When I knew CyanogenMod 11s had been ported to the nexus 5, I set off to get it on my device. I had stock android 4.4.4 running, had rooted my phone, and had cwmr.
I got into recovery mode, wiped data, wiped cache and flashed. It din't work. I wiped dalvik cache and tried again, but still didn't work.
Now I'm stuck on the google logo screen.
What can I do?

Try also wiping system (flashable zip should format it but do it just to be sure) and unmounting system
Also, I'm not sure if it's an actual port or if it's just CM11 with .apk files added, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54420961&postcount=9

Re-flash download the zip. Then wipe data, system and the caches

Install a different ROM.
What error are you getting?
Freshly baked from my Nexus 5
Hmm problem can be in many places. You can redownload the zip...maybe the one you have is corrupted. When you you flash the zip try to uncheck the verify signature option. After you redownloaded the zip. Mount usb storage and conect to your pc to copy the zip to ext card. Wipe data cache system and dalvik before you flash.

This is the story. I installed a custom kernel, and decided to clear the dalvik cache. I am on the art runtime and I think this may be the issue here. After installing the kernel I wiped the dalvik cache it would not complete and I had to force restart. I could not open the camera app, and when opening es file explorer it told me could not find /sdcard/. Looking in the terminal it said could not mount /cache/. Could this be a possible bug with the art runtime and TWRP? I had to do a fastboot -w to get the device functional again.
It is a bug with twrp. I just fastboot flashed clockworkmod recovery, wipe the cache there (took 5-10 min) and everything worked.

Nasty Bug in TWRP
Yes this needs to be fixed. It happened to me too. Glad that CWM recovery was able to clear the corrupt cache partition left by TWRP (took ~10min to run). I was looking at a full reset to stock to get out of this.

I can start the Nexus in TWRP. It says there is no os installed.
I cannot flash a recovery because i have no chance to put some files on the Nexus through my computer. There is no connection between Nexus and computer
Somehow are you able to get a internet connection through your computer? If not ull prolly have to use a flash drive and go to a local area with computers and wifi. Not sure if you have a desktop or laptop. Laptop would be ideal though.
Hi,
First, I followed the instructions in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
I installed the CWM recovery and then flashed the CM11-20131228 nightly and then the recommended Google Apps that are linked at their wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads (I took the 20131208 ones)
Now my phone is stuck in the boot screen with the circle spinning around the cyanogenmod logo (I can boot the bootloader and recovery but when I try to boot CM11 it’s stuck) and I dont know how to get to a working cm11 rom. The guide said that the first boot with a new rom takes longer than usual because the phone rebuilds caches and so on but I think it should not take more than half an hour...
What I already tried is:
- Wiping the chaches with the CWM recovery an then booting cm11 -> still just the arrow spinning around the logo
- Wiping the caches with recovery and then re-flashing the same zip without flashing the google apps afterwards -> did not work
- Wiping and then pushing the newer cm11 nightly via adb so that I could try this one -> recovery did not find the pushed zip on my scdard
- Wiping, then tried to install the new nightly via adb sideload -> cmd prompt said it was send properly and as far as I can say the phone installed it but I was still stuck on that bootscreen ...
- I even restored to the stock 4.4.2 factory image and then flashed the cwm recovery, than wiped caches and then installed the latest cm11 nightly an then the google apps but I still can not get past the boot animation
What am I doing wrong and how can I get past the boot screen?
You talk about wiping caches but are you wiping data too?
Oh, yes. I just didnt mention it. I always did the three steps from the guide:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache

So you get the bootloop only when trying to install CM and when you flashed the factory image, it booted up fine?

Exactly.
I install the factory image with method 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 and then flash CWM recovery to install CM (factory reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + install cm-zip + install gapps-zip) and then there is the bootloop.

I got another problem now ... The last thing I did was flashing the stock rom. Now I want to flash the latest CM nightly (20131229) but fastboot does not let me install cwm recovery and says
Code:
FAILED <remote: partition table doesn't exist>
I flashed the whole stock rom again but the error still occurs... I have to wipe the partitions after I installed CM, right?

So I installed CM + Gapps and then wiped data, cache and dalvik cache with CWM. Now Im waiting for 8 minutes for the bootscreen to go away, but think it didnt work. By the way, if I wipe the system partition, I delete CM, dont I? I dont understand how that will help booting into CM.

Wipe before the install.
So,
1 Put rom zip on phone internal storage
2 Wipe partitions except internal storage
3 Flash rom

8 minutes is too long. You have some other problem. Do any other roms work? Wiping system in twrp does not wipe the internal sd card. That's why you didn't find it in cwm.

I will try the AOKP nightly and post the results. Is it okay to just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before installing the aokp zip or is it better to flash the stock rom before flashing aokp?
No need to flash stock, just do the wipes
2 days ago i was just going around my advanced junk with clean master app. there was a filed named empty folders which was 11 mb in advanced junk section, so i cleared the file and went to play angry birds, then suddenly it stuck and rebooted. :'( now every time it boots up, shows the boot image, starts the cyanogenmod boot animation and then the boot animation stucks and then the whole process again...REBOOT LOOP
i tried every thing till now:
1. tried to install stock rom through odin but still shows cyanogenmod animation and reboot loops
2.tried to install different recovery but the recovery doesn't change also.
3. tried to install a different rom for eg: PAC rom. it installs but it still shows cyanogenmod
4. also now i tried to install stock firmware with pit file but it still shows cyanogenmod animation.
AND MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED MONTHS AGO
i think there is a problem with the partition or something... i dont know how to fix it

If you are able to boot to recovery, can't you wipe completely? (System, cache, data) Once CM is gone you should be able to install other Rom. I'm a little confused how CM could continue to boot if it has been wiped from phone...

You can flash a Custom-Recovery using Odin.
You´ll find a link latest recoverys in my signature.
If Stock Recovery still boots you need to uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin. When Odin finished flashing, wait 1 minute to be sure. Then directly boot into recovery from download-mode and enjoy the custom recovery.
This will increase your flashcounter!
Put your Rom & Gapps on your MicroSD Card
In CWM / CWM based recoverys:
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvic Cache
Wipe Data Factory Reset
format /system
fromat /data and /data/media (this will format your internal sd! be sure your rom placed on microSD card)
flash the rom
reboot (first boot can take ~30 minutes - if it still bootloops: something´s worng )
if everything working:
reboot recovery
flash gapps
reboot
Strange that reflashing the system didn't help. You could try it with an other recovery?
Hey Guys,
Tried installing a custom rom on my LG Optimus G but stucked on LG logo on boot after installation. Now I try flashing the original kdz but when I lunch de flahing process from download mode, my phone turns on into recovery mode on its on. Can somebody help me? Is there another tool to flash kdz??
When you tried flashing the custom rom or kdz did you do a factory reset first and wipe everything except internal sd phone or tablet storage first before you flashed the files ? is the kdz a firmware zip folder ?

No, did that but my problem is solved, My problem is solved. I was able to flash using LG Flash Tool 2014.
Which procedure should I follow exactly not to stuck again. If I factory reset the Rom zip will be whiped. My phone takes no external SD.
Check Ur downloaded ROM MCDev again. That its OK and didn't corrupt..
On which Stock firmware u were before installing MCdev? You should be on 30C
Do you have a custom recovery ?
when flashing roms you need to wipe cache, data, and system before you flash recovery. It doesn't delete internal phone storage, files unless you choose to select it. This is how I do it in a custom recovery .twrp works good for the lg g2
The ROM is OK. I'm on 20G

I don't think you need to factory reset again after you flashed the rom if you did the things before it. Clear the cache and dalvik cache before starting up your device.
is data being wiped during factory reset ? You should
Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm
Select wipe cache partition and confirm
Select advanced - wipe dalvik cache and confirm
Select install zip from SD card
Select from internal SD card or wherever you placed it.
Select the ROM file and confirm.
then start the device. If you have the right android version and everything else you can wipe cache and dalvik cache then try Fix Permissions after flashing rom before you try to start up again.
Does the rom need you to be on a different android version or flash a kernel for it ?

And U aren't on Stock Kitkat. May be that's the reason. Did U select ur baseband F180K during installation? And did u installed Custom Loki CWM recovery as mentioned in thread?
Everything is alright now. The phone doesnnt stuck on LG logo nomore. The problem was I was not on stock KitKat. I had to upgradde to stock 4.4.2 (30C) before flashing. Thanks to y'all

Try a smaller Gapps package than the one that you flashed with the ROM. The package you used is probably too large to fit in the system partition along with the ROM.
Or, you didn't factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache when you flashed the ROM. Failing to do those wipes will cause bugs due to the new system conflicting with the saved system data/settings from the previous system. In other words, data left over from the old ROM is causing problems with the new ROM.

Boot back into recovery, then factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, then reboot.
If that doesn't work, try booting back into recovery then flash the ROM then the Gapps then factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache then reboot.
If that doesn't work, try booting back into recovery, then select the "Wipe" option, then choose the "advanced wipes" option, then choose the system partition, then swipe the slider at the bottom to run the wipe, then try flashing just the ROM but don't flash the Gapps, factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache then reboot. After you get the device booted, you can delete the Gapps file then download a smaller package and put it in your phone's internal storage then boot back into recovery and select the "Install" option, at this point, you already have the ROM installed so no need to flash it again, but you do need to flash the new Gapps file, then factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Do you see how important it is to factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache every time you flash? It is a vital step.
