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 !

Cheers but I don't see anything in clockwork mod recovery for fastboot mode, I'll go to an Internet cafe tomorrow and do it if I could just get specific instructions.
Thanks again folks for your assistance

That is what I've always done but all I can see is - start - restart bootloader - recovery mode - power off, and I cannot see anything for fastboot mode (unless I'm going blind)

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.

Phone only boots into fast boot mode

I just flashed latest trickdoid rom on my ATT HTC one and it paused in recovery. I then had to go back to fast boot mode. Now I can't boot into my cwm recovery or reboot my phone. I can only stay in fast boot mode. I tried flashing using computer and fast boot mode but still nothing. Any ideas. Thanks in advance

Did you try re-flashing CWM from your PC? I had a similar problem a few nights ago. The CWM logo would flash up for a half second then reboot continuously. I could only get it into fast boot also.

What happens when you try to flash with cmd? Does it seem as if it worked or does it return a fault?

[Q] htc one failed TWRP installation

Hello, needing some help. Unlocked boot loader and tried to install twrp 2.5.0.0.m7. Phone Booted into recovery but was not able to install superuser as download directory would not show up. I can still fastboot flash to phone and can on a couple occasions get twrp to start.
at this point I just want the phone to work work. It is stuck at "htc quietly brilliant" screen. I could see the directory from androzip but when I try to install Superuser it wont find it.

I have dl and installed that version. It did find super user and installed. That being said it still gets stuck on that screen. I think perhaps I have deleted factory rom. I have been watching vid on installing Viper rom but it kinda brushes over moving the file to the phone. I assume it is a fastbook flash command? I get a unknown partition error and cannot determine image if i do that. Help has been great so far thanks all.

See if this post helps you

are you able to get into bootloaer in recovery?

Yes I can do almost anything but get the damn thing to work. Now the phone will go directly to twrp at start up. I can get usb otg to mount and start to load zip. But it hangs and reboots before it extracts. My thought is root hasnt taken do to wrong img file on front end. So my thought is to reinstall ruu and if I get it to go and try rooting afterwards. ??????

[Q] HUGE problem

Hello,
I rooted my phone correctly(lost everything thought)and then i tried to flash cyanogen mod 10.1
After doing that , via fastboot mode i rebooted my phone into system.
After that, i plugged my phone to the computer but the only light that is shown is red and when i try to put it into fastboot mode the light flashes 3 times(i suppose its telling me that there is no battery).
The phone does not charge when i plug it to a regular charger, only a red stable light is on when it is plugged to the computer but even in this way of charging it, it cannot start.To tell you the truth it only started once in recovery mode and then it couldnt start again.

Did you unlock your boot loader first!?!?

Pure Edition Stuck in Stock Recovery

Got stuck returning to stock using the All in One Tool...had to start over. Now I'm stuck with just the factory recovery (dead android), nothing is working, sideload keeps giving me errors when trying to adb sideload recovery.zip...can't get anything to work.

Are you able to use the button combo to get past dead Andy so that you can wipe cache or factory reset? Power button, then press & release Volume Up?

Yea I can, I've cleared everything, there is no OS installed what so ever. I've tried to sideload various stock and custom roms, along with recovery zips and imgs...nothing is working, everything is saying "Installation Aborted" after it tries to verify the package.

Can you get into fastboot? If so, you need to reflash the stick firmware. You're not going to be able to flash anything from the stock recovery.

Yea fastboot is the menu that shows if the boot loader is unlocked, right? Where the menu is normal power up, recovery, factory, barcode...etc.
I've tried to connect to fastboot this way and nothing happens.
