ROM Manager is an app (available from the Play Store), which lets you easily boot directly into CWM (the recovery tool, which has some other tools besides just recovery. You can backup, fix permissions etc.).

So for now, you can use that app to easily boot the device into the CWM mode.

But you are looking for what I personally am looking for, the button sequences that you use from a powered off state.

On my Samsung Galaxy S II, I hold the power button while holding the volume up button and then I am brought directly into the CWM recovery mode.

On my Asus TF300T, I hold the power button while holding the volume down button and then I am brought directly into the CWM recovery. Oh wait, I don't have CWM installed on the Asus, just root. I didn't want to void my warranty. But I believe the button sequence is correct for the TF300T.

Now I (like you) am looking for the proper button sequence to boot directly into CWM recovery mode. I think it's something very unusable and complicated from what I remember reading once. And if what I read was truly about booting into CWM recovery mode, man, it's very hard and I think dangerous?

So could someone who has the correct knowledge on this information please either provide a link to it, or explain it.

Thank you!

You can download a free tool from the Google Play Store called Quick Boot. The basic app is free, and while there is a pro version, the free one works just fine, but you do have to have root. There's a list of options (Reboot, Fastboot, Bootloader), and Recovery as well. Launch the app, select Recovery (it'll ask for Superuser permissions at first run, so select yes), and it'll boot into CWM.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] LondonLion:
Knew i shouldn't have spent ages downloading games and apps...knew i would need root sooner or later lol. Thanks for the one click :victory:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rlanza1054:
I was already using Rom tool box to do that. So I'm OK.

But I wanted to know how to perform the manual button push because if I have issues and the tablet can't boot, using a software option would require the tablet be up and running.

If you need to run recovery, you would need to get into the Clockwork tool to be able to flash a recovery file.

Accessing CWM

Thanks for this tool. Any problem i once had i have figured out. Awesome tool
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rlanza1054:
Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this but I had read somewhere that a package used to place the stock had a setting incorrect with the file size.

Basically my issue is, I'm already running out of space on the 16gb model.

I deleted some of my clockwork backups and my podcast files but I should have plenty of room.

Is there anyway to figure out if the remaining space is being reported incorrectly?

Here is a screenshot of what the Nexus 7 is calculating.

Thanks

I think what your asking about is the cold start method. Hold the UP & Down Volume keys at the same time, while doing so, press the on/off button until the system starts in recovery. NOTE: This method only works if the Nexus 7 is plugged in to a computer USB port. You don't have to keep it on the computer once your in recovery, but it has to see the port to get there.

No, I don't know why... I shoot guns and repair electronics, I don't design Android stuff...:cowboy:

Stuck on downloading boot.img

My process seems to be stuck on downloading the insecure boot.img... Should I start over?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] m.sabra:
what insecure boot.img ?

the tool use clockworkmod recovery and flashing su binary to root,no boot img involved.

anyway starting over would be the best option and read the instructions carefully and assure you have all drivers,Happy rooting :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] unomedmen1:
Just want to say that this rooting method is flawless. Even if you don't read the OP instructions right, just read what's on the screen. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PantechBurstOwner:
Didnt work the first two times but after a few more tries it worked perfectly thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] unomedmen1:
yeah it technically should work on the 1st attempt as it did for me, assuming you have the correct driver installed (they are provided for you). I'm pretty familiar with this method as i used a one click root on my nexus lol.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dropline:
I bet 1st try both drivers did not get installed. You need to wait for install in both modes to install, I actually had to manually install the correct driver for the abd one, but when drivers where all straight it worked 1st try.

I sorta wish I tried the manual root method. I have another tegra3 based tablet and nothing out for root yet. :( sorry about being off topic on 2nd part.

I am having a problem with getting the pdanet driver to work on my pc. The Tablet is hooked up and has usb debugging on, but the driver wont install because it cant find the device? Help please?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wr8_utd:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Trynium:
Same issue with my Nexus 7 !

I tried to remove the driver that Windows 7 installed when I pluged the tablet on my PC, but pdanet soft still don't find my device... :silly:

EDIT : I found the solution : I had to activate USB Debug Mode in developers options !
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PantechBurstOwner:
So I found out why mine bricked, I guess I screwed up while installing drivers and it was pretty sketchy, so being the idiot that I am I tried to flash a rom, I went into a bootloop and I got pissed so I opened it up and tried to take out the battery which I guess doesnt come out even with me holding the battery in my hand, I think its connected by wiring. So I let it die and flashed stock and relocked the bootloader. After that I quit trying to root so I used it constantly for about 3 more weeks before the screen lift issue went ape sh1t on the responsiveness so I returned it and unfortunately but not shocking, they were sold out and wouldn't get another shipment for about two weeks, I am now way to busy and after dropping a grand on books for school ill have to wait a bit to get another, ill probably wait for a 4g version

Hi thanks for the toolkit its working fine.

this probably a noob question but I'm successfully rooted my nexus with supersu.

I just don't know how do I go to CWM recovery, when I hold down the volume down button and power it just went to the uboot page,

it is unlocked tho, I thought it just suppose to go to CWM.

And when I tried changing it to Recovery Mode on the uboot it just stuck there with the google logo loading.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] $wissdroid:
Install 'Rom Manager' from Play Store and choose 'Install/Update CWM Recovery' .

Hey guys,

Does anyone of you have the same problem as I do? My tablet does not have recovery-from-boot.p!:(

Did anyone of you see or hear something about rooting a device without the recovery-from-boot.p file? The rooting tool is able to unlock my device, install Superuser, that's it. Root doesn't work and that's basically that...

Any help?:(

Stuck at <waiting for device>...what do I do?

I updated to 4.2 using the zip file and updating it from within CWM. It worked fine, but I lost root. I have the donate version of the toolkit, which is up to date now, but I can't get it to root the device. It is waiting for ADB, even though I have USB Debugging enabled. I have also reinstalled the drivers from the toolkit, and tried unplugging and replugging the cable, even in different USB ports. I've tried everything I know, but can't get past this...what do I do? Here is a screenshot of the toolkit (I didn't downgrade the bootloader in this image because I've done it in previous attempts already):

as i said before you can check the number of download and the virus status in the mirror site,xda would have removed this a long time ago if it was a virus,the tool structure is simple,it contains the ".exe" file which is a compiled bat file,adb,fastboot,cwm,drivers,and su binaries so there is nothing suspicious in it.

Oh dear...

I've tried this on my 4.21 N7. It didn't work properly, just reset everything, I don't mind that, it's just that I can't factory reset anymore as it appears the tablet cant boot into recovery mode...

I've tried to launch recovery from the bootloader, but when I try to, it just boots into android.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] treIII:
Thank you r this tool kit. I'm a noob and used a super wipe script that totally erased everything from my tablet other than boot loader and recovery. I reinstalled 4.2.1 and rooted it then used voodoo ota root keeper. Accepted the update and now im back to 4.2.2 rooted. Thanks a million.

False positive. It is because it is an "exploit" but only for Android. It can't harm your computer. And do you really think that the mods would let anyone upload malware on XDA?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thecarlsoncrew:
I just got a Nexus 7 tablet. I used this method to unlock the bootloader, root, and install SuperSU and TWRP. It worked like a champ, and I thought I was good to go for installing all my apps/data from my previous tablet using the update.zip files I created with TiBu. I have the zip files in place on my Nexus 7, but I can't boot into recovery to install them.

Using both the manual boot method (Power + Vol down) and from inside apps (TiBu, ROM Toolbox, Quickboot) I can get into the bootloader menu just fine, but when I choose to go into Recovery Mode from there it simply goes to the white "Google" screen and then back into the normal boot process. I never get to the dead-looking Android guy with the exclamation mark.

How do I boot into recovery so I can install the update.zip files?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] dparrothead1:
Plug in to your PC using the USB cable and try again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thecarlsoncrew:
Tried that, didn't work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] graydiggy:
If you have root go grab goo manager from the play store. Run it and give it root permission. Then hit your menu button when it comes up and hit install openrecoveryscript. You should be good to go once it finishes.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thecarlsoncrew:
Success! Looks like the recovery didn't take the first time - I actually flashed TWRP again through ROM Toolbox and everything worked perfectly. Same problem, different solution, but ultimately...thanks for your help!

I see no sign of this being infected. The exe is not packed (I would guess someone making a virus would pack it). After disassembling it and looking at the assembly, there appears to be no sign of malicious assembly. Overall this looks very clean and safe and props to the creator for making this nice script. I have used this before and it works perfectly.

If you are still not convinced. I would be happy to post all the imports and functions the program uses.

It was bubble dock for starters, which basically took over my entire PC. Uninstalled chrome, changed homepages, added startup programs, auto playing video and audio ads on desktop, disabled installation of spybot or reinstallation of chrome.

Im not sure what happened, I am a decent, safe computer user. Never got my PC mucked up that bad ever. Completely wiped HDD and did OS reinstall. Had a few drinks in me too :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] stevecaboose:
Im sorry to hear that your computer got infected. Happens to the best of us. I'm very confident that the cause was not this specific file. Sometimes it will take days or weeks before a virus shows itself on your computer. Its possible you may have downloaded something or clicked on something without even realizing it. Now that we've been so used to clicking on things our muscle memory. I know ive done this a few times where I click on something then I say to myself "why did i just click on that?". My guess would be that something infected your computer a while ago and decided to come out around the time you downloaded this. It would have been nice if the original creator would have left it as a bat file. Then this could be cleared up very quickly. If you're interested in looking at the assembly I can post it here. As I said in my previous post, after analyzing the assembly and looking at the imports of the exe there is nothing suspicious. The program is not importing any functions that connect to the internet. If you need any more help or have any questions feel free to post here or message me.
