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:

Firstly use the SEARCH bar and to answer your question, since your bl is unlocked so no need to root it just install any pre-rooted kernel with built in recovery and then flash any rom compatible with the kernel Best of luck
Best Regards,
AJ
if your bootloader is unlocked then just pick any kernel from LWW thread , be sure about kernel ( ICS,GB,or JB) , mostly every kernel have CWM recovery, and now you can install custom roms

I'm sorry but such type of questions are discouraged in XDA as they compare the works of such great devs which is an insult to the. Try each since kernels are not of very big size and hope u can get the best one for you

Hello All
I have bought a new Xperia Sola. I want to make a backup of its ROM before I upgrade to ICS or even if i dont upgrade i want a backup of stock ROM so that i can reinstall it after 1 yr (once the phone gets laggy).
I searched but couldnt find any relevant post. Can someone please guide me.
I found this link for X1 but not sure if the process applies to Sola also.
I dont want to install anything and just want to back a backup of the factory state of this new phone.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot.
not a single reply ((
U need to root and install cwm
Its the best backup of current state of ur rom
Root and installing cwm is extremely easy
So atleast u need to install cwm
Backup apps wont backup ur rom
Or if u want
U can just backup apps via titanium backup
U can get back to gingerbread easily via flashtool
Thanks for your reply.
Can you please give me on some place where i can download a custom kernel with CWM for Xperia Sola?
There is a thread in which guy is teaching how to build / compile own kernel.I dont wanna compile. It looks too difficult. I can just flash new kernel.

First of all thanks for your reply.
But this is based on Sony Latest Source Code: 6.1.1.B.1.54 / .56 / .75.
But my build number is 6.0.B.3.184
Where can i find one for 184
I already have my bootloader unlocked and device rooted and running on this old kernel and getting a notification that NEW SYSTEM UPDATE AVAILABLE 6.0.B.3.184
I am on Stock GB. Just need the rooted kernel for build 6.0.B.3.184.

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

Hello guys, please forgive me if any of this has caused the slightest troubles to you
So,
i just rooted my phone a day ago and installed clockwork mod too...
i am a total newbie and don't know anything about this.... So i went searching for some custom mods for my sk17i or Xperia mini pro...
And i found one on this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102979
So then i installed it from the instructions given on most of the websites... i had a kernel of 4.1.b.0.587 on the phone and i don't even know much about flashtool...
Now the rom is installed or whatever it is but the UI has completely changed and it's not like the pics on the site... It's just completely black... And the worse part is that i can't even access my settings menu on the phone... So now i am blocked from doing anything... i cant even start usb debugging and take off the root....
please tell me some roms for the phone or any other way this can be undone...
Oh and btw i also tried installing some roms from http://get.cm/?device=mango because i thought cyanogen is pretty famous...
But none of them gets installed... and i even tried placing them as updates but no luck :crying::crying:
please help... thank you so much

Hmmm...if i understand your problem correctly, you ROOT and install CWM on you Mango, then you flash custom mods...problem appears after flashing custom mods right????
Hmmm....okey, for you info, those custom mods are for CM10 Roms ONLY and i believe you haven't flash CM10 Roms FIRST before you flash those mods...you can't use those mods on STOCK ROM (GB and ICS)...its designed for JB rom only....No wonder your phone got black screen...you trying to flash some mods that isn't COMPATIBLE with your roms...you need to flash STOCK Roms back if you want to fixed your problem...
for you second question...did your phone BOOTLOADER is Unlock??? if is not then sorry you can't CM Roms without unlocking the Bootloader first....CM Roms mush use CUSTOM KERNEL not STOCK KERNEL and after Unlocking you Bootloader then you can flash CUSTOM KERNEL and CM Roms...

As far as I know, the kernel should be in the rom.zip (it's the boot.img). Extract it and flash it using flashtool or the fastboot tools
Otherwise search for a kernel for android 4.2.2 in Dev section and flash that one. Should work too
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2
One thing to remember is, before flashing a custom ROM or MOD, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.
To be on the safer side, backup every week or so and keep the last two or three backups.

Your phone got almost bricked,No it didnt, First thing before installing a custom ROM clear your system,data,cache partition..did you do that?
ok so you have CWM installed..follow this exactly
Start CWM by pressing vol down when your phone starts up,Select Mount USB Storage under mounts and storage,connect phone to pc,transfer ROM zip file to sdcard then
format /system ,/data,/cache ,now select install zip from sdcard and select your ROM zip file from sdcard
Reboot System..
You should be clear now..
Hope i helped..
Regards..
PS :Certain CM ROMS can be highly unstable so i recommend checking out the bugs and everything before you flash a CM rom..otherwise ICS is always smooth and stable..and have got a lot a lot of mdpi roms on xda..thanks to devs..
EDIT: if u r on a stock kernel,then unlock your bootloader by following steps at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com then flash a custom kernel that supports JB..look over at the index thread created by predator at the dev section..
then follow my steps above..
DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM JB ROM ON STOCK ICS KERNEL.IT WONT WORK.
