Can i use the system dump to restore using xrecovery 0.3?
Apparently also works with other generic firmwares, such as the DE one.
works for me as well. I am on a branded X10a Rogers phone in Canada. Flashed the above ftf and everything works perfect. I was on J's CM7 at that time.
It's working!!

Hey guys,
i want to downgrade my Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V to Gingerbread, cause i don't like the ICS. Is there a chance to downgrade the Phone? I can't find a Original 2.3 Rom to install it..
Can anyone help me?
Via Wotan Server,but it will cost you 2 euros or flash this version via Flashtool. https://rapidshare.com/#!download|1...266662|R~2C3B93AFF3A3AA8419FBFA1C02642EB2|0|0
Here is how i did it for my NEO-V , please be cautious while selecting the files .
There may be other ways to downgrade, but i did it following ways.
1. Get the tft file - Choose for flashable 42
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19808360&postcount=3
Then extract the tft file into firmwares folder in the flashtool menu.
2. Flash the tft with help of flash tool. Check wipe cache, Wipe User Data. , Uncheck all others.
3.Now your phone has 4.0.2.A.0.42 Raw generic firmware .
4. Reboot into phone.
5. set usb debugging on
6.Start Flashool, advance, root and then Force zergRush , Reboot system.
For more info look here zergRush Exploit -

7. Install in your device CWM for bootloader lock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509
8. Phone is rooted now and now you have option
8.1 OTA to get firmware 62. (Don't modify anything before update .62 )
8.2 Choose the appropriate ROM & Kernel for neo from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446308

if you have flashtool installed then You need to go- C:/Flashtool/Drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe (assuming that you are using windows)
and install drivers for xperia p,u,sola....
or you can find them in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24883071#post24883071
or here:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-p-xperia-u-and-xperia-sola-drivers/
OR TRY THIS:
The best way to get round this is to navigate to settings/storage/ and unmount your external card, your MTP driver should connect now.
