I think the easiest way is to put a custom kernel,
I like the rage kernel 3.2 for ics or 3.0 for gingerbread because it doesn't mess with the wifi...

Since you have unlocked bootloader, just fastboot to install.

[Q] Installing MIUI without unlocking bootloader ??

Hello
I wanted to know if i can install MIUI in my neov without unlocking my bootloader ?? I knw bootloader needs to be unlocked to install custom ROMS ..but is there any way out ?? :O
Thanking you
I don't think you need for MIUI V4 (ICS) because it's stock based and it works on stock kernel. So update to official ICS with flashtool, then install recovery and flash MIUI.
there is in Spanish?

You've unlocked your bootloader on your neo v rite?
do you have any problem changing roms,i'm not exactly a noob just that i just created this account,but i keep having bootloop problem ever since i change to JB, please help .Thanks.
By the way , my bootloader is unlocked

as for as your problem i think you have not flashed JB kernel, their are so many kernels for JB choose one or read how to installrom from OP..
I would like to give a brief about locked and unlocked bootloader, it may help to other peeps
if you unlocked your bootloader it doesnt solve the bootloops, the main reason of bootloops are you have to use respected kernel for the respected rom, if you are flashing ics rom then you should be on ics kernel, same for ginger bread (GB) or jelly bean, you shouldnt be confused if you read the procedure of flashing the rom from OP,
whats wrong with locked bootloader?
if you accidently flashed any wrong mod or rom which is not suitable to your stock kernel you get bootloops, and you cannot restore backed up rom immediately because you have to reflash stock from scratch and then recovery, after then only you can flash etc, it is a very painfull process,
why to unlock bootloader..?
unlocked bootloader is like a muscle car , after unlocking you flash custom kernel which has cwm recovery per-installed , if you got any booloops you can easily manage restore backup, or you can flash custom rom which is compatible with flashed kernel, and you can easily switch kernels switch roms flash mods without worry,
this is explained in many ways and many times In xda, but peeps are lazy to search...
Please dont mind if my briefing is boring and useless...
thank you..

Why do you get Sony logo if you flash kernel... Are you sure you are fastbooting kernel instead of hotbooting?

[Q] how to replace ROMS

I have been using Jelly Sandwich 6.2 on my Neo V, with CWM based recovery 5.0.2.7 (locked bootloader)
but now I want to re-install another rom, is there a need to re-flash the kernel ?
Can I change another recovery, such as Clockworkmod Recovery Touch or any other one?
ON THE OTHER HAND, I TRIED SOME ROMS BUT WITHOUT CHINESE, (A) PURENESS (B) ICS REVOLUTORY HD
WHICH ROMS SHOULD YOU SUGGEST FOR ME?
You just need to flash the new rom with full wipes..format etc..
no need to re-flash kernel..
and bout recovery use CWM 5.5.0.4..use xParts to install..CWM touch has some bugs last time i checked dont know if they've been solved now..

I don't think there's a CWM touch for this device.
If you want to flash another ROM, flash the recommended kernel ( for unlocked BL) or use stock kernel itself (for locked BL).

No it won't brick it, it will just install the cwm.

Yes you can flash stock kernel and there are several threads which have link for stock ICS kernel
Open any thread related to rooting the device and you will find it there
There are several good kernels for ICS lupus,alliance, suave

if u have made a backup of your phone before flashing custom kernel or rom than just simply do a restore via cwm...or if dont have any back up than dwnl the stock ics frimware and kernel and flash them using flashtools..
If u dont have any problem then just Relock bootloader . And use SUS for stock ...
Then unlock BT again ...

No he doesn't have to relock bootloader..coz he doesn't need SUS
Sorry for troubling you guys, i already done it, the reason i want to flash back .587 firmware is because i installed a rom which is based on .587 firmware but i installed that rom in .431 firmware and because of that there is some bugs. So, i want to flash back the stock .587 firmware and reinstall that rom again. but i appreciate it.
