Please Help Neo V-Downgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich to Gingerbread Problem.

Hello guys,i am having a problem with my Xperia Neo V.

I installed the ICS update and i don't like it.

The new update needs a lot of ram and makes my phone run slower than before.

I decided to downgrade from ICS to Gingerbread so i found the NeoV.4.0.2.A.0.62 ftf file and i was ready to flash it via Flash Tool.

I did the usual stuff i turned USB debugging ON But unfortunately i couldn't downgrade.

The reason is that Flash Tool requires for me to Not be in MTP mode.

I have no Idea how to do that so please Help.

Tell me how can i disable MTP mode and Maybe be in USB Mass Storage mode.

Or maybe tell me another way of downgrading.

Thanks in advance.

sushantnkiri Yes it would show the update

Nopes, i haven't change anything . There are many jelly bean roms. You can install them from XDA

After flash, if i connect my phone to PC companion & update, then it will install ICS.

How will my phone get softwares of my region ?????

That JB rom you linked cannot be flashed via flashtool. In order to get that, you will have to flash stock ICS firmware, root it and then flash that JB rom using CWM.

And regarding links, everything seems to be working fine :smileyplain:, You're facing problem on 4shared or in my guide ?

And that GB rom is there in my guide now

I guess it would be hard to find a regional rom, but the roms in my guide are really good mate. go ahead Slightly_smiling_Face
