Steps I use to flash a rom
First I copy the gapps and custom rom zip folder onto sd card

Open Flashtool
Open recovery my phone and wipe and format data,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.

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 you 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

Hi there!
It looks to me that you are missing a few steps there.
First of all enter into Recovery (CWM) and do a Backup so that you can always restore to where you were!
Assuming that you have obviously put the zip on your SD just continue in Recovery.
Scroll down to Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Scroll down to Yes Delete all user data
Scroll down to install zip from SDcard
Choose zip from SDcard
Scroll down to your zip file and install
Well mate according to the developer the Wipe Data/Factory Reset is all you need but see how you go and let me know if it worked for you!
Oh and don't forget to hit Thanks!

I forgot mention all this above..... i've done all this and yet no gain

Hi again...do not worry. Let's add some other steps:
Open Recovery and repeat the Wipe Data/Factory Reset step above and add these steps below:
Wipe Cache Partition
Scroll down to Advanced
Choose Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go back to main menu
Scroll down to and choose Mounts and Storage
Then choose these 3 steps, each at the time, always scrolling down to yes and going back to the same place after each format is completed.
Format /Cache
Format /Data
Format / System
Then do the following steps like Install zip from SDcard, etc.
Now!!! That has to work......lol
Let me know how it went for you. I am assuming you can still get into your CWM right?
Oh and don't forget to hit THANKS.

[Q] I need help with instalation Xperia Ultimate HD

HI!
I have two quesstions. I downloaded Xperia Ultimate HD 3.1 (Beta). I found two guides to install it, but I don't know which i can should use.
I have Xperia Arc S with LOCKED bootloader.
First: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955248
There are some steps, which are skip in "official" guide in UHD thread.
For example: according to Tesla's guide I should:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. go to mounts and storage menu
4. format /system
5. format /data
6. format /cache
7. go back to main menu
8. go to advance menu
9. wipe dalvik cache
10. wipe battery stats
11. go back to main menu
12. choose install zip from sd card and then choose xperia_ultimate_hd_2.0.zip file or xperia ultimate hd 2.0.2.zip
13. After Complete Installation untick "reboot" <-- (NOT reboot device) and press reboot in CWM
14. you are now back in cwm, choose reboot
15. Now your phone should start up after some minutes and you can enjoy your Arc with Ultimate HD™ ROM 2.0
But according to "official" guide I should only:
For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash any Kernel for stock ICS.
For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app
Place ROM on SD-Card
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!
As you cas see in "official" guide aren't steps like: format /cache, wipe dalvik cache, format /data, format /cache.
So, which guide I must use to avoid bootloop? And, can I use Eroot to root my Xperia?
Soooorry for my awful English

Help plssss

Hi there,
I am having Lenovo a6000. I rooted it via King root. Few days back i installed chainfire3d on it. it asked for reboot so i just click yes. . now after reboot my phone went in boot loop. i have twrp recovery installed so i wipe dalvik, cache and system. Also i did factory reset. so i don't have root access and also i don't have my backup of android. So what should i do? I think installing stock ROM will do but is there any other way out of it?

Okay. If you have working TWRP installed the chances of fixing your phone are 98%.
Your system parition is invalid or corrupted. The only way is intalling stock rom and Gapps if you don't have a backup. If you have a backup just restore it.
Here are the steps:
1. Download these files on your computer:
https://userscloud.com/0mz53p05uoy1 - Micro Gapps
https://userscloud.com/vn2vevhp2vd0 - Stock rom
2. Put the files on your phone. Use an USB cable or a micro SD adapter for that.
If you need help with this just ask.
You can put them anywhere (SD card, internal memory), just remember where you put the files.
3. Enter your TWRP recovery.
Go to Wipe > Advenced Wipe
Now select Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data.
Swipe to wipe.
4. Go to main menu of recovery.
Select install.
Now find your Stock rom file and install it.
Select install again.
Now find the Gapps file and install that.
You are done. Set up your phone, install apps you need and then
make sure to make a NANDROID BACKUP!
Anyways you can bookmark this and use it to fix your phone any time.

Strange Bootloop!

I install ResurrectionRemix M v5.7.2 and gapps 6.0 to my phone through TWRP. it was good. But later i decided to install AospExtended-v3.1 . I took the zip file into my USB Removable disk as my phone didn't have any external storage so that i could install it with the help of OTG cable!
I install AospExtended-v3.1 and gapps 7.1 successfully from TWRP recovery . when it is 'done' i tapped on 'Reboot to system'. I don't know why, my phone goes into bootloop though i installed various ROMS in this process but i wasn't face this problem before!
Anyway then i wiped all data and decided to go back to my previous ROM. I Installed ResurrectionRemix M v5.7.2 through TWRP. it was installed successfully and i thought now that looping problem will resolve, but after successful completion of installing ResurrectionRemix M v5.7.2 when i reboot to system there still the bootloop problem!
Then i though i should go back to my STOCK ROM. I download MIUI 6.7.5_5.0_global fastboot ROM and using miflash tool with proper ADB drivers installed i flash my phone. It was again completed successfully, then i thought this time the bootloop problem will resolve! But no! My phone still stuck into bootloop.
whatever installing process(TWRP/Fastboot) i followed, i am unable to solve this Strange bootloop issue! What should I do?

i am also facing this problem,wht i do i cant understand,pls anyone hlp me to take out from this situation

Try these.
1. Boot into twrp
2. Wipe System, Data, dalvik, cache ( Don't wipe system storage )
3. Connect USB disk
4. Copy desired ROM into internal storage using the file manager given in TWRP.
5. Flash ROM locating the zip in internal storage.
6. Wipe Cache/Dalvik.
Your phone should now boot successfully.
