[Q] not booting

Ok. I followed these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466436 I got to the step and put chinese boot.img onto SD card by creating a root folder and I flashed my phone after rebooting it again...
1) stock ROM is still on there (maybe). tried flashing kernel using All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery and still not getting anywhere.
Well this would not have happened if I did not forget to flash first before rebooting
help much appreciated? :crying:

[Q] Question on rooting.(Not bricked lol)

Question on rooting.(Not bricked lol),so about a week ago I got into bootloop because I flashed boot.img when I took it out of the Rom file. I want to know if bootloop is normal when you flash the image file before rezipping the Rom and installing the Rom via teamwin recovery. I'm unrooted and boot is locked so I don't need any help with that. so I just wanted to know if I followed the right process. I have read many threads and never seen anything about bootloop being a normal process when flashing boot.IMG before getting into recovery and installing a ROM. Thanks in advance for anyone providing me an explanation.

I know it happened for me -- Sometimes it wont enter recovery for me even in the bootloader and I have to Power+Vol Down to get it back into the bootloader. But it makes sense this would be a normal process because if you flash the boot.img without any OS files to load after it will just boot-loop.
Once I get back into bootloader and can get back into recovery and flash the ROM everything goes well after -- although I'm not sure if you would classify this as the "norm" but it certainly happens for me

I didn't have a bootloop. Mine just sat on the first htc bootscreen and did nothing. I had to do a simlated battery pull to get it to shut off. Generally I flash the rom in recovery then reboot to fastboot and flash the boot.img. This way you don't have to worry about the bootloop or simulated battery pull.

your just supposed to extract the boot.img not the whole rom. you should never be rezipping anything. if you are on windows i hope your using a real archive utility like 7-zip or winrar. just open the zip and drag the boot.img out which extracts it. flash the boot.img in fastboot then flash the rom in recovery.
getting into recovery from bootloader can be a problem at times but i haven't had this problem once since changing over to twrp 2.3.1.0.

[Q] Help Please!

Ok so today i tried to flash the JellyBam ROM 6.3.0. I read in the comments that first i had to go into bootloader mode and flash the boot.img that was in the ROM .zip when i did that it said it successfully flashed the boot.img but then when i tried to reboot it just got stuck in a bootloop. I was able to eventually get back to twrp with the fastboot boot recovery.img command but when i try to flash my old ROM (ViperXL) the Aroma installer comes up but with a weird blue gradient over it. And when it finishes it just goes right back to bootlooping. How do i fix this!? please help! thanks in advance.

All you did was flash the boot.img.
You have to flash the actual ROM also.

i forgot to mention that i did flash the rom when i was able to get back to recovery but i still got the bootloop

Sounds like a rom/kernel conflict. You flashed a cm kernel, and you can't run a sense rom (Viper) over that.

so what should i do then?

Factory reset and flash the apporpiate combo..

[Solved] Stuck on bootloop after unlock and cwm

I have just unlocked and flashed cwm through fastboot, and when i rebooted i got stuck on the bootanimation. I tried installing the factory image but the weird thing is that my pc doesnt recognise my phone when in bootloader screen, but does when in cwm. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I am sorry my mistake, i didn't copy fastboot.exe in the folder, please delete this thread.

Oneplus 5 stuck on fastboot, but still have access to recovery.

Hi XDA, after searching over countless threads and not being able to find the answer i'm after here goes my first post, so the problem originated when I accidentally signed out of Snapchat and wasn't able to sign back in due to safetynet so I went about trying to unroot and reroot using Magisk, however when installing the Magisk.zip, I ran into "Error 1" which I fixed by flashing a stock boot image with "fastboot flash boot boot.img", finally the zip file "successfully" installed via TWRP but upon trying to boot my phone to OS it constantly just goes back to fastboot mode and refuses to boot properly, I still have access to TWRP and have tried flashing back to stock recovery as well to no avail. What i'm wondering is if I somehow flashed the boot improperly and that's causing it to not boot to OS and if not what else can I do to restore my phone to working order, at this point i'm not that fussed over having root access but need to know how I can fix this, I have also tried flashing a stock ROM from stock recovery but just after starting the install it and the loading bar going up slightly it stops and goes back to the file selection page. Please help!
Edit: I have flashed the boot.img again using a newer stock image and now when I attempt to boot normally I get taken to a black screen with a white LED
