So I just unlocked my boot loader and rooted it + installed CMw recovery, and after I did that I was able to get into recovery mode, however I put a custom kernel in my internal storage so that I could flash it but now I can't get into recovery mode... when I clicked recovery it goes to the black screen with the Google symbol on it and stays there.... any idea what I can do here?

You can't get into recovery without a USB cable connected. Install Quickboot from the Google Play Store. That's how i boot into recovery.Quickboot is the only way to do it without a cable.

oh damn, lol thanks alot, had no idea that you needed to be connected, i'll definately be installing quickboot i feel like such a moron
IF A MOD WANTS TO DELETE THIS NOW THEY CANT, THANKS AGAIN!
Yes you can get into recovery without a usb . I'm not sure what the quickboot thing is all its doing is executing a command like
#reboot recovery
That's all it does. If you have terminal execute that command.
But if you're recovery is broken just reflash it using
#fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Or just use the toolkit.

Since you've unlocked your bootloader, you can get into download mode by turning off phone, holding volume rocker up, plug into usb of computer.
After that, follow this guide step by step for success.

I'm having the exact same problem. How did you solve this? (I'm on a stock, rooted, Nexus S)
As posted, us Odin, first you need to download Odin and the rom to use with it, I think the only one available is a 2.3.1 100% stock, I'll try to get the link for you, on the phone, power it off, and hold down the up/down volume then connect your USB to the phone, you phone should indicate downloading ., from then follow the info posted, I'll get you the link.

Hi
I used this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
Bootloader is unlocked, tablet is rooted. CWM installed, but I cant turn on recovery when I'm in bootloader. Author says that I should rename two files - done (both have "-old" in the end).
I can restart in recovery mode when I'm in Android and using RomManager.
What is wrong?

There's a known issue with the recovery option in the bootkoader.
To fix it, while in fast boot mode, attached your device to your computer and then select recovery. Otherwise just select from adb or an app.

It's a problem with the boot loader. For now you will need to be plugged into a computer to go into recovery. It doesn't even have to have drivers or anything installed.
Plug in tablet into computer
Use power and volume buttons to get into recovery
And no, this problem won't be fixed by flashing twrp because it deals with the boot loader.
Just boot to recovery from Rom manager or similar.
I can confirm that quick boot does work to get you into recovery.

Same problem
I've read in other threads that deleting the stock recovery, or modifying it's filename, will fix this problem. Does anyone know if this is true? I can boot recovery through Rom manager or through the power menu. The only worry I have is if I ever get stuck in a bootloop, or brick. It is good to know about the usb trick to load CWM, thanks for that.
Flash TWRP, and use an app like quick boot to reboot into recovery.

I use TWRP and boot to recovery through the roms power menu. I've been very happy with TWRP though, I use a recovery because of stability and performance. I could really care less if it's touch or if it has themes, so when I recommend TWRP it's because I've been using it so long on my transformer prime and nexus 7 and it has done nothing but work exactly like it should.

Weird because today I tried to get into CWR for the first time since I rooted, and it wouldn't work. I got the red ! triangle [sticking out of the green robot].
I plugged it into my laptop.. [and btw I was holding vol UP/DOWN, press power, in the bootloader then selecting 'Recovery' then <Power>] and this time it showed the "Google" and the unlocked lock.. but then booted into the Android OS.
So I flash TWRP [using Ubuntu, and $ fastboot install recovery {TWRP-filename.img}. And what do you know. It booted perfectly into recovery.
So how do you explain that?

The only possible ways to boot into recovery from a working system partition is by either using an app that reboots for you/terminal command.
To reboot from bootloader/button combination you need to have a USB connection otherwise it will freeze at the Google logo. This is bootloader related and not recovery related as any recovery (stock/cwm/twrp) show the same behavior.
You can try fully powering off the tablet and try booting by button combo and you will see it freezes. Using the power adapter will completely freeze your bootloader if you try, so you require a USB connection to a computer to get into recovery.
For me to boot into recovery , I have to use the tool kit all the time. Is that what everyone is doing??? Because every time I go to fastboot and choose recovery (with my N7 plugged on the usb) I get the Android with the exclamation point.

I had the same thing, but I flashed TWRP and it works most of the time. let me know if you try it.
I updated TWRP today to 2.3.0.0 from within GooManager then rebooted into recovery and fixed my permission. It was done unusually fast and when I rebooted, it would get stuck on the booting screen. When I tried to boot into recovery by pressing power and both volume buttons, it would get stuck on the google logo.
Please advise.
Any other way I can fix this or somehow restore from a backup?
A lot of users are having issues with cwm and twrp not booting with new boot loader. You can revert back to old version or some have had success by deleting "recovery-from-boot." file. You can look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779092 I'm going to wait patiently for a twrp update that should resolve the issue.

I'm sorry but I'm not too much of an expert on Android. AFAIK Recovery mode is the only way I know to do some low system stuff. If I can't boot into recovery, how else can I do anything to fix this?

If I try to boot into system, it's stuck on boot animation.
If I try to boot into recovery manually (power + volume buttons then select recovery) it would get stuck on Google. It doesn't loop.
I see that you posted over on the twrp thread, hopefully those guys can help you. I am assuming that you have updated to 4.1.2? If you're really stuck maybe try a tool kit like wugs or n7 toolkit? Sorry but SDK isn't one of my strong points either

You can reflash recovery from fastboot. If you've updated to 4.1.2 you might be experiencing same issue as many of us - being unable to boot to recovery. If that is the case, flash bootloader 3.34 from the JRO03D factory image as well.

From what I understand, in order to reflash recovery from fastboot would require me to get the file to the device. However, right now I can't seem to get access at all as it never boots up whether into system or recovery. Are there any other ways to get files onto there?

OK this is weird. I tried rebooting into recovery again and it worked! I then rebooted into system and that worked too! This is so strange because I didn't do anything different. I guess it just took 20+ tries... I am not rebooting in a while... lol

which sounds like you were able to get to fastboot mode (power + vol buttons) - your N7 should look like this. From there you can issue fastboot commands to the device to flash recovery. kerne, and bootloader to name a few.
Actually I spoke too soon.
I can boot into recovery TWRP 2.3 with USB plugged in, but still can't boot into system.
Is it possible for me to downgrade to TWRP 2.2 from within TWRP? I kind of doubt it but am pretty desperate at the moment lol.
Yes, I can get into fastboot, but I'm not sure how to do anything besides pressing volume up or down to start, recovery, fastboot or shut down.

If you can get in to fastboot you are in good shape. :good:
You'll need the fastboot program (and the driver if on Windows) on your computer in order to issue commands. This guide can direct you on how to get that set up.

Fortunately I was able to wipe everything while I was in recovery and restore from my most recent backup and now it's working fine. At the very least it's allowing me to boot into system

I installed twrp a few weeks ago through GooManager and made a backup. When the 4.1.2 update came out, I downloaded it manually with the intent on flashing it via cu custom recovery, but low and behold twrp wasn't working at all. Even with my device plugged into my Win 7 pc... nothing but the exclamation point droid.
I was able to install an updated version of twrp and get everything sorted out, but now I don't have a lot of faith in it, and am booting into recovery at least once a day to make sure it's still working. I never had any problems with cwm.
