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.

Anybody able to run Scrabble on their N4 ?

No matter what ROM I install, I get a "device not compatible "
Anyways around this ?

I was able to sideload a copy of the APK from my Nexus 7. But it really doesn't seem to like Jelly Bean. I'm running stock rooted 4.2.2 on both devices and there are all sorts of bugs with typing and keyboard entry.

Yeah I've found a few different .apk of scrabble online , and was even able to install them , but the results were not too pleasant.
It was like the same screen but much smaller times 8 all over my screen.
Just wondering if it even runs on stock ROM without root

You dont need root to run apk applications.

[Q] Stock browser

Hello,
does someone knows where I can find the stock android Browser ? (not Chrome)
The one that is on most phones.
I tried to install the browser.apk from a ROM 2.3.6 of LG P920. But It won't install.
I'm on stock 4.2.2 no root

I found this thread with a quick search (which you should have done before posting). Try installing the .apk with a root explorer as suggested by the OP.
EDIT: Ironically I was the one who didn't read your post properly, sorry. Since you don't have root the above won't work.

Play store basically the same

Doesn't work. I can install, but It force close at launch.

I think It will be one reason to flash another ROM...

If anyone needs help with this new update and rooting and 2nd bootloader stuff still, this is how I did it:
Use kindle fire first aide (available here on xda) to reset your device to stock Amazon 7.2.3. Obviously backup whatever you don't want to lose first with your preferred backup method. Make sure to also disable ota updates also before you proceed.
Once you're back to (pre rooted!) Stock, sideload the fireflash.apk (do a search on xda to find the app) use the directions on that thread to get yourself setup with a 2nd bootloader and twrp recovery in like two clicks of an app. If you can't find the thread, just let me know and I'll provide links. Just MAKE SURE you flash the 7.2.3 bootloader
That fireflash comes with before you flash the new boot.img and twrp recovery. It's such an easy method, and you can find all the tools you need via searching xda for fire flash, followed by hashcode's 2nd bootloader thread. 7.3.0 freedom boot (nevermind that your bootloader won't match, it should be 7.2.3 and freedom boot should be 7.3.0, and twrp 2.4.4.0. Make sure all your boxes are checked, flash the files AFTER YOU FLASH THE 7.2.3 BOOTLOADER!! And you should be all set. From there you can even flash newer Amazon updates if you like via twrp. feel free to contact me with any questions, and major shout outs to the devs who made these apps and programs available to us.
P.S make sure you read the instructions for fireflash.apk on its page so you're familiar. This way always works for me to get around anything Amazon, but you do of course run risks when altering stock software. I highly recommend buying a fast-boot(factory) cable just to make sure you can always restore stock using KFFA if something goes wrong. I got mine from xda member SkOrPn, and I fully suggest if you don't own one get one first. Better safe than stuck waiting 3 days on a cable to save you!
Sent from my cm10.1 KFHD

see my previous post
Here are all the files.actually steps: KFFA to revert to 7.2.3, sideload fireflash and get it opened. You will see a red warning message that you have the wrong bootloader. Flash the one they offer. Reboot kindle (I do, May not be necessary). Load the other files onto your kindle, freedom boot and twrp. Open fireflash again, and match up boot.img and twrp where they obviously go in fireflash, flash the files, and boot into recovery :good: good luck! Hope this helps anyone in that boat

Whenever I attempt to restore the update to a previous version in KFFAide the command window stays at "daemon started successfully" and does not progress beyond that point. Any advice? This happens for any option I choose in KFFAide.

I actually have not tried updating KFFA since I installed it originally, so I can't say what the problem might be. I suggest posting on the first aide thread with your question, and looking for similar posts with solutions over there. The community on here is wonderful, and I'm sure you can find a fix on there it you try

Can anyone explain why all mine and my wifes Nexus 4/7 devices seem to get updates a week or so after many of our friends devices.
We have had google accounts longer than most and I can only presume it is some kind of account based thing.
Very annoying.

I've got 2 nexus 4s, and a nexus 7.
No update yet.
I'm in the UK.

Historically it seems to be some sort of randomly assigned token. Ive been passed over but do the google services framework 10 times or so and get it within minutes.
FYI though, dont do that services framework if you are on a device registered on an apps domain with policies. It blows away tokens for authentication and you get errors and have to re-activate your device before it will start syncing again.

Google sends them out in waves. It doesn't matter if you have an account longer than most. When it reaches you, it reaches you.

Just download the OTA file and flash it via sideload in stock recovery. That or flash the factory image. Simples!

+1 to the user above me. I also just sideloaded the OTA and boom got the 4.3 in a flash using
adb sideload update.zip

Stupid question time, but I can't download the ota to my phone and flash it through stock recovery that way, can I? Like how I was able to with a custom recovery on my last rooted phone. Or do I have to flash it through my computer?

Yep, stock recovery has the 'adb sideload' option so you just flash using that as you would using CWM
1. Boot phone into recovery
2. Connect to PC
3. Make sure adb sees it
4. adb sideload update.zip (or whatever you called the OTA file)
5. Follow instructions
