Hi all i just got my v
Here's the newest firmware for the Xperia V lt25. It has some removeable apps in data/app which you can uninstall directly from the appdrawer. Here i'll explain how to get the newest firmware + root/cwm
Download:
- https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bw1nKHrMVCzfeL1HdHFUbENVg (453MB)
Requirements:
- Flashtool and all the required driver
- Unlocked bootloader
If you don't want root and cwm you can skip all steps except #1
The FTF can be used to repair soft-bricked phones even on locked bootloader
If you're already on the latest firmware or just want root and cwm on your current rom, skip step #1
How to get root and CWM recovery after flashing:
Download and Flash the FTF though flashtool if you want the newest f/w. This step is optional (not needed if you're already on stock)
Flash championswimmers unsecure kernel using fastboot so that you can get root access though ADB (needed cause the root & cwm procedure will be done in adb)
Follow the simple instructions here. Thanks to bjohv052

Unzip the files from this post. Put 'su' and 'busybox' in the same folder as 'adb.exe'
Boot the phone, then use adb to install the files. Remember to activate usb debugging. Run the following commands on your command line:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell
cd /system/xbin
chmod 06755 su
chmod 04755 busybox
busybox --install -s /system/xbin
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
Now you can install SuperSU or Superuser from Play Store. Be aware though that problems have been reported with SuperSU. Try Superuser if SuperSU doesn't work.

Now reboot and install Superuser from the store.
See this post for recovery. There's also a simple instructions in there.. It's for the Xperia T but there's no reason for it to not work on the v
That should be all, there u go with cwm, root, and latest firmware. If you have problems feel free to post in here

Thanks, Sony said Xperia V should be available in France to the end of January 2013 with Android 4.1 !
Hope this will be true.
Thanks. Grabbed this and installed on my Xperia V with Telenor (Switching to Netcom later today tho).
The firmware is a bit bloaty, but nothing that cant be removed
Edit: Seems to be a bit less laggy than the international FW without bloat,
I'm actually thinking of going back to this one instead of the international no-bloat FW.
Edit: "CWM Recovery & Rooted".
Any chance you'd upload the kernel you're using, or explain how you did it?
I cant seem for the love of .. to get CWM Recover and\or Root working.
I did manage to get 4.1 JB AOKP working with custom kernel with root and CWM,
but not the stock ROM.

Yes the it is bloaty, but all is removeable..
Well i've never used an another f/w than this, so don't really know if it's faster
I've updated 1st post with instructions
One tiny and optional addition: Since SuperSU is newer than Superuser, you can install Superuser first, and then install SuperSU which will be granted root access by Superuser, to update the su binary. After that you can remove Superuser.
Just some observation:
On the official Sony Xperia V page, the .484 is the latest firmware. But people with Nordic phones get .10 update OTA + the people who have converted Nordic blob_fs to ftf. So maybe the .10 update is only specific update for Nordic countries eg. regional regulation addition or something like that. Did anyone with World Generic get the OTA yet?

Nothing will be gone The cwm and root process simply pushes the required files to /system nothing else
But the FTF flashing process (which is not needed) will wipes your phone
I cannot flash the unsecure bootloader...(My bootloader is still locked)
Here is the command result..
Code:
C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib>fastboot flash boot lt25i-unsecure-debuggable.elf
sending 'boot' (6561 KB)...
FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
finished. total time: 0.013s
Is it I missed something?

Check the dates, it's an old version, maybe even oldest. 9.1.A.1.140 is the latest version.

I want to install CWM recovery mode. So first do I have to gain root privilages to my device? If so, how?
Or Can we directly install cwm recovery without rooting the device? If yes please guide me how.
Thank you so much

If I was on your place, I would flash with Odin JV5 or JV4 stock FW with baseband for your region (India?) and flash after that kernel Semaphore 2.7.4, it contains root, CWM recovery and works great.
Alternatively, you can flash JVU stock FW and after that the Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel (compatible for that firmware)
All you need is Odin 1.81, 1.82 or 1.83 (last compatible version for the i9000). You can check my latest thread, there is step by step guide, all download links and even video how to flash a kernel or whole firmware (same proceeding). But read carefully whole the guide before you start!

No, you don't have to root to get CWM, you can flash a semaphore GB kernel as is to get CWM and upgrade to others. juts follow this guide and the semaphore GingerBread (latest) kernel

flashing with Odin is fine, being rooted doesn't matter.
