You might be able to... adb reboot recovery ... from your PC while it's booting

CWM Problems

Okay, so when I try to boot into CWM, I get stuck on the "Google" screen... Any ideas as to why it won't boot? I used the Nexus Toolkit to install the recovery. Also, I reflashed the recovery via the Nexus Toolkit, and it it boots, but after I reboot into Android, turn off, and Fastboot, it won't reboot into recovery.. It's getting a little irritating to not be able to get into recovery
Yes , it happens to my device as well. I installed quick boot and use it to put the n7 to recovery. I. Guess this is an easy workaround.

[HELP}Nexus 4 Recovery Mode Issue

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 ....

Getting into recovery question

I have the issue where I can't get into recovery using the volume down plus power button. It just sits at the Google logo after I select recovery in the bootloader. If I use an app like goo manager it works and if I use the option built into the power menu in my current rom it works.
Is there a fix for this that is easier than putting everything back to stock and doing root and everything all over again? Like is there a fix that can be flashed in recovery? I have seen one post where someone said to flash a new bootloader but I don't really see any threads with flashable bootloaders.
You either need to update your boot loader or plug it into a computer while you press the power and volume buttons.
Here's the newest boot loader that's flash able from recovery.
