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 that my cwm is just outdated already?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.

I was running 4.1 Jellybean and I decided to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935582
I went into recovery, did a factory wipe, and ran the installer for the custom rom from an external SD card. Install went smooth as butter. Rebooted and now it's stuck at the Acer logo. I can still go into recovery. I have the CPUID.

You need to more than a factory wipe.
Depending on your recovery, wipe;
1. Data/factory reset
2. Cache
3. Dalvik cache
Also, I like to Format
1. System
2. Flexrom
Then try installing the rom again.
Also, which Recovery program are you using. Make sure the Recovery program is compatible with the Aroma Installer. Civato should state this in his ROM thread.

I did all 5 wipes and then tried installing the rom again but still stuck at acer boot screen. I was using Thor 1.7.3 (bootloader version 3.0.1). It is supposed to be compatible with Aroma installer but this user who is using the same recovery/bootloader has the same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35450766&postcount=492
So I tried to update my recovery program to "TWRP 2.1.3-ICS (touch recovery)". According to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622425, if I already am on the ICS unlocked bootloader, I just put it on my tablet and install with CWM. So I put the zip file on my sd card and applied update from zip file in CWM. I rebooted and now I'm stuck on the acer logo for both the recovery and android. I have really bad luck.

hi guys!
on my nexus 4 i have installed ParanoidAndroid 4.3 (ver 3.92) with own bootloader and radio.
now i would change rom and install SlimBean 8 (based on android 4.2.2): can i flash rom and gapps normally or i need bootloader and radio from android 4.2.2?
thanks.
There is a radio and bootloader flashable zip for the recovery, you have to reboot back to recovery also wiping the data and such to get it working and then you can proceed in flashing the custom rom.
Download and flash the first zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147194

Flash the radio and bootloader, reboot recovery, wipe all those stuff, flash the rom, gapps and wipe everything again then you should be good to go.

this is the right procedure ,i perceive just follow this
i am on philz recovery and trying to install the ROM but when i go into mounts & storage there is
no format internal option and when i go into install zip there is no whip cache. where are these options i really want to install the ROM
I believe in philz there is an option that says "wipe to install new rom" and I believe that this wipes everything.
Also I believe when flashing sacs, after wiping you need to go into power options and reboot recovery before flashing the zip.
Hope you made a back up.
Also I believe flashing instructions for sacs is somewhere in the op of the rom thread.
