Hello, I want to install pacman rom on my xperia z, I have a doubt. In the instructions it says:
* Download the ROM and GApps
* Reboot to recovery
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Flash the ROM and then GAapps
* Reboot your phone
* Enjoy
I have flashed other roms, and the boot.img needs to be extracted and flashed first, that's what i think should be the process, my Q is, Am I right? Extract the boot.img and flashed?

I've seen a handful of posts here about deodexed stock ROMs, but I haven't seen a ROM deodexer itself. Thus, here is a tool that deodexes your ROM after flashing your firmware. Tested on 15.3.A.1.17.
Wipe /data (optional, but recommended)
Flash the ZIP through recovery
Wipe the cache and the dalvik cache
Reboot
Cheers!

stock rom
we should be running the stock rom to flash this
It happens to all of us. You're flashing something and you end up messing up. You forgot to do a wipe, or the file is not compatible with your device. Now you're stuck with a device that can only boot up into recovery. Your phone is now soft bricked. Here's how to un-soft brick(is that even correct?) your device.
Requirements:
- Running latest TWRP recovery
Downloads:
GApps
Open GApps (68 mb) [Download]
Note: You can use your preferred GApps if you want to. This is the Open GApps Pico Pack.

Procedure:
- Download the right ROM file for your device and the GApps.
- Boot into recovery.
Press Power+Volume Down Buttons for three seconds. Release and press the volume down button once and the volume up button once.- Wipe the system, data and cache partitions.
Press Wipe. Press Advanced Wipe. Select the partitions. Swipe to wipe.- Using MTP or ADB Sideload, transfer the downloaded files to the phone.
If you don't know what that means, just copy the files and paste it onto your phone using the computer.- Flash the ROM zip you just downloaded.
Press Install. Locate the file in the manager that is shown. Select it. Swipe to flash.- When flashing is done, wipe cache and dalvik.
- Flash the GApps zip you just downloaded.
Press Install. Locate the file in the manager that is shown. Select it. Swipe to flash.- When flashing is done, wipe cache and dalvik.
- Reboot.
Your phone should reboot and now be running stock Moto Android. After this, you can go on and flash the intended ROM/kernel but do it right this time. If not, come back to this. I tried to make this guide as concise as possible. Please let me know if you need any help.
Hi, I've read many guides on how to flash stock roms and stuff, but I'm still not sure how to do it in my case.
I bought an XT1040 from a guy and it came with bootloader unlocked and Lollipop 5.0.2 (CM 12-20150126-NIGHTLY-peregrine)
I wanted to install the stock LP rom, but then I found an optimized version on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 I think that would be better, but the problem is I'm following this guide to install a stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 but it says you have to flash every file, one by one, yet this .zip I downloaded (Retail Latin America 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.0a (331mb)) only has a "boot.img" and some folders named "supersu", "system" and "META-INF". Does that mean I have to flash the whole ZIP in the recovery? (oh and btw I installed TWRP v2.8.7 [recoverytwrp2-8-7encryption.img] using adb, I didn't wipe the other recovery with "fastboot erase recovery" because this had CWM already installed... is that okay?)
What should I do?
In short:
I have a bootloader unlocked phone with Lollipop 5.0.2 (CM 12-20150126-NIGHTLY-peregrine) and CWM
I flashed TWRP v2.8.7 without wiping recovery (at least I think that's what "fastboot erase recovery" does)
I want to flash a stock rom (optimized) with LP 5.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816 (Retail Latin America 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.0a (331mb)) but I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks.

I just decided to do what the guide said:
1) Boot into latest TWRP and Format Data (Wipe > Format DATA > Yes) - This step is essential, and will wipe Internal Storage (Downloads, Music, Photos etc, **backup important files**)
2) Transfer ROM to SDCARD or Internal Storage. This may be done in Windows via MTP, or using adb sideload or adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
3) TWRP > Wipe > Factory reset and flash ROM.
4) Reboot.
5) Call / WiFi issues can be solved by flashing 5.1 Radio Firmware (Below) for your Model.
now I'm in the step 3, trying to flash the ROM but the bar doesn't fill at all...
_________________________________________
Lol that was me panicking, the device managed to flash the ROM and it's working now, I also flashed the radio firmware so I have working WiFi, but the screen flickering keeps happening each time I reboot the device.
I'll probably want to downgrade in the future... any tip on that would be appreciated.
You don't need to use Fastboot other than when changing TWRP version. Simply flash the Optimized Stock ROM (or any custom ROM) via TWRP. Screen flickering is caused by not having updated your Bootloader - this utility will do that for you: Bootloader Upgrader Tool.
I highly recommend you try the following optimized Stock Marshmallow ROM: (It's faster than Lollipop)
