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

Tutorial -How to unbrick Lenovo Vibe Z K910 with 2 sim cards

This is how i unbricked my Lenovo K910 (chinese version with 2 sim cards)
I was acidentally wipe everything,
by everything i mean on dalvik cashe, system, internal storage, data and cashe.
and after that phone was empty and stuck on lenovo logo and blue light, bootloader was locked, recovery and twrp recovery was erased....
If i hit power power for 10 seconds and more, lenovo k910 turns off...again i hit power and lenovo logo is on screen , and blue light, and i cant acess recovery, because it is erased.
Whole one day I tried everything what i find on lenovo forum, xda devolepers...etc, but nothing didnt work for me.
Basically i did it with instruction from firts 3 pages on this theme, but with modified twrp recovery, every time i try with diferent recovery, mostly i was trying with cwm recovery and 2.7 twrp but i was unable to boot into recovery mode.
This is how i did it,
1.Download this:
minimal adb fastboot v1.3.1 http://www.mediafire.com/download/q77gkew59y1kbwk/minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup.rar
modified twrp recovery 2.8.1 i find it on somewhere on xda..i can't remember where http://www.mediafire.com/download/ul6751ndjc05ujl/recovery.rar
download custom rom that you wont to install, i use a baralajbi rom from needrom v13.
2. Install minimal adb fastboot v1.3.1
3.In directory where you install minimal adb fastboot v1.3.1, copy recovery from step 1 and custom rom that you downloaded from step 1.
4. Remove Usb data cable from phone and turn off your Lenovo K910 by pushing power button for 10 and more seconds, untill your screen is dark and without, blue, green , and red lights on.
5.Run minimal adb fastboot v1.3.1 as administrator, and write this fastboot boot recovery.img but dont hit enter.
6.Now push both volume keys (volume up + volume down) and connect the usb cable. After vibration hit enter in cmd.
7.After a few seconds your phone will boot in recovery.You will see 2.8.1 twrp recovery on yor phone, and on computer my is windows 7 it will open 12 gb partition from phone, wait if computer neds to download drivers for phone.
8.If you are erease everything like i did, in that 12 gb partition it will be only twrp folder and nothing else.
Copy rom that you downloaded from step 1 in that 12 gb partition.(not in that twrp folder)
9.In twrp recovery on your phone hit Install, and you will see a lot of folders , i cant rememeber where it was copied my custom rom from step 1.
but it is not so dificult, open every folder on twrp recovery untill you find your rom, chose it, and swipe to install
10.After install complete and reboot your system. You're done
11. dont use " adb sideload " command it will result in error: device not found
12. If you got some problem with windows while download drivers for you phone, you can manually download lenovo usb drivers, you will fin them on almost every custom rom for k910 on needrom.
I only register on this forum, to write this, a lot of things I have read here has helped me, so I have an obligation to help someone else.
I wish you good luck.

Not getting into recovery

I'm not able to get into recovery.
After doing something stupid on my phone, i wanted to flash a new rom (crDroid). But the recovery gave an error 7. So i wanted to flash the recovery from the thread. I wasn't near a pc so i downloaded an app called Rashr to flash the recovery.img. But then my phone wouldn't boot or get into recovery.
So i used the official flashtool from sony to flash the official software to reset my phone and now my phone works again, but i still wanted crDroid. I downloaded a permissive kernel from zach and installed it through fastboot. I also installed the recovery through fastboot but when i booted, no yellow light came up and holding the volume up button wouldn't work as well.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Also fastboot boot recovery.img results in the phone being stuck at the sony logo

When you have recovery installed in FOTA partition, you can enter it by holding VOL DOWN + Power button while the phone is off.
The way you described only applies when recovery is installed in boot partition.

This only works with 100% reliability after flashing at least .160 Nougat firmware via FTF (XperiFirm),
then flashing twrp/recovery via
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and the behavior varies from country to country (or even firmware to firmware, among network operators / giving the name "custom firmware" credit :silly.
This time [2nd flash of .160 firmware, different operator] the notification led lights up violet for me, previously it was something else (a form of red, orange) and recovery almost instantly booted up,
now it takes several seconds - if not 30 seconds until it's in TWRP.

Okay so i'm on 34.4.A.0.160. I flashed some different recovery images by now but still no change in the situation. I did al the recovery flashing using the 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' code and fastboot gave no errors and it looked like it works everytime. But when i boot there is no led light during the entire boot sequence.
Also booting to recovery with volume down + power button when phone is off, didn't work. It just boots normal. I tried it serveral times and every time i changed some things, like pressing the volume button or power button for a longer time. Also once again, here no led indicators appear....
My led light is not broken as it still lights up when i get a message.

I installed a old lolipop firmware through flashtool, installed the Androplus permissive kernel and recovery, also from Androplus, through fastboot. Now when the phone boots it gets a yellow led indicator. When pressing volume up during the indicator, the light turn orange but the phone does not boot into recovery, but instead reboot itself.
Once again, no idea what is happening. Fastboot is working fine or i would not be able to flash the permissive kernel and get a yellow led light. But why won't my phone boot to recovery? I tried multiple different variants of twrp by different people. Tried multiple firmwares. I think there is something wrong with the partition where the recovery is stored. Is this possible? And if so, how would i fix it?

*i think it is against the rules, but here is a BUMP*
No one any idea ? I can't flash anything without recovery

Same here

I had a similar experience. What worked for me was
"fastboot erase recovery" before fastboot flash recovery etc.
Might work.

Wow - folks there you have your answer - but no one seems to care or read it:

well, I flash twrp to the recovery partition (FOTA huh ?)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
after both steps were [OK]
you can disconnect the cable (= phone off)
Now press VOL DOWN + POWER at the same time,
wait for the Sony logo/screen to appear,
wait 1-3 seconds and release the POWER button - keep the VOL DOWN button pressed [probably can release ALL but still ...]
the phone should boot into TWRP/recovery after quite some time

Just boot the recovery:
$ fastboot boot twrp.img

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.
