If you're having problems in flashing things read this post

Flash the zip normally just like how you flash ROMS (Or specially if you want)
If flashing takes only seconds its an error, flashing ROMS must take atleast 5secs

If you are facing any FC in any part of the ROM try doing a full wipe or Keep Calm and Use Odin
