So yesterday I tried flashing CM10.
I installed root, flashed boot loader, and installed cwm. I factory reseted, wiped cache partion and wiped dalvik cache.
After I loaded the cm10 zip, my phone restarted right after installing the zip so I entered cwm again and installed google apps.
The phone booted up into cm10 normally. I went through the setup and everything seemed fine, except wifi didn't seem to work.
Problem is that my phone restarts every 2 minutes, both in cwm, and cm10. I tried flashing the stock rom, but it still restarts every 2 minutes.
Also sometimes the phone boots to a completely black screen. The back button and menu button light up on this screen but don't do anything.
Any ideas on what to do?
EDIT: I installed catlog and noticed right before it crashes it says: Throttle Unable to find stats for iface rmnet0
EDIT 2: Flashing this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176430 seemed to stop the rebooting. I'm going to try flashing cm10 again.
EDIT 3: So after flashing cm10 everything seemed fine. No problem 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.
I hope this is the right forum.
I have rooted my Nexus 4 and installed CWM recovery (6.0.1.9). All was fine so far (about two weeks).
Today I tried to install "Delayed Lock" and "/system/app mover", because Delayed Lock was supposed to be installed as a system app.
I did as I was told in the install instructions, moved the app to the system/app-folder and restarted my phone.
That's when I got stuck at the X while booting.
So after about 10minutes I restarted into recovery and wiped the cache and dalvik cache. I rebooted, but was still stuck at the X.
At last I did a factory reset, but still the same, the X is flashing and nothing happens (except the phone getting a bit warm).
Any ideas?
Flash your ROM again and wipe /system before.
There was no need to wipe /data
I was on stock.
I flashed a recovery image.
Either I'm too impatient (after now 15 minutes) or nothing changed. There was no problem during the flash but after the reboot the X is still flashing happily and nothing happens....

You need to flash a rom, any rom will do, no need to wait 15 min, let alone 5 mins... You can try going into Fastboot and flashing it that way using the Nexus toolkit
Thanks up and running again, the Toolkit helped. If I only knew what I did wrong in the first place.
So I was flashing a new rom on my phone (Liquid Smooth) and did a normal clean-flash. Booted in fine, set everything up, restored apps w/ Titanium and got the phone running. Set my DPI and restarted the phone. It got stuck at the splash screen for Liquid Smooth. Restarted, same thing. Went in recovery (TWRP 2.5.x) and cleared cache/dalvik but same thing. Did a clean flash and the phone booted up again.
Weird.
This time I just restarted it after I set up the phone and it did the same thing again. Now I had no idea what was going on. So I backed up all my data, went in recovery and did a complete format. Tried flashing Liquid and Omni, but TWRP kept giving me a "can't mount /data/user". Tried to mount it manually in the recovery, and it kept saying "Can't mount /data". Now I couldn't flash anything, and my phone wouldn't boot past the S4 logo. I have the MDL odin files saved alrady, so I flashed stock ATT FW back on, rooted again using CASUAL and I'm good to go.
Flashed Liquid again, and everything seems good, I've restarted the phone a couple times and it's been okay. However: is this any indication of faulty flash memory? Or was it just some sort of partition messup which happens from time to time?
Was on cloudy's latest gpro2 rom with dorimatrix 4.8.1, updated to 4.9 and wiped cache and dalvic cache and upon first boot everything I would click force closed after a minute or so so I attempted rebooting. It would then go into a bootloop. I adb rebooted into recovery, wiped the caches, and flashed 4.8.1. It now did the same thing as it did before, followed by a bootloop when I rebooted it. Decided to try flashing to a different rom, so I did a complete backup and sent over the latest CM11 nightly. Wiped all and flashed, and now I'm bootlooping at the CM screen with no recovery access.
I remembered when I was already bootlooping that I needed to flash the 4.2.2 partitions to use an AOSP roms. A little too late huh. Now I'm stuck at the CM bootanimation and no ADB. Are my only options to use mobile odin and start over from or can you guys come up with something else?

Fixed it... realized I still had recovery active, booted into it with the button combo, wiped, installed cloudy pro, all is good.
Rooted S5 running Lollipop. Followed the instructions here: goo. gl/QkooVR to upgrade to Marshmallow and keep root.
I flashed the stock ROM with FlashFire and set the reboot mode to download. Everything was fine except that it never booted into download mode, it just froze at the Samsung logo, so I waited 30 min, no result, took the battery out, put it back in, went to download mode manually.
Then I installed the PF4 tar.md5 file via Odin. Again, everything went fine except it never booted up properly and was again stuck at Samsung logo. So, I waited 30 more minutes, no result, took the battery out, put it back in, manually booted into stock recovery. Checked the android version and it said it was 6.0.1.
Tried installing the md5 file several more times, same result. Tried rebooting without installing it again first, same result. What do I do? Should I wipe data partitions and dalvik cache? If I do, then what happens?
