Please tell me if im wrong
1.I have .55 firmware rooted & cwm installed
2.Then I will unlock my bootloader
3.Then I will flash custom kernel like Nova kernel through fastboot(is it prerooted or else I have to flash sys.img)
4.Then I have to format data,cache,system via recovery in phone
5.Then I have to flash P.A.C rom using recovery
Are the steps right or im missing something?

So no need to flash other kernel,only rom to flash?Will my cwm work after unlocking the bootloader.I have baseband of.55,Do I need to update that also?

Everything is included in the pac rom so you can just flash once unlocked. As far as I'm aware your cwm should remain

if you unlocked for free first try to unlock again it will give error that you are already unlocked and if you paid for it flash any kernel
i suggest you to first flash any ics kernel then any ics rom as i think you are flashing ics on gb kernel

I never tried, I don't think it's possible. I'm using CM10 now and Rommanager says it doesn't have another recovery for me other than the one that came with the CM kernel.
If you want to install a custom recovery and keep you bootloader locked, I'd use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346
If you already unlocked your bootloader, just flash a custom kernel like Advanced ICS kernel, that already has CWM.

ok thanks bro for the guidence but now its like factory stat brand new
again i have to root,install cwm and then UHD
so i felt "E-root"is easiest for rooting
"x-parts"is easiest for CWM
and then simple onwards but upto UHD3.0.2
(still i am not sure for the cause either not wiping dalvik or unsuppoerted stock kernel for viper v5 rom please guide)
Yes you have to re root and re install cwm because the ftf file is the full stock firmware that returns phone to factory settings
For viper/UHD just copy ROM into SD, boot into CWM, wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before installing. You cannot flash any custom kernel because you do not have an unlocked boot loader.
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
it means dalvik cache should be wiped?

Hey guys can anyone tell me how to install cwm in my xperia ion.i recently rooted my jb with locked bootloader.

Doomlord is working on that to make one for us. Right now there is no way for those who has Locked Bootloader to get CWM (including me). So we just can wait. If u want something to install, maybe u can just copy it straight away to system and change the permission.

In my case, when i installed CWM @ locked bootloader .55 FW, the CWM didn't work properly. So I suggest you to unlock bootloader & flash doomkernel which is pre loaded with CWM and TWRP.

Pushing the files to the system and changing the permissions is hectic than flashing through recovery. If any error happens it can result in unexpected accidents.
You can unlock the boot loader (u will lose bravia engine) and flash a custom kernel using flash tool.
In the development section you can find some cool kernels with build-in recovery.
If You don't want to unlock , then wait for someone to make a recovery for phones with locked boot loaders.
I am trying to install the rom eXistenZ Ultra 2.0.5, i am following the directions but,

i dont understand this part

Flash a kernel that has recovery built in via flashtool. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked
