I followed the guides and unlocked & rooted my Nexus 7 tablet. It took a while, but I got it to work eventually. I'm rooted now, and I flashed CWM Recovery 6 (regular) and did a Nandroid backup. When I restarted from CWM, it asked me if I wanted to fix the tablet so that it wouldn't re-flash the stock recovery on reboot, and I said "yes" so I could keep CWM Recovery. However, the next time I rebooted and tried to go to Recovery, the tablet just hung at the Google boot logo with the unlocked padlock icon and wouldn't go into Recovery. I've reflashed CWM from the Rom Manager app, but I cannot get it to work. Any solutions?
Connect a USB cord to your computer. The custom ROM reboot to recovery function works but manually going to boot loader then recovery requires a USB cable connected to a computer on the other end.

Okay, so when I try to boot into CWM, I get stuck on the "Google" screen... Any ideas as to why it won't boot? I used the Nexus Toolkit to install the recovery. Also, I reflashed the recovery via the Nexus Toolkit, and it it boots, but after I reboot into Android, turn off, and Fastboot, it won't reboot into recovery.. It's getting a little irritating to not be able to get into recovery
Yes , it happens to my device as well. I installed quick boot and use it to put the n7 to recovery. I. Guess this is an easy workaround.

Hello,
I recently unlocked, rooted, and CWM (Recovery) my Nexus 7 and everything seemed fine with a custom rom installed aswell.
Just now I edited mymedia_profiles.xml for 720p video mod and rebooted device now stuck at google screen. Even in bootloader when I select recovery it goes strright to google screen and stays stuck.
How do I fix this
If u can't get into recovery u could flash the nexus 7 stock image

when in the boot loader, plug in via USB then press recovery.
if the above does not work try this toolkit. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

Thanks all for help sorted it out.
Re flashed the custom recovery using adb fastboot (Google Nexus 7 Toolkit) all fine now but strange that recovery failed.
After editing a xml file
Its a bug with the 7’s bootloader. You can't get into recovery directly from the bootloader without having the USB plugged into a computer or you can just select reboot into recovery from the power menu on PA or any CM based rom. There are a couple of apps that allow you to reboot into recovery as well like rom manager and rom toolbox... The modified XML file had nothing to do with it.
Hello everyone,
I just installed TWRP via goomanager and when i use "reboot recovery" in goo manager menu: TWRP works fine.
But when i use ROM toolbox lite for reboot into bootloader then i chose simply "Start" or "Recovery mode" i'm also stuck at google logo...
I don't understand one thing, we only can enter into bootloader mode with an android app, we can't do that when we power on the tablet for the first time?
Sorry for my approximate english.
Yes that is correct. Its a bug with the boot loader. You can plug the 7 into a computer USB and it will let you into recovery from the boot loader. This WILL NOT work with a charger though... I know it sucks. Hopefully Google will fix it in future updates.

Hard Reset Nexus 7 Working
For all those who have problem getting to recovery mode after connecting the USB cable to computer, follow the "Configure Drives" step from this link.

Its worth reinstalling the drivers if its already installed.
A bit of a dilemma with my N7 from the bootloader I cannot load recovery.
When I select recovery it just displays the Google Logo
However when im in android and select boot recovery it boots straight into Clockworkmod. Strange.
I have tried flashing Clockworkmod a number of times and its still the same

you need to be plugged in via the usb(not wall charger) to be able to boot into recovery via the bootloader. its a bootloader bug. this info has been repeated over and over and over..
Yeah put a custom ROM with the reboot to recovery option and that'll fix it since you need the combo

I recently just picked up a nexus 4 and i'm trying to get a custom ROM on it. I updated it to 4.3 and that was fine. Went to install custom recovery and every since it will not boot! I've reverted to factory 4.3 using fastboot, and relocked it and locked it but still will not boot. It gets stuck at the X logo. Left it for an hour and won't get past it. If i install a custom recovery, it'll boot into the custom recovery no problem, but won't install root as it can't mount the SD card. I can get to fastboot mode no problem and flash stuff in fastboot but will never boot up. I'm puzzled as to what to do. I'm going to try 4.2.2 factory image here shortly and see if i can get it to take. I forgot to enable USB debugging so i think thats why i can't get custom recoveries to work. I tried pushing a ROM using ADB push but it wouldn't get there. Maybe it did as it said it did on the computer but the recovery won't read the memory. Any ideas as to what to do
UPDATE: Ok after flashing stock 4.2.2 from fastboot it boots.
UPDATE: turns out just having USB debugging was the culprit of everything. So make sure USB debugging is enabled before starting the whole process!
So i have an original Nexus 7, Which has an unlocked bootloader, teamwin recovery v2.6 and completely stock apart from cereberus flashed in recovery.
I am currently in an area where i have very very limited access to internet for 10 days, so am slightly frustrated about that....
4.4 updated downloaded overnight before i travelled and i noticed once i arrived it was ready for install. I let the update go through, and teamwin recovery asked if i want to fix the superuser permissions, to which i said yes.
The N7 rebooted and has been stuck on the spinning circles since then.
I have access to the boot loader and to the recovery but it appears i have USB debug switched off so cannot acces it with adb
I tried a factory reset from recovery but this hasn't helped
Is there a way to get a ROM onto it so i can flash it from recovery, the start from scratch?
Or have a royally screwed it?
