Hello, folks.
At first, sorry for my bad English.
I have an Xperia Neo V (MT11a), and I figured out that changing the build.prop file to make my phone "pretend" to be a MT11i would make my phone able to play some HD games. And yeah, it works. But I am having some issues on some games (specially Modern Combat 3) that I suspect that should end by upgrading my firmware.
So, as I am seeing now by reading the forum threads, it seems that my firmware version is quite old (4.0.1.A.0.283, running Android 2.3.4).
I really searched the forum about how to upgrade my firmware, but all threads I faced stated that having the 4.0.2.A.0.42 is a primary requirement; I didn't find a thread about upgrading from 4.0.1.A.0.283 to a newer one.
So, how can I upgrade my firmware? Because, here in Brazil, PC Companion always reports that my phone is up to date (but we know that it is not!).
Waiting for an answer, and thanks in advance.
Sir search for sony ericsson update service application for your pc..
(can't post URL cause i'm using only my phone)
Use it if pc companion are not working..
If i helped tou!! Pls press thanks button..)))

Then you gotta use flashtool,read flash tool guide on the link down
[FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies - G-FACE GUIDE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
Then use the link down to download 0.42 ftf file and flash with flashtool,backup everything like contacts,apps,sms etc... before flashing as you will loose everything in the phone and after the flash it will be like brand new from the factory.

If pc companion is telling him that he have latest fw, will seus tell something different? I think those 2 are using same database

I agree, it's the same situation in Croatia, the updates come a bit later so you will have to flash it manually. I tried both and got no updates for .62 i think.
Actually...the newbies(i wont use noobies...it sounds kinda offensive) are a bit scared to tinker upon their new phones...they do search...but rely upon the seniors for assurance...but it is a boring task to answer again and again same type of queries.

I had the same problem with my MT15i but one day crossed my fingers and used Wotan. If you are afraid about command lines and other stuff like I was before I suggest you try wotan, it's very intuitive and simple.

Hello,
I got 2.0.A.0.504 BUILD NUBER, how can I get to 2.0.2.A.0.24 ?
please help, many thanks
Hi Early81.
Your phone's region firmware is probably Italian.
So there are no updates from SonyEricsson Italia for their users.
You can update changing your region with this.
It's the last rom posted in this thread from Jerpelea.
Then you can obtain your root permissions with this.
Bye.
I bought the phone from eaby uk, I thinf is an orange phone..
I downloaded the rom, but when I launch x10 flash it gives me:
secm usb flash not founded
I connected xperia in flash mode with the back button and gave me green led button, I even installed pc companion, where can i get this driver for updating the phone?
sorry for my engish, thanks
U'd better use auto updste from se. Otherwise root ur phone by using z4root from market, install xrecovery and install .024 downloaded from this forum

Agree.
Try Sony Ericsson Update Service.
I did it today and i found the update you required.
Then use this to root new firmware's version.
I installed SEUS , it tells me I already have the newest firmware version... ok but at least now I have flash usb driver ok.. so I go to x10i flash in the rom folder , and it gives me:
INFO: start
and after 2-3 mintes exception in thread java.lang etc...
waht am i doing wrong?
thanks
Have a look in the X10 Flash Forum.... why doing an extra Thread? Read the 1. Post, everything is there....
Just change you build.prop file to NCB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
And then use SEUS to update to the latest version.
thanks to all , I did it by x10 flah tool , after trying on 4 different computers cause of the drivers problem.. thank you all, if this post is not useful it can be deleted, sorry for creating another one

had a problem but sorted it my self thanks
Hello everyone, i own a MT11i Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V.
Yesterday i received a notification to update from 4.0.A.0.42 to 4.0.A.0.46. I downloaded the update and i started the 4-step installation process. The 3 first steps proceeded fine but at the 4th step, the update stopped and the phone restarted.
I should mention that i had rooted my phone with UnlockRoot utility. After the unsuccessful update, i removed root with UnlockRoot again but the exact same thing happened.
If you need any more info please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Wrong Section,
did you try to install it using Sony Pc Companion ?
if so try Update using SEUS utility ..

Oh, I am sorry i guess this should go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1277
Ill keep that in mind next time. Anyway, this actually worked my friend thank you so much! Can you think of an explanation for the issue? In any case your help is much appreciated.
you're welcome
I don't know, what's wrong with PC Companion, so many peoples are complaining the same issue about update, and its already forward to Sony complain centre, maybe they'll look at it in the next release,

Hi guys, As you all know ICS is being released, Apparently my SI no. hasn't got the update yet, I really am losing my patience and want to manually update to ICS using the French ST25i firmware.
Now, coming to my question. I want to manually Update my XU ST25i GB to ICS. I want to know how it is to be done, IN A NOOB FRIENDLY WAY .
A step by step method would really help guys. I'm aware that if I update this way, It technically isn't ROOTING. ( Right?? ) (I havent unlocked my Bootloader and I prefer to keep it that way coz of future updates from Sony) . And one more thing, If I do this, Will I be able to still get official updates from Sony? ( i.e From SUS or PCC ).
Please help a fellow member! :highfive:

Its not rooting. It is just flashing a new official ROM. Here is the more stable ST25a Australian ROM with full instructions

hi guys n girl
has anybody maybee a generic german gingerbread firmware for the mini pro (sk17i) . im searching here and on the www but i dont found any german ftfs...

You can always click repair in seus and abort repair after seus downloads the firmware and you can create a ftf from the downloaded firmware files.
Hit thanks if I helped you

I'm from Germany, too and you can use any ftf for your device and it'll work great. Just use maybe the generic world...
Otherwise do it with seus and build the downloaded files to an ftf like gouthamthemostwanted said

No, it will download current firmware if you hit repair and not update.
What about wine? Can't you try to run seus/sus with wine?

Maybe mihahn can help. PM mihahn. He is from Germany so he can get you German firmware through seus. Moreover you don't always get the latest firmware from seus, if you have gingerbread in your device and hit repair in seus, it will ONLY DOWNLOAD THE GINGERBREAD FIRMWARE.

Okay you are right if you are on ics this is a problem. Maybe ask on android-hilfe.de if anybody could download the firmware for you, because I'm on jelly bean and so I can't upload it for you
Just tried with wine but it looks like the latest version isn't working with wine, so that's a problem. Maybe ask if somebody from android-hilfe.de could upload it for you
thanks for trying
damn - its anoying that no one of the manufactures build a linux compatible sync software... its terrible because android is a linux
Hello all,
First i would like to thank FeraLab for the great ICS V4 ROM work.
I am relatively new to flashing/etc but with some careful reading, i managed to install it on my X10i after unlocking the bootloader.
I've played with ICS v4 for some weeks and i did not find any major problems in any aspect / function of phone (data,wifi,camera,battery, apps, etc).
However, i've decided to go back to the Stock 2.3.3 ROM, and after looking quite enough (search) in the forum i could not find anyone who went back to 2.3.3 stock from ICS V4 with unlocked bootloader. I've looked in the whole ICS V4 thread for this and searching the entire forum.
I could not post a reply in the ICS thread since i have never made any post so far. (i always prefer not to ask anyone before i read enough)
But, in this case, if it is not too much to ask, could you kindly point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Eros
We can use PC Companion or SEUS to refert to stock, and.... no need to relock the bootloader.

Actually, that was the 1st thing i tried (companion) but for some reason it does not work. It does detect the phone but the
option "repair" phone does not even come up. It only detects it and then reports PC companion needs to be updated
and redirects to the SE website for downloading new SW (which still does not work).
Any ideas? I cannot tell if this issue is due to Unlocked Bootloader or the FeraKernel.
Thanks,
Eros

I just wanted to make sure of what i do next - avoid brick.
If FlashTool is the way to go, then i guess there is no choice.
