[Q] Cannot get out of boot animation nor flash by odin or fastboot - Help please

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have a GNex on my hands.
While I received it to fix; I could not get it past a bootloop from the nexus 4.0.4 Boot.
Problem is I cannot seem to get past the boot animation screen nor upgrade it.
Tried flashing another bootloader via fastboot, and the bootloader does not change, stays in same version.
HW Version : 9
Bootloader version : PRIMEKK15
Baseband version : I9250XXKK6
I proceed doing a fastboot erase bootloader and trying another bootloader, rebooting into another bootloader but no luck
Tried also ODIN flash but no luck; stays into the same
Booting into recovery mode goes into stock recovery and tries to flash a file from /cache
By trying to flash CWM via fastboot flash recovery <cwm image> flashes image but no luck on booting into CWM.
Anbody can lend a hand please?
Thanks!

You can flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Then you can acces the custom recovery and adb push your ROM and gapps. Then you do the wipes and flash the ROM and gapps. If you dont understand anything you just have to tell me

Thanks mrgnex. I've tried flashing TWRP, but the only thing it does is boot into stock recovery and tries to flash a file from /cache/, which file is: 5a81769b6d01.signed-yakju-IMM76I-from-ICL53F.5a81769b.zip; pretty weird. Issue is the same as this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909331&page=4

use: fastboot boot recovery.img

and "recovery.img" which recovery do you suggest? twrp or a CWM in particular?

doesnt matter. whichever.

While now I'm trying to install latest TWRP (already did and no luck) I'm downloading the pack from the "Have you read this?".
The things that I'm seeing right now that seem to be wrong are:
1 - everytime I reboot the phone, the "fastboot oem unlock" seems to be gone and phone re-locks again (weird!)
2 - every change I make to the filesystem, seems to be non-persistent I/E: push something via adb push and on reboot it's gone! :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you elaborate on why exactly you were not able to install TWRP?

Surely:
1 - Unlock via fastboot oem unlock
2 - fastboot erase recovery (exits with ok)
3 - fastboot flash recovery twrp_versiondoesnotmatter.img (exits with ok)
4 - reboot w/power+vlup+voldown and select reboot recovery
5 - stock recovery appears
an alternate method that i've tried:
1 - Unlock via fastboot oem unlock
2 - fastboot boot twrp_versiondoesnotmatter.img (exits with ok)
3 - TWRP boots and flashes a zipfile from /cache/ then reboots automatically
That's what happens. A mistery, huh?
Also I've tried OMAP Flash, and; the same issue happens over and over again

Have you tried doing a factory reset using the stock recovery?

AFAIK, Yes
What happens once I start the stock recovery; as I've already stated; starts flashing a zip file located into /cache/ (5a81769b6d01.signed-yakju-IMM76I-from-ICL53F.5a81769b.zip); then bleh, starts the bootloop again.
I've tried the power+volup then selected wipe cache and wipe system and it's the same.

Did you try flash google's stock images (all of them) ?
Also try flashing TWRP in the boot (kennel) partition by :-
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path to twrp>.img
This will force the phone into Recovery (But you will have recovery bootloop , can be solved by flashing a kernel) .
when you boot into recovery install a Kernel and ROM . also you will lose the recovery after that .
You can flash the TWRP from the TWRP itself (to put it in the right partition) by (in the build in terminal) :-
Code:
dd if=/<path to twrp in SD>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Good Luck .

fastboot flash boot <path to twrp>.img does not boot the recovery . I mean; still boots the normal Kernel.
Actually I'm trying what TheMysteriousOne told me by downloading the stock Gnex zip (250Mb) to flash via Odin.

Ohh, bad luck strikes again:
<ID:0/011> system.img
<ID:0/011> Complete(Write) operation failed.
cannot write system.img :/
Any ideas?

Unlock your bootloader with omapflash. Although even if it does unlock, Your emmc/board probably has died.

can you please me guide how to do the omapflash?
I've downloaded a file called OMAPFlash_tuna.zip.
- Set battery of the device aside
- Plug device into USB, let it detect the device and flash the SBF I think.
That'd be all?

Pardon me, if EMMC/Board is dead; why does it boot or get into bootloop? There is something that reflashes itself; it even overrides odin or heimdall...

Have you tried going back to completely stock using the method outlined here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

You need to flash a new recovery I think,
I think touch is supported with TWRP 2.5 or 2.6, or philz touch recovery.
I believe that if you flash the new TWRP over the old one, your backups are safe and touch is restored.

There are no RUU's ..
Best thing to do is to get your recovery working.
Are you sure that after you flashed the recovery you did:
fastboot erase cache
and are you sure your phone is international?

boot.img refers to the actual boot.img you have so you need the correct path to it.
or simple do:
fastboot flash boot (then drag on the boot.img file) 'return'

Leave it to boot for a couple of minutes. If you flashed the boot.img right it should boot up.

Soft Bricked Oppo Find 7

Hi everyone. I bought this Find 7 today in hopes that I could get it running. The previous owner apparently went to flash cm11 and he soft bricked it. The phone will power on to the start screen the the screen stays black and goes on and off. I can get to fastboot but not recovery. I have read in the oppo forums that I need to push the stock recovery too it but am unfamiliar with fastboot.. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I got it to boot up following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/help/bricked-7-t2897376. Then I went to wipe it and I'm back where I started. The Msm Downloader is japanese so I don't understand what half of it means. Must have been a fluke it booted up.

I got it to boot up again. I'm not sure what I should do with it next. There is no recovery installed.

If you can get to fastboot, download a recovery, navigate to that recovery, use
fastboot flash recovery x.img
Where x is the name of the file. Hold down power and volume down until phone vibrates, and you should be in recovery

You can place the .img file anywhere you want, but you just have to specify the path and name of the recovery image on the fastboot flash command. For example: fastboot flash recovery C:\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-find7.img (this is if you put the recovery image in the root directory of C drive)
