Its easy.Dont worry.

I rooted my Sola yesterday.Instead of "Advanced Stock Kernel" you could use

ClockworkMod Recovery Kernel

Plus point is Recovery option.

There no Custom ICS or Jellybean ROMs available for Sola.

Only one GB Custom Rom is available i.e SSpeed ROM.

Please read the tutorial link posted by randomuser111 and get bootloader unlocked.


Then read CWM link that I posted and flash the phone with kernel.
After you flash it your phone will be rooted and CWM installed.

Yes if u unlock bootloader u will lose contacts, apps and everything. So perform a backup first.

To get the blue LED (fastboot mode) you need keep the volume up key pressed and connect usb to phone.

Yes flashtool is must, you can't unlock bootloader without it. Yes you may download Android SDK or just download the Android_with_usb file from the XDA tutorial page link. Either will do.

P.S. If you want me to do it for you over Teamviewer I would be glad to help. PM me with your teamviewer ID and pin.
