You need to be using an older CWM.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'you did that'. You did what? Use an older CWM? Did it install the zip properly? You need to be more specific. The 8 failed boot will not work without the stock recovery installed. If you just want stock back, use an old recovery to flash the stock ROM zip I have linked in item A15 in my NC Tips thread linked in my signature.

the things i have done are installing the stock recovery using the old CWM, flashing the stock rom thats signed for cwm and also doing the 8 failed reboot

You said the stock recovery zip failed when you tried to flash with an error about the number of arguments. I suggested that you use an older CWM. You said you tried that. But you did not say if it installed then without the error message. And you do not describe what it does when you try the 8 failed boot procedure. And did the stock ROM install complete successfully?
What are your symptoms? What does it boot to?

With the new boot loader unlock it comes time to use a recovery other than safe strap. The easiest way to flash a custom recovery, in this case, clockwordmod recovery, is to simply download ROM Manager and use it to flash the Motorola Photon Q version of CWM Recovery. I flashed it and booted into it and haven't experienced any problems as of yet so for those looking for a custom recovery straight out of the gate, this is for you.

Nice i don't know if i should try it or wait for an official one for our device. In the mean time back to my nexus 4

If you really want to give it a spin you can always flash the Photon Q version otherwise I'm sure there will be an official version ported soon

Have you flashed anything with it?
I haven't actually tried yet flashing a ROM but since I'm on stock and don't want to flash white yet I haven't had the opportunity, as long as its flashing to the device it should work with no problems

So far, i have installed the cwm for the photon q like you, and made a back up through it. Im going to see if it will restore from it as well. ill keep everyone updated.:good:
:edit: I sucessfully backed up my stock JB rom, wiped everything, and restored everything back and everythings perfect... I dont know what else to try before attempting to flash using the photon CWM. any ideas?
I uses the photon q recovery to backup & restore, and haven't had any issues yet. No ROM flashing for the time being, just haven't tried it yet.

Did you try to go back into CWM and wipe everything again after the boot loops? That sometimes helps when it is boot looping after an install.

I'm Stock Again, Restart always sent me to fastboot with a failed flash error, I could back out of it to the pizza ROM each time however I don't want to depend on my phone booting incorrectly so I used RSD and I'm stock again, I'm going to give it another try tonight.
UPDATE...Reflashed everything started over and everything works PERFECT Yippie!!! I'm very pleased!!!!

So what was your full procedure? I want to try this and try to install CM10 later.
From what I read, you installed the Photon Q CWM, installed Pizza through that, got boot loops, flashed back to stock, then installed Pizza again?

Fastboot was kicking errors and was boot looping into fastboot with firmware flash fail, I found however I could start into AOSPizza in DB mode (Safe Mode) , so I did that, charged up the phone 100% then used RSDLite and Reflashed Stock current firmware, it however does not re-lock the bootloader as some have mentioned might be the case in other post's, from there I started up the phone,turned on usb debug, used "motochopper" to root it, then installed Rom Manager from the market, flashed clockwork to device with the Photo Q CWM , copied AOSPixxaV1.zip ( The ROM ) and GappizzaV1.zip to the Phones internal storage not on the external SD memory card, from there went to clockwork mod on my atrix opened up the program and selected to reboot into recovery, went to the mounts and storage then select Mount System then go back then install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card, then scroll to your rom and select it and it will flash when its complete you will go back and go to reboot system now, it will ask you if you want to bypass stock recovery on boot select it and your phone will reboot into AOSPizza......Have Fun!
I try to upgrate to cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-ovation (directly frome Nook) today but it always fails, saying (status 7) installation aborted. I tried reboot system and recovery several times but they didn't work. So I just gave up and wiped data to turn to factory setting. Now I can't wake my device up with power on, after showing cyanoboot, it just truns black.
Don't know what to do now QAQ.
You probably used an old version of CWM to flash the CM11 zip. It requires v6045 or newer. And wiping data does not return it to stock. You must flash the stock ROM. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and get the stock ROM zip from item 6.

You are talking two different ROMs, first CM11 them CM10.2.1. CM11 is the one that needs v6045 or newer. Not sure what you succeeded with.

I see~ I think I rewrote my SDcard last month, so SDcard works. And maybe I didn't do the recovery when upgrading at the first time, which leads to the following failure.
Thank you so much for your patience and time!
Ok.. So.. I had CWM 6.0.4.x loaded on my HD+ with Cyanoboot (rooted) running Cyanogenmod 11.x kitkat 4.4.2. The problem was CWM wasn't working so I tried to flash an img of openrecovery2.7.1-4.4 so I could try out another ROM.. now when it tries to start, I get the nook screen for about 2 seconds over and over and over.. until I do a hard shutdown.. any help is much appreciated..

I suggest you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable 6028 SD per item 1a and use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6. That should get you back going and you can start over.

OK.. finally got around to dealing with my device. I created the sd card and am able to boot to cwm but that's it. CWM won't do anything, install zip from sdcard, sideload, wipe, backup/restore, mount.. nothing works. It just reverts back to the main CWM screen.. ADB doesn't recognize my device, etc.. any help is, once again, much appreciated.

It will only boot into CWM-based recovery v6.0.2.7-stock.
I have tried to install zip from sd card. It installs. I installed Nookhd-CWM-60460-for-internal-memory-rev0-(07-13-14).zip. Then I installed cm-10.2.1-hummingbird.zip. Lastly I installed Gaaps-jb-4.2.1-20121128-signed.zip.
I restart the Nook and it boots right back into recovery.
PLEASE HELP.

You are using too new of a version of CWM. Use the one made from the instructions from item 1a. It has to be older than version 6045. Then use the CWM to do a factory reset and to flash the plain stock zip.

It was working flawlessly on cm11 however my little boy said it will no longer boot up correctly and has started to only load up Cyanoboot. I assume he may have done a system update that has made it go wrong. I followed the tutorial for how to unbrick a nook (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836) with the idea of starting fresh however I cant get it to boot from the SD card. I have restarted it countless times but only ever end up back at Cyanoboot.....could anyone help me out?
