Just remember to take a nandroid backup and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing.
Most common Soft brick happen when there's conflict due to different gapps package , which is solved by wiping data and system.

Go to recovery (Home+Power button simultaneously while switching on the phone) and wipe cache and factory reset the phone! This resolves the issue most of the times.. If he's still stuck at bootloop, flash a stock rom via odin!
Anyway, how did he get bootloop?

Usually it gets resolved if you go into recovery, then do a cache wipe + factory reset.
If the problem persists, then reflash the rom as well.
Be careful that you reboot at least once before flashing anything else (e.g. scripts,etc.)

download the rom
transfer to internal storage
boot 2 TWRP(2.6.3.3)
wipe-- advanced wipe-- wipe dalvik cache, system, data, cache
install
choose rom
swipe to flash
finished.
btw, very unlikely that a hardbrick can occur unless ur on low charge nd the phone conks off in the middle of installation

Well i will need to search properly. But a wipe is usually recommended when you are installing a new rom. It is NECESSARY when you are switching roms which have a different base. Like Stock Android based ROMs like Cyanogenmod to Sense based ROMs like ARHD or vice versa.
P.S. If you think that i helped you, please hit the thanks button

Flashing other roms than Andro X doesn't work

I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?
Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.
Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

Use easy installer first and get stock lollipop then u can simply root and install recovery then try roms?

My problem is that when i try to flash roms like CM12, Blisspop it doesn't stop booting, it was taking more than an hour so i shutdown my phone and when i flashed Andro X the booting took around 3mins.
So can anyone explain in easy steps how to fix this?
OK now I understand what your problem is. Give me your full specs (like which Model and and stuff). But if you follow what I said above it might fix your problem.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.

Having issues trying to flash anything. Would appreciate some help from a pro.

So I am trying to flash the nougat CM, but it keeps on failing. My moto x is currently on the 6.0 brazil firmware that was leaked almost a year ago. I flashed that firmware and then flashed US radios. That is where my device currently stands. After failing to flash CM 14 I tried to flash CM 13 so that maybe I could take that path to CM 14. However, that has failed as well. So then I tried to flash official 6.0 from motorola to at least get back onto 1097 firmware. No go. I am literally unable to flash anything. I have flashed the most current version of TWRP via fastboot, but thats about as far as I'm able to get. The bootloader is also unlocked. I would really appreciate somebodies time to help me out with this if they could. Thank you.
I assume you are at least doing the default wipe with twrp (data, dalvick and cache)? You may need to wipe even more though. What exactly is happening when you try to flash the zip with twrp?
And after full wipe (cache, dalvik, data AND system), make a factory reset of your phone. (Wipe->Swipe to Factory Reset)
After all try flashing again and you will have no problems.

Yes I have wiped. It says "error 7" when trying to flash CM 14 when I tried flashing the stock moto 1097 firmware it said something about signed Android version from Google or something.

I have factory reset a couple times. Still no go.
I think I'll find the thread that had a guide on how to flash the Brazilian firmware that I'm on and see if there's an accompanying guide on reverting back and go from there. Worse case I brick it. Time for a new phone anyway. Lol.

Wipe data/Factory reset

Hello,
Could I brick my device if I run the wipe data/factory reset?
My device is root, thanks

Generally no. You will likely loose root.
I do not care about root (could I do it again), so it can be safer than flashing a recovery?

Can't boot or flash a custom recovery on this device. What are you attempting to fix/accomplish?
I finally flashed the device after that I did run the wipe date thing, cause kingroot wasnt working well...
Now I am root again.
I'm afraid to remove some application system again because I had to flash the rom twice for this reason... Althogh I think it is not so necessary if installing Nova Launcher, how I did, apps/pages systems are a bit llitle more hidden now.
I were searching to find a tutorial about than ones apps system could be removes and than ones not, but it isnt so important now for me.
