I don't understand where is the problem, you are now on ICS, you can't just flash some .62 zip via CWM. By doing that you will only(most likely) replace system partition, other stuff like kernel, baseband, data will be left from ICS.
ThilinaC told you to do a full flash first. Meaning, first flash some GB ftf, then root, then CWM, and then you can flash that zip in CWM.

hm, my advise:
flash .42 ftf, root, CWM, flash that zip you linked, and then flash stock .62 kernel(you can flash stock even on locked BL, of course if you don't have SIM-lock, meaning if your fastboot is enabled)
or you can check this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
and get .62 via OTA update, after flashing .42.

Yes! It is possible to update any device after rooting via PCC OR SEUS.. Only if you haven't unlocked it's bootloader!
Now that you have root access, instead of factory reset you can remove all the bloatware from the device!
Install CWM and flash the zip file from the following link..

This will remove all the unwanted apps and bloatware from your device!

Of course yes it is possible to reset your device after rooting!
And to clear dalvik cache, you first need to install CWM that is Clockward Mod Recovery..
When installed, while your phone boots press the back button or repeatedly press the volume down button.. Go to advanced option and then wipe dalvik cache..

There is a very less chance of a boot loop in this case!
But we always have to be prepared for the worst.. So before doing anything with the CWM, take a backup of your device via CWM only!
Backup and Restore.. and then backup!

I am afraid there isn't any other method..
Since you have a locked bootloader in your device, you would have to root it by flashing the .562 kernel!

Hello !
I have a neo V under GB 2.3.4 build .62 with looked bootloader and non rooted
Now I want to install a new rom for the first time and it's PA JB Hybrid
I saw the instructions but i think it's very hard for a noob like me, I wish someone tell me step by step how to install the rom please and CWM
Also I have some questions :
After installing CWM there is any risk to brick my phone ? (really any risk?)
Is Hdmi is working on this rom ?
Is camera is working on this rom ?
is it smooth for games ?
Thank you a lot people and sorry if my english isn't good
first, you must UNLOCK Bootloader your phone.
You can use official metode or test point metode.
(search both metode in forum)
after that, your phone is ready for Custom ROM.

Can I lock it after that if I want ?

At first you need to install flashtool

what you should have mentioned in the op that at the moment there is no way to relock xperia go on ics so you have to downgrade first to gb so that you can relock yout bootloader( during the ics update the bootloader got changed so someone needs to make ics bootloader locker ftf) .

yes, as I know there is no ics boodloader locker until now .
and these are the steps that I followed .
So if anyone need to use the warranty I think this
is the way to relock the boodloader
and fix the phone new again .
I hope someone make an ics
bootloader locker , and skip all this procedure.

I'm not really sure , but I think that you can skip to step 9 .
If you read the thread where the ST27i_XPERIA.cz_relock_bootloader.ftf , is ,
you will see that you must NOT have custom kernel in your phone ,
so if you have untouch and stock rom ,
then this ftf file must work for you .........
