Search mate...read the stickies.
You dont have to relock the bootloader...just download flashtool...ftf file of stock .62 firmware...install adb drivers and flash the ftf you downloaded via flashtool...everything is available in the development section.

Just find .ftf and flash it with falshtool, both are even in dev sections.
I already told you in another thread, read sticky threads, get to know with tools and after that go ahead with messing with your phone.

Why should we have to send our phone off for downgrade
Or flash it ourself when there cant be ass to fix the bugs
Sony is lazy now .
Sony's not lazy, Sony simply distribute updates. It's quite obvious that they don't allow downgrades.
Anyway, flashing a stock firmware is actually what the SE Centre would do. There's no chance you can incur into bugs or else.

But I have a Samsung Galaxy tab p1000 which is running a custom ICS ROM and everything is even faster than stock GB ROM. I think the developers community can bring ICS to work flawlessly on our little phones too
no idea why you downgraded, ut after ics my LWW is amazing, much improved battery life, performance is amazing.....even camera is improved in my opinion..
the only reason you would do a downgrade is to go back to gb, root your fone and then flash it to ics 4.0.4 to keep root....

No I downgraded from ics to GB because my phone's battery life was worsened. Also when I played riptide GP, it would freeze each time and reboot which indicated a bad performance. But the main reason was bad battery life!
i'm on ics e days now, battery is same as gb, gps locks faster, and no problems at all

[Q] HELP:How to Root Xperia NEO V 4.0.4

Hi There,
I have a NewSE XPERIA NEO V - ANDROID 4.0.4 and I just need a easy step by step instruction to Root this Phone without unlocking Bootloader.
It´s just hoorrorbile for me to find the right tools + Instruction because I never ever do a Job like that on a Android System..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
Its not horrible to find it.. on the first page of general section, and if its not on first page, there is search button.
he easiest way is to get open your eyes and use the search button right up in the corner !! agree with madfysh, Geez !
and Madfysh my mate welcome by te RC`s
Hello,
I've searched for a direct root for Neo V (4.0.4) but it seems that it's not available for the moment.
Do you know if it will be available one day or if Sony has corrected the hack ?

You are asking if we know if someone will discover exploit one day? Are you aware that there is no answer to that question?
Sony corrected exploits from .62, but that didn't stop someone find new one(in 4.0.3)
I would just say this, don't expect someone will go and search for new exploit, since available root is pretty easy(2,3 minutes job), so no one will bother with search.
If someone will find it it will be accidentally

In fact, I was asking in the case someone was already working on it.
So if I understand well, the exploit that allows the root in 4.0.3 has been fixed in 4.0.4 ?
Because I imagine that is not necessary to find a new exploit for each update. That could take time to Sony to fix it and they probably prefer to put resources on other stuff.

I think TS means jellybean as the Official Global version of Sony Xperia Go JB, 6.2.A.0.400.
Hi TS! Have you already rooted your xgo? if not, Do you have cwm? or maybe your xgo has unlocked b?
TS has to go the long way around if a rooted phone is wanted right now. B1n4ry method doesn't work (I tried).
Stock and locked JB ST27i
