Hi all, after some modding it seems that my nexus 7 2013 lte custom recovery is vanished. I've tried to flash it via adb, I've flashed the new 5.1 official image, but nothing happen. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode, via adb or power+volume up, all I get is a dead android robot logo with no options.
And, btw, my N7 works perfectly
What can I do?
Thanks
When you flash a new android version you lose root and custom recovery, you need to root and flash custom recovery again as your currently on stock, when that robot is on his back you also have hold down a button combo to access the fastboot / bootloader or recovery, unless you send it the command via adb.
My advice is re-root using cfautoroot and flash custom recovery with flashify.
Ok, thanks! I've flashed twrp (I'm still no-root) and it works fine. Now is there any possibility to come back on stock recovery?
Flashify premium allows you to download and flash stock recovery or bootloader,
if you can't afford it or there not available for dl yet you can alternatively extract the .img files
from the factory image and flash them instead.

Nothing to do. I've extracted the img file from the factory image and flashed it via fastboot but, when I restart the device in recovery mode, it still shows the green half dead androidbot
^Thats normal. When you get to that screen you have to press volume up, down and power all at the same time, all three buttons. Just keep pressing them all at once a few times and it'll let you into stock recovery. It took me about 10 minutes to get in the first time. Don't hold the buttons, a quick press.

So you're saying that normally, on a Nexus 7 with no root and with stock recovery, the combination key to enter in the recovery isn't power+volume up ? Sorry for repeating, but I'm new at modding
I'm saying when you boot into recovery and it gives you the dead android (on it's back I think?) do what I said above.

Done Thank you all!
Yeah it's pita to press, it's why I prefer to launch recovery from flashify or quick boot it's so much easier.
Android seems to love doing things arsed about faced / over complicated it should just be an option in settings, power off like
custom roms along with wireless adb.

Hey guys. Got quite the problem here. My Sprint Galaxy Nexus is in an infinite boot. It just stays on the boot animation. I've left it there, at various times, for as long as 90 minutes. It first started after trying to flash the Jellin' 4.1 ROM and continued when I tried three other ROMs (using ADB push to put the ROMs onto my device). I then decided to use Odin, which may have made things worse, as now I do not have any ClockworkMod Recovery. Or any recovery at all, actually.
The only way I can get any data on the phone, at least as far as I can tell, is through Download mode. The leaked Sprint recovery tools also fail as soon as they try to start pushing data to the phone. I do not see my phone on the ADB devices list in either Download mode or the Boot menu. I have also tried to push CWM to my phone using Odin, but that seemed to need to boot into the OS to finish, so that also failed.
If anyone has any suggestions here, I would be incredibly appreciative. I have exhausted my knowledge of flashing and un-bricking devices here. Perhaps there is a different image I should be flashing using Odin? Only the FD02 image in this thread actually completes a load in Odin. The other sits at the "SYSTEM" phase.
you should be able to get into fastboot by holding both volume buttons then holding power, but the fd02 .tar should install stock rom and recovery. perhaps try re-downloading? place the .tar in pda section and only have auto-reboot checked then begin the flash.

I'm confused here. Can you boot into fastboot mode (turn off, then hold vol up and vol down, and press power)? If so, then you should need to mess around with Odin. Just download a toroplus CWM (or TWRP) recovery and flash it to your device using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img. Then go into recovery, wipe /data and /cache, flash a stock kernel, and it should boot for you.

I wasn't aware you could use fastboot like that. But I did. And I managed to get ClockworkMod reinstalled and used that to wipe all my data and cache, as you suggested, and flash a new ROM. Worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help.

Also, if you get stuck on bootloop after unlocking bootloader (This happened to me couple times), do a factory reset in stock recovery to fix:
Thanks to shimp208 for the sideload method and working CWM, ChainFire for awesome SuperSU and to all the developers who are worked on CWM recovery!
So the CWM that was just updated by Koushik on CWM does not work properly or does it work? Was asking based on this

If you go into fastboot mode then choose recovery to get to the screen with the red triangle, keep pressing the power button and volume buttons randomly until the stock recovery pops up. From there do a factory reset and it'll work, I just did it to mine!
I flashed the CWM recovery img so when I do what you say it takes me to the bootloader screen and says Downloading. No red triangle. It boots into CWM and then after 20 seconds restarts itself and hits the bootanimation loop. Any clue what to do next? Trying to flash the stock image but having issues using cmds in windows cmd
*edit
I cleared cache through cmd and i got to the red triangle...thank ****ing the lord. DTWAZERE, I will remember tonight. Thank you for your help.

Thing is it will delete the CWM recovery when you leave it so you'll have to reflash it, which is why this is so unstable!
I had the exact same thing as you and this is what I did:
Press the power button to turn it off while it says downloading
Hold both volume buttons down and power on to get into fastboot
Choose recovery
Press power and volume buttons randomly when the red triangle appears until you get stock recovery
Choose Factory Reset
Reboot
You should be able to get back into the rom that way,
to root it you need to boot into fastboot again, reflash the recovery, and sideload the superuser apk

Yeah this is exactly what I did and it worked. I'll wait on flashing anything until there's a stable recovery. I was fairly confident in what I was doing until that happened. Not being able to input commands from cmd prompt made me sick so I'll wait for a dev to release something that works without having to quickly install the drivers again within a 15-20 second timeframe. Too much stress.

How do we get back to stock? Might need to reattempt this.
If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!
NOTE: fastboot -w will wipe your internal storage completely

THIS WORKED!!
Youre a genius. thanks!
When I try to install the manta drivers manually and tell it to search the same area that it searched and found the android bootloader drivers for fastboot mode it says that the drivers couldn't be found and installed. Am I missing something? Also if i try to do fastboot flash recovery it gives me an error message stating that it cannot determine the image filename for the recovery image.
Well i guess i did it the long way around.
Went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
and downloaded the Nexus 10 file. extracted, and the actual files in the Nexus10Root folder.
Opened the flash-all.sh and entered each command manually because it was erroring out running the script.
After the 3rd command it booted right into android!
I have a toro/i515/Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus (the CDMA/LTE one) running a mostly stock (but rooted and with busybox) Jelly Bean JRO03O (Android 4.1.1).
I screwed up my build.prop (and can't boot normally), so I attempted to boot into CWMR 6. To my surprise, cold booting holding the Vol + button started to proceed with a normal boot. So I cold booted with the Vol - button held.
And that shocked me even more. I'm staring at ODIN Mode. WTF? When did ODIN get on my phone? What happened to the bootloader where I could select booting into recovery, or the bootloader, or normal booting?
I've been scouring Google and this forum, and many other forums, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to boot this thing into a custom recovery so I can fix my build.prop through adb.
I'm at a loss. I suck at using ODIN (I only started using it recently when I bought my GTab2 10.1 GT-P5113).
How am I supposed to hack my phone when I can't use ADB, fastboot, or a custom recovery (booting normally hangs also)?
The only thing I don't want to do for a repair is a full wipe. I don't have a way of backing up my data without ADB.
I've tried enclosing various boot, bootloader, and recovery images (img files) into tar files (archives) and sending them to the phone via ODIN using the PDA and/or the BOOTLOADER button(s). I've tried to see if Wug's Toolkit would talk to my phone via ODIN.
Nothing seems to change.
Help!!! Please!!!
Any of the following will do:
1. Tell me how to get adb working.
2. Tell me how to revert ODIN back to the normal boot/bootloader (that works with fastboot) - this would be best. ODIN sucks.
3. Tell me how to get to my files via ODIN.
Please help. This sucks.
*sheepish grin* - I forgot about holding BOTH Vol + and Vol - at the same time while cold booting.

After posting the above, I meant to indicate that this thread could be closed. I knew exactly what to do now that I could finally get into fastboot.
Maybe ODIN was on my phone all along, but I could almost swear that I used to get into fastboot by holding Vol - while cold booting, and that I could get into recovery by Holding Vol + while cold booting. I don't remember ODIN being there at all.
Anyway, the bottom line:
Fastboot loads with Vol + AND Vol - held down while cold booting.
I was able to reflash boot, bootloader, and custom recovery with fastboot.
I was able to boot into custom recovery from fastboot.
Once CWMR 6 was running on my phone in recovery mode, I was able to mount /system from the recovery menu, to use adb to pull /system/build.prop, to edit it, to use adb to push build.prop back to /system, and finally to use adb to change permissions on build.prop back to 644.
Am I crazy? Was ODIN always on my VzW GNex?
Was it always loaded when holding Vol - down during a cold boot?
Or were the Vol - and Vol + buttons (individually) originally used for booting fastboot mode and recovery mode?
If I had forgotten that, then I haven't be hacking my phone enough, as I haven't been in fastboot in a long time.

Because there is a new ota update not integrated in last published 6.0 factory image. With netflix and something else fix, sized 2.2 mb.
Got mine to install. Was able to get into stock recovery. Boot into bootloader, (reboot, hold down power and volume down buttons), select recovery. When you get to the android screen with the red triangle, hold the power button and touch the volume up button. Takes you to recovery. I wiped the cache and rebooted, then was able to take the ota.

Hey all, little embarrassing coming here for this, but I'm in a little bit of a jam. I'm new to flashing custom ROMs, and I was trying to flash my first today, and managed to screw everything up in the process. I can boot into Clockwork mod via my PC, and I can still do everything I need to from there, but I was stupid, and didn't make a Nandroid backup before doing so. So I was wondering if anyone here could lend me theirs that I could slap onto an SD card, and recover my phone with. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Just so we're clear, this isn't an attempt to get personal information. I will take any backups you have, with or without an unlocked bootloader, with or without rooting, with or without custom ROM, anything. Heck, I'd prefer to have it as close to stock as possible, so I can do everything myself. I just need a bit of a bailout here.
Shameful self-bump. I could still really use some help here.

Triple post, but it's with a question. I'm nearly positive that this whole ordeal is going on because I tried to boot into recovery mode with the TWRP app when no recovery was available. So now the question is, is there any way I can stop the phone from trying to boot into recovery so I can install a proper one?
Turn it off, then press volume up + power when vibrates, release power while holding volume up, then release volume up as well, it should boot into bootloader where you can fastboot a new recovery.

Tried that. Doesn't work. Like I said, it keeps booting into the psudo-recovery mode thing. I can't even boot into the bootloader from there.

that will help you - besides if you are silly enough to think anyone will just give you something like a backup, come on man, I am dumb but even I am not that dumb
Have u tried to boot into Fastboot from your Cm recovery? If not, there is a way to make the stock firmware flushable by twrp or cm recovery. I don't feel like typing the whole process but if u look around the forum for a sec u should find it pretty easily. Once u do that, everything will be factory again.

I have tried booting from CWM, but TWRP overrides it still. I'll look into flashing stock firmware through CWM though.
