Same thing here. I flashed a new CM. Did a full wipe including cache then flashed a new GAPPS, and now I'm stuck at the Google screen. I can get into fast boot, recovery etc but cannot get my phone to boot. Any ideas?
1. wipe factory
2. wipe dalvik
3. wipe cache
4. flash cm then gapps then kernel
Thanks zephiK. Problem is I don't have a ROM on my sdcard mount. How can I copy a ROM to my phone without getting into android? Thanks for any help!
If you can get into recovery (CWM) then you can use ADB to push the file. Look through some of the PINNED threads for the commands. Very helpful info.
I found that my data partition was not able to MOUNT once and nothing I could do via ADB shell would change to it to R/W so I just locked and unlocked my bootloader and all was well again.
you can either use fastboot to push the files to your phone or flash stock. if you dont know how to use fastboot try wugs toolkit

Hi guys,noob problem here.
Problem:
my nexus died while i was watching a youtube video but my battery is still 30+% when i plugged my charger turned it on,it only got to the lock screen and and then it died again. but this time it has the static on the screen so i panicked. i went to the twrp recovery and wiped the cache,dalvik and accidentally wiped the system. now i have it's showing "no os installed,do you still want to reboot?". at this point,i dont know what to do. i read forums and guides to restore the factory image. i downloaded them and tried flashing it from my nexus toolkit 1.6.2 and it's taking a very long time to "waiting for your device to finish booting back up" and i tried it on the coomand prompt too but failed "too many links" message showed up. everytime i go to the bootloader and flash the stock image it always "hangs",the volume up and down wont work,its always on the "start".
oh and when i went to the command prompt to check for adb devices,my device doesnt show up.
i really need help,are there any step by step guide for dummies?
i'm sorry if the question is a little unorganized,i'm panicking,did i miss anything? please help
EDIT:
everytime i go to the recovery i always get the android with the red exclamation point. please help
thank you!
Hey,
I need some help with my Nexus 10, it's stuck at the moment.
I ran fastboot oem unlock via the Samsung Google Nexus 10 ToolKit 1.3.0 (updated for 4.2.2) and as soon as it was done it rebooted and was stuck...
Booting normally it gets to the bootlogo and just sits there forever, going round and round and round.
If I try to boot into fastboot it shows that it's unlocked but I can't change change to recovery using the volume rocker it's just a solid static screen, only choice is to start which boots back into the normal boot logo.
I have no way to use adb or fastboot... it's just stuck :/ How do I recover/unbrick this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Reboot holding Power and both volume buttons and you should be able to get to recovery

I'm on the xda-devs irc at the moment and we've got so far... but still its messed up.
- Recovery is dead (can't get into it atm, orange triangle guy every time)
- Flashed stock via fastboot and unrooted, but on reboot I get the triangle guy.
- I can boot into unsecure roms (temporary)
- I can boot into temporary recoverys, clearing cache works but davlik cache and factory reset doesn't work both say "failed"
I'm currently awaiting the guy whos been helping me get back from the shops.
From what I remember you need to either install something or run a command after "oem unlock" for security reasons. Android wont let you boot back into the OS until you have wiped all the data after the unlock.
The orange guy means it's working. There's a button combo to hit at that screen to get the recovery to boot. Once there do a factory reset and your done.
That's why toolkits sick, they teach you nothing and when they break your stuck

Can you flash a factory image to it via fastboot?

The pressing 3 buttons at once; cycling to recovery... method wasnt working because there was no recovery accessable what so ever and temporary recoveries weren't working.
That's what a few guys in IRC said too about the toolkits haha
Thankfully some guy by the name of YellowGTO spent some time helping me out and we finally got there in the end, he's awesome and extremely patient

Okay, updates for everyone just incase someone else gets the problem.
- Factory Images via fastboot flashed fine but never stuck, just kept returning me to triangle dude.
- Fix permissions, did nothing
- Restoring stock recovery did nothing, I still couldn't get to a recovery.
- Temporary recoveries only had limited functionality.
I decided to unlock an already unlocked phone again
I flashed stock, Ran file permissions
Used the temporary recovery to clear the cache/davlik (previously didn't work)
I re-rooted, Installed TWRP 2.4.4.0, this finally stuck.
I double checked that it had stuck by booting the system, rebooting into recovery, powering device of and powering it on to Android. It was all working perfectly.
I then made my backup and put a custom rom and kernel on, it's working lovely now.
It seems that somewhere during the oem unlock it messed up some partitions or something resulting in recoveries and flashing not to work/stick.
Good to hear it's working for you. The issue is that the stock N10 bootloader does not wipe the data partitions correctly as it should. So after an unlock you need to go into the stock recovery and wipe it. Boot once, then go and flash all your flasheys

That's the thing, the recovery wasn't available in any way shape or form and temporary recoveries wouldn't wipe the cache... the oem unlock went wrong somehow even though it had full power, wasn't interrupted or anything.
I'm glad it's all working now, I thought the device was completely dead at one stage.
I think you had the problem almost everyone runs into:
As you can see in the video, you just have to try for a bit to actually get the recovery menu to open - My heart dropped a little before I knew that as well

I think you are right and that was his problem..... The toolkit actually told him how to handle this ... but who reads all the that text anyway
I've been rooted for quite some time now, was always using axiom, today I decided to try something new, I flashed via twrp ROM and gapps, twrp said no root, installed superuser? I swiped yes, phone booted to Google screen, but now is the stupid part,
Keeps boot looping there, absolutely no boot loader when trying to boot into it, computer won't read device, just says android with a yellow exclamation mark and says the drivers are incorrect or something, I cannot fast boot because of this, when trying to enter boot loader it just gores to Google screen goes black then flashes red light,
Is this fixable? Will JTAG work maybe (last resort), anybody who has the time to help will be my hero haha, I work in a few hours so I won't be back until the afternoon, but please anyone!
Oh and phone isnt unresponsive, still vibrates, still charges and still boots google logo,
Just remeber i cant flash stock img files due to not being abke to use fastboot:/ unless there is a way to get the computer to read my phone
Thanks in advanced to people who reply,

Hi,
I received a new Nexus 10 yesterday and everything was running great on 4.4 kitkat until the wi-fi suddenly started running very slowly and only on this device. I looked up online and found a suggested fix would be to wipe the cache partition in recovery, so I did that, except it froze halfway through. I left it for a while but nothing. The bar wasn't going up and the device was completely unresponsive.
I forced a reboot but now the device is stuck in a bootloop. I can get to the bootloader and my PC recognises it there, but if I try and get into recovery again, the little graphic of the android on it's back comes up with a red warning triangle on its chest (can't remember if that's normal or not) and then nothing else happens. I can't open the menus or see it on my PC. When I try to boot normally, I get stuck at the bootscreen but my PC can see it.
Thanks
EDIT: I fixed the problem by simply reinstalling android via ADB and sideload.

Hi,
thanks for the offer but I literally just fixed the problem by reinstalling android via sideload.
Thanks!
Lewis
Issues so far:
1. Tried to install StatixOS 16 (Pie) on rooted (Magisk) unlocked N6P (running 8.0.1) using TWRP.
2. Phone got as far as the G logo and said Powered By Android. A small, almost invisible grey progress bar thing was moving along. I left the phone for several hours, still the same thing.
3. Used TWRP to wipe the cache etc.
4. Tried to install the factory image by Fastboot, for some reason it stuffed up at the system image, did the first file then decided not to go any further.
5. Phone now has no TWRP recovery (stock bootloader and recovery are accessible) and gets to the white Google logo and that's as far as it goes.
6. Cannot connect phone to ADB or Fastboot any longer, so cannot send new images to the phone.
If anyone can find a solution to this, I would be eternally grateful, otherwise it is going to cost me a lot of money to get sorted! Thanks in advance for any advice.
