In my case
I flashed, didn't boot, tried many times, but still didn't boot
So i flashed night elf kernel through fastboot, entered recovery wiped everything

Hi all, i was on stock 4.0.2.A.0.62, flashed just as said in first post, unchecked wipe data and everything is just awsome, works like a charm for now.
I can't thank you enough for your instructions guys!

Just 2 questions:
1. How to take screenshot on ICS
2. There is no Sony Contact widget?

TNX a lot!
