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

Use the stock .ftf to flash the kernel.

If you are on official rom. Just flash the kernel part using flashtool. Use flash mode.

[APK] Flash Gordon, Flash Zips without recovery

Flash Gordon​
Flash Zips without a recovery​
This is not my work, I am just sharing it since it is an app worth to install
What is Flash Gordon? ​Flash Gordon is an Android App ( Apk ) that allows you to flash zips without recovery, In simpler terms you can flash those zips you want to install without CWM or TWRP​
Important Note​Since this is just an early development stage of the app, Flash Gordon cannot be used to flash ROMs yet since certain system files crash the phones when they are replaced while the phone is on​
Requirements​- A rooted phone​
Installation​Just install the apk
How do you use flash Gordon
1) Scroll up and choose select zip
2) After that if the zip requires you to wipe anything just check those boxes but if not press flash now
3) Make sure that the zip you are gonna flash has no spaces on the name or periods comma an TM signs otherwise it won't work​
Disclaimer​Use at your own risk, I will not be held responsible for bricked devices or the like​
Downloads​Flash Gordon.apk: http://d-h.st/VIw​
Please hit thanks if it works​

It works perfectly fine for me, it seems as though you've got a corrupted download. Try re-downloading the item and trying again.

Is you phone fully rooted? If not it might not work. The mod also works for me which means that there is nothing wrong with the mod but there is something wrong with your device.

..or how the phone is rooted!

Yep true forgot to mention that and sometimes Flash Gordon doesn't recognize files if the file's name has symbols in it, I had the same problem with flashing a another file so I removed the symbols init such as full stop,dash etc, it worked.

If your phone is DEODEXED then go for it otherwise don't flash SystemUI as it will crash it and get you in bootloop.

Dude I don't think it's a good idea to flash a custom kernel on a locked bootloader + I think you cannot install custom kernel on locked bootloader.

I'm unable to flash xposed-arm-20150308.zip in CM12

Recovery replaced

Every time I flash cyanogenmod 12.1 on my device, xperia M C1904, I loose my custom recovery, i.e., CWM or TWRP and get reverted back to Cyanogen Recovery and I say to you that this recovery is bad, literally very bad. Nothing ever works with this recovery.
The command am using to flash recovery is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fota recovery not use that command, if you flash boot.img (kernel with recovery). Your kernel will always be replace it with any recovery depend on ROM that you flash it, try to see FOTA with dd if command.
