Lulz. The reason why this is happening is because stock nexus roms will ALWAYS try to flash back a normal recovery.
You need to try and find a way to flash back a custom recovery (ahem, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
and there should be a notification when you're about to reboot that says something like disable stock recovery?
Not sure if that was TWRP or CWM.
stock rom will replace your custom recovery with stock recovery.
Use Flashify app to flash img on phone

This isn't my first android root but I'm stuck. I followed the video for rooting my Nexus 10. Got stuck in a boot loop but was able to flash cwm but still in boot loop. I tried doing the factory reset and now cwm is gone too and still stuck in boot loop. Do I need to reflash the stock recovery and if so where do I find that to download?
flash tbe cwm recovery again via fastboot, transfer your custom rom of choice from your desktop to your device, wipe data (factory reset), then flash that rom via cwm. btw, this is a galaxy nexus forums

and the recovery flashed fine? did you "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot can see your device? sometimes these recoveries need to ne flashed a few times before they take. try flashing it two or three times in a rom. did you try twrp recovery? you might like that recovery better.
op, rename/delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p and reflash your custom recovery;
RANT: GOD DAMN IT, WHERE'S MY NEXUS 10!!!??? BEEN WAITING FOR 2 GODAMN MONTHS! - Sorry, it's just that I've been going through some **** to get my hands on one - AND THERE'S PEOPLE WHO'S GOT 2!!!
FOLLOWUP:
I ran MSkip toolkit and it repaired everything. I got a failed on renaming my recovery images so my stock recovery images are just gone I guess? Anyway I'm good. Rooted and repaired thanks to Skips toolkit.
Thanks for all the help!
-------------
It appears to be flashing fine and yes it sees my device. I tried multiple reflashing this am and still no joy.
I reposted in the right place and got some help but not done yet. I think mod might delete this thread since I have the other one going.

Hi all,
I bought a white N4 today since my GNexus died on me.
I played a but with the phone and went on to rooting.
I unlocked bootloader, but now the phone won't boot!!! it doesn't go pass the Google coloured cross.
I can still go to fastboot, so I flashed CWM recovery. Tried to wipe data, but it seem it can't mount /sdcard . . .
Please help I have no clue what's going on and fear I bricked a brand new phone
Thanks

Boot into CWM and wipe cache. If that doesn't work, flash the stock recovery, boot into the stock recovery, and wipe cache.

No luck with wiping. I flashed stock recovery, but when I boot to it I get a laying down droid with red exclamation mark...

That is the splash screen for the stock recovery. To access the menu, hold the power button and press volume up.
Then wipe cache and reboot. If that doesn't work, factory reset and reboot.
ok got it.
Flashed stock recovery, wiped everything, locked bootloader. I guess I am 100% stock now.
Phone is booting ok.
I will try to use Nexus root toolkit to
1, unlock
2, flash CWM recovery
3, flash superSU
Hope it will work ok now.
What is your take on what happened ?

What method did you use to unlock the bootloader the first time?

Have a read of the "return to stock" sticky in the General section. Sometimes the N4 won't boot if you have flashed images. You need to either format userdata (i.e., factory reset) or wipe cache.
No need to use a toolkit to do what you want.
1) Unlock the bootloader: fastboot oem unlock
2) Flash CWM: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
3) Boot into recovery and flash a superuser zip.
everything is now fine!
Thanks Efrant!

edit fixed with dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Good deal .you could've also just used Goo manager for
re installing TWRP or
Rom manager for CWM and then find your Auto loki recovery again

Hello!
Previously I've had PA 3.99 but today I downloaded stock 4.4 from google site and flashed it via fastboot. System works perfectly, but always when I want to flash CWM or TWRP (newest) phone stuck on boot (but recovery works)
Anyone knows the reason?
Cheers!

Hello, I have InnJoo i2s with Android 4.4.2 and CWM based recovery and when I try to install stock recovery.img extracted from stock ROM zip and compressed in it's own zip it starts flashing and then it says installation aborted and now I have a bootloop and I can't flash stock ROM again
Can you help me? :crying:
Actually it's not a bootloop but as soon as the boot animation starts the screen blacks out. I think it was caused by trying to format data and factory reset the phone through recovery but it froze. Also, I'm not able to flash anything through the recovery and I can't restore a backup created with the CWM based recovery. Thanks again

Best way out is reflash the entire stock ROM as it is.
Format cache and delvik and reboot
Once the system boots up, reflash the CWM or TWRP and get back your backup to work
You may use flashify app from thegoogle play store
