how to install CM12 on rooted Xperia Go ST27i (for novice)

[ahv]

Hey!

I'm having trouble installing CM12 - followed many instructions and still nothing - I can't even reboot into recovery with multiple apps (CMW, quick boot etc).

Anyhow, so far I've managed to root my phone, Root Checker app says that my phone is rooted correctly. Android version is 4.1.2

What I should do next? I've downloaded CM12 lotus.zip and gapps and copied both to my SD card - now here I'm stuck.

Should I flash custom recovery? Volume down, power button down, home button pressing won't work.

Can you please tell me step by step how to get CM12 working on my Xperia Pro?

Many thanks!

Ahv

You are asking in the wrong place but normally there are two ways

1st from your custom recovery like TWRP flash the .zip file or 2nd boot to Fastboot mode and with the file on your Pc flash the file

Best check XDA as all instructions are over there
