the different between Neo-V and Neo is the camera. Go for Neo for the better 8.1MP camera.

Neo-V downgraded to 5MP because of the deadly Japan earthquake took lives and brought the local electronics industry to a halt. Sony was affected too and, with a shortage of 8 megapixel camera sensors looming, someone had to take the hit. That someone was the Xperia neo. This is the story told by a company insider, who we have no reason to doubt.

V means 5, or value?

ur own likings.

Added on January 7, 2012, 12:49 pmbro, u think i revert back using pc companion ok or not ar? coz xda forum the member say due to the kernel is still stock-based, just that it is being rooted only. There will be no problem using pc companion to revert.

i read the 'safe method to revert' u gave me, but that's for neo and he is using stock kernel to flash it back. pro dun have stock kernel uploaded by members yet..so not safe liaw..what say u?

If you haven NOT unlocked the bootloader then you can use pc companion.

If you have unlocked the bootloader, pc companion will not work. It'll say you phone has been modified.
1. you can flash to original Pro rom using wotanserver
2. you download pro firmware (if you can find and download it) and flash using Flash utility
3. Relock the bootloader, and use PC companion.

I did use this to update my NEO because i've unlocked bootloader and pc companion rejected my update.

So far no problem. I think you should too.

honestly, i never tried using flashtool to flash my unit before. but i think it is just the same thing like using commandprompt as flashtool is just a written script program to make things look more simple, am i right?

Also heard that story when researching about these two models... Was REALLY wanting that Neo, but I've heard that the Neo V was faster... that, plus the fact that the Neo V was receiving Ice Cream Sandwich earlier than Neo, made the decision so damn difficult...

eh? i read through wotanserver but ar..how to do the flashing ar? is it dl the flashusbdriver.exe and wotanserver client.exe? they will revert my firmware ar?

you download the driver and use the client to flash.

it will flash ur firmware to stock.

Ok I found the "problem".... It's the "Tasks" which do not show up in the phone calendar, but "Events" sync perfectly well.

guess what, im trying to use the classic method now. pc companion > phone software update > repair ...hope it will jump back to stock.

i tried flashing directly from the stock-based kernel A (without shortcut) to stock-based kernel B (with shortcut) but the installation failed. duno why. maybe is because the unit should be without root...so i try flash it back to stock and try reflash it again with kernel B. *fingercrossed*

i really wanna do the scriptings for v6 supercharger and widget merge..

ps: the driver in wotanserver error loading page..so game over.

try neo driver. i think it is generic driver.

i'll notify u if i found rom for pro

Trust me, you don't really need a faster phone that drain your battery faster, because you won't be utilize the extra mhz. Besides, Neo and Neo V had the same 1ghz Snapdragon processor so they should be the same. SE is somewhat optimize their firmware that it run things smooth even with single core.

As for the ICS issue, don't worry as sooner or later you'll get them, as SE promised. Not like without that your phone cannot run.

Ah, I see... guess it would be with the Neo then... it looks like one helluva sleek phone... I LIKEY!

fucuk. using pc companion to 'repair' the firmware CANNOT be done. the software found out the unit was modified and refuse to revert it any further.

im now downloading the original firmware from dunno where. hahaha. never use flashtool before but seems like there is no chance. and the original kernel img is damn huge...270mb what..fucuk...

nevermind ... no pain no gain :-P

if u relock bootloader, pc companion might not work also because it can check modifiied system in ur phone after u rooted it. however it might work too eventhough phone is rooted.

better to flash offline. u can re-use it anytime.

deng...to enter recovery mode, it should be pressing "volume down" button instead of 'power' button. fucuk the TS... ("=_=)

bro, after some readings today. we can either install this or install this only. cannot both at the same time wor..u install both ar? no error in battery stats ar?

bro, to install recovery system. follow my guide from previous rooting guide, just do step 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 11.

i edited again the guide. LOL

i dont know why my xperia neo will randomly freeze when transferring/deleting files or doing other activities. then the screen will auto turn off(black) and i wont able to turn it on back no matter which button i pressed. but i can see the light under the button will still on when i pressed on it. i even tried to call the hp with another phone, but screen still black while ringtone is working. happened many times already & i hv to take out the battery and put it back to restart. anyone ever encountered same issue? already happen on the first week using the phone. definitely wont get this crap phone if i knew it comes with such problem
