Install a terminal from google play and typ this:
Code:

Do the 3 wipes and wipe battery stats (in advanced options)
Go to mounts and storage, mount system and format it
Flash again your new rom

Well, but you can flash SGSII rom or CM10.1 (e.g.) and pushing and holding power botton a poup up will show you, allowing you to booting in DOWNLOAD mode and then you'll able to flash a fresh stock via Odi, maybe It'll fix your trouble

[Q] Cannot load back up

I have cm7 and I install the new update every night, and it works fine. I then installed a new kernel 2.6.35.11 AP #2 and every thing continued to work fine. I then went to install RC 4 and when my phone reboots to go into recovery it just doesnt go into recovery it just stays at HTC white screen. This happens Evan if I try to boot up and hold home no matter what I do I cannot get into recovery. So I cannot restore a back up or put the old kernal back on or update my rom. Any ideas would be helpfull.

Re-Flash the same recovery you were using.

Or you could RUU and start from scratch. As long as you reinstall the same recovery, you can nand restore.
What is ruu? I can't flash anything if it doesn't go into recovery???

That's what RUU does. Go to the HTC site and download the stock Sprint software update, or get it from here.
were talking about flashing a new recovery via rom manager, not a rom. Either reflash cw via rom manager or alternate like ra from bottom of screen on rom manager. It flashes right inside rom manager, doesnt take you to recovery. If that doesnt work do the ruu.
I found out how to do this connect your charger than turn your phone on and then pull battery out. Then hold volume down and home and then press home again to go to recovery and install zip files again and it will work. I did this and it worked.
Thank you so much that worked perfectly, the last post that is.

Is my Nexus completely dead?

Long post but can't really shorten it.
32GB wifi Nexus, rooted and was running Liquid Smooth ROM and Motley kernel, went to update the ROM to rc9 version ,anytime I updated previously I never done full wipe unless using different ROM, anyway flashed the ROM and the gaaps with it and rebooted, immediately and prompted to me to use either apex or Holo HD I choose Holo HD got error saying system ui not responding, tried apex and got the same.
I was on the main screen but couldn't access it, yet I could pull down and enter into settings, everything else looked to be ok, so rebooted back to recovery and tried fixing permission, rebooted and got the same so I though I'll be just restore my nandroid backup, to my astonishment all the data had been wiped, I didn't do a wipe at all so I'm baffled how this happened.
Anyway I done a factory reset and rebooted and went through the setup, got the same system ui not responding, went to settings which could still access, apps and un installed both Apex and Holo HD noticed that Liquid Smooth rc9 had installed but instead of showing the cm kernel it still showed motley kernel.
Back to recovery, factory reset twice, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, went through set up process, same system ui error again, went to settings, erased all data, tablet rebooted, set up process same again, system ui, so I'm getting worried so back to recovery and this time I selected format system, data and sd, card and now I think I've completely fuc#ed it up as it just hangs at the Google screen and has stayed like that for over 30 minutes.
Previously asides from the occasional force close issue in the 2 months I've had the Nexus not really had a problem with it and whilst I'm no developer or techy geek I'm certainly no noob when it comes to this type of thing but I'm very concerned now and hoping someone can be of assistance as I sold laptop and primary just use my Nexus (and Galaxy S3)
Thanks

Strange.. But I didn't understand well, after wiping /system, did you flash the ROM back ?
I think you should flash 4.2.1 factory image using toolkit or whatever, then root etc..again
No all the data had been wiped this is what is baffling me, I didn't do a factory reset I just flashed the ROM and gaaps, as I said initially it was the system ui error I was getting but I think I've fucjed it up by formatting the system, data and sd card as all I can see now is the Google screen at boot, I can still get into clock work mod recovery but I've exhausted all avenues as it were, is there any hope I can get it back working again?

Yes ! Really easy to use. You'll just have to put the tab into fastboot mode give it a try I'm pretty sure it will solve everything and you'll start back with good bases as it is full stock !

First Download and install the fastboot drivers...Download the stock Image here:-
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
then hold volume-(Down) Button and while holding the Button power on the device..it will take you into the bootloader. Now conne4ct the nexus to your PC...Now extract the file you downloaded (the Stock image)..keep extracting the files till you get the system.img file.Use fastboot to flash that(the command):
fastboot flash system system.img
Boot into fast boot, push a stock image. Ta da. Easy stuff. The basics.

Another brick in the wall - this is what I tried so far

Hi everyone,
I have had Zeus 7.6 (GB based) for a long time, but the other day it started freezing a couple of times a day, and other weird things, so I thought: it's time to give ICS a go.
I then used SmartFlash Tool to install the latest official ICS for Spain... and there started my nightmare. Apparently the install went fine, but now every time the phone boots, I get the initial Android Install screen, which I can configure, but if I enter my google account, the phone goes crazy and I keep seeing warnings of processes crashing (even android.core or something like that). If I turn off my phone, and on again, it will get stuck in the LG logo. Then I remove battery, wait a while, turn on... and it boots again, but cannot do much.
I have tried doing hard reset using LG hidden menu, also from the Android settings did a reset, and everything seems to go well, but the 2nd time it boots, it always freezes in LG logo.
I have flashed Froyo, Gingerbread and ICS versions using smartflash tool, but no matter what, even when it seems to go ok, the version that always boots is ICS (after the software is upgraded, there is a reset of the phone, and LG logo again).
I have even tried recovery using the official LG mobile support tool.
Last thing I tried I read somewhere: I boot pressing Vol - and G button... and I only see a robot lying on the ground (scary!) with a warninig sign, can't get past it.
My guess is that something is corrupt, but I don't know how to do a full wipe without being able to go to recovery.
Can you suggest anything else to try? I'm really lost here and wouldn't want to be forced to buy a new phone yet!
Thanks so much in advance
If you have cwm backup of your 2.2 or 2.3 then you can try one more thing....install cwm patched 2.3 with sft and when it completes flash it will take you to cwm ...now directly restore your old cwm backup
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
If it still is zeus, simply keep pressing g key during boot and you should be able to get into recovery. Or is it always ics, that boots?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it's ICS (Spain version) that boots. I had it flashed after Zeus, and now no matter which ROM I flash, I have that ICS version (the flashing always goes fine, but when the phone reboots it hangs at LG logo)
Still trying to find a way to revive my little OB...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

It happens when you flash ICS....for me when I went back to 2.2 or 2.3 it failed to detect my internal memory....but as I always do a android backup. ...I flashed patched 2.3 and did a restore of my backup and my phone was all working again...that is why I suggested to use a backup if you have.

Not even this method worked? This is usually my "safety procedure", I always keep a v20s patched with CWM on my PC, to flash with SFT when something goes wrong. Then, when it ends, the phone reboots in recovery...

[PROBLEM=SOLVED] Unable to flash ROM in CWM

Here is the problem: the phone is only able to boot in to cwm. I dont know what happened, but the system got wiped. The process of flashing a ROM goes well but when i reboot the system is wiped again and it boots into cwm.
Is there a way to solve this problem with the phone only, because i dont have the necessary programs on my laptop to solve this problem in a different way, and i wont be able to download them for another week. I do have adb on laptop but i dont know if it could help the situation.

Try removing the battery then put it back in. Turn it on pressing power and volume up. In recovery choose reboot system.

Already did that, but the problem is that after reboot there isnt a system to boot into. So it boots in cwm.

It might be different with this phone, but the phones I've had with a blank system didn't boot into recovery, you'd either get a boot loop or just a blank screen.
I've had the recovery boot loop before and the only way to get out of it was to boot into recovery manually (rather than let it boot into it itself). Which meant removing the battery for about 10 seconds, then making sure when you boot into recovery you initiate it before it does itself.
If it is a blank system then I'd suggest just trying to somehow get a ROM on your phone to flash.
Did you not make a nandroid?
