The animation is locked? I don't understand what you mean. Are you stuck at the boot logo (Google screen) or the boot animation (flashing X)? Either way, you can just go into your custom recovery, wipe data, and try flashing again if you are waiting on it to boot for that long. Some users have experienced waiting 5 minutes before it actually started up.
Agreed.
Initial boot on my Toro took 5-6 minutes.
It was butter ever since, however.
Give it a minute.
And make sure you're properly installing a rom (post 2 from the link in my signature).
Edit:

It's flashing X on Boot animation. It has stayed in that mode for hours. I am confused and can not back into my phone. Reading other posts, I am able to get back to Fastboot mode. What do I do next? I appreciate your help. Thanks

I see. So you're in a bootloop. What do you mean fastboot mode? Because I know some users get confused with the terms... I'm assuming you're able to enter the Bootloader (screen with android belly open, where you are able to move through some menu options with your up and down volume keys)? Note, this is not the screen with the Android and red exclamation point. If you are able to boot into bootloader, you should be able to enter your custom recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery?) and wipe data and either flash a rom (same one or new one) and try again, or restore a backup you made. If you're set on using fastboot commands, you can always flash Nexus Factory Images, although this will wipe your SD card. I recommend getting into your custom recovery and wiping and flashing or restoring. If you don't have a custom recovery, you can always flash a custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img) and flash a custom rom or restore from there. Here is CWM recovery incase you don't have a custom recovery, or you have reverted back to stock (Android with red exclamation point).
yes the android belly is open. I just don't the steps that I need to do from here. This is where I get lost.

Can you scroll through the menu options with your volume keys? And one of the options should be "reboot recovery." Do that one.
Yes I can scroll with volume controls. Here are my options: start, restart bootloader, recovery mode and power off

Okay dude.
1.) Move your volume keys to select recovery mode
2.) press the power button to actually select that option
3.) You will boot into your custom recovery
4.) EITHER Wipe Data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and then flash a new rom (or try re-flashing this jellybean rom you're having problems with) OR restore from a backup you have previously made (which I hope you did just incase something worse happens in the future).
You do know how to navigate through your custom recovery, right?

Where to begin...
I have had ARHD GSM 2.1.2 working flawlessly since I have had the phone. I put the charger in the phone, pulled it out straight away and the Wave Secure app tried to initiate (data backup on charger only). When I put the charger back in the battery (Circles Mod by Hoolm) was stuck flashing battery percentage and charge bolt even when not charging.
I thought it was a good time to do a fresh install anyway so I superwiped lite and flashed ARHD 2.1.5. Reinstalled all my apps from the market fresh and then tried to perform a titanium backup...
The phone turned off and is now stuck in a permanent boot loop. I managed to use mskip toolkit to put it in recovery once and ran superwipe, wipe dalvik, fix permissions, re-flash ARHD 2.1.5 and then reboot.
Now it is stuck in a permanent boot loop and I cannot get it into recovery...HELP!
The only alternate screen I can get to is the ODIN screen by holding vol down and power....it says downloading but nothing happens.
Can you use fastboot from the mobil odin screen?
Flash the recovery.img maybe.
But can you not get into the bootloader menu at all?
Unfortunately, no. It just says "downloading - do not turn off target" where the option to enter fastboot should be.

do you have a nandroid backup? if so, restore that. if you still bootloop, get back to recovery, wipe data and cache.
When I try and go to recovery I get the android bot with a red exclamation point coming out of it. It won't let me get to recovery.
Is this the point where something is definitely wrong and I have to send it to samsung for warranty repair?
I am pretty sure I can flash ICL53f and relock the bootloader.

You don't have the green android with the belly open that has 16 blue squares inside it? If you do, use the volume keys to move between Power off, Start, Restart bootloader, and Recovery mode. Press the power button in the "Recovery mode option." If you don't have this screen, then use fastboot commands, and flash Google Factory Images. You don't need to send it into Samsung for warranty, nothing is wrong. Lol.
I do have the recovery option from fastboot mode.
It is when I select recovery that I get the green android with the belly open and a exclamation point. It will not go any further once I select recovery.
I flashed ICL53F and I still get the exclamation when trying to get to recovery.

Here's an awesome custom recovery for CDMA
Went to recovery (when it was working) from fastboot. Flashed stock ICL53F.

I've lost ya... What is your situation now?
Do you have:
a: Stock recovery (droid on its back with red exclamation mark)
b: CWM recovery through MSKIP's tool
1. ARHD ROM
2. Stock ICL53F
x. a Boot loop
y. Not?
I think I see the disconnect now...
I have "droid on its back with red exclamation mark" (ICL53F - from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html)
I did not realise that a "droid on its back with red exclamation mark" was an indicator of stock recovery. So I guess I have that. I only used mskip to flash stock ICL53F not CWM recovery. I no longer have a boot loop but get the droid on back with exclamation (stock recovery).
So I should flash CWM, add ARHD zip and flash???

Hey guys. Got quite the problem here. My Sprint Galaxy Nexus is in an infinite boot. It just stays on the boot animation. I've left it there, at various times, for as long as 90 minutes. It first started after trying to flash the Jellin' 4.1 ROM and continued when I tried three other ROMs (using ADB push to put the ROMs onto my device). I then decided to use Odin, which may have made things worse, as now I do not have any ClockworkMod Recovery. Or any recovery at all, actually.
The only way I can get any data on the phone, at least as far as I can tell, is through Download mode. The leaked Sprint recovery tools also fail as soon as they try to start pushing data to the phone. I do not see my phone on the ADB devices list in either Download mode or the Boot menu. I have also tried to push CWM to my phone using Odin, but that seemed to need to boot into the OS to finish, so that also failed.
If anyone has any suggestions here, I would be incredibly appreciative. I have exhausted my knowledge of flashing and un-bricking devices here. Perhaps there is a different image I should be flashing using Odin? Only the FD02 image in this thread actually completes a load in Odin. The other sits at the "SYSTEM" phase.
you should be able to get into fastboot by holding both volume buttons then holding power, but the fd02 .tar should install stock rom and recovery. perhaps try re-downloading? place the .tar in pda section and only have auto-reboot checked then begin the flash.

I'm confused here. Can you boot into fastboot mode (turn off, then hold vol up and vol down, and press power)? If so, then you should need to mess around with Odin. Just download a toroplus CWM (or TWRP) recovery and flash it to your device using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img. Then go into recovery, wipe /data and /cache, flash a stock kernel, and it should boot for you.

I wasn't aware you could use fastboot like that. But I did. And I managed to get ClockworkMod reinstalled and used that to wipe all my data and cache, as you suggested, and flash a new ROM. Worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks to shimp208 for the sideload method and working CWM, ChainFire for awesome SuperSU and to all the developers who are worked on CWM recovery!

If you go into fastboot mode then choose recovery to get to the screen with the red triangle, keep pressing the power button and volume buttons randomly until the stock recovery pops up. From there do a factory reset and it'll work, I just did it to mine!
I flashed the CWM recovery img so when I do what you say it takes me to the bootloader screen and says Downloading. No red triangle. It boots into CWM and then after 20 seconds restarts itself and hits the bootanimation loop. Any clue what to do next? Trying to flash the stock image but having issues using cmds in windows cmd

Thing is it will delete the CWM recovery when you leave it so you'll have to reflash it, which is why this is so unstable!
I had the exact same thing as you and this is what I did:
Press the power button to turn it off while it says downloading
Hold both volume buttons down and power on to get into fastboot
Choose recovery
Press power and volume buttons randomly when the red triangle appears until you get stock recovery
Choose Factory Reset
Reboot
You should be able to get back into the rom that way,
to root it you need to boot into fastboot again, reflash the recovery, and sideload the superuser apk

Yeah this is exactly what I did and it worked. I'll wait on flashing anything until there's a stable recovery. I was fairly confident in what I was doing until that happened. Not being able to input commands from cmd prompt made me sick so I'll wait for a dev to release something that works without having to quickly install the drivers again within a 15-20 second timeframe. Too much stress.

When I try to install the manta drivers manually and tell it to search the same area that it searched and found the android bootloader drivers for fastboot mode it says that the drivers couldn't be found and installed. Am I missing something? Also if i try to do fastboot flash recovery it gives me an error message stating that it cannot determine the image filename for the recovery image.
Well i guess i did it the long way around.
Went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
and downloaded the Nexus 10 file. extracted, and the actual files in the Nexus10Root folder.
Opened the flash-all.sh and entered each command manually because it was erroring out running the script.
After the 3rd command it booted right into android!
Hi all, after some modding it seems that my nexus 7 2013 lte custom recovery is vanished. I've tried to flash it via adb, I've flashed the new 5.1 official image, but nothing happen. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode, via adb or power+volume up, all I get is a dead android robot logo with no options.
And, btw, my N7 works perfectly
What can I do?
Thanks
When you flash a new android version you lose root and custom recovery, you need to root and flash custom recovery again as your currently on stock, when that robot is on his back you also have hold down a button combo to access the fastboot / bootloader or recovery, unless you send it the command via adb.
My advice is re-root using cfautoroot and flash custom recovery with flashify.
Ok, thanks! I've flashed twrp (I'm still no-root) and it works fine. Now is there any possibility to come back on stock recovery?
Flashify premium allows you to download and flash stock recovery or bootloader,
if you can't afford it or there not available for dl yet you can alternatively extract the .img files
from the factory image and flash them instead.

Nothing to do. I've extracted the img file from the factory image and flashed it via fastboot but, when I restart the device in recovery mode, it still shows the green half dead androidbot
^Thats normal. When you get to that screen you have to press volume up, down and power all at the same time, all three buttons. Just keep pressing them all at once a few times and it'll let you into stock recovery. It took me about 10 minutes to get in the first time. Don't hold the buttons, a quick press.

So you're saying that normally, on a Nexus 7 with no root and with stock recovery, the combination key to enter in the recovery isn't power+volume up ? Sorry for repeating, but I'm new at modding
I'm saying when you boot into recovery and it gives you the dead android (on it's back I think?) do what I said above.

Yeah it's pita to press, it's why I prefer to launch recovery from flashify or quick boot it's so much easier.
Android seems to love doing things arsed about faced / over complicated it should just be an option in settings, power off like
custom roms along with wireless adb.
