I installed CyanogenMod 5.0 last night and when i was finished flashing and turned the phone back on it stayed on the animation screen for about 15 minutes then i just pulled the battery (usually boots to OS much faster). Is this expected when updating the ROM?
if you can boot up into bootloader, then you are ok...did u do a backup b4 flashing?
Yes i can get into bootloader and I followed every step on.

If you can get back into the bootloader then you're fine, make sure you followed the steps correctly, if you did a nandroid backup first like you should have then try recoverying that and see if you can boot. The first time you flash a rom it usually takes a while to boot. Luckily you didn't pull it during the radio flash or you would be SOL.

I dont think i did nandroid backup, but i can get into bootloader, should i do the whole process over and do a nandroid backup this time?
Wipe your phone.
Flash the ROM, then flash the google add on in his thread.
Reboot.
Go back to recovery.
Make a nandroid.
Reboot.

Ok, So I used the gfree method to fully unlock the g2. (SuperCID, SimUnlock, etc etc) Now, I tried to flash the stock rom and it errored out on me. So I wiped data/cache/dalvik and just tried to restore my nand backup of CM. Once restore was complete, phone keeps boot looping. Any ideas?
Edit: Nevermind. I wiped again and did another restore of CM and it took it this time for some reason. Dont know why it didnt the first time but im unbricked as of now.
I attempted to flash a Liquid Smooth rom yesterday. I rebooted into the bootloader, and chose recovery mode. I wiped all cache, then installed the zip. I followed this by installing the gapps zip immediately, which I think I shouldn't have done.
When I rebooted it, it was stuck on the liquid smooth screen for a while, I know this is normal, but when it sat there for an hour and fifteen minutes I knew something was wrong. If I hold down both volume keys and the power button I can reboot into the bootloader again, but when I now choose recovery mode, it gets stuck on the google load screen.
Can anybody help me out?

Plug the N7 into your PC before you boot into the bootloader.
You were correct to flash gapps immediately after flashing the ROM. Maybe the ROM didn't flash correctly because you only wiped caches. If you are coming from a different ROM you will need to do a factory reset. If you didn't back up your apps and don't have a nandroid, then you might want to wipe caches, format system, and reflash the previous ROM and try to boot in and backup your apps. Might not work but worth a shot if you got stuck where you are now with no app backups.

Wow, that didn't even cross my mind, I did this and I've got the rom up and running now. Thanks a lot.
UPDATE: After completely wiping everything(recovery, ROM, bootloader, etc), and putting it back in with fastboot I no longer have this problem. My recovery probably just got corrupted or something while getting sent over to the device.
Got my Nexus 7 3 days ago, had it unlocked and all that jazz within the hour(thanks to the people who put the stuff together). It's great, but I have a problem with flashing .zip files in recovery. It doesn't matter what type of thing I'm wanting to flash(ex-kernel,rom, or even the uber-simple 720p camera mod), if I don't do a full wipe before flashing, then it just ends up boot looping my device. The boot loop doesn't turn the phone all the way off, just the boot animation. Sometimes the launcher will pop up for half a second and then go back to the boot animation.
For example, whenever I flashed the rasbeanjelly rom, I first flashed that, then rebooted(got excited and forgot about gapps) and checked it out. Remembering about gapps, I went back to recovery and flashed gapps. Then it boot looped the animation. After flashing gapps again(trying different combos of wiping cache/davlik), I flashed the rasbeanjelly rom again, and then gapps immediately afterwards. Still a bootloop. So I did a full wipe(including data this time), sideloaded my .zips, and then it flashed and rasbeanjelly booted up with gapps just fine.
This exact same problem has been happening with every .zip that I try to flash(running TWRP, yes all my stuff is updated). If I want to flash a kernel, I have to flash it when I flash my ROM or else I'll get boot loop. I can't really make any modifications without having to completely wipe my device(which is annoying because I carry a lot of data around on my stuff)
I'm asking if there is a way to flash a .zip without having to completely wipe my device. I'm not a noob to android at all(ROM cooker over at androidforums), but I can't figure it out, I'd love to make stuff for the grouper but this is kind of a big roadblock for me. Logcat isn't helping either. Hopefully I just skimmed over something and it's a simple fix. Thank you for your tips/suggestions/solutions.
EDIT: forgot to mention something. When I flash a new ROM and get it going, I always make a full backup in recovery. If I flash something, and boot loop it, I can't restore it correctly. Recovery says that it restores all good, but it still boot loops(even though I just restored a backup of a non-boot looping system from no more than 5 minutes ago).
If I read your post correctly, you've only tried this on one ROM. Try the same thing on CM10 or PA or whatever you want.

I've actually used several, and it seems to be happening on all of them. I've tried flashing things with PA, CM10, Stock, and RasberryJelly. The kernels I have attempted to flash have been Trinity, Motley, and Franco. All with no success and boot looping me :/
Okay heres what happened: I was attempting to flash a ROM. After making a new backup and flashing that new ROM the device would not boot. So like any normal person would do I then went back into recovery and attempted to restore my backup. Upon restoring the backup, halfway through the device just decides to reboot and boot into the ROM (which was a half restored backup). I tried to boot back into recovery and start the process over however now the device will not boot into the recovery at all. It continues to loop the bootloader logo over and over. Is this a soft brick? Either way, all I want at this point is to be able to restore that backup so I can atleast have it working again. All help is much appreciated.
EDIT: okay i managed to get the recovery loaded, what i may end up doing is loading a saved ROM up and starting from scratch there (TWRP continues to Stop my restore halfway through and reboot the recovery --very frustrating tbh). My question then however would be is there a way to get my data back from my backup once I start fresh? Does tibu allow this or something comparable? I really don't want to lose all that data. Thanks again.
Edit 2: managed to fully resolve issue. delete if neccessary.

How did you get back into recovery? I had paranoid android flashed and i did a factory reset like an idiot. Now i cant boot into recovery - "teamwin" logo freezes and reboots into a continuous loop. I can get into the bootloader but nothing works?

I'll tell you what I literally did.
When the device was bootlooping the teamwin logo, I booted into fastboot and powered my device completely off. I then waited an hour as I was a little tired with what was happening to take care of something. After that hour I turned it on and it suddenly booted into teamwin recovery. That's exactly all I did. So what I would do is turn the device off for a little bit then try to see if it boots the recovery. If not you will likely have to use the nexus 10 toolkit to reflash the recovery.
Hope that helps.

Thanks mate! really appreciate it! I have no clue what i did but on one of the reboots, it booted into TWRP and i re-flashed the paranoid android rom and gapps and it worked.
Thanks for above response. Much appreciated!
Just for future reference, both TiBU and ROM Toolbox will restore from a Nandroid backup.

So I am in this same boat and will probably have to use some toolkit since I have not been able to boot up TWRP. I know I am on 2.4.4.0 or something for TWRP, not 2.5 but would CWM be a better choice since I have run into this now a couple of times? This is the first where it hasn't stopped the recovery boot loop.
It first started this morning when my phone suddenly started rebooting while I was using it. Then I thought it as a ROM issue and flashed a new ROM over it. Everytime I try to flash something on system. TWRP Hangs and the phone restarts itself.
Tried repairing data, system partitions from TWRP, same thing happens. Bootloops when I try to repair data partition
Tried restoring nandroid backup. When it says flashing data, TWRP freezes and the phone starts bootlooping.
Can anyone help?
I have tried doing the EFS flash via adb from PC.
I'm stuck with the exact same problem since months.

No luck?
Have you tried Claiming Warranty?
try doing a re flash of recovery, because your issue will be to get your recovery working properly or else you cant remount anything else.

I flashed TWRP 3.0.2,3.0.2-2,3.0.2-3
Loads of it. Tried doing full stock + unroot from Nexus toolkit. That usually fixed all my problems Everytime I was in dire problems like this.

I've never used that toolkit. Since day 1, ive used skipsoft android toolkit. just keep on trying. Does it crash at all when doing backups?

Doesn't crash during backup but crashes during restore.

Well in your case what I would do is a backup,
Then wipe, flash custom rom. Use phone til reboot.
If reboot, flash stock IMG. Use till reboot
If still rebooting, then come back. I guess I never asked.what rom.your using

it doesn't boot at all.
It bootloops
I have the exact same problem. Last week upgraded to 7.0, root, stock room, viper4arise audio and EX kernel and that's it. while taking pictures it froze then that boot loop, somehow I managed through a combination of flashing factory image through fastboot, locking, unlocking, reflahsing, to get it to boot normally, then yesterday I was taking pictures again and it refroze then bootloops. Now I am able to fastboot factory images but it doesn't get me out of the bootloops, and in TRWP same as you, I cannot flash anything on data or system. Repairing the file system doesn'T change anything, I did like on other threads also and flashed factury, restored nandroid then flash factory but the restore on TRWP always hangs up.
I was wondering if there is someone knowing the adb dd commands to impose the raw copying back of the restore ? Maybe that would work.
Did you try wiping system under wipe > advanced in TWRP?
In twrp, can you open a terminal and check the results of this (basically, doing a full read-only test of your flash)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null
