[Q] I need help with instalation Xperia Ultimate HD - General Questions and Answers

HI!
I have two quesstions. I downloaded Xperia Ultimate HD 3.1 (Beta). I found two guides to install it, but I don't know which i can should use.
I have Xperia Arc S with LOCKED bootloader.
First: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955248
There are some steps, which are skip in "official" guide in UHD thread.
For example: according to Tesla's guide I should:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. go to mounts and storage menu
4. format /system
5. format /data
6. format /cache
7. go back to main menu
8. go to advance menu
9. wipe dalvik cache
10. wipe battery stats
11. go back to main menu
12. choose install zip from sd card and then choose xperia_ultimate_hd_2.0.zip file or xperia ultimate hd 2.0.2.zip
13. After Complete Installation untick "reboot" <-- (NOT reboot device) and press reboot in CWM
14. you are now back in cwm, choose reboot
15. Now your phone should start up after some minutes and you can enjoy your Arc with Ultimate HD™ ROM 2.0
But according to "official" guide I should only:
For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash any Kernel for stock ICS.
For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app
Place ROM on SD-Card
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!
As you cas see in "official" guide aren't steps like: format /cache, wipe dalvik cache, format /data, format /cache.
So, which guide I must use to avoid bootloop? And, can I use Eroot to root my Xperia?
Soooorry for my awful English

Hi there!
It looks to me that you are missing a few steps there.
First of all enter into Recovery (CWM) and do a Backup so that you can always restore to where you were!
Assuming that you have obviously put the zip on your SD just continue in Recovery.
Scroll down to Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Scroll down to Yes Delete all user data
Scroll down to install zip from SDcard
Choose zip from SDcard
Scroll down to your zip file and install
Well mate according to the developer the Wipe Data/Factory Reset is all you need but see how you go and let me know if it worked for you!
Oh and don't forget to hit Thanks!

I forgot mention all this above..... i've done all this and yet no gain
Hi again...do not worry. Let's add some other steps:
Open Recovery and repeat the Wipe Data/Factory Reset step above and add these steps below:
Wipe Cache Partition
Scroll down to Advanced
Choose Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go back to main menu
Scroll down to and choose Mounts and Storage
Then choose these 3 steps, each at the time, always scrolling down to yes and going back to the same place after each format is completed.
Format /Cache
Format /Data
Format / System
Then do the following steps like Install zip from SDcard, etc.
Now!!! That has to work......lol
Let me know how it went for you. I am assuming you can still get into your CWM right?
Oh and don't forget to hit THANKS.

[Q] Sony Xperia Sola got stuck in Sony boot logo!

Hi,
Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!
I did the following steps mentioned in the ROM page of XDA to install the custom ROM on my phone.
1. Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot ---- LEFT OUT THIS ONLY STEP BY MISTAKE and done the subsequent steps.
2. Enter CWM
3. Make a full wipe:
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Wipe Cache
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. format /data (advanced)
8. format /dache (advanced)
9. format /system (advanced)
-Flash ROM. --- YET TO FLASH THE ROM.
I'm unable to access CWM. I can't power off, I can only restart, but getting stuck at Sony logo everytime. It would be very kind if you could help me in getting the phone to work as normal.
Thanks,
Irfan
