But if you endeavor that, make certain that you may brick your phone; this lecture is for Xperia Arc only. So this is how to root your xperia neo.Basically is by means of back the similar mode like Xperia ARC, just you change the firmware to M15 instead of L15.
For rooting.

Starting after the OTA update seems to go forever. After a long time, (I cannot believe) that is not brick. Just call the battery and reinsert. This time, the reset will be done in a striking way. Now you will have a root 2.3.3.

I started this, but after "which is a USB device” gave an error and told me to turn on the phone. But the phone will not turn on! Pulse power and not the small vibration, but nothing happens. All screens stay black. After doing some research I ordered extraordinary microUSB cable protected to be able to absolute the upgrade by means of SEUS without trailing the connection. About the flash, no luck. Always the same error asking trusted applications and debugging usb. Anybody who can explain me about this error. I will appreciate your efforts towards solving my doubt.

I tried times and times (about 20 or 35) and, finally, flashing accomplished with no errors.
Honestly, it took many times as sometimes the computer does not recognize the phone, and I had to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

After that, he used a USB micro cable to do all the procedure as explained in the first issue and it was a success. Still have 3 or 4 errors, but I started again until it completes without error.

Now I am persuaded (after a number of experience in this Neo) that computers or dissimilar versions of Windows might have an influence on my laptop unless I have many errors on the desktop. Both with Windows 7. And in the last week, in XP my friend did flash at first, no errors at all.

I have to disagree. i cannot use the root of my neo ginger break if unlocking the bootloader. if you use a different approach SuperOneClick, will give an error something like this: you cannot mount the system

So what I did:

1. unlock the bootloader.
2. Ginger break run is less than 3 minutes rooting compared to bootloader locked, always keeping
3. Close back the bootloader.
4. Update.
5. Now root 2.3.3 android is enabled.

If you have already unlocked the boot loader, why not just use Doom Lord core and flash the latest firmware? Anyway deleted the DRM files. So no point really gets to close unless of course.

[Kickapoo]

Bootloader made in unlocking the first time for the reason that they want custom Flash ROM fastboot before knowing their roots can upgrade 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 devoid of losing access to root. Anyhow I do not think about about DRM because my digital content is not everything "right".

Just follow the instructions and rooted the 2.3.2.

Sony Ericsson new software is obtainable for your phone. Software updates for the most recent features and fixes and remain the phone in the most excellent probable circumstances. Make use of a computer to update your phone. More information Sony Ericsson website.

The phone dies; I have to use the l recovery system to update the old and new. Both versions do this.

I updated my 2.3.3 Neo with PC companion for 4.0.A.2.368.Will I still be able to wake my phone without opening the boot loader with the higher method?

I tried today to roots. Returned to version 2.3.2, root device with ginger break and rooting was flourishing.

Then I tried to update via OTA, but no luck, but I restarted the device and wait for it suggests on the first page, but nothing. Using Sues I upgraded to version 4.0 SE software, but the root does not work anymore. I’m afraid to wait to resolve this somehow.
