Tried to flash CM7rc2, failed, now phone won't boot

WHAT I DID:
From stock ROM, albeit rooted -
opened ROM Manager
chose to download CM7rc2, also ticked Google bundle
allowed it to do its thing
Could not log into Google account, same as with CM6 - why does it hate me?
decided to flash back to previous backup
it goes OK, BUT:
"Restoring boot image..."
"Restoring system..."
"Restoring data..."
dalvik-cache
^^^ wtf is that?
it's stuck on "dalvik-cache" forever.
Pulled battery, tried again, same result.
Pulled battery again, tried to reflash older backup. BOOT LOOP.
So now I have a phone that isn't exactly bricked, but is unusable. I suspect there's a way to recover this, but I have no idea how to go about it. Help?

I almost see why no one else is helping. I surely posted in the last thread you had about the same thing. Your list never once mentioned a full wipe before installing CM7 over stock.

[Q] Nexus 7 hangs at X animation

I know there are threads out the wazoo about this already but I want to make this thread to ask for help on my issues with it. This is the fourth time now where I've set up my tablet, got everything up and running, and then my battery dies (twice because I was running down my battery to let the kernel set up battery records and once by accident) and suddenly when I charge it back up and reboot it loads to the x boot animation and hangs there. I've waited several hours and it stays there (heating up quite a bit) without doing anything else.
The animation still cycles but doesn't advance. I'm on stock everything except superuser su and clockworkmod recovery. I've tried reflashing system, boot, bootloader, and clearing cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats, none of it helps.
Only thing I can find is flashing userdata or doing a factory reset (resets all of data except the sdcard) so obviously it's a problem somewhere in data but not on the SDcard. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this without a factory reset? I'm sick of spending hours getting everything set up just to lose it a day or two later. I don't want to factory reset a 4th time. Any help would be appreciated.

phone?

It's the Nexus 7 tablet (hence why it's in the Nexus 7 Q&A board and says Nexus 7 in the subject line)
[edit] I fixed it in my normal post to correct that mistype (makes Visa's comment not make sense)

Can't mount sdcard/data/system in CWM. Solved.

Hello,
Firstly I want to apologies for creating new thread for a thing on which there already number of threads here. However when I was in this big trouble (at least it was for me) on Saturday evening I searched everything and couldn't find a working solution.
And I would like to request moderator or someone who has better knowledge of what did happen and how it got fixed can make it guide with his thoughts if there is a need to .
Let's start with my story. I unlocked bootloader first time and flashed CWM. While restarting I tried to wiped data as told in one of the tutorial and then I restarted. As long as I remember it said you would not be able to boot in CWM again and I said Yes. That's the time when it got stuck to X logo. I flashed CWM again and then tried to restart still nothing happened. I got further and flashed CM 10.1.2.
Then it got stuck to CM logo. I wiped cache, data, dalvik cache before and after; nothing helped. Then I managed to Power off phone and planned to go for sleep. I thought I have ruined my phone
This is how I fixed it:
At the last moment I thought to give it a last try before sleeping. I could not have went to sleep with that I thought Then I rebooted my Nexus 4 in CWM and went to 'Mount and Storage'. Mounted everything which were in unmount state. Formatted data. Went back a step then wiped data. And restarted. And there it got rebooted in CM 10.1.2 :highfive:

Infinite Bootloop in every ROM - Solved

Hello i have a serious problem
I have infinite bootloop in every ROM, every baseband/radio, and in stock. I tested the (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) and any of this works. I wiped the system/data/cache/dalvik a lot of times and installed the CM11 in 4.4 baseband but still not working.
The bootloader is unlocked and fastboot working well. I spent all the day testing solutions of my knowledge but dont work.
Any idea?

Have you tried just flashing the full factory images? Or booting TWRP via fastboot and looking at the results of a manual wipe to ensure all partitions are "good"? Often when I hear about an "infinite bootloop" on every rom, it means the internal storage is bad, sometimes flashing the factory images helps, and sometimes it's just time to put the poor thing to rest... :/

I solved it with a rare solution, i install the stock Android L wait for the bootloop and i press the power button until the phone power off later i restart and works and it works in every stock ROM. Sounds weird but works.

Definitely weird... How long are you waiting for this "bootloop"? The reason I ask is because the first boot on lollipop takes an extremely long time since it is ART, 10-15 minutes for first clean boot, or over 30 minutes with a dirty flash isn't unheard of, and the first boot doesn't give the "Android is updating", just the swirling circles, if you interrupted it you could have other issues later on.

I wait several times more than 10 minutes. I wipe data/cache after restart the phone. I found the solution in Google Forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/D2vKK9rLgh8[1-25-false]

You should only have to wipe /cache from recovery to get out of it. I believe wiping /data is unnecessary (so you can avoid losing your data if you are concerned.

ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE551KL) - Gets to boot logo and than restarts after 10 seconds

Hey there,
I am having a recent issue with my phone, where everytime I reset it or do a power off and reboot, the phone will constantly get to the boot logo (in this case cyangemod) and reboot after 5-10 seconds.
It ends up working but only when I let it do this cycle for about 30 minutes or so.
I have looked everywhere, I cannot find someone who is having a similar problem as me.
I am running the latest Cyangemod nightly rom, because I thought the issue was the ASUS rom, I have tried wiping cache, doing a factory reset etc... but no luck.
I also have the latest TWRP recovery and unlocked bootloader.
Any help would be gladly appreciated, Thank You.
Let me know if any video evidence is needed to further clarify, the problem I am having.

Sorry I don't have good news or a solution for you. Just wanted to chime in that you aren't alone. This randomly happened to me on Sunday in the car - I noticed that I suddenly had no signal in a pretty well developed area that I frequent, so I tried restarting and I've been down ever since. Unlike you, I didn't wait it out too long, maybe 5 minutes at the most, when the phone started to get warm.
I have tried going back to stock recovery and firmware and have seen no success. Contrary to other people reporting problems, I hadn't done anything to my phone leading up to this. I think I upgraded the modem several days before, but other than that, everything was running pretty smoothly.

same thing was happening to me after a bad flash. Stock recovery, stock lolipop, wipe data and cache, boot once, reboot to recovery, flash latest MM package on asus's site.
This is the only thing that fixed the bootloops.
