Maybe search for another tutorial, reinstall your drivers or do the other things that are suggested if you search for your problem.

It's one of the "unlockable" models. Use the "unlock-relock" tool or the unlock script from the unlock guide.

If this helps,whenever I boot into recovery now,a red text saying LGE SECURITY ERROR: BOOT IMAGE or something like that

So you flashed a recovery before unlocking?

If your device doesn't boot at all, do a kdz reflash. If you can boot to the system, use one of the methods mentioned above; you only need root and USB debugging on to use it. If you don't have root but can't boot to recovery, try the "root many android" method from the index, that might do it. If it still fails, do a kdz reflash, then start again (root - unlock - recovery)

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

Do you have ADB and fastboot software installed in your PC? Either have that or download Android SDK. You can boot your phone via ADB command lines.

Can you reach the boot menu by pressing the volume down key while powering on?
Otherwise, try to check if fastboot is able to see your device and flash some new boot and system image

Yes, installed correct. it show up in the Device Manager list.
Anyway, i go to try this driver. Thanks. Let me know u
hmm. unlucky. Still nothing. Windows take a signal when connecting phone shows on fastboot menu => fastboot usb and adb mode say error device not found:crying:
i scanned my drivers using driver genius v11, i saw android driver named Samsung_Android_4.0_usbdrivers. now i think its something wrong with my boot.img?
When you see fastboot usb, and you type fastboot devices in a terminal, what does it say? ADB only works in recovery or when your ROM is booted, so just focus on fastboot.
it say when N1 is fastboot usb mode "error device not found". thanks for advance. tomorrow i'll be ask more.

Started cmd.exe typed adb shell => adb mode showed HT9**********. Now problem is wont boot. What i do now? :silly:
i hope u can enter fastboot usb mode. if so try flashing any recovery.img

If you mean the caveat that you unlocked bootloader, use the information to a htcmania forum, and as if you can not make a link to there without censor me,
is simple, get files
1. - Fastboot.exe
2. - logo_signed (must be obtained from the firmware, exploring the zip file)
sorry for my bad English
Donwload files
http://db.tt/tak1LsuU
note: logo_signed file is of the firmware: Brasil.en.BR
Procedure
1. - Put the downloaded files in a folder in the root "C" on your pc, (I call this folder Android for example)
2.- Put the phone in fastboot mode (power button and Vol - squeezing them a few seconds until the screen fastboot mode) and connect with USB the phone to pc
3.- Opening a cmd screen, we stand there, I'm in cmd C:\Android\
4. - cheking with command fastboot devices
5. - Performed the command fastboot flash ulogo logo_signed
6. - Conducted after ending command fastboot reboot and that's it
7.- enjoy

I need some big help. I was having issue with my battery and phone powering off when not on a charger. I thought change the OS with Android N beta could help me with the issue..

Well, try first doing a factory reset from the recovery mode.
If it doesn't help, just unlock it and flash everything again.

Google makes OTA update zips available that can be flashed even if OEM Unlock is disabled. Assuming you are still able to access the bootloader, download the latest Nexus 6 Android 6.0.1 OTA and copy it to internal storage. Enter recovery and flash. This will wipe your entire system, but your phone will be operational again.
From there, you need to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader, and then you can try installing the N preview again.
