    I had rooted installed custom ROM of many phones like iphone, Galaxy, Canvas 2 and many more previously.
    Now, I rooted my Xperia Neo L MT25i, installed cwm recovery and then installed new ROM as per - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190534
    However, it went into boot loop with Sony & Xperia logo. I started to do everything all over again but some steps failed. Then it stuck into SONY logo. So it was a complete mess. I spent so may hours to perform different stuffs to get it working, all failed and I was without any cell connectivity. I then found your blog. I read it and it gave me confidence. I have followed the until Zeus Kernel installation. My phone is back now with Xperia Play ROM though (but I can take care of it over the weekend).

    I want to thank you so much for posting this article. It was a life saver. All Kudos to you.
