Hi, I was on CleanRom 5.1, flashed to ViperXL 3.1, but then I flashed back to CleanRom, and now my phone wont boot pass the "X" nexus logo. I hold down "power+volume", but it restarted the phone and repeated the same boot loop. What can I do to solve this? Thank you very much.
Did you full wipe?
1. Did you unlock your bootloader?
2. Power off your phone completely, and then hit the power+volume keys to turn it on and into recovery, sometimes it works better that way
Deleted read again just full wipe
Ok. I got it to boot into recover mode. FYI, my HBoot is 1.09. I can't find the Custom Roms file on my phone any more. What can i do to install a custom rom now?

What version of twrp r u on? But you should be able to mount storage in twrp
TWRP 2.3.1 - Format the SD and transferring Rom to SD. How do I flash the boot.img via fastboot?
What i always do and dont even care about if im flashing the same rom or a new is this:
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe System / Dalvik Cache / Cache
Flash boot.img
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Wipe Cache / Dalvik Cache
Reboot
It doesnt take you a lot of time and its going to work prety much every single time
You don't have to you're on hboot 1.09 ...but in clean roms aroma make sure you say to install boot img
well thats the point with all the roms that are out there haha you clean everything, always flash the boot.img, so you will never have to worry about if its gonna bootloop because of a different kernel or another file from another rom, the peace of mind of knowning your device its fully clean, besides it takes like 10 seconds more to do that
tried it again and it worked! thank you all!

When you wipe system in pretty sure it wipes kernel so no harm he diesnt have to go through the hassle of fastboot

If you are on hboot<1.14, boot.img will be flashed automatically. So I agree that flashing boot.img "just in case" is pointless.
System always gets wiped when flashing the ROM, so again it doesn't need to be done separately.

Unless you have a corrupt hboot, not being able to get into hboot is almost always a matter of pilot error.
People simply don't get the button sequence right. Hold volume down and keep holding it. Press power button for 3 seconds and release. Or if its stuck powered on on the splash screen, press power until the capacitive keys flash and the phone reboots. Keep holding volume down rocker until white hboot screen comes up. I think most people think you release power and vol down at the same time.

did you flash a recovery yet and if so which one ? if you want help you need to give us some details ?
What rom did you try to flash ? How did you go about it ?
Thank the android gods it wasn't an international ROM.
Did you flash superuser or supersu. We will need a little more information in the steps you've taken. Can you make a list of the steps for us?

ok. i'm not gonna beg if you want help I need DETAILS not vague s***t like "TWRP or whatever".. So evidently you can boot into recovery with no problem. What rom are you trying to flash ? You need to extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and flash that in fastboot and then flash the rom.zip in recovery.
If you're not booting it's most likely because your phone is not finding a kernel (boot.img)
So more details or more reading
Good luck to you

Its not a good idea to ask for help and then flame. Honestly what was hard about posting this the first time? I thought maybe English wasn't your language or something. How could you flash a recovery before unlocking???
If you wiped everything, you should reflash bootimage in adb. Then flash your ROM. Please be nice.

Hey guys,
Long story short, I'm running MIUI 2.11.9 and want to switch kernels to Jacobs.b3. I've never flashed kernels before, but I've done ROMS all the time. Can I just flash the boot.img file in TWRP? Do I need to clear cache or anything?
Cheers.
Yes, you flash kernels just like you flash roms except that there is no need to do a full wipe across different kernels--they fully replace each other, unlike roms. Wiping caches is still good practice though.
Thanks, that's all I needed to hear.
If you are on the 1.14 hboot, you will need to flash the kernel using fastboot. Otherwise just flash in TWRP. I always wipe cache and Dalvik whenever flashing anything. Just to be safe, and it can't hurt anything.

I don't know anything about that phone. You should post in your device specific forum section, as technical advice often differs from one device to another.
Following advice intended for another device can cause permanent damage to your phone.

ah good. no problem.
I rooted my phone and used firewater to get S-OFF (a lifesaver), then unfortunately installed a TWRP recovery that has completely messed up the device. It wouldn't respond at all and I was lucky enough to flash CWM when I got it back to bootloader. Now, at least I do have a recovery to work from.
I can't do a factory reset (just goes back to recovery), can't sideload a new ROM, and tried to flash a new boot.img and system.img from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706233

I have rooted my OnePlus One a few days back. There was an update to 11.0-XNPH30O. When I hit the install button, it redirects me to the Team Win recovery mode. Then when I hit reboot, system. It still says "An update is available for your system" Do I have to flash a newer ROM? I'm sorry, I am really new to this as this is my first android phone, what are the precautions and pre-requisites I have to do? Will this wipe my phone? Do I have to manually wipe it? I'm sorry for these questions..
Thank you in advance.

Did you check the current build on the phone, because there are two OTA's (one major and one minor). if you see 30O build on your about settings and yet you see an update available it is the small update. if you are still on 25R go to developer options and uncheck "update CM recovery" and try to do the OTA update again.

No you dont have to wipe anything(if you are on stock 25R), all apps and settings will be intact. Also did you make any changes like to mixer xml or lockscreen or anything else? you have to revert back to old ones or else the installation will fail.

I have read it but it kind of confuses me a bit.
I have already flashed the META-INF.zip, so I'm guessing all the mods I put should be gone now.
Now I'm wondering, can I just transfer the cm-bacon-d22b777afa-to-0428073396-signed.zip (113mb file) to the phone and install it using TeamWin? After I reboot and power off/and power back on. then transfer the cm-bacon-0428073396-to-4f280f505a-signed.zip (8.12mb file) to the phone and install it using TeamWin.
Will this work too? Thank you for helping, really means a lot.

Before you do anything Take a Nandroid back up, so that if anything goes bad you can just restore.
OK. Just download this zip and flash it using TWRP(since the post says you can do it without sideload).
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzgUrWZ7XZ0rcDA2YVZLZUY0YkU/edit
after this is flashed just reboot the device and go to developer options uncheck "update CM recovery" then go to "about" and look for update and it will be installed with no problems.
****NOTE****
If you run into a bootloop. Wipe both caches and try flashing again. If you get any FC then try setting permissions with another cache wipe.

TeamWin is still accessible though. I guess I'll have to Factory reset.

it shouldn't take long, leave it for 10mins. if it is still stuck hold the power button for 10 sec or untill the screen goes off then hold power + volume down button untill 1+ logo appears then clear the caches as said above.
