Both PCC* and Flashtool are viable options to flash ICS.
*If ICS is available in his region

Ultimate HD ROM is for ICS not GB.You have to flash stock ICS to be able to use that ROM,or if you like GB more flash GB Stock rom with flashtool.For installing GB you have to use flashtool 0.6.9.1,find somewhere GB 2.3.4 .42 or .62 .ftf file and flash it.
Here you can find out how to do it:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/43008
Just remember for flashin GB use flashtool 0.6.9.1 'cause only with that version you will be able to install GB Stock ROM
And use GB .42 its easyer to root.Good luck

make full wipe and test again if slow

install one of these - they're based on ICS and are blazingly fast Jelly Sandwhich or Xperia HD Ultimate

Just download version 7.4 and put on sd card and then flash with cwm. If you want to use version 8.2, you must download 8.0, flash it, download 8.1, flash it, and then download 8.2 and flash it lol. It's quite easy Follow the instructions on the post

that flash took you completly back to stock so no more root access and all the bloatware has been added...is the flash to android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4????

Well I ask this because 2.3.4 is unrootable unless you flash a pre-rooted kernel so if your BL is unlocked then flash a pre-rooted kernel and install CWM recovery then install your prefered ICS ROM or I would suggest JB then flash their kernel and you should be good

Sig is his signature.... Look under his comment it says ROM slimbeam v3 and the kernel he is using

Ooh, sorry my bad, thanks

I dont understand why u say "i'm using STOCK ICS"... what is STOCK ICS? Since Xperia Play never had an OFFICIAL STOCK ICS.
Anyway if u are having problem, probably u have Markphyton rom.
Advice: if u want a perfect ICS rom stable with 100% touchpad, use CM9.1

This is simple, just flash This 2.3.4 enhanced version, turn on USB debugging mode, then use SuperOneClick or flashtool to root it.

This will not help with your headphone jack issue, you will have to buy this adaptor: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-EC250-Headphones-Adaptor-1249-0456/dp/B009HW15UG/
