Bricked Lava Icon - Need Help

After Lollipop Update of my phone (Lava iris icon), I had to root in again and while trying to root it from custom recovery, I bricked it ( may be the recovery is not compatible). So,it stuck in the bootloop and by pressing Power and volume buttons, I am only able to access Fastboot mode. I downloaded the stock rom of device and tried to flash recovery , boot etc. with fastboot commands, but it is still in bootloop. I also tried to flash cwm recovery (though it is not available for device, I chose the nearest one), but in vain.
When I try to flash system partition, it gives error while erasing system <unknown command> (may be due to fact that phone is not rooted as of now). Also, SP flash tools are not recognizing the device and I cant use adb commands also. So, I am stuck with only fastboot in hand and I have stock rom as well as lollipop update, but i am unable to use these due to errors. Can anyone help? I will be very thankful for an advice. Thanks in advance.

is there a partition file with the stock rom you downloaded?
if so, try to flash that first with fastboot.

Phone Stuck in Bootloop

Hello,
Recently I flashed a CWM file for 'Lava Iris X1' found on this site for my android 'Lava Iris X1 Grand'. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. For some reason i cant enter recovery mode even before my phone was stuck in a bootloop. I am not sure whether my phone has USB debugging enabled or not. I rooted my android with KingRoot before all this happened. I have downloaded your Minimal Adb and Fastboot but it cant find my device.
Overall problem:
1) Phone Stuck in Bootloop
2)USB debugging enabled ? Not sure
3) Can't enter recovery mode
4) ADB wont find my device
Note : When I used Minimal Adb and Fastboot, I typed 'fastboot devices' and some numbers appear:
0123456789ABCDEF devices
but when I used the command 'adb devices' my device is not shown:
List of devices attached
I have a backup at my phone through the Flashify app but since recovery mode cant show I cant recover it. I also need a some flash recovery images.
Please help me out here. I don't know what else to do.
Thank You in advance

Fixed
Nevermind guys, i was able to get my phone out of bootloop using SP Flash Tool.
Now all I have to do is restore IMEI.

Difference between Bootloader, Download and Recovery mode ?

I tried to google, and searched on XDA as well. But I cannot find any thread that clearly explains the difference between the bootloader mode and download mode.
What is the basic difference between them ?
adb reboot bootloader - boots into fastboot mode in my Xiaomi Redmi 3S. Is the fastboot mode same as download mode ? If it is, does that mean adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot download have the same meaning ?
Sometimes across threads, I have read that even the recovery and fastboot mode are same. Though I'm pretty sure they aren't, but could someone please explain how they differ ?
I found a question on android.stackexchange, but couldn't quite understand the answer.

Bootloader is code that executed when your operating system starts. Bootloader is a set of instructions that how operating system starts to run apps smoothly.
Download mode, Bootloader mode and fastboot mode are same. Download mode is related to samsung devices. "adb reboot download" command is used for boot samsung device in download mode for flashing purpose.
"adb reboot bootloader" command used for other devices to boot in fastboot mode for flashing.
Recovery mode and fastboot are different.
fastboot mode used for flashing roms.
Recovery mode is used for factory data reset, clear cache, flash official update package(Stock) and can backup and restore whole rom and data, flash mods, custom roms (custom like CWM AND TWRP)

Do you mean that when the 'device' starts ? Because I read here on xda, that bootloader is before the device boots into 'Android' or 'recovery' .
Also, you said

What happens if I try to flash a Samsung device in 'bootloader' mode ? Or some other device into 'download' mode ?

Yes. Bootloader executed before android system starts. It have set of instructions that how system starts and runs operations.
Download mode is only term that uses for Samsung devices and fastboot mode for others. The meaning and purpose of both is same.

There is bootloader mode and then there is bootloader.
Bootloader mode is the flashing mode.
Bootloader is the code executed before android system boots.
Some devices boot to a bootloader mode and then have a menu to choose which mode to switch to: fastboot, recovery, etc..
The difference between download mode and fastboot has been explained to you already.

The bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. Bootloaders basically package the instructions to boot operating system kernel and most of them also have their own debugging or modification environment. Think of the bootloader as a security checkpoint for all those partitions. Because if you’re able to swap out what’s on those partitions, you’re able to break things if you don’t know what you’re doing. So basically it commands the kernel of your device to Boot the Device properly without any issues. So careful with bootloader since it can mess things very badly.
Recovery is defined in simple terms as a source of backup. Whenever your phone firmware is corrupted, the recovery does the job in helping you to restore or repair your faulty or buggy firmware into working condition. It is also used for flashing the Rom’s , kernel and many more things.

The difference is, fastboot mode is the mode designed for flashing the device when fastboot is functioning correctly.
Qhsusb dloader 9008 is when the device has been bricked. The device has to be restored by a specific method when in this state.

Sorry for digging this topic up, but I have a few questions here regarding the Bootloader and the Dloader 9008, so please help to answers if you still follow this thread.
+ For Qualcomm based devices, when in Qloader 9008 ( let's say EDL if I made no mistakes ) then is this true that we can do anything to our devices at this mode? Says, I'm using QPST, and I'm in EDL mode, can I flash a new bootloader to the devices? And if yes, how can I do that?
+ My situation here is a little complicated, one of my ROM testing device, is Xiaomi A1 ( or at least, I think so until few days back ). But then one day, it just bricked when I try to flash a custom ROM, and of course I tried to flash the stock A1 firmware in order to un-brick it. But then, it stays at 900E mode ( Diagnostics mode, not Qloader 9008 ).
Then I had to dig deeper and find out that my device is not actually A1, it's Mi 5X with A1 firm.
Next, I tried to flash 5X firm to bring it back from bricked, but still no luck. Again, I found out that my device is not only 5X, but it's a Tiffany device with Oxygen bootloader ( and worst thing is, it's locked by accident ).
Coming to this point, I'm kind of lost. After reading many articles, try many methods ( lets say my device always in 9008 for the last few days )))) ) but still not able to bring it back from death.
So, if it's anyway to bring it back to life, please help to instructs the process, I have all the tools with me along with about 100GB of firms ( A1, 5X, Mi Max 2, Miui EU....etc ).
Thanks in advance, guys!

Please don't flash custom recovery (here twrp) without proper knowledge or just sake of modding device. The builds and methods are not always working and may end up bricking your device.

Hi There, Can someone PLZ help me setting up OPPO PRELOADER Drivers correctly. Everytime i try to use miracle thunder i get the following log:
Waiting for USB Port...
Set USB Serial Device (COM9)
Connecting to Phone,Wait..
Connected to Phone.
CPU: MT6771 SW:0000 Ver: CA00
>>Downloading Boot8 ...
and it remains on here forever.
Actually oppo preloader shows for some time in pc and after that it goes away and hence it is not letting the miracle thunder work properly (i guess)
when my phone was working (booting in coloros 6, then also oppo preloader was doing the same thing and after a few seconds my battery would start charging), now i can't see anything on screen as it's bricked now.
Preloader doesn't even work with SP Flash Tools also.
EDIT : I have tried almost everything i knew, drivers manager add legacy option etc.
If someone could help me get out of this problem, i would really be grateful.
Brick Reason : Flashed TWRP but used fastboot command to boot into that : (
PLEASE HELP SOMEONE

Which recovery are you in? Is it Stock or Custom?
If u have stock first wipe data and then flash boot.img or ozip file (stock ROM).
If u have custom recovery then you need to flash stock recovery + stock ROM.

Yes. Do remember you need both fastboot and recovery to be working, so you can flash Stock Recovery (only if you have TWRP installed).
If you have stock recovery installed then download stock rom from official Realme site and place it in the Sdcard (otg wont help). Enter into recovery and update/install the ozip.
If your phone is completely dead then above method wont help and you have to follow another one.
Note: If your device is rooted then installing (from stock recovery) stock rom fails. At this time flash TWRP from fastboot then flash zip file (convert stock rom from ozip to zip).

Download stock recovery.
Enter fastboot mode using Power + Volume Down. If that does not work use other combinations.
Now flash stock recovery.
Enter recovery using
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
Install ozip.

nubia x fastboot loop

hi community
i hope someone is still active in this nubia x section, because i hope for some help.
i flashed twrp to my nubia x with using Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
with twrp i flashed the new rom 3.21.
as i tried also to flash gaps i got in the "your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and will not boot g.com/abh" error.
but because i still was able to flash files with Minimal ADB and Fastboot i flashed all the *.img files i found in the NX616J-update.zip to the phone.
so i was able to boot the recovery mode and flashed the original rom 3.21 with otg from usb stick.
then the nubia x booted normal to the original rom, but because the playstore wasn't working, i flashed again twrp with Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
in twrp i used all swipe and format functions because i thinked i want clean what i can to start from the beginning.
sorry i dont remeber exactly all the steps i did.
and now my problem is the phone only boot to the fastboot menu.
Minimal ADB and Fastboot seems to still work normal, i can unlock the device and flash twrp.
but after reboot i am still in the fastboot menu.
only boot do edload don't boot to fastboot, and if i boot edload i can connect the phone to my pc and with the qfil-tool i see connect:
"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)
But to use qfil to flash i think i need a "MetaBuild Configuration (contents.xml)", and i can't find this file for nubia x.
i hope someone has an idea how i get my phone out of this fastboot-loop and share it here.
thanks and kind regards
hoitschau

i found the solution, thanks to rcsj.
