Do you have any link to flash back stock rom? Or google will do?

yep and yep .

download flashtool from here .
download the latest ftf file from here .

install flashtool .
move the ftf file to folder /flashtool/firmware .

turn off your device .
open flashtool .
click on flash .
select flashmode mode .
wait .
connect your phone in flash mode (hold volume down button) .
reboot .
done !

I heard that ICS 4.0.3 is better for neo v than 4.0.4 as many user updated 4.0.4 got many problem. Where to find update for ics 4.0.3? Is sony released them? Or i hv to use flashing? Tq
*
it's better to use the latest software because it's contains of bugs fixed .
but it may also consists of new bugs .
different user , different opinions .
it's better for you to try yourself .

you must flash it using flashtool since sony only release their latest firmware through sony update service and pc companion.
download the latest flashtool and install it on your computer .
flash the ftf file using the flashmode .

get the ics 4.0.3 for neo v (hong kong) from here (pre-rooted) .
or
here for greek .

first off thanks for the tips! unrooted my device already thanks to you all hehe

would like to input as i was following these steps on the first page
Rooting xperia pro android 4.04
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


the sixth step didnt work for me, changed the kernel to MK16_4.1.B.0.587 and it worked. Though in my case I had already updated my phone to the latest version before i rooted.

heres the link to the kernel:

Owh ok...but my xperia neo v easily get heat at the back...is it normal???
*
If your phone get hot while using than it's normal .
But when your phone still get hot while in standby .
That's not normal .
It's better to repair your phone with sony update service if the problem still occur .
Sony update service usually will fix it .

Sony update service . The software update? They can fix it? What about battery life? My bro's neo standby for 3hours then reduced 50%.
*
Really ?
3 hours 50% ?

Check on battery usage which apps that consume soo much battery .
Usually it's a firmware bug .
Repair it with sus will fix it .
Most of the cases .

Or you just can reflash the rom with the flashtool .

hahaha now Im so good already.
Any problem.
Use flashtool flash back the ftf file.
Can root my phone in 5minutes biggrin.gif
hehe.
I think i prefer Xperia Ultimate HD bahh ~
Just now tried JellySandwich, stucked at Sony Logo, i think i skiped the "skip permission" step
Then search for reviews, I think Xperia Ultimate HD suits me, the OTA update included PowerAmp which i need it!
*
glad you solved it .
biggrin.gif
flashtool is very helpful tool for xperia devices .
must have it .
laugh.gif

yeah , I know JS will cause freeze in the logo if you don't install properly .
this only occured from JS 8.0 and above .
that's why I still stick with JS 7.4 .
never success in upgrading .
laugh.gif

mind to post screenshot of ultimate HD ?

I still dont understand how it install? Place the files in the phone only?
Thats all? What pdf text files those. Kinda blur
rclxub.gif
*
put those file on sdcard .
delete that pdf extension .
and rename it to blablabla.sh only .
run it with smanager.. .
make sure to run it as root .

also make sure proper busybox has been installed .
if not , flash this busybox with cwm .

run it for first time .
then you will know what next to be installed .
don't forget to make nandroid backup in case of bootloop .
