Help!!!my nexus can't boot after upgrade

Hi. I used the baked goods 1.1 rom and I tried to make an upgrade to CM 5.0.5.2 via ROM manager (market application) which uses the clockwordmod recovery image. Since then I can't boot on nexus!!I can boot into fastboot and recovery but not in menu!I changed the recovery image with amon-RA's, I tried to recover it via Nandroid backup (i had one) nothing.I can load anything (recovery image,roms) correctly but after reboot it stucks on splash screen...Please tell me that I didn't brick it
EDIT:Thank god solved! i have to flash the cm 5.0.5 first not directly the 5.0.5.2

Exactly, it's a known issue that's been said in tons of posts.
Glad you solved it.

Weird...I haven't tried...but read the change log for 5.2 and it said that the Boot issue was resolved.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery after flashing new CW 3.0.2.4 recovery help!!!

So... I was rooted using gfree method and had recovery 2.5.1.4 installed running the ice glacier rom. Then I decided i was going to upgrade to a gingerbread rom so I updated my rom manager and flashed the new CW 3.0.2.4 rom and now it wont boot into recovery. When I try to boot into recovery it shows the mytouch logo for a bit, the screen turns black and the phone reboots. I tried to flash the old recovery again but I get an error message saying: An error occurred while flashing your recovery. I can still flash CW 3.0.2.4 and CW 3.0.0.5 but both will not boot into recovery.
I also tried flashing the 3.0.2.4 recovery manually through fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but I still get the same problem. I couldn't find an active download link for the 2.5.1.4 recovery to try to flash manually so I don't know if it helps to do this.
I read on the forum somewhere to revert back to stock recovery using the stock PD15IMG IMG file and try again. This took me back to stock and I was able to boot into the stock recovery. Then i reran visionary for permroot again, deleted my clockworks folder from my sdcard and tried again, but the problem came back.... Mytouch logo then black screen then auto reboot.
My root access still works fine but I cant get into recovery to flash a new rom.... and now I am stuck on a stock rom. :[ After 6 hours of trying to fix the issue I'm still very confused.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated Thanks.

Yes, from Hboot and from rom manager, but sometimes if i try from rom manager it will also hang at the white mytouch logo screen.

Update
Ok. So i have a partially functional recovery again i found the recovery image for 2.5.1.2 and flashed it using fastboot flash. I am now able to get into recovery again and install custom froyo roms, but every time i try to upgrade to a higher version like 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.2.5 no matter which method i use, I still get the same reboot while trying to get into recovery.
Please help. Thanks

Need Help with looping device....

Hello!
I was on the HKTW build as of yesterday. I have Tenfar's recovery and CWM installed too.
I attempted to install Kennith Penn's Alien Rom V2 and it seems like its flashing no problem... However, I get stuck in a boot loop.
I tried restoring to a previous back up , and that loops now too
So, I attempted to flash 2.3.4 Fruit cakes ( http://www.multiupload.com/U1EOJVAKPO ) and it seems that it is flashing it properly, because I got back my stock "AT&T" boot logo (from the factory) but, that goes into a boot loop too...
Can anyone please help point me in the correct direction of getting my device to boot the rom/ image properly? Is there a setting I need to ensure is checked on CWM (like mounts or something?) ... at this point, I cant even boot into Tenfars recovery... just CWM...
This sucks!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Bootloops in 99.9% cases means that you need to wipe.
1. Go back into CWM, wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
2. Flash the desired rom.
3. Go into CWM again and do all the wipes again.
And you should boot no probs.
p.s. these 3 steps should your blue print to installing any rom btw. even you want to backup apps - use TB.

thank you for your help....ive actually dome all of that and still no go

Have you tried wiping via fastboot?
moto-fastboot -w
p.s. do you have the latest CWM recovery? there can be problems if you arent using the latest one.

After playing a youtube video, suddenly my tab reboot by itself, and it stuck in a boot loop.
I tried to wipe factory setting and cache, still the same problem occured. I even tried to reinstall the same rom, it still give the same problem.
When i tried to install other rom (My-Rom 1.0) it stucks on installing kernel.
i try to find any hint on the xda, brought me to this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128565
it still unable to solve my problem. Hope anyone can help.

Try installing a different ROM, besides the two you installed, I had the same problem when I flashed HoneyVillain to Taboonay then to Lightspeed, I was stuck on a bootloop, couldn't flash back Taboonay, but was able to get HoneyVillain.

Still has the problem
I tried as you said, Installed honeyvillain 1.2 rom, and still has the same problem.
2 things which i realized is that,
1. there is sudden blink of loop screen that is different from boot loop that i have seen before.
2. there is error when i tried to do factory wipe
error moving data/data/com.estrong.android.pop/lib/libes_dropbox.so
hopefully anyone can help me

have you tried using acer recovery app to reinstal CWM, then use it to download just a basic 3.2 rom if possible and see how that goes

I am having the exact same problem error removing data/bluestacks, bootloops with little flashes in boot animation. tried every option in recovery and like 4 different back up restoration and the boot animation changes to that of the new restore but same thing.Help!!
thor's 13 then updated to 14 and this started

If you want, go to www.tegraowners.com . Thor's site. He made the recovery. If you go to his forums, Rom section, you will see he posted some steps to completely wipe internal memory. More than what the usual steps we take.
I suppose, there is some residual data left, which is why some errors are happening.
Also, any files named "update.zip", should be removed from SD.
Then you should be able to flash a new rom.
Here are the steps....
go to in recovery enter Backup and Restore and click on Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)
should say enabled....
then go into Mounts and Storage and format /data
this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory
then reinstall the rom and everything should work as expected....

im currently having this issue as of right now , idk wat the problem is
EDIT: and i cannot access CWM either

Stock on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock Image

I had Mint Jelly2.1 installed and everything was working fine.
it started when I had used the APK Hide It Pro. I was in the process of hiding videos and I noticed that my phone got rebooted and got stock in the Samsung boot up image with the Custom Lock image.
I tried nandroid restore, 2 images, but both also failed to restore / bootup.
I tried re-installing ROM and it was successful but during reboot, it will still get stock on the boot image.
Last step.
I used ODIN to restore the stock ROM and ODIN was able to install and reset. And my phone rebooted but still got stock on the Samsung Logo with CUstom Lock Screen.
What else can I do to fix this?
Thank you.

Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. I assume you now have 3e stock recovery because of ODIN. This might or might not help. If you have any questions about recovery, please use the search function for information. If for some reason you still have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), try re-flashing an AT&T ROM and Kernel again. Everything you try is at your own risk. Good luck.

I had tried to restore/flash from recovery before ODIN and it all Failed.
Anyway, the last step ODIN restore and it was still stock at the Samsung Logo with Lock image.
I left the phone to charge the whole night and this morning when I turned it on, it was able to start properly with ODIN stock ROM.
I tried to go to recovery, and can only be done manually, and it was not the TWRP recovery but the stock one, with very small characters.
I tried to install Mint Jell2.1 right away but just reboots.
I realized that I might need to root it again and downloaded the Tool and re-loki'ed/rooted and installed TWRP.
Now, I am able to install Mint Jelly 2.1 and restoring all my apps.
I appreciate the comment.
Thank you.

Yeah, every single time I ODIN back to stock, I get stuck at the splash screen also. And rebooting to 3E (factory) recovery and "restore factory defaults" works great.

I am running out of options. I thought I am already out of this stuck on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock icon.
I had ODIN to stock I337UCUAMDL and reset, Ran Loki patch / installed TWRP, intermittently it will get stuck.
I flashed Shoshock 1.9, was able to reboot and setup basic settings.
I manually reboot to check if it was able to fix the problem, but no.
I am stuck again and don't know what is the next step for trouble shooting it.
any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.

I got stuck to 1st boot image of Samsung with Lock Custom Icon.
I did format data/factory reset/clear cache/dalvik.. all of the wipe ootions.
I flashed a new ROM, successful, rebooted pass the logo and booted fine. I did not change any settings yet and I rebooted to check if it will get stuck again and sure after reboot, it got stuck again on the 1st image that shows up : Samsung Logo with the Lock Custom Icon.
