Read that thread I linked in first post, there are few posts in it where I explained how pcc/seus recognize what firmware, or should I say, for what region your firmware is.

And difference between cdf and si number.

If you still don't understand, ask.

Yes, I understand why you(or anyone else) think like that. :)

I actually enjoy helping someone, and happy to see someone fix his phone and continuing enjoying in his phone.

I can guide someone as long as it take, as long as I see that person is trying to understand and not just asking and demanding answers.

That last, asking and demanding is what I hate, and maybe some time I act rude and not polite.

I know modding and reading takes time, and that people have real life, but, so does helpers. If one appreciates his time, he shoud appreciate someone else's time. Right? ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
Btw, I had flashed 4.0.A.... firmware, rooted my phone and then flashed the 4.1.B..... firmware. So has my no changed?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
What do you think? :)

Based on what I wrote just 2posts above, and what you read on thread I linked to..

If you didn't store original cdf, we can't know.

We might know by your SI number, bur thats a loong shot, as I have only few of them written.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
I haven't stored it. :(

Damn. I'm so confused :confused:

Btw, using the SEUS, I can reinstall my ICS software. (4.0.4)

@madfysh

after regaining my phone from the warranty I wanted to reflash it once again, but there is a problem...

When I am trying to run flashtool application in flashmode I have something like that:

As you can see after running the option I can't see anything on the right side. I have installed all available drivers, like flashtool drivers, usb drivers, etc

Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
This is a bit off topic here, but download ftf's from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24113310&postcount=64 (links in second part of the post)

and use latest flashtool
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
If I unlock my Neo V using the SE Unlock Tool, I loose all the DRM files. But if I relock with the same, do I get my DRM files back?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
There is no way to restore DRM certificates.

At least it's not discovered till now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
I downloaded, but the kernel ftf files do not work for me, so need to download whole 3xx ftf files.

@topic

Crap it does not work for me at all... I had a 587 version (4.0.4 android - after updating it from 2.3.4 android) and reflashed it into 562 (android 4.0.3) the flashtool did a great job - didn't even show up any kind of error. I clicked on the box "no final verification" .But when I am turning phone up he is restarting all the time after "XPERIA" screen. Any ideas?

Can I upgrade the system for xperia neo 4.1.B.0.587 without losing root?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Man I have no idea what are you doing..:confused:

Do you have latest flashtool? Is your pc OS in english?

Upgrade from what? Using OTA update preserve root.

But I suggest you do clean flash, ether by flashtool or by repair software option in pcc or with seus.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dexyz:
I am trying to use your tutorial... And it's happening to me all the time.

Yes, I do 9.6.0 and no, my pc OS is not english language, but I have read on sites in my language that your tutorial worked for them.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] thiBRA:
well, the information on my smart (Xperia Neo) is saying that I already have this system upgrade 4.1.B.0.587. But I received a notification asking to update again.

In ralação your answer .. clean flash? pcc? SEUs? I did not understand.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
Damn. that means even if I relock my bootloader, I can't get the official updates from sony?:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I didn't say that. DRM certificate and official updates are not related.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] thiBRA:
I am using the following kernel

Version of Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf

BuildUser@BuildHost # 1
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
So if I relock my bootloader, PC Companion would update my phone as before? If yes, whats wrong if those DRM files get deleted?

Also, could you please link me threads explaining things related to these?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kavasilaios:
so from official 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.431) i flashed the kernel from 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562) but when i tried to root the phone as per doomlord's instructions in everything that it tries to copy it says "failed to copy. read only rights".

What should i do?

Edit: I checked the kernel version after flashing the 4.0.3(4.1.A.0.562) kernel and ti says

2.6.32.9-perf

BuildUser@BuildHost # 1.that means it hasn't flashed correctly the kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Both kernels have same version number so it doesn't mean that it isn't flashed correctly.

Have you enabled usb debugging and allowed unknown sources, before trying to root?

Did the kernel flash process went ok?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
Someone who could help me with this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I thought you understood from my last reply to you. Yes, after you relock BL, you will be able to update your phone with PCC/SEUS

DRM certificates are used (for example) in track ID, though that problem is solved with new track ID which can be found on market.

Also liking songs or sharing them on facebook via track ID won't work, but again that can be solved with some apps.

Lack of DRM certificates can be seen in service center. Will they check it, I doubt, but it can be seen.

On your other questions about DRM, google for DRM.

Hi guys,

I have interesting problem with my neo v! With stock rom 2.3.7 phone worked stable but when I upgrade it on 4.1 it kept restarting for no obvious reason.Same thing happens with CM,CM 7.2 version works fine but with CM 9 and CM 10 phone is restarting,sometimes during the call and what is more stranger sometimes while I am not using the phone at all.

Anyone with bright idea??

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] noowb00:
Hmm. According to the SI numbers, I should be able to update using PCC but it says that I already have the latest version. So, I think, the SI is for 4.0.3 coz the site itself doesn't state which ICS version. Right? I'm going with the ftf provided.

or check flashtool :

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Before I uploaded zip and wrote here instructions I tried it on my phone, so not sure where could be the problem. Will try one more time, when my battery gets charged up.

You are fake. lol

What is not working? ftf or zip?

ftf is working for sure, as I flashed it 4,5 times this morning, and few more times yesterday.

Really? What makes you think that? Same build number? Hm, wasn't the same story with Hong Kong leak of 562? And the end it had same number, right?

That's for Xperia S.

Awww, that's the spirit ;)

btw. when you wash your mouth with soap, wash your eyes and check screen shoot in first post ;)

@All of you who don't like this, or don't think it's final or you think is fake. Don't use it. Simple as that, right?

Why the hell would I spend my time and mess around with builds editing and whatnot just to show something? Are you serious? This is Sony 4.0.4 ICS 4.1.B.0.431, final or not final, it's what it is. Use it as it is, or don't use it.

I don't know why it's not available on PCC and SEUS yet. Just wait.

If you cant wait, use this ftf, if you don't like that ether, you know where are dors ;)

Linux script is incomplete

the script is incomplete. it does not "clean up" after rooting and kinda messed up my phone. it was ultra slow after reboot and i just wiped the data partition (after full TA backup). just after that i had the great idea to look into the original batch file from doomlord and i found the problem...

these 3 lines should be added to the script (i can't post in dev threads yet, otherwise i would have posted it there):

adb shell rm /data/local.prop

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp

adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.old /data/local/tmp

Or even better, just change the link to this post in OP: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27760149&postcount=131

So, assuming that I have a kernel with CWM, the only thing I do is flashing the zip.

OK, but this zip contains no busybox... :/

Do I have to install it manually? I ask because I think it is a necessity. Which busybox version should I install?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
What zip are you talking about? That old zip which I made for people with locked bootloader, before there was new root toolkit?

Why you using that??

And btw busybox is free to install.. :) and possible to install after you have root, so no point in putting it there. People should do something to.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] engahmed91:
Thank u
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kibaruk:
Thank you, everything worked perfectly.

Just have 2 observations to make:

1.- When flashing 562 kernel and then checking the device info it still said I had 587 one, I found it odd but the root worked anyhow.

2.- You could compile all the information in a single thread giving the tanks to whoever you link this to? It would be way easier than having to navigate around the threads. The first time is always the hardest, after you do it once everything is way easier.

Thanks again everything worked very good!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] na4o007:
Hi, all. I have a question. I want to root my xperia Neo, ICS 4.1.B.0.431. I unlocked my BL. I missunderstood the description of the process and flashed the tft from the first post, it works normally, just that now it says I have a possible update to 587. I am from Bulgaria, and probably with my previous rom I did not have that update. Now if I understand correctly, I can NOT use OTA from sony, and simply update to .587? But that is a question to the side, the main one is different. So now that I have unlocked the BL and according to the first post I need to hotboot the kernel - recoveryNeo.img through flashtool in fastboot mode (menu+plug-in) and this would get me where - a recovery mode (that automatically is booted) from which I can install the superuser.zip that is also attached in the first post? Is that correct? Also what happens after the installation of the superuser-zip is complete? How do I boot normally? I watched some clips on youtube, but I think they are just messing with my mind :))

The plan is afterwards to install CM9 or maybe another custom rom. This may not be the right place, but after the root, I can install CWM and then install CM9 from the SD card, or no?

P.S.1 Do I need any fastboot or adb drivers or anything else. When I entered fastboot to unlock the BL, it foung successfully the drivers.

P.S.2 The other option is to install a rom with CWM, correct? Can someone plz give me a link to a stock kernel with CWM built-in?

P.S.3 And actually could anyone answer also the first question, can I update through PC companion with Unlocked BL?
