Just rooted my N7 on 4.2.2 but can't boot into recovery. I just get the "no command" screen. I flashed twrp with the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything seemed to go fine but I can't boot into recovery. Is there another way to flash a custom recover?
Thanks!

you probably booted, not flashed the recovery. fastboot flash it via fastboot with the instructions above. or, to make it even easier, download the goo manager app. you can flash twrp recovery with the app. open the app, press the settings option, press install openrecoveryscript, press yes, then let it do its thing.

Read the download instructions at the bottom. Have you done that step?
The stock recovery will be restored on boot otherwise. It's the same procedure for any recovery (CWM) not just TWRP.

Sorry, it's just that some tutorials are not complete at all.
To my understanding is that the device will recover the original recovery every reboot

I'm pretty sure TWRP has an option to keep it. I'm using cwm and I can reboot fine. Its when flashing new firmware it will replace your custom recovery. CWM asks if you would like to disable recovery flash and selecting Yes let's you keep your custom recovery!

the missing line in the script from your post was this
fastboot.exe boot cwm.img
edit: i haven't tried twrp yet
edit2: works for twrp too but don't need that line if coming from custom recovery already
So a while back I went through the process to root my phone and went with safestrap. Now it appears the new roms aren't compatible with safestrap (is it because of 4.3 gapps?).
How would I go about switching over to CWM? Is there anything fancy? Is there a guide? Any help appreciated.
Thank You.
Is your boot loader unlocked?
If so, flash CWM through fastboot (there are a few guides on XDA of how to do so). Flashing a new ROM through CWM will remove safestrap.

Yes unlocked. I will look it up. Thanks.
I believe you can also use backups made in Safestrap in TWRP (/data/ only)

You'll need to uninstall recovery through the actual SafeStrap app. Then, you'll need to delete the app and all the SS folders.
So I am getting the "cannot load cwm.img" on the command prompt.
cwm.img is in the same folder as fastboot and adb.
not sure what is up. Currently searching for solution....
EDIT: Typed full path. Seems to have worked....

Booted back into safestrap. I'm assuming this is why?

Yep that's why. SafeStrap works seperate from your recovery. If you actually boot into recovery do you get CWM? If not, you'll probably need to re-flash it. When you re-flash, boot back into recovery prior to booting into OS. This will assure that the install script is complete. Otherwise, your stock recovery will override CWM.

Gotcha. Well I can uninstall it via a recovered system that still has safestrap on it. I did something weird trying to boot into CWM and when i start my phone it goes into the bootloader due to flash failure. I can override this with "fastboot continue", but i don't want to do something really bad... am I going to run into any issues if I get to CWM and flash a new rom?
Thanks for the help fellas
EDIT: Flash failure problem went away. Reflashed CWM, wouldn't boot via fastboot boot cwm.img, managed to get to recovery before system loaded... but still went to safestrap.. trying old fashioned SS uninstall now, then reflash, then boot into recovery.
EDIT 2: Uninstalled safestrap.. doesn't boot to bootloader now?
EDIT 3: Brought up safestrap on my eclipse rom, uninstalled safestrap. Went to bootloader. Flashed CWM supposedly successfully. Tried to run "fastboot boot cwm.img" only to get cannot load. Tried to go from bootloader to recovery manually (power button --> key press) but just loads up the OS.
Clueless now

Do "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" and open up the power menu via three button press, then select recovery.

Yeah unfortunately there's no command to boot recovery from fastboot.
You can try running "fastboot reboot" while holding the volume buttons right after flashing cwm. That should do the trick. It should boot to the boot selection menu, then you can choose to boot to recovery.
Also, thought you killed yourself when I read your other post...
fastboot boot cwm.img is one argument away from a very, very bad day... If you put "flash" before boot, you'd be in trouble... Lol
Maybe I should write up a root app that will rename install-recovery.sh... That's not a bad idea...

I always just power down the phone after flashing recovery and then manually reboot into recovery.
And done. Here's a link...
ftp://kd8rho.net/RecoveryFlasherDisabler-public-test.apk
I forgot to declare superuser in the manifest... I know, shoot me. Needs root access and all that jazz. Run the app before flashing recovery

So, if someone on stock who wants to flash custom recovery could test this, that would be great. It should work, but as I have no stock RAZR Ms, I can't confirm it will work

Installed on phone. Says found but disabled. Tried flashing cwm.img and rebooting into recovery. Still goes straight to OS...
Enable install-recovery doesn't work
this all seems very straightforward of a process that should be working...
Do I need to try wiping everything down as bare as possible?
Is this the process that works for others? Take safestrapped, rooted, bootloader unlock device on an old pre-bootloader-unlocked rom. Uninstall safestrap. Flash cwm.img using fastboot comand. Boot into recovery. Then you should be in CWM?
I'm running CM 10.2 and every time I try and boot into recovery, it boots into stock recovery instead of CWM. I've tried booting into it using the menu when you hold the power button and then I've tried holding power+volume down on restart and every time it just goes stock.
Any help/opinions are much appreciated.

Turn off your device, hold all three buttons until you see a menu pop up. Select Recovery and you should get CWM.

Every time I go into recovery, it sends me to the Android with the exclamation point, then I get to stock recovery. Even with the three button.
Looks like you need to flash your recovery again

Yep, and after flash is complete, power-off your phone and boot straight into recovery. There's an install script that needs to complete. If you don't boot straight into CWM, stock recovery will override CWM.
I didn't do that last time, that must be why I can't get there now. Thanks for the heads up!

Well I ran into the same problem where I just get dead Andy. I flashed TWRP from fastboot but for the life of me can't remember how to boot into recovery from there.
Edit
I literally looked for over an hour about how to get into recovery before I posted. Well I found the answer almost immediately after posting, power/Vol+.
So I flashed my recovery again through fastboot, powered up using power/Vol + but still can't get into recovery.
Are you on stock ROM? You may have to remove or rename the recovery install file install-recovery.sh after flashing TWRP... Located in system>etc on stock

How did you guys managed to flash Phil's CWM? There were 3 TWRP thread guide for LG G2. What did you use and what method before flashing Phil's? I hope he'll release a flashable img for his CWM.
Use this one it super easy. After that flash Philz from TWRP.

I booted into TWRP Recovery and from there, flashed PhilZ Recovery. From that point on, when I boot into recovery, I get into PhilZ instead of TWRP.
I still haven't figured out how to boot into recovery using the power/volume buttons. I've tried a few times and I can't get it to work. However, Recovery Tools has a reboot option, and that works great for now. Of course, if I get into trouble and can't access this app, that option is gone

I did the same thing. I chose "Install" in TWRP and selected PhilZ recovery. After reboot, PhilZ just came up by default. I didn't do anything else myself - I'm pretty new to this. Did I just get lucky?
ok so i used TowelRoot to root the phone, then the Motopacolypse apk to unlock bootloader. Root is fine, and iget the "unlocked bootloader warning" screen everytime i turn on my phone. next step would be to install recovery so i can flash ROMs right? downloaded ROM manager, dled and installed CWM, but i cant restart into recovery. i used ROM Managers option, and i just a normal boot. I try holding down the power + volume down button, and i still get a normal boot. any clue on whats going on?
Give holding power and both + - volume controls all at once to boot into the boot loader. From there press - to select recovery option and press + to go into recovery. That should get you there if the recovery indeed flashed.

TWR is the only one that (finally) worked for me. THANKS
TWRP and CWM are not official for this phone, that's why you can't load them up through ROM Manager. Either way, nice to see you have it working now.
i just flashed TWRP successfully using Flashify (plya store) and TWRP 2710 for razrM from Dhacker.
total time to download install and flash - about 2 minutes
