CWM question - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got an issue here,
I rooted through the one click root the other day.
I've gone into the boot menu using power and volume buttons(where it says recovery, bootloader etc..) when I click recovery it doesn't load, just comes up with the Google logo with the padlock. However when I've gone through quick boot to recovery, CWM boots

I think it's a bug. People say you have to have it plugged in to a computer, or it doesn't boot into CWM.

Don't suppose you know if it's going to be fixed? Is it an issue with CWM or the bootloader?

No, I don't really know. sorry..
does anyone else know?

Bumping, because I tried tweeting @clockworkmod and didn't hear anything back.

Anyone know if this got fixed? Still can't put it into CWM without using Quick Boot.

Does not go into recovery

ok first off i am using my first nexus device which is the nexus 7. i have recently unlocked and rooted it so that i can flash paranoidandroid onto it. i used the google nexus 7 toolkit 4.0.0 too. so when i hold down the volume rocker buttons, i get into fast boot mode. after that i select recovery but when i do that, it goes pixelated for a sec and a dead android guy appears with a explanation mark over him. I'm assuming it already has a clockwork mod but if not can someone please help me?
Check your app drawer for cwm. If it's not there download it from the play store, once installed open it up and flash it. Or go back to your toolkit and flash it .

CWM or ROM Manager. It's also unnecessary to hold the volume keys to get the bootloader; hold power until the Google screen (maybe not necessary), at which point you just press volume down.

well i went into the toolbox and flashed clock work mod and its still doing the same thing. any ideass???
Sorry I meant download ROM manager. I stand corrected. Thank you. Once it installs try flashing cwm from there. If that doesn't work you might have to go back to stock and start over.
Hope this helps

What's the toolbox? Use ROM Manager.

Yeah it still doesn't work
Does it boot up and function normal? Are you sure you have root?
I think you should start over. Try flashing stock 4.2.1. See what happens.
I am also very new to this. I really messed mine up twice. I had to start over time and time again just to get mine working.
Reading on here a lot of people don't like these toolkits. You have to follow the directions given to you from the toolkit to perfection or they don't work. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
I can't help with adb (I'm still trying to learn)
The toolkit will work. Like I said, try flashing a stock ROM. If the toolkit let's it flash then there is no reason it won't flash cwm.
Read the directions

did you delete the recovery-from-boot.p/ file? you would have to if youre using the stock rom, or the stock recovery will replace the custom recovery every time. use root explorer or a similar root file manager to delete it.
It'd probably be best to flash a recovery image through fastboot. You can find both CWM and TWRP in the dev section.

Also I noticed that it always worked if I plugged it into a PC. I don't know weird glitch I guess.

Touch screen had become unresponsive on bottom of screen please help!

I flashed my third ROM using twrp 2.6 and it worked fine as usual but I went to update the rom and flashed the zips it went through alright but said I lost super user access and to swipe to fix so I did but it didn't work just rebooted back to recovery and after a Bunchve tries I finally just unrooted my device completely using qbking's method and it unrooted my device but it is still unresponsive on the bottom of the screen but only on certain apps and the keyboard. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?? And is there anything I can do to fix this?? Need help ASAP :/

Download the MF9 tar file and install through odin to return to stock and start over unless you have a nandroid you can restore. Sounds like there is something corrupted in your files and it will be better to start from scratch.
Thanks can u give me steps on how to do that and should I run the pit file in Odin too? I saw that some where

Have you tried this with other tw roms or aosp roms? Also you might want to downgrade to twrp 2.5.0.2 since 2.6 is a bit buggy
Edit: here is the link for twrp 2.5.0.2 I got it from sacs rom
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c9fqr1b8q63cjt/TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2.zip
Just flash it in twrp and your good to go
Also flash kernel to see that is also the problem.

So I should try flashing another rom to see if it fixes the problem?

Try going to the dialer and typing *#0*#
This will bring up a test menu. From here you can test the touch screen.
After flashing a new rom rry it as well. This will test if it is the rom or not too. If it works theee but not ar other times it is probably the rom.

What rom are you using? I had that happen with Pacman, and the screen went back to normal when I flashed a different rom.

[Q] Does someone can help me?

I flash a new rom yesterday for my nexus 4. Unfortunately, it was stuck in the custom rom logo.
I want to fix it via recovery mode. Sadly, my volume key was broken:crying:
Does anybody knows how can I boot my nexus 4 without using volume key? (it was stuck in the custom rom logo.)
Is it an other way that is possible to fix my phone?
And don't pick on my english, I know that is poor:angel:
Use the application goo manager, it gives you the option to reboot into recovery

The phone bootloops. Did you try to use adb reboot recovery when bootanimation shows up? It could work

I wonder if he made a nandroid. However if your volume Kris are broken obviously you'd want to fix that.

it could also be an app, among other things. have you tried if after a factory reset, and a minimum amount of apps, it still continues?
No I haven't let. I only have a few apps downloaded. Including ROM manager and that's about it oh ya and Skype cud that be the issue?

it could be possibly. could be rom manager as well(or other root apps). is there a certain situation when this happens? do you have the superuser or supersu app installed?

It happened once when using Skype and once when browsing the web and I have the super su app installed

It happens to me sometimes due to a faulty kernel. It happened on stock too though. It shouldn't really be a problem and doesn't happen often to me. It went away after a day or so anyways.

try this, just as an easy possible solution.. boot into your custom recovery and wipe the dalvik and cache, nothing else, then reboot.

(help) reboot recovery fix SU.

hello everyone I have a problem and maybe others do to so this can be for how ever my need some help. I'm running a 4.3 pac rom and when I'm in recovery mode, I push the reboot button and it tells me fix SU (system/bin/.ext) then a yes or no bar I select yes. but never manages to fix. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS? thanks
