I have installed custom recovery using GooManager but i'm unable to really get in it, yes it was installed but I don't get in.
I have tried with connecting the usb cable to computer and entering fastboot commando's but everything just gets me at a black screen.
I read there are more problems with the recovery on Nexus 7, but I have followed many instructions here but still i'm not able getting in.
I used the Nexus 7 toolkit to.

You can get in to recovery using a terminal, if you are rooted.
Su
Reboot recovery
If you not rooted, boot into bootloader and then choose recovery
Excuse the capitalization

This also not worked, it resulted into an black screen after the Google boot logo. And when I boot into the boatloader I get the same.
Can you describe exactly what you do?
Also, what happens when you reboot while holding both top and bottom button (have it plugged into computer the whole time to avoid potential bugs). Are you able to get into fastboot then select recovery?
I have used GooManager to put recovery on it and I rooted with Nexus toolkit. I tried rebooting into recovery using GooManager and I tried with commando that was said here.
I do get into fastboot when pressing powerbutton and both vol up and down together, but when I wanna enter recovery this way it won't work and will end up a black screen.
Are you by chance connected to USB when you try to enter the recovery. Hook up and give it a try and let me know
** I reread and saw you already tried it. Was worth a shot
Yes I connected the tablet with usb but it resulted in the same and GooManager said it installed the recovery, I also got a folder off it on tablet but its empty. I also tried rebooting into recovery with Nexus 7 root toolkit v1.5.3 but after the Google logo dissapears de screen stays black and I don't see any recovery.
Are you sure you flashed the recovery? It seems it's not in there.
You can try flash it again, but don't use the toolkit. Use the command line instead.
Just make sure the recovery is made permanent.
Before you flash again, you can also check if there is a recovery img under /.

Black screen again, I see no recovery, but it goes past the the Google logo but then stays black.
It seems recovery is on it because I have flashed a kernel and made an backup but that I did using Nexus Root Toolkit. Do you think my Nexus 7 might have the backlight off when its booting in recovery? As I got the backlight bug in Android to and that is why I turned off auto brightness.

Can you see a Google in the middle and a lock icon at the bottom? Before it turn back.

Yes i can see that Google in midle and unlocked icon and after that it turns black.
There is a stock recovery under systems on the bottom I had to rename that to .bak before I could get my recovery to work.
I think I already figured it out, recovery is installed but my Nexus 7 got the auto brightness issue to, so that is what must be happen the backlight is turned off and that must be why I can't see the recovery.
Because it works accualty. Now I don't know is it a software bug or do I got a faulty Nexus 7, i'm going contact Asus about.
EDIT
I got an replacement and now everything works fine, i also get into recovery so I guess my guess was right, the screen just went black.
I am using Nexus Root kit to unroot my device. However I totaly forgot that I rooted it and tried to update to 4.4 kitkat. I got the error and when I try to boot up, it says no command. THere is no way past that screen. So in the toolkit i flash stocked and unrooted the device, but then i have to relock it. But to do so I need usb debugging enabled which is impossible to do without being able to boot up device. Now when I boot it up it has the android figure laying down with red triangle saying nothing. What do I do?

That Android guy lying down is fastboot. In fastboot mode you give this command: fastboot oem lock. This will re lock your bootloader. I think you will lose all your data. But I cant remember if it was with unlocking or locking the bootloader.
But why do you want to lock the bootloader?

WOW, I fixed this problem 1 2 3. My nexus has been broken like this for weeks and I went to this link, went to the first step and downloaded from that link. I clicked on the file in there, it was a .exe and it ran something in command promt and the nothing happened. I thought nothing of it. Then after a few minutes I unplugged and gave up. Two seconds later I felt a vibration and the Nexus 10 set up came up and I was sooooo happy. Here is the link, I have no idea what it did, but it fixed it and my boot-loader is still unlocked!!!!! I broke up the URL so I could input the link.

So I rooted my g2 then I used clockwork mod app to install recovery. Well I booted to recovery and it's just sets at a black screen. When plugged into a computer it pops up to format like 30 drives. I have tried the recovery batch file for cwm and it results in the same thing. Tried flashify and flashing twrp and still have the same thing. Please I have no idea what else to do.

I ended up flashing back to stock and then rooted with ioroot15 and then followed these instructions http://www.android.gs/install-twrp-recovery-lg-g2/ It worked.
But me being an idiot didn't take my titanium backup off the phone before the flash so I lost all my settings. #draganddrop #oopsies

Hello,
I am on VS98012B as well. I rooted with 'ioroot24' .. That all went fine. Now when I am trying to install a custom recovery (got botched the first couple times) ... now I can not get the phone to pop up the RSA fingerprint and when I try to boot into recovery using ADB commands or quickboot the phone just goes to a black screen and if it is plugged into the computer (windows 7) it pops up a bunch of different drives at me like endleesss was having. I could use and would appreciate some pointers!
Thanks!

I am getting this exact same problem, I used ioroot25, which also went fine. When I go to reboot into recovery I just get a black screen. When I boot into recovery with it plugged into my computer I also get Windows telling me that I need to format a bunch of drives before I can use them. I also get one drive that lets me open and it has a "images" folder in it, with a bunch of other files inside that. Not sure what is going on but any help would be awesome.

Seeing this exact same thing after going to a 4.4.2 ROM. I was coming from a 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.7 and now cannot get back in to recovery mode. I get just a black screen and also see the multiple drives popup when I plug in USB to the pc. I've tried flashing different recoveries with no luck. Hope a fix for this can be found.
Same problem but worse
I have this problem as well and have known that it needing fixing. Problem is the phone tried to auto-update to kitkat at night and now all i get is lg logo some commands in the top left then it tried to install via stock recovery. I can't get away from this as far as I know yet. I can't get to dl mode to just flash stock. I feel i might be completely boned. I tried pulling the battery ribbon to see if that would kick it out of this commanding it into recovery but I really don't know what to do at all at this point. Can someone help please or atleast tell me im boned so i can try to salvage. maybe do a warranty replacement. Thanks in advance
This thread will help with the "drives popping up", "black screen" etc..
--------------------------
For the ones with fastboot issue who can't enter dload mode:
download yor corresponding laf.img
Download this
extract it, put your laf.img inside(rename laf.bin to laf.img if needed), run "run this", you should be able to boot to download mode.

I was able to follow all of the directions in that post though it doesn't seem to have done the trick. I have left a post in that thread asking their opinion on things but idk if it will be answered since it is such a large post.
If you have any experience with these partitions, could you direct me to a way to stop the device from trying to run the OTA. This seems to be the largest problem as to why its not working since it pushes itself into recovery every boot, though it seems the recovery partition flash didn't take for some reason.
I am using 64-bit Ubuntu could that be an issue?

Hello XDA
First off let me tell you what im running.
Nexus 4 running Cyanogenmod 11 with USB debugging turned off.
So my I bought this phone used and allowed my brother to install a custom ROM on it. I also gave him the OK when he asked me if he can encrypt the phone. (No problem, what can go wrong right?) Well it turns out nothing did go wrong but the only thing is when I went to go change the password I only changed the SCREEN LOCK password not the encryption password thinking they were the same. When i went to go boot up my phone today it asked for the encryption password but wont accept the lock password. Went to ask my brother for the password and he said he forgot because he had already told it to me.
Now im stuck with a possible broken phone =[
Steps I have tired: after painstaking hours on google and XDA looking for an answer
- I have tired to download TWRP but cant install the zip file because i cant get the fastboot to show USB FASTBOOT
- I have tired recovery mode with ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 and tired the cwipe data/ factory reset with no luck
Can someone please guide me in the right direction on what I should do to fix my phone?
Many Thanks!!
Flash the factory image in fastboot. It'll wipe the device and return it to like new. If you don't have fastboot Google 15 second adb install xda

I installed the 15 secs ADB but when i run the program, it quickly shows a DOS screen then auto closes. Would this still work with USB debugging turned off on my android?
EDIT
the phone doesnt even show up on my device manager, after typing "adb devices" no devices show up. I have tired to manually install the drivers but it wont show up on device manager
You can just factory reset the phone to remove encryption. Boot the phone into recovery mode. When you see the "no command" screen hol vol-up and tap power, then you can wipe the device.
I wanted android l so i followed this tutroial: (sorry wont let me link) How-to Restore/Unroot/Upgrade Any NEXUS to factory image on MAC (I do have Windows awnd mac I got to where u erase everything. Something happen now when i hold power and vol down i can get to the four option menu, but when i select recovery mode it goes black and same when i select start. Im trying wuzzy but it doesnt seem recongize my device becuase i deleted everything. Not sure how to fix this but need help!!!!!! I did usb debuggin before but doesnt seem like it anymore
Do you have fastboot mode? Can your phone enter it
