Galaxy Nexus stuck in Bootloop after updating to KitKat



As the title suggests my Galaxy Nexus is stuck in bootloop. Heres what i did:

I rooted my phone long ago 1 year after it came out so i cant give much detail on this.
In the spirit of pokemonGo i tried to get it to 4.4. 5 Hours extensive reading later, I:

- installed latest superuser for 4.3 *
- made backups on my pc and phone *
* via SkipSoft Toolkit

- downloaded latest kitkat version (4.4), superuser, gapps from this forum
- installed them all in the given order above in the recovery screen

Got it working, but lots of bugs (graphic bugs, acceptable and to be expected; not the issue, browser crashing on starting download, usb from pc not connecting, google store not working, all media displaying services not working). In a feeble attempt to fix this i erased my user data and since then have been stuck in bootloop. Backups from sdcard not working, unable to connect to pc, or rather all usb drivers do not recognise my phone/cannot write to it.

Phone specs:
galaxy nexus I9250XXL31, build JWR66Y (version 4.3)

Help is greatly appreciated, for i am a noob and the /nexus is full of terrors.

Thank you in advance
