Greetings,
I have successfully unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7. Now I'm attempting to flash CWM to the device, and it seems to have successfully gone, however I can't seem to boot to it. I've used the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit V2 which says it successfully flashed it, but still am unable to boot into cwm.
After shutting down the device I hold the up + down + power buttons down and all it does is boots into fastboot mode. If I let go of the buttons when I see the google image then the device just boots normally. Can anyone clarify what I'm doing wrong here? Cheers.
From fastboot, if you hook up your nexus to the computer, with the cable included then select 'recovery' by toggling thru the choices with volume and using the power button to select, it should boot into cwm. It only boots when connected to a computer, it's a known bug Next time do a forum search, dont start a new thread.

When i try to reboot into recovery from fastboot, I get stuck at the google logo and nothing happens. However, when I try to boot into recovery from android with the expanded power menu or usuing the toolkit, it works without a hitch? Does this mean I have a dodgy tablet?

Apparently this is an issue for a lot of people including myself. I haven't found a solution to enter recovery from the fast boot menu other than using an app like quick reboot from the play store.
If you find a permanent solution please share it here thanks.

This is an issue for everyone and it's a problem with the bootloader. The only way to get to recovery from the fastboot menu is to have your USB cable plugged into both the Nexus 7 and your running computer.
hey
i got my new nexus 7 and wanted to flash a new rom, so i just downloaded this and the flashing tool from this thread.
i didnt root/unlock bootloader or anything else, i just used the tool and did all the steps.
Boot into fastboot,
Wipe my Data,
Install Recovery + Kernel Ability
there were some more steps, but after this my nexus didnt do anything (maybe because of the missing root or the not unlocked bootloader or whatever?!)
it just was stuck in the mode with the android laying on the floor and giving error codes.
so i thought i softbricked it and googled some tutorials to restore a stock rom.
i foundthis and it seemed to work, but it was a bit outdated
i didnt get a .zip from the developers.google.com page, just a .tar, so i couldnt do
Code:
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jro03d.zip
i just shut down the device then and thought it could maybe already work, because i updated/replaced the bootloader or something like this with
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
but after rebooting it just shows me a completly black screen with a white "Google" in the middle and an open lock on the bottom.
it isnt responding to anything im doing, like pressing on/volume-buttons or connecting usb
the computer cant dedect it via adb with
Code:
fastboot devices
....
what can i do now? do i have to wait, until the battery is dead? this can take days...
i know i did something really stupid
is there any way to restore my nexus 7?
please excuse my bad english and please help me
thank you very much
Hold Power and both volume buttons until it goes off, then power it on while holding both volume buttons. When you see the android, Open Fast boot or a Nexus 7 tool and flash a stock image. You can get them from the Google Dev site. Hope this helps.

thanks for your help.
when i press power and both volume buttons the screen goes black after a few seconds, but it immediately reboots
Keep holding to volume buttons the entire time. It should go into the boot loader.

ok, thank you, it did. im too impatient :laugh:
i connected it and it was dedected, thank your very much
i went to developers[dot]google[dot]com/android/nexus/images, is this the right google dev site?
i already downloaded this file and i only got a .tar when extracting it, but it seems like i need a .img
You could try and use the nexus toolkit. I haven't tried it, but it should be able to download and flash a stock img to your device from the bootloader.
Good Luck

my nexus 4 have a strange problem that i don't know if it's just me.
no matter is if the bootloader is locked or unlock i can't get into recovery mode.I just saw Android laying down with red triangle with exclamation mark.
i tried to flash a recovery but i just keep getting error or fastboot will just crash on window.
another problem is after bootloader is unlock. where u use the volume key to select start/restart bootloader/recovery/ poweroff/ won't work. i can choose different one but when i hit power bottom nothing happen. i can only hold and shut off.
i tried everything on this fourm i just don't know what to do. all i want to do is root my nexus 4 and use a custom recovery please help!

Try using a Nexus 4 Toolkit. It makes things a lot easier for you if you wish to install a recovery.
For the bootloader problem. I'm not sure whats causing it.
The android laying down with exclamation mark is the stock recovery. What you can do is;
install twrp through GooManager. Install GooManager from market, Press menu then install openrecoveryscript.
Then you need to overwrite the stock recovery. Go in the system with root explorer go into system and find the recovery-from.boot.p and change the name by adding .bak to it so you can get it back if needed. Then try reboot into recovery.
Hope this helps you out.

hello
after i try to unlock the bootloader my nexus stuck in "X" (with toolkit 2.0)
and the recovery mod is not work (Attachments)
I had the same problem when unlocking mine, reboot into fast boot and use the volume buttons to change the select option to recover and hit power, you should get a picture of an android with a red triangle that's normal , then try a couple times to hit the power and both volume buttons to boot into the stock recovery and then do a full wipe and factory reset (wipe both cache and dalvik cache just yo be safe) you may have to do this more then once, I did but it fixed the problem

Just get back into recovery and factory reset. This is a common issue when unlocking bootloader.
Please help as I seem to have placed my Nexus 10 into a Bootloop state through Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.8 by WugFresh. I have been attempting to enter into Recovery following the steps outlined here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239524). However, the tablet never seems to enter Recovery mode. At best I get a blank screen that eventually comes around to an unusable Bootloader. By unusable, I mean the volume buttons do not progress through the options. If select Recovery on a functional Bootloader and simply press the Power button. The tablet will cycle through to an Android with the red symbol.
Now the Toolkit no longer even see's my device even though Win 8 Device Manager shows the Android Bootloader Interface. There are no devices listed with the exclamation point warning symbol.
This is only my third attempt at Unlocking and Rooting a device. The first two times were successful on an HTC phone and a Samsung Tab 7". I do not know where to go from here and really need help fixing my Nexus 10.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Edit: I figured out how to access Recovery. I needed to use power + volume up once on the screen with the Android avatar and red symbol.

Before discovering how to enter Recovery properly, I did end up flashing to stock. Unfortunately, I am unable to get ADB to recognize my Nexus 10 using Wug's scripts, even though the ADB installer see's the unit. I believe this is a Windows 8 issue, but I am not 100% positive. That said, I did further research and found another method using the Fastboot command line which did work. My Nexus 10 is now unlocked and rooted. I wish I had kept the thread's URL to the other method.
I wonder if my issue's come from not uninstalling the Samsung G3 through device manager as I did my Nexus 10. I did uninstall though the USB app found within Wug's, but that may not have been enough. That is certainly something I shall try in the future.
Someone please comment with help! My phone was rooted and I flashed TWRP and saved a restore rom of "Stock Root". My phone must have gotten warm and now it only boots into TWRP. I have tried flashing my recovery (Doesn't work), using ADB Sideloader (Never Finishes running), Using Terminal Command (how do I navigate to Start Folder?), and using ADB commands to push file. The big problem I am seeing is my computer is saying that drivers aren't installed. I re-install the drivers I used when I rooted but still nothing. I run adb devices and it is not listed. I just want to get back to my stock root or be able to flash a CM stable. Please help!
I have been all over this site and it is always helpful but this time my searches have not led to sucsess...
Download and install koush adb drivers and then pc will see ur phone and I guess u know the rest.

OK
1. Turn device off by holding power key down until bootloop stops.
2. Hold power, down volume and where the home key would be.
3. choose yes factory reset, should take you back to recovery....

Here is the original directions I followed. Saved my phone. Only works if you have flashable ROM in recovery.
The key thing here is hold the power and vol down and then where the home screen is normally on your blank screen hold down all 3
