Theese are the requirements:
⇒ baseband 70
⇒ New Baseband 72
⇒ 4.1.B.0.431 ICS 4.0.4 Root
⇒ CWM5.5.0.4 v7 Recovery
Be sure to have it or else install it prior to advancing to the next step.
"Settings/about phone" here you see baseband and and firmware of your phone.
You also gotta have root and cwm (the later you can get with an app called x-parts since you have a Xperia).
Now you have to do the following:
#wipe dat / factor reset
#wipe cache partition
#advanced / wipe dalvik cache
#Mounts and restore :
Format /Data
Format /system
Then you install the rom from within cwm when you've downloaded the rom to your sd-card (install zip)
Hope that info helped.
There are guides for each step here on xda if you just know what you want to do (for example: install cwm / root / upgrade firmware etc).
Good luck!

in cwm before installation
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. go to mounts and storage menu and\
4. format /system
5. format/data
6. format cache
7. exit mounts and storage menu
6. go to advance
7. wipe dalvik cache
8. wipe battery stats
9. exit advance
10. install Jelly sandwich from sd card without rebooting

I have done all of this and i am also stuck at sony logo damn strange.

I gave up trying to install this and other roms due to always ending up stuck at the Sony logo. I tried all different methods of formating in cwm but none worked for me and being on a locked bootloader it's so time consuming to get back to a point where you can try again.

hahahaha so true , i have lost my afternoon trying to install this Rom. What is strange is that i had a working JSandwich (and old version).
I am tiered of going to stock then kernel for neo V then root explorar x-parts ...
But stock sucks so much compared to JS that i will probably try again in a few days.

I have locked bl in my arc s and it was never easy to install the latest versions of JS lol but if I did a full wipe ( data, cache, format /sytem, etc.) I would finally have the rom working. Probably the problem that your facing is related to your aroma combinations

[Q] Locked Bootloader Custom Rom

hello , i have rooted my Xperia play and i have a question , can I install Gin2JellyBean on it with a locked bootloader and a CWM installed from X-parts ? Can I backup my stock rom with it if I get a bootloop ? From my exGalaxy Mini i know that when you flash a Custom Rom you need to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, if I do it when i install Gin2JellyBean My cwm will get deleted because i have read that it installs to /system not on it's own recovery partiton

to make it short:
- yes you can install
- yes you can backup stock (in rooted sate with xparts installed) before install - and revert later (you also can recover completely with sony tool any time)
- regarding factory - if you reset - just reinstall xparts
- for gin2jelly install instructions head to related thread plz

and to make it easier, procedure is all the same for locked bootloaders to install custom roms (GB roms only). just be sure that the rom supports locked bootloaders.

[Q] CWM Wipe Data \ Factory Reset wipes everything

So I use to install custom roms all the time with no issues, but on my last two android phones I have to Wipe Data / Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and every time it wipes the OS, then I have to re-flash. I have done the following.
- Unlocked Phone
- Rooted Phone
- Flashed CWM Recovery
- Create Backup...Can only use this once I re-flash the phone,
Xperia Ion JB
I miss custom rom's lol, any idea`s...

Resolved!!!
This is how I have to do this and still not sure why, but I'm a rookie so...
- Root Device
- Install Rom Manager (Fix Permissions) - Reboot
- Install Busybox Application (Install with Smart Install)
- Install CWM Recovery
if I don't follow this exactly the wipe data deletes everything and I have to re flash.

Have u tried "format data, cache" in mounts and storage instead of wipe? i think u might hv messed with cwm.. or may be the cwm version isn't for ub? hv u checked that? tried other versions of cwm?
