Tried booting holding down the volume down button and power simultaneously and am able to select recovery mode but I just get a screen with the white Google name - recovery mode never starts (I have waited minutes) and I have to hold down the power button to get back to a normal startup. Also tried connecting to my PC via USB and booting holding down the power and the volume up and down buttons simultaneously. Then I get the belly-up Android and the Start selection but the volume keys don't change the selection and the power button does not cause a start - I have to power down by holding the power button in and restart normally. Any ideas?

You can use one of the root tool to reflash recovery mode if you don't know how to use ADB (which I don't really know.) You can flash CWM or TWKP or whatever it is. Then you should be able to do whatever you need to do. I have used the galaxy nexus tool kit v7.0.
Connect to pc
Shut down nexus 7
Hold volume down and power
At the next screen, press up until it says recovery mode
Press power
You then get the Android with red exclamation
Press power, hold it and then press volume up
This should give the recovery menu.

As I noted, I tried this and at the "At the next screen, press up until it says recovery mode" point, when I press the volume up button nothing happens, it stays with Start displayed (and pressing Power at that point has no effect - I have to press and hold Power for many seconds to force a shutdown).

You need to press volume up a few times, until you see Recovery.
This guide worked for me, so thanks AMoosa.

Yes, I said I tried that and pressing volume up has no effect - it stays at "Start" and even pressing Power at that point has no effect, I have to press and hold power to force a full shutdown.
Same problem here. A full stock re flash didn't help either.

Could you do anything more after rooting?
sikagoon7 said:
That is normal. If you press power and volume up you should get a recovery menu. It is pretty featureless so I assume you were expecting the likes of CWM or TWRP. These are custom recoveries that you need to download. To install them you need to unlock the bootloader and either manually flash them via fastboot or by using an application like goo manager or rommanager. Note that the application method requires root.

Manually load 4.1.2 --
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-nexus-7-android-412
One update - I could get to recovery using adb (adb reboot recovery) but once there adb could no longer see the Nexus (adb devices showed null). Have to try some more when I get home from work tonight.
Manual update to 4.1.2 is original reason for doing this but now I'd like to understand why I can't get to recovery mode the "standard" way.

You are getting in the standard way. Flash a custom recovery now to use it.

I meant through the menu selection on the Nexus itself, not through adb. And as I noted, once I got to the recovery screen, adb could no longer see the device.

Well, with 4.1.2 (OTA) I can now get to the recovery screen by using the simultaneous power + volume button pushes, no adb required.

Is that's what you were looking for? The side load menu? I thought you were saying recovery didn't work. Recovery has to work for you to even use the power volume up trick.

On the final set of workaround instructions, it says "4. Select Recovery using vol buttons and press power button" - I could not "Select Recovery" because at that point my Nexus would not respond to any button pushes.
Install latest nexus 7 bootloader from my dropbox.

This fixes the boot loader bug and now you can enter recovery from the bootloader screen.

Update the bootloader to 3.41. Make sure NOT TO DELETE THE BOOTLOADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot emphasize this enough!!!!!!!!!!! I bricked my first one this way.
Use fastboot flash bootloader C:\>>>>>>\bootloader-grouper-3.14.IMG
Do NOT erase bootloader before you flash the new one. And after you have flashed the new one type; fastboot reboot bootloader and check the bootloader version to make sure you succeeded.
Good luck!

Though a series of misadventures I now have the saem problem as the OP of this thread where i can no longer get myself into recovery mode.
I had just doen a full backup and flashed a new version of the kernel when this occurred. Please don't tll me to use my volume keys to select Recovery. As the OP said, the keys no longer work. Theydid once but no longer. My N7 is stuck on the picture of Andy belly-up with Start shown but I cannot scroll up or down nor hit the power key to Start.
I download the file from two posts up but not sure what to do from there. FYI, I was fairly familiar with the ins and outs of Andoird, ADB, etc a year ago when developing apps but I've since retired. DO I need to get the downloaded file onto my device in order to use ADB to perform the fastboot commands above? Could someone please enumerate the steps for me to give me a jumpstart?
Edit: Whew! I got a tip to use Mskips' nexus 7 toolkit and got back into recovery and restored my backup and all is well so far. Knock...knock

I have the same--or at least a very similar--problem. I was trying to flash it back to the factory default with Nexus 7 toolkit. In the middle of the process my computer froze and I was forced to reboot. Now when I try to enter recovery I get a tiny "booting failed" in the upper left corner of the screen and nothing more. I can't see my N7 with my computer via USB or adb. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?
Exacty what happens to me. Trying to manually upgrade to 4.2 without root. I have update.zip on my n7. Do I need usb to be plugged into pc? I tried it both ways... when usb was plugged in I got past the red explanation mark, with option to install from adb, but not from sd. If not connected, nothing past explanation mark.
Probably just wait for ota... don't want to mess anything up.

In Developer options, enable the Advanced Reboot.
The 3 button combo will work, it's just a matter of timing. Remove and replace the battery, hold vol up + home, then power, holding all three, and when it vibrates, let go of power only.
You could also hook up in USB Debugging mode and issue the command:
adb reboot recovery
And if you don't have a developer option go into about phone and tap build number 7 times.

Some people, including myself, cannot get it to work with the standard procedure...the solution is to basically do it twice. Here's a copy/paste of the instructions:
Long press the power button and choose "power off". Give your phone a few seconds to turn off completely. Once it's off, press and hold these 3 buttons at the same time: POWER+VOLUME UP+HOME. Look at the top left of the screen - as soon as you see little blue text saying entering recovery, let go of all buttons immediately...but be ready...if your phone vibrates (it might be trying to reboot normally again), press and hold those same buttons again until you see the blue text again...then let go immediately. Now you will see your recovery!

Cool
CWM recovery only requires you to push the volume up key and then press the power key until the phone vibrates and then let go of the power button only. When the blue lettering appears, let go of the volume up. The home button should only be required with TWRP.

Whatever the reason, that is not the case with my phone and many others. I've read several threads of people having the same issue. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the OUDHS CWM w/ auto-loki or what.
I've never heard of letting go of the power button only while still pressing volume up, but I gave it a try just to see...it did get me into CWM recovery but only after doing it twice, similar to the method I wrote above.
I have tried letting go of both volume up and power (no pressing home at all) and never found a way to get into recovery.
Anyways, it seems there's no harm in pressing the home button either way and it's probably easier than letting go of the power button and still holding volume up...and easier to explain too lol.

My minor issue is that when I boot to recovery (twrp) it get to the twrp splash screen then freeze. Takes me another reboot or two before recovery really launches.
Tried reinstalling recovery and fixing permission, etc.. but same deal. Anyone have thoughts on this?
I boot into recovery all the time but I have to hold volume up and home button.
Bump!
I'm having the same issue. What I did was that I had the CWM recovery installed and tried to reset the flash counter. Now the phone won't boot into the recovery, it just boots up as usual when I press vol up+home+power up. I appreciate any help! :/

Can you get the blue text in the upper left corner of the screen to appear at any time?
In my case, trying to get into recovery via the 3 buttons is a matter of very precise timing if I try pressing all 3 buttons at the same time. The instant I see the blue text I let go of everything and it works. Hold it for even a fraction of a second longer and the blue disappears and it goes into a normal boot. It works much better if I press Vol Up, then add Power, then add Home. I'm doing that sequence fairly quickly but the point is I'm not trying to press 3 buttons at the exact same time.
But I'm using CWM so I don't need the 3rd button...
From a powered-down state I hold Vol Up then Power and hold both through the vibration until the blue text appears and it goes into CWM recovery just fine. There seems to be a bit more leeway in terms of how fast you need to let go this way although I just tested and holding about a half second too long caused it to bounce out of recovery and do a normal boot. Let go immediately when you see the blue.
Phone won't boot..
So after using CASUAL, my phone rebooted, and got stuck on the splash screen with RECOVERY BOOTING.. in the top left corner. I pull the battery, try to do a normal reboot; takes me to the same screen. Trying the 3 button combo for recovery; same thing. Any suggestions?? I am NOT on MF3 Firmware.
**EDIT** Should have looked into it more before posting, but Found my solution returning to STOCK

If you are rooted, Titanium Backup, Goo Manager, Power Reboot...These are all applications in the Play Store. As far as using the buttons, I am sure they have worked out the issues using the hardware buttons, but I don't do it that way. Hope this helped!!
For TWRP press and hold the power and volume down button. When the LG logo pops up let go for a second and press the combo again. You'll be prompted to press the power button 3 times to wipe the device. Then It'll boot into TWRP without wiping.

That's weird. Can you install the Android SDK or ADT and get adb.
Then plug your S4 to the computer (I assume the drivers are installed?) and open up cmd. Set adb to your path variables or just browse over to the adb where you installed your SDK and run
Code:
adb devices
to see list of devices and check if yours is there. Then type
Code:
adb reboot download
Let me know if that works.

Well if CWM works, and you flashed a stock ROM using Odin, does the issue persist? If so, it could be a hardware issue then.
EDIT: Although the issue in the OP seems to be solved partially no? Can you boot normally to your ROM? Can you boot to recovery (vol-up + power)? Download mode (vol-down + power)? Anyone of them through adb?

You're supposed to press vol-down and power. Not menu. I guess that's a typo?
Anyway, if it doesn't work in those ways, I'm not sure what's left besides taking it to the shop and getting it replaced.
Does adb devices detect the phone as online? If so, you can try this toolkit and maybe that boots you to download mode?

No its not. You push in down volume, home(menu) and power button for ODIN and up volume, Home(menu) and power for recovery. Have NEVER got into download or recovery by holding volume up\down and power. Not since my Gtab 7" 1st edition....

What. That is totally weird. You are right but I can get into both recovery and download mode without touching the home button.
@spongerob500: Try what ultramag69 suggested with Menu button. Sorry about the wrong info in that regard, but on my phone I don't press the Menu/Home button.
EDIT: Sorry @ultramag69, it seems that both methods work. So no need to hold the Home button!

What. That is totally weird. You are right but I can get into both recovery and download mode without touching the home button.
@spongerob500: Try what ultramag69 suggested with Menu button. Sorry about the wrong info in that regard, but on my phone I don't press the Menu/Home button.

When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.
Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.

No with no rom it will probably just sit on the LG logo or something
Have you tried this?

Might be your only option then
Has adb ever seen your device before? seems weird thats its not being detected in recovery

i had to get ADB on my device to root and put CM there in the first place, not sure why its not working now... maybe because USB debug isnt checked? i have no clue.
all i need are drivers right? is there a good link for re-setting that up

my adb works fine even with no rom
maybe try to reinstall the usb drivers and replug the phone
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-D801 scroll down and download... the driver should work fine even though its d801
try putting a rom on a usb stick and then in recovery install from usb? not sure whether that would work but its worth a try
i installed those drivers but its not recognizing device in adb
