This image is known to work. I hope you verified image integrity (the 'gpg --with-fingerprint xenial-pine64-*.xz.asc' stuff) and checked your SD card? Next step I would do would be to either measure available voltage when booting (Euler connector pins 2 and 9 or 4 and 6) or directly power the board through these pins.
I had boot endless bootloops just recently at second 15 a few days ago. The culprit was a connected keyboard with an optical mouse plugged in which seems to behave badly regarding power peak consumption. And I was also powering the board through an AWG24 rated cable (not the usual ultra short AWG20 cable). So I would assume at this stage maybe a bit more happens, then consumption increases, voltage drops, boot fails.

I'll never understand when the Pine64 guys start to warn regarding well known issue N° 2 that prevents booting: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=514
It's such a common issue that this should be addressed with a FAQ entry and not some post hidden somewhere inside a weird forum full of the same questions again and again.
