recovery loop problem

I now cannot get into an operating system. The device loads FFF 1.4a says "booting" goes blank for a little while then comes back to the 1.4a screen and says "booting" again and loads up TWRP. This is how I got to this point:
I recently decided to go from an older CM7 rom to a new jb one.
Because I had an older version of FFF and had a CWM recovery, I downloaded the new version of FFF (1.4a) and the newest version of TWRP (2.2.0) (flashable zip file) as well as the new jellybean rom and jb gapps. I checked all md5s prior to doing anything.
I booted into recovery and created a backup in CWM. I then cleared cache and Davlic cache and installed FFF 1.4a. I then rebooted to CM7. After loading CM7, I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and davlic cache and installed TWRP 2.2.0. I then rebooted into CM7, rebooted into recovery. I then cleared cache, davlic cache, factory reset, and wiped system. I then installed CM10 and jb gapps and attempted to reboot to system, but have not ever been able to get there.
I have tried installing the CM7 rom I had before, no difference, CM9 rom, no difference. I tried to use a recovery file I had, still no good.
Adb does not seem to behaving properly as well. I can't seem to be able to get the device into fastboot mode for one. In TWRP I can see the device as the following:
4B8E000600000001 recovery
when I try to change the bootmode, this is how it behaves:
adb shell
~ # <-[6n idme bootmode 4002
/sbin/sh: idme: not found
KFU also seems to not be much help at changing the bootmode. I have tried older version as sited elsewhere (0.9, 0.3), but these fair no better.
Also, In my haste and desire to get this working I thought,"maybe there is some conflict with the sd card", so I wiped that only to realize while wiping that I never backed up my recovery files, "doh!".
Also, I have full battery.
I am a noob, so I could have done anything wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

When you get to the bootloader screen select boot normal in the boot menu by quickly depressing your power button a few times if it does not boot normal then flash the bootloader again in recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632375 also you will have to mount your sdcard in twrp to do so make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then mount transfer 1.4a bootloader a new ROM and gapps then unmount flash bootloader reboot it get back to twrp wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash ROM flash gapps select reboot if prompted select system see where your at after that

Can't boot into rom or wipe phone. Completely stuck, please help!

This morning I found my phone stuck on the boot logo displaying the model number. Nothing I can do gets it to go past this screen (I can boot into TWRP recovery and Download mode). The following are things I have tried:
1. Boot into recovery and wipe Dalvik/Cache (Nothing changes)
2. Boot into recovery and Factory reset (Factory reset fails)
3. Boot into recovery and advanced wipe all partitions (Wipe fails, can't access /data/media)
4. Boot into recovery and format data (Seems to work asks for restart but nothing changes)
5. Boot into recovery and install clean CM Rom (Seems to succeed but still doesn't go past boot on restart)
5. Boot into download and attempt restore to stock using Samsung Kies (Fails when trying to flash stock to phone)
6. Boot into download and attempt to flash stock using Odin (Fails)
7. Boot into download and attempt to re-partition using .pit file and restore stock firmware (Fails when trying to re-partition)
Everything I've tried just seems to fail and the phone still doesn't go past the boot logo. I can still boot into recovery and download mode. Please help I'm at wits end.

Cannot load image fastboot

I've recently tried to update my radio and bootloader to the latest versions, i was on a custom rom (7.1.1), I've updated the bootloader and radio via fastboot and wiped the cache then rebooted then my phone was stuck in a never ending boot and all is saw was the boot animation, i decided to reboot the phone so i held the power button until it restarted and to avail, the same thing happened. I rebooted to twrp and tried to wipe the cache and dalvik/ART cache and i got an error that it cannot be mounted and the partition size was at 0mb and twrp could not repair it either, and it could not format any of my partitions, so i tried to return to stock and i tried to flash the images from the stock .zip provided by google and it said that it could not load any images. I can access download mode and twrp, any solutions? (someone said to flash the vendor image after flashing both the radio and bootloader images? could that have cause my problem because it did not flash it?
i was on the latest vendor already)
thanks.
EDIT: after continuously trying to wipe the cache & dalvik/ART cache in twrp it worked and it recognized the partitions and it wiped and my device was able to boot, i'm not sure what caused the problem but it boots properly now, although i'm not sure if i can flash in fastboot again, otherwise it works.

Bricked? Solutions?

Hello.
Tried flashing older stock rom via TWRP.
TWRP installed fine, worked fine, flashed vbmeta, still everything worked.
Downloaded ROM, put it into the sd card, went into twrp, formatted data, rebooted into twrp again, wiped Dalvik/ART cache, cache, system, vendor and internal memory, tried flashing, gave error 7, with "mkdir folder file not existing or whatever". In twrp i went into terminal, made a directory /cache/recovery, tried flashing, worked. Wiped dalvik and when i tried to reboot, the backlight turns on for a split moment and then it turns off.
Recovery does the same, and fastboot lights up the screen with the image of fastboot but it turns off. Plugging it with the usb makes it so it repeatedly turn on backlight and off again.
What does this mean? Device dead? Any help?
Thank you.

Maybe try flashing a custom rom

With what tools if I may ask? Any advice you can give me?
Fastboot doesn't stay on like it should, the screen just flashes the fastboot picture and it restarts again. Recovery does the same.

Try following bliss rom guide with installation of twrp

Trying to do anything with ADB tools just gives me a "< waiting for any device >".

I'm sure there's other ways of flashing twrp

i think it's dead
-when the twrp gave you the error you should log it
-you should format data after flashing a rom ,not before (and only few roms require it)
your only option is flash VBMETA then TWRP again and see if it work
use the unofficial twrp : (3.3.10)

You should have formatted data partition after flashing the rom(not manually create those folders). You would be okay.

Any solution?
