I am currently on a custom ICS ROM.. And I want to try some GB ROMs too.. So what should I do?
Should I first flash the GB's stock ROM? If yes, then with which kernel?
Xperia Neo V..
Unlocked Bootloader..
Xperia Pureness (Build 3).. by Thilnac

Flash generic global .42 (comes with correct kernal) root it then OTA update to 62 install cwm then go from their do wat you want
But since I have an unlocked bootloader, do you think I would be able to update OTA?
Won't it brick the phone?
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
mine brick while update through OTA.i have to relock BL with s1tool...
So what should I do?
Should I flash the 0.62 ftf file using flashtool directly and then root it with the Doomlord's kit?
Or any other suggestions???

He's on unlocked bootloader, why messing with ota's..
@OP: if you wanna jump straight to some custom rom: flash .62 .ftf, and flash any custom kernel advised by rom creator.
Its same as you did with ics, first stock .ftf then kernel, then rom.
Hey man. If you previously were using the latest ICS Sony ROM before hopping to a custom ROM, then simply flash the kernel of that Custom GB ROM, wipe everything and flash as usual. You are good to go. There is no need to downgrade so long as you're on latest.

From sola android development section you can find custom kernels with autoroot script and cmw integrated since your bootloader is unlocked.
Here are some links for kernels based on stock ics:

To flash custom Kernels , first you have to Unlock your bootloader....
If you don't know how to do , follow the steps in the below link ..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
After unlocking the bootloader , Flash your Custom kernel first and then install your ROM..

ViperXperia V8 is ICS Rom.So you should ics kernel as Pranto Roy told.
lupus is very good.but you can also try kappa kernel. It is also good.
