So I've heard that when rooting, there's a bug that stops us from going into the cwm with the physical buttons and are forced to use the software to do it. My question is that when this bug is adressed will we just need to download the newer cw, from the play store and within that app just click flash clockwork mod? Or will we need to roof and do everything again?

root the tablet
then install ROM manager and flash the official recovery from there
works perfect
The bug is that you cannot boot into any recovery (cwm/twrp/stock) from bootloader unless you are plugged into you computer via a usb cable. The only other way to boot is to use a script but that requires a working system partition.

I have the same problem and I flashed the official CWM from Rom Manager. I made a nandroid before I messed with it and when I went to change the LCD Density, I don't know what happened but now it won't boot. I can't get into CWM either. I figure I'll use ADB when I get home to try and reboot into recovery, if not I'll search the forums for the stock image and reflash. If there is a HW workaround to get booted into it from the device itself that would be awesome. I had to do a battery pull to keep it from rebooting itself and killing the battery.
I've always had Rom Manager Pro and immediately after rooting, used it to flash backups, update to 6.0 cwm, etc. If your rooted you must have that or Goo Manager for TWRP flashing anyway. Might as well start immediately.
There is a thread somewhere here dealing with changing density. The Nexus7 has problems when you simply use a density changing app.. You must change density by modifying prop.build. You can do this using a root explorer app, or by using Rom Toolbox Pro. I use Rom Toolbox and it worked perfect.
Once I get it up and running again around lunch time, I'll do that. Probably bring my laptop back to work with me. One question I had is will I be able to access CWM recovery by using ADB commands or will it just put me on the Google screen with the padlock?

You can do fastboot boot recovery.img', or whatnot, even though it can't boot the recovery from the bootloader, at least you won't bork the device if /system gets messed up. 'adb reboot recovery' should work from android too.
I am stuck at the Google screen with the padlock and can't use ADB as it won't even recognize the device.
Is this a 6.0.0.6 issue? 6.0.0.4 worked just fine. I had a bad feeling when I hit upgrade through ROM Manager.

I believe you need to be on the bootloader screen? I haven't flashed anything from Asus in a while, not since my original Transformer.

Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is a CWM image, should allow you to get into the recovery to fix whatever you messed up. Note that ADB is only functional if you already have CWM or Android booted... in the bootloader, fastboot is all that's available.
I have the same issue. Stuck at the Google logo with a padlock at the bottom. I didn't flash anything with ROM Manager just the recovery.img through fastboot, then did a fastboot reboot. Now I'm lucky if I can get the thing to stay off when I hold the power button it just pops back up to the padlock with Google logo.
When going to recovery from bootloader - freeze at google logo
It works by rebooting into recovery via ROM Manager. Also by the way, can anyone give me a link to the mod for the nexus 7 on jelly bean for the extended power menu?

Has anyone figured a way to access recovery using the buttons only? I've tried TWRP 2.2 and the newest cwm, and on a cold start from power off, it sticks at the Google logo. During a bootloop you are screwed unless you have a laptop within arms reach. Until this is rectified I'm leery of flashing anything. The whole point is being able to restore a nandroid in a crisis. I haven't found that ability yet. If anyone knows a way, please educate me!
Guess we can just wait. Besides there's not much development yet anyways. Would love to use AdFree and root explorer though.

Recommend downloading quickboot. It is a paid app but it boots you to recovery no hassles with the buttons

1. if flashing two different roms, you have to wipe data. if you dont wipe, then youll get a bootloop.
2. bad download of a rom/kernel.
3. the theme/mod isnt compatible or a bad download.
4. rarely, stuff corrupts.
5. root applications with stuff thats not compatible with your rom/kernel.

watching a log cat via adb while the device is forced into one of these "bootloops". maybe even a dmseg. btw, are you sure that you have root? can you describe a situation, what you were doing with what root app, in detail how a "bootloop" happens? can you describe the bootloop and how you recover from one?

those options probably arent compatible due to android version, phone model, or rom(if works on another rom). there could be filesystem differences that make things incompatible. not all hacks/mods work on all devices. this all would cause bootloops, the way you describe it. have someone else with a nexus 4 confirm if they work or cause bootloops.
I already spoke with the developer regrading these boot loop problems... he has provided some solutions for it...
I have try those workarounds and lets see whether it fixes the problem or not....
HI all,
I flashed CWM recovery to my Tegra Note 7 tablet and it's upside down. Is there a way to invert it right side up or is there an updated version that fixes that issue?
On a side note: I'm new to development, but I would like to learn how to pull the bootloader from the device and edit it so that the red warning is removed and the device can be sent back under warranty if needed. Does anyone know which partition the bootloader is located in?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
You are just holding the tablet the wrong way around
but no, no fix yet. its normal.
I would recommend not even touching the boot loader. Changing any code in the boot loader can lead to the device not even turning on. I don't think even apx mode can save you if the boot loader is messed up.

Heh, too late! Already installed the CWM recovery, but I can restore the original recovery quite easily though. The bigger question is whether I can keep root with a stock recovery. Then again I might as well as go ahead and find out in the morning.
EDIT: I flashed stock recovery back and root still works. Can also boot into stock recovery without a problem.
Hi . I purchased a used LG G2 and didnt know that teamwin was installed or if it was stock or rooted.
I noticed an update available and downloaded the same, post which my phone restarted and is now in a bootloop of Team Win recovery Projects menu.
I am not able to get the phone to boot Android anymore
Request all of my senior colleagues to help me as I am a total Newbie and tried to get it fixed from the LG service center but even they couldnt do it as the process is getting stuck at the same place each time.
Recovery-Mode
Can u acsses recovery menu?
Turn phone completly off then hold volume down and home button when screen shows LG then again volume down and homebutton.
Then it should popup a white screen that says Hard Reset.
Now press Home button twice.
Now recovery should load.
Now u select wipe data factroy reset and swipe to right.
Now select reboot device.

Hello.. I am afraid that in panic i might have formatted everything with TWRP. That might include a rom file.
I tried the power volum buttom---- Got to the white screen----pressed power button to confirm format----It rebooted and got me to the same Team win screen
I also tried putting the following in the terminal command but ended up stuck at the LG boot screen Logo
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Yes I did. It asked me to reboot, so I did. and after reboot it gets stuck at the LG boot Screen logo.

To go back to completely stock you will have to do it with a kdz, there is a guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625044

Ok so the phone does show up under device manager but Windows is complaining that the drivers arent installed. I know the drivers are installed because I used the same machine to root the phone not too long ago via ADB and everything worked fine. I've tried downloading drivers from LG site and re-installing them but for some reason the phone still isnt getting recognized under device manager

Ok one of your problems will be that that version of TWRP is very outdated now and has a lot of issues,
Start by downloading this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679 and flashing it via twrp that will give you version 2.7.0.0
(You can use adb to push this file to your phone to flash or alternatively, the easiest method is either a usb otg cable or otg flashdrive then you can just put the files you need on flashdrive and plug into your phone).
Then if you want a stock based rom and don't wont to follow the instructions from the link i gave you the other day you can install this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505682
Just follow the instructions on the page, this ROM is basically completely stock with some added tweaks.
The issues you have been facing with the rom installs failing will most likely just be caused by the outdated version of twrp you are using.
Hope this helps and good luck.
