So I wanted to install lineage OS for this Nokia 6 phone, but in the process of installing something went wrong. Suddenly I couldn't boot into the system (which was expected), and I also couldn't go to recovery either. Not twrp, not even the stock recovery. I can still go to the bootloader with fastboot tho and issue commands. I also tried re-flashing the firmware on the phone, but that doesn't help. Is my phone bricked? How can I fix this? Thanks.
Edit: The bootloader is unlocked.

I have unlocked bootloader, flash modified boot.img and recovery but when I boot the device I get 'Your device is corrupt and may not work properly' I then get stuck on the google boot screen. When I go into TWRP recovery it cannot mount anything so I cannot even perform a factory reset.
Please help
did you make a back up?
I didn't unfortunately, I can get into recovery and as long as I leave it as 'Read-Only' it seems to mount everything. I think I need to get a stock image.
Resolved - used a Toolkit to go completely back to stock, kind of scared to try again now.
Follow directions and that won't happen again. Make sure you are on the correct version MDB08K BEFORE you start (you have the OTA), format not wipe in TWRP and you won't get caught in the boot loop.
Failing to do those two things will put you in a boot loop.
What toolkit did you use because i myself have this issue with my nexus 6p

That warning is normal, and should be ignored if you want unlocked bootloader, custom ROMs, etc.
Here TWRP couldn't mount because you forgot to decrypt after flashing the modified boot.img.
If you have further issues, let me know.
A quick advise - Avoid toolkits. They are handy and easy, but if something goes wrong, it will be hard to track down the cause. On the contrary, doing thing manually, will not only make it easy, but will also help you learn more about your Android, and how it works.
While on a developer preview of Android N with my unlocked rooted phone and TWRP 3.0.2-1, I accidentally ran the September OTA. The OTA failed, but left a mess behind with the phone rebooting 4-5 times a day.
Today, I decided to fix the problem, so I flashed the latest official image (NRD90U). Complete wipe, but since I have backups, I considered it to be no big deal. Turns out it was
The phone is now a boot loop (corrupt warning -> google logo -> corrupt warning -> google logo...). Reflashing changes nothing. Trying to boot (fastboot boot) TWRP (any version) does not work (it just goes into the boot loop). Tried to downgrade back to 6, same problem. Nothing seems to work.
Somehow, something is still ****ed up on the phone, but I have no idea what. This seems to be very similar to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/help-help-help-hard-bricked-6p-t3428225/page3), but there does not seem to be a solution.
Is it definitely bricked or is there anything I can do from fastboot to try and fix this? I am unlocked. I just need a stupid TWRP so I can restore my backup and hopefully get back to a working state from there.
PS: I'm sure I downloaded the right image and flashed it properly.
I'll try to summarise it.
Unlocked my bootloader.
Tried rooting by flashing twrp and then installing supersu (i think i installed a corrupted version, as my phone did not go past the logo).
Deleted all system and cache to install lineageos, hoping it would fix it. It did, but i was unable to use my mobile data.
So i tried flashing the stock firmware for my phone ( H87020f_00_EEO_GB_OP_0817.kdz ) using uppercut, as LGUP did not recognise my phone.
Both twrp recovery and lineage were deleted.
It's back to the old boot sequence for LG phones but it gets stuck at the LG Logo "LG Lifes's Good".
The boot up sequence is, Bootloader unlocked message>LG G6 ThinQ>"Erasing">Bootloader unlocked message>LG G6 ThinQ>LG Logo. and it just stays there, tried waiting for 3 hours (i fell asleep), and it was still stuck.
I seriously need any help i can get for fixing this. I know that i'm an idiot for not backing anything up.
Fixed it

I fixed it, i installed the oldest version of the stock firmware using uppercut and now its working again. That was easier than i thought.
Hi,
I Wanted to Install A Custom ROM Into My Oneplus 5 So I Flashed It Via TWRP Recovery And I Alslo Rooted My Phone To Do So, Then After A Few Days I Was Tired Of My Custom ROM And Wanted To Revert Back To The Orignal, So I Flashed My Orignal ROM To My Device And When I Tried To Relock The Bootloader Through Fastboot. Once Done, My device Refuses To Boot And Displays The Following Message: "Your Device Is Corrupt. It Can't Be Trusted And Will Not Boot".
Then I Got Very Scared And Unlocked The Bootloader Again + Wiped Everything (Including System) + Flashed TWRP Recovery + Flashed (Via TWRP Sideload) a Previous Version Of Oxygen OS And The Booted It Once Again Everything Went Fine And When I Tried Relocking The Bootloader The Device Once Again Started To Show The Same Message Again !!
I Have Lost Every Single Hope Of Recovering My Device Except You Guys.
Any Thought On How I Can Resolve?
Thanks!

Why do you want to relock it? Life is better with Magisk and Blu_Spark in my opinion.
If you want your bootloader to be locked I find it easiest to use the MSM tool (hard brick recovery). It'll wipe your phone but restore it to a like new out of the box condition, just choose a firmware.
Cheers!?

How about you try the MSM Tool to start again from scratch.

I have a Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1. I had its bootloader unlocked in a phone repair shop (by shorting testpoint).
Now it always greets me with the message "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted".
I can load the boot into the bootloader and I can flash TWRP (I tried 3.4.0 and 3.3.1 from DarkJoker360 and also the one from Pretoriano80).
I am also able to flash system images, for example LineageOS from DarkJoker360.
At first that seemed to work to some extent: the new system kept crashing but at least it was booting.
I tried again and again and at some point I wiped everything but the sdcard using TWRP (that is, including the vendor partition). I suspect that's what I did wrong, because presently I can no longer boot into the ROM I am flashing. Instead, the phone waits for a few seconds, then vibrates once and restarts. The second time, it boots into "Huawei eRecovery" (where I can "Download latest version and recovery", "Wipe data/factory reset", "Reboot" or "Shutdown"). I am afraid of attempting to go back to the stock ROM as I wouldn't want the bootloader to become locked again.
Since I can still boot into both the bootloader and the recovery, I have hope I can recover. But I don't know how.
Does anyone understand what happened (and could explain)?
Also, does anyone know how I could boot into the ROM again?
Never mind. I went back to stock. Also, the bootloader became locked again during the process, so I will not try again.
