You didn't make any changes to the system .... ? As in, after flashing TWRP did you flash any of the mods like Power Menu or the status bar toggles...?
If all you did was flash TWRP, I'm not sure my friend. That should not have changed your Android system at all. Did you do the SU process so you are rooted as well? Maybe that's causing an issue...?
Never heard of this before :/
Let me preface from saying I've had this phone and flashed countless ROMs on it.
Also the power button died on it (fast reboot etc problem) and since I had already ordered my Nexus 5 I just decided to rip the button off and use it for the few weeks until I got my new phone.
Now that its been a while I decided to see what I could do with it and wanted to boot. It wouldn't boot and was stuck at the loading screen for a good hour. So I went okay I'll just decide to use Odin and bring it back to stock. Followed the guide here to the T and 3 separate times all that happens is the phone is stuck at the S boot screen. Tried both stock roms posted.
Now since I don't have a power button I can't get into recovery (which I'm assuming is wiped but I have the Odin recovery ready to flash but whats the point?)
I tried adb/fastboot and the phone isn't recognized.
Any suggestions? Currently stuck at the boot logo for 1hr 25min. I'm aware of wiping the cache but I don't know how to do that without recovery.
Edit: So I opened the sucker again, got some foil and shorted the power button contacts and actually got to the stock recovery and did a wipe of the data and cache. Now booting fingers crossed. If this doesn't work at least I know I can get into recovery and install TWRP and a custom rom and see if that boots. However if this is a go then I'm good (only want it t run Perktv)
Edit2: So I couldn't get anything to install with TWRP (tried 3 different roms) so I went to the other recovery (Philz?)
Was able to install SlimKat (was using SlimBean when I was using the phone) and was finally able to install it... now its in a boot loop.
So I guess back to fully wiping (again) but I remember with these phones you had to do the wipe 2x which I didn't do. God I'm so spoiled with the Nexus.
Off to do that and see if that helps.
Edit3: Worked!! Woohoo
So guys, i've done it. I bring my first device.
Yesterday i tried to downgrade via fastboot with this recovery images https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload (yes is choose the right ones)
flash boot, check
flash recovery, check
flash system, failes (insufficient memory)
erase sytem, check
flash system, failed (insufficient memory)
flash twrp, check, but no usb mouse so
flash cwm, check
factory reset, check
rom.zip and gapps on sd card, check
reboot, boot into bootloader, no chance
It boots everytime normal, so i cant enter the recovery.
Connect it to charger, check
charging led lights up, check
Go sleeping, check
doenst boot into bootloader :/
Back to charger
Now I wanted to try it again and i wont even boot.
Anyone has an Idea? Or is it really bricked?
Can you still see the device listed using fast boot?
No, because I can't enter the bootloader or the recovery. But it boots again

The same thing just happened to me. Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure it out. I flashed a "stock" recovery that I had found in order to be able to take the OTAs. Now when I boot, I just stay stuck on the NVIDIA splash screen.....been there for hours.

Same here.....
Mine is working again. Booting in the bootloader is a little bit tricky.
Have you tried to flash all? Boot.img, recovery.img and system.img?
...
I had the same issue. But after trying to get into the bootloader using POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 15 minutes it finally went to the bootloader and I was able to re-flash it. I have a feeling it's the cludgy power button.
You do not need to flash the stock recovery to take the ota. I have taken 2 otas now on custom recovery without any issue and without loosing root. Just an FYI.

I just did a factory reset under lollipop, locked boot-loader rooted and it rebooted to the green android screen then dropped into CWM and asked to fix root. I said no, then it went to the nvidia boot logo and it is stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Edit: nevermind, I just powered it off after about 20 minuets and it hung again. When I plugged it into my pc, it finally poped into the setup/welcome screen. Pretty weird. Heart attack averted
My N8013 has lirokoa's CM 12.1 & TWRP 2.8.7.0 and everything was working perfectly fine for a few months. However a couple months ago, the tablet just decided to restart itself, and it's stuck in the boot animation for CM ever since.
A few things about this:
Holding the power button only restarts the tablet, will eventually end up in the boot animation loop again
I'm not able to go to recovery. If I try to boot into recovery, it will show the TWRP logo for about 10 seconds, and then the tablet will reboot
I'm able to go to odin/download mode. I've tried flashing CWM to replace TWRP, but rebooting to recovery still shows TWRP logo, the binary counter did not increase
I tried flashing latest stock firmware using Heimdall & Odin multiple times, repartitioned using a pit file, but recovery didn't revert to stock (still TWRP), and the boot animation loop is still CM
I'm running out of ideas
