How To Install JJ's HYBRID ROM

Hey guys,
I had an Xperia Play for sometime. I taken the plunge to install a custom rom. I have tried before but I keep failing as my phone gets stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo.
Basically I want to install JJ's HYBRID ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573547
It says to boot in CWM which I did and do a full wipe and flash. I wipe then install zip file.
I am using 4.0.2.a.0.42 rooted with CWM. I amalso using stock kernel. mainly because I dont know how to install doomkernel because I dont know what is fastboot and how to use it because majority of the posts assume you know about this.
Also I want to try to jokawild rom but it tells me to flash to 0.62 baseband. but I cant root it aso how do I install cwm. Am I missing something does doomkernel come with cmw? sorry im a noob
Please help!
thanks in advance

Have you unlocked your bootloader as you use fastboot for that. You will need to flash a custom Kernal like dooms to be able to install custom Roms.
BTW This should be in Q&A section.

How to flash CWM to unlocked bootloader ICS Arc S

Hi, I have a unbranded, unlocked Arc S, running ICS, and I want to flash the 4.04 image, which comes as a CWM zip.
Everything is currently stock but rooted.
The 4.04 update is a ZIP (rather than a FTF), so I think I need CWM installed to flash the update. I can't find anything that tells me how.
I found a easy installer, but it categorically says don't use it with ICS.
HELP!!!

CWM Auto-Installer
Try CWM auto-installer, you can find it in Play Store and it worked to me.

Look in the dev section for the stock ics kernel with cwm is the simplest way.

Use fastboot to boot either a custom kernel like ArcNight or DoomKernel, or cobratos modded stock. They contain cwm, on boot repeatedly press any of the h/w keys to enter cwm and flash the zip on the sdcard.

I only ever found the old beta kernel for ICS, not the final one. Got a link?
I tried the auto CWM installer, and yes it did install onto stock ICS, and I managed to install the 4.04 ZIP, but now it just hangs on the Sony startup screen.
Any advice on how to get back to something that works?

Sorry I haven't looked at that Rom as it's a dev Rom thats been ported, before installing that Rom did you make a cwm backup? Otherwise you install another Rom.

Before flashing a ics rom in zip format you need to flash a complete ics (ftf file) via flashtool /pc companion /seus.

What version of flashtool you're using?

Can't flash ROM. Must install ROM zip after you flash the appropriate kernel. Install ROM in recovery.

Have you tried flashing other versions of ftf?

First try to flash stock kernel and then rom separately if it doesn't work then simply dont flash any stock file until you get its solution and till then flash doomkernel v14 or whatevet kernel siuts you since you have unlocked bl and then go to cwm to flash gb rom. Don't panic your phone is soft bricked and recoverable easily FYI there is soln for hard brick too.X(

Did you get all the drivers installed first before trying to flash anything? Are you using fastboot to install kernel?

CWM question - a scenario......

An xperia S. Locked bootloader but rooted with cwm installed.
Stock gingerbread firmware installed
If i downloaded a pre rooted zip file of ICS stock firmware and flashed via cwm would it work?
As in can cwm flash the kernel/boot.img even if the bootloader is locked but the kernel/boot.img is still stock sony?

If you want flash stock ICS when you are on GB, you MUST be on ICS first. Then you can flash ICS with CWM.
You can't flash stock kernel with CWM. You should use flashtool to do this.
