Using the LG Google Nexus 4 ToolKit, I did the 1 click for all operation [unlock, root,rename,busybox, custom recovery twrp]. I'm rooted properly but I'm just not able to boot into recovery. I tried booting to fastboot, selection recovery with the volume rocker, then pressing the power key, but this just got me back to Android in a minute or so. I downloaded an app from the Play store which boots into recovery but it also boots me straight to android.
I tried separately flashing the recovery via the ToolKit but again I always boot straight to android. How do I fix this?

flash your recovery via fastboot. fastboot flash it, dont fastboot boot it. fastboot booting it only gives you a one time use. also, if you are using the stock rom, you have to delete the recovery-from-boot.p file so your custom recovery doesnt get overwritten by the stock 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

you need to be plugged in via the usb(not wall charger) to be able to boot into recovery via the bootloader. its a bootloader bug. this info has been repeated over and over and over..
Yeah put a custom ROM with the reboot to recovery option and that'll fix it since you need the combo

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.

Same thing with my phone. I flashed a custom recovery but cannot get into it. By pressing recovery mode from the bootloader, it just displays an android laying down with „!”.

I have the same problem with the stock recovery "no command". Is there a solution to the problem ....
Hi guys, I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed CWM from:http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, I've flashed and didn't get any errors, boot to Android and did "adb reboot recovery", I get in a screen with the android with a red triangle, stayed for some mins and nothing, I turned off and boot to Android, turned off again and turn on by Power + Vol -, Select Recovery and samething...
obs: I used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 and downloaded this SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
How can I boot to recovery?
Another thing does SuperSU v1.51 works on Android 4.3?
Thanks
The screen with just a red triangle is stock recovery. Press and hold power and press volume up and you should get the stock recovery menu.
Try flashing CWM from fastboot manually as it's not taking with ROM Manager (which I don't rate anyway)

Hi,
I can't boot into recovery using vol down+power but I can boot normally into OS and from there I can boot into recovery through ADB or third party apps.
I was trying to update my OP2 with new OxygenOS 3.0.2. As my device was rooted so I had to do it manually using TWRP. Till now I was able to boot into recovery by vol down+power.
Before flashing I wiped everything(dalvik+cache+system+data), rebooted into recovery and flashed the OOS3.0.2 full ROM. At this point the installation was successfull but I was not able to boot the OS, it was stuck on the loading screen. After several attempts to boot OS, I finally tried to boot into recovery to flash again, but I was unable to. When I press vol down+power for few sec, the phone switches off with a vibration.
Later I found out that I was supposed to use a modified TWRP. So I flashed the modified TWRP via fastboot and flashed the OOS3.0.2 full ROM again, Now I can boot into OS normally but still I cannot boot into recovery by vol down+power. But the interesting thing is that I can boot into recovery through ADB or third party apps.
I tried flashing the TWRP recovery again with no luck. I thought this could be a problem with boot.img which is contained in ROM itself so I also flashed the ROM again with no luck. Also I am absolutely sure that this is not a hardware issue with by volume buttons as I can use them properly when I boot into OS.
A quick thought, is it possible that the boot.img of the ROM itself is broken? Seems unlikely as I am not seeing anyone else having this issue. But if it is, is it ok to flash the boot.img from OOS2.x version ROM, will that be compatible? Just wanted to be sure before doing this.
Any other thoughts are welcome.
Are you used this command for flashing twrp??
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should add "flash", otherwise it won't install twrp in your mobile
yes I used that command only

After flash recovery use this command it will help to boot in twrp "fastboot boot recovery.img " without quotes
yes I know that, thats how I booted into recovery from fastboot for flashing the ROM. But I should be able to boot into recovery by vol down+power. That is why I posted this question.
Will you please send me screenshot of cmd?? after flash recover
