1) Open flashtool==> press flash button==> select the ROM/kernel you want to flash;
2)switch off your phone(pls switch on your debugging ) => hold "back button"==> plug in USB cable to your phone
3) Flash
4) After flashing ==> unplug USB cable ===> restart your phone
DONE
Alternatively ( some custom ROMS required unlock boatloader and installation of custom kernel, where flashtool is required)
1) root your phone
2) install xrecovery/ CWM to your phone
3) Copy the custom ROMs to the root of your SD card
4) restart phone into xrecovery/ CWM mode and select install "custom-rom.zip" from sdcard
5) select the the zip files to install and run
6) after installing, restart your phone
DONE

I believe in every custom rom thread,there is instruction to flashing their custom rom...did u misread the instruction?
ODIN is only to flash tar.md5 files not zip file

You need CWM to flash custom roms. Stock recovery won't work.

Hi,
For that problem you must use ADB and restore your build.prop file,if you are a noob with sdk,i suggest you to use this app on your windows
easyadbandroid.codeplex.com/releases/view/92008
If you don't like to use adb metods,flash a new ROM.

[SOLVED]Bootloop

Hi,
In my HTC One i've recentely obtained root permissions with this tool.
Then i've installed the Xposed Framework and the Modaco ToolKit.
No problem still now.
Later I've installed the Advanced Power Menu with Reboot Options v4
Can't boot the phone. (See attachment for a screen)
Any ideas?
i had same problem.
1-) Install clockworkmod with on-the-go support
2-) if you have on the go cable( if you dont have it then you cannot use this method), download a rom and copy to a usb flash disk.
3-) plug it to your phone with usb flash disk attached.
4-) boot into recovery
5-) select install zip from sd card, then select install from external sd card ( you have to wait about 30 seconds to phone identify your usb stick)
6-) flash your rom and enjoy!
it worked for me on ARHD 4.2...

No,
ok accessed to bootloader/recovery, there is a way to restore the stock rom?
yes of course you can find the stock rom, but you wiil lose root and may lose your recovery
so you have to do it from scratch... i recommend flashing a custom rom.

DoomKernel hasn't been updated I think. Just flash the FTF again, and then flash the Alivanov's pre-rooted kernel with fastboot and then install CWM. You need unlocked bootloader though.

Get the Flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.io/
Download a FTF from the Developer section which is for c5303 and of the version 245.
Then hit the lighting icon on Flashtool
Select Flashmode.
Select the FTF (which has to be in the firmwares directory of the Flashtool)
Let it prepare the files
Hold the volume down button and connect phone to PC
Hopefully it will get detected.
Then just follow instructions and let it complete everything.
Let me know what happens
Cheers.
