I just used the nexus toolkit 5.4 to unlockboot loader, flash CWM touch, root phone and managed to boot to recovery. In the recover i did a format/system and now i cannot boot my phone! It just gets stuck in the Google logo screen with the unlocked symbol at the bottom. Help! I cant even mount my phone to copy a ROM over to flash!
EDIT: I cant seem to mount any sdcard to the phone! OMG Please help me! Did i just wipe everything and have nothing to fall back on anymore? DO i have to send it back to samsung?
EDIT 2: Now when i press wipe/data factory reset, it gets to the formatting data part and it just gets stuck for a long time before it says "Error mounting /data!" then it goes to "Skipping format..." and goes to format my cache, sd-ext and so forth. What can i do now? Is there some advance method I can use to restore my OS? Please help me!
NEvermind i fixed it.
I just remembered i downloaded the stock Android 4.0.2 image from google. So i just used the toolkit to restore stock google image and its all back to normal. What an adrenaline rush!

Hi,
I Have My Galaxy Nexus , i finished backing up my phones SD Partition, that went smoothly ...
Then I went to peerform a Nandroid back up i received a Boot image error..
Then i went to boot up the device normally since i received the error and once it boots into android after the lock screen it shuts off and reboots over and over....
I went to format cache and format Data and the same thing happens only strange thing is it still showed my normal desktop set up apposed to starting fresh before it shuts off into another boot sequence...
i need help.
Other known issue i couldn't boot into usb (Mac) while in CWM
EDIT: Now CWM is backing up the boot image/Nandroid... (Strange), still need help because of bootloop
EDIT2: stopped at error in backup / data due to me formatting

So just as the title says i decided to root my n7. Everything seemed to go smooth until my nexus 7 was stuck on the boot animation screen for about 20 minutes. I tried doing a factory reset in TWRP and it said wipe failed. I decided to flash CWM instead and do a factory reset but i couldn't. It said error mounting /data. I'm not sure what to do googling around didn't seem to work.
TWRP gave me a message saying SU is not installed after i installed the recovery so i clicked instal SU. I'm not sure if that contributed to my problem or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok so i figured this out.
So for anyone who ever gets into an endless bootloop with the inability to wipe data you need to do the following.
1. Download the latest Factory image from google.
2. Exctract the files into your platform-tools folder an run the "flash-all" command this video illustrates it perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsss9e71bKo
3. And you're done! hopefully this helps someone out
I finally flashed a non Sense ROM onto my dev edition M8, and now I can't even touch /data. I got the enter password to decrypt storage bug while using Paranoid Android, so I followed the steps here to get back to a working system, but the ROM never booted to the password screen. It froze on the boot animation, the went in a loop, I tried to wipe data through recovery, the screen went blank after a few seconds, and then tried to boot the system again. I can't get it to wipe via fastboot either as I get a "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" when trying erasing and formatting data/userdata. I also can't delete anything from /data in recovery. Does anyone have a fix for this? Flashing other ROMs also suddenly quit and go back to trying to boot the system.
Edit: Flashing a stock recovery to wipe /data fixed it. Why didn't I think about that sooner?
Okay, so my phone just crashed randomly while in snap chat... so it goes to boot and will not get past the boot logo... all it does is try to boot then stop and try again over and over. I can get into fastboot and flash stuff but I can not get into recovery, same problem, cant pass boot logo. I was able to access twrp once (dumb me did not backup internal storage) so I downloaded pure nexus rom and everything I needed. (I was on lineage 7.1.1) So I wipe and stuff like usual (not internal storage) then I start to flash it then it stopped when it was trying to flash "system" now I'm back on the problem I had earlier... can't get to recovery, cant charge, cant boot because theirs is like not system, I don't want to clear internal storage but I need to fix this.
Help
Thanks,
