Suddenly my Nexus won't boot up, instead it will stay at X logo animation, no mattery how many times I reboot it. I can't get into recovery with volume down + power up button, but I can access recovery via fastboot.
What should I do? I really don't want to loose my data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and best regards.
p.s.: I have Cataclysm ROM 4.3 with TWRP. I've tried to reflash it, but it's still the same.

If you really don't want to lose any data, create a back up and then adb pull the file to your computer. That way you can backup the file after you restore another ROM. Hopefully that'll solve your problem.

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).

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?

Also, if you get stuck on bootloop after unlocking bootloader (This happened to me couple times), do a factory reset in stock recovery to fix:
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!
So the CWM that was just updated by Koushik on CWM does not work properly or does it work? Was asking based on this
While CWM Recovery is still being fixed

How do I flash the stock recovery? CWM isn't working and I tried to update the driver like in the video but couldn't find the "manta" that I needed to update. I'm just stuck in bootloop animation now. I'm downloading the stock image right now to try and flash it back to stock..

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
*edit
I cleared cache through cmd and i got to the red triangle...thank ****ing the lord. DTWAZERE, I will remember tonight. Thank you for your help.

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.

How do we get back to stock? Might need to reattempt this.
If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!
NOTE: fastboot -w will wipe your internal storage completely

THIS WORKED!!
Youre a genius. thanks!
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,
I tried using CWM to flash Atomic GB to my Xperia Play 800x, and when it gets to the loading screen, the logo thing just spins. It does not work. I tried getting back in the recovery system to restore my phone to my backup, but when I take the battery out, and turn it back on, it won't boot into recovery. I'm pressing the vol down button, but it won't boot to recovery. What do I do? Please help.
Thank you.
Got It

Forgot that I could use flash boot to reflash stock firmware. So I was able to start over. Whew...
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.

I had a similar problem as you, managed to get into fastboot, but no recovery at all, neither stock nor TWRP. Flashing TWRP again didn't help, although process ended successfully.
Same thing for flashing the whole ROM.

After flashing, try to boot directly to recovery by pressing the button combination.
I got it to work in the end by flashing CM recovery and then working my way from there
