I've been using .54 FW since the day it was first posted in this Forum. But suddenly a few days ago, The message "New system update available - 6.1.1.B.1.54" pop up in the notification shade. It requires me to connect to PCC in order to update.
I'm confused, what kind of update is that? I am using Official Global Stock .54

Hi I want to update my phone but I'm confused with all the problems and the SI numbers that are needed in order to update to ICS I'm thinking of updating via flashtool, since I connected my phone and Pc companion didn't detected a new version, besides .62 ( I'm using .58 fw) so I want to know if I can update it yet, or I'll have to wait more? I also want to know if I have to update to .62 before updating to Ics? Thanks

Nope.u can directly update to ics.but dnt forget to wipe data before update.it will give u fresh feel

you don't have to wait if you don't want to and you can update straight from .58 its not an issue.

Anyway, if you wipe, you can't have a rooted phone.
To root your 4.0.4 you have to follow THIS steps.
Otherwise, just flash ICS via flashtool.
Ok guys thanks for your help, but nobody told me how to update, I mean pc companion don't fine me the ics update, how could I install ICS? You say I don't have to wait, so is there an ics update for lww available? If so, where can I download it?

It's an upgrade to your current kernel, it should just flash fine and your rom should keep working.

Sure dude? Can't we upgrade replacing the ftf somewhere with shell and modifying some init config file, as we do on linux?
If not, i wonder why the MiniCM notification has the download option.

MiniCM is the ROM, not the kernel, If you have an official CM-ROM on your phone you can get OTA updates for that, but that doesn't include the kernel of your phone.
The main reason you can't update kernels without a computer is because your phone has to be in flash-mode in order to reach the parts where the kernel and loader are stored, and if your phone is in flashmode, you can't access it manually to edit anything.

By the way, i know minicm is the rom, but the minicm notification has both rom and kernel (nAa kernel) update notication. It is a cm based rom.

Yes, i know minicm is cm-based, but it's an 'unofficial' port, so i'm not sure if you actually get Over-The-Air updates (where the relevant parts of the ROM are updated on the fly), or just notifications that updates are available and that you can download them from somewhere, or if you even get notifications, i haven't used it long enough to find out
I dowloaded the kernel with the notification to sd... But need flashtool anyway. Maybe it is for quick flash because don't have to visit xda thread.
Thanks for answers
that does make it a bit easier i suppose anyway, you're welcome
It is actually possible to flash kernels without a PC. It just hasn't been coded into our CWM and the correct way hasn't yet been found/added for the Mini/MiniPro. It is possible but you'd need a JTAG as you'd probably kill the phone quite a few times!
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.

just start over.
flash the stock 2.3.3 firmware via flashtool. you can find ftf files to be flashed in the thread linked in my signature.
Also, dont use ICS alpha 1 by zdzihu as its not usable for daily basis.
Instead go for cm9, aokp, etc roms which are also ICS.

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.
