[Q] When do I flash boot.img?

Hi.
I've got a problem. In all of the tutorials I read about how to flash ROM:s, it says that I have to flash boot.img through fastboot, then enter recovery and flash the ROM. I can not do this. When I flash the boot.img, I can not enter recovery or anything, I get stuck in a bootloop and have to restore through flashtool. When I flashed Taylor_Swift's 4.3 ROM, I flashed the ROM first and then the boot.img, it worked, I got up and running, but after that I couldn't enter recovery and therefore not obtain root access, making the ROM almost useless because the lack of the Battery Calibration app. Now I want to flash the PAC ROM, but I'm not sure how to do with the boot.img part. If it's relevant I have the lockeddualrecovery as my recovery.
Help please

No special order, really, as long as the kernel (boot.img) is fully compatible with the rom.
I'd flash PAC boot.img first though. Flash boot.img, then enter recovery and flash the zip containing the rom information.

Usually you should flash the boot.img that came inside the rom's zip and it should have a recovery,than you will have to install the rom from the recovery.
Don't forget to factory reset/wipe data inside the recovery.

[Q] What recovery do I need to flash 4.4 ROMs?

I know last time I tried flashing a 4.4 ROM I would get some error because of some weird compatibility thing with CWM or TWRP or something like that. I don't remember which recovery it was that I needed that would let me flash, I'm trying to flash beanstalk

You should flash the boot.img from the rom zip using fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the rom.
I would advise doing a lot more research of how to flash custom roms and how to fix potential problems before continuing on any further as it will save you time in the future in case of any problems.

Flash a ROM via Fastboot

Hello,
I've got a HTC One which is having trouble. When I flash teh latest TWRP or CWM recovery it says ''Entering Recovery'' goes black screen then goes back to Entering Recovery''. But when I install the old version of TWRP it works??
Anyway... I've deleted everything via TRWP by mistake so I've no ROM installed. I'm trying to push the zip but no luck, so I'm wondering If I can flash a ROM via ''Fastboot'' instead of installing through ''Recovery''

You can't flash a rom from fastboot, only in recovery mode. The only thing you can flash in fastboot mode are RUU, Firmware and recovery.
What os the recovery version that was booting fine? What version of TWRP are you trying to install now? What rom do you want to flash? Do you have erased cache and rebooted the bootloaded after flashing the recovery?

Custom Recovery for XT1096 after official bootloader unlock?

Is there a guide to installing a custom recovery and ROM to the XT1096 now after the official bootloader unlock? I just did it and wanna play around with new ROMs now.

Before you do anything with your phone, download and keep the stock firmware for it, in case something goes wrong, or you lose signal:

I guess there's only stock 5.1 for the XT1096 (Verizon?).
You will also need ADB and Fastboot to flash custom recovery or stock firmware.
The Moto X 2014 is called Victara, this is the TWRP custom recovery for it:
https://dl.twrp.me/victara/
You flash it in Bootloader Mode, using Fastboot, like this:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-victara.img
(This is just an example, you might want to flash a different version, or recovery)
Then you boot into recovery immediately after flashing it, so it doesn't get overwritten by the stock firmware.
Then you can copy the ROM and Gapps zip files to the phone, and flash them by tapping Install in TWRP.
