Background
I bought this phone and a SIM cutter from Amazon Japan in April. In order to use EMOBILE SIM I had it unlocked at local NTT Docomo shop. It was a very unpleasant experience as the staff took more than 10 minutes to check my identity... longer than the time to unlock the phone.Since most of the bundled Docomo's apps do not run without Docomo's SIM card, and the most important function data-tethering is de-activated for the same reason. This SO-02D was flashed using FlashTool with Generic UK (1257-3921) LT26i ROM (6.0.A.3.67). I was so regret that I should flash it right after the phone was unlocked instead of waiting for 2 more weeks.
Upgrade to ICS
Follow this thread from xda and your SO-02D should have no issue to upgrade to ICS. The only difference from the instruction is my phone gets charge whenever it is connected to my laptop throughout the flash process.Once upgrade completed, enter the following EMOBILE APNs:
EMnet
APN名 emnet.connect
ユーザー名 emobile
パスワード emobile
プロキシ wm.internal.emnet.ne.jp
ポート 8080
MMSC http://mms.internal.emnet.ne.jp

If it is too bothersome, just input the settings of EMnet and PROTOCOL制限なしN. I opt the latter as the default setting. The phone should now be able to connect to internet.
I installed EMnetメール and emobileメール to retrieve EMOBILE's email. emobileメール works without any issue. EMnetメール does not work without switching the APN to EMnet, which is a minor issue as I only receive one email monthly from EMOBILE (i.e. billing!).

Of course, make a backup before doing this!
I did the upgrade on 2nd July, preparation for the upgrade took about 2 hours (installed latest FlashTool and then intercepted by Windows Update), flashing the ROM took about an hour. Spent half day for post configuration.
That's it!
