[Q] can't get into custom recovery

hi im new to the whole nexus 7 scene just got it today and its also my first nexus device. came from a highly locked down dx2 then to htc and now im trying this. i used the nexus root toolkit v1.5.5 to unlock and root and flash custom recovery. but when i hold power down+volume down i get into the boot loader and i choose recovery then GOOGLE splash screen comes up and it does absolutly nothing while no usb chord plugged in. with usb chord it stays at the google splash screen for but a moment then just boots into android.
i tried the advance utilities and flash the cwm that way but same results. im still on 4.1.0 jrn84d. what am i doing wrong? i don't fully understand adb so if there is quite litteraly a step by step please give me a link or write it down if no such link exists. my last hdd that had adb all setup and ready crashed so its not setup and i was talking to someone who helped me get it going. all i know is i need to use command prompt but getting it into adb and then using it to push and get into cwm i have no clue.
i would love to make a nandroid and then install a kernal to gget the full power out of this thing. it is unlocked and rooted already.

They using ROM Manager app to install CWM and also boot into recovery. Will work for sure as long as you're rooted.

If you follow the steps correctly, it should have a custom recovery installed. check if your rom is actually rooted.

EDIT: What the hell are you doing on 4.1.0? I thought factory stock was 4.1.1.

Get GooManager from the play store. It can download and install TWRP recovery which I prefer. GooManager will let you reboot into recovery too.

lol i dunno just came with it. its the 16gb version dunno why it came with 4.1.0 but it did. and when i installed rom manager i flashed cwm with that then choose to boot into recover that way and it worked. i am unlocked and rooted and now have a nandroid. have yet to try going to cwm with power+volume down being pressed i will give it a shot later on and make another nandroid before i accept the update im being propted for.
ty guys for the help.

There was a bug that required the N7 to be connected to a PC-USB connection before it would work. They didn't fix the bug until 4.1.2.
Your best bet, if you can boot into Android, is to download a Reboot-to-Recovery app or use CWM or GooManager to reset into recovery. If you are boot looping, throw a USB connection into the mix when trying to do it. I believe it is VolDown+Power+USB connection. Drivers may also be a factor.

Thanks for the reply. I finally updated it. Had to do three updates though. First to 4.1.1 then to 4.1.2 and then to 4.2. I have a nandroid at 4.1.0 so if I need to do anything I'm just going back. I used ota root keeper and the cwm that's from rom manager allows you to choose to protect your custom recovery as well as root. But I don't know if that was working in tandem with ota root keeper since I made sure to back it up first before I did anything.

[Q] Old noob needs help.......

I've been out of the android game for a while, and the G2 (vs980) brought me back. I recently rooted it and cannot get into cwm, everytime I try I get the lying droid with the red triangle ! I have already re flashed cwm through rom manager numerous times, and have also went into /etc/install-recovery.sh and renamed the file just in case it was overriding cwm. nothing is working and I need some advice

Don't use rom manager!
The easiest way to get a working recovery is to flash TWRP through an app called freegee from playstore. If you want CWM or Philz look for their threads in the development section and follow the instructions there.

I am unable to get into Recovery

I have just recently rooted my Verizon LG G2 and I downloaded Rom Manager to install clockwork mod recovery. It says the latest version has been install on my phone 6.0.4.4 but anytime I try to boot into recovery I get what looks like a error. There is a green android laying on his back with a door opening on stomach with a red triangle coming out. Can someone help me get recovery properly installed..

Do not use rom manager. It does not work. Use flashify or freegee

[Q] Issue With Booting Into CWM (Manually/In-App)

After rooting my D80010q with ioRoot24 I decided to install ROM Manager and make a NANDroidBackup before I installed Xposed. The root works but an issue came up after I attempted to boot into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.4.4). I simply got a dead android icon after the LG logo. After I Googled the issue and couldn't find any kind of solution besides attempting to boot into recovery manually by holding the volume buttons and the power button while turning on the device, which failed, I decided to come here.
Has anyone encountered this before and knows of any kind of solution to boot into recovery? I'm guessing it's because the bootloader is locked but I could be wrong. Didn't plan on installing a custom ROM though.
Info:
Carrier: AT&T
Device: D80010q
Android Version: 4.2.2
ROM Manager Version: 5.5.3.7
CWM Version: 6.0.4.4 Touch
Rooted with ioRoot24
Recovery flashed within the ROM Manager app

Alright, I downloaded Flashify. Do you want me to download it from within the app because it said it can't find a compatible TWRP recovery within the app.

FreeGee worked, 2.6.3.3 installed. Should I try and boot into it?

yes it should not be a problem but others have reported trouble while trying to flash roms so be careful

Did you try using freegee? I couldn't get custom recovery to install this last time through adb push method but freegee worked. It's free in the play store. I also have the D800
