Can't get into recovery from bootloader

Hi all. So I got myself into a boot loop and that usually isn't a big deal on a nexus. Power off. Boot into bootloader, and select recovery. Boom. well I am unable to get into recovery that way. I can reboot into recovery from a rom no problem. And I can adb into it with reboot recovery. Just not through the bootloader like usual.
Any thoughts?

Can't use an app if in boot loop.
You will need a computer and type
Adb reboot recovery
Or if you want bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader

Interesting. Haven't heard that. But would make sense. Twrp and cwm both wouldn't.
And yeah, fastboot commands work fine. So I wasn't lost. Just might not always be near my comp

If you get caught in a boot loop, here is how you need to get into recovery with the Nexus 7.
Hold volume up, volume down and power until it boots into bootloader.
Plug into USB on your Windows Computer.
Open Command prompt (in fastboot folder)
type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
It will now reboot into bootloader. You can now unplug the USB, scroll down to Reboot recovery, press power button, and it will reboot to recovery.
(Please note you have to be unlocked, rooted with a custom recovery to do this!!!)

Update, you don't have to use fastboot, or even have drivers installed. You just have to be plugged in to any comp usb. Mac windows whatever. Then you can enter recovery from bootloader. Wierd huh

Has this bug been fixed? Or will ever be? Need a cwm update or is it a Google problem?

Bootloader problem apparently. All recoveries, including stock can't access. Hopefully someone or Google will fix eventually

Doesn't work for me, when I do that, instead of hanging at the Google logo indefinitaly, it eventually reboots (crashes?) and boots up normally into Android.
But I'll try the "fastboot reboot-bootloader" while being in bootloader thing, if that works, good enough for me.
Yet yes, I hope they'll bring out a fixed bootloader - but I don't really think they will.

So there is still nothing we can do with that? ;c

Well custom rom's advanced power menu works, trinity kernel toolbox, goo manager I think, and apps like that all work. But if you bork it into a bootloop you'll need a USB connection.
Until there's an update from google or someone writes a new bootloader that's how it will be.

If it helps...
After much testing (and after update)
IT HAS TO HAVE USB when VOL DN +VOL UP + ON (only) from off
Later insertions do not work.
I bet it is not a bug, I bet they wrote code for external power check during entry to recovery, etc. Thus, I also bet it is deliberate, NOT a bug, and will not go away.
There are instructions all over the web about when to plug in, on mine it has to (only) be at VD, VU, +ON.
I made a list of operations and screen responses as I tested, if of value...

Iam using trinity tool to boot into recover. It is working fine.

I just had this problem. 2 hours ago I never had this issue.
This started happening when I flash Franco's kernel.
Before I can boot to recovery by going to bootloader then choose recovery. Now I can't!
I even flash stock / re-locked and it still a no go.
I can only boot from recovery thru fastboot or while inside Android.
WTH!
EDIT: Could it be related to the build?
Here are my findings:
a) I used my mom-in-law's nexus 7 stock, never rooted = c8O = It DOES not boot to recovery from hardware buttons (bootloader then choose recovery) - but It boots to recovery from bootloader only when it is connected via USB
b) I have a C9O which was working before, but I flashed to STOCK (recovery using the Toolkit) then It can't boot anymore - so it might not be Franco's kernel
c) Friend's C9O stock, never rooted = CAN boot to recovery without having to plug in the USB.
Weird .. so maybe google will fix this.

Had this problem last night after flashing the latest AOKP. Kept getting stuck at the google screen and couldnt get into recovery at all. I downloaded the Nexus toolkit and was back working in 2 minutes. Highly recommend to anyone who has a similar problem

which thread?? what do you mean by this?

Flash back your original hboot, or the ge one if you didn't back up
I hate to say if you don't know how to change back then you don't need to mess with the eng hboot, it's only for developmental purposes.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

please provide some details.. how do i flash the stock hboot?? its only booting into fastboot mode and when i type fastboot oem rebootRUU to flash the hboot it goes to a black screen (no htc logo) and no fastboot says waiting for devices

See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
In Post 2 you will see downloads for stock hboot. The ENG hboot might not display the HTC logo in RUU mode. Just follow normal process and try to flash the stock hboot back.

Try fastboot reboot recovery

Thank you for the TWRP with other device, but new to HTC butterfly S.
Encounter some problem with data.ext.win and the win000 file with special permission Set UID and Set CID, which not allow me to copy to my PC or even using TWRP file manger to copy to external_sd card.
Also, does not allow me to backup to external_sd.
Please advise if i did something wrong.

yoongkw i didnt get your problem..explain what exactly you want to do...

Anyone tried installing busybox? I kept getting error and reboots.
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using Tapatalk HD

Sorry. Posted this question in the wrong section.
Basically wanna copy out the phone's TWRP backup folder to PC to save up the stock unroot version.
And was not able to do that due to Set UID and CID in permission, something with the kernel security.

yes, i'm using it. the one problem i've had is not being able to backup the cache. nonetheless, i've backed up and restored ROMS on my my S using TWRP many times without issue.

I want to do the tutorial, but would like to backup my stock recovery first. Is it possible?
