Hi when i flash clockwork using rom manager i can boot into clockwork, but once i reboot and try to get into recovery, i get the triangle with the exclamation point?
There is already a solution for this search the thread. The mods will delete your thread. You have to rename the recovery script file so that the custom recovery will stick and not erase

This seems to be a kind of a "failsafe mechanism".
The easiest way to boot into clockwork seems to be:
Boot the Nexus S into fastboot mode
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img (command line, Nexus S connected via USB)
Rename the recovery.sh file in the etc folder and your good to go.

Since you've unlocked your bootloader, you can get into download mode by turning off phone, holding volume rocker up, plug into usb of computer.
After that, follow this guide step by step for success.

I'm having the exact same problem. How did you solve this? (I'm on a stock, rooted, Nexus S)
As posted, us Odin, first you need to download Odin and the rom to use with it, I think the only one available is a 2.3.1 100% stock, I'll try to get the link for you, on the phone, power it off, and hold down the up/down volume then connect your USB to the phone, you phone should indicate downloading ., from then follow the info posted, I'll get you the link.

Hi
I followed this tutorial (http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/) to root my Nexus S (GTi-9023). Like a bunch of other people on this site my phone got stuck on the "Google with a pad lock" boot screen (I should have come to xda first). So to get past this i downloaded the stock rom (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062) and extracted boot.img and then flashed the stock boot image and booted with it as below.
>fastboot flash boot boot.img
>fastboot boot boot.img
This fixed fixed my booting problem and i then used rom manager to install clockwork recovery. I can boot into clockwork recovery from rom manager but not from fastboot. i get an android with an exclamation mark. Any idea why and/or how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak, then reflash the recovery.
DONT use rom manager to flash the recovery it hardly ever works [for me],
If you have 'Android SDK' and 'ADB' then,Download a decent recovery file and place it in your 'Android-SDK/tools" directory, then go to your 'cmd' [command prompt] and navigate to your android-sdk/tools directory ,,example below.
''cd C:/android-sdk/tools'' [cd meaning 'change directory']
Then type, "adb devices" it should list your devices ith a load of numbers and letters, if it does then proceed, if not re-plug your device into the USB [in the bootloader]
Then type,
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and let it do its thing. [if it does not work , make sure you renamed you recovery file to 'recovery.img'
Hope this helps!!

The problem is that with the stock rom the stock recovery gets flashed after boot up (by /etc/install-recovery.sh). Search for install-recovery.sh in the nexus s forums.
Hi,
I unlocked my bootloader today and I just flashed the latest CWM Recovery via Fastboot.
However, when I try to enter Android Recovery I get the Android with the white triangle and exclamation point.
I saw a similar thread but did not see a resolution. Do I need to flash the Gingerbread boot.img via Fastboot?
Also, I read you have to delete a file somewhere or else the default recovery restores itself every reboot? I did not delete any such file, and when I unlocked my bootloader, it obviously wiped my data.
Any ideas how I can get into recovery and flash me a dang ROM?

I used the Nexus 7 toolkit to flash the latest CWM recovery. If I boot into fastboot and choose recovery mode it just hangs on the Google boot animation. I can boot to it from the toolkit though. Anyone else experience this/know what I did wrong?

You need to have a USB cable connected to the Nexus 7, and if you're in fastboot it'll load into recovery. Known bug

It's a problem with the boot loader. For now you will need to be plugged into a computer to go into recovery. It doesn't even have to have drivers or anything installed.
Plug in tablet into computer
Use power and volume buttons to get into recovery
And no, this problem won't be fixed by flashing twrp because it deals with the boot loader.
Just boot to recovery from Rom manager or similar.
I can confirm that quick boot does work to get you into recovery.

Same problem
I've read in other threads that deleting the stock recovery, or modifying it's filename, will fix this problem. Does anyone know if this is true? I can boot recovery through Rom manager or through the power menu. The only worry I have is if I ever get stuck in a bootloop, or brick. It is good to know about the usb trick to load CWM, thanks for that.
Flash TWRP, and use an app like quick boot to reboot into recovery.

I use TWRP and boot to recovery through the roms power menu. I've been very happy with TWRP though, I use a recovery because of stability and performance. I could really care less if it's touch or if it has themes, so when I recommend TWRP it's because I've been using it so long on my transformer prime and nexus 7 and it has done nothing but work exactly like it should.

Weird because today I tried to get into CWR for the first time since I rooted, and it wouldn't work. I got the red ! triangle [sticking out of the green robot].
I plugged it into my laptop.. [and btw I was holding vol UP/DOWN, press power, in the bootloader then selecting 'Recovery' then <Power>] and this time it showed the "Google" and the unlocked lock.. but then booted into the Android OS.
So I flash TWRP [using Ubuntu, and $ fastboot install recovery {TWRP-filename.img}. And what do you know. It booted perfectly into recovery.
So how do you explain that?

The only possible ways to boot into recovery from a working system partition is by either using an app that reboots for you/terminal command.
To reboot from bootloader/button combination you need to have a USB connection otherwise it will freeze at the Google logo. This is bootloader related and not recovery related as any recovery (stock/cwm/twrp) show the same behavior.
You can try fully powering off the tablet and try booting by button combo and you will see it freezes. Using the power adapter will completely freeze your bootloader if you try, so you require a USB connection to a computer to get into recovery.
For me to boot into recovery , I have to use the tool kit all the time. Is that what everyone is doing??? Because every time I go to fastboot and choose recovery (with my N7 plugged on the usb) I get the Android with the exclamation point.

I had the same thing, but I flashed TWRP and it works most of the time. let me know if you try it.
Hi,
I was trying to root my nexus 4 using this tutorial. I got to the part where I needed to get into recovery, I hold down both the volume keys and the power button. I got into fastboot mode and selected 'Recovery mode' which is supposed to launch Clockworkmod, am I right? right after I hit the power button to get into recovery a lying bot with a red triangle and an exclamation mark inside it appeared. I let the device to lay down like this for a little bit and it simply rebooted to it's normal state.
When I installed Clockwordmod it came up just fine the first time so I have no clue of what went wrong..
My boot loader is unlocked and I can see that while in fastboot mode.
Any kind of help is appreciated!

Did you flash recovery in fastboot or with a Toolkit?
In fastboot : fastboot flash recovery recovery-touch-mako.img. recovery-touch-mako is what i renamed the CWM file. Don`t add .img at the end of the name, just recovery-touch-mako or whatever you name it.
I think that you just booted CWM.
The droid with red triangle ils the default recovery. You can flash CWM by typing this : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Just rename the cwm image in recovery.img and drag it to the ADB/FASTBOOT folder.
I hope it'll help you
