We are not your servant!
The way you are asking is difficult to agree with.
I let you get needed skill with Google search.You get so many existing topics.
If you don't want to mess up your device, just use it as it was intended. Don't unlock the bootloader, don't install custom recovery, don't install custom ROMs, don't install Magisk or other root solutions.

For now there is no know way to unbrick the device other then a Authorize account from mi. You need to have a Authorize account or need to visit service center. Best way to not brick your device by double checking everything your going to do.
The only way to answer the question the way it was asked is:
If you have a bootloop, you made something wrong before.
It doesn't make sense to list here now every single thing that could lead you to a bootloop or a bricked phone.
When you are in such a situation, open a thread, write all possible details what you have done before the bootloop/brick, and hope someone could help. ?
First and most important thing: be sure if you have curtana or joyeuse device and be sure that the thing you wanna put on your device IS for that model.
I think that's a good start, cause Xiaomi still messing up the names of their different devices ?
But as written before, if you wanna be safe, don't play around with your device with rooting, flashing custom firmwares etc. ?

Thank you for that warm reply.
Yes indeed you are not my servent. But neither are those who make roms for us. And about that Google search . I have seen a lot of confusion like flashing wrong rom or not formatting data etc caused a issue. So I just wanted to know what went wrong with specific instructions of what not to do.

Okay I understand now. I think I will have to wait until a proper unbrick tutorial is out.
I have bricked a joyeuse it does not enter through any bootloader. I brickie it by loading twrp. By EDL gives; Sahara Fail Error In QFIL / Miflash Authorized Account I have tried loading all kinds of ROMs... Obviously I still need to test the one that works Help please! Thanks!
You need authorised account ie. you need to pay someone with that account to do the edl flashing.

Unlocking the bootloader will allow you flash different Custom roms(beta of CM9(ICS) is already out) and kernels.Check the development section for roms and decide if u want to use custom roms or want to stay on the stock.
Precision !

I have another question interested? What happens if I flash a ROM without having unlocked the bootloader?
In fact I did it!
And from the device tells me "failed boot 2!" It is because I have not unlocked the bootloader before? And what can I do now? I know it but i'm not sure!
If you want to help me, do not hesitate.

After unlocking you have to flash a custom recovery and your ready to install custom ROMs

Actually it was constructive. If you had read the guide per another poster's advice, you would not have then been back asking how to get out of trouble because you chose to ignore the given advice!
There is plenty of good help given and offered on XDA, but it's the people who ignore the help/advice, forge ahead blindly, then expect the forum members to fix their screw ups because now they suddenly choose to listen to the advice who really make it difficult to keep a positive attitude.
Nuff said!

So if we follow the reasoning.
Read the post. And if you're wrong, too bad for you.
it is a beautiful spirit.
I prefer to say "to err is human" but we are here to help. The best thing is to learn from mistakes (but I'm sure you've never made a mistake). And I must say thanks to those who helped me. I will not make the same mistake.
I can even help those who have made the same mistake without insulting them.
And the kind of comments like yours do not learn.
Now I think the discussion can't stop there! And as we say at home: "A bonne entendeur salut!"
Galadiel, I don't believe that is what happened here. The way this conversation unfolded, your messages started off asking a philosophical question "Why is it desired to unlock the bootloader?" and very quickly turned into "Help, I tried it but something went wrong." From your description, the specific problem you had is a well-documented issue that is described in the instructional link you were given to read, including how to fix it.
There are a lot of people trying to modify their phones. That's why the tutorials exist. Your posts sounded dismissive of the help offered to you, and not surprisingly, you got some annoyed responses in return.
----------
Okay then. Are you still having the "Failed to boot" screen appear after flashing the .sbf file with RSD Lite? Have you resolved your situation, or do you still need help?

I say again. Thank you everyone for your help. I read all your advice and went to read the posts that you advised. All this was very helpful.
I know it.I have been impatient. And I made a mistake. But I prefer a real help instead of infertile reprimands.
Again: thank you all for your help. Thanks to you I understand why and how.

And if it does not work I hope you will help me again.
Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

Yes. There are dozens, if all you wanted me to do was provide a link to a more comprehensive guide, why don't you just learn how to use Google for yourself?

Most of these guides will contain everything you need to know to get started.

Believe me, I tried, but there are so many options, also, I've now decided to opt for a locked virgin i9100 bcause it was 50 bucks more for a new phone with the warranty, so what's the best way to unlock one? I think I recall a free app.
Hi,
I'm an stock brazilian atrix(mb860) owner on version 2.3.6 Stock and Locked. I don't know much for this flashing things, but I really want to have this rom on my device.
But I'm really confused on the procedures... What do I need to do?
Remember that my device is completly stock(locked and no rooted).
Thanks guys.
Hello there fella, please check this thread if you haven't done, it might point you in the right direction

I suppose the first question is, are you on mac, pc or linux.
But either way... here's the simplified answer.
Your first step is to unlock your boot loader.
It's not hard once you know how.
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Follow the steps EVEN if your on gingerbread.
Then follow this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
There's some other ways to do this on mac too... but that stuff can certainly point you in the right direction....
I hadn't touched a motorola before, and I found it all easy. Bought it literally yesterday and had it all done last nite within an hour.

If i'd seen this post before I dug thru about 30+ posts last nite and the week before it would have saved me tons of time.
Mind you, I had the benefit of hacking HTC & Samsung in the past so I wasn't a complete noob in need of terminology descriptions. Either way, well done on the post jhonnyx.

I've searched and searched for a proper guide to do this, but without look. Somehow Google are not able to distinguish between the standard X and X+. Does anyone here have a guide thats broken down in all steps? I've never rooted my Android phone before, so need all the basics.

Given that you are recognized contributor, I am surprised that you did not look into general section. We have threads for different things. Anyway I will try to answer you questions
1. You need to download full zip of 2.2.0 and flash that. You can restore to stock. Or simply backup your current oos using twrp, restore only system and boot, you will have stock.
2. Yes, here is the link
3. cm12.1 by master awesome is pretty stable.
4. Rooting/flashing does not void warranty for oneplus, however if you damage anything, I am not sure if it will be covered.
P.S. always have backup of stock and efs. Do not miss this step.
