I'm on 4.1.2 stock and wanted to update to 4.2, however I can't get to the recovery. First attempts: Turn n7 off, vol down + power, etc.., boot recovery: It then switches to the google logo (and this device is unlocked), screen flashes to black, google logo again, and it starts to boot normally. I've googled the problem found some things about needing a usb connected to a computer tried it didn't work, tried using a app to boot to recovery, didn't work. I used a toolkit to flash twrp recovery (and tired cwm later on), tried to boot into recovery again both manually and with a app, same thing happened.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
The booting into recovery bug should be fixed in 4.1.2. Have you tried booting into the bootloader by holding both volume up and down and the power button at the same time when the phone is off? From there you can use the volume button to scroll to recovery and select it with the power button. If that doesn't work then you may have other issues. The custom recoveries may not have flashed with the toolkit or may have been over written on a reboot with stock recovery. You might try flashing twrp using fastboot and rename the recovery-from-boot file. http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
I am having the same issue.
First noticed something was wrong when Android asked me to update to 4.2 (OTA). I allowed the update and the device rebooted, only to come back in 4.1.2 without any sign of the update. Then I tried to do the update manually, but I can't seem to enter recovery mode in any way.
Things I tried:
* Boot while holding volume up + volume down -> Select Recovery Mode
* Boot while holding volume up + volume down and connected to a PC -> Select Recovery Mode
* Use Quick Boot to enter Recovery Mode
* Use Rom Manager to enter Recovery Mode
* Flash ClockworkMod Recovery through Rom Manager
* Flash ClockworkMod Touch through Rom Manager
* Flash TWRP Touch Recovery through Google Nexus 7 Toolkit
Each time I try to enter the Recovey Mode it will: Show the Google logo and the open padlock symbol for a few seconds -> Screen turns off -> Google logo and the open padlock symbol again -> Nexus logo -> Booted in normal mode. Seems like something errors when attempting to enter Recovery Mode and then it just boots normally.
I attempted the method on http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/103. Booting while holding down volume down will boot to FASTBOOT MODE, but the secreen does not say FASTBOOT USB when connecting it to a PC. I have the USB drivers from Google Nexus 7 Toolkit installed, do I need other drivers?
EDIT: So I finally got a custom recovery installed by doing a "fastboot flash recovery" of the latest TWRP (2.3.1.1) from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
Neither of the current CWM recoveries (6.0.1.0) would work for me.
You are not alone. Same thing has happened to me. I manually flashed the 4.2 OTA zip yesterday from CWM and while that went fine, I have been unable to re-install a custom recovery ever since. I tried flashing CWM and TWRP from toolkit multiple times. I also did a manual fastboot flash of a newly download CWM but I am getting the same results as you. Nexus 7 will not boot into a custom recovery no matter what.
On the plus side, 4.2 is working well..... Would really like to get root back though.

That actually does work, but I just didn't have any idea what I was doing first. Got it to work now.
If you are like me:...
* Before you go into fastboot/bootloader, get CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip and place it on your sdcard.
* Go to http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
* Download openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-grouper.img
* Put it in the 'put_img_files_to_flash_here' folder of Google Nexus 7 Toolkit
* Boot while holding volume up + volume down and connected to a PC
* Start Google Nexus 7 Toolkit
* Select option 11
* Type the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-grouper.img filename
* Once it is done pushing the file to the phone, boot from it
* You can now install CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip to get root on 4.2

It will be of no use to you, but may encourage others I suppose. One of your options above helped me. I managed to get the CWM recovery working by reinstalling it via Rom Manager, then dropping into Recovery via Quickboot (I know it's worked before so didn't try the Rom Manager route). Then I flashed 4.2 via the CWM recovery.

So I was rooted with Clockword recovery. I just updated rom manager to 3.0.0.0 and flashed the new recovery image with it. Through the UI, I tried to do a backup but when the phone restarted, it was stuck at the fastboot screen. I tried to manually go into Recovery, but the screen goes black -> google -> fastboot. Tried to turn it off and hold volume ^ + power = fastboot but still can't get into recovery.
Advice?

As long as you can still get into fastboot you should be recoverable. Head over the development section and grab a copy of the CWM 2 recovery image and try re-flashing it. That should at least put you back to where you can get into Recovery.
You could also try the stock recovery image in one of the threads there, but I've seen reports that it doesn't boot either.
Here's the thread for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
And here's the actual link from the first post: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-herring.img
Hi there,
I wanted to install latest CM10.1 coming from 0526 yesterday on my Defy+.
Did a backup with TWRP first.
Then the flashing failed, so I wanted to recover from backup.
Phone now is stuck at Motorola M not booting anymore.
When I enter bootloader (vol down) and want to enter "custom recover" he just jumps back to the same menu. TWRP is not starting.
Choosing "stock recovery" is possible, but if I choose a CM10.1 zip file it's not accepted.
RSD Lite does not recognize the phone when it's in the bootloader menu or in the stock recover menu.
Help is very much appreciated, what can I do?
Thanks and best regards.

Okay, I found out why I couldn't enter flash mode by using Vol+ when starting.
The phone powered already up when I put in the battery, so I always pushed Vol+ too late.
Pressing Vol+ WHILE inserting the battery did the trick, phone went into flash mode and I could re-flash 2.3.6 sbf using RSD lite.

Still not sure why TWRP was messed up just by recovering from a TWRP-made backup...
Best regards
Same situation to me.
I opened Terminal Emulator, gained root access
then type below command to get recovery mode
# reboot recovery
Custom recovery not running
I have a similar issue.
I rooted my stock S4 and installed the proper TWRP.
Heres where my situation is a bit different from anything I have seen on the forum threads. All attempts—both hard and soft—to reboot into recovery, all direct the reboot to Odin Mode. Just to clarify I have not flashed any rom custom or stock, the only thing I have flashed has been TWRP and CWM recovery. And I only flashed CWM AFTER the Failings of TWRP.
When I attempt to boot into recovery, it flashes the blue characters then sends me into a Odin Mode loop until I hard-key the "download mode" and select restart to boot the os normally.
my phone works fine other than not being able to flash custom roms, which is a pain in the arse especially with all the s4 Bloatware.
Here's what I have done so far to help myself:
• install CWM recovery
• tried hard-key reboot recovery (power off/ press home/volume up/power)
• soft reboot recovery through both Goo, CWM and ROM Toolbox pro
• removed my sd card and tried reboot recovery
• removed battery and reboot recovery
• emulator reboot recovery
• reboot recovery both with and without usb cable
I looked into flashing stock with Odin but all tutorials i could find were of an older version and I didnt want to guess what I needed to get that to work,
Please let me know if theres anything I can do.

Got a N7 2012 runing 5.1 - finally got fed up with it being so slow as almost unuseable so decided to install CM12 ... and am stuck in a boot loop.
I followed the instructions I found (I cant post the link) so I've listed them below:
Deploy ROM image
adb devices
adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
cd Download
#or whenever you have downloaded files
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
Choose Recovery
Now use your volume buttons to change selected item from the Menu and pick "Recovery mode"*and select it with Power button.
Right now ClockworkMod recovery should start!
Now with the same buttons navigate in recovery and select:
1. backup and restore
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. install zip from sdcard
4. choose zip from sdcard (you should find it in folder named "0", not in the root of sdcard!)
5. reboot system now
Cyanogen Mod should be installed!
did a full wipe at fastboot oem unlock .. then realised i'd have to re-push the ROM as I don't have an sdcard ... so I did that.
Managed to flash TWERP onto it (rather than CW) and got it to boot into Recovery Mode but ... the Recovery Mode and Restart Bootloader are in RED and don't do anything when I tap them.
When I try to power off and back on it gets stuck in the boot loop...
Google screen show with a padlock at the bottom, goes away and then shows up again
Teamwin logo shows up
says 'Running OpenRecovery script'
things then happen too quicly for me to track but it seems there are a list of red error messages like:
E: unable to mount data and could not find crypt footer
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and the device doesnt appear i the list when I type
adb devices
fastboot devices
Can anyone tell me what to do to get CM12 on the m/c and working???
btw, managed to break out of the bootloop but it will just start again when turned off and on.
Thanks in advance.
From what you said, you're not in recovery mode. You're in bootloader mode.
In bootloader mode device doesn't support touchscreen, you need to use volume up/down and power to select option.
To get out of bootloop and go to recovery:
1. Power down your device (hold power for few seconds)
2. Boot into recovery mode (hold Volume Down + Power)
3. Navigate to recovery (Using Vol up/down and selecting option by pressing power button)
lost my twrp after installing bootloader changer and then installing kk bootloader(for cloudy 3.3). (accidently marked install twrp inside the bootloader installation after already having the latest twrp installed)
phone restarts right after logo appears and seems to be unable to boot at all.
no download mode. no recovery. not even hardware factory reset is accessible.
im really lost here ! read all xda posts nothing works because i cant connect to
the phone from any pc. please help! i cant flash anything because i have no adb or any connection from the phone to the pc.
wont show up in device manager in any way(with the latest drivers installed) and wont show up on linux on /dev/sd*.
before the bootloader i had access to twrp and showed up just fine on my win 7.
problem solved!
was able to enter recovery mode by pressing pwr + vol-up release when logo appears and press vol-up + vol-down.
Hello All
I have problem with my Axon7 G. I had 8.00 version installed and tried to make a system write option with using a method mentioned in

1. After restart i had a standard warning about unlocked bootloader with yellow fonts . After 5 sec yellow fonts changed into red and wrote my device is corrupt...
2 using vol down i can enter into bootloader mode - then i can choose option like fastboot, recovery,restart and power off.
- pressing recovery and restrt , phone restart and again boot into bootloader mode with option above (cant get into twrp or stock recovery mode)
-pressing fastboot i can enter into this mode .
3 . Use fastboot mode to flash recovery and boot ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img)
everything seems ok but...nothing changed , i cant boot into recovery -twrp or stock. Still go back after restart to bootloader menu
4. edl mode.....i can`t enter . Use vol + and vol- and power button then after 3 sec phone went black screen with red light upper left. Applications cant recognize phone in this mode...
somene can help me ???
I also get the warning but I can just continue with the boot. I can't access recovery however. Don't know hot to fix that.

did you manage to get the error message away?
I got it recently after installing LOS 15.1, but for me everything works fine .
I'm just afraid if the device randomly reboots at night my alarm won't go off in the morning since it's the device is shutting itself down after the 30 second warning.
If you've fixed this can you please detail me through the steps.
