I believe you have the BOOTLOADER unlocked.
Otherwise bootloops or you might end up in briking your precious mobile
Read THIS to get some lights of BOOTLOADER unlocking
To use JellyBean Rom, you have to flash JB kernel.. and if your's is BL locked you shld not try flashing the a different ROM kernel.
Only Stock based (ICS in your case) Custom ROMs can be flashed.
:silly:Happy Flashing and enjoy Custom MODS and ROMS in XDA as i DO :silly:

you can try Paranoid Android JB rom. find it in the Neo development thread. there is an instruction on how to install the rom in the thread itself.

Follow the Instruction provided in Custom ROM thread in Neo/Neo V Development section

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.

you mean first i have to flash with official stock rom or what??Plz tell me..
You need the ICS stock rom first to get the kernel.
Look for the global ICS file in the forums. It's on a torrent.

Yes u should read that rom is based on 6.1 not 6.0 (gb)
So if u want that rom just flash 6.1.b.1.10 and then flash the pure blood rom as per instructions
After installing pureblood ROM via CWM,switch off the phone and then flash .54 Kernel through flashtool by putting in fastboot mode.No need for installing stock ics.I can provide you the kernel file,if you need.
waht is best between Ultimate sola and pure blood?
ultimate saola is v1, it's mean that pure blood v2 is most recent?

They are different ROMs. One is stock lite (All bloat removed). The other is stock enhanced.
Check the thread to see which is which.

i think you need to root your phone first,install cwm,then flash stock ICS ROM,after that then flash SlimCM rom.
what about kernel ?? do I need to install it in the end and what kernels work best with SlimCM ? won't I loose root when I flash stock ICS Rom ?

Use fast boot and flash sliding xu kernel. Actually I recommend transcendence kernel. Flash that, reboot into recovery, copy ROM zip to storage. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system and then flash slim cm zip
