It may have something to do with the adb win.inf file. I'm on windows 8 also

Download the SDK, unzip, navigate to your-sdk-folder/platform-tools/ with the terminal.
Type:
./adb reboot bootloader
./fastboot oem unlock
Done

what is the EXACT command you are putting in?
this really isnt that hard.
Fastboot flash recovery path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img
I also tried moving the file to the c: drive and put it as fastboot flash recovery c:/CWM-grouper-recovery.IMG I'm going by the guide on unlock and root a nexus 7 thread

If your using windows use a toolkit. By the way, before you ask a question on here search online all you can and use this as a last resort.

I can't use a toolkit none supports android 4.2.2

If you have to rely on a toolkit, you shouldnt be modding ANY device.
Then guide doesn't say that tho I'm using the [[REF]] all in one nexus 7 jelly bean android development thread then go down to guides and tools click on unlock and root a nexus 7 I'm using that guide

really?
path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img really doesnt make you wonder where that file is?
put the recovery.img file in the same folder as your fastboot.exe
run the command
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img <<this should be the ACTUAL name of the recovery filled in by you, whatever it is named.
ALSO
remember earlier when i told you to update the adb and fastboot files? (SDK) did you actually do that?
this stuff isnt rocket science, and if you dont have basic computer knowledge, you shouldnt be doing ANY modding of your device....this is ridiculous

Can't boot into recovery

I'm running Slim kat 4.4 ROM and everything is fine with the actual ROM but I've no idea what has happened because I cannot boot into TWRP or CWM via ROM manager, uninstalled and reinstalled ROM manager but no luck, it just stays at the Google screen and I have to hold power button and volume down button to restart, tried to boot into recovery that way but again it just stays at the Google screen.
What could possibly be wrong here as It was fine last week and I dont recall flashing anything else.

Anyone have any ideas asides from having to perform a factory reset

Ya it sounds like you need to flash recovery again
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks but how can I do that, can I use flashify, and can someone kindly point me to the link I need to flash.
I've no idea how this happened, is it something to do with android 4.4,ROM manager usually works fine and I nearly always use TWRP.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
So after much searching I managed to finally get it sorted.
Download the latest TWRP image and upload it to Dropbox and flash it with the flashify app and it booted into TWRP and just restarted.
Phew that's a relief

Just use the "recovery tools" app from Google play.

Stuck on bootloader. Please help.

I try to unlock the bootloader and install at the same time 6.0 and now I'm stuck.
I did it on a Mac running Capitan with a tutorial from YouTube.
When I do the ./adb devices (enter)
List of devices attached

And my mac's info for the next line in terminal
Any help is appreciated.
