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:
Guide update sony ericson Arco from-02c to Ics 4.0 world Lt18i.
So-02C currently no official version of ICS 4.0. But I can guide you to update the So-02c on the ICS 4.0.3 version arc s Lt18i.
Please note, read the directions carefully before making, I tried on two machines. I do not take responsibility for these incidents occur during up room.

+ Install Pc Companion
+ Unzip Flashtoot 0.7.0.0, run the file to install FlashTool- 0.6.9.1-Windows.exe. Unzip the update.zip file, overwriting the entire new data extract the folder install of flashtool, usually in the path C: \ Flashtool
+ Copy 2 LT18_4.1.A.0.562_NCB.ftf files vàSO -02C_4.0.1.C.1.9_docomo.ftf on the folder C: \ Flashtool \ firmwares
+ In C: \ Flashtool run file flashtool.exe (win 32) or flashtool64.exe (win 64).
Flashtool will confirm the version has been updated to ver 0.7.0.0
Click Flash (lightning bolt icon), select Flashmode
Select LT18i 4.1.A.0.562 GenericNCB. Built choose three items: wipe user data, wipe cache, no final verification check as shown. Press ok.

you turn off the power over-02c go, wait about 10 seconds. Hold the back button. Then start cable plug. Flash will start the process, you do not hold back anymore, flashtool run until the message appears as shown below
Disconnect the cable from the so-02c, but not turn on the light.
continue to select Flash as a first, and then select SO-02C 4.0.1.C.1.9 DOCOMO. Built select 2 items Exclude system, Exclude Kenel as shown below
Click ok, and then continue to do the above steps until Flash is finished.
Unplug the cable out, turn on, thrill to phone waiting for, for a long time, do not panic. And this is the result ^ ^
So-02c ran Ics 4.0 of the Lt18i
Note: Some features will not be used but no problem
+ Infrared
+ SEG (Japanese TV)
+ Felica (in Japan nodules)
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?

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.
Steps and Instructions to Root Sony Xperia NEO V on Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0.4 Firmware:
1. Download the DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip file from here into your PC.
2. Extract the zip file with the help of winrar or winzip. Once extracted you will get runme.bat file in the folder.
3. Double click and run the runme.bat file, a command prompt window will be opened.

Your best bet would be to flash the stock firmware onto your device using flashtool.
1) Download flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.io/
2) Download Miro firmware 11.0.A.5.5 from here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetR1ZuSWlUcTNNQVk/edit?pli=1
3) Install flashtool to your computer, keep the install location default to keep things simple.
4) Move the firmware to the flashtool directory. Default path is C:\Flashtool\firmwares
5) Install the device drivers provided with flashtool. Default path is C:\Flashtool\drivers. Install every driver firmware possible.
6) Open flashtool and click the lightning bolt. Select flash mode.
7) In the new window select your Miro firmware what you moved to the firmwares folder. Do NOT change any of the tick boxes as doing so can cause complications. Press okay.
8) Let flashtool prepare the file for flashing. Once it has it will ask you to connect your device in flash mode. To do so plug the large USB end into your computer, remove your phones battery and leave the back off. Connect the small end of the USB cable to your phone and hold the volume DOWN (-) button. Insert the battery. This puts your phone into flash mode.
9) Let flashtool work its magic. It takes about 2-5 minutes to make your phone work again.
10) Enjoy your working phone.

3) Install flashtool to your computer, keep the install location default to keep things simple.
4) Move the firmware to the flashtool directory. Default path is C:\Flashtool\firmwares
5) Install the device drivers provided with flashtool. Default path is C:\Flashtool\drivers. Install every driver firmware possible.
6) Open flashtool and click the lightning bolt. Select flash mode.
7) In the new window select your Miro firmware what you moved to the firmwares folder. Do NOT change any of the tick boxes as doing so can cause complications. Press okay.

To do so plug the large USB end into your computer, remove your phones battery and leave the back off. Connect the small end of the USB cable to your phone and hold the volume DOWN (-) button. Insert the battery. This puts your phone into flash mode.
9) Let flashtool work its magic. It takes about 2-5 minutes to make your phone work again.
10) Enjoy your working phone.

If have CWM installed you can run advanced - fix permissions if your phone's permissions are wrong.
Anyway with your current problem try:
> don't enter flashmode until flashtool asks to to do so.
> redownload stock firmware
> run flashtool as administrator/root
thank u man

For Flashing Stock ROM fastboot drivers are not required, only flashmode drivers are required which Windows manages to get them easily. I wanted fastboot drivers for my phone which were in Flashtool -> Drivers folder. But the installing always used to fail. After lot of google searches I found out as the drivers were not digitally signed Windows used to block it's install process. If you are having same problem just Google 'How to disable driver signature enforcement in Windows'. It helped for me

If you have updated your device to 16.0.B.2.16 then the ROM will not work, it needs 16.0.B.2.13
So as to Install 16.0.B.2.13 follow this guide
*Download wmshua
*Download ftf file of 16.0.B.2.13
*Install Sony PC Companion
*Switch Off your mobile phone and get the Original USB Cable pf your device
*Open Wmshua and then Connect your device to PC pressing the Volume Down Key
*As Soon as connected Wmshua will install device drivers (taking about a minute), then go to "Flash" option and select the ftf file from there. And click on Start. It will take about 10 minutes or maybe more to flash the file. Wait Till It Completes.
*Now your device is ready on 16.0.B.2.13
*(If you are having problem with the language of wmshua the go to C:\Program Files(X86)\完美刷机 then rename the folder "language" to "language_x" language will become English)
