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

No Recovery For my Device yet But Got the Rom Via FastBoot

[Q] Rom installation via rom manager bootloops

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

Xperia J - Please Help About Cyanogen Mod 10 FXP209

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...

you have to flash boot.img before the rom
and why did you flashed it if you installed succesfully FXP?
what are you trying to flash?

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..."

and you are trying to do this via fastboot?
IE: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yes, I have used fastboot and Flashtool...
I'm following those steps [From FreeXperia] :
1.Device Unlocking
All info regarding unlocking procedure is on SONY website
2.Copy update on phone
a.copy update
copy update-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip coresponding to your device to sdcard
b.copy GAPPS
due to legal rules gapps are not provided into main rom
google for gapps package and copy on sdcard
3.Flash CM kernel
a. extract boot.img from zip file
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
!!! use gapps version designed for your android version !!!
6.Wipe device
from cm9 device wipe is necessary only at first flash or when you switch cm version
!!! 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...
But every time, stucked on 3rd step....
Always says "Device must be rooted. Are you root?"...

I have tried that one too...
Suspected that and tried "Unlock Bootloader again...
Nope it's not unlocking second time just hangs on in command line.
Also, my problem is happened before that one...

SOLVED
- I have fully wiped the device.
- Updated, then downgraded and rooted.
- Unlocked BootLoader with Key AGAIN...
After that proccess successfuly booted the CM 10...
I hope that info helps someone else too...
Thankls all who interested...

Cannot update bootloader

I am currently using bootloader 10.4.4.25 and cannot install the latest cm 11
And I am using CWR 6.0.4
Can anyone advise how can I update the bootloader so I can install cm11?
Thanks

Download the latest Asus firmware, unzip the file once resulting in another zip.
Copy that zip to your tabet and flash it in CWM (that you have everything you care about backed up off the tablet goes without saying, right?). That will get you onto the latest bootloader but also wipe your custom recovery.
Boot into fastboot, flash a CM11 compatible recovery.
Reboot
Boot into recovery, do a factory wipe and then flash the rom.

Thanks for the advise. I am downoading the latest firmware from ASUS website and will install it.
I am not sure how to flash a CM11 compatible recovery from fastboot. Can you give more details please? Shoudl I follow the root instruction from the ROM post and re-root the machine again?
Thanks in advance

Flash Stock ROM from Custom ROM

Hi Guys,
I have an honor 8 FRD-L09 and i'm on crDroid v.3.7.
Bootloader is unlocked, twrp 3.1.1 as recovery and the phone is rooted.
I want to go back to FRD-L09C432B389 but I don't know how, could you please help me
Thanks

Download the two zip files of B380/B381 then reboot to recovery. First flash the hw zip file then flash the update zip file.
Once done in TWRP go to reboot to recovery. It will now reboot to stock recovery and click factory reset. It should reboot once finished.
