To flash custom ROM's you must do this steps:
1. Flash the same firmware version which is your custom ROM is based on
2. Install DoomKernel
3. In some cases installation of prerooted stock firmwares is needed
4. Connect your device to the PC, rename ROM's .zip file into "update.zip", upload update.zip file into your SD card, reboot in recovery mode (eg volume up during DoomKernel bootlogo for SXS)
5. Backup, wipe data, wipe dalvik, factory reset
6. Install from SD card - update.zip
That's it

Clockword Mod Recovery is automatically installed when I flash the boot .img that is extracted from the rom file via flashtools method but Cant install CWM from rom manager as it doesnt supports my device and installing a rom via rom manger boot loops as rom manager while installing doesnt install the kernel provided with the rom file as it is running the current running rom kernel..
Steps I use to flash a rom
First I copy the gapps and custom rom zip folder onto sd card
Extract boot.img file from the custom rom on my pc
Open Flashtool
Open recovery my phone and wipe and format data,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Shut the phone
Connect my phone in fastboot mode by pressin volume buttons
Flastool displays that my device is sucessfully connected in fastboot mode
Click thunder sign in flashtool
Select fastboot mode
Select kernel to flash
Select the boot.img file that I previously extracted from the custom rom file
The kernel is flashed
Then i go into recovery
Again Wipe and format data,Wipe Cache,Wipe Dalvik Cache,.
Install Zip from sd card
Install custom rom zip file and gapps zip file
Installation is done.Then I reboot the phone

Hi everyone...
I need help about putting CM 10 to my Xperia J [ST26i]
My Xperia came with 11.0.A.7.5 firmware.
First thing I do is Unlocking Bootloader - which is successfull...
Second is trying to Root it...
So I have downgraded to 11.0.A.3.28_WE firmware then rooted it.
Then I decided to put a CM10 FXP 209...
Everything is continued without problem...
Untill I'm on writing "boot.img" to my ST26i...
I've tried CMD and Flashtool but both says "Device must be rooted, are you root?" or something like that...
But my device is already rooted on 11.0.A.3.28_WE firmware...
Do this have to be rooted on 11.0.A.7.5 firmware?
Also I have tried to do it via manuel.
I was install CWM and enter it wiped device, but CWM can't find zip file to install or update.
I was copied with both names "blablablaFXP209.zip" and "update.zip"...
Then CWM is freezed and my device stucked at black screen.
After that I have installed 11.0.A.3.28_WE firmware again and rooted it...
What should I do now?
Do I have to unlock bootloader again?
1 more thing to ask...
I have a Xperia ArcS too, can I change the IMEI...
Thanks who all helped...

There is misunderstanding.
I do all the prepares successfully, but I can't flash the FXP...
Cause I can't flash the "boot.img"...
There is always says "Device must be rooted! Are you root..."

2.Copy update on phone

b. power off device
c. press volume up (2012 devices) / menu (2011 devices)
d. plug usb and blue led will be lit
e. on computer type in same folder where you have boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
!!! you have to have fastboot.exe in same folder !!!
4.Boot into recovery
while FXP logo is displayed (and lights are lit) press several times volume up to enter CWM (recovery)
5.Flash ROM
to update main rom select
a.Install zip from sdcard
b.choose zip from sdcard
c.select your update (copied at step 2)
to flash gapps redo steps a-c and select gapps package

!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recomended to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
is not recomended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise
8.reboot and enjoy...

I am stuck in recovery loop!My device is SG young gt s6312
I have attached a link to a Zip file,download the file and put that on external sd card using card reader and then flash it via your recovery. Another recovery appears, then in that recovery, Click on reboot system now. hope this works, if it doesn't, I am afraid you will have to go the hard way and flash stock ROM via odin. don't worry, flashing stock ROM won't erase ur files or Settings.

i just found this
Open source archive for build 18.3.A.0.31, 18.3.B.0.31, and 18.3.C.0.37
sorry if im in the wrong thread
hope we find another way to root without unlock bootloader
Hello,
1st.: while starting this new thread, I looked through the automaticly generated similar threads and found non that was suiting my problem.
Last night I unlocked the bootloader of my wifes Xperia L (C2105) and got stuck into an boot loop. After this I had the need to flash an original rom (4.1.2). This results in an total wipe of the phone :crying:
Now the phone has an unlocked bootloader and an old Android Version. I want to install the pacman rom 4.4.4. I know i have to use cwm or twrp to do this, but do I need to root the device?
I'm a little bit confused. I thought installing the *.img-File from TWRP, with the folloing command, will get me the recovery option an with this option
Code:
c:\fastboot\Fastboot.exe flash boot C:\fastboot\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img
Can anyone help me out?
My wife is not upset, but with the boot loop from last night in my mind, I'm quit unsure what to do next.
many thanks in advanced
Felix
you need to root the device and use flashtool by androxyde(Easier and user friendly), first download the rom and put it in internal/external memory and then install thunderzap 4.12 by select bootkk.img and install it in fastboot mode in flashtool, now enter the recovery go into wipe and format options and choose clean to install a new ROM and then flash the pac rom and reboot
Root isn't necessary.
Download PAC ROM, Take boot.img inside the zip.
Flash boot.img via fastboot.
Boot into recovery, wipe data / factory reset.
Flash ROM and GApps.
That's it
NOP, you dont need to root to install a custom rom

you can download the rom, extract it and keep, boot.img file, in fastboot folder, and also keep the downloaded rom zip file in sd card for later use.
than you can use use fastboot commands to flash those boot.img which will install the recovery into your phone, than .
use reboot command in fastboot, it will reboot your phone, take out your cable, using volume up key go to recovery,
there clear all the cache and delvik cache file, then, install your custom rom by selecting from your sd card, it will take a bit of time for first time, so don't worry,
than you are done,
