Hi there, I have a little problem with the tablet of a friend.
Long story short: It always only boots into recovery. Nothing else. Used several different roms, it boots into recovery. Trying to restart into system from the recovery (i have a system installed), it restarts into recovery. Starting the bootloader, it shows me different options to choose from. One of them is "boot secondary kernel image" which I tried to choose, but I couldn't hit any keys as the navigation would not work. Basically, I can only hold the power-button while in this menu, in order to turn the device off. I am using TWRP v2.1.3 and Skrilax_CZ's Bootloader V8.
Do I need to reflash a bootloader or something? How to do this from recovery? I guess I can also go into APX mode.
EDIT: After using another recovery, I used a "Keytest" which was not included in the TWRP. It does NOT recognize the VOL-UP key (If you hold it so the volume keys are on the top right) but other keys. COULD it be that this is somehow pinched or something so it is basically always pressed, thus always booting in recovery? That would be so dumb, but I think it sounds reasonably?
Thanks

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 >.<
So about a few hours ago I saw that I could download the new 10.2 cyanogenmod. I wanted it because it was Android 4.3, so I downloaded it. I tried watching flash movies and stuff, and the browsers and stuff kept crashing, and the internet didn't work completely. So, I downloaded 10.1 again, and installed it. It rebooted to the teamwin thing, and then rebooted again. A few minutes after, I was curious as to why it was still loading. Waited a long time, and it still was on the CM boot logo thing. Im using the Nexus 7 toolkit (its called something else, but im not sure what. The icon is a red toolbox with 3 tools in it), and can't reboot into recovery or flash stock back on it. How can I get it out of bootloop? I really need help! D:
Press all the three buttons , power , volume up and volume down together and boot into bootloader. From boot loader use volume buttons to go onto recovery , do a clean wipe there and reflash a ROM. Another alternative is to use adb and type
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then wipe clean and reflash ROM.

You Probably forgot to do one or some of these steps before flashing, I had the same problem today trying to flash 10.2:

Hi Red Devil,
I just tried to install CM 10.1.3 on my Motorola Atrix HD.
I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing the ROM, and now it is stuck in the boot animation.
When I press the power and volume keys down together, it takes my phone to a black screen, and when I press them again on the black screen it gives me a brief menu that says
"Normal power up"
"Recovery"
"AP Fastboot"
"Factory"
and another one I can't recall.
This screen times out in about 3 seconds. and regardless of which item from the menu I select, it still shows my boot logo, then the CM animation. I cant boot into fastboot or recovery, and I can't find anything good online to help me.
Help! What do I do?
Hello there!
I wanted to root my phone via CF-Auto-Root, but I chose the wrong file (for kltedx instead of kltexx). Now my phone wants to boot into recovery mode (even if I'm trying to boot into download mode). It will now stay in the state saying "Recovery booting...." and nothing will change. When I press Power + Vol-, the same thing will happen because the phone obviously needs to boot into recovery mode. Pressing nothing also forces it to boot to recovery mode.
How can I exit from that state? I really have no idea what to do.
Thank you.
EDIT: I forgot to press the HOME key. I am sorry. That's embarassing, I know. No need to help any more.
I tried flashing ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager to a device and then I used ROM Managers "reboot into recovery" option to launch recovery. Unfortunately it seems the flashing of the new recovery was unsuccessful in some way despite ROM Manager reporting otherwise. Thus the device now tries to boot into recovery, fails and then tries to boot into recovery again.
Is there an easy way to make the device boot normally to android so that the recovery can be fixed?
Flash stock recovery via download mode
I tried this, the problem is I can't get it to boot into download mode since even when holding volume down, power and home it tries to boot into recovery.

Just hold them down regardless until it does. The 3 button combo will override any flags to boot to recovery.

Thanks, got everything running now.
Hi. Having a issue with my girlfriends phone. Don't know what happened, but it got stuck in bootloop. So I did a Odin flash, phone had custom Rom before this.
Now it's stuck on bootloop, and some times ends up like pictured.
Can enter download mode, but not recovery. I guess this has something to do with it having twrp before I flash stock on Odin?
That no command screen is shown first when recovery is booted. You either have to wait a bit for it to show or need to play around with a combination of keys to unhide the recovery menu.
Also when you go back to stock firmware from custom Rom firmware you have to factory reset your phone to boot it up again.
Finally, after about 3 hours I finally got access to recovery menu. First time I could not make any selection, 2nd time I got to factory reset and wipe clean. Now it's booting normally!
Key combination
Hi, which key combination did you use to get access into recovery menu?
