Default HELP! BootLoop trying to root boss' CDMA GNexus!

Okay, so I'm trying to root my boss' phone: I did warn him that things could go awry but we went ahead and tried anyway. I'm using adb commands from a mac. I downloaded CWM toro (for gnex) and the lastest su.zip file. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM, and was able to push su.zip over to the /sdcard through the command line (it reads 3985 KB/s and how long it took, etc.) - Now still in CWM, I can't seem to access the sdcard. I'm getting a "Couldn't open diretory." which shows up twice, followed by a "no files found" error. But the terminal window shows that the file was pushed over. Rebooting goes into a loop halfway through the splashscreen. Still have access to CWM and able to enter fastboot mode through holding VOL UP and VOL DOWN while powering. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Tried Wiping Cache, reboot to recovery - still no luck. Tried Wiping Dalvik Cache, reboot to recovery - still no luck.

EDIT: Tried downloading appropriate recovery images from Google's website. Flashed files in order from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=20441992 <--these instructions, everything checked out okay and still looping at boot.

I hope this is reversible. Seriously, anyone? Any help is appreciated.

Didn't think it would go like this as I rooted my GNex with ease (GSM version) using the same method.
