11i_4.1.B.0.587_Customized_NCB_Nordic.ftf (yes i know is for MT11i, and i'm with MT15i).
1. Flash boot_ICS_plus_v5.img KERNEL
2. Flash MT11i_4.1.B.0.587_Customized_NCB_Nordic.ftf as i show it in screenshot and you will have increased /System and /Data partitions (thanks to MaxWorks with his thread
3. Boot to CWM and Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Mount and Storage, then Format /System
5. Advanced then Wipe Battery Stats
6. Install zip Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2.zip
7. Choose your options on AROMA
8. It's WORKS now
Shame on me, but is my first post and i can't post it at Xperia Ultimate HD Developer section thread
Good Luck
You could've posted in Ultimate HD q and A thread!
And this is pretty much known that
NEO users have to do this for any Rom normally so it was not quite required!
My point is :why create a thread for this?
You're trying to help I get it,but still!

Ok people i got it. If it useless let moderator delete it or stop comment it to go bottom and fade to archives. But let me tell you something: increasing /system and /data is not important for all ROMs. UHD 2 doesn't require it and when i have tried to update it with 3.0.2 my phone was bootlooped. At Dev section every 5th post was about the same, and some people aways says "Its working for me, which kernel you are using?", not so helpful right? When i tried to find firmware that i need to fix my phone, all the links was dead. Finally i have do my post, share working link and you people critic me. I'm newbie, most of people at this forum too and really want to help them.
BR
I respect your intention buddy...i think u should change the title...let this tutorial be universal...i.e...for all roms...and modify the instructions in a way to help install all roms.

I'm sorry if I post in the wrong topic, but I can't seem to install xperia ultimate hd (3.0.2 ) on my NEO and I can't post in the developer section.
I have a Xperia NEO with a LOCKED bootloader.
I have tried two times, and I get the bootloop after the SONY logo, also the leds of the buttons get switched on and I have to reflash the original firmare using flashtool.
The steps I use:
-Flash MT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Global.ftf with flashtool
-Flash MT15I_4.1.A.0.562_Kernel
-Root using DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su
-Flash MT15i_4.1.B.0.587_kernel
-Install CWM (install-cwm1.cmd)
-Boot to CWM
-Wipe Data/Factory Reset
-Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
-Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
-Install zip from SD card
-Follow instructions from AROMA (always careful to chose NEO as phone model and Locked Booloader)
-Tick the "reboot" option from aroma
-BOOTLOOP
Some people say that I should not tick the reboot box and reboot from cwm (but, from what I've seen, it exists Aroma installer and reboots from CWM).
Plase tell me what I do wrong, I hate to do this again and still get the booloop I mean, if it's 100% the reboot box from aroma, I will try it.. but if I do this and another bootloop then I will get very frustrated because its time consuming to reflash, reroot etc.
Thank you!

If u have already repaired ur phone using PCC then no need to flash the whole firmware ftf using flashtool...
