Xperia miro cwm problem

have problem with cwm 6.0.1.2, error in sd card, i rooted phone, unlocked bootloader, everything is almost ok, was using this tutorial :
------------------------------------------
Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip

everything is ok until i type fastboot reboot, then phone goes dead, no next line ("---- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+", --- )i cant get to this, because phone is dead, and had to flash kernel again with flashtool to revive phone to original firmware, i tryed that 3 times , same thing happend again and again, phone goes soft bricked for third time, i get no violet led for 3 seconds, help
EDIT : I DID NOT LOOK AND DOWNLOADED WRONG CM10, I INSTALLED PROPER ONE AND PHONE NOW WORKS, IT WAS TOUGH NIGHT

flashing custom roms soft bricks everytime

Hello... I have an xperia j, that is fully updated running .31 fw. I followed this link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183737 to successfully root the phone. I then decided to try and install a custom rom. The steps I took are as follows;
1. download .zip rom and transfer to sd card (I tried all of the first 4 from this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237164 )
2. Open flashtool and flash the CWM boot.img (This worked fine)
3. Start phone in CWM (This worked fine)
4. wipe and factory reset the phone in CWM (This worked fine)
5. Install rom zip from external sdcard (This worked fine)
6. when it says it is successful, reboot phone, remove battery, put back in and turn on.
Every time, the phone vibrates to show it is powered up, but the screen remains black. The only difference was the aokp rom. This rom blinked the notification light at me red, and for a split second displayed a giant battery on the screen at boot, then the screen went blank.
Am I being stupid and missing a vital step?

I don't own an Xperia J myself but with CM10 based ROM's you have to flash a custom kernel for it to run. All 4 of the ROM's you tried need custom kernels. You NEED to read the install instructions given in the installation process of the ROM or else you will end up bricking your phone. You don't flash the boot.img from CWM either, you do it through command prompt or flashtool.

You definitely need to flash kernel

ahhh ok... i followed the instruction, for them all, but none ever mentioned flashing a kernel.. I have copy and pasted the instructions for CM10 below. They say to flash the boot.img with flashtool in fastboot to get to CWM. Then just install the zips in CWM. I take it the final stage is missing where I then need to flash the kernel?
Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:
- hold vol+ and plug usb to boot into fastboot (blu led)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (from cm10 zip)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip
- flash gapps zip
- wipe
- reboot

Xperia L custom ROM can't install

Hi
I have rooted and unlock boat loader for my phone C2105 at 15.3.1.A.14
Installed thunderzap as per guide "http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-to-running-android-lollipop-t3041413" however when I install zip (pa_taoshan-5.1-20150822.zip) or cm12.1 , it always hangs after "patching system image unconditionally"........
After this nothing happens and have to take battery off which makes phone soft bricked (does not go beyond SONY or in case of thunderzap stucks on its logo) and I have to flash ftf using flashtool.
This has happened repeatedly with cwm, twrp (installed using Recovery-Installer-1.8-XL).
Plz help!

download ThunderZap-4.1.zip. Extract the zip file take bootjbcwm.img. put your mobile to fastboot mode. power off ur mobile & connect ur mobile to pc while pressing volume up key. open flash tool click thunder icon(in top of the left side) click fastboot mode select extracted bootjbcwm.img. wait for 5 sec. unplug cable & power on ur mobile boot into recovery mode with pressing vom up key wipe data,cache, dalvik cache, install the rom wait for 5 to 10 min. reboot system
If it is still hangs at patching system image unconditionally may be the downloaded file was currupted.

[HELP!][URGENT!!] Cannot connect the device in Flashmode

Okay, I've got a weird problem here. I was on Stock rom and thought of flashing a CM 12.1 because the nightlies are more stable now than their previous versions. The recoveries get replaced by CM recovery when we flash cm rom, so i thought of using the new method i.e flashing a FOTAKernel + recovery so that the recovery would stay even after flashing new roms. I flashed philz recovery in that way (forgot to backup original stock FOTAKernel). Now when I boot the system, i get two recoveries! If you press vol - on first led blink while boot, it goes into twrp. When you press vol - while second led blink, it goes into philz. I think i screwed up somewhere, but the device doesn't connect in Flashmode anymore. Whenever I try connecting usb while holding vol - button, the led blinks red and then green and then nothing. Maybe it will connect in flashmode while on CM, so i flashed CM with twrp. Though it has only one recovery, it still doesn't connect in Flashmode! Now i cannot flash a clean rom. I need help and this is urgent! Please help, i am freaking out!!

Sonx Xperia l Taoshan flash fail

I flashed my Taoshan using this instructions :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-alpha-1-t3469162
So I downloaded all and place it on my sd card.Then turn off phone and boot into TWRP recovery.Factory reseted phone and 1st flashed rom.It says 2 times unknown command at the end but it says successful.Then flashed gapps for 7.1 and it says error code 70.So I know that I need to find smaller pack of gapps but I would do that later.Then I flash these all addons and fixes.If I remember correctly only 1 addon did not install.When I want to boot my phone to system it just vibrates and nothing on screen.Only black screen and if I only hold power button it vibrates every 5 seconds.Cant go to recovery or anything.I get my phone working back by connecting it with pc and sony companion program.Anyone know where I made mystake or any alternative roms to flash ? Also I cannot flash twrp on phone but I will success once.
