hey guys , i am in Syria , and i wanted to update to ICS via PC Companion , but every time they tell me there is no Internet Connection , how to make it working with some proxy programs like (Tor , Hotspotshiled....)
Thanks in advance ...
I think, you have only one choice! use Flash tool !
I'm have NEO V and i'm from egypt
and i'm already updatm my phone to ICS Official Yesterday
but you can't update via air ( Via phone )
you must connect to PC via sony PC Companion
and you will find updates
if you need the way to update just tell me

ICS was disappointing, very laggy and not smooth at all maybe you just wanna stick with ginger bread till the devs here optimize ICS ?! take care....

hello Sola Owners !!!
As discussed earlier in many posts about the updates for Xperia '12 series there is a latest update available already on Pc companion...
please check it out and upgrade accordingly !!!!
don't know the change logs cause i myself haven't upgraded (but a couple of my Friends have) due to some issues (dont know whats wrong guess unlocking bootloader issues but relocked it and repaired still cant upgrade it to .184 from .162)
here is the discussion on Sony forum itself :
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/46840
NOTE: Can please someone extract .tft file of Indian variant and upload it here cause people facing this upgrade issue will be able to flash including me !!!

If I were you, I would stay on gingerbread, cause it's more stable, etc.
If you want to update look here for the rom ftf and for flashtool here.
But flashing voids warranty, so better try to update via for example seus, for that look here. It's the official sony tool and maybe with this you can update.
May I ask where are you from, because it should be available via pc companion...
If you want rooted ics you will have to do it with this tutorial
first say u helped me a lot, . and im from bangladesh. i tried to update my phone using pc companion that i got in the free 2gb mmc, .and also tx for the advice, i got that many user have prblm in ics
Hello,if anyone can help me with the original xperia neo mt15a 4.0.2.A.42 or .62 gingerbread ftf or nandroid backup up,plz be so kind as to post a link so that i may get it,I have searched for months on the net with no luck
Donno bout MT15A but for MT15i..go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723
I never stopped using my SK17i, I've had at least 10 of them over the years, but recently I lost it and had to get a replacement.
I found a brand new one on ebay, but it has 4.0.2.A.0.58 FW.
I used to have all the SK17i FW saved, so I could re-flash any replacements I got, but my HDD crashed and I lost them all.
Does anyone have the last .587 FW... the 'generic world' version... not the vodafone or india one?

As I said in other thread, I'm not sure which one you exactly are looking for (some are customized for MEA and for India, first two links are most likely generic .587 FW). Please note that I have not tested any of those as I don't have Mini Pro. I just googled the links. Best of luck and let us know if it worked.
Thank you mate, I'm in UK so was looking for the "generic world" one, I got the first 2 you posted on download, thanks.
Hello,
I got a totaly stock phone, I read trough some topic, but don't know how to flash this generic firmware.
Android ver:2.3.3 Build:4.0.A.2.235
But I can not do nothing (log in google etc) this android version is so old, I would like to try first the last factory firmware, I guess this is it. How could I Flash to the phone?
Thanks in advance!
ts easy peasy to do, but you need the correct adb/fastboot drivers and flashtool versions, and that parts a nightmare.
I normally have to do this every couple of years if/when I lose or drop/break my phone and can never remember how I previously did it so I ended up making some notes and storing the correct stuff.
All of the drivers you need are bundled with flashtool 0.6.9.1
Here is the driver bundle from flashtool 0.6.9.1
But I would recommend using flashtool 0.9.18.6 to flash your rom because it has an option to exclude the 'simlock.ta' (previous version doesnt) and this will/could simlock your phone.
You need to connect your phone to PC and go in to the settings in your phone and change USB connection modes. Each time u do that, new drivers will be installed. Then power off ur phone and hold the 'down' volume button on the side and insert your USB lead a couple of seconds later.... then more drivers will be installed.
Then flash your rom with flashtool, and remember to 'exclude' the 'simlock.ta' (it's a checkbox option)
Edit: Btw, if u wanna root ur phone I use eroot_v1.3.4, works like a charm. Its in chinese but just click the big green button and it will root ur phone and install superuser.
Thanks, I was only able to try it out now and it worked. I can not install the flashtool verzion 0.9.18, win10 didn't allow it because it's contain a virus (win said) but i found somewhere 0.9.10.1.
Now have android 4.0.4. Play and browser not working, but for playing music and video its ok.
Maybe If have more time i will try some custom rom.
Which rom aru you using @SK17Me ?

I use 4.1.B.0.587. If you install total commander (or anything similar explorer) using flashtool, then you can download apps from anywhere, put them on your SD card and install them with total commander... no need for google play.
Browser is hit and miss... some pages load, but most dont.
I have all the cyanogenmod firmwares for SK17i (CM 10 - CM 13) which bring later android versions, though I've never tried them. I can upload them if u wanna try any.
