Cannot get to CWM

Greetings,
I have successfully unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7. Now I'm attempting to flash CWM to the device, and it seems to have successfully gone, however I can't seem to boot to it. I've used the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit V2 which says it successfully flashed it, but still am unable to boot into cwm.
After shutting down the device I hold the up + down + power buttons down and all it does is boots into fastboot mode. If I let go of the buttons when I see the google image then the device just boots normally. Can anyone clarify what I'm doing wrong here? Cheers.

From fastboot, if you hook up your nexus to the computer, with the cable included then select 'recovery' by toggling thru the choices with volume and using the power button to select, it should boot into cwm. It only boots when connected to a computer, it's a known bug Next time do a forum search, dont start a new thread.

(Solved!) Cannot boot into fastboot

I have tried at least 10 times with no results. I power down the device, hold both volume buttons and the power button, and nothing. I do get a vibrate after about 2 seconds, but nothing on the screen and then it vibrates every 6-7 seconds until I let go of the buttons. Kind of disappointed as I was all nice and comfortable on the couch, ready to use the Nexus 10 toolkit to do the all-in-one.

Anyone else experience this problem?

Try releasing then power button (but hold the other two) when you feel the first vibration. I've found that holding the power button can make a continuous reboot happen.

Tried that, but no luck. I also went a different route and tried to do it using mskip's toolkit in original android development. After installing the drivers and choosing the options to boot into fastboot, the device vibrated once and nothing showed up on the screen. BUT...when I refreshed the main menu the toolkit recognized the device as in fastboot mode. Really weird happenings with this, and starting to be concerned that my device has some issues. What point is a Google device if I can't unlock or root it?!

I've had the best luck holding the vol up/down button down first, then while that's down, pressing and holding power until the fastboot menu comes up.

Well, I am at a complete loss. Is this cause for replacement?

Hold all three buttons at the same time and wait for the vibration and release. It should work.

Ok, so, I'm not sure what to make of the recent events. Bottom line, I was booting to fastboot mode, but the screen was just blank. I followed the instructions via the toolkit just by selecting the buttons and hoping it was making the correct selections in fastboot mode. Now unlocked, rooted, and a happy man! Still not sure why the fastboot menu would not show up though.

I cant get the toolkit to recognize my tablet in fastboot mode. Is there a soluton to the black screen?

If the toolkit does not recognize the device in fastboot, then there's a good chance you didn't install the drivers correctly. Did you follow the directions correctly to get the toolkit to recognize the device?

I got my device unlocked and the device did install the drivers. However, the problem was not that. But here's the thing, my N10 never showed me the fastboot menu. But connected to the PC it does show its connected. I never saw the screen that confirms "do you want to unlock the bootleader" (it goes completely black and vibrates every 5 seconds).
Workaround to unlock: For anyone with this problem, I just had to "guess" that menu (I think its clicking the vol button down once and then the power button). For me it bootlooped. so I pressed the Vol+ and power and in fastboot I booted to stock recovery, from there just wipe factory settings, and voila.
Weird tho that my fastboot screen was completely black

This is exactly how I had to do it. It's a 50/50 shot, since I think the options are yes or no. Apparently the problem is a little more common, as evidenced by this thread I started in Android General, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018777

Reboot into boot loader, choose recovery, press all three buttons at top at same time if you don't have options to select, then factory reset. This will solve your boot loop.

In Case Of Emergency!

Hey,
I guess I should have looked before posting in panic..
Just made a new thread, but I will post it here as well!
So, I got my Nexus 10 today. Super nice tablet. I wanted to root it and unlock the bootloader - unlocking the bootloader went fine, and I managed to flash CWM recovery. However, I forgot the enable USB Debugging under developer tools before I started all this..
My question now, how do I get this thing to boot again? And what is the smartest move now to root it?
Thanks!

Did you get this fixed/ sorry for the late response Tapatalk unsubscribed me from my own thread.

This isnt an emergency. But pointless starting a new thread. Ive come from HTC so im new with the nexus series.
What would be the best way to:
Root, install CWM, install rom and kernel.
Ive seen a few different methods, but i just wondered whats the best most efficient way. Any opinions on a rom and kernel would be great to. Stable, smooth and customization aspects are the 3 main things, and wifi must work as i need it for work.
Before its attack the noob, im going out soon thats the only reason i have not researched properly.
thanks

This by far is the best method to unlocking and rooting it.

Also AOKP is stable 4.2.1 with lots of customizable options. But CM10.1 is good as well... Less options to customize though.

I would advise not using a toolkit unless you really must (kinda see little need for them on a Nexus device, but that's just me), but here's a brief rundown of what I do:
- Get Android SDK (not the ADT Eclipse Bundle thing; can use this though but it's like a 20MB vs 400MB download)
- Download USB Drivers and Platform Tools from SDK
- Add platform-tools Folder to Windows PATH (so I can run fastboot and adb commands from anywhere)
- Reboot N10 to Bootloader
- Connect it to PC and install ADB Bootloader driver (downloaded from SDK)
- Unlock Bootloader with fastboot oem unlock command
- Flash TWRP with fastboot command (CWM I guess works too, but I prefer TWRP)
- Reboot into Recovery
- Wipe everything (might have to format Data at first if coming straight from bootloader unlock and reboot to wipe everything else)
- Either transfer the custom ROM, Gapps, and (optional) Kernel zips to a flash drive and hook it to my N10, or adb push said zips to /sdcard
- Flash zips
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik from TWRP
- Reboot and profit
- If your going to install a custom ROM, you don't need to have an already rooted device prior to doing so (you can go straight from pure Stock to Custom)
- My preferred custom ROM is rasbeanjelly and my Kernel is franco.Kernel (rascarlo mentioned he might release an update later today for rasbeanjelly)
- I hear AOKP (and AOKP-based ROM's) has a problem with the navbar in Portrait mode (as in, it doesn't show). Just something to take note of if you use apps that force Portrait (like Google Wallet or Ingress for example)

Ohh I will probs do it that way then.
I already have fastboot and SDK installed on my laptop for my HTC can these be used or do I need specifics for the nexus 10? Obviously I'll need drivers for the n10 but is everything else the same as I already have.

How can I factory reset when I forgot my owner password?
Embarrassing situation...
I am the owner of a Nexus 10 that is set for multiple users. I got bored late the other night and changed my screen lock from a pattern to a password. It is now 3 days later I still can't recall the password. My wife does not employ a screen lock so I can still access her "side". Unfortunately, she is not the owner and therefore does not have "Factory Data Reset" as an option.
What are my options?

Factory Reset by going into the Bootloader.
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.

Under Development Tools make sure u have USB debugging checked and have the correct drivers installed in your computer so it recognizes the device.

Hi, i post here because didn't find any other post open and about this problem... Is about Bluetooth earphones. In have two, one sennheizer mm100 and another Philips shb7110/10. My nexus 10 didn't see any of them. I use to use them with my galaxy tab (P1000) and they work pretty well.
Any tip?
Thanks in advance.

Is it just
'adb push romname.zip'
Then
'adb push kernel.zip'

Hi everyone
My first post here. I have purchased the Nexus 10, great piece of kit but today it just froze and turned off. I can't turn it back on at all I have tried:
Holding power button for more than 30 seconds (up to 2 minutes)
Holding the power button and vol down
Holding the Power button + vol up and down at the same time
Whenever I connect a power cable to the table and press the power button I see the battery icon on the center of the screen. Does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks

[Q] Nexus 10 won't boot or fastboot after attempted unlock

I've unlocked/rooted/flashed many Android devices in the past, including many Nexus devices. I've run into some problems here and there, but I've always been able to get around them. This time seems to be different, so far anyway.
I started with the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit - I know how to do it manually but this just has everything included, the drivers, adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc.
I told it to unlock the tablet, and it rebooted the device into Fastboot. The tablet asked me if I wanted to unlock it and I said yes. Then, NRT booted me into TWRP and gave me instructions to do a factory reset from TWRP (a step I've never had to do manually before). I tried to factory reset but TWRP told me it failed. Weird. Anyway, I decided to reboot the device from TWRP and see what happened.
All I see is the swirly, colourful "X" logo forever. It never boots into Android. I can reboot by holding down the power button, and I can get into fastboot by holding down the power button with Vol-. In Fastboot, I only have the "start" option (which works, but never gets past the "X"). I can't use the volume keys to select "recovery", etc.
From Fastboot, my computer does not show the tablet under "fastboot devices" in the command prompt. It does, however, show my (working) nexus 4 in fastboot devices.
So, without working android, I can't use ADB. Without fastboot connecting with fastboot.exe, I can't push through recovery. Without a working fastboot menu on the physical device, I can't try to go into whatever recovery is there or whatever.
And worst of all, at this stage I can't even turn my device off. It's just sitting here either in the fastboot menu or with the colourful "X". It's just sitting in its original box getting warm and using up its battery.
Any ideas? This is supposed to be a present for my wife for tomorrow - I don't really want to give it to her like this.

Just used wug's kit to root my second nexus device. Both times, it said failed during the factory reset. Wierd.
Put it in bootloader mode by pressing BOTH volume keys and power. There you should see the arrows and you can go to recovery but you shouldn't have a recovery installed yet. Instead, use the wugkit to download and flash a system image, hit the flash stock + unroot button. I also had to do that on both devices for some reason. After it flashes, your bootloader will remain unlocked and you will have a clean, bootable 4.2.2 rom. Then you can root from there.

Sorry I may have misread. If you are already in fastboot mode and your having a problem with your computer recognizing it, check your device manager for an uninstalled item, either adb something or android something. Then just follow the instructions in the toolkit to install the drivers. But try the flash and unroot button first and see what the toolkit says.

Same thing happened to me but luckily I had found this video before I started the unlock, root process.
Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=T1Se7Hr9Cww
Seeing this guy missing getting the proper recovery menu really helped in understanding that it can be tricky.
I took the sage advise of others and did all the manual steps to unlock and root (no toolkit). The following link below is super whether your N10 is on Android 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 with instructions for Linux, OSx and Windows. Includes videos and pictures:

Hey mate, just wanted to say thanks. I don't know what is was that made the difference in the end, but your suggestion to use both Vol+ and Vol- together with power did the trick. I got it all working brilliantly now, thanks to you.
I'm still so confused. Why does Vol- and Power get into fastboot that doesn't work? I've never seen this behaviour on a Nexus device, or any Android device in general. It's wrapped up in a box ready to be given away in a few hours - but I will have a play with this fastboot because it's certainly weird. Definitely not like my Nexus 4 or 7.
Big thanks again. Hours of pulling my hair out and you saved me!

I believe the reason is the volume buttons are reversed. So when you think your pressing vol- your really doing vol+ lol.. That's what I did. Vol+ + power = download mode and it won't do anything from your computer. J think its an Odin mode.
Also for future reference you cannot unlock, and then use TWRP to do a factory reset. You will get a cache error. The only way it works the first time is to unlock, wipe through stock recovery, flash twrp and boot to success. But have to complete 1 boot before changing your ROM.
I've gone through multiple N10's and each of them had this behavior, I think its a bootloader bug since unlocking the device is supposed to perform a factory reset automatically.

Nexus 10 stuck in bootloop "X"

hello
after i try to unlock the bootloader my nexus stuck in "X" (with toolkit 2.0)
and the recovery mod is not work (Attachments)

I had the same problem when unlocking mine, reboot into fast boot and use the volume buttons to change the select option to recover and hit power, you should get a picture of an android with a red triangle that's normal , then try a couple times to hit the power and both volume buttons to boot into the stock recovery and then do a full wipe and factory reset (wipe both cache and dalvik cache just yo be safe) you may have to do this more then once, I did but it fixed the problem

Just get back into recovery and factory reset. This is a common issue when unlocking bootloader.

Please help as I seem to have placed my Nexus 10 into a Bootloop state through Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.8 by WugFresh. I have been attempting to enter into Recovery following the steps outlined here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239524). However, the tablet never seems to enter Recovery mode. At best I get a blank screen that eventually comes around to an unusable Bootloader. By unusable, I mean the volume buttons do not progress through the options. If select Recovery on a functional Bootloader and simply press the Power button. The tablet will cycle through to an Android with the red symbol.
Now the Toolkit no longer even see's my device even though Win 8 Device Manager shows the Android Bootloader Interface. There are no devices listed with the exclamation point warning symbol.
This is only my third attempt at Unlocking and Rooting a device. The first two times were successful on an HTC phone and a Samsung Tab 7". I do not know where to go from here and really need help fixing my Nexus 10.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Edit: I figured out how to access Recovery. I needed to use power + volume up once on the screen with the Android avatar and red symbol.

Before discovering how to enter Recovery properly, I did end up flashing to stock. Unfortunately, I am unable to get ADB to recognize my Nexus 10 using Wug's scripts, even though the ADB installer see's the unit. I believe this is a Windows 8 issue, but I am not 100% positive. That said, I did further research and found another method using the Fastboot command line which did work. My Nexus 10 is now unlocked and rooted. I wish I had kept the thread's URL to the other method.
I wonder if my issue's come from not uninstalling the Samsung G3 through device manager as I did my Nexus 10. I did uninstall though the USB app found within Wug's, but that may not have been enough. That is certainly something I shall try in the future.
