From sola android development section you can find custom kernels with autoroot script and cmw integrated since your bootloader is unlocked.
Here are some links for kernels based on stock ics:

2.Enable USB Debugging on device
3.install-cwm2.cmd for Xperia Mini / MiniPro / Active / Live With Walkman
4.Follow on screen instruction
but it requires root.
Hi, i have a Xperia Neo with a 2.3.4 rom. It looks like sony have released the android 4.0 for its devices.
Does the Xperia Neo have this option, it's official? What are the advantages of 4.0 over 2.3.4?
And are all 2.3.4 apps and games compatible with 4.0?
Thanks!
Were you in coma or something? :/

Hahahaa..... Coma!!!!!. :-D
Actually android 4.0.4 is released now. More functions than older android. But it consumes more RAM,
Everything is compatible with this version,

Probably u were in outer space wen all this happened...
There have been 2 updates of ics.. 4.0.3 and 4.0.4..
Ofcrs official... and We have Got alll of the seciest.. Custom roms on ics..!
Man it's sad ur in the gb world..!
WAKE UP..!!! Do a google and u will get all benefits of ics..!!
Enjoy the device..!
actually, i was so happy with my 2.3.4 that i didn't looked up for an update. But since 4.04 is all good i think i'll try it. I read that some HD games doesn't work so well in this update is it true??
And is necessary to change my kernel too?
Thanks for the answers
Yes, 4.0.4 being the latest

I flashed the official 4.0.4 with an old flashtool (x10, can't install the new one) and now i'm stuck because it isn't rooted, and i can't enter cwm recovery mode to install a custom rooted rom.
How can i enable recovery mode?

Hi,
If your phone works , you can use these Guides for Rooting, ... etc :
Rooting ICS 4.0.4 (both Locked & Unlocked Bootloaders) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
Installing CWM with Locked Bootloader :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509
if your phone doesn't work properly (Reboot Loop , ...etc) , Download SUS & Repair your phone (you probably get ICS 4.0.4) and then use the guides for rooting ,...etc:
SUS (Sony Update Service ) : http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Good Luck!
The phone works. The problem is that i can't open falshtool...
So i need root to flash CWM and i need CWM to flash a rooted rom.
The link you posted requires CWM, right? How can i get CWM without root and without flashtool?

I don't think you could have CWM without root. The Link that i post , needs working Flashtool to root and after that you can install CWM.
Guys ...if u r in unlocked boot loader just install a custom kernel like night elf which have root and cwm within it...then u can install any custom rom .....I used this trick many times ...they it.....use fast boot to install kernel ..

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.

GB rom are good so if you want them simply flash the rom with cwm and flash the kernel using flashtool
HI,
I have an xperia sola and I want to install CWM in it. I have unlocked the bootloader and its on ICS stock and its rooted.
The problem is I heard you can't install CWM in SOLA unless you have a custom kernel installed. Is it true. Is there any way to install custom rom without having CWM

To flash custom Kernels , first you have to Unlock your bootloader....
If you don't know how to do , follow the steps in the below link ..

After unlocking the bootloader , Flash your Custom kernel first and then install your ROM..
