Got a new mod or a new flashable zip ? Just installed it and Got bootloop ?
Don't worry here there are few way to recover from it.

# This thread is created cuz few members don't know there is file manager present in recovery and few don't know how to use it.

First step for all process
# Open recovery
# Mount > System
# Return to home screen in recovery
# Advanced > file manager

Flashable zip gone wrong
# unzip the flashable zip file
# checkout what files it has
# now open System and checkout the same files in flashable zip
# delete the files that are present in flashable zip in the system partition.
# Reboot

Manually installed app using file manager with rw-r-r permission
# open the recovery file manager and open the place where you placed the app
# Just delete it
# Reboot

Build prop
# edited the build prop ? Now got stuck in bootloop?
# open recovery file manager > system > build.prop > delete
# copy the original build.prop and paste it in the > System
# Reboot

Disclaimer:
# I'm not responsible for any damage to your device.
# Proceed at your own risk
# This method does not works in all condition
# in case if a file is over written in system and you delete it - it can also cause bootloop.
# Proceed with caution.
