I installed Cynogenmod 11 on my Nexus 5 through their Mac OS X app. Judging by the information that provided me, iI would say it went fine. However, while my phone did the first boot, it got stuck in a boot loop. It continuously showed the alien face with the arrow circling it. I let it sit for about 15 minminutes, and it still didn't boot. So, after that iI tried it a few more times. No dice. Each time doing an identical thing. So, after that iI figured out adb sideload. From there iI attempted to sideload another version of Cynogenmod, 11s, and even Android L. I was able to sideload 11s, but iI had the same problem. It went to the boot animation, and just stayed there. Never booting. Is there some simple fix to this that i don't know about? At this point anything would be helpful. I just want my phone back to some working condition. I have clock work recovery installed. It came along with the Cyanogenmod Mac installer. What iI would really like is a way to just install android back to it'sits factory condition.

Any ideas could be helpful.
