Cannot get a Recovery on my Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, just like the title says...I cannot get a recovery on my nexus 7 2013 (Wifi). I don't get it, I had this thing rooted with TWRP for over a year and a half on Lollipop 5.0.1 and haven't really used the device for a long time....Now Marshmellow is out and my Nex 7 (being the only Nexus device I have currently) figured I'll update to 6.0 and check it out using Wug's toolkit like always. So I used the unroot flash stock option and successfully flashed 6.0 on my device but for some reason cannot get it to boot into a recovery? Not the stock one?...not TWRP?.....no CWR? I have flashed all in Wug's and it just keeps going to the little android screen with NO Command under him. Yes I am doing the button combo correctly to get recovery to show. Wug's automatically tries to boot into it and it still sticks at the android guy screen? Hell I even flashed back to Lollipop just to see if it was Marshmellow that was the culprit but still no avail? Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix? I just wanna know I'll be safe if I bork something without reflashing to stock. Other than this problem everything else works fine.

there is a separate section of nexus 7 2013 on xda
try to google correct forum

Grouper bricked after latest 4.3 OTA, no recovery

Heya...
On my 16GB Grouper I had installed the stock rooted 4.3 rom. Yesterday a system OTA update message appeared on my screen - 1.7 MB. I let it download and install over night and just went to bed. Came back in the morning to a boot loop where the device got stuck with the four colorful thingies animation. I can access the bootloader, but the recovery seems to be broken. Can't remember if I had anything other than the stock one... Anyways, now I'm strugling to get this thing going again. I am a zero at ADB but willing to learn whatever is necessary to get me started with a working recovery at least. No tool root box will do anything really for me...
Thanks for your help in advance
Hey!
Had a problem just like yours. If your running windows then install this program its called nexus tool kit. I'm a newbie here but if you Google 'nexus toolkit wug fresh' you can find it
All you need to do is plug your device in and open the program, then select flash OTA with the boot loop option and then follow the on screen instructions
That should put you back to normal with a fresh start meaning all you data will be lost. You can also root from there to.

Yeah. It would be dumb to actually learn what you are doing to your device. You should totally use a toolkit.

Honestly, I'm just showing the user one way, I anticipated him of being a newbie. For the record, it shows you all the process's happening.

Thank you guys. You might not believe it, but I'm not a newb to Android or flashing. It's just that I've always been playing around with Samsung devices and there you'd normaly turn to Odin in case something went wrong. Here it's different.
Anyways, with this comprehensive guide I've been able to reflash a recovery image and my old rom. Unfortunately losing all of my data in the process, but there was no way to save it.

[Q] Nexus 10 stuck at boot up screen after 4.4 update

Dear all,
I am a noob to android (just bought a nexus 10 and nexus 5 this month) I decided to root my devices. My nexus 10 was originally rooted with 4.3 and today an update popped up for 4.4. so I clicked restart and install, Now its stuck on the boot-up screen with the 4 dots moving around.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2419292&stc=1&d=1385608235
How do I get it to start on 4.4. I do not mind losing all my stuff.. I also don't mind the stock android, as i never installed any custom roms.
I was a previous iOS user and thought it'd be fine to just update like I did on my jailbroken iOS device.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me simple steps to follow..
I'm really sorry if this question has been previously asked but I searched and everyone with my problem have uploaded screenshots of their computer.. i didnt use a computer to update..
I want to just wipe data/factory reset from the boot setting but I don't want to screw things up before confirming with you guys. Also I've got clockworkMod incase thats important
Thanks a lot for all the help!
The update would have worked fine if you didn't have clock work mid installed. First thing to try to fix it is go into clock work mod recovery (hold power and volume buttons) then you can do a factory reset from there. If it still doesn't boot then just download wugfreshs toolkit. It will do it for you. I would tell you how to manually do it but since your new to android it may be better to get it done using a toolkit which is easier. In his toolkit there is an option for return to stock and from there just follow the instructions. You can search for wugs toolkit for nexus 10 and it should come up.

[Q] Nexus 7 gets stuck on google screen.

Hi,
I have a Nexus7(2012) I was previously running Paranoid Android and tried to update to 4.4.
I am using CWM recovery and I used the factory reset option in before I flashed.
The 4.4 ROM didn't work (because it was an ota update). When I tried to boot back into Paranoid Android it wouldn't go past the google screen, and after waiting on the screen it would put me back into recovery. I also don't have a backup to flash. I am also really bad with the fastboot and adb stuff. I just want to put 4.4 on my device, how do I do that?
(I can't transfer anything from my computer to nexus 7 because my computer won't recognise it. But it will make the USB connected sound.)
Thanks for any help!
It also happened to me but I was update via ota and its stuck in bootloader but I still manage to go into recovery mode. I also don't like using adb fasboot but I thing that is the only way that you can bring your nexus to 4.4. But that's only my advice. Maybe other great dev can give you another solution.

There are a few things you could try. Look at some of the previous threads on this. I had the same problem yesterday and found the solution by searching.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2013) wont boot on its own after upgrade to 5.0.2

I have a Nexus 7 (2013). It has been unlocked/rooted for some time now. The new upgrade to 5.0.2 would not work automatically so I had to do it manually using NRT (2.0.2).
Everything seemed to work ok until I tried to re-root it....
Now it will not boot up fully, I am just left with the "swirling balls"....
However, I can connect to it and boot it from NRT using Fastboot Boot > Browser/Other and modified_boot_razor_5.0.2_LRX22G.img. This all works ok, but when I disconnect it and reboot it normally it is back to the "swirling balls".
I seem to think there is something amiss with the bootloader...???
I would really appreciate some ideas.... I would much prefer not to have to start from scratch... I am sure there is some one on here who can help.... Please...
Alan
