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 that my cwm is just outdated already?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.

After i rooted/unlocked my phone I booted it up and it got stuck on the nexus splash screen. I did find a solution to the problem which was to put it back to factory settings. alright, great, problem solved, but when i go to do the reset i come across errors as seen in the picture. Anyone know how to fix?
I had that issue when downloading the file through the toolkit. I went and manually got the images from google, placed them in the correct folder within the kit and flashed successfully.

I recommend flash SuperSu zip file via CWM Recovery.
It's totally easy and safe.
I had this issue. Factory reset/clear caches should fix it.

factory resetting clears your cache, as well as dalvik cache.
Not sure what I did wrong.
Backed up phone
unlocked phone
downloaded CWM
put SU on phone
went into put loader and flashed ( I think ) CWM
then when I go into recover mode the phone gets stuck on google logo.
Cleared cache etc. but nada.
Downloading factory image now....on a very slow connection and will take 3 hours. Any way around this? What are my options.
I'm totally stuck here too. I have the exact same as the OP.
I've manually placed the stock image in the folder structure. It's starts to do stuff, reboots and then the toolkit says Waiting for Device (forever).
Nothing happens after this.
This all occurred while I was installing my Google Apps. I stupidly installed Chainfire3D, and installed the drivers. It restarted and this never ending cycle happened. I only read that they weren't compatible with ICS or Jellybean afterwards
Any help is greatly appreciated. :crying:

Edit:
solved my problem. I went to CWM Recovery, and checked in "mounts and storage" that none of the partitions were mounted. Cache was mounted in my case. I unmounted Cache and rebooted.

After you flash the mako image you need to boot into recovery and clear cache/factory reset. Then it will boot past the X.

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.

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.
Hi, everybody!
I am stuck with the problem, I cannot solve, and cannot google.
I saw a lot of similar, but none of the directions helped me to fix my phone.
I've got my Nexus 4 which was a great phone until I updated it to 4.3, some of the screen portions became senseless on some applications (starting from SMS, to some game apps).
I was suggested to downgrade or change ROM, which I am trying to figure out right now.
I've rooted my phone with SuperSU-v1.85 and installed Clockwork-6.0.4.3.
Once I've done it, I was trying to load an images of cm-11 and gapps-4.4 with
adb push
it finished all operations in cmd, however, I got
E: Can't mount /sdcard
Thus, I've tried to install all zips from sideload and my cmd.
I didn't touch kernel.
Once I've done this, I tried to reboot, but Cyanogen stuck, running circles.
I've tried to do factory reset, clear cache and dalvik, however none of those worked.
I also have been doing this with a more stable release (cm-10.2.0), but I got same thing.

Maybe you'll have better luck with TWRP 2.6.3.3.

Just tried it.
Didn't work out with MIUI.
Just put the files directly onto the phone either by downloading them on it or transferring normally over USB.
Reboot into recovery
From here you got options but to make it simple do a full wipe. A full wipe is deleting everything but your internal storage. That includes / system /data and everything else your recovery shows but the internal storage. Then just flash the ROM zip and gapps zips from your internal storage after the wipe and reboot
If you delete your internal storage you will wipe out the zips you just put there. Along with your media. Pictures music and whatever else is on there
Wiping your data will wipe your apps. So if you want, back them up with something like titanium backup prior. They will still be there after you flash the custom rom as long as you don't wipe your internal storage.
