No, flash ROM from custom recovery first, then the boot.img from fastboot. Use a custom, not stock, recovery (CWM, 4ext, or TWRP).

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What recoveries have you tried to flash? How have you tried to flash them? How are you trying to flash the ROM? What is "cyan," ClockworkMod (CWM) or CyanogenMod (CM)? What is a "stock recovery .boot img"? You can't flash anything from the stock recovery. You can't flash the stock ROM's boot.img with a custom ROM. Recoveries do not have boot.imgs that you need to worry about. I am saying that you need to have a custom recovery, like CWM, 4ext, or TWRP, installed. You do that through "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." You then need to download a ROM zip, boot into recovery with power and volume-down, factory reset, and install the ROM. You then need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip you just flashed and flash it from the computer with "fastboot flash boot boot.img."

I recently installed CWM after unlocking my bootloader. But realized after that every ROM requires different recovery (boot.img in the roms). But to install custom ROM you have to flash boot.img and that's what I did with the help of flashtool, but after when I'm trying to boot into recovery it's not even starting! let alone booting into recovery! , I think I bricked my phone guys! How to solve it? Please help!
I tried flashing stock firmware ftf with flashtool, and it worked! Now my phone is back stock 4.1.2.
But still one doubt how did flashing boot.img that came with flashtool soft bricked my phone? did I do something wrong? Also that boot.img was of CM 12 that i was installing at that time. Was that because I flashed boot.img even after having CWM installed prior?
Did you flash the rom from 4.3?
*blink*
Ya, I flashed the CM 12 on 4.3. But when I flashed the kernel i.e. boot.img supplied by the this zip-- ( CM11 unofficial FXP-cm-12-20150203-UNOFFICIAL-z3c_2) zip my phone bricked. I think there was something wrong with the zip, Cos today I flashed new cm-12-20150209-NIGHTLY build and it worked!
Can we change the kernel from Cynogen recovery to CWM ? and can CM 12 work with CWM?

Try fotakernel, use either cwm or twrp, they are permanent (until you flash the original fotakernel)
I just noticed a few things. The stock based roms are using the Dual Recovery in their rom, but CM based roms, like Resurrection Remix, uses Cyanogen Recovery.
So when I flash RR, it automatically replaces my recoveries with the Cyanogen Recovery.
Is there any way to avoid that? Or is there any way I can flash my Duel Recovery back after installing RR?

It's not all cm-based ROMs that use cm recovery. Each ROM is different. It's discussed in the RR thread, and it's in the 2nd post that cm recovery is built in to that ROM. There's links there for other recovery options. I like to always have Rashr on hand to easily flash IMGs, so I can access my backups from other recoveries. Dual recovery is just not going to work on every ROM.

Okay so here is what I did:
I flashed latest RR rom
This of course, overwrote my TWRP recovery so right now I have Cyanogen recovery.
Now I flash with Flashtool, the FOTA TWRP recovery which you pointed me at.
Device does not boot
I flash CM kernel from the multirom thread, which gives me acces to the previously flashed FOTA recovery BUT!
Device boots, Stuck at boot
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I tried flashing recovery with Rashr, it does nothing.

I haven't used RR since 1st build, but I know it's been addressed in the thread. I would be glad to try it out to help. Meanwhile, I would try to flash twrp with fastboot, (you said you used Flashtool - maybe the same, but worth a try), and also try flashing M5, (which you need recovery to do, but you could use a temp. boot.img to get into recovery, then flash M5), which may work better with recovery. There's also Nut's PC installer. And search the RR thread.
I'll attach a copy of twrp 2.8.7.0 to try. Hope this helps.
(File too big to attach. Let me know if you want it and I'll send a link)

You can't because CyanogenMod uses its own Recovery based of CWM ( I think? ). You could try however, using a custom kernel that has its own Dual recovery ( for e.g. PhilzTouch and TWRP )

I just remembered something else. See my post here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62114382&postcount=534 - latest version of Rashr doesn't seem to work on some ROMs. Try this one...
Edit - I just successfully flashed twrp 2.8.7.0 on latest RR using Rashr. Make sure to use this version, not the latest Play Store.
Okay so I tried what @levone1 said. I installed that Rashr which you uploaded. I tried flashing the recovery with this, and it worked! Thank you very much guys for your help!
hey thanks to levone1 i got twrp running on crDroid rom.:good::good::good:
i did it like he said: Use his Version of rashr and flash his twrp. done!
i tried to flash custom rom but it failed i need to restore the stock recovery.
the problem is that my phone has a problem in mini usb it doesnt work when i connect it to pc
is there a way to flash rom or recovery without pc
If you have a working custom recovery, you can try to convert the stock recovery to a zip and flash it that way. If you have a working ROM, you can try to use adb commands to push the recovery to the phone.
BTW, this is not the correct forum for your phone.

i dont have one i searched for one but i havnt find yet
if u can help me to find one and give me the instructions how to flash it
considering that usb socket doesnt work i cant connect it to computer
You can download the stock rom from sammobile.com, extract the recovery, convert to zip, and flash in recovery.
If flashing a rom failed, flashing stock recovery is not going to help because you need to flash a stock rom.
Did you search in the ace forum?

You would need a working custom recovery. You can put a rom into an sd card and flash in from custom recovery.
I have my phone unlocked bootloader, s-off as it shows in the pick, then went to root using twrp with multpile supersu versions and non of them work, all 3 I tried even after full wipes over and over again keep booting me into the HTC logo screen non stop. Any advice?
Flash a custom rom for ex. Viper or maximus hd. If you full wipe you have no os installed. Flash a rom via twrp. Roms are already rooted

Flash latest twrp. Copy rom file to sdcard. Then flash it via recovery. Download a rom
The recovery images all over this site seem really sketchy, but roms often come with great recovery and updates. I can flash the rom's boot.img during the update, but I also see that fastboot has a flash to recovery option. Is it OK to flash the boot.img to recovery or do I have to somehow extract recovery out of the boot.img? If I do a flash to recovery does that make TWRP permanent or can it still be overwritten by flashing new roms?

Get twrp from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/twrp-3-0-1-amami-t3350827 and flash with Rash for non-stock roms. For stock roms, net's xzdr is best - http://nut.xperia-files.com/
If a rom has a recovery included, it will probably overwrite your recovery. For best staying power, make sure you use real recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ral/bootloader-devices-real-recovery-t3117568 but even then you might still have to reflash your img, depending on the rom you install.

Thank you so much. I had the latest TWRP from the AICP rom but it was within the boot image and I couldn't seem to find a plain TWRP image that wasn't on some sketchy thread.
Also I was unaware that my firmware was out of date. When I was installing a rom I saw a number that related to the latest firmware so I assumed I had it. I was confused why using flashboot to flash to recovery wasn't working. It looks like the recovery image was always within the boot image and was getting wiped out with roms that didn't include a recovery image in there (AH HEM PARANOID ANDROID). It seems that I was able to flash the img to the special recovery now and I don't think it's getting wiped out. Thanks very much.
