To boot into the bootloader without adb, make sure the power is off, then hold both volume buttons and press and hold the power button, thats essentially all three buttons at once. it will immediately launch the bootloader and you can then choose to go into recovery, or reboot and so on.

What's the difference between this and the one from ROM Manager? I plan to purchase a Nexus 7 and flash the MCR ROM today. And the instructions for that ROM say to install it via ROM Manager. Thanks.

Those instructions are wrong, i'll fix them.

Any luck with the script Paul tried this command adb shell mount /system && adb shell rm /system/recovery*'

And I am getting message system cannot be found however the adb shell mount command works on its own but when I put the full command in I get system cannot be found ( I take it its all one long command and not seperate ).

Still getting the black Google screen whenever I try to enter recovery via boot loader. Running this cwm and modaco ROM.

BTW thanks for the vplayer tip it rocks on the nexus 50% off too.

After flashing this, I get a picture of the Android with open hatch with a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

EDIT: That looks like stock recovery. So, this interim CMW didn't flash after all, despite it flashing correctly:

C:\root>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-nexus7-modaco.img
sending 'recovery' (6182 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY

Worked like a charm!

use volume buttons to navigate to recovery then select with power button.

Could you not just use the recovery builder from koush?

Boot into recovery and do 'adb shell mount /system && adb shell rm /system/recovery*' and you'll be set. I will add a script to the recovery to make it do it for you.

P

On other devices I have used there is a file that executes on boot (bat file for lack of better terms) that re-writes the stock recovery partition. Simply renaming this file .bak insures that any custom recovery remains persistent after a reboot. Is it the same for this device?

If so, can you point us in the right direction of that file as I would rather not delete the entire "recovery" directory. OR, can we simply rename that directory?

Thanks for your contribution!!
