You need CM recovery to use the factory reset option in a cm rom.
Twrp is boot looping as it's continually attempting to run the wipe command stored in cache.
You need to wipe the cache.
Reboot to the boot loader. In Fastboot mode use FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE.
A little late.

Yesterday I wanted to flash the new CWM (5.8.4.0) but I accidentally flash using fastboot boot boot.img
Then it kept rebooting into recovery
After panicking a few times, I used Hasoon2000's allinonekit to flash stock recovery, stock kernel, relocked and reunlocked bootloader, factory reset through hboot.
Now im in a bootloop but instead of the usual htc with beats that i usually get, a simple logo featuring the word "android" is all that showed up on my screen. Sometime when I restart it would show a harddisk or something like that with a green refresh logo. In cwm my phone can't detect my sd so I can't flash my nandroid backup.
Can someone help this noob
Boot into fastboot.
First turn on the phone.
Hold both Power and Volume Down until the screen turns black, after two seconds release the power button only, it should boot you into fastboot, you can also try just holding both buttons, not sure about that so if it won't boot into fastboot try both ways!
When it boots into fastboot, open up command prompt and execute the command fastboot erase cache, this should make you able to boot into recovery again.
Good luck!
I can access recovery now. The problem now is the android bootloops

Do you have any ROMS on your SDCard?
If you do, follow these steps please!
First of all, find the boot.img of the ROM you have on your SDCard, do this by downloading the ROM to your computer again and extracting the boot.img or using franco's or whatever other one there is.
Put the boot.img into the directory where your fastboot.exe is located, boot back into Fastboot and execute the following commands, fastboot flash boot boot.img and then fastboot erase cache.
Boot into recovery from fastboot, Wipe Data -> Wipe Cache, browse for the ROM and flash it, this should fix your phone!
I was running ARHD 6.1.1 before. but like I said in CWM it cant detect my sd,
it says there is no such file. any ideas?

Put phone into Fastboot and run following commands.
fastboot flash recovery r1--recovery-clockwork-touch-endeavoru.img
fastboot erase cache
Boot into recovery see if it recognizes the SD.
flashed that recovery, cleared the cache
when I went into recovery i chose zip from sdcard but then no files found
in Hboot it said SD checking...
failed to open usb master mode
failed to open usb master mode
only then would it show the options:

what is your recovery version? 5.8.4.0?
If you flash the latest recovery 5.8.4.0, then you should be able to view your SD Card and also infact,
if you go to ADVANCED Mode in the latest Recovery, connect the USB, it will detect your PC. Transfer the required files.
You have recovery now, try mounting the SD Card. Make sure you have enough charge ( >50%)
Please do not panic!
I will try that. Although i don't know how much battery I have left cause it suddenly turns on and bootloops after I charge for a particular amount of time
did you fix your phone now? if you fix pls mail [email protected] me cos we have same problem im using HOX stock " android logo "
even i put file on cwm 5.8.4.0 SD failed open master mode
So basically I tried install Energy ROM.
Backed up, wiped, cache wiped, installed zip.
Then click Reboot in TWRP, nope, goes back to yellow triangle and I can go to recovery or keep boot looping.
So I do adb shell, idme bootmode 4000, reboot. Hoping that would work, it doesn't.
Still boot loops.
How can I fix this?
Of course wipe all except your SD card flash ROM flash gapps go back to mount and make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data if so uncheck them then reboot if it loops again do basic wipes and flash again

Holy s--- it worked. Data was mounted. I've spent maybe 10 hours on this, thanks so much for helping me!
EDIT: Energy booted with the animation for two minutes, then went to that default on-black screen. Help? Now it won't go on, even not into recovery.
What kinda wipes did you do? Hold your power button down for 1 min then turn on when back in recovery wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash ROM flash gapps if required check your mounting situation then reboot select system if prompted it should reboot fine

Don't think its even possible to break your recovery by a bad flash
Also later there are much easier ways to upgrade your bootloader

You must click power key and wait led to change orange color in the yellow triangle screen. If now still boot loop, You should flash bootloader.
fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
I'm a dummy.
First off, I'm still S-On.
I was attempting to flash a GPe ROM using TWRP and figured I'd wipe my phone while I was waiting for ROM to download. I clicked 'Wipe' and after not very carefully choosing my option and typing 'yes' (bottom right button, the one that nukes everything) I found that I couldn't keep my Recovery partitions running because they couldn't mount to the internal storage. TWRP just flickers before finally rebooting into a loop and Philz runs for about 20 seconds while giving me errors that it can't open or mount to `cache/recovery/...` before rebooting into the loop.
I've tried formatting the directories in Philz in separate 20 second windows by hand and have managed to make my way through the list (/cache, /data, /system, etc) to no avail. The errors that Philz gives that it can't open or mount to `/cache/recovery/...` are gone, but there is still only 20 seconds that I'm able to use it before rebooting into a loop. I've tried booting into recoveries with `fastboot boot boot/recovery.img` but those only stay running as long as the flashed recoveries (BTW I've downloaded all the recoveries and ROMs I'm trying multiple times).
It seems like the only thing I have at my disposal right now is Fastboot; ADB works in the 20 second windows, but I haven't been able to find anything on how to fix this and can't do much by myself in 20 seconds; I've tried to use RebootRUU, but as far as I can tell that just brings me to a black screen with HTC and gives me access to Fastboot.
I have no idea what to attempt next, does anyone have any thoughts or pointers? Thank you.

Try flashing the stock recovery and then factory reset in bootloader then try custom recovery again.

That's OK. Press volume up and down a few times and select factory reset eventually. It takes a few tries and it will show up

Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot and make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running <<<Important!
Phone will go out and start bootlooping. Now power off and go back to bootloader mode:
Go into fastboot
fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can go into custom recovery and you should be good to go now.

That just means you have a stock recovery installed but no update to install, press volume up and the power button to enter the stock recovery when you see the red triangle.

Quick question, is it always best practice to always clear out your cache? is there any risk in clearing it?
Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi (flo)
Came stock with 4.4.4
Tried following guide for flashing a custom setup, it failed, gave up, tried to restore default with Nexus Root Toolkit v2.0.5.
Toolkit says it completes properly flashing bootloader, boot, cache, recovery, system.
Enter into recovery mode, wipe userdata, but cache cannot be mounted, fails repeatedly.
Device is stuck in boot loop between recovery and "Google" logo.
Tried:
fastboot format cache
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -w update <stock zip from google developer's page directly>
Photo attached.
any suggestions?

Try to restore stock firmware with NRT.
Choose "Current status": Soft-Bricked/Bootloop.
So before I get linked to a bunch of solutions, here's what I've tried so far as I do have fastboot access:
I've tried flashing the latest factory image from Google. Both manually from fastboot and with NRT, all to no avail. It shows the Google logo then reboots repeatedly. I've tried entering recovery to factory reset there after flashing, but the device won't get into recovery.
I've also tried this method, but I can't get the device to enter download mode. It shows that it's entering it for a moment when I plug it into my computer while holding volume up, but then reboots into the bootloop again.
There's one weird thing that should be noted that makes me think this is some weird software issue, and not a hardware failure. I let the device bootloop all night last night until the battery died. When I powered it on this morning it went all the way to the Android setup page where you select wifi, etc and go from there. However, when I plugged it in and kept going through setup, it rebooted and has been looping since. I've contacted Google and they're supposed to conference call me with LG to see what we can do. Do I have any options other than that? Thanks for any help.
From bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot format cache
fastboot erase user
fastboot format user
BTW what exactly is happening when you say it doesn't enter recovery?

what if you try
fastboot boot twrp.img
I've bootlooped so many times I don't know where to start.
So you flashed the factory IMG from your bootloader correct.
Fastboot -w will wipe without wiping system.
Then reflash your whole system. I would redownload from the Google site through Skipsoft...the easiest way. When it asks to keep or flash new recovery you want to flash the stock recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...olkit-skipsoft-android-toolkit-nexus-t3230444
You'll have to reroot afterwards which you can also do through skipsoft.
Profit... Thank me if I helped.
It's a Hardware issue. Installing system again will not fix it. Send it to LG for a repair. My phone had the same issue.
