command is : fastboot flash boot boot.img
make sure image file to be flashed is renamed as boot.img (otherwise type in command line accordingly)

Does the phone restart itself?
If NO - wait for some more time.
If YES - you are in a bootloop.

Did you install Night-elf kernel.
If YES - pull battery, re-insert. Then power on phone. When blue light comes up (Sony ericsson logo turns a bit brighter) press the back key 2-3 times. You'll enter recovery. Wipe data, and then reboot.

@shardul
can we expect a updated version of the main rom having the all new stuffs. ( not demanding)
bcos a lot of new ppl may feel uncomfotable using usb debugging.

Though the idea seems good, I am more inclined to keep the base as close to stock as possible.

As for the USB debugging thing, the steps are so simple that even noobs should have nothing to worry!
Steps:
1. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Enable "USB debugging"
2. Connect phone to PC.
3. Run INSTALL.bat
As easy as it gets..

Still if someone wants, I can make a CWM flashable zip.

    For my ICS ROM, go here -> t=1603919

    1. What is so special about this ROM?
    The main feature is 390 MB is free on /data for your apps!
    attachment.php

    This is the highest free on any custom ROM for the Neo V.

    2. How is this made possible?
    a) This ROM has been ODEXed. Hence all dalvik files for system apk's are in the /system partition itself!
    b) Dalvik-cache has been moved to the /cache partition.

    3. Why ODEX the ROM?
    a) ODEX ROM's load up faster the first time
    b) ODEX'ed system apks do not create .dex files in dalvik-cache, hence size of dalvik-cache decreases. This is required so that there is enough room on the /cache partition for the dalvik-cache also.

    4. What are the features of this ROM?
    • Based on stock .62 firmware for Neo V
    • Rooted and busybox (latest su binary and Superuser.apk)
    • 12 Notification toggles with QuickPanel app for editing them.
    • Zipaligned (and script)
    • All included apps updated to latest version.
    • Many bloatware apps removed (see the attached list, i can post them on request)
    • ES File explorer, No Frills CPU control added
    • Google maps navigation unlocked for the whole world - credits brutall,ownhere.
    • Battery life is very good (thanks to the Night-elf kernel)
    • Many init.d scripts for smoothness and battery life.
    • UOT kitchen compatible

    5. Where to get this ROM?

    Download (Mediafire - 128 MB)

    Patch for Xperia Neo - Not tested, please try and give feedback!


    Addons:
    new.gif
    Xperia S Mega Pack -> Details and Download
    Custom Battery -> Details and Download
    Transparent Status bar + Toggles -> Download
    Xperia S Dialler Asterix Fix -> Download - (Update 2012-04-06) - Credits Soheil_rf


    6. How to install this ROM.
    1. Copy Downloaded files to SD card.
    2. Flash Night-elf's kernel for stock (latest version 9) [ Instructions ]
    3. Enter recovery by pressing the back key when you see the blue light.
    4. If you were not on stock/stock-based ROM, wipe Data is safer [ AFTER NANDROID BACKUP ]
    5. Install zip followed by any addon required.
    6. Reboot to you new Spacious, Smooth and Lightwieght ROM :)


    7. Any disadvantages of ODEX'ed ROM?
    The only disadvantage is that you cannot install custom themes on the ROM.
    But, mind you, UOT kitchen can be used to change a lot of the UI.


    8. But why not use Link2SD or Dalvik2SD?
    It has its own problems, most important being io speeds from the card and problems when card is removed.


    9. Any reviews?
    "Jus one word to say "awesome"..hats off..!
    biggrin.gif

    Looking very long time for this kind of rom..jus perfect buddy..keep it up..everything works fine..
    Cheers..!" - abirokz

    "Now this ROM is beyond imagination its insanly fast then the STOCK !!!" - piku2008

    "Rom is lagfree and stable. Battery life is also good." -archijit

    " - quachvidat

    "Clean, Neat, Simple and Fast. I didn't event see my phone work like this when i bought it.

    " - karthicvkn

    "No issues here as well. Am using lite Night-elf 9.6. Very stable, smooth ROM.

    "This rom is best by far. It's smooth, light, and have very nice performance + great battery life" - sspoko

    YOU SIR ARE A LEGEND, as far as i am concerned you are my god. this rom not only is SUPER SMOOTH but it also has amazing battery life and plays temple run AMAZINGLY. - moonytoonyking


    10. Why is "Premium" in the title?
    Because there is no re-branding.. The about screen is exactly like stock ROM - no strange names there ;)

    11. No donate button?
    You wont find that on any of my threads.
    And also, this is my daily driver ROM, made for me. I am just sharing it with the hope that it will be useful to somebody else.
    Also, all credits to the kernel dev and all those who made custom ROM's possible! If you still want to donate, please PM me for the link.
