You should have read and studied the procedure to unlock the boot loader and flash a custom ROM a bit more carefully!
The step you are missing is that you will need to manually flash the ROM's boot.img in FASTBOOT USB mode.

Boot it into the boot loader by holding the Volume Down key and press the Power button.
Then you can enter FASTBOOT USB mode and flash the boot.img

Yes, so you should be able to select FASTBOOT instead of RECOVERY to flash the boot.img.

As long as you can get into boot loader, you can bring your phone back to life.

I suggest to go back and read the procedure that you used to learn about unlocking via HTCDEV.com and flashing a custom recovery. That thread should have everything you need to know.
You can flash a ROM in your current state, but there is a documented step that you missed about flashing the boot.img file.
Phones Dead or what ?
yeaturday night i was able to access fastboot menu(bios) of android, i left my phone in night and now it doesnt turn on so i did some research as though battery may have got discharged( which was the case ) as was not gettin amber light on.

you can install custom roms on your device...after installing the ROM, do not let the device to boot to the boot animation or whatever you call it..
Instead, boot to the bootloader...enter the fastboot menu (fastboot usb if your phone is already connected to your computer)...open a command prompt/terminal and type fastboot devices. If your device is recognized, the output would be your device's serial number...
Copy the boot.img file from the ROM's .zip file to some folder. open a cmd window in that folder/ navigate to that folder in cmd (if already opened)
type fastboot flash boot boot.img
if the boot.img is successfully flashed, you can reboot your device and you should be able to boot properly.
If you are s-on and unlocked via htcdev method, follow the above steps every time you flash a new rom.
If you are s-off, the above method is not needed. You can flash roms and use them without any hassle...
Hope this helps...

Looks like the battery has discharged completely. Allow the phone to charge for sometime and then try to turn on the device
Thanks Brother

No, there is no need to unzip the zip file in your PC...only the boot.img file is required.
First install the ROM from the custom recovery and then boot into the bootloader by pressing the vol down button while the phone restarts. Then, flash the boot.img and you should be able to boot...

Charge it for an hour or so, then remove the battery, reinsert after 10-15 min and try to turn on the device again...sometimes soft reset works

fastboot reboot in cmd
Sounds like maybe you have hboot 1.54? fastboot boot recovery.img doesn't work on 1.54. Holding volume down and power has 100% success rate for me for rebooting to bootloader.

I have traied a few different recoveryies and fastboot and mfastboot, but I can not get any recovery to ACTUALLY flash to the phone.
It is a XT1053 running 4.4.4. Even when everything says it flashed fine, the recovery is still not there when i try to boot into it.
Any ideas?
Use the Vol+ button to select recovery, not power.

What @nhizzat has said, is the most common mistake.
Beyond that, you don't mention if your bootloader is unlocked or not. I'm guessing it is, otherwise you should get some kind of error from fastboot/mfastboot on your PC.
One other thing that some have run into is... after flashing a recovery, having to reboot into bootloader before trying to enter recovery.... For example...
Start the phone in Fastboot/BootLoader mode and connect it to your PC.
open command prompt file and change to the folder your recovery IMG file resides in.
type the following, pressing enter after each command, and wait for it to finish before going onto the next...
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Note: the recovery could be twrp.img, cwm.img, etc.
The device will reboot then display different BOOT OPTIONS
Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select it.

that is your issue right there after you flash a custom recovery you need to boot into the recovery before letting your phones boot into the OS.
if your phone boots into the OS then the recovery will not stick and you will be back on the stock recovery.
so
1.boot into bootloader
2.flash Custom recovery of your choice
3. make sure the phone does not boot into OS it can reboot back into bootloader and it can reboot into recovery with no issues but if it boots into the Phone OS then you will be back on stock recovery.
hope this helps enjoy
Hey Guys
Whenever I turn on my phone it goes into fastboot mode, I am not sure why.
I have tried using fastboot reboot in adb but it still reboots into bootloader(keep in my mind i don't write reboot bootloader)
I even flashed the stock rom using SP Flash tool but even then I don't seem to have any luck.
I tried holding the upper volume button and the power button but it still doesn't reboot into recovery and just gives me a faint text saying "-> FASTBOOT MODE"
the phone can;t even boot into META Mode
Every and any help at all is appreciated
If you have TWRP recovery, try to install a custom ROM or the Stock Rom , Or try to enter in the fastboot and in the pc you download the ADB and install TWRP for you phone (I solved this problem via this method, You can find tutorial about this in internet) I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to your device (You can starts in the bootloader mode pressing Volume Down and the power key)

Please somebody tell me which is the latest kernel build for RR oreo 8.1.0, for lenovo k6 power.
1. I have successfully requested and unlocked my 4x.
2. I wanted to install: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/rom-2017-08-07lineage-14-1-t3653016
3. First step, install TWRP following this: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredmi4x.html (Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required)
3a. Using version: twrp-3.2.1-0-santoni.img as downloaded from the twrp site
3b. After many reboots and tries, finally get into TWRP. Password not accepted at first, press cancel, get to TWRP menu.
3c. Wipe->Advanced Wipe->System,Cache,Dalvik's/Art cache. Swipe, then get errors. Try again, errors. Press reboot option.
4. 4x OS will not boot. It is stuck in endless cycle of Mi logo, and recovery/TWRP boot (vol+ and power) does not work. Only way to break Mi logo is fastboot (vol- and power).
5. Try to reset phone so I can start entire process (starting at 2) all over again following this: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
5a. Used this version: http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=mido_global&b=X&r=global&n=
5b: Edited the flash_all.bat following this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_osMF9EubhI
5c. Left fastboot mode, device will not power on at all.
And as I type this I realize I put on the "Note 4x" instead of the "4x" version. I should have used this version: http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=santoni_global&b=F&r=global&n=
As a potential next step I've identified: http://en.miui.com/thread-693884-1-1.html
I need some expert guidance at this point. Thank you.
Recovery is both volume keys plus power.
Maybe you should reflash firmware as well(v32).
you can try it
download and install last version ADB https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
enter to TWRP both volume + power. after choose Advanced - ADB Side load .. run it
run command line on PC after: adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
wait while rom will be installed... press Reboot to System (if TWRP don't reboot byself)
wait near 5-10 min for first time rom startmust work.

I have gotten to recovery with just vol+. Regardless, the phone will not turn on from either combination.
vol+ and power ... have menu for reboot to Fastboot and Recovery .. choose it for reboot to TWRP and flash phone or in Fastboot and flash with Miflash

you know,, if you install twrp,, the combination key vol up+power cannot work,,, he work if you hold vol up+vol down+power until MI logo then realease.
This sounds a hard brick to me.
Every replies about Fastboot and Recovery are pointless, because he cannot start the phone in Fastboot.
either it's hard bricked or motherboard stopped working after the wrong flash.
i think you should give it try on test point method once as you have mentioned in this thread (do it on your risk) or you may have to visit service center since any button combination isn't working for you.
what is the status of device when connected to PC or on charge ? is it charging ? does led light blinks ?
I used the guide I posted in OP to fit it, though it wasn't easy. Gonna try lineageOS one more time. Thanks to all who tried to help.
I had this same. I saved my phone using this toturial:

Be careful with the screen and sim tray!
My phone was 100% dead (no fastboot or recovery). I have tried everything before and only that works.
