How can I revert back my Neo to Stock Kernel and Stock Rom? Pls help

[nikhil1]

Greetings all, I have an Xperia Neo which was running Android 2.3.4 which was running moderately slow. Hence I installed CM9 custom rom.

To do so, I flashed boot.img file using fastboot command using command prompt on my phone and then booted my phone in CWM. Took back up of my current Rom and then installed CM9 rom and recommended apps zips. I tried this rom for 2-3 days and had awesome experience. But it lacks in camera quality, xloud, gesture input etc so I thought to have another custom Rom.

My friend recommended me Xperia Pureness by thilinaC. To have this rom on my phone, firstly I flashed Night-Elf's kernel named Alliance Lite v1.4 using fastboot command on command promp as instructed by ThilinaC. Then booted my phone pressing volume rockers and installed Xperia pureness build 11 and patch for my neo. Tested this rom too but disappointed with it's camera, video recording, 3d camera quality etc. Rest everything is smooth and fast but I am so obsessed with photography so can't compromise over image quality. My Stock rom's camera, video recording etc was awesome. These 2 roms just couldn't beat its quality so far.

Hence now i decided to go back to the old kernel and rom where I will compromise on speed of operation but I ll get excellent music, bravia, xloud and super image quality.

So please tell me, how can I revert my neo back? i would be very grateful to u all

Thanks in advance

do you want GB or ICS? on the top of the page if you click on downgrade it will take you to the GB links, if you scroll down it will take you to ICS

I tried custom ICS roms which gave me smooth experience but lacks in some way like bravia, xloud, music, gesture input, camera quality etc.. so wanna go back to that state when I had bought my phone. It had come with GB 2.3.4. It is damn slow but other features like camera quality, music, xloud etc were working awesome

anyways, ur ICS is the same in which I have to compromise things or it is great in all the ways? if so I ll like to have ICS then. tell me

Thank u so much

[Uliwooly]

is or was your phone to a network? if it is/was that network probably didn't approved it.

yes I use Vodafone and my SI no is 1247-8405. So no more ICS for my SI?

[Uliwooly]

you have to contact them directly, and remember since you already flashed different firmwares and custom ROMs the current firmware it's not going to match the SI number on the back, unless you have a backup of that firmware
