"Fastboot flash boot boot.img" make sure u type boot twice.
Do factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache. Flash rom. Reboot into bootloader. Fastboot flash boot boot.img. reboot phone. Then reboot back into recovery to flash gapps. Should work "

so did you already flash the (right) boot.img via fastboot?

If you haven't, extract the boot.img file from the .zip and place it where you have adb/fastboot (Android SDK). Then boot into bootloader, go into Fastboot, plug phone in for "Fastboot USB" then type the following in command prompt and reboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

ive tried all that boot.img from zip even another one with the download no luck just stuck on boot with that cm9 rom on loop thanks for your help though guys any other suggestions other then just shooting myself in the head??lol

Try flashing Paranoid/AOKP and then flashing back to CM9.

flash older cm9 rom?
this is my first attempt of any ROM for this phone starting with cm9 alpha 13 does anyone recomend maybe installing a older alpha?? maybe alpha 10 cm9?? idk

Try flashing the latest alpha 14. Maybe you got a bad download of alpha 13.

did you solve your problem?
if not & you're not quite shure about flashing the boot.img properly with fastboot I set up a Tutorial yesterday:
[Tutorial] How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot
perhaps this might help you if the above one didn't fix your problems:

I had the same problem. But this worked for me.
wipe all -> flash cm9 14 -> wipe all -> flash gapps -> wipe all -> fastboot flash boot boot.img ( i used the touchfix one ).
then i got in.. but took some time first load. But now i cant get wifi to work and cant see simcontacts. Drives me nuts.
Just reflashed all with no luck.

boot.img?

Hey guys,
so right now I am trying to flash a new rom (currently on trickdroid) and was considering axiom but one of the steps is to flash the boot.img but i am having trouble figuring out how to flash the boot.img through fastboot. I have installed the sdk manager and htc sync according to the how to in the development thread. But i don't know where to get the file for the boot.img and what to do after that I have watched the video and read through the how to several times. Is there an easier way to go about flashing roms, or do I have to use the boot.img process?

If you flash via TWRP, you won't have to flash boot.img.
boot.img is found in the .zip package that you flash. It should be one of the first items you see when you open the zip. This is the .zip that you install when you're in CWM. Extract that boot.img for the fastboot method, but like I said, with TWRP you won't have to flash it.
Some people have said that their boot.img's didn't flash on TWRP, but worse comes to worst is you get stuck in a boot loop and you just flash the boot.img in fastboot or restore your phone in CWM.

Okay perfect this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[Q] HELP Won't boot

Trying to root using easy ace root tool. All seemed fine until I tried to flash rom. Now phone will boot to HTC screen and stop there. I can get into CWM and hboot, I have copied files to the SD from there but I can't get it to boot normally. I have tried putting a new PD98IMD but am not totally sure I have the right one. I miss the AAHK

You need to fastboot flash a boot.img.

tried
I tried that with no change
Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
Put the zip file in your sdcard.
Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)
Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)
Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom

And what does it say when you run fastboot flash boot boot.img?

worked

Did the flash boot from here and it work using ext4

Glad you got it working. You'll need to do the boot.img flash every time you flash a new ROM.

I want to flash stock rom in fastboot for my Oneplus 7 pro but I don't want to erase

so as the title suggests, my oneplus 7 pro is now stuck at fastboot and my only hope is on the img files from the unpacked payload.bin. but now after I extract it, i heard some of the img files are used to clear the user, data etc, can someone tell me which one is which?
The guide I followed:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
the first link seem to be outdated since most of the img files it talked about don't exist but although the third link isn't, it told me how to flash each file, but my problem is that I don't want to lose my data, can someone tell me which img file is used to erase data? thanks a lot

userdata.img will override your internal storage with zero bytes.

We're you coming from a custom Rom, or stock. You might have to format data.

it's kinda obvious, flash-all is flashing after all if ur bootloader is locked, how do u flash?

Note: This is for soft bricks only.
soft brick = can access fastboot or recovery
hard brick = no boot, black screen boot. etc.............
I found myself on OB4, tried to sideload another build and got stuck. Tried to boot into TWRP, no bueno, now what? I didn't want to use MSM tools and go though that whole process again. I've saved many of my devices with Linux, by just flashing the img files through fastboot commands. So if your comfortable with the command line this is easier then using the flash tools that relock your bootloader. This also works with Widows, so I remembered the files the fastboot flasher flashed, and just flashed them manually, you just need flash to the correct partition. So, if it's a boot img, then flash boot, and system flash system, and so on. List of files that I flashed.
First you'll need payload dumper, to extract files from payload.bin file inside whatever OTA, you want to flash. It will extract to a folder called payload_output, from there you can click and drag to command line.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260
I also provided a copy of my script, you'll need to edit to your files path. And save as .bat, .cab, or .exe...........
Commands I run before flash
fastboot format system
fastboot format userdata
1. boot.img
2. dtbo
3. modem
4. odm
5. qupfw
6. storsec
7. system
8. vbmeta
9. vendor
10. fastboot reboot
If device boots to recovery which should be stock, just wipe everything and you should boot into system without a problem.

I kinda wiped away my phone's OS and I'm not sure how to fix it, help?

Hi, so I was messing with the recovery mode on my phone when trying to install a new rom and somehow ended up wiping the os. I actually managed to install the rom, but I don't know what possessed me to start tapping random buttons and that's how it got messed up. Now my phone is stuck in fastboot mode and I don't know how to get it back to normal. Any advice on how would be a great help, thanks in advance.

Fastboot flash recovery, then try using adb commands to boot into recovery and flash your ROM again. Or, try extracting the system.img from your ROM, place the system.img(rename the file to system.img if it is labeled by another name) in your fastboot folder on PC, open a terminal and flash the system.img via fastboot using the following command:
fastboot flash system system.img
