[Q] CM9 on Xperia U st25a - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi, I'm from El Salvador and I got a question before flashing Cyanogenmod 9 on my phone.
My Xperia U is already rooted and bootloader unlocked, is it safe to flash CM9 kumquat on a st25a? I only found install guides for the st25i but not for the american version.
Thanks for the help.

Safe is a very vague term. Of Course, when you're trying to use custom ROMs like CM, there is always a risk BUT, you can always revert back to stock using flash tool. Before you go about installing the roms, just make sure you have all your necessary drivers for flashtool and adb ; fastboot ready INCASE something goes wrong.

You are right, safe is a really vage term xD
What I really want to know is if there could be any compatibility issues for flashing a CM9 Kernel on my st25a because in the CM Oficial site they only show the Xperia U st25i has the supported device but there is no reference to st25a.

Great So by now you already know that ST25a is treated the same as ST25i

The guy in the video has a Xperia S but the steps are the same for the Xperia U
Hope this info helps you!
