How to Root Sony Xperia Neo/Neo V ICS 4.0.4 4.1.B.0.431 Firmware
Today our tutorial How to Root Sony Xperia Neo/Neo V on Android 4.0.4 ICS 4.1.B.0.431 Firmware. Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo was launched by Sony a year ago. Xperia Neo was shipped with Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread and Sony promised that it will be updated to ICS. Both phones loaded with same specifications and features 1 GHz scorpion processor and Snapdragon chipset can handle ICS very well. Sony released the Android 4.0.3 ICS few months ago but users reported lots of bugs. Few weeks ago Sony has rolled out the new Android 4.0.4 ICS update for both Neo MT15 and Neo V MT11 devices with 4.1.B.0.431 Firmware version that fixed most of the issues. But it will revoked the root access on all rooted devices. If you want to get root access again on latest Android ICS update 4.0.4 then you can follow this guide.
If you are on Android 4.0.3 then you can update to 4.0.4 and root your device easily using the rooted kernel. The tutorial is very simple, you just need to flash rooted kernel and install Superuser SU app later you can install custom clockworkmod recovery to flash new firmware.
Warning: We are not responsible if the device is bricked or damaged. Do it as your own risk.
Pre-requisite:
1. Required Original International Sony Xperia Neo and Neo V Device ICS running 4.1.B.0.431 Firmware with locked bootloader only. It doesn't works on unlocked bootloaders.
2. There are few data you need to backup such as Music, Videos, Images, Contacts, Call Logs, SMS, APN and MMS Settings should be backed up before starting the update process.
3. The minimum battery requirement for the completion of the process is 70%.
4. It is necessary to disable the Security suites on your Sony Xperia, for this you can follow the path Settings > Security > Mark “Unknown sources” and check it.
5. Again, under settings, ensure that USB Debugging option has been enabled by navigating to the ‘Settings > Development Options> Development > USB debugging’.
Note: For 4.1.B.0.431 Firmware there is no rooting procedure but we can root in different way by changing the kernel version to old one. Because old kernel ICS 4.0.3 4.1.A.0.562 can be rooted with flash tool.
Here goes flashing old kernel to Sony Xperia Neo/Neo V
1. Download MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf from here to your PC.
2. And download one more tool i.e. flashtool-0.9.0.0-windows.exe for Sony Xperia Devices from here into the PC.
3. Install the Flashtool software in the PC. After installing it, go to C: Drive and open the flashtool folder. There you will get drivers folder open the folder and run the flashtool-drivers.exe. Select the Neo device and click on install button. It will going to install compatible ADB drivers for your specific Neo/ Neo V mobile.
4. Well its’ time to copy the downloaded kernel file MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf into C:/flashtool/firmwares folder.
5. Now run the flashtool.exe application. A medium size window will be displayed on the screen.
6. Click on thunder icon on top left side, there you will see a small dialog window with two different options flashmode and fastboot mode. Select flashmode and click ok for further step.
7. Select the MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel.ftf on left side and also tick mark the No Final Verification at right side. Click on OK button to proceed for next step.
8. A window will be opened and you need to enter fastboot mode. It indicates unplug the device from the PC, Power off the device, Press the back button and hold it, again plug the USB cable to the PC.
9. It will take 2 or 3 minutes to complete the flashing process. Device will take some time to load and it will stay at Sony logo for long period. So don’t worry be patience the device will loaded without any problems.
That’s it you have successfully installed pervious kernel on your device. It’s time to root the device with easy guide.

I have searched for a long time on how to upgrade my "Sony Ericsson XPERIA acro so-02c DOCOMO" with a 4.0 android since the japanese company is not going to push it. The only solution i found to work is this one taken from a Vietnamese forum, hance the poor google translation but you'll get it:

Overall this is a very worthwhile upgrade, Ram released quite a lot, carefree setting.
I tryed the same thing with a new version of flashtool, but it didnt work got stuck at XPERIA, the 0.7.0 version stated in the manual is working just fine. The only problem i have now is that i can not root it using the doomlords toolkit. Before i did this upgrade i could root it using doomlord but it had the original docomo ics .9 as instructed on the doomlords thread.
As I am a tottal noob in this I really dont know how to resolve this rooting issue since i flashed my phone with a combination of two rom's, if someone has a workaround please help I'd be more than gratefull.
Just tried this. How long does one have to wait?

Please follow this tutorial, it will lead you to flash firmware using Flashtool
How to install the newest Android 4.1.2 for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
a) First of all, you need to install driver into your PC (You can use PC Companion to do it)
b) Download and install latest Flashtool from HERE.
c) Download also Android 4.1.2 firmware (you can find it HERE or HERE) for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
d) Paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
e) Open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
f) Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
g) After few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
GOOD LUCK
TWRP should allow you to mount your device as USB device and install a zip file that contains a rom.
