Cannot get to CWM

Greetings,
I have successfully unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7. Now I'm attempting to flash CWM to the device, and it seems to have successfully gone, however I can't seem to boot to it. I've used the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit V2 which says it successfully flashed it, but still am unable to boot into cwm.
After shutting down the device I hold the up + down + power buttons down and all it does is boots into fastboot mode. If I let go of the buttons when I see the google image then the device just boots normally. Can anyone clarify what I'm doing wrong here? Cheers.

From fastboot, if you hook up your nexus to the computer, with the cable included then select 'recovery' by toggling thru the choices with volume and using the power button to select, it should boot into cwm. It only boots when connected to a computer, it's a known bug Next time do a forum search, dont start a new thread.

Nexus 7 hard bricked?!

hey
i got my new nexus 7 and wanted to flash a new rom, so i just downloaded this and the flashing tool from this thread.
i didnt root/unlock bootloader or anything else, i just used the tool and did all the steps.
Boot into fastboot,
Wipe my Data,
Install Recovery + Kernel Ability
there were some more steps, but after this my nexus didnt do anything (maybe because of the missing root or the not unlocked bootloader or whatever?!)
it just was stuck in the mode with the android laying on the floor and giving error codes.
so i thought i softbricked it and googled some tutorials to restore a stock rom.
i foundthis and it seemed to work, but it was a bit outdated
i didnt get a .zip from the developers.google.com page, just a .tar, so i couldnt do
Code:
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jro03d.zip
i just shut down the device then and thought it could maybe already work, because i updated/replaced the bootloader or something like this with
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
but after rebooting it just shows me a completly black screen with a white "Google" in the middle and an open lock on the bottom.
it isnt responding to anything im doing, like pressing on/volume-buttons or connecting usb
the computer cant dedect it via adb with
Code:
fastboot devices
....
what can i do now? do i have to wait, until the battery is dead? this can take days...
i know i did something really stupid
is there any way to restore my nexus 7?
please excuse my bad english and please help me
thank you very much

Hold Power and both volume buttons until it goes off, then power it on while holding both volume buttons. When you see the android, Open Fast boot or a Nexus 7 tool and flash a stock image. You can get them from the Google Dev site. Hope this helps.

thanks for your help.
when i press power and both volume buttons the screen goes black after a few seconds, but it immediately reboots

Keep holding to volume buttons the entire time. It should go into the boot loader.

ok, thank you, it did. im too impatient :laugh:
i connected it and it was dedected, thank your very much
i went to developers[dot]google[dot]com/android/nexus/images, is this the right google dev site?
i already downloaded this file and i only got a .tar when extracting it, but it seems like i need a .img

You could try and use the nexus toolkit. I haven't tried it, but it should be able to download and flash a stock img to your device from the bootloader.
Good Luck

Just start again, sometimes it messes up, but you generally just start again with flashing the clockworkmod. Make sure the download wasnt corrupted by doanloading everything again though, although ignore the bit about adb rboot bootloader, you need to start the phone manually by use power + volume-down key combination to get into bootloader when its powered off and continue from point 5.

Thanks, I will give that a try

Relac, its actually pretty hard to completely bust these things. Dont quote me on that though lol

Don't freak out. I'm sure you're fine.
Unlocking the bootloader on my N10 caused me to hang at the X. Wiping data fixed it for me. Try the following:
1. Reboot into Fast Boot
2. Select Recovery using volume rocker. Hit power to select. You'll get the android mascot with the red exclamation point.
4. Press Power and Volume Up at the same time.
5. Choose to wipe all data. Confirm the selection.
6. Reboot.

So I didn't originally flash the recovery image, just booted into it. So I tried that again, but there is nowhere to find the SU_BusyBox_Pack.zip. I tried the sideload method, but ADB can't find my device any more. It shows nothing when I do adb devices.
what else can I try ?

Were you able to try wiping data through the stock recovery?

I got stuck after just booting into recovery as well and immediately exit. Just use the volume key and change it until you see recovery, without going into it, I just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from pc, then factory reset.

Nexus 10 stuck in bootloop "X"

hello
after i try to unlock the bootloader my nexus stuck in "X" (with toolkit 2.0)
and the recovery mod is not work (Attachments)

I had the same problem when unlocking mine, reboot into fast boot and use the volume buttons to change the select option to recover and hit power, you should get a picture of an android with a red triangle that's normal , then try a couple times to hit the power and both volume buttons to boot into the stock recovery and then do a full wipe and factory reset (wipe both cache and dalvik cache just yo be safe) you may have to do this more then once, I did but it fixed the problem

Just get back into recovery and factory reset. This is a common issue when unlocking bootloader.

Please help as I seem to have placed my Nexus 10 into a Bootloop state through Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.8 by WugFresh. I have been attempting to enter into Recovery following the steps outlined here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239524). However, the tablet never seems to enter Recovery mode. At best I get a blank screen that eventually comes around to an unusable Bootloader. By unusable, I mean the volume buttons do not progress through the options. If select Recovery on a functional Bootloader and simply press the Power button. The tablet will cycle through to an Android with the red symbol.
Now the Toolkit no longer even see's my device even though Win 8 Device Manager shows the Android Bootloader Interface. There are no devices listed with the exclamation point warning symbol.
This is only my third attempt at Unlocking and Rooting a device. The first two times were successful on an HTC phone and a Samsung Tab 7". I do not know where to go from here and really need help fixing my Nexus 10.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Edit: I figured out how to access Recovery. I needed to use power + volume up once on the screen with the Android avatar and red symbol.

Before discovering how to enter Recovery properly, I did end up flashing to stock. Unfortunately, I am unable to get ADB to recognize my Nexus 10 using Wug's scripts, even though the ADB installer see's the unit. I believe this is a Windows 8 issue, but I am not 100% positive. That said, I did further research and found another method using the Fastboot command line which did work. My Nexus 10 is now unlocked and rooted. I wish I had kept the thread's URL to the other method.
I wonder if my issue's come from not uninstalling the Samsung G3 through device manager as I did my Nexus 10. I did uninstall though the USB app found within Wug's, but that may not have been enough. That is certainly something I shall try in the future.

[Q] help: nexus fast boot mode not visible; stuck in bootloop

Hi there,
Just bought a N10 and via nexus toolkit attempted to unlock it. That is all I have tried, as far as I know. It is now stuck in a bootloop. I have read as much as I can find about the need for a factory reset to continue. I tried to boot into fastboot mode to achieve this but like others my fastboot screen is NOT visible.
e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018777
simply unlocking did not give me the option, via nexus root tool kit, to add a custom recovery so the solution provided in the link above is no help. I have tired used nexus root tool kit to flash stock + unroot in case that wold help but its says the device is not connected.
Please help!

update:
following this
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2935993?hl=en
I can get as far as "You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point."
but then the instructions are less useful to the blind (at this point the screen is still blank)

If you have gotten this far (with the red exclamation mark) then you are only a step away from the Stock Recovery Mode. Press "Power" and "Vol Up" key at the same time.. and you will get to the Stock Recovery Mode. Also, I need to know if you used the "Power" and "Vol Up and Down" buttons to go the "bootloader" screen, OR you used the ADB commands to do that???
