Wierd bootloop/Animation, looking for help - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been having trouble with my Nexus 5 recently, it has been stuck in a wierd bootloop. (As in the boot animation has been buggy.) Cant boot into Twrp 3.0.2.0 (TWRP logo bootloop) , version 2.8.7.0 works in 90% (Happens to "refresh", loads back into recovery after that). I have tried all the major android versions, all of them have the same problem. Reflashing, formating, erasing partitions doesnt help. Have even tried Boarddiag, and LG flash tool which fails after a while.
Example of the boot animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljhFhf_c1C8&feature=youtu.be

[Q] Can't get into recovery, can't flash new recovery

Ok, so I have an MZ601. Flashed with R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux and omni-4.4.2-20140321-1754+0100-everest-HOMEMADE (updated with latest omni versions as they became available).
Everything been working fine until two days ago, when Xoom froze. It had happened before a couple of times and a reboot had solved the problem. Did that, and this time it got stuck in a bootloop, only getting as far as the Omni splash screen before rebooting. Few reboots later, nothing improving, and then it didn’t get past the Motorola M splash screen.
Tried booting into recovery, frozen at teamwin splashscreen. Nothing was working. Rebooted few time, same thing. Connected to power, charged til green, left for extra 30 minutes, tried again, same problem. Switched off. Came back to it today and....
All of the following done via Fastboot:
Tried flashing non bigpart TWRP (R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3), still stuck at teamwin splash screen. Flashed Clockwork recovery, booted into recovery fine, but couldn’t see memory card. Flashed Clockwork recovery touch version, same problem. Flashed back to TWRP non bigpart, and it booted into recovery fine, sdcard mounted fine, seeing all files. Excellent. Decided to reflash bigpart version, used reboot option in TWRP, it tells me there is NO OS INSTALLED.
Ok, that’s a bit odd. Must be corrupted or something, but might explain the original freeze and bootloop and then not even getting to Omni splash screen. Swiped to reboot. Flashed bigpart version of TWRP. Rebooted into recovery. Back to original problem, stuck at teamwin splash screen. Left it for 10 minutes just to be sure. No joy.
Tried retracing steps, flashing Clockwork recovery. Reboot. Teamwin splash screen. WTF? Try flashing Rogue recovery. Reboot. Teamwin splash screen.
Kinda confused. It’s like it’s telling me it’s successfully flashed but it hasn’t actually done anything. Power everything down, disconnect everything. Start again. Flash Clockwork recovery, reboot, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks. Flash TWRP, non bigpart, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks. Reboot. Flash TWRP bigpart. Reboot, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks.
Walk away in disgust so as not to throw something at Xoom.
Ok, TL-DR recap.
Worked fine for months
Two days ago, froze on Omnirom logo, got stuck in bootloop
After few reboots didn’t even make it to Omnirom logo, stuck on M screen
Flashed TWRP recovery, non bigpart, stuck at teamwin splash screen
Flashed Clockwork recovery, got into recovery, no SDcard
Flashed Clockwork recovery, touch version, same problem
Flashed TWRP non bigpart, got into recovery, could see SDcard and files, rebooted from within recovery to flash bigpart version, tells me NO OS installed
Reboot
Now, regardless of which recovery I flash it goes straight to teamwin splash screen and stays there.
Help
Bump
Come on guys, 100 plus views and no replies? Surely somebody has an idea?
At the bottom of your tldr
Flashed twrp.. booted into recovery flashed bigpart twrp then says no OS.
It will say no OS cause bigpart would have wiped everything to resize the partition.
I've updated my TWRP to support bigpart and a few other things. Grab it from the pined thread by myself flash it and wipe everything but sdcard.
THen from the terminal in twrp type
df
Ensure the system is around a gig if so then you have repartitioned your /system
Then flash your bigpart Rom and gapps should be good to go from there

Cheers for the reply, but I'd already had it flashed and running fine for about three months, as I said in my first line:

Actually, reading that back, it may not have been clear enough that I meant I'd been running it that way for a while.
Oh, also in the TLR, I meant I rebooted so that I could flash TWRP bigpart from ADB/FASTBOOT, not that I flashed it from within TWRP (which is what I should have done since it turned out to be the one and only time I managed to get past the splash screen). It told me there was no OS installed after I flashed the non bigpart version of TWRP and before I rebooted from within the recovery.
My point is I can't get past the splashscreen, no matter what I do, so I can't use any of the recovery / flash options in TWRP. I also can't flash any other recoveries using ADB or FASTBOOT because no matter what I flash it still stays stuck on the TWRP splashscreen when I reboot into recovery, whether I use FASTBOOT REBOOT or reboot using the volume rocker.

[Q] Stuck in recovery loop, LG Spectrum

Phone: LG Spectrum
ROM: Cyanogen 10.1 3 or something
CWM: 6.0.4.7
I was in the process of manually installing CWM Touch via Rashr Flash Tool to replace an old 6.0.1.1 non-touch version i had on it before, and when I successfully got it installed, the app asked if I wanted to reboot into recovery. So I pressed yes, and it did.
Unfortunately, it never seemed to remove it afterwards because after every single reboot, it kept going back to recovery, not loading the android OS.
I've tried the following with no success:
Clearing data factory reset
Clearing cache
Clearing Dalvik cache
Full restore to V6 stock
Full restore to Cyanogen (I made a backup when I first got to CWM Touch)
This is the current behavior of my phone:
When powered on, it will display the LG logo, then it will flicker to black and then fade in the LG logo again, 5 seconds later recovery boots. If phone was off and you insert USB cable to charge, the LG logo appears, but the battery mode sort of screen never comes after. Its just stays at the LG logo, and never turns off the display.
It will keep rebooting to recovery no matter if I even tell the recovery to reboot to bootloader.
I don't know exactly how the bootup structure is for androids but the only thing I can think of that may be the issue is the recovery itself if it wasn't the app that caused this. It just doesn't make sense that after a full restore, it would still have an issue, other than the recovery itself, UNLESS there is some secret boot instruction file that's stuck with a "Reboot_to_Recovery = 1" parameter.
Since this thing is stuck in a recovery boot, how would I be able to manually, without OS access, reflash another version of CWM on the device? Or if there's another possible way to fix this, please help me.
Maybe the ROM hasn't flashed on your phone properly .try again with a clean flash. may help
HiT Thank$ If HelPed
I believe this is independent of the ROM. I had noticed in preparing to flash a new ROM that instead of restarting to the OS, it restarted to the recovery. I didn't take much note of this, but it was clear that this problem began when I flashed the new recovery. Also, the fact that I had used 2 seperate, very different restores (full restores) with no success means that it couldn't have been the ROM.
My only probably clue right now is that the recovery is to blame (which is weird since CWM notes 6.0.4.7 as compatible with LG Spectrum. I had 6.0.1.1 before with no issue). I have no idea how to change this recovery however, given that I can't even boot the OS at all, and there doesn't seem to be a "flash recovery' option in recovery (which is kinda annoying).

Can't start the phone without booting the Stock-Boot recovery img

I wanted to root my OP6 and entered fastboot mode.
I successfully flashed the bluespark img from Terminal and installed the Bluespark ZIP file from this link
After rebooting, it got stuck on the bluespark logo and when I tried to reboot the system, the phone got stuck on the Bootloader unlocked screen.
I tried to repeat the process and this time flashed the TWRP lastest version. Now its stuck on the TWRP logo screen.
Then I browsed around and found these stock boot recovery img files,
After flashing the latest one, the phone got started properly but everytime I restart the phone, its getting stuck on the Bootloader warning screen and the recovery options are still stuck at TWRP image.
If nothing works, have a look here

Bootloop issue Help

Hi,
I have a boot loop with my device.
Tried clean factory images still boot loops on the Google screen. I can get into bootloader / stock recovery and twrp recovery but once i boot it it just loops there been a couple times it got to setup screen but would bootloop shortly after.
Any way to fix or is device a brick?

Stuck indefinitely/ Loop on TWRP

Issue: Recently, when I tried to install Evolution X | Snow 6.3 [30/04/22], my screen was looping on twrp. I tried to reflash older twrp, orange fox recovery, and boot into recovery from fastboot, but, the result was the same.
Solution: I think this applies to other devices as well. I just booted into stock recovery(extracted from already downloaded stock ROM) from fastboot and wiped all data. Now, I am able to boot into system.
Caveat: Recovery is still on loop though. I will edit this post once I solve it
