There are a few reasons why can't some people out there just go and install a custom ROM, here are a few:
1. You are not rooted
This should be clear, you have to have root, I can't even see a way of installing a custom ROM without root. You can search for a guide on XDA Devs to help you.
2. You flashed your ROM the wrong way
Even though there are a few ways of flashing a ROM, only some of them are correct. You can't use Flashify for a ROM, trust me you'll only get into trouble. You can't and you should not try to flash a ROM through Odin, remember, Odin is only used to flash Stock ROMS, yes, you can maybe flash a ROM trought Odin if you knew how to convert your ROM to system images and then pack it up to a .tar.md5 file.
3. Your ROM zip may be corrupted
Double check if your ROM zip is the right size and check if you can open it via WinRAR or 7Zip.
4. You flashed a ROM for a wrong model
With Samsung devices, there will be the F, the I, the A and all the others. If you have an F and flash a ROM for an A, your device will not work. Also, some people don't see the 5 in SM-G925 although they have a G920, so their ROM will work fine, but the touch sides will be inverted.
5. Your proccessor isn't compatibile
I don't know if this is true, but my friend now lives in America, so he has a Galaxy S6 Snapdragon model and I have a Exynos model. This could be a potential problem, but I don't really think.
