So if I flashed CM10 and found a lot of bugs, I'll be able to restore my stock Sony ICS ROM and everything will work normally? Sorry I'm really new to this

Yes, you can... the simple and fastest answer to your question.

If you don't have an unlocked bootloader, you cannot have a ClockworkMod... which means you cannot install custom ROMs.

Hi.
I don't have Xperia Sola, but if you have access to your CWM it's a good ting if you before flash anything you made a backup of your phone using CWM.
Maybe you haven't made any backup of your phone, than you can try to download some custom rom's from this forum for Xperia Sola, if not you can try to find a stock rom for your phone. I'm sure it has been posted lot of Xperia Sola stock rom here, and you flash it by using flashtool.
Maybe you will found something here:

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).

Just flash the compatible jb kernel and do all the necessary wipes and then flash the rom. That's it.
And for the 2nd question try some yourself. Everybody has their own personal choice.

Personally, I don't see much difference between them, so it's all your choice.
.100 is good because .10 lags for me . but is it your choice .
