I've already rooted, installed fire flash, flashed 2nd boot loader and twrp, flashed cm11. My question is do I have to do the 2nd boot loader thing through fire flash again if I want to flash a new ROM or can I just go straight to recovery and wipe and flash?
You just go straight into recovery and flash it, ROMs overwrite the boot.IMG that gets flashed in the original process anyways and the stack override is reapplied by the ROM's update-tools script so all is good. In layman's terms, just flash the new ROM from twrp, just clear your cache and dalvik cache when you flash.

Unlocked bootloader with fastboot oem unlock
Rooted phone with fastboot by pushing a boot img to it(bexboot.v2.GRK39F_OTA)
Downloaded ics.zip(the partition scheme for ics based roms)
downloaded aokp passion ics rom
downlaoded gapps
Flashed all of them in cwm
But when i boot, it just stays at the aokp unicorn screen.
So far ive gotten back to point A again.
1.) put passimg.zip on sdcard, rebooted with power+down, it restored to stock 2.3.6
2.) Used bexboot boot.img to give me root - http://code.google.com/p/bexboot/
3.) installed rom manager, flashed cwm recovery
4.) Installed Blockrose, via blackrose.exe
5.) booted into cwm, installed ics.zip(which should partition the hboot/blackrose), installed the aokp zip, and the gapps, rebooted.
Stuck on unicorn logo screen again....
I think i need some help now...one thing i noticed, theres no more LOCK icon
1.did you wipe all partitions except sd before and after installing the hboot zip?
2.are you sure that your hnoot partition was changed after applying ics.zip?

First questions:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Safestrap? Clockworkmod?)
If your bootloader is LOCKED, unlock it using Myth Tools.
If your bootloader is UNLOCKED, and you do not have a custom recovery, download Clockworkmod and install it (boot your phone into fastboot mode then shift-click inside the folder you extracted the recovery.img to and click "Open command window here" and type the command posted in the thread).
If your bootloader is LOCKED or UNLOCKED and you have Safestrap installed, boot into SS and delete any ROM slots you have made (do not delete the stock slot), then uninstall the recovery through the app, then uninstall the app itself. Now follow the instructions above to install Clockworkmod.
If your bootloader is UNLOCKED and you have Clockworkmod, boot into CWM and follow the instructions on the ROM's XDA page.
Same problem
Same problem here. My MB886 is definitely unlocked, CWM and recovery are installed. Attempted to install Holoblur v.9 Performance from stock 4.1.1. Followed the directions including a format of /system but it hangs during boot every time. Restored stock rom via CWM, loaded latest CM 10.2 nightly build temporarily but ultimately hope to switch to Holoblur when I have more time to work on it.

I think the Performance version was broken for some people, have you tried the Tuned version?
Just flash tuned version then flash PurePerformance mod over it. Voila. (I got a link in my sig).

What about mounting the system before installing the rom?

Are you rooted? If you are, use Root Explorer to change the file named install-recovery.sh to recovery.sh.bak and flash CWM via fastboot using the command fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img.
Hey guys,
I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" (Tate) and installed a second boot loader and TWRP recovery. I installed CM11 but actually preferred the Amazon Fire OS. I tried to restore my backup from TWRP recovery, but I think it restored the boot partition badly. It now just flashes the Orange kindle fire logo, then reboots and does the same thing again and reboots etc. etc. Is there a way I can restore a Stock Fire Os Rom from my PC now or get into fastboot and re flash the boot loader (The files are in the downloads folder)
Thanks!
Could someone please suggest something? Even telling me it's unfixable and I've got a perma-brick would be helpful. Thanks!

Don't worry,it's fixable. Though you'll need a fastboot cable. Then you can restore it. And I recommend using CM since Amazon OS makes problems with the 2nd boot loader.

Thanks for this SafinWasi, do you know where I could get a FastBoot cable??? (I live in the UK) I know how to use FastBoot as I've had to use it before when I flashed the wrong recovery image
Just purchase a fastboot cable via eBay and use kfft restore tool
So I basically flashed a modem.zip file that was for 5.1 on my 4.4.4 Moto X. Yup, I'm dumb, I know.
So now I'm stuck on boot loops and I'm trying to figure out how to flash the stock firmware using Fastboot.
I can put my phone in fastboot mode but as soon as I hit recovery to go to TWRP it just boot loops so Recovery is not an option for me. Any help or useful links would help. Thanks!
EDIT: I was finally able to get into TWRP. I wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and everything returned to normal.
If your bootloader unlocked.... You should be able to just flash the appropriate modem using fastboot. Or flash all of 5.1 via fastboot or rsd lite

I'm not very into phones, but I wanted to make my HTC to wake by double tapping the screen. I've learned that to be able to do that, I have to use a custom kernel, like Bulletproof, and to install a custom kernel, I must first unlock my bootloader (which I've managed to do so on htcdev.com), and then flash TWRP on my phone. There wasn't any problem flashing TWRP, my phone worked just fine. But then I installed Bulletproof kernel on my phone, rebooted it, and after the HTC logo my phone just resets, and goes into recovery mode (TWRP). I've tried installing other kernel, called ElementalX, but the problem is the same. I've also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/orig-development/kernel-stock-reset-kernel-m7-gpe-t2963290 guide to install stock kernel, but after booting it just shows the htc logo and does nothing else. My phone was running Lollipop 5.0.1.
Please help! And sorry for my bad English.
You're on official stock 5.0.2? how did you install the custom kernel? I installed elementalx when I was on nusenseven sense 7 ROM and I didn't have any problems. Did you flash the right zip file for your Android version and then wipe cash and dalvik/ART cash?
What version of twrp are you on? I recommend flashing twrp 3.0.0
Did you make a full nandroid backup using the custom recovery before you flashed the kernel? If yes just restore it.
If no, try wiping cash and dalvik/art cash then reboot. If that doesn't work I'd flash the latest twrp then copy your valuable files from your phone to a USB using twrp's native file manager because you'll probably have to wipe everything in order to fix your phone.
If non of the above works, go to fastboot and type fastboot getvar all. Then post the result here after deleting your imei and serial No.

Probably flashed the wrong version for his rom version, like you suggested. Most kernel issues can easily be solved simply by flashing back the stock kernel, no need to restart from scratch. If he did a backup, simply restore the boot partition, wipe caches and reboot
