Flashing Rom always ends in boot loop?

I have had my N7 for a week now, and have unlocked and rooted it. I flashed the jr5 rom and it worked ok, but i decided I wanted to try the pure AOSP rom, so I did a data/cache/dalvik wipe and flashed the rom. It proceeded to boot and freeze at the Google screen. I rebooted into recovery, and attempted to restore from my backup (failed), flash the jr5 rom (failed), and reflash the AOSP rom (failed). I then decided to follow the instructions on ROOTZwiki and restore back to stock (although still unlocked). I restored to the factory image, and attempted to flash the CM10 AOKP rom, and was again met with the frozen Google screen. I made sure to wipe data and both caches each time i tried to flash a rom, but I always end up stuck at the Google screen. What could be causing this? I would really like to know if anyone has any idea, because I fully plan on running the full version of CM10 when it is released.

By wipe Data you did factory reset in cwm? And what version of cwm are you using?

yes i did a factory data reset each time. I am currently running v5.8.0.2 of cwm

could that be the problem? that my cwm is just outdated already?

No that shouldn't be causing your problems, although I would recommend flashing TWRP recovery through goo manager.
I would first download a ROM on your computer and check the MD5. Then mount your nexus over USB and copy the new ROM over to the nexus sdcard directory and while its connected use your computer to check the MD5 on your ROM while its on the device. Then wipe data, cache, dalvic cache and system. Then install the ROM and Gapps and reboot. Make sure its only the to, and not a desperate kernel or anything for right now. When you reboot give it 10 minutes or so the first boots are often way long.
If that doesn't do it copy the stuff on your SD card over to your computer and then format the SD card.
To install TWRP, install goo manager from the play store, when you open the app just press menu, you don't need to browse for files or anything. Just press menu and then choose Install OpenRecoveryScript and when its done reboot or reboot to recovery, can't remember which did the trick, and it may take a couple of times.
Also remember that booting through boot loader to recovery requires the USB cord to be connected to a computer to avoid the Google screen looping.
Hope some of this was helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to help me. Before I do the goo-manager/twrp install, are there any inherent advantages or disadvantages of using twrp as opposed to cwm? Also, I hadn't thought to check md5s after moving the roms, so I will be doing that from now on.

Twrp works just fine.
In your recovery, can you mount and unmount all your partitions without any errors?

am I finally doing it right?
I flashed EOS rom from a clean system and it worked fine. Decided to have gapps and installed via twrp. This would give me boot loop into recovery no matter wat combination of cache clearing etc used. So finally I did the counter intuitive and installed gapps zip followed by ROM zip. This seems to have worked though it seems backwards to me. Is this the correct procedure?

no. did the rom already come with gapps? the rom would wipe out whatever gapps you did flash before the rom.

I don't like Twrp not being able to boot into recovery from holding the buttons, especially running into these loops during installs. Had the sameresults with cwm though.Now I am having this boot loop with TeamEOS as well as Skanky (neither package gapps) I however only loop if installing gapps after the rom or wiping caches.
If caches and system are wiped, gapps installed, then the rom I get a functioning system.Can anyone shed some light on what trigers specific loops or how to review tje errors / panics?

I'm reviving this thread since I have a similar issue. I am using TWRP. I have no problem performing a wipe (I do a factory reset, plus dalvik cache wipe), or flashing a new ROM (I've tried SGT7 and PA2.11). I can boot into the ROM fine. Once I try to flash Gapps, I get stuck in a boot loop that ends up going back to recovery. I've tried different combinations of operations, with different versions of gapps, but nothing works. I've tried:
gapps-jb-20120719-signed
gapps-jb-20120726-signed
both from goo.im, MD5 checked, without success. I'm stuck using SGT7, because that one includes Google account, and Play Store, so that can get me going... Only thing, I haven't wiped the data partition, because that's a bigger hassle. Do you guys have any clues as to what I should try next?

Do you flash the rom and gapps and then reboot, or flash the rom, reboot, then flash gapps?

Did anybody get out of their bootloop? I flashed paranoid droid with twrp and I didn't select "signature verification" or "md5 check" as I read before hand on another forum that it wasn't needed and to actually not tick "signature"....so now I'm in a bootloop, volume buttons and power does get me in to a few selections, "reboot", "power off" and "recovery". When I select recovery it just takes me to the black screen with "Google" on it. No idea how to get out of this loop....I'm researching now but I am not understanding much....I'm so use to Samsung devices, getting out of bootloop with those are a piece of cake, this I'm clueless and helpless on. So does anybody have a way for me to either reflash the rom or get me to where I can go back to stock? I used wugfresh to root. Thanks.

Can you get to bootloader?

If your using an older version of cwm it will boot loop and or cuase bad flashes with new builds
Upgrade cwm or just use twrp

[HELP] NEXUS 4 won't start after clearing cache

Hello all,
So ive been running Paranoid for a while. Today i went into recovery and wiped all the data....cleared dalvik and regular cache...
Wiped everything and clicked factory settings also.
Now when i try to reboot...It says you dont have supersu, do you want to install.....If i click YES it stays on google logo forever....If i click NO, same it stays there....
Am i doing anything wrong....I even tried to flash the ROM again...but my SDcard is empty now

What possessed you to wipe everything?
You need to fastboot flash the factory images

Use ADB to push the ROM to your phones SD card, and reflash it. Theres lots of tutorials here on setting up, and using ADB.

Hey thanks ScumDroid....I used sideload option in NEXUS 4 tool kit and pushed the paranoid rom into card again and flashed it.

For Those Who Semi-Bricked Their Nexus 7 0MB Interal Storage

Hopefully this helps people in my situation.
So on the first day of having my nexus 7 i found a way to have no OS and 0MB internal storage showing in TWRP. Yah i suck.
I tried tons of things but knew a system image was needed.
HOW: I was about to flash the superuser root for 4.3 newly released and forgot to put it on nexus so i then proceeded to exit TWRP, however upon exiting TWRP the recovery detected i havent installed supersu and asked do i want to install superuser? I though why the hell not!
I confirmed to install superuser and then tried to reboot but for 20 minutes device could not boot. TWRP showed 0MB internal storage and pushing adb files in this state yielded nothing as there was no directory
This is how i managed to have a working tablet again
1. FORMAT DATA in TWRP - after doing this your internal storage should be back and not show 0MB
2. reboot to the bootloader
3. On your computer download this file kindly given to us by phuduong and uploaded by Nburnes

Credit to Nburnes http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2918596[/QUOTE]
4. Once downloaded move that system.img file to your adb directory
5. With you nexus 7 in the bootloader, adb open, and file downloaded copy and paste this command into adb terminal
fastboot flash system system.img
6. Now you have an OS but it still would loop and wouldnt start
7. Boot into recovery and Format Data again, because for me 0MB interal storage was back again
8. Then Factory Reset
FINALLY YOUR DEVICE SHOULD BE BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE!!!!!

Is that the factory image? Have you tried going from unlocked bootloader & rooted back to factory using that image?

Google has yet to release the official factory image for the new N7. However, a kind user was gracious enough to make their own. It is likely to be almost identical to what Google will eventually release and should work the same way.

Thank you! Thank you!

good stuff OP. glad you got it working again

You all are life savers! 1000X Thanks!

I tried running through this, but it didn't work for me. I think my situation is different though because I tried to install a factory image for the 2012 nexus, and during part of that process I ran the "flash-all" script which starts by deleting boot, cache, recovery, userdata, and system.
I think deleting boot screwed me up, because even though I can go into recovery now after reinstalling twrp and I can restore my system using system.img, I still can't boot (get stuck on the google logo). Any way to fix that?

So you first tried to restore from the OLD Nexus 7 Image?????

Yes, I tried to restore from the old image. Obviously fastboot wont let you install the old image, but I didn't realize that until boot, system, cache, etc. were deleted

THANK YOU!!!
This worked perfectly! I had a wiped system folder (no ROM), and obviously no USB debugging enabled. And with the lack of a factory image, I've been counting seconds to seeing somebody post this!
Just follow the instructions carefully. Thank you guys!

OP and nburnes saved my butt!

I did this and now it seems my device is booting and it shows up as N7 when I attach it to my PC. But the display shows nothing at all. It just goes blank after the Google screen. Any ideas?
After flashing everything I could think of and banging my head and the device against the wall for two hours, I finally got it to work. Not sure how exactly but the last thing I did was reflashing bootloader. So if anyone has the same problem, try that.

Thank you.

From my BLACKED OUT N4

I actually have the same problem. I had root, but I wasn't using a custom recovery. The OTA appeared as available in the notifications so I chose to install it. I set it aside and it appeared to install, but when it went to boot up, it got stuck on the X animation. I left it there while I tried to research the issue, but after 20 minutes of looking at the X I tried doing a factory reset with the stock recovery. It said it succeeded, so I rebooted. I've now been looking at the X animation for 7 minutes.

After the update mine was stuck on the loading screen for a while, maybe a half hour. Gave up on that, did a factory reset from the recovery menus, but it still won't start up.
Any suggestions?

You use the stock recovery to clear cache, format I think is what recovery says, if that doesn't work then you have to do a factory reset weather you want to or not. This worked for me.
This is from efrant's guide to flashing in general section:
Note that some users indicate that they can't get past the X on boot. If this happens to you, reboot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, when you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, hold power and press volume up to take you to the menu. Wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset.
If you have a 16GB device, and it now shows up as 8GB, reboot into recovery (hold power and press volume up when you are at the screen with the android and the red exclamation mark), and wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset. Or do this.

Looks like a factory reset is the only viable option. What is the best way to back everything up, if I cannot boot into OS?

Folks,
After trying a lot of option, I did a full restore flashing the entire 4.3 new image.
Worked, but lost everything on the phone.

You can backup data using adb, its a simple command to copy the internal storage but I'm not sure what the exact command is as I never had to use it.

I flashed 4.3 following efrant's guide, no dice. I tried erasing boot/recovery and formatting cache/system/userdata and then doing so again, no dice. I did a factory reset and then flashed using flash-all.sh, no dice. It hangs on X animation. I've been letting it go for 5+ minutes each time, should I be waiting longer? Is there something else I can try?

My 'phone couldn't get past the X so I followed the above. Wiping the cache didn't work so I chose wipe data/factory reset, answered yes to delete all user data and the screen showed "Wiping data ... Formatting /data ... Data wipe complete". The menu then returns with reboot system now highlighted. What's supposed to happen next?
If I choose reboot system now, the 'phone just reboots to the bootloader. If I choose wipe data/factory reset, the data is wiped again and the menu returns again, same as before. If I do nothing, nothing happens, at least according to the screen. What am I missing?

I was able to use flash-all.sh in 4.2.2 and it booted fine. I tried the ota again and same issue. Some apps autoinstalled when I installed 4.2.2, so I guess I can re-flash 4.2.2, make sure no apps download, then try the OTA again, but I'm not sure what else I can try to get 4.3 to install.

Yeah I also had the same problem. Tried to apply OTA from rooted stock. I flashed 4.2.2 via fastboot without wiping user data and got it to start in 4.2.2 again. Backed up all the important files and app data with Titanium, factory reset and then flashed 4.3. Rooted and then restored all the app data. Had a small issue with the r/w permission on some of the folders that affected the Gallery app not being able to work properly but did a fix and it all works fine now.

No that's not it. I saw a tutorial somewhere on how to backup the Nexus 4 using adb but I can't find it. Someone in here knows how to do it and/or there is already a thread on it.
it would be something like --- adb pull all storage/emulated/0 --- to get all your data off the sdcard but I'm not sure of the syntax I used plus you need to designate where to put the data you just pulled. I only looked at the how to once and very briefly as I didn't need to use it. I'm not sure how you backup user data but you would need to pull the image off the device.
I have most of my data backed up to either Google or in my Box account using Helium backup so I don't care about losing any doing a factory restore so I have no need to know how to do an adb backup.

This isn't the guide I saw before but I think it will work. I cut out the relevant section from the article.
http://www.dotkam.com/2013/01/16/backup-and-reset-nexus-4-cracked-and-locked-screen/
One thing I knew I could do for sure is to backup the “sdcard”. I knew this because of two things: I have “USB Debugging” on, which means I can use adb, and “sdcard” is not owned by root, which means it can be “pulled”/”read” by adb. Hence the first step is clear:
./adb pull /sdcard/ /destination
At this point all the pictures / videos / music, etc.. are backed up. Now I need to backup my SMS, contacts, etc.. Information that lives in Android “databases”. For example contacts usually live here “/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases”. Which can’t be simply “pulled” as pitures, since they are protected, and hence cannot be read by adb directly.

I found this thread in the galaxy nexus forum and maybe it will work, it was using syntax similar to what you posted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351

So I have tried many things to flash 4.3, but none have worked. Flashing 4.2.2 works and it's how I recover from getting stuck on the nexus boot screen which happens whenever I flash 4.3.
I have tried:
Simple OTA. Performed when I had root and also from fresh 4.2.2 install.
Flash using fastboot and all .img files separately, wiping the cache afterwards.
Flash using flash-all.sh script included with the factory image.
I have tried doing the above wiping cache before/after and doing a factory reset before/after. The MD5 checksum of the .tgz is correct, so the file downloaded correctly. However, all roads lead to being stuck on the "X" animation during boot up. I always allow 5+ minutes for it to progress beyond, but it hasn't.

bricked?

Hi,
I tried out ubuntu touch and wanted to revert to stock before flashing cm (because I havn't had a rom on my storage).
After flashing the stock image via fastboot (using that flash-all.sh included in official download) my nexus stucks at boot animation.
Then I flashed recovery (I tried both, CWM and TWRP) and tried to do a factory reset -> unable to mount internal storage, also the space of my internal storage was 0MB (obviously because it can't mount anything), so it exited with an error. Then I formatted just every partion in CWM and I was able to mount again, flashed stock image ... stuck at boot animation. Tried flashing cm via sideload... stuck at boot animation.
Google didn't helped me.
Does somebody know what to do now?
Thanks

After you flash the stock image boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Should solve your problem

you should only have to clear the cache...factory reset shouldn't be necessary. Remember if you do have to do a factory reset, it will wipe all your storage completely if you use stock recovery to do it. Don't forget to back everything up first!

Does not work, it just stays at the screen with dat red triangle. Also vol up + power at same and other things I found in google don't work.
I already made backups, but anyway, they wouldn't help me in any way, if I don't have a working phone..

Boot into fastboot mode. Then from your pc with your device hooked up via usb type fastboot boot recovery. See if that will get you into recovery

It says 'cannot load 'recovery'' and also, I tried flashing ubuntu touch again and it worked.
Edit:
I think it has something to do with my /data partition. It said unable to mount /data again. After fixing that (for some reason it works if I select "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" (CWM) I can also format /data. But there a difference between that an all other partitions: for every other partition its like that: mount -> format -> unmount, but for /data it just don't do the last step, it stays mounted.

No on an idea? Do I need to send it in?

Try downloading The Root Toolkit Here.
Connect your phone, open the toolkit. On The First Page select "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and Flash Stock+Unroot.
This should Help.

Yeeeeeeey, I have no idea what the tool did, but it works now
Thank you for the tip
