YOU MUST BE ON THE ASUS STOCK JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.14.x AND TWRP 2.6.3.2+ OR CWM 6.0.4.6+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM.
This is copied directly from the Developers ROM.

You didn't use 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader, did you?
Read the OP for CROMBI-KK, compare it to what you did.
Describe in detail what that was.
"Does not work" is not very helpful...
Check if you can get into fastboot.

Well,
I can go to Twrp recovery and fastboot
I did install the rom with everything present I think.. had to select some things and finish the installing
after that I had to reboot and now i just get the image with the penguins.
Can I somehow go back to the original rom? to restart these things?

If you made a nandroid before flashing this, then yes, you should be able to restore it.
But let's take it from the beginning. Post your bootloader, recovery and rom versions.
As long as you have access to fastboot you can fix this, so don't do anything hasty.
And please be as specific as you can about what you did. We can only help you if we find out where you went wrong.

hm ok I will try
well, I didn't make a nandroid backup - my fault :<
are there specific bootloader? I was on JB 4.2.1
I am now on twrp v2.6.3.2 but I was while I did the flashing on twrp v2.6.1
hm I did flash crombi-kk rom from the OP
maybe I did some wipe before in twrp .. i think it was recommended?
so now I can't do any reflash or anything in twrp - everytime I want to do something there is this error:
E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'
I also can't get access to my external SD
Check if you can get into fastbot.
Long press Power and Volume Down until you see tiny script.
Read it and post the bootloader version: 10.6.1.14.?

All right, your bootloader is current.
I would recommend that you flash TWRP 2.7 in fastboot, then boot into it, do a Factory Wipe in TWRP (that can take upwards of 60 minutes) and flash the rom again.
Ok.. I tried but I got the answer
failed (data transfer failure (too many links))
hm I think I've got no connection, right?
well and now I get the message:
FAILED ( command write failed( invalid argument))
What do you get with 'fastboot devices'?

Alright, everything good so far.
Now download the TWRP 2.7 blob for the tf700 and put it into the same folder as your fastboot.exe.
Then issue this command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
if that is successful
Code:
fastboot reboot
Then boot into TWRP via the fastboot menu.
Then you can factory wipe and flash the rom

is it possible to formate my complete data, because I think therein lies the problem, exept fastboot on my device and flash a recovery from fastboot?

If you want to try that, go to the Wipe menu in TWRP, then to Advanced and choose "format data".
In TWRP this can take 90 minutes! D not interrupt it and make sure the tablet is charged or connected to power.
But this will erase your entire data.
The recovery has it's own partition which you can erase in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
.
Then flash the new recovery. You could also try TWRP 2.6.3.2 if 2.7 doesn't work.

Your posted image indicates that simulation mode is active in TWRP - turn if off in TWRP settings.
To format data, it's approximately this: Wipe -> Advanced -> Format -> Data -> confirm
Note that it takes up to 2 hours to format and trim the eMMC.

Well I don't know how but it suddenly worked.. i could reinstall the rom but now it seems i am stuck in a bootloop between the picture of the four penguins and a bootscreen of crombi-kk with loading tiles under it
between these two the tablet is rebooting itself constantly
Go back to recovery and do a wipe only Calvin cache and Cache.

Nexus 5 stuck on 'formatting /data' screen after factory image flashing
Sorry for the long post. I just want to ensure I am providing all relevant history.
I have a Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) 32gb device, stock with no rooting. I mean, I had never done anything special on it ever.
1. Recently I started getting Google Play Store related problems, first 194 error and then couple of days back 495 (I think). After trying switching on/off, clearing cache and some other similar ways to fix this, I decided to do a factory reset :crying:
2. I backed up all my data, and followed the documented steps for factory reset. The phone got stuck on 'erasing'. After waiting for over 24 hours, I finally figured out that this 'erasing' is not going to complete, ever.
3. So I again did some research and figured that I should do a fastboot recovery. Tried that with no difference. Recovery again took me to 'erasing' screen.
4. Some more research and then I decided to flash a factory image using ADB. I was (and still am) a complete newbie, so first I figured out what was ADB and how to get to it. After completing the installation, I found out Nexus 5 factory images. There was no mention of which ones to chose, so I just picked up the latest one.
This is what I really followed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRp5jJO34PE
5. Having learnt my lessons, I read the flashing instructions many times and also watched some videos 3-4 times. Once I was confident that no more information was going to be had, and the phone was unlocked (fastboot oem unlock) I went ahead with the flashing. I did it step by step - bootloader, radio and they recovery image. The last one failed.
6. I did some more research and found a method which told me to unzip the last image and flash the component images one by one. I did. Success! However, the phone did not reboot by itself as the guide said it would. So I tried to boot it manually.
7. I did not get the dead android with red exclamation mark. Instead, I got an alive android with gears whirring on its tummy and back. Pressing power + vol-up button told me that this was the 'formatting /data' screen. I am unable to get past this screen. I am supposed to get to a screen where I can wipe data and cache etc. But I cannot get to it.
8. I have tried to wait it out (16 hours) and tried flashing the images again. Ultimately, I end up here.
9. I am unable to find any answers on what to do if stuck on this screen. So this is the end? Is my phone bricked? Is there anything else I can try? Will trying TWRP way help or is that just another way to same failure?
I would appreciate if there is anybody out there who can help me get my phone working again, or point me to a thread which helps me do it. Thanks!
Just wait it took me 5 hours of waiting
Try flashing Android 4.4.4 and see if that will boot. If that does not work try installing a custom recovery like TWRP, and do the wipes from there.

Thanks. I was thinking of trying TWRP anyway. I will try this today.
How does one select which image to flash? Is it always the latest one? In this case, how do I know which one is Android 4.4.4, and why are you recommending this specific one? I had purchased this phone in 2013 Feb (I think). So is there any specific image to be selected or the latest one is always to be picked?

UPDATE: Flashing 4.4.4. did not work. I again got the 'formatting /data' screen again instead of the phone booting up. However, the formatting screen with the android with diamond circling in the tummy also has a blue line below, possibly a progress bar. It is not growing though, just there... sizzling. Pressing power+vol-up buttons shows me that this is 'formatting /data' screen.
Will try custom recovery from TWRP now.

Reboot your phone into bootloader and download latest hammerhead 5.1.1 from Google. Extract everything and then extract the images. First use these commands
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then fastboot flash everything including bootloader.
Use this as a guide http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/
Then after finished reboot phone and leave it alone it will boot right up in 5-10 mins no need to go to recovery. In future don't format partitions.

Sorry for the late update. I was traveling over the weekend.
Thank you so much! Your post solved my issue. I wish I had this advice earlier!
First time it did not work, with reboot leading to a blank screen. Next time I following the guide completely, following the order in which different images were flashed. The phone went into boot animation for 5.1.1 and finally booted up, with all 32gb storage available.
Thanks again!

I'm really sorry that you are stuck in this mess. It is normal but more than 1 hour is way too much. I'm not sure about the causes, but you can try two more things and see how it goes. One is to use flash-all.bat script. If that didn't work then you can flash a custom ROM like Chroma and then try flashing the stock ROM.

Hello. I'm facing a very weird problem with my Nexus 5. I have been using a custom ROM (Dirty Unicorns) and everything was fine, until I saw that there was a 7.1 ROM for the Nexus. I decided to give it a try. I've played around with it for a couple of minutes and decided that it's not so stable, so I flashed stock image with the Nexus Root Toolkit. Everything went fine, the phone booted to OS, but when I try to watch a YouTube video for example the screen goes black and I cannot do anything. Phone's hardware buttons are working, but the touch isn't. Hard reset fixes the problem, but its back again under a medium or heavy usage. I thought that the factory img that I flashed via the Nexus Root Toolkit is corrupted somehow, so I downloaded an earlier version and flashed it via old fashion way via adb. Unfortunately the problem still persists, even appearing more frequently now. From time to time it starts and stays on boot screen, stays for a while and again goes black. I have tried also to downgrade from Marshmallow to Kitkat, unfortunately problem is still there.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
Thanks in advance!
It may be hardware problem. Check it out at some harware or phone store
How did you flash with adb? I would try wiping a few times and seeing if that helps.
Try reflashing all partitions, including the userdata.img file and perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time.

I meant fastboot, not adb.
1st. I have tried to flash the Stock ROM via cmd by executing the flash-all.bat file, everything flashed correctly, no errors shown, but again black screen. I then executed thoose commands for manually flashing:
Code:
fastboot flash radio
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache
No luck again.

In my opinion it has been damaged display connector on the motherboard. I had the same problem, but for me I did not have to do anything to become a black screen and does not respond to anything

Could be the case, but why the display is working only in Bootloader and sometimes lights up in Recovery? It can stay all day in bootloader, but when I try to boot to OS or go to Recovery it goes black. If its a display connector problem, shouldn't it be black always, no matter that I'm in Bootloader, OS, etc.?

Actually it's not an issue, the command

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
makes the phone boot into bootloader mode instead of starting android. To undo this, you'll just have to type in-

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
. No need to flash the whole firmware again if this is the only problem.

Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. To do this, power off the phone, press and hold power+volume down button till it shows up.
Plug the phone into PC, open command prompt from the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are present, and type that command (only that one is needed). Disconnect the phone and try rebooting to see if it boots correctly.

If that was the case, you could never boot the phone into Android... the OP stated that he can select continue and start the device normally. It is most likely stuck in fastboot fb_mode like @Gravemind2015 stated.

Shouldn't that make the phone stay at bootlogo as the kernel and ramdisk are overwritten by TWRP code? @Uncle Waldo stated that the phone is looping into TWRP after *moto update action*. So what I am able to figure out is that this is a OTA-on-stock-rom-with-custom-recovery situation. I am a litte doubtful though as google says the phone boots into kernel from recovery (which is evident here) instead of kernel from boot partiton (source), so you may be 100% correct here too
@Uncle Waldo : If that is indeed the case (i.e moto issued an update and since rebooting the phone it's just looping into TWRP and giving an error) then I'd recommend that-
Flash stock boot.img as @acejavelin suggested
Flash stock recovery.img (as TWRP can't nstall stock ROM updates)
This is assuming that the /system partition was never modified in any way. If the update still fails in stock revovery, I'd guess that the whole system has to be restored to a non-modified state (i.e flashing the full firmware). You can try flashing all without doing the 'fastboot erase' part though, but i'd recommend you to backup your files using TWRP when you can.

If it is because of an update, you can't accept it while on TWRP... If you did, try to access the TWRP menu and if you can't boot TWRP from.fadtboot (not flash) and wipe caches... It should boot normally after that.

You believe this could be my problem as the moto boots just fine and it's only started this problem when I installed the following update.
Motorola > android security updates version 24.211.14.en.US
After this install and reboot it appears to work just fine and then shortly reboots into TWRP from here the only correcting action that stops the reboot loop is "RESTORE".
After restoring and reboot the moto is back to operating as before and at some point I get the same message to install the security updates and the dance begins anew.
If reflashing the stock boot image via fastboot could correct my problem > then I am all ears Ace, as it's been sometime since I ventured into android ville and any help in this matter thanks...

You believe this could be my problem as the moto boots just fine and it's only started this problem when I installed the following update.
Motorola > android security updates version 24.211.14.en.US

You edited the original question after I replied... Read my follow-up answer. You can't take an OTA with TWRP installed, just start TWRP and wipe caches and then don't accept any further OTA.
Ace; I missed that one

Your correct I missed that one, a BC moment (before coffee) sorry.
Okay in the fog of my memory I do now remember the OTA prohibition as I said it's been a piece of time.
I've done as instructed and all is well again, but will this nag screen appear again as it has done.
Question > How do I shut the motorolia OTA update off, so I don't get their stupid never ending nag screen everytime that I look at phone?
Thanks for your help...

Ace I figured it out thanks for all your help...
So this morning when I used my phone it crashed, then I tried to boot up the phone but nothing showed up but when I plugged in my phone it displayed the Google logo for a few seconds then it powered off. I didn't rooted or unlocked the phone.
If I were to reset it my phone Google Authenticator codes will be wiped.
Can anyone please help me with this urgently?
Go to Fastboot Mode (Power + Volume Down), and plug your Nexus 5 to a PC, unlock your bootloader and then follow this guide (Method 2):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
PD: You can try just wiping cache on recovery but I'm not sure if it will make you Nexus 5 boot, but you can try and if it doesn't work you should try flashing stock ROM.
Greetings
I've got a similar issue. My Nexus 5 is stuck with Google logo. I have successfully flashed stock ROM (6.0.1) following the guide reported in this forum - method 2.
At the very beginning it booted successfully, but after some hours it got stuck with the google logo. I have tried several times to flash the stock ROM again successfully, but never booted again.
I don't know what the problem is.
Can some of you please help me?

Unlocking the bootloader will wipe all data and apps from the phone.
Does the phone charge when connected to a USB charger?

Try flashing a stock Kit Kat ROM.
Thanks for your quick help!

I'll try that, too.
Just for a curiosity. Why a stock Kit Kat ROM?

I flashed a Kit Kat ROM stock, but my Nexus 5 is still stuck with Google logo.
I think there's nothing to do.. I suppose it's a hardware issue, then

Some Nexus 5 phone's develop a problem with the internal memory whereby it can boot a kit kat ROM but, with MM or LP, the screens stays at the spinning dots and doesn't progress beyond that screen.
When flashing a stock ROM, I manually flash each partition:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot

I followed your instructions step by step, but didn't work unfortunately.
I really believe it's a hardware problem.
However, thank you for your quick help!
I'm giving in....

If everything else is fine, try to find a cheap N5 with a working motherboard and smashed screen. I have done this a few times. The N5 is old by cellphone standards and I got them cheap. You just have to be patient.

It shows the bootloader but in a few seconds it does the same thing :/
Check your power button and Google it.
