Root Some Help Please

Ok so i have already rooted and installed a custom recovery and tried multiple roms but i cant seem to install them correctly, im not a total n00b at flashing i have done it many times before on previous phones, my problem is that when i install a rom sometimes it sticks at the samsung screen, and others it sticks at the SCH-R720 screen the times the roms pass through the boot process i get multiple FCs on system apps and therefore i cant use it so i restore my stock backup, one of the roms that i have gotten to work for a while was the Lunar-gen and i really liked the whole ui of it, does anyone know what could be causing my phone to not take the roms, i follow the steps down to the letter for installations and still cant get it.
 
have you used the correct version of CWM in the first place. stock based roms are with CWM 5.0.2.7 and overclock roms are with CWM 5.0.2.7. second have you wiped everything correctly?? factory reset, format system, (even though a factory reset takes care of this format cache and data, just to be safe) if you have done that then you have nothing to worry. the first boot after flashing always takes a couples of minutes so just let it sit
