I meant take an example that phone was locked to at&t and now its unlocked and used in india
so pc companion will give the update which is for indian mobiles
will not that conflict with the phone since it would be running at&t based software
And will that cause my phone to be locked again to at&t
n i read some where pc companion not detecting update and giving message as "Phone is up to date"
and really thanks to have patience and reply to my questions i'll try n hit the thnks button as many times i can

Update availabe for Xperia Neo- Build 4.0.2.A.0.62

Hi guys,
I Just want to inform you that yesterday I updated my Xperia neo and got 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Does anybody know what are changes since previous build?
Using 4.0.2.A.0.62 I can not root using DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su,
So becareful, you may need to wait until some solution for rooting is found.
Is It Available For Neo V Too ... Cant Find In My Region.. Will Wait Till There Is Any Solution For Rooting
Which region are you in?
Screenshot of about phone?

I have rooted 4.0.2.A.0.62.
First I flashed InteksV15 kernel. After I used DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.
it's working
But after it will be running on Inteks kernel. You may need to extract original one from 4.0.2.A.0.62
and reflash it.

i still have Build 4.0.2.A.0.42 on my Neo V
is that right, im from the netherlands
and my neo is rooted, is that not dangerous
and wil the neo v get Build 4.0.2.A.0.62 if it is rooted?

I can get the update, but I have an unlocked bootloader so I used flashtool. But I had a conversation with @SonyEricssonNL, and it turned out I have a scandinavian SI number.
I think you can just use flashtool to flash the ftf, also non-rooted.

i am using nordic version in India since 10 days!!
will now move to Indian ICS
Could anybody, with indian ICS, check if is avaliable at "settings" --> "more" or "other" --->"mobile networks": any checkbox about "national roaming" or something like that???
GB Global firm, has both checkboxes: roaming data AND national roaming data.
however, nordic firm, has not second one.
Thanks in advance

i dont have the firmware i had originally with phone backed up.
after flashing few GB roms + ICS nordic my phone is "nordic" branded.
i want to find my original firmware if possible and update that to ICS.
all i know is that the SI number on sticker behind the battery isnt the same one as showed in *#*#7378423#*# - service info - software info -> phone software version.

No, it will flash fw for same region which you have on your phone at the moment.
Only locked bootloaders can update through sony companion or bridge for mac
If you have unlocked ur bootloader, you can easily search forums at XDA to relock ur bootloader and get updates from sony !
Is there any difference between serial no. xxxx-xxxx but same region
Is there any trick or something that it can flash back or repair to my original firmware?

Only if you know your original CDF(customization) number. And no, that's not the one written on the back of your phone.

[Q] SEUS Update of other Country ROM

I flashed MT11i_4.1.B.0.431_Customized Central Europe 3.ftf to my Neo V.
Now i want to ask if i update my phone using PCC or SEUS then which one i ll get, Indian Or the same europian (I am in India).
and if i get europian update (in case), what should i do to get Indian Official Update from sony.
Sorry If I asked the same question but i didnt find satisfying answers?
Thanx
I don't think, there will any Update release from Sony anymore, but to answer your question goto
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
download your indian FTF file & Flash it using flash tool.
and you will get indian region update from Sony (if they release any)
there's an easy way too, just change the CDF Number to "1254-8478" from your europian CDF number in your build.prop
Reinstalling

But i can reinstall the software through SEUS as repair option, then i ll get the indian software through it or it will re install the europian?
if you use indian FTF and repair then you will get Indian rom,
but if you choose to change the numbers from build.prop and repair, then i am not sure but I believe you will get the indian rom.

[Q] Should i upgrade to JB on xperia go ?

hey guys,
I just bought my xperia Go, and i've been reading around, to "assimilate" all this information. I have a couple of questions:
Fact1: My phone is a locked bootloader, and is not possible to unlock.
Fact2: It has ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54
Fact3: My carrier (tmn Portugal) still isnt upgrading to Jb. So for me there is no official update to JB yet.
Questions:
Should i upgrade to JB ? wich rom should i use? If i upgrade to official JB, its not possible to root yet? Or should i root my phone before upgrade? Im confused, if you guys could help me out. Thanks
Do you get notification update at Sony PC Companion?
If no you need to root your phone and change SI number at build.prop to get update or you can download JB ft and flash via flash tool.
