I had this trouble when I tried to flash a kitkat rom from 4.2.2
For those who had trouble on flashing new roms :
1. Update to the lastest CWM version
2. Flash bootloader makoz20i from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105983&nocache=1
3. Reboot Bootloader
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash GAPPS
6. Flash newest version of SuperSU
And you're all set
just a minor thing but, just the img name of bootloader is 20i, when u install it says 30i.
I have managed to root, install a custom recovery and unlock the bootloader.

It's been a while since I owned a Sony Xperia help a brother out :good:
Don't flash boot img.Just Do wipes and flash the rom.
4.3 is jellybean(jb)
If you're using stock firmware 4.3 jellybean.. Then you need first to unlock your bootloader then root your phone using towel root or any other root app. after that you can fastboot boot.img or twrp.img to boot to recovery and flash cm13.

You should flash TWRP 3.0.2 with Flashtool (via Fastboot option on Flashtool).
After flashing, power up your phone and boot to twrp.(if the flash was successfull, it boots to the twrp automatically).
Then Wipe system+data+dalvik cache+cache from TWRP.
Flash the CM13, flash Gapps.
Enjoy!
I've xt1068. It is unrooted. So it has unlocked bootloader. It has twrp and I've marshmallow update for my phone in zip format. My phone is not connecting to pc. I've tried so many ways to connect it. So can I directly flash through twrp without rooting? If so how? And if not, can I flash it after rooting? I'm planning to root it using SuperSU zip.
Do you have stock firmware in zip format if you have such file then I think you can't flash it through twrp, you can only flash custom roms and twrp backup via twrp not stock image files

but with samsung, i have no clue
any help plz
With PC
1) Flash TWRP via Odin3
2) Flash Custom rom and opengapps via twrp
3) And finally flash root addon
Without PC
Your phone should be rooted first, then install Flashify app from play store, download twrp image for your phone and you can flash it with Flashify

so mobile odin or flashify (which i'm more familiar) are doing the same. just to flash TWRP and that is it.
after TWRP i just can changing rom from twrp.
okay thank you sir :good::good::good::good:
