I have the issue where I can't get into recovery using the volume down plus power button. It just sits at the Google logo after I select recovery in the bootloader. If I use an app like goo manager it works and if I use the option built into the power menu in my current rom it works.
Is there a fix for this that is easier than putting everything back to stock and doing root and everything all over again? Like is there a fix that can be flashed in recovery? I have seen one post where someone said to flash a new bootloader but I don't really see any threads with flashable bootloaders.
You either need to update your boot loader or plug it into a computer while you press the power and volume buttons.
Here's the newest boot loader that's flash able from recovery.

I updated to 6.0.1.0 with Rom Manager (not touch). I can get into recovery via rom manager but not when booting. When I boot I hold down volume button and power on. Recovery is an option but when I choose it and press power button the Nexus just hangs and never goes into recovery. I end up holding down power button to reboot. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
no way yet from bootloader to CWM unless you plug the tab to a pc and execute fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
From android OS, use ROM manager app as you already mentioned.

Thank you for reply. Very odd. I wonder if this will be resolved somehow. Does anyone run the touch version of CWM on the Nexus 7 and does it work normally from boot (without being plugged in)?

It's a problem with the bootloader, not CWM. Touch is no different, unfortunately.
Most custom ROMs have 'reboot to bootloader' built into the power menu, so no cables are needed
This happened to me as well, it was after i flashed a Tablet UI patch in cwm and it somehow deleted my boot options to reboot into recovery, rom manager will not allow me to reboot into recovery or any other options through the app on CleanRom rom * must do it through Rom boot options >.<
Power + Volume Up and Down just takes me to "FastBoot" or whatever you call it. I have my device rooted, bootloader unlocked, and CWM is flashed (I did all this through Nexus 7 Toolkit, it said it was successful.)
How do you boot into ClockWorkRecovery?
Thank you
EDIT: When I try to boot into recovery via the CWM App, it just takes me to "dead Android" with a warning sign.
You need to flash recovery again it sounds like.

iirc there is a bug in the bootloader regarding recovery
You need to be connected to a computer in order to boot to recovery from bootloader
Alright guys this is pretty frustrating and scaring me completely.
I unlocked the bootloader no problem. Then I wanted to flash TWRP recovery by typing in this command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img" so I could root.
Then when I rebooted into bootloader mode and selected recovery I got the Android laying down with the red triangle exclamation mark.
So I downloaded the Nexus 4's factory image and re-flashed the stock recovery by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and the same thing happens.
I even tried booting into stock recovery by typing fastboot boot recovery recovery.img and the same thing.
Any help will be appreciated and its urgent lol.
EDIT: FIXED! Forgot to type in fastboot erase cache after flashing TWRP. Not sure if it was required but I did and all is well now.
Thanks again guys
Thanks
Edit: Another issue - I installed CWM SuperSu v0.98 via TWRP and I hit reboot. Now I see the Google logo for a while. Then the Nexus logo. It doesn't boot into the actual phone. Still stuck on the Nexus logo. Any takes folks?
The android laying down with the red triangle is the stock recovery. You usually press volume up when on that screen to get stock recovery options.

Ya but even before when I flashed TWRP, I couldn't even get to TWRP. I went to the bootloader mode. Pressed the vol keys till I got to Recovery.Then I pressed the power button to select it and that's when I got the red triangle with the Android laying down both on stock and TWRP recoveries even when booting into the recovery vs flashing.

Hmm sounds like the same boot loader problem I had with the nexus 7 and it was fixed with the 4.1.2 update
Try flashing cwm recovery I normally don't use TWRP because I never really liked it too much but see if that works.
Okay so I was able to boot temporarily into TWRP by typing fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img. Now I'll see if I can flash it... and try booting into recovery mode.People on the Nexus 4 Dev threads and on the Paranoid Android threads recommended TWRP since it works properly with Android 4.2 vs CWM and they said TWRP is a step better.
Mods please lock thread. Thanks

Could you please be more specific on how did you fix it?
I've got my N4 maybe a month ago, I installed the 4.2.2 OTA as soon as I got it, the I proceeded to unlock it and root it, one day someone recommended to clear the cache of the phone using the stock recovery (which I thought I had / to fix another problem that I was having) I went to fastboot and tried to access recovery, BOOM, just an android laying down with a red exclamation mark, no "no command" error at all. I downloaded CWM touch and flashed it using Nexus Root Toolkit, that worked fine, but I didn't want a custom recovery and also I needed to fix a 3G latency problem that I was having, after some reading I saw that someone recommended a full flash using the stock google image.
A couple of days I proceeded to flash the factory image, I installed it, after that I did a factory reset from android itself. After doing all that I wanted to clear the cache with the stock recovery just in case, BOOM, an an android laying down with a red exclamation mark and this time with a "no command" error. Tried the trick of holding the power and pressing the volume up, NOTHING HAPPENS!
Right now I am using CWM Touch.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.

I think you could try doing a factory reset from the recovery. If that doesn't work, try flashing the factory image using fastboot

Ok, this happened to me too. First, download the factory image for android 4.4.2 for mako here. Then flash it via fastboot. Then, instead of using a rootkit, unlock your bootloader using fastboot. Finally, download either TWRP or CWM and flash it via fastboot. I think you might want to reboot before flashing the custom recovery though.

Did you select recovery from fastboot menu, get the dead android, hold power button, press volume up button and you don't get any options? If this is the case, maybe you need to flash back to stock recovery too.
I would forget about rooting until you can boot into the ROM.

Try using fastboot to push the stock 4.4.2 image to your phone. Flash all 6 img files, either separately or via script.
I just rooted my Nexus using Wug's toolkit. When I got to the part after you unlock where you have to hold power and volume up to wipe the device, nothing happened and I got stuck in a bootloop. I fixed it by using the toolkit to revert to an OEM image, but even when it was stock, power and volume up does nothing. Am I missing the stock recovery?
Are you sure you're not hitting power down?
Holding volume up while powering on the device brings you to bootloader mode, from here you can get to recovery. Even if you had no recovery it would get you to bootloader mode. And if you had no bootloader the tablet would show zero signs of life whatsoever
So either you're not pressing keys correct or keys are broken
Also I would advice to stay away from toolkits, often these are far more trouble than they are worth, especially for nexus devices.
If you are able to boot to your stock os, which it sounds like you can, turn on USB debugging and open a terminal on PC
adb reboot bootloader
Get you to the same spot as the key press does

Hi,
I've tried every combination of key presses. I can get to the bootloader and select recovery, I get to the android with red exclamation point but volume + power up just reboots the tablet. Volume + power down gets me to the bootloader with just "Start" and "Downloading, do not turn off target". The tab is working fine with root applied, I just can't get to stock recovery.
Hi,
When the android with red exclamation mark appears you have to press Power and after some seconds (while holding power) you press volume up. If that doesn't do the work try flashing stock recovery again .

Thanks, but I tried that button press with no luck and even tried an app which claims to boot into recovery to no avail. It seems to be missing. I've also tried flashing stock recovery with wug's toolkit and it still seems to not be there. Not sure whether I should flash a custom recovery or whether that will mess things up further
I wouldn't use a toolkit, just use fastboot. And I would recommend a custom recovery such as twrp as it has far more options stock is okay too
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Now you can just boot to new recovery from bootloader or when in the os just use adb if you're having issues
adb reboot recovery
