Yeah thats possible, its for neo v !!

To others why you say that neo is better, and why is it crash all the time if you try this if it is for neo v.

And no matter where you put this file...without any file explorer you cant install it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Put your sd in your phone, get connect with your pgone with the pc put the file in a new map with name what you want and put it there and enter cwm and flash the zipfile where you putting it in the map, just follow the steps And are you rooted ane have cwm?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deathtap:
Thanks for this, but is there a way to do this by unlocking the bootloader?

I have already tried unlocking the bootloader physically using the test point, but it didn't work - still says the BL is locked.

I have tried your way, and it works! But I want to install a custom ROM on my Xperia Neo, and every time I install a custom ROM using the CW-Install, it gets hung during boot up.

I should never have switched from HTC...

Which phone do you have main, this is for neo v, its so simple just follow the steps correctly and its done, not so hard to understand. Damn!

I have NEO and just NEo mt15i and im FIX it phone havent 0% of battery i use this GUIDE

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312398

and work fine for me EXACLY this part

1. Read the full post, especially the FAQ. In case of doubt, you can use this guide to know how to do things:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1133650

2. Unlock booloader

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1034087

3. Grab the most recent kernel patch from this thread. The file is boot.img.xxx.7z for your phone (ARC / NEO). We call this the kernel patch, or only the patch.

4. You must be same firmware and patch version, so if you aren't firmware xxx, use flashtools to flash the correct firmware. and wipe the data if downgrading firmware version. You can find some recent stock firmwares in the [Firmwares (.FTF)] section.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1304634

5. Use fastboot to flash boot.img contained in file boot.img.xxx.arc.7z (or boot.img.xxx.neo.7z for NEO users). Flash the .img file, not the .7z file .

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1116970

6. Now you have a phone showing allways 85% battery capacity

7. Install most recent FuelGaugeFixV??.apk from this thread (Bazoocaze version).

8. For the first time, make sure the charger is plugged, and select "Start full charge" from the apk fix menu (use the menu button to show options). A full charge takes 3h00 ~ 3h40.

9. Now you have a fully charged phone, and apk fix updates battery % acordingly to phone usage.

10. See "Kernel issues" and "APK issues".

11. Press the tanks button on this thread, and optionally feel free to buy me some gift/beer/pizza/coffe.

12. Finish

From end of post im download boot.img.4.0.2.A.0.42.neo.7z cos i have soft 0.42 instal it by fast boot and work for me :) then install charger monitor and for now phone is charging to full

what do you have, unlocked bl? and you must do it with OTA !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] andrekas:
I have locked bootloader.

I tryed to update with update center, isnt that ota?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] andrekas:
I also tried to clear dalvik cache, that didnt work. I have notification bar icons too. But i dont have the original systemui.apk to restore it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
No not with update center :s OTA is over the air so with wifi with update center on your phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ksrokiller:
Is there any other firmware that can be downloaded for country region than the generic firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] andrekas:
I updated with phone over wifi

How to perform a OTA update? i have flash the firmware to 42 and connect to wifi but when i click software update it says i have latest software.. pls advice thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Do you have read the 1st page?

when you flash back to 42 then you must

tick only wiping data & cache.

then restart your phone then do the steps on your phone,

then root your 42 firmware then turn your wifi on and then go to

SETTINGS

then go to

ABOUT PHONE (down under)

then go to

SOFTWARE UPDATE

then update your phone

p.s. have you unlocked bl?

this works only for locked bl
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] siddharthmenon:
I have the exact same problem.

I bought a new Neo V and OTA always said no updates.

Later I updated to .62 using PC companion.

Yesterday I followed your guide on 1st post and was able to downgrade to .42 + root it.

Since OTA was not working I updated using PC companion. No more root :/

How do I know if my BL is already unlocked? Or figure why OTA says no updates.

Edit

I figured out my BL is locked. So it has to be something else.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ksrokiller:
yes i have did all the above, and it is locked bl but i have manage to get it updated to 62 by connecting other wifi network, Thanks for your help:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
you must update only via OTA update over the air exactly with wifi network when you downgrade to 42 with what i said, so why works it well with my Neo V and for the 1st time i did it with 3g and thats works to, so i dont understand why it not works with yours:S and press the thanks;)

so try it again to downgrade with flashtool, root the 42 and try again to update with OTA !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sunsqare:
My Neo rooted with .42. Follow your post, using PC Companion to update to .62. Successfully updated, but the root has gone :( Any easy way to root this .62??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Why o why using pccompanion, ota is not pccompanion.

Update from handset is ota over the air, no cables no computers...............

Jeez this could not be any simpler.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I don't understand, do they even read, or read without understanding or what? :)

I mean, really, this couldn't be more noob proof tutorial, everything is written in first post, yet some of them still ask questions which are answered in first post:rolleyes:

Is it hard to google what is ota: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-air_programming
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Im getting tired of this, it stands clearly enough, you must do the OTA and NOT using Pc companion :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sunsqare:
Sorry guys for misunderstanding. wait for the update to popup then upgrade.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
no problem mate, its just happend, go to system, about phone, software update,

but 1st >> turn your wifi on ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] siddharthmenon:
Well I think there is a problem with OTA update. Note sure what.

Like I mentioned before even my stock phone said already updated and even after upgrading to 62 and downgrading to 42 following the 1st post procedure did not help.

I tried lots of combination, wifi only, automatic, reboots etc etc.

Could it be because of region? I am accessing from India.

Later I used another method using .zip and FlashTool to upgrade to 62 while retaining root access.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Maybe is that possible about your region, but i dont know for sure, i come from The Netherlands so everything works fine here and ok you installed a zip now but is the baseband 64? so not then is that not the rooted 62 you want;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] cobrazmija:
Thanx Pandemic...:D I just folow your steps and suceffuly get rooted .62:cool:

exetp I could't root via flash tool so manualy via Easy rooting toolkit 3...;)

For everyone, after flashing .42, i recomanded to root via Easy rooting toolkit, not via flashtool...

Imediately after rooting, go to OTA update, and everything will be just fine;)

DO NOT uninstall ANY program (blatware) or system app until you dont update it to .62

After udate to .62, install Titanium or wathever app and then do what you want with removing blatware, apps...:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
Pandemic, nice to see you here, i have just come from the x10 to the neo.

Allthough i already rooted I found your instructions to install cmw recovery very good, many thanks,

I just flashed the FTF .42 file using flashtool and then tried OTA ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Are you f** kidding me?? Go and google what is OTA! Where did he say that you need to use PC companion? Even on this page we wrote that you DON'T use PC companion!

Also, based on your signature, you have unlocked BL. If it's via official method from sony's page, DON'T do this!!

If it's by s1tool, then it might work.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Can you write that in first post? Looks like people don't know what is OTA:rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
press the back key or menu, did you installed recovery mate, no will do it then.;)

use that from DooMlord
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
yeah i will edit the OP, people a ****ing dunkeys sometimes, we all know what is OTA and the people still doing the dumbest things :S

Edit: if you ask one more time what is OTA ?

i dont answer anymore ;)

Problem finding stock 0.42 firmware for NEO in tutorial

I don't know if its just me or if everyone faced this. Sorry if this a n00b post

I have a xperia Neo (stock 0.62 firmware with locked bootloader) and I am trying to just root my phone while keeping the bootloader locked. I just want to remove the bloatware

Here's the problem. I went through the tutorial and installed flashtool as suggested. The second step is where I am stuck

This is for Neo:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1258723

The link given in the tutorial redirects to the Firmware thread where there are two links for the 0.42 firmware a China and the Global version.

The Global version has a megaupload link which doesn't work and the chinese version redirects to a chinese site where I can't seem to the download button even after using Google translate. So if any one could please provide me a link for the stock neo 0.42 firmware that I am supposed to flash using flashtool. I would be indebted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Have you tried asking google? I heard he knows stuff..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23540555&postcount=44
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sh@dow@lker:
So what you're saying is that it's ok to post a tutorial which has links that don't have what it's supposed to be talking about?

and how do you think i got to xda developers site and to this tutorial in the first place?

anyways thanks for your help.

Edit : finally found a working link for global 0.42 and rooted successfully
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] maRRRco89:

Uninstalling CWM

Hi there.. I am not sure if this has been answered before.. But I googled this and couldnt find a proper solution..

Is it possible to Uninstall CWM using PC companion (Repair)?

If not, then how can it be removed?

I have the ftf file of the original firmware with me..

Sorry for sounding so dumb but I am new here..

I have rooted my Xperia NEO V using the method mentioned on the first page.. Hats off for such a simple tutorial.. But Id really like to know if CWM can be uninstalled just in case I want to protect my warranty..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jonke11:
I will give you answer.

1. In warranty service, they just reflash phone. If something wrong after reflash, they do something more.

A. You can just flash fresh firmware if you avoid warranty.

B. If you know how to use flash tool you cant brick phone, unless you are pro bricker :-D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] javi3k:
thanks you it worked very well for me following step by step
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rayzstyle123:
hello

is it possible to unlock bootloader and install CWM first before updating to .62 OTA?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Unlock yes cwm no.

Root, update, cwm for trouble free
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iVolcaNoz:
Will this wipe all data?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
no;) you mean on you sd card right??

no then it wipe no data :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iVolcaNoz:
I know the sd data..

how about internel?

all apps,contacts are going to wipe?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
yes it wipe all the apps and contacts so make a back up from your contacts and the apps, but you can re download the apps from the market if you still have the data on your sd so its no problem ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iVolcaNoz:
there is any other ways to install cwm?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
No there is no other way, yes maybe unlock your bootloader that no difference, i think they must do the same as we with locked bootloader ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iVolcaNoz:
so can i update the firmware with OTA 1st then install cwm?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
yes, 1st downgrade to 42, then root and then do the OTA and then the CWM ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iVolcaNoz:
sry but i really dont know how to do OTA
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
and yes fine for you but why you vote no ??

if this guide works for you, if this dont work for NOOBS like you, dont take a look here ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
go to your phone then go to about phone , then software update ;)

its stand in the OP mate
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iVolcaNoz:
but it says updated
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
refresh it, press the menu button, and if it has updated then you already have 62 :S

have you root it?, mate give more info please, you are confusing me.

my advice, follow this guide and do it al over again ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iVolcaNoz:
yea i had followed your steps and rooted.. as i seen in the settings there ,the firmware version is .42.. but i can't update it.. it showed your phone is up to date
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Hmm thats weird, did you tried it with wifi!! Maybe you should try it again to doing the steps further i dont know, or try wipe dalvik and cache.

Sent from my fast & supercharged Neo V and a tiny keyboard xD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rayzstyle123:
Well i did all what Pandemic posted here step by step and it works. we wonder why ur phone says up to date? lol

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

Sigh... i wanted to unlock my bootloader too lol.. While im ROoted .62 firmware and CWM installed. :X
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] h_guys:
Hey thanks for the reply buddy.. So you mean to say that if I want to retain my warranty and if i want to uninstall CWM, I have to use flashtool and flash my phone with a stock ROM.. In that case, from where can I get my Stock Rom.. I know its an ftf file but Im unable to search for my specific model (NEO V).. Again thanks a ton for the reply..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Doing repair with PC companion phones gets to it's original state, unless you messed with build.prop file, but that's another story :)

So yes, CWM is also removed by doin't software repair with PC comp.

Yes, you can also flash it with flashtool. And about ftf file, you said(in your post above) you have it. Anw, search in development section.

Man, what are you talking about? Have you read what he asked? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AFMA:
Thanks, it worked in my Neo V.

I used to have .42 with root, but I accidentally updated to .62.

Used this tutorial to get back to .42, root and CWM with locked bootloader.

Anyway, can I use this method to do the same with Xperia Pro?

If yes, were can I get a flashable .42 firmware for the Pro, or will the normal Neo firmware work?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sly.cooper:
I have downgraded to .42 and rooted successfully. I then did OTA for .62 and the root is gone. Is this how it works? Do I need to stay on .42 to have root? I followed the OP and wanted to install CWM.

Sorry. Saved your trouble to explain "upgrade over OTA" 10001 times ;-)

I have installed CWM. How do I boot into recovery?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Do you have exactly did what the OP said, downgrade to 42 then root and then update with your phone to 62 not with pc companion, and the if you are on 62 rooted then install cwm ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sly.cooper:
Yes. I have updated the post :). How do I know if the CWM install is successful or not? I got below output for install-cwm1.cmd script. I tried shutdown, power + volume down but could not boot into recovery. Am I missing something?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
You do something wrong and that is power + volume down, you must only volume down pressing ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sly.cooper:
No. I have tried number of times. Do I need to keep "Power" and "Volume down" pressed till the recovery menu appears?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Tap volume down.....

Some versions tap screen....

Try both

What do we tell now, like mpiekp and i said ??? You dont need tbe power button !!! Press volume DOWN or tap on the screen ;)
