Root Cant flash any roms

Unlocked my phone last night, but im running into problems flashing any JB rom.

Every time I try it starts and finishes in like 5 seconds and says its succcesful and needs to reboot. Once it reboots it just boot loops cause it obviously didnt do it right.

I have tried differant pcs, I've tried using goomanager, every time its the same thing.

Any ideas what IM doing wrong? I got 1 ics rom to work, but that was about it. SO actually no roms seem to be working really. All the same problem, they start flashing and finish instantly.
 
I don't have your device, are you only downloading from goo or are you trying to use direct links from forums as well?

Can you flash via recovery without using a pc?

Checking the md5?

Moved into all things root as well.
 
what is the process you are using?

most commom error if unlocked and s on, is to not flash the boot image,not understanding that recovery cannot install it. roms will not boot with an incompatible kernel.

the procedure should be something like:
-place boot image into adb/fastboot folder
-place rom on "sd card"
-boot to recovery
-make a backup of a good working rom! you may need it
-wipe cache,dalvik cache,data/factory reset
-flash new rom
-use a recovery option to boot to bootloader(or power off,and back on into hboot,then fastboot).
-plug into pc
-flash boot image:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(assuming the boot image to be named "boot.img")
-reboot
fastboot reboot
