Won't boot to CWM Recovery?

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.

CWM Problems

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.

[Q] How to Boot into CWM?

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

[HELP}Nexus 4 Recovery Mode Issue

Alright guys this is pretty frustrating and scaring me completely.
I unlocked the bootloader no problem. Then I wanted to flash TWRP recovery by typing in this command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img" so I could root.
Then when I rebooted into bootloader mode and selected recovery I got the Android laying down with the red triangle exclamation mark.
So I downloaded the Nexus 4's factory image and re-flashed the stock recovery by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and the same thing happens.
I even tried booting into stock recovery by typing fastboot boot recovery recovery.img and the same thing.
Any help will be appreciated and its urgent lol.
EDIT: FIXED! Forgot to type in fastboot erase cache after flashing TWRP. Not sure if it was required but I did and all is well now.
Thanks again guys
Thanks
Edit: Another issue - I installed CWM SuperSu v0.98 via TWRP and I hit reboot. Now I see the Google logo for a while. Then the Nexus logo. It doesn't boot into the actual phone. Still stuck on the Nexus logo. Any takes folks?

The android laying down with the red triangle is the stock recovery. You usually press volume up when on that screen to get stock recovery options.

Ya but even before when I flashed TWRP, I couldn't even get to TWRP. I went to the bootloader mode. Pressed the vol keys till I got to Recovery.Then I pressed the power button to select it and that's when I got the red triangle with the Android laying down both on stock and TWRP recoveries even when booting into the recovery vs flashing.

Hmm sounds like the same boot loader problem I had with the nexus 7 and it was fixed with the 4.1.2 update
Try flashing cwm recovery I normally don't use TWRP because I never really liked it too much but see if that works.

Okay so I was able to boot temporarily into TWRP by typing fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img. Now I'll see if I can flash it... and try booting into recovery mode.People on the Nexus 4 Dev threads and on the Paranoid Android threads recommended TWRP since it works properly with Android 4.2 vs CWM and they said TWRP is a step better.

Mods please lock thread. Thanks

Could you please be more specific on how did you fix it?
I've got my N4 maybe a month ago, I installed the 4.2.2 OTA as soon as I got it, the I proceeded to unlock it and root it, one day someone recommended to clear the cache of the phone using the stock recovery (which I thought I had / to fix another problem that I was having) I went to fastboot and tried to access recovery, BOOM, just an android laying down with a red exclamation mark, no "no command" error at all. I downloaded CWM touch and flashed it using Nexus Root Toolkit, that worked fine, but I didn't want a custom recovery and also I needed to fix a 3G latency problem that I was having, after some reading I saw that someone recommended a full flash using the stock google image.
A couple of days I proceeded to flash the factory image, I installed it, after that I did a factory reset from android itself. After doing all that I wanted to clear the cache with the stock recovery just in case, BOOM, an an android laying down with a red exclamation mark and this time with a "no command" error. Tried the trick of holding the power and pressing the volume up, NOTHING HAPPENS!
Right now I am using CWM Touch.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.

Same thing with my phone. I flashed a custom recovery but cannot get into it. By pressing recovery mode from the bootloader, it just displays an android laying down with „!”.

I have the same problem with the stock recovery "no command". Is there a solution to the problem ....

Not able to boot into custom recovery

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.
