You should be able to use fastboot to flash a recovery img or use a toolkit.

Did you remember to change the recovery-from-boot.p file after you did the 4.1.2 update?

Yes after I update to 4.1.2 OTA those problems came
And now I managed to reboot to CWM by wug's toolkit but I can't enter to recovery from the bootloader

This is a problem many Nexus 7 owners are experiencing since the 4.1.2 update, whether by OTA or flashed from sd card. There apparently is an issue with the bootloader (version 3.43). One solution that I have seen on t his forum and on another is to flash the last version of bootloader (3.31 I think). I have tried every conceivable method to get into either stock recovery or custom recovery to no avail...flash, 2 different toolkits, ROM Manager, TWRP...you name it, I've tried it to no avail. I have not tried to flash back to the old bootloader though...just doesn't sound like a good idea...although I have not heard of problems being encountered by those who have flashed the old bootloader...yet. There are a couple thread in this sub forum on the subject if you want to read the 100 different ways users have tried to get a recovery.

I found this and I didn't tried it because it may not work see for your self
I just wondering when the android 4.2 will be released to solve all those problems
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I think my bootloader is 3.41 and I have no issues but I flashed the factory image from Google because my touchscreen didn't respond after the 4.1.2 OTA.
Try flash the bootloader and see if it works and if not then flash the factory image.
Just note that if you use the script/batch file to flash it all automagically it will wipe your SD so flash each image separately and don't flash userdata.img
flashing factory fixes any software problem, its the best thing about owning a nexus.

Won't boot to recovery

Either from the bootloader or from the Nexus 7 Toolkit, this stupid thing won't boot to recovery. I flashed from CM10.1 to cm10 after wiping cache and dalvik...now I cannot get to recovery. System boots after going back to stock and even after the CWM flash, but recovery seems to be non-existent. Using the toolkit mentioned I flashed CWM, and I cannot boot to this.

Does adb reboot recovery work

Try downloading ROM Manager from the play store. It will install recovery CMW for you and then you can boot to it. If you are trying to boot directory to recovery using the key press it will not work unless you have the tab plugged into a computer.. the N7 is funny that way.

Have you tried upgrading the bootloader to 4.31? That fixed my problem.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I've already done the upgrade to Android 4.2 when I was on stock. CWM I had from the Nexus 7 Toolkit. Even when I boot to custom recovery via that it just skips over it. When I had CWM installed I could boot to recovery via the reboot menu though so I dunno what the issue is.

What version of CWM did you flash? Perhaps try downloading CWM 6.0.1.9 and flashing it via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-grouper.img

I don't think I need to do all that. Do I need to re-lock the bootloader, flash stock, unlock and flash CWM again or something? Trying to figure out why this device is such a pain in the ass. Even from the bootloader I can't boot to recovery after flashing it!!!

So how do I do this? My bootloader is version 3.34.

Pretty sure I bricked it. Just says booting failed. Friggin overmarketed P.O.S.
Anyone want to buy this?

Dang man calm down before you stroke out. Unless you did something seriously stupid it's not bricked.
And your ROM/flashing problems have nothing to do with the device itself.
Instead of rants, more details would help get you better answers.

It's booting now. Somehow flashing the stock ROM while locked soft bricks it.
So back to the drawing board, how do I get CWM back on here? This whole "adb push fastboot" yaddayadda is Greek to me.

weird soft brick... help please

I flashed the clockworkmod touch zip from my recovery.
It didn't give me the touch recovery, I thought "whatever" and booted back into my rom.
It wouldn't boot.
I went back into recovery and flashed PA rom and gapps.
They weren't booting, I decided to give them a few minutes.
It finally booted.
It no longer connects to wifi or tmobile.
I can't transfer files over usb.
Wugfresh's toolkit couldnt return it to stock.
I thought the recovery might have gotten messed up when I tried to flash CWM touch, so I flashed TWRP from Wugfresh's toolkit.
I used adb sideload to flash a stock rooted rom.
It still took forever to boot, and is still not connecting to wifi/network.
TL;DR I can boot into fastboot and recovery and even the rom but I have no network connection... help guys :'(
It says BASEBAND VERSION - N/A... could that be the problem? If so, how do I fix it?

This is why we don't use toolkits. Return to stock using ADB and do it again...

When I try to fastboot flash the stock image it says "does not contain recovery.sig" "does not contain boot.sig" and only updates the bootloader.

Did you dl the image right from Google?

[Q] JWR66Y breaks root and recovery???

I was running 4.3 stock rooted and yesterday was prompted to update to JWR66Y, thinking this would be no big deal i decided to update. later on that day i decided i was bored with stock android and went to flash cm10.2, but the update has seemed to wipe TWRP off my nexus 7 and has also broken root..
does anybody know how to fix this??? the internet has provided no answer and i would very much like to enjoy the freedom of having a rooted nexus..
thanks to anyody that can help! :fingers-crossed:

If you had searched well you knew that booting a stock ROM after sn update almost always replaces the custom recovery by stock recovery. The easiest way to reflash your custom recovery is using fastboot, I.e.
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
while you are in fastboot mode.

That's a contradiction. Need to flash stock everything, even the recovery. Once you do that, and the phone is running correctly, then you basically start over again.

If you want to go in recovery mode you can :
Install Nexus Root Toolkit
Install drivers USB
On your phone : boot into Bootloader
In NRT :
Advanced utilities : Launch
In Advanced utilities :
Boot / Flash Image
Boot (Temporary)
choose openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-mako.img in C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data\Recovery_Custom\TWRP
You will be in TWRP
