finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...

and then goes back to the cwm recovery menu, as if it finished.

anyway, i tried rebooting after flashing both and my device gets stuck right after starting, i get the google logo and then the screen just turns black and seems to process forever, and nothing happens afterwards, it's just a black screen.

You should Install CM then gapps.

yeah I flashed CM and then gapps.

Interestingly tho, none of the google factory images manages to flash through CWM. they just say update failed without any informative error, while CM and gapps seem to succeed flashing

Google factory images are only flashable via fastboot. But there may be CWMed (cooked) versions available in XDA.

It seems like no matter what rom i flash, it either gets stuck while the phone is loading, or the phone loads and i get this "type password to decrypt" window.

Is there a way to like hard-format my phone, or a way to fix my fastboot flashing problems?
