Same here. Goo hasn't worked for me for several months now. Pretty much given up on it.

Hi, joshag....
If your Nexus 7 is already rooted, you can use the apps, Flash Image GUI or Flashify to flash a Custom Recovery directly from the Nexus 7 itself.
Just install one of them (personally I prefer Flashify)... download the TWRP Recovery Image file appropriate to your particular Nexus 7 (links below)... and then use Flashify or Flash Image GUI... the on screen instructions are pretty self explanatory, just ensure you pick the FLASH RECOVERY option, and then navigate to the folder on your Nexus 7 where the TWRP recovery image downloaded to... (usually the /download folder).
So... no PC or fastboot required... just a rooted Nexus 7. (If you aren't already rooted, you're out of luck I'm afraid).
I use this method myself quite frequently, particularly when I can't be bothered booting up my laptop.

Will search you find says Yoda
Download ROM Manager. It'll install CWM for you.
Fwiw, most people seem to prefer TWRP, but it's your choice... :thumbup:
Download CWM Touch for Nexus 7 from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanage
Save it to computer.
Then boot Nexus 7 into bootloader, plug device into computer and use fastboot to flash the recovery IMG.
fastboot flash recovery C:\file\path\to\recovery.img

Hi, superuser.pm....
There's more than one way of skinning a cat!
There are several different ways of changing from TWRP to CWM.
ROM Manager should do it, and it should be the easiest. But I haven't used it for quite a while, so I really can't comment on it.
Alternatively, you could download the the CWM .img file directly to your PC... from here:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager.
Make sure you get the right version for your device. Ideally, you want the 'touch recovery' version.
Rename it to 'recovery.img'...
And then fastboot flash it with....(with the Nexus 7 booted into the Bootloader).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
----- OR -----
(YOU WILL ALREADY NEED TO BE ROOTED FOR THE FOLLOWING TO WORK. If you need a Recovery to initially acquire Root... then you'll need to use fastboot).
Download the CWM .img file (from the same link, as above) directly to your Nexus 7 (it's not big, around 6.6Mb, should download to the /download folder)...
And then use either of these two apps to flash...
Flash Image GUI or...
Flashify
---------
Flashify, I think is the better of the two, but the free version has a limit of 3 flashes per day (although I can't imagine why you'd want to perform more than 3 .img flashes in any given day).
In any case, either of these will 'write' a recovery .img to the recovery partition - and that includes either CWM or TWRP .img files. Just follow the on-screen instructions. Both apps will request Root access.
I prefer this method over fastboot... not because I don't like fastboot, but because I can easily flash a recovery (performed entirely on my Nexus7) without having to drag out my Windoze laptop (and avoiding dealing with Windoze is always a desirable goal IMHO!)

[Q] best way to upgrade TWRP ?

currently I'm on 2.6.0.0 and I was thinking of the benefits to upgrading to the latest version, plus also the risks involved. Whats the best way to upgrade TWRP ?
Use goomanager. It's by far the easiest since it's mostly automated.

I just downloaded the latest version of TWRP, booted into the bootloader and loaded the image by
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {insert name of image file here}
. Easy peasy,,,
oops, it's a bit late. I found the goomanager and installed it, trouble is I installed the OTA update which has set my device unrooted. There is no TWRP any more, not sure how to get into recovery mode as a dead android with a red triangle appears. I'm unlocked, but just cant get into recovery.
I took a full TWRP backup before I started, any tips ?

Just use ADB to Fastboot flash recovery. Either Fastboot flash your root file or copy it to your device. If you copy it to your device, then boot to recovery and flash your Superuser or SuperSU .zip. You don't want to restore your backup though if your on the latest OTA now and your backup is the previous OTA.

Wug works well.. Simple too.

theres TWRP flashable zips in the TWRP thread, this is the easiest if you alrady got TWRP
you can use wug to install it for the first time then use goomanager to update it later or TWRP manager to dl manually.

[Q] (T-Mobile) (D801) Installing Recovery Help

I have the Tmobile LG G2 (D801)
-Software D890110G
-Build JDQ39B
-Rooted using ioroot method
I cannot install either TWRP or CWM Recovery.
No matter what method I use to install a recovery (a zipped recovery) or using adb fastboot, I always end up on a black screen with
[720] Fastboot mode started
[770] udc_start()
I need the latest CWM or TWRP so I can flash 4.4 Roms. I feel like there is no definite guide on how to install the recovery or it seems like a recovery for D801 does not exist.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
-Esteef
There is a guide and a YouTube video walking you through installing twrp through adb. I used it Saturday, works. But I'm thinking I need cwm to install cm11 twrp fails every time.

I just I stalled twrp on my phone today, so here's how I did it. Download recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 , save it on phone SD, dcim folder. Now download flashify from play store. Go to app and choose recovery image, look for the one downloaded earlier. That will flash the recovery and boot after.

Just Tried your method I still get the black screen with the Text on the top left corner.
I'm starting to believe I cannot change recoveries on my phone.
Also, using your method, It only installs 2.6.3.2 , I need 2.6.3.4 or latest CWM cause I want 4.4 based roms. 2.6.3.2 always give me an error when installing 4.4 roms

just flash the twrp 2.7.0.0 latest flashable zip through cwm and reboot recovery. it will take you to the twrp recovery. Thats it.
Fashify worked great when i switched to twrp
Im seeing a lot of people that have hard bricked by trying to flash TWRP without a computer. Is it relatively safe to do this, or should i just wait till i can get to a computer?

If you already have root just use flashify from the play store. Download the twrp image from goo.im and flash it in flashify

[Q] what am I doing wrong? (trying to get the gpe rom working - i337)

I have an i337. Never had any OTAs. I was using a recovery that would 'auto-loki' so I never had to flash the lokidoki zip before.
I'm trying to install the latest GPE by Danvdh and I keep ending up booting into twrp(2.6.0.0).
I wipe all that one would normally wipe.
Then I flash the ROM.
The aroma installer starts, I've tried the googy kernal and (mostly) the stock kernal.
I uncheck the reboot now option at the end of the aroma installer to get back into twrp
I then flash the lokidoki zip.
I reboot and get kicked back into the recovery.
I'm thinking I may need a newer version of TWRP, but I'm not sure. I dont want to use odin to get back on jellybean just to update the recovery unless I know that's the issue.
the loki zip is ~10MB
Any info is much appreciated. I've been at this for hours.
You need a newer version of twrp. You don't need to use Odin. Look for the flashify app in the play store.

My phone is only booting into recovery though. I have the latest twrp image. Is there a way to flash it from within twrp?

If you can find a zip. I'd make one for you, they're easy once you know how, but I'm traveling on business and don't have access to a computer.
