Boot loop after unlocking - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
Hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction.
So I got my hands on a OnePlus x and decided to install a nougat ROM on it.
I unlocked the bootloader, flashed Twrp, installed the ROM and Gapps and rebooted the phone.
Now it just shows the one plus logo and nothing else, do I have to update the bootloader to flash a nougat based ROM, or is there something else I have missed?

Hey buddy,
just letting you know the outcome, so the first post ended up bricking my phone, had to reflash the stock recovery and the sideload a Rom to get the phone booting again, tried a few times (Gotta love a trier) but same outcome.
Second post worked like a charm, so its all god and the phone is now on Nougat.
Thanks for all your advice, you Sir are a legend:good:

I wanted to install it, but in the baseband section my baseband was marked bad.So i didn't install it .Thanks for the help!
Like many others, I've followed the tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190 but have ended-up with a loop.
In my case I cannot find the Samsung ROM for the Canadian version ( I5500MUGJJ7 ) as can be seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13958293&postcount=1 I'm not the only one.
End result is I've bricked my phone I think (but hoping NOT).
I don't think by following that tutorial I made a backup so I don't think I can restore - or CAN I?
Can anyone help me out - THNKS

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

Thank you for replying.
That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

First try to get on the tutorial, from this sequence:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.
I have unlocked G5 and it is not Virgin Mobile - what now!
Thanks

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?
Thanks

[Q] Nabi 2 Nick Edition Rom

Would someone mind posting the Nick Edition roms for me? I flashed the regular Nabi2 roms on it before I realized they were different. I already tried the Disney rom that is out there and it didn't work. I am stuck at the Nabi logo. I can get into TWRP for flash and have fastboot/adb still.
PS - I don't care if they include gapps or don't or anything else.. just want to get it working, I can go from there on my own.
Thank you!

[Q] Unable to flash custom rom

I'm new to this whole custom rom thing and i would like to ask for some help. Right now, my phone is rooted and the bootloader has been unlocked.I have tried to install paranoid rom, cyanogenmod and carbon rom so far. I have tried to CWM and TWRP and every single time, i get an error. First time i got the status 7 error. After some searching, i learnt that i have to delete a line of code to get it to work. After i did that, i tried to flash again. This time, i just got an installation aborted error. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I downgraded my phone to C6802 and as a result, lost my LTE. But this was the only way i knew to root my Sony Xperia Z Ultra running 4.3. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks guys.
Getting LTE back
If you guys don't know how to help me, at least can you guys tell me how i can get LTE back? I dont mind losing root and relocking my bootloader. I just want LTE back. And yes, my phone has LTE capability. I've used LTE for the past 2 weeks.

LTE will return when you get on the correct ROM. as for flashing custom ROMs read the threads, the instructions are normally quite good
CM11 and the new carbon (any rom that is based on 4.3 or 4.4) need to be on 4.3 before flashing them

Start at .xxx
fastboot a boot.ing with recovery if you don't have it
wipe as needed
flash .zip from recovery
reboot
Other than that read the sticky by @LordManhattan and read the thread for the rom

Any roms for my S4

Hey guys thanks for taking your time and reading. I have a Verizon Sch-i545 Galaxy S4 with a OF1 bootloader. I really and when i say really i mean it, really want a deodexed rom. I literally have been searching for days, bricking my device, and much more. All you tech savvy pros out there could you possibly help me i really wanted a deodexed rom just to download xposed and other modules. Please help, thanks again!
Either of Stang5litre's roms work and the Albe95 ports are nice too

Well the thing is I've tried stangs 3 times and got a black screen after booting past the Samsung custom bootlogo
I tried stang's, and I could only get one to connect to the network, but it kept giving me a security warning every couple of minutes. Albe's s6 rom works great after turning off the edge features.
@hooks024 @ConfudentialGUI Did you figure it out? I'm trying to figure out why some have trouble and others don't. There has to be a common connection. Let me know.
Nah I didn't even try
recovery kernel to flash on an OF1 build
So if I'm understanding this thread correctly, there is a rom I can install even with an OF1 build? I'll check these suggested roms. Big question to me is flashing a recovery kernel, what is it, where to download and instructions to install flash process.
instead of making a thread to ask i figured id just ask in this one....my girl has an i545pp with 0h7 baseband...... i've been retired from the game for a few years now but wanting know what i could do to unlock it and get here on a custom rom.... her ex has some **** on here i want wiped but though unlocking it and hooking her up would be better than a factory reset
thanks in advance

Finally got it. The first time I used Flash Fire the rom I downloaded was for the MDK build Stang rom. Working back through it I realized what I'd done, checked my download list and flashed everything correctly. I'm going through set up right now. It is so refreshing to not have to look at that damn Verizon boot image! Once again, thanks to all the collaborators and usual suspects that put all this together.

OK. It's a mystery. I have the same device, but I can switch roms freely. Can you pm me with a description of how you rooted and what you did after. Also, I have tried installing xposed on stang5litre... the result was a reacquainence with my old friend Odin. I would like to figure out why some can flash stang and others cannot.
Thanks.
I have had no trouble with stang's ROM on my phone or my friend's s4... Albe's ROM had some problems that I eventually solved. Still running Stang's ROM

Kenzo bootloop problems, any new rom

Hi Guys and greetings from the UK,
Recently i flashed the latest RR, Nitrogen and Pure roms and none of the boot. I'm just wondering if this is down to the unofficial bootloader unlock method. Could somebody either confirm or refute this please?
What options to i have to use the latest roms if it is to do with the BL?
Many thanks

Simply flash Citrus and enjoy your phone. It will work on unofficially unlocked bootloader and is bug free:

Goodix support was added in the most recent update.
It's CAF based, so Citrus will give you better and more stable signal than AOSP or LineageOS based ROMs
Hi i have flashed the rom and it wont boot im afraid. I just have the lemon/lime logo. Same as all the other roms.
Any idea?
Do i need a specific recovery?
I followed the instructions.
If i flash custom kernel do i do this before or after the ROM?

At first make a backup of your working ROM in TWRP (I think we can skip that step in your case)
Wipe Data/System/Internal Storage/Dalvik and Cache
Install ROM, install GApps (Android 7.1 - 64 Bit)
Reboot to System
First reboot can take 5 - 10 minutes, so don't give up if the lemon appears on your screen. Just wait a few minutes.
Everything will be working out of the box. If for some reason you want to try different kernels, just reboot to recovery, flash the kernel of you liking and reboot.

Hmmm,
Thanks for helping me, i must say. Nothing seems to be working for me. I've done as you described exactly and it just isn't booting.
I've been flashing roms forever on multiple handsets so i am very used to doing this. it just seems that no matter what i try, no matter what rom they refuse to boot.
I have to go back to an older rom or restore from twrp
I'm going to start again and follow your instructions step by step again.
Then im going to allow it 30 minutes to boot.
I will let you know.

One last idea would be to update your firmware before flashing the ROM. You will find it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
Flash firmware, wipe, flash ROM, flash GApps, reboot
Ok i will try this if the long wait method doesnt work
Ok its just started to boot. the time is 11:50 - i will leave it until 12:20
Ok so its 12:20 and its still on the lemon/lime screen. Ill try your firmware idea now.
Nope. it wont allow me to flash the citrus rom with the older cm 14 firmware.
Hi again.
No its still not booting even with new FW. Ill try the older firmware from your link and tell you how i get on.
Still not working, unable to flash with older fw
I'm going back to my old rom

Your problem is probably lp bootloader. You need to be on mm bootloader to flash latest nougat roms.
Your options.
1. Best option: flash latest global dev rom in fastboot and unlock officially.
2. Try unofficial way if for some reason official unlock didn't work : http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html

You've basically answered your own question when you tried it and it didn't work.
Follow what JLius said or if you don't want to download large files you can try the "(experimental)updated method" posted here. Do note that I don't know if it would work if you're already unofficially unlocked as I've tried that with locked bootloader. I can guarantee it works(as in you can flash latest ROMs as long as you have 7.5.4 firmware and above) on Kate although some kenzo users stated that it worked on them.
I wonder why this isn't causing more problems for other people. I fail to believe that i'm the only person using an unofficially unlocked boot loader.

You're welcome.
I am not rude. Try answering the same questions 10 times a day for 60 days. I think I'll stop doing that, let someone else do it or let 'm figure it out for themselves.
"Do yourself a favor and do as I told you."
This is rude. Plain and simple. There is no sentence you can now string together which will make that any less rude either.
I suggest that if you are getting frustrated by helping people, stop doing it. I don't want to feel guilty about asking for help if that's all the same to you.
Belittling people you don't know isn't an admirable trait.
Either way i thanked you for your help, lets leave it at that.
