What rom are you flashing? And what is reboot.flash? Try flashing the rom and then twrp if you want to keep that, I'd recommend you do. Then boot into system to see if it's working ok. Then if it is go back and flash the kernel and magisk.

I'm currently on stock rom with Kirisakura Kernel, but I have used bootlegger and it works for me.
After you flash the rom and boot into system does it just boot to the bootloader? If it does then I would start over by flashing the factory image with the flash-all batch file with the -w removed. Then make sure it boots into the system. Then I'd boot twrp, wipe the device, install the rom, then install twrp and boot to system. If it boots then boot back into recovery, twrp, and flash magisk. I don't know what kernel you are trying to flash but I believe bootlegger includes the Kirisakura Kernel. I'm very impressed with this kernel so I would not try to flash another one. If you are flashing a different kernel which one is it? It's possible that the kernel is not compatible with the bootlegger rom and that is what is causing your device to only boot to the bootloader.

Ok yea the furthest I get is after I flash bootlegger rom then twrp then I reboot to system that's when it goes straight to bootloader. I usually flash kernel and magisk after setup

Start over by flashing the factory image, or at least the boot image to both slots. Boot is probably messed up right now. I'd flash the whole image as I suggested as some times system and other partitions get messed up too.

No need to wipe data. When you to flash the rom I'd use the default wipe in twrp. Make a backup of the data partition in twrp before you wipe the device and store it off the device. You restore that after flashing the rom.

Does TWRP work on android 7.0?

If I upgrade to 7.0 on my nexus 5x, will i be able to install twrp as i normally would through fastboot?
You need to decrypt the phone for it to work.
Hmm anyone got the 7.0 recovery? I installed it thinking it would work but I want to keep the system encrypted. Does the stock 7.0 recovery mount system? I want to mod my build.prop dpi.

Am I the only one who encounters the flasing of recovery not sticking? After system reboot, then going back to recovery, it reverts to stock.

If you decrypt it first by flashing the modified boot.img, and then flash recovery and reboot it should stick and work right? Can you kindly describe your steps?

-1 installs, but two issues if you're encrypted:
1) TWRP doesn't stick. After a restart, you won't be able to get back into TWRP and need to reflash it.
2) Installing SU via TWRP doesn't work. It runs into an error if you read the responses during the flash in TWRP.
We'll just have to be patient until the devs do their magic on the encrypted version.

If you root using phh's superuser and magisk, TWRP will stick. His solution also allows you to use Android Pay with root, albeit with a little hoop-jumping
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
I had the twrp not sticking issue in the past. What has worked is to boot twrp, not flash it, then flash SU. Then boot back into the bootloader and flash twrp.

Flashing stock kernel

Sorry for the noob question.
I have upgraded my 5X to 7.0 and flashed a custom recovery and kernel. Everything went fine but I would like to try other kernels. A lot of the custom kernels say they should only be flashed on the original stock kernel. Where can I download the stock kernel and is it as straight forward as flashing the custom builds?
TIA

In TWRP, backup only boot.img and name it appropriately. Now flash your custom kernel. Each time you want to switch custom kernels while on the stock rom, reflash that boot.img.
To switch custom kernels while on custom roms, dirty flash your rom then flash the custom kernel. Dirty flashing (no wipe) restores the boot.img that ships with the custom rom.

Thanks. Do I flash kernel followed boot.img or other way round ir or does it not matter?
Sorry I read your post wrong. I didn't backup boot while on stock so I will need to go back to stock everything first

Back to stock OxygenOS (OP3)

I found 2 versions of the instruction about going back from custom ROM to stock OxygenOS. First one tells about ADB commands which results with full stock, with standard recovery, unrooted system and locked phone. The second one is shorter, it's just flashing official zip with TWRP.
So my question is: Am I "losing something" after going with the second option, I mean TWRP-way? As I understand the only difference is that I'll keep TWRP itself and my phone will still be unlocked, when everything else will be ok (official camera firmware, kernel, etc.).
Thank you in advance for the answer if I'm wrong
The official zips in most cases also erase your twrp recovery and you will end up with the stock recovery and unlocked bootloader
I'm also thinking about going back to Oxygenos. But haven't done it. Looking for answers for you question.
Besides, could you please give me the link for the first method? Thanks
It's like flashing any other Rom? You clean flash by wiping everything (except Internal) and flash the OxygenOS you want (plus SuperUser).
Heres what you gonna do
Download oos full zip
Flash it on twrp then after that dont do a reboot just flash twrp as recovery then reboot to recovery and then reboot to system
If you wanna lock the bootloader and stay fully stock ( this will wipe your whole phone so backup )
Then flash oos full zip through twrp then reboot to bootloader
Then sideload oos recovery
Then go back to bootloader and relock bootloader thats it

I want to keep twrp and stay unlocked
1. flash the oos full zip
2. reboot to fastboot mode and flash twrp
3. go to twrp and reboot to system
Is this right?
Besides, I'm using twrp 3.0.4-1. Does it matter?

I clean flashed the full zip. When I try to boot to bootloader, it didn't enter bootloader mode. The system boots, and it's been showing boot animation for more than ten minutes. I'll wait patiently.
BTW, how do you flash twrp while you are in twrp?

Force shutdown the device and entered fastboot, flashed twrp recovery. And now twrp asks me to input password to decrypt data. I have no idea about what the password is. I also got dm-verity error after flashing the full zip. Help needed.

I did a factory reset in twrp, and the system boots well. But unfortunately I lost all my data. Factory reset also formats internal storage?
I have all my photos backed up in google photos. The only loss is the image quality is not original. Anyway it's not end of the world.

Phone stuck at boot animation after flashing factory image

Hi guys,
Today I've decided to update my Nexus 5x to the last Oreo official update.
I've flashed with fastboot the last factory image, and the modified "boot.img" for 4 cores (to avoid bootloop).
The phone booted but it's stuck at the spinning circles animation for almost an hour right now and I don't understand what I did wrong.
Before the flashing, I was running an old version of Pixel Rom (based on nougat)
I haven't used the 4 core boot.img but I do remember it was updated whenever a new image came out. You might check the thread for the 4 core boot.img to make sure you're using the one for the image you flashed.

I'm pretty sure that I've flashed the right boot.img for the factory image I've installed ..
Should I try wiping everything and re-flashing the factory image? How do I do it?
Use the flash-all batch file in the extracted factory image. That will wipe the device and flash all the partitions.

I did that half an hour ago but the phone is still stuck at the boot animation .. Should I try flashing twrp and an unofficial rom based on 8.1? Which is the best rom for the phone at the moment?
Here's what I would try, keep in mind I don't have the boot issue on my 5x so haven't had to face this problem. You may have already done this, but:
Flash each partition of the factory image separately with fastboot.
Then boot into the recovery provided with the 4 core image files, fastboot boot recovery.img (recovery.img is the full name of the recovery.
Copy the 4 core image file to your device while booted in to recovery. I'm assuming the recovery image is a modified version of twrp.
Then flash the boot image file in twrp
Cross your fingers and boot into system. Note that you'll still have the stock recovery (you haven't flashed it yet)
Indeed, the previous post summarizes the correct procedure.
Be sure to grab all the files (factory image, boot image, recovery image) for the last distribution from this post, and follow the previous post.
Flash factory image with flash-all, reboot (should be boot looping, so go to the bootloader), flash boot, flash recovery, wipe cache (not needed, but preferable), reboot and enjoy.
That did the trick for me just yesterday, while I had a similar problem to yours, where I tried flashing the boot image, and the phone was simply showing the animated android dots for hours. I'm not sure which step I missed, but this fixed it immediately (I did not wipe the cache).
Good luck.

I have something to say.. so like.. I tried to put many (ROMS) on my phone (Nexus 5X) right? found out lots of things.. I've bricked my phone, I've currently got a "your phone is currupted, blah blah blah" after I just installed android 6.0.1 very funny, cause it works almost fine... till it just keeps going to the boot animation, and starts... lolll I'm learning.. ill figure it out... just letting you know google.. has currupted (OTA Updates) LMAO, the latest one from them is fine, I'm probably gonna get AEX ROM though after, if I can get it to work (Edit.. like 5 mins later) I'm now flashing android 8.0.1 to install AEX.. I knew I was but didn't know when I was going to...

Bootloop back to twrp

Yesterday i sideloaded the December ota, today i decided im going to unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom kernel. I followed the instructions in the pined post in guides and well, now my pixel wont boot and its booting back to trwp.
What i did was boot twrp.img thru fastboot.
Once twrp booted i flashed the twrp zip, kernel and magisk beta zip.
How do i get out of this bootloop now?
welp, just tried to flash the factory image and got this:
error: failed to load 'image-crosshatch-pq1a.181205.006.zip': Not enough space

No didn't do that.
Okay so fastboot boot twrp.img
Once it boots flash the twrp.zip and magisk
Change to slot b
Flash magisk
Reboot.
Right? What about kernel?

Try just that first and see if you can fully boot the phone.

When you're in TWRP go to reboot, then switch from your current slot to the other.

Be careful with that. I did it bricked the device. It was like there was no system on that slot. I thought it was hard bricked but someone else did the same thing and eventually got it to boot.

I dont know what do now, wont boot, cant enter recovery, apparently there is no system image the only thing i can do is enter fastboot. Never had this much damn trouble with rooting and installing twrp on a device.

I've been doing it all along whenever I flash anything.

You'll have to flash back to stock in fastboot.

First, have you updated your sdk platform tools with the latest fastboot and adb? That's been causing a lot of people problems if they haven't updated them. If you have I would flash the stock boot image to boot slots.
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img. and
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
If that's not enough then flash the system's image to boot slots.

How do i do this now? Flashing boot.img does nothing, phone still wont boot and hands on the boot logo. I cant enter recovery and apply from adb, nor flashing the factory image thru fastboot work, it keeps saying there isnt enough space for the .zip

Do you have the latest sdk platform tools. If not Google that, download the zip and extract it. Replace what you do have. I create a folder c:adb and put everything in that. Then set an environment variable path in Windows so fastboot and adb are available no matter what folder I'm working in.
