Hey,
I continued here after oneplus forums couldn't find the answer - my OPO goes only to fastboot and simple recovery menu, which is in chinese. I've deleted cache, dalvik cache and done the factory reset - and the result is the same, it won't start as it can stay in the cyanogen logo bootscreen for hours.
What now? Thanks for the help beforehand. I also supposedly still have some VERY important photos on the phone, but they may have allready been lost...
You need to provide more information. How did the device get to this point? Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

Hi All,
I have the Telstra HTC One XL, and have just recently attempted to install CM10 ROM - however have run into some problems that I would appreciate some advice to rectify. I had recently updated to Jelly Bean OTA.
I followed the guide on these forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859478
I Successfully unlocked bootloader by following the steps at HTCdev.com
I Successfully installed TWRP Custom Recovery
I Downloaded CM10 as per - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790032. I transferred this as well as Google Apps onto my phones storage.
When attempting to install CM10, I created the Nandroid backup as recommended, and proceeded to wipe the mentioned items using TWRP (a guide I saw said to wipe everything). This is when my Nandroid back-up got wiped. TWRP gives you the option to wipe cache, delvik cache, factory reset, system, external storage, internal storage and format data. I did alll of these, and this was my mistake I believe? I proceeded to try and install CM10 and gapps from internal storage (I had to re load these back on after I wiped everything), and the install of CM10 displayed as successful.
Upon rebooting to system, the HTC screen comes up first and then goes to the CM10 animation. The phone then stays on this animation (rotating circle) for up to 10-15 minutes.
I have read thread after thread with people experiencing similar issues, and have tried rectifying my problem with various versions of roms and different guides out there. I can still boot into recovery (TWRP) mode via bootloader, and this means I can still mount my phone's storage onto my PC and have access to the storage directory. As I have deleted the Nandroid backup though, and because the ROM's won't install, I am stuck in no man's land.
There must surely be a way to have a ROM installed (even if its back to stock Telstra) from the position I am in, it would be greatly appreciated if someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Robbie
maybe yall need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" now

Why do people keep doing this??? Just because TWRP gives you all those options, doesn't mean you should use them.
Sometimes, people will say to do a "full wipe" when flashing a ROM. But that term is a bit misleading. Factory reset (from TWRP, never from hboot), wipe Dalvik and wipe cache is all that is technically required when flashing a new ROM. Some people like to wipe more "just in case". But if you aren't completely confidant in what you are doing, keep in simple and don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
I don't know if wiping everything is the cause of your woes, but it certainly didn't help, and caused you to do some extra steps.
Flash boot.img via fastboot as previously suggested. Otherwise, just try to re-download and flash the files agin. Its seems that some people are having troubles booting after flashing CM10 (even after doing the correct wipes and flashing boot.img). Doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason, but just flashing again has fixed the problem for at least one person.
Thanks so much, such a simple fix! That has me booted up into CM10.
I have installed cm-10-20130107-NIGHTLY-evita and cm-10.0.0-evita , however with both of these versions, my touch screen is not working once it boots up. I can function with the volume up/down, and with the power buttons, but cannot get past my SIM card lock screen.
I noticed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083314 (no solution yet)...
Does anyone have a solution to this issue that seems a common one?
Alternatively, more than happy to get an alternative ROM on my phone in the interim...Can someone recommend me a ROM?
Again, I really appreciate the quick response to my problem, very happy my phone is in operation!
Hey,
So my text messages were slow to go out along with some other things not working properly, I decided to do a factory reset and when I clicked on factory reset it took me to what I think is clockwork recovery, which then I clicked wipe data and factory reset. After doing this I chose to reboot the device. The device rebooted and it wasn't factory reset. In fact my media and all was deleted but like my apps were still there, it didn't go to that original cyanogen mod set up screen you get when you first get the device. Also now my home button isnt working and neither is a bunch of other things. How do I go back to the original factory format when you first get the phone? Please help. I was told to flash the factory images again and I think i did the right thing but that isn't working. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
Flash the fastboot images found here:

Basically, my wife's phone was constantly rebooting. I had heard of power button issues so I tried to open the phone to fix that. After fiddling around with the button the problem persisted. I read somewhere that wiping the cache would help so I prepared to do that.
As I was waiting for the cache to wipe... the phone reboot again. It now does not boot (sits on the boot screen after the Google logo goes away) and says invalid argument when I try to wipe the cache.
According to this post, flashing the cache.img will fix the corrupt cache and allow me to wipe it.
Unfortunately my wife's phone has not been backed up, nor has the bootloader been unlocked. Is there ANY way to backup/retrieve files before unlocking the bootloader so I can fix the cache corruption issue? She has stock recovery, running lollipop.
Would really appreciate help in this matter, the pictures on her phone are from a year of travelling (not my best idea to leave them on her phone...but I digress).
If your phone keeps rebooting, and bootloader is LOCKED, its going to be hard to do anything to recover user data.
Having said that,
If you had ADB debug enabled before this disaster, you could try to ADB Sidleoad the Nexus 5 Lollipop OTA zip from stock recovery.
Then you data would remain intact.
Best of luck

I can flash custom recovery without unlocking bootloader or wipe. If the /data partition didnt get corrupted we could recover the files.

Has my brain gone broken? I thought you could fastboot stock img files without unlocking the bootloader?

You can try that too.
What version of Android did you have on the phone?
In order to flash factory images, you’ll need to have the Android SDK HERE
Then you need to download the same version of Hammerhead Factory Image
you have been running on her phone HERE
Extract the correct Hammerhead Factory Image using 7zip or other extractor tool.
Then copy the cache.img from the extraction to the SDK/platform-tools folder.
From within your platform-tools folder, open a command prompt.
I'd recommend wiping the partition before flash.
-First type the following command
fastboot erase cache
-Then type the following command
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Plenty of tutorials in the sticky's if you need to learn more .

Guys nexus 5 was working fine.. After uninstalling few apps i decided to restart the device so so i power off the device and then turn it back on ever since device is stuck at boot animation
Plz help me out
Unfortunately your device is locked, which means you will lose everything on it (hope you use cloud backups).
You can try one thing first. From recovery (third image), try wiping the cache partition. What happens? Same mount errors? If not, try to boot.
If it still doesn't boot, you'll have to flash the factory images, which involves having your whole data wiped.

This is a known problem. If wiping your cache does not help look here

thanks... problem resolved
Hello all,
First time posting, long time lurker. Everybody here at XDA has been exceptionally helpful with every Android device I've owned. Whether I've had technical issues, or just wanted to try out some new ROM's or apps. I just wanted to take a second to thank you all before I got started with this post.
I've been pulling my hair out over this Nexus 5. It is my wife's phone that she never rooted, unlocked, or anything outside of generic user space.
I looked all over XDA and the web looking for solutions to this issue, but have been unsuccessful. Below is an overview of what's going on with my device.
___________________________________________
1: Nexus 5 repeatedly bootloops at initial Google logo
2: Bootloader locked - I can unlock it with fastboot oem unlock but it is reverted to locked at each restart.
3: Recovery mode bootloops every time cache is touched - Every time I attempt to sideload images or wipe cache recovery bootloops. This makes it impossible to flash factory images in recovery.
4: Problem seems to be with the cache - In fastboot I can wipe userdata, but when it gets to wiping cache I get an error.
5: Yes I have tried re imaging with factory images, flashing TWRP (doesn't take, ADB wasn't set to on before this happened and I think the bootloader unlock isn't really working, but Im not sure,) flashing stock cache, flashing stock bootloader etc.
Any idea's guys? This is my last attempt to fix before I just take the Nexus apart so I don't waste anymore time on it. I would be happy if I could get any functionality whatsoever.
Thanks so much,
Nathan
:Update:
I was able to boot into TWRP with fastboot boot recovery twrp.img.
Trying my luck here, it seems to have been able to wipe the cache, but not mount /data.
Unable to mount storage
Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
