1)BOOT TO RECOVERY
2)MAKE A BACKUP
3)WIPE data,system,cache,dalvik cache
4)FLASH THE ROM's zip file
5)reboot to bootloader fastboot and flash boot.img in the ROM's zip file using the command ,"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
6)reboot system
will this work for the ROM menstioned above?
thanks for help......
Yes, normal flash procedure is the right way.

Hi.
I've got a problem. In all of the tutorials I read about how to flash ROM:s, it says that I have to flash boot.img through fastboot, then enter recovery and flash the ROM. I can not do this. When I flash the boot.img, I can not enter recovery or anything, I get stuck in a bootloop and have to restore through flashtool. When I flashed Taylor_Swift's 4.3 ROM, I flashed the ROM first and then the boot.img, it worked, I got up and running, but after that I couldn't enter recovery and therefore not obtain root access, making the ROM almost useless because the lack of the Battery Calibration app. Now I want to flash the PAC ROM, but I'm not sure how to do with the boot.img part. If it's relevant I have the lockeddualrecovery as my recovery.
Help please

No special order, really, as long as the kernel (boot.img) is fully compatible with the rom.
I'd flash PAC boot.img first though. Flash boot.img, then enter recovery and flash the zip containing the rom information.
Usually you should flash the boot.img that came inside the rom's zip and it should have a recovery,than you will have to install the rom from the recovery.
Don't forget to factory reset/wipe data inside the recovery.

i rooted my phone and backed AT up, then in unloked the BL
now i thought i just install a custom recovery as i did in my DHD to flash roms but it seems they are all just for loked BL
and if they are not you can only flash stock roms??
so how do i for example flash carbon rom on my xperia z? do i use the flash tool and flash the rom the same way i flashed the 423 kernel to root?
and does anybody know where i can get carbon 1.7 the link is broken
For unlocked bootloaders the recovery is part of the custom kernal. So fastboot the kernal IMG contained in the rom zip. Reboot and press volume up and you will boot to recovery. Once in recovery do all wipes and flash the ROM....simple

The fastboot command, for flashing boot.img files is:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I know last time I tried flashing a 4.4 ROM I would get some error because of some weird compatibility thing with CWM or TWRP or something like that. I don't remember which recovery it was that I needed that would let me flash, I'm trying to flash beanstalk
You should flash the boot.img from the rom zip using fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the rom.
I would advise doing a lot more research of how to flash custom roms and how to fix potential problems before continuing on any further as it will save you time in the future in case of any problems.

extract from the zip file boot.img
flash it through fastboot , reboot your phone and go to recovery and then flash the rom
I Read This Guide:
HOW TO INSTALL:
Download ROM and firmware for your version hBoot (1.02* or 1.03*)
Copy ROM on SD-card
Copy firmware on ADB folder and rename to "firmware.zip"
Flash CWM recovery for you hBoot (1.02 or 1.03)
Make full wipe (data, cache, system, dalvik cache)
Install *.zip from SD-card
Connect your device on PC
Run ADB and reboot on bootloader
Entering next command:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
Done!
Guys you can get some clarification on the points of the guide?
1. How do I know which version of hboot has my phone?
2. where can I download CWM recovery for my HBOOT?
3. how do I install CWM recovery?
3. how can i reboot on bootloader?
4. the commands I need to enter them all together and give you enter?

If you think it's a software problem, so make factory reset. If that does not work, send the complaint.
I tryed factory reset but it not resolve
Hi, its 11:30 and i give up!
ok i first installed cwm using the kernel, and falshed SuperSU and than wiped data and cache and dalvik and flashed resRemix so i can reboot again and flash cwm, the problem is when i flash reRemix it goes to rom but also replaces the recovery with cyanogenmod one which doens't have any flashh zip and if i re flash the kernel with fastboot it will get stuck in sony logo reboot !
if i install both without booting to rom first it will reboot in middle of setup(first time setup name etc always at activating cellular)
this time i don't know what happened but it also freezed and rebooted on the bare-rom, but it worked before that (i assume i was tired and did something wrong)
what should i do?!

Flash other kernel with flashtools, entry in recovery wipe cache davilk cache and data/factory reset, flash the rom with recovery and the boot.img with flashtools.
Sorry for my bad english

Boot.img is the kernel, you have to flashing him because the latest version of this rom is for unlocked bootloader
