Hello Everyone
As promised
Here is the Indian ftf file of the latest firmware for neov :
India ftf .587 : http://depositfiles.com/files/zlh1aa1eg
Rapidshare Link : https://rapidshare.com/files/229699....0.587_India SI 1254-8966 by abhiheart.ftf.7z [Nordic]
DepositFiles Link : http://depositfiles.com/files/fv41l9rv2 [Noridic ]
The ftf will work on all neov
Download & Extract using winrar or 7z
Install via flashtool
Do create a backup of ur current ROM
For rooting And CWM install : Same procedure as for .431 :Thanks Madfysh for the info on rooting and cwm
For peeps waiting on the kernel here is what u need to do : After flashing the ftf And rooting it and installing CWM: Go to flashtool again using flashmode U should have the.587 firmware ftf in firmware folder And in wipe section uncheck everything
In exclude section check everything except kernel that is dont check exclude kernel and thats it .. flash and reboot ..u should be fine ...
For those peeps getting bootloops after applying .431 mods on .587 here is the solution :
In CWM do clear u cache and dalvik cache before flashing the mods & for peeps looking to apply mods manually below are the instructions
For all those facing unexpected reboots on changing system apps listen carefully........
Dont directly copy the apps to /system/apps it will lead to a reboot...
Solution is
1. copy the app to /system first
2. Change permissions to rw_r__r__
3. Now copy the app to /system/app.
4. Replace it if necessary
5. As permissions were changed before replacing no reboot
6. After replacing as many apps as u want reboot the phone for changes to take effect
Njoyyy
Thanks to Salsreloded again Thanks dude
Thanks to Salsreloded for pointing it out (i knew but forgot) Thanks dude
Thanks to Samak46 bcoz of him i got to know that the update is out
For peeps not getting update on PC companion :
Install SEUS from here
http://www.sonymobile.com/in/software/phones/xperia-neo-v/
and update
For unlocked bootloaders will need to relock ur bootloader to update from SEUS or PC companion OR simply download the ftf and flash using flashtool ..root and install CWM an uare done
Good going... using kinght47's method need to get the useless apps stripped and keep it flash ready.. expect I-Scream, Hybrid, ICS tweaked on this soon

[XPERIA SOLA STOCK ICS FTF Build 6.1.1.B.1.54 - India(ASIA)]
Well,it is said that before installing any custom rom,always look for the availability of your region's stock ROM.Many of us don't and end up installing old firmware and then updating to the new one.
I had the same experience,there was no availability of .54 indian firmware for my Xperia Sola,searched XDA but to no avail.I only found one SEUS dump for .54 firmware,which i didn't knew how to use.So,i just made a FTF file using the files provided by Sony PC companion using Flashtool.
Here's the download link for the file:
Dev-Host Link
Hit Thanks,if i helped.
Thanks , but i want to ask you if that the Arabic Language is availble in the language list from settings?

Hmm..its strange it should have been detected.I myself have flashed this a number of times.
May be you have changed the extension of the file by mistake while renaming.If its not the case,just uninstall your flashtool and reinstall it.then remove any other ftf placed inside the firmware folder,place the downloaded Xperia Sola Stock Ics 6.1.1.B.1.54 [Indian-Asia] FTF.ftf inside the firmware folder.Then start flashtool,remove the USB cable if connected,switch off your phone,press vol. up button and insert usb cable keeping the vol up pressed,once it is detected by flashtool,release vol up button.then press harry potter's forehead sign,i mean thunderflash sign,don't change anything in it(make sure its on falshmode) and press OK.Then select the firmware as Xperia Sola(MT27) and press ok,flashtool will take some time to unpack ftf in memory,then flashtool will popup some sort of banner saying remove your usb cable etc.etc...just remove the USB cable from the phone,then press vol. down button,while keeping it pressed insert USB cable,let it be detected by flashtool,then it will start flashing firmware to your phone.DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE UNTIL IT FINISHES FLASHING.Congratulation you have installed the .54 firmware on your sola.
P.S After installing flashtool,install drivers for your phone,fastbootmode and flashmode.
and if you need to root your phone after flashing .54 firmware.Just flash .10 kernel in the same method,root via Bin4ry's method,then flash .54 kernel.
If you need any help,ask here or PM me.
Hope this helps.

Does the other files have .sin extension?If yes..Then try putting the file(archive) in the firmware folder and see if flashtool detects it as a flashable file.
