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."

Thanks so much for this - I have looked at the how to install the rom but can i ask one question? I tried to install the custom recovery in TWRP which found the device but when installing it ran the TWRP 2.6 and not 2.7.0.1 and when i tried to reboot in recovery i got a bootloop so had to reflash the stock rom. I am not sure if this caused the bootloop but because I dont want to make the same mistake again so can you step me through how to get the recovery ready prior to Intalling the rom in twrp??
first you must be on the 4.4.2 bootloader to flash this rom (flash P605XXUCNE2 with odin) 2 :make a fullwipe 3: flash TWRP 2.7.0.1(LTE) with odin 4: flash xKat v3.1 .The end
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 flashed agat recovery 0.2.2 and i tried to install cm 11 on my phone but i got a error 7 and i dont know what i am doing wrong.
You will need to install cm10 BEFORE installing cm11 because you need cwm recovery to flash cm11 and cwm recovery is in cm10.
This one should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238252
Don't bother flashing gapps or other zips, just flash the rom then boot into cwm recovery do a full wipe and flash cm11.
Short question, I'd like to know if flashing the stock rom of the xperia S deletes the custom recovery ? I had installed twrp recovery but after flashing will I still have it?
