Hi everybody, I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 (Desktop version) to Nexus 7(2012). It works but, now I want to reinstall Android, problem is that: I can't boot to recovery. If I push Power on, vol+ & vol- it isn't turning on. When I press only Power on it turns and boots to Ubuntu, how can I flash Android? It was rooted and cwm installed before Ubuntu. Ubuntu isn't installed in dual boot. Thanks for answers.

Hold Power and vol- (don't need to hold vol+) should power on and boot to bootloader screen. You should then be able to boot to recovery. If recovery was somehow wiped when ubuntu was installed, you should be able to flash a new recovery via fastboot.
Can't enter fastboot

Thanks for your reply, It can't boot to recovery and I can't enter fastboot mode. When it is turning, little text in screen, saying "boot img Ubuntu".
Any ideas?
Google is your friend.

In the link it says boot to bootloader. I can't boot to bootloader. Any other ideas?
Maybe someone on the #ubuntu-arm channel on freenode can help you out.

I updated to 6.0.1.0 with Rom Manager (not touch). I can get into recovery via rom manager but not when booting. When I boot I hold down volume button and power on. Recovery is an option but when I choose it and press power button the Nexus just hangs and never goes into recovery. I end up holding down power button to reboot. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
no way yet from bootloader to CWM unless you plug the tab to a pc and execute fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
From android OS, use ROM manager app as you already mentioned.

Thank you for reply. Very odd. I wonder if this will be resolved somehow. Does anyone run the touch version of CWM on the Nexus 7 and does it work normally from boot (without being plugged in)?

It's a problem with the bootloader, not CWM. Touch is no different, unfortunately.
Most custom ROMs have 'reboot to bootloader' built into the power menu, so no cables are needed
This happened to me as well, it was after i flashed a Tablet UI patch in cwm and it somehow deleted my boot options to reboot into recovery, rom manager will not allow me to reboot into recovery or any other options through the app on CleanRom rom * must do it through Rom boot options >.<
It's very strange - I can't get to recovery by holding down power + vol-up + home buttons. The message comes up that it's booting recovery but then disappears for a second and then either powers off or boots normally.
I can boot into recovery through the toolkit/odin/goomanager however and I've also found that I can boot into recovery if I first go into download mode, press vol-down to cancel download and boot normally and then immediately press the vol-up/power/home button combination.
I have TWRP installed but I previously had philz CWM and this problem happened with both. If i remember rightly the first recovery I tried to install was the original CWM with odin but when I booted into recovery it was still the stock recovery. I'm not sure if this information is necessary though.
Can anyone help me with this or why this could be happening?

When was the last time you updated SuperSU?
Go to the playstore and download/install the latest version reboot the phone normally and after reboot reboot into recovery.
Good luck!
Thanks, that worked. I can now get into recovery with the button combo.

Hi guys,
I'm not able to boot into android recovery. I'm using cLK. But after installing a ROM, I'm not able to boot into recovery, and the ROM won't boot, so I will need to boot into recovery mode. i tried pressing my power button for long time, but it doesnt boot into recovery mode, but trying to load the android ROM.
I'm a newbie on HD2 here, please help. Thanks

you need to keep pressed home + power until recovery appears
otherwise you can boot into clk by keeping pressed back + puwer and then select "recovery" to boot into your recovery...
hi, i'm unable to boot into recovery by choosing the recovery option from the bootloader mode. i can get into recovery by using 'adb reboot recovery' when it's booted into android. i have tried multiple recovery images of twrp also philz cwm, it just doesn't work from the bootloader mode. anyone has experienced this issue or have an idea?
thanks in advance

you are not supposed to select the recovery option in bootloader with power key....after you get to bootloder...press down volume once and then up volume button for selection

2. downloaded TWRP and RedWolf recovery
3.Followed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-x-t3787134
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...t/recovery-red-wolf-recovery-project-t3787402

5.What should I do to sukcessfully flash custom recovery?
Here's a simple fix....
Reboot to bootloader...
Open adb
Type
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip(whatever your file is named)
Then long press pow button turn off..
Now press and hold power button and vol down....leave power button when screen lights up but keep holding vol down for a few more second..
It should boot into twrp now

thanx for the reply i replaced the old phone as it was not booting at all after i tried to revert back to .247 . but then the new phone i got was already on .318 so same twrp not installing issue someone said something like twr(pie) worked for them but i cant find anything like that. can u help me with that. thanx in advance.
Enter fastboot mode,flash twrp recovery,then go to recovery by pressing volume down and power button.if it boots OS then it will be replaced by stock recovery.so if you can't boot to recovery first time(BEFORE BOOTING OS) ,repeat the same process.
Any update on this , I tries installing TWRP version twrp-3.2.3-0-X00T-20180902.img but its the default recovery That I am getting.

Hi guys.
I'm lost!
Wonder if anyone could help a newbe like myself!
So:
I havae unlocked the bootloader, flashed with newest twrp recovery img.
Then?? I cannot boot into twrp for some reason!
I wonder if there is only a specific release of twrp that my phone allows, or can I get whichever??
And also.... Once it's done and I try to long press the volume up + power button, it doesn't seem to get me anywhere.
What am I missing??
All the tutorials and the thread I read make perfect sense...but then I fail miserably!
Please help!
Thanks!!!
Nobody?? Please help!! ??
Guys?!
