Recovery mode unable to unpack custon ROM .zip files

hello,
i have been unable to install custom ROMs on my galaxy s2, various forums indicate the installation took place but in my own case the installation process stops when ever the kernel is trying to unpack the .zip file in order to commence installation. i have followed the step by step procedures of the devs but still havent been able to. especially resurrection and batista. are there any prerequisites i need to follow. i am currently using a rooted SGS2, kernel cf-root 5.2, stockROM XXLPH 4.0.3. thnks much.
i am not an expert when it comes to resurrection or batista, but i believe that some newer roms need at least the cwm recovery that comes with cf-root 5.4 or above, so maybe you should flash a newer stock rom with a corresponding newer cf-root to begin flashing.
or, if you want, you could flash the latest siyah kernel through odin, which is compatible with both stock and aosp/aokp roms and have a nice new touch recovery that is certainly able to flash all roms as well.
also, a problem is also a question and this thread belongs in the q&a section. reported. this time someone will move it for you, in the future, please post in the correct section in the first place, for reference have a look at the thread Questions belong in Q&A.
thank you for the response. kindly advice on what stable stock roms i could try. cus i believe i have also tried with a 5.3 but still same.
just also tried the F1 nexus rom still same. maybe i need to take the S2 back to factory, like repartitioning and all, pls what do you advice cus i think something behind has been messed up.
i also noticed something, when i flash with a stock ROM, the fone reboots into the android sytem recovery and i get an error "dst read(I/0 error)". please what does this mean.
please can someone help , i can only flash ROM's through ODIN, but cannot install zip files through recovery. recovery never unpacks the files and all ROM's come as zip files. please help

Noob Questions about ROMS and Kernel

Hello everybody,
I'm fairly new to this, I just Rooted my Galaxy S2 I9100 successfuly using odin,
Can anyone please tell me how to download a ROM and flash kernel?
And What are the most stable ROMS and kernels, please advise.
Thank you.
1) The Stickies have all the information you need.
2) There's no such thing as 'the most stable rom/kernel', everyone has their phone setup differently & uses it differently; your experience with a given rom or kernel will not be the same as anyone else's. Head over to the development sections, read the first page & say the last 10-20 pages of a thread devoted to a given rom or kernel. This will give you an idea of the features, and also other users' recent experiences with the rom/kernel. From there, try a few roms/kernels out for yourself. If you have CWM installed, flashing roms/kernels, backing up & restoring is really quick/easy which makes trying out roms/kernels really quick/easy.

[Q] A Little Help ^_^

Just wanna know how i can extract a custom kernel from custom rom ? in the same way how i can flash it in any other custom rom
my point i tried many roms many kernels , in this time iam using android leak 4.2.2 so no source code for dev's to make custom kernels but there is plenty roms 4.2.2 repacked wanna use 'em with stock
Thanks in advance:victory:
1) Kernel is simply boot.img in zip, which you would know if .....
2) You'd read understanding the basics before rooting (From General > Sticky roll-up thread)
3) Please use descriptive thread titles.
