I just want to know which recovery should I install...I'm new to the pad game and I just wanted some input...I just rooted my N7 and ready to install a recovery...I'm used to CWR on my sgIII...but I see that TWRP is the new recovery that some guys are installing...also is there problem with boring into recovery from the device? Thanks in advanced...

I prefer cwm touch which you can get from the site. Or you can flash the button version from rommanager
Twrp does work tho, but I've read issues with restoring backups.
Booting into recovery on the device in a way is messed up. The button combo method to enter using the bootloader hangs when not connected to a PC, so there are two options on getting into recovery.
A. Connect to a PC and use bootloader
B. With a working OS, reboot to recovery using an app such as rommanager or goomanager
If you ever flash a rom that won't boot, u need to connect to a PC and boot into recovery via bootloader (button combo).

I use TWRP and had successfully restored now a couple of times. Once was a complete device replacement where I restored the TWRP restore files from my workstation.
How I do my backups to ensure I can restore from a total loss.

Ah, I was curious if this bug still existed or not.
I'd go with CWM, quite stable, easy to use, and you can flash the touch recovery, speeds it up.

Thanks, I read somewhere that if you go into system/ and rename recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak, fixes the bootloop...can anyone confirm this... thank in advance

Try it. Bootloader issue still exists regardless.

I'm a TWRP guy all the way. I have never had an issue restoring a backup, and the ability to compress my nandroid is invaluable.

TWRP has definitely converted me.

Hey guys, so my 7 is working fantastic, except if I reboot into the bootloader, then choose recovery, it just hangs on the Google screen. If I then reboot and choose boot into recovery from rom manager, it works perfectly.
Any ideas? Not the biggest deal, but annoying.
I rooted with the nexus toolkit and have tried various kernels, which didn't change anything.
Thanks!

Same here, expect I manually unlocked and rooted. The only way beyond rom manager for me is with adb or if the rom has a power menu with a recovery option.
Noob question here, but how do you get into recovery from adb. Haven't familiarized myself with adb yet

It's a bug, just use rom manager or reboot recovery from terminal emulator
i have CWM flashed on to my NS4g.I created a stock nandroid. When i flashed the stock nandroid CWM did asked me about flashing recovery and then did the reverse psych thing it does (thousand no's one yes.) Anyway I apparently clicked the wrong one and am stuck with CWM. I tried loading another nandroid, then reloading the stock and i didn't even get the option. So know i'm wondering how to get stock recovery back.

I read somewhere that you need to flash a stock recovery image via fastboot for stock recovery.

May have to flash the stock images via fastboot.

So just run the command fast boot flash recovery recovery.img?

Ok so heres the story. Ubuntu released a version of it self for the N7 and I went to try it out. Works ok kinda sluggish, but I digress.
Went back to stock and it went smooth as butter. Now I went to flash CWM and it flashed like it was supposed to. Now for some reason my tablet only boots into recovery no matter what. I tried to press power and vol down to get into the bootloader and it just boots recovery.
I used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4 to flash the image.
It's stuck in cwm?
Can you reach it via adb?
If so enter "adb reboot fastboot"

Tried that and ADB said there was no device attached. So, I reinstalled my drivers and that worked. Managed to get into fast boot and reflashed stock. I manually flashed cwm and that worked no problem. I'm now back on my own version of cm10.

There are two files you have to flash in CWM/TWRP to have it available at any time. You don't even need a computer to install and test it. Be warned, though, it's really not worth it at it's current state.

The flashable zips are in here. I haven't personally tried it yet -- internet in my country is pretty crappy.. download will take a while..

Just to get everything clear, I flash the manta.zip, then the all devices.zip, and it will boot fine? As well can I just get back into twrp after to wipe and restore from nandroid backups?
Thanks in advance for the help

The dev preview installs CWM over TWRP it seems

Flash manta, then flash the armhf, then wipe and you're good to go. That worked for me and didn't mess with my sdcard at all. (obviously it does a 'factory reset' on the device though). Backup with TWRP and you're good to go.

Only if you do it using the Ubuntu install method, where it flashes the .imgs over top. If you install it via CWM/TWRP then it keeps whatever recovery you have on the device.

I flashed them both like you said, but it would just reboot my recovery when about 2/3 the way done with the armhf zip, and i tried just rebooting system but it just boots past google and sits at a black screen. Thinking i might have a bad download but nonetheless it was not a success on my end and im just back on android.
thanks anyways for the help, if anyone else hears of this issue and knows how to solve i would love to know.
Does this OS allow me to run any Ubuntu program? Or is it a different system?

Currently, it does not.
I'm running CM 10.2 and every time I try and boot into recovery, it boots into stock recovery instead of CWM. I've tried booting into it using the menu when you hold the power button and then I've tried holding power+volume down on restart and every time it just goes stock.
Any help/opinions are much appreciated.

Turn off your device, hold all three buttons until you see a menu pop up. Select Recovery and you should get CWM.

Every time I go into recovery, it sends me to the Android with the exclamation point, then I get to stock recovery. Even with the three button.
Looks like you need to flash your recovery again

Yep, and after flash is complete, power-off your phone and boot straight into recovery. There's an install script that needs to complete. If you don't boot straight into CWM, stock recovery will override CWM.
I didn't do that last time, that must be why I can't get there now. Thanks for the heads up!

Well I ran into the same problem where I just get dead Andy. I flashed TWRP from fastboot but for the life of me can't remember how to boot into recovery from there.
Edit
I literally looked for over an hour about how to get into recovery before I posted. Well I found the answer almost immediately after posting, power/Vol+.
So I flashed my recovery again through fastboot, powered up using power/Vol + but still can't get into recovery.
Are you on stock ROM? You may have to remove or rename the recovery install file install-recovery.sh after flashing TWRP... Located in system>etc on stock

Thanks anyway, but after trying to flash with Flashify and that not working I tried an app called recovery tools that fixed my issue.

You could have just installed Rom Manager & flashed the Photon Q recovery then flashed Philz or the latest twrp they are in my goodies.
Oh... I always fast boot the recovery...
