I have unlocked my downloader, rooted and installed cwm. But when trying to flash another Rom it fails. Even after flashing a new kernel first.
I get an error 7 and have to restore with flashtool.
A search seems to recommend updating cwm but I tried by flashing other kernels but it didn't help.

Is it always the same rom you're trying? + if you're bootloader unlocked then fastboot advanced stock kernel and go from there

Different roms. Have advanced stock kernel installed. Didn't fastboot install it but via the cwm.

I'm using latest CWM, always update recovery via rom manager.

Try using TWRP 2.3.3.0 as your recovery system instead, it's more up to date and is reliable. Just flash it through Odin, afterwards, you should be able to install and boot the ROMs perfectly.

If you don't mind switching to TWRP as the guy above said, then I would switch. If you like CWM, then make sure you aren't using the super wipe scripts on CWM versions other than 5.0.X

I just unlocked my boot loader and was wondering how do you install a custom kernel. I have searched for a thread about it but I wanted clear instructions. Also can you tell me what you think is the best kernel and rom combo? (For r800x CDMA)

The only cdma kernel is Doomkernel.

Before flashing a kernel i want to make sure i get everything right so i dont mess up my phone. Do i flash the kernel first or the rom and what is the baseband someone told me you need to flash this as well and if so where do you get it?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Kernal before rom always baseband is your network. Most of the time the roms o.p will have a link to download the baseband which you will flash after you install the rom
So its flash kernal using fastboot install rom using clockwirk mod recovery then turn phone iff enter flashmode and flash baseband should be good to go
P.S FLASHTOOL is your best friend

Order doesn't matter, just phone won't boot if kernel and rom are not same android version, fixable by doing the other steps

I was flashing some cm 9 beta rom with stock recovery and it boots..
but it always recommended to use cmw..It has more option and customization :good:
After I installed TWRP recovery, when I try to flash a new rom the installer says that the rom is not compatible, because it's built for another device. Something like "this is yuga, this rom is compatible with - the xperia zl name -". Do you know how to fix it?

It is. It looks like after installing the recovery the device identify itself as yuga, causing the problem. I don't know if I have to flash another boot or recovery or kernel to fix this.

Do you know if it will harm the stock rom? The recovery I installed was downloaded from ZL's forum.

Not sure. If this was the "Dual recovery" installation, go download the zl version and re-flash...

Bro. You don't need any recovery. Just flash boot.img from the zip using fastboot. You'll have a recovery installed

However rom won't work unless you flash cm based kernel so you need to unlock boot loader anyways

Download pa rom zip. You can find it inside the zip. Just extract a file called boot.img. And flash using fastboot command

It worked! Thank you so much... now I understand that to install a rom, first I need to flash a specific boot to that rom.

Not always. If you are using stock based rom you just need stock kernel. However to use cm based roms you'll need this respective kernel.
