So is fastboot the problem or are you trying to boot to recovery through the bootloader. I would use ADB instead of fastboot. But if what you're asking is that you want to boot to recovery from the bootloader, just connect your USB cable to your computer and then select recovery in the bootloader.

Pretty sure it is fastboot... You use the volume rocker to select recovery and hit the power button... It shows the Bootscreen but doesn't go any further than that.
Edit: it says in red FASTBOOT MODE.. When i select recovery it goes tot he google screen (witht he unlock icon) and doesn't go any further than that.

I'm having trouble too. I have it plugged in to my laptop. When I select "Recovery" and press Power, it just reboots, and then boots into Android.
No recovery.
So I'm gonna try TWRP..
i had the same issue this is what i did
download new recovery h**p://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/grouper/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1.4-grouper.img
then in fastboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
wait 15 seconds
unplug usb cable
then use volume keys to boot in to recovery
hope this helps
so any solution at the same screen, same problem.

You want to be in the bootloader mode and select recovery. The trick is that to do that, you have to have your Asus USB cable connected to a live usb port when you do it, and it usually works if recovery isn't damaged.
And you can also use Wug's toolkit on the computer, or if you can boot the tablet, you can use goo manager to reboot to recovery, or the Trinity kernel app, or your rom's advanced power menu.
With the USB cable attached from the computer to tablet, here's what I did:
- Went to bootloader
- Did "fastboot erase recovery"
- Did "fastboot flash recovery IMG"
- Then boot to recovery manually from the device itself via volume buttons and Power
Hasn't failed me yet when trying out different recoveries. There was some issue a while back where you had to have the USB cable hooked to your computer and Nexus 7 in order to get to recovery. Not sure if the bug still exists, but it may be worth trying with the cable in.
Also you probably have to have an unlocked bootloader (lock at bottom of Google boot screen).

Thanks for that.
That worked for me
Does the USB port you're plugged into need to be a computer with the fastboot drivers already installed? My unit freezes up in bootloader every time I plug in any live USB cable, whether it's a computer or not. My recovery is fine, but with the bootloader constantly freezing I'm not able to install the N7 drivers on my computer, let alone input any fastboot commands. And no, I don't have access to the computer with the drivers already installed sadly.

a stupid bug.buoght yesterday,rooted and unlocked.downloaded 10 roms,all kernels,and now that i'm ok to begin test i tried without luck to enter recovery from fastboot (i didn't know this fact)but my cable was inserted on pc usb port...and strange it doesn't work.yestrerday via fastboot i flashed twrp recovery that i love and use also on mine gnexs.i'm on stock rom yet,and without "reboot to recovery" option in powermenu.i reflashed twrp,cwm touch (in fastboot manually)then the same but with a rootkit,no luck.i began to think i have a problem in my device and i don't know how to do because it's a secondary bug for assistance i think..and i read this post.don't even tried commands in few posts ago,already did same things an hour ago.i installed quickboot frm playstore and now i can boot on TWRP.use this for today,when i begin to test roms i'll have the powermenu option!
Sad this,i'm a bit anxious of this bug,because i soft brick gnex every 2\3 days,always trying things and stuff,kernel with modifications by me etc,and i often have to go in cwm via devices off and fastboot before...i see that my tab attacched at pc don't enter recovery from fastboot mode..and it's a problem for me.hope someone discover where is this bug and find a workaround\fix fro that.
cheers

Paragraphs dude? Or at the very least, proper spacing.
On stock rooted rom, flash latest TWRP recovery. openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-grouper.img
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-grouper.img
Then install Rom Toolbox. Use the "Rebooter" to Reboot recovery, and you should have no issues.

I did this and I still can't boot into recovery. The only way I can boot into recovery is if I use the fastboot command. The rom toolbox does not work for me.
similar problem
I have somewhat similar problem. Well, actually the problem is not very uncommon the way it looks, but usual solutions do not work.
Basically I have erased my old rom (rebooted to recovery from aokp menu) and erased my rom. I've tried mounting the device from the recovery mode, but it was not recognised on my PC. I assumed that this was an Win8 issue.
Once I've rebooted, I could no logger boot to recovery (after selecting recovery all I got was google logo). I've thought of flashing recovery via fastboot, but bootloader seams to freeze with usb cable in (no matter the cable) and resetting does not help (the way it helped others). Also I cannot fastboot at that time either as PC (neither win8 nor win7 machine can see the device).
Any ideas would be appreciated.
When the bootloader freezes with the usb cable plugged into a PC, it is a driver issue. Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. I have experienced this on a win7 x64 system.
It isn't a driver issue as the same thing happens when connecting to a charger and not the PC.
It happens on mine as well.
Well it wouldn't crash with wall charger if it was a PC driver issue.
In either case, I've actually figured out what's the problem. It seems that usb connector is not very reliable. If the it usb connection is poor, the bootloader crashes. To avoid this issue you have to bend the cable towards the screen to ensure the proper connection. It load that way just fine.
Edit: or not... probably bending just removed the connection completely...
Edit2: did not figure out what was the problem, but after playing around some more, the phone has popped up in computer manager and I was able to continue from there. After flashing the recovery (twm -> cwm), the bootloader un-froze as well.
Hi Guys - I'm stuck and could sure use some help. I was flashing the Kaos Droid V3.7.3 rom (wipe cache, data, factory reset), went through the Aroma installer set up and when I tried to reboot system like usual, I keep ending up back in ClockworkMod Recovery Touch V6.0.1.0. Everytime I try to power off the device to get into "fastboot" mode, it doesn't work. The Nexus 7 toolkit doesn't see the device with trying to reflash factory image.
Seems like if I can just get into fastboot, maybe it'll work.
Or is there some other way to get into Odin and flash firmware? I'm really frustrated and clueless at this point. I've tried all the button combos for fastboot, just not working.
Please help.
Thanks,
Edit: I was able to get into fastboot, let's see what happens after trying to flash the stock image
Edit 2: Shew, I was really panicking there for a few. It's taken me 4+ Hours to figure out, I need Android-SDK to get Adb working and be able to reboot into fastboot and then the toolkit worked from that point.
I'm not new to clockwork recovery, and I have flashed many Roms on my Nexus 7........ today I did a full back up of my latest ROM and I downloaded the latest version of the bug less beast .....I let rom manager do the back up and flash......then there was an error flashing the new rom and an abort and a reboot.......no im stuck on the google screen with the little un-locked lock at the bottom of the screen......if I reboot and go into recovery it just goes back to the google screen and stays there.....any clue as what I should do ??
Search around the forums for solutions.
Use the Wugs toolkit to make your work easier.
It's not bricked its standard procedure you just need to plug it in

To manually enter recovery from the bootloader on devices prior to 4.1.2 (don't know if it was fixed. its a glitch from google in the bootloader) you must have the USB (OEM of course) connected to a USB port on the computer. Then you can boot to bootloader and use the volume buttons to enter recovery. It may take trying a few times, like connect to usb port before powering on, connect to USB port once you're in the bootloader, etc, but that's your only issue unless when you panicked you tried some other solutions.

dude, i'm told you what you need to do, i had erased manually my bootloader,recover,system,data and i was able to restore w/ what i told you it worked w/out any issues
Get fastboot. plug into your computer and do these:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img is whatever file you have for recovery. IMO, get the newest touch recovery from CWM and have it in the same directory as fastboot)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
From there, leave it PLUGGED IN and get back into recovery. Worked for me.
Ok, guys. I tried every option on every forum and none of them worked so here I am.
I unlocked and rooted my nexus 4 using the Wugfresh toolkit v 1.9.3. Everything worked perfectly until I tried to flash Cyanhacker ROM and kernel at the same time. I factory reset my phone before doing that (wiped dalvik/cache etc.). In TWRP, it said everything was successful, however I got stuck in a bootloop and when I tried to factory reset again, I accidently wiped my OS as well (i know... i am a retard:cyclops. Now I can only go in fastboot and TWRP.Now, I tried to use Wugfresh toolkit to Flash Stock + Unroot while being in fastboot, but it states that "Fastboot device was not found". Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
First of all check you have fastboot driver install for your Nexus 4.
After that, you can try to reboot again in bootloader and from fastboot command line write "fastboot devices".
If your device appear you can reimage your stock image.
If you could load TRWP recovery, from it you can use install from sideload to "reinstall" again the original or modify custom rom.
That's the problem, when I connect my phone to my PC, nothing happens. When i try to open device manager I dont see my phone or the Android ADB Interface.
it happened to me last week, use usbdeview (easily googled) to uninstall all your android related driver from it, don't forget to check the driver properties to delete the inf file also.
restart your pc and search then install universaladb driver (do some googley again) then try again. though last week my side here had to reinstall my xp from scratch to get mine working but i hope you aren't.
hia all! I need a big help! I was following the procedure toi get the root to the stock rom. First strage thing was my usb debuggig option under developer option was gray so not selectable. I decided to proceed anyway and I've unlocked the bootloader (with the proper command I've checked and it was unlocked). hte first strange thing was that i did't get the reboot after unlocking as reported in the guide. but i've rebooted manually and then I've installed TWRP and everything was ok; then I've proceeded with installing SUper SU to get the root permission and here came the problem; after installed the zip via TWRP, during the reboot I realize I was stuck in the boot logo the rotating square/traingle and circle. PANIC. I've tried almost everything, also trying a adb sideload flash with latest oxygen but seems not working...(maybe usb debugging not enalbe is the reason for all my problems?) what went wrong? and what do I have to do now? please help!

Find an OTG cable, place the full 2.0.2 OOS rom on a USB key, go to recovery and don't forget to mount USB-OTG then flash the rom...
I have bricked my OPO several times by tweaking it^^
So I keep an usb key with rom, Xposed, Ti backup etc... and if there is a problem, just plug your key, it's easier than using fastboot commands from a computer...
I'm currently waiting for my OTG cable for OPT especially for this use.
