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.

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.

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

Power + Volume Up and Down just takes me to "FastBoot" or whatever you call it. I have my device rooted, bootloader unlocked, and CWM is flashed (I did all this through Nexus 7 Toolkit, it said it was successful.)
How do you boot into ClockWorkRecovery?
Thank you
EDIT: When I try to boot into recovery via the CWM App, it just takes me to "dead Android" with a warning sign.
You need to flash recovery again it sounds like.

iirc there is a bug in the bootloader regarding recovery
You need to be connected to a computer in order to boot to recovery from bootloader
Using the LG Google Nexus 4 ToolKit, I did the 1 click for all operation [unlock, root,rename,busybox, custom recovery twrp]. I'm rooted properly but I'm just not able to boot into recovery. I tried booting to fastboot, selection recovery with the volume rocker, then pressing the power key, but this just got me back to Android in a minute or so. I downloaded an app from the Play store which boots into recovery but it also boots me straight to android.
I tried separately flashing the recovery via the ToolKit but again I always boot straight to android. How do I fix this?

flash your recovery via fastboot. fastboot flash it, dont fastboot boot it. fastboot booting it only gives you a one time use. also, if you are using the stock rom, you have to delete the recovery-from-boot.p file so your custom recovery doesnt get overwritten by the stock recovery.
I was trying to unlock my Nexus 4. I've done this before on a Galaxy Nexus, successfully but something went wrong here.
Just got CWM Recovery on. I tried to reboot using the recovery and it provided me with two prompts:
1) Do you want to disable the stock recovery install? [ I hit NO ]
2) Do you want to root your device (I believe this is what it asked) [ I hit YES ]
Now my phone is stuck in a reboot loop. I can get into recovery with no problem (and it is still the CWM one). I've tried reloading the recovery to no avail. What are my options to try to fix this?
I have tried fastboot erase cache but it did not restore my phone.
Update your recovery or try to flash another recovery. Twrp is recommended here. Cwm also gave me some hard time with bootloop and stuff

I tried flashing TWRP, but I get the Can't mount /data, Can't mount internal storage, etc etc. I can't flash .zips at all and I feel like my only way out is to use fastboot to deal with things. Even now, I'm trying fastboot and it's stuck trying to send the factory Nexus 4 4.4.4 ROM over...
I have no idea how to safely fall back now. I just want my phone back ASAP.
Just tried flashing 5 out of the 6 imgs to my phone using fastboot (didn't flash recovery). and I'm STILL stuck on the loading screen (10 minutes). Which means I'm still having the problem...I have no idea what to do now.

Flash recovery in fastboot. This'll put the stock recovery on. Do a factory rest in the stock recovery. Then flash the twrp image in fastboot and re-root

Flash it again. Remember to clean out the cache and dalvik cache every time you flash a zip.
This is why most phones get stuck in a boot loop when flashing a new ROM.
As long as you have the custom recovery, you don't need to flash custom recovery
Hope this helps!
I would also recommend PhilZ's recovery. Best of both CWM and TWRP.
