Hi Guys!!
I tried my rooting adventures again and found some more facts that can help community to attain stable root.
Whats available--
1. Magisk root.
2. TWRP.
3. V4A
4. Baseband.
Whats not available -
Untethered root with baseband and the ability to get into phone if not having a laptop/pc.
Now some facts-
1. Bootloader is one hell of a thing in this model.
If we unlock it, it would re-lock itself on proper reboot.To keep it unlocked, you need to hard reset the device by pressing power button for 10 seconds.The fun part is - if you boot with unlocked bootloader, it wont allow you to access baseband, and if you try to boot with locked bootloader, dm-verity will come into place and will lock you out.Even more funnier part is, on booting TWRP from bootloader, the bootloader will first unlock itself,boot twrp and then lock it self.(this is the part which helps us to attain tethered root with baseband.)
After many trials, i was able to get a boot image which had Magisk/Insecure adbd/V4A/Non-Encrypted Data partition/no dm verity on system partition.
Now , to get tethered + working baseband root,follow these steps-
First Time Steps.
1.Boot into fastboot mode.
2.fastboot boot twrp.img
3. wipe data partition.
4.reboot to bootloader.
5.fastboot flash boot magisk-boot.img
6.fastboot boot magisk-boot.img
7.enjoy.
When rebooting (for baseband)-
1. Boot into fastboot
2.fastboot boot magisk-boot.img
When rebooting (without baseband)-
1. Boot into fastboot
2.fastboot oem unlock
3. Hard reset by keeping power button pressed.
4. enjoy.
P.S. After every reboot done with baseband enabled, your bootloader will get locked and wont boot into the OS, until and unless, you either unlock the bootloader again / boot into magisk-boot.img from fastboot.
Working on fixing this issue.Will keep posted

I've android PumpKinx 10.1 tablet with 5.1 Lollipop android os.
I did take backup of its stock recovery image.
Since there is no custom recovery image for this device I tried to flash it with twrp recovery image. But after running below command, device goes into bootloop. I've tried many methods but no success.
fastboot flash:raw boot twrp.img
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
maybe u have locked bootloader. First turn on oem unlock in developer options, then reboot in bootloader and type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then confirm acion in the tablet whit volume up, then the bootloader now is unlocked.
Note: The tablet get soft reset. Make backup first.
Then try flash the recovery

Do you understand boot loop or not? First of all fastboot is already unlocked otherwise how I will be able to run above command and since my device is in boot loop then how can I go to developer option?

Just send them an email asking for stock firmware with flash tool, along with the purchase bill..
Or if it still has warranty, just go to the service center and say something like you over-charged the phone a complete night & since then it's not working and claim warranty..
Have you tried to wipe the cache partition or even factory reset???
Ive been asked by a friend of mine to fix his nexus 5 that is stuck on a Bootloop, I've opened it up to have a look at the power button and that wasn't the problem, the device has not been rooted, the Bootloader is locked, there is no emergency mode and there is no recovery. I am however able to access fastboot and when I try unlocking via fast boot it does unlock but then requires a full reboot and as I've said before this cannot happen because of the Bootloop.
Any suggestions!?!?!?!
After unlocking the bootloader, does the bootloader relock itself? If it does, the memory chip is damaged and requires a replacement motherboard.
I've had this problem when I corrupted my recovery by using FlashFire and my bootloader was locked. Though I was able to restore my device using Fastboot. I had unlocked my device and instead of flashing the stock recovery when unlocking the bootloader I had flashed the Team Win Recovery Project recovery and when I tried to boot up to TWRP recovery it would stay for a couple of second displaying that it couldn't wipe the data partition and then reboot me back into bootloader mode. I fixed that when trying out the following steps:
1= Download the latest firmware of the device found Here .
2= Boot the device to Fastboot mode (aka Bootloader mode) plug the device in and unlock the bootloader (of coarse confirm when asked by the device).
3= After seeing that the device has stopped wiping data indicated the text "wiping..." in the very bottom of the specifications in the Fastboot Bootloader REBOOT THE DEVICE IN FASTBOOT BOOTLOADER MODE by navigating using Volume buttons to scroll down and highlight the option "Reboot Bootloader" and then pressing the Power button.
4= Using the provided scripts for Windows , Mac and Linux flash the device with the firmware.
VERY IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU SEE THAT IT IS FLASHING "userdata" and after that "cache" HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON THIS WILL FORCE THE DEVICE INTO FASTBOOT BOOTLOADER MODE.
5= When you see that the device is in the Fastboot Bootloader mode scroll down (again using volume buttons) and highlight "Recovery Mode" then boot into Recovery and it should automatically start wiping the ("userdata" partition) Data once more that the bootloader said when it displayed the "wiping..." message after being unlocked.
If not wipe data factory reset the device manually by using the recovery and reboot to the system.
Optional: 6= IF the device has successfully booted up power it back down and lock the bootloader again using the fastboot tool additionally before locking the bootloader you can reset the warranty tamper flags.
This tutorial explains in detail how to flash a firmware to the Nexus 5 and shows how to restore the tamper flags.
I hope that I helped in some way.

Yes after unlocking Bootloader and restarting the device into the Bootloader it relocks and I'm back at square one
The motherboard needs to be changed. I recommend looking for a used Nexus 5 with a smashed screen and a working motherboard as this may easier than trying to find a new motherboard.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried this already and it doesn't work because when I unlock the bootloader and reboot into the Bootloader it locks itself again making impossible to flash the system image
Here my tips for rooting of Huawei Honor 8 Lite... Utils and resources prepared:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AgEr-N6c2tdUh68_GbgIAvD99y6_EQ
ROOTING HUAWEI HONOR 8 LITE (acterhd edition)
(x) acterhd probably void own warranty, so have no much chances to happy life; also probably corrupted stock firmware, and await replacement
/!\ Do it on own risk!
/!\ After unlock bootloader may disappear most apps.
/!\ If you stucked on "Unlocked and not trusted" and cannot go to bootloader, try uncharge battery to low as minimum, system will forcely shut down.
Unlock bootloader loader getting code (http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download)
You can load modded SuperSU (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...-to-root-huawei-p8-lite-2017-android-t3582179 or https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298935423)
Some files also included
Gapps here not included (You may get http://opengapps.org/)
1. Enable USB debugging and type `adb reboot bootloader` i.e. boot to bootloader if possible
2. Unlock bootloader by `fastboot oem unlock #CODE#` (you can use side buttons), after this action will auto reboot with "Factory reset", which you can disappear most apps
3. Load most compatible recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...on/recovery-twrp-huawei-p8-lite-2017-t3591762)
4. Flash recovery `fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-2-v2-prague.img`

Which part? the going immediately to the bootloader? THat is easy, you tried flashing a ROM and never cleared fb_mode... In the bootloader use fastboot and use this command command:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
and it should now boot normally without starting the bootloader each time.
For the bootloader unlock image, flash a logo.bin that is designed to cover it... you can't make it go away any other way even if you relock the bootloader
"system : there is no system"? Well, flash something.
I deleted my bootloader. Whatever rom I flash it's just went into bootloop and when it boot the second time it boot into Huawei erecovery. My model is mha L29 cc636. I used to run on Android 8.0. Plzzz help
Try typing "fastboot oem relock (your phone's unlock code)" but this method will factory reset your device.

Fastboot won't work since I deleted my bootloader. I couldn't get into fastboot mode.
hmm.....I didn't;t know you could delete the bootloader.
If your phone still goes to eRecovery, then you couldn't have deleted your bootloader. (Fastboot is the stage 2 boot loader, which loads the various other partitions for startup, boot or kernel + ramdisk for normal, recovery or kernel + recovery_ramdisk for recovery, and erecovery or erecovery_kernel + erecovery_ramdisk for eRecovery.)
In any case:
Power off
Hold volume down while plugging into computer.
That should start up fastboot.
