I just rooted my Nexus using Wug's toolkit. When I got to the part after you unlock where you have to hold power and volume up to wipe the device, nothing happened and I got stuck in a bootloop. I fixed it by using the toolkit to revert to an OEM image, but even when it was stock, power and volume up does nothing. Am I missing the stock recovery?
Are you sure you're not hitting power down?
Holding volume up while powering on the device brings you to bootloader mode, from here you can get to recovery. Even if you had no recovery it would get you to bootloader mode. And if you had no bootloader the tablet would show zero signs of life whatsoever
So either you're not pressing keys correct or keys are broken
Also I would advice to stay away from toolkits, often these are far more trouble than they are worth, especially for nexus devices.
If you are able to boot to your stock os, which it sounds like you can, turn on USB debugging and open a terminal on PC
adb reboot bootloader
Get you to the same spot as the key press does

Hi,
I've tried every combination of key presses. I can get to the bootloader and select recovery, I get to the android with red exclamation point but volume + power up just reboots the tablet. Volume + power down gets me to the bootloader with just "Start" and "Downloading, do not turn off target". The tab is working fine with root applied, I just can't get to stock recovery.
Hi,
When the android with red exclamation mark appears you have to press Power and after some seconds (while holding power) you press volume up. If that doesn't do the work try flashing stock recovery again .

Thanks, but I tried that button press with no luck and even tried an app which claims to boot into recovery to no avail. It seems to be missing. I've also tried flashing stock recovery with wug's toolkit and it still seems to not be there. Not sure whether I should flash a custom recovery or whether that will mess things up further
I wouldn't use a toolkit, just use fastboot. And I would recommend a custom recovery such as twrp as it has far more options stock is okay too
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Now you can just boot to new recovery from bootloader or when in the os just use adb if you're having issues
adb reboot recovery

i install the paranoid android rom on my nexus 7 and now its stuck on the bootanimation of the paranoidandroid rom i didn't wipe the data but i did wipe the caches so if somebody can tell how to get out of it i will appreciate the help I'm new to this thank you
Hold on the power button (I believe) to turn it off and go back to recovery and re-wipe and reflash. It happened to me once. Or wait till the battery dies.
Hold down the volume up (might be down, can't remember) and power button down at the google screen. Then the screen should go black, quickly hold down all three keys (up, down, and power) and it should bring you to recovery mode. :good:

Hi. Have the same problem. When trying getting into recovery mode, nexus stuck on google logo. Please help. I don't know what to do.
Ran into the same thing and now fixed
I had the same problem and finally figured out (I think) that it was because I was installing the ROM and the gapps at the same time. I installed just the ROM and then booted. Then rebooted to recovery and installed the gapps.
1. Hook it up to the computer.
2. Shut it off. Hold power. Then hold Power and Down till at the bootloader screen.
3. Flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery recov_filename.img". I used the zip from thread 1837401 on these boards to get fastboot and clockwork recovery.
Sometimes have to do this 2x if won't run through. If it sits doing nothing, go down in the menu and reboot bootload and then rerun the command before touching anything on the GN7.
4. Go into recovery, flash PA and reboot. After got in and running, reboot and install gapps.
5. Enjoy the awesomeness!
LOL you have to wipe the data. use tib to get your stuff back. Wiping the cache is a meaningless gesture if you haven't wiped the data. If you had followed the instructions in the rom thread, there would be no problem for you.

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 ....
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.

Worked great! Thank you!
When attempting to enter recovery mode on my xt907, I get a sideways android figure with a red triangle instead of the normal recovery screen. I have not attempted to root the phone. Everything is stock. I usually boot into recovery once in a while to clear the cache. I have not changed anything since the last successful recovery boot. Any ideas?
Doesn't this always happen... then you have to press vol up and vol down to then enter the recovery menu... this should show you how to get in there... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JtzubRAGMWc&desktop_uri=/watch?v=JtzubRAGMWc

In that screen, hold volume down and tap volume up to get into the recovery menu.
I have been using goo manager to reboot into recovery on my ls980 on a stock odex rom. I went into a bootloop while flashing a new Rom. I couldn't boot into recovery or factory erase mode using the methods that I've seen. I messed around with my phone for about an hour and finally got it to work.
What I have to do is hold power and volume down button at the same time, when the lg screen pops up release the volume down button while keeping the power button pressed. A splash screen will pop up saying entering recovery mode. It will then boot into recovery.
I searched xda and Google and haven't been able to find this method so if had already been covered I couldn't find it.
