Flash the custom recovery again (via fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile.img) before flashing the stock rom (or flash 2.3.x via Odin from www.samfirmware.com).
If you don't rename (need rooted phone and a file explorer that allows read/write access, eg Super Manager app) "install-recovery.sh" in system/etc the recovery will always be gone after each reboot.

Once you hit recovery from fastboot, you will go to the second screen with the triangle and exclamation mark. Hold the power button down and slide your fingure up and down on the volume keys. You will then enter the stock recovery... Hope that helps!

Does this prompt you before wiping?
Does it wipe the sdcard?

I just installed it to see if there was a prompt before wiping and IT DOES NOT ASK BEFORE IT WIPES. (Not yelling just want to be clear lol) Not sure on the wipe data/factory reset if it does wipe the sdcard. Not in the mood of transfering all my files over if it does. If it's the same as the one on the phone it may not because that asks you if you want to format usb storage. (Don't quote me on that either) Hope that helps!!!
For anyone who wants to know the options they are;
reboot system now
apply update from /sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

help nexus bricked

then after flashed cyanogen 5.0.4.1 with baked goods the phone can not load more than the system then I wanted to do a wipe and then a restore with the recovery of Amon_Re but the phone did not enter recovery more! I have left the x colored with the sign of the lock at the bottom ... how can I do?
sorry for my bad english
p.s. i can use fastboot and the bootloader is unlocked
Huh? If you can still boot into bootloader, it's probably not bricked.
I'm not sure I understand you, either. Did you flash the recovery or not? Do you mean that when you tried to navigate to recovery, the phone didn't? Idgi.

i flashed recovery...but today when i tried to do a wipe then phone didin't go in recovery
Have you turned off the phone, take out the battery and insert it again if you must, then hold the trackball down while pushing the start button on top of the phone?
If you get into a white menu press the start button again, wait for a while, then scroll down to "Recovery" with the volume down button, then press the start button. After a while the Amon_Ra Recovery console starts and you can do whatever you want.

as long as you can still get into bootloader, all is not lost.
you may need to start from afresh,
try a full wipe,
reflash the original images
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
then you should be good to go,
Problably a bad download. Try downloading amonRa recovery again and fastboot flash recovery recovery you know the rest.If that doesn't work type adb reboot recovery.
Hi
Don't worry it is not bricked. Exact senario happened to me yesterday and this is what I did to correct the problem:
-I left the phone as it was (X+Padlock screen) till battery was discharged.
-Put it on charger
-Press "volume down+Power button" at the same time.
-That will take you to "Recovery" console.
-Restore
-Wipe
-Reflash
My N1 is working like new with the Desire Rom (MoDaCo).
...why do that (discharge battery completely etc) when you can just use an adb command to reboot into recovery?

Exactly. And if you were worried about some strange battery state, simply wipe the battery stats from recovery.
So orig poster, what ever came from this?
go into bootloader then type
fastboot boot recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img
If you can get into the bootloader that should work. if not then you somehow got a damanged recovery image so type after you redownload it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img

Cannot Enter Recovery (CWM)

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 followed these steps:
Flashing CWM Recovery via Fastboot -
1.Download the latest CWM recovery from Downloads section (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-olympus.img)
2.Power off phone
3.Put phone into fastboot (Power + Vol Down Button)
4.Press Volume Up button to select Fastboot
5.Connect phone via USB cable
6.Open Command Prompt from your fastboot directory
7.Type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-olympus.img
8.Type "fastboot reboot"
9.Your phone will reboot normally
Also, how screwed would I be if I don't backup my PDS? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138220

Can you get to the bootloader screen so you can use fastboot? If so try flashing the TWRP recovery, it's a great recovery.

I can press the power button and both volumes and it gets me to download mode... from there, every option i try just gets me back to recovery. when i press start, it sends me to recovery. when i press shut down and then turn it on - recovery. when i press restart bootloader, it still takes me to recovery afterwards. wtf happened here man? never seen this before.

If you can at least get to download/fastboot mode, either get the stock recovery.img file or extract the recovery.img file from a custom_recover.zip, such as CMW or TWRP and place it in the directory where you have the fastboot util on your Windows PC, plug in the device into your Windows PC. Then type the folowing in a Windows Command prompt(without the quotes): "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Once that finishes then try rebooting back to recovery.
If you that doesn't work you may have a damaged bootloader, you can try extracting the bootloader(bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img) from the stock ROM and flashing it with the following command: "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img" then you can type: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to reboot directly to the bootloader.

This happened to me yesterday.
Step 1 - hold down the power+volume up+volume down
Step 2 - plug up USB cable and use fastboot to flash the "touch" recovery version. Usebthe method as before, you might need to point your machine to the "naked driver" in dev section to get windows to see the fastboot device driver.
Step 3 - once you are in touch recovery you can just use the touchscreen instead of power button

You can just "adb reboot" from any computer with working adb and drivers.
This needs to not be flashed by default from Rom Manager until they get it taken care of. Twrp and cwm touch work just fine.

Seriously. Can we please sticky a thread or something that says CWM isn't stable on the nexus 10 yet. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble.
I had the same issue get rid of crappy cwm and flash twrp, flash it by downloading the 1.3 nexus 10 rootkit selecting option 6 i believe with your n10 connected to your pc, it will fix your issue

I was able to fix it by re-flashing CW touch. thanks guys!

Android N Update Failure: Stock Recovery Corrupted, OEM Unlock NOT Enabled

Signed up to Android N BETA, downloaded all okay. Rebooted and now into an eternal bootloop.
I can get into FASTBOOT mode okay, but when I select Recovery I get the Android passed out with a red exclamation mark on it's belly. "No command" is displayed.
As the phone is not unlocked I cannot flash a new recovery or new image.
I seem to be locked out of flashing a new recovery and new image. I tried to format cache and userdata but not allowed to as the phone is locked.
Is there a way to unlock the phone via command line? I don't believe there is, right?
How can I proceed? Any ideas?

Try this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/help-unbricking-nexus-6p-t3382895. Here is a link to the actual zip file you will need posted by @matt1515 https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../53bd5f816ce0706903d1a69d50bca6cd4f52b800.zip
You should be able to download that file and adb sidle load it to get back to stock marshmallow. I would strongly suggest unlocking your bootloader when you get back up and running.
Good luck.

Thanks but adb does not recognize the device while in fastboot. I can't get to a recovery because it is corrupted.

I am pretty sure your recovery isn't corrupt. That's how it should look. On the screen with dead android and exclamation mark, press volume up or down to fully boot into recovery. Your only way of resolving this is through recovery, which is already linked before.

That's the way stock recovery works. When the 'No command' screen appears, press and hold the power button, and tap the volume up button once. You will then be able to access stock recovery. In there, try wiping the cache partition.
See if this fixes it. If it doesn't, go back to the stock recovery and do a factory reset.
Be warned that a factory reset will erase everything on your device, including internal storage.

Ran EasyRecowvery 1.3b3. Now phone doesn't boot to any recovery. (including stock!)

After attempting to use this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/lg-h918-t-mobile-one-click-recowvery-t3491969
It appears that I do not have any recovery installed or it appears I don't have a bootable recovery. Previously I got the custom TWRP recovery to work but the installer went ahead before I was able to wipe data. Now I cannot even boot into stock recovery. even the command "adb reboot recovery" just makes the phone start up normally. Volume down + Power makes the phone start normally as well.
attempting to run the tool again will cause it to deny flashing the custom IMG file as it tells me my recovery is already modified and won't continue unless I turn off verification (highly ill-advised) It refuses to flash TWRP.
At least I have a working phone and not a boot looping brick but is there a way to get stock recovery back just so I can try again? I have been told I need to re-lock my bootloader and hopefully that will restore everything back to the way it was so I can start again.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If it is the stock recovery it will only format your system to how it is out of the box.
If it goes into TWRP then you'll know.

That doesn't work for me on my Freedom Mobile H915 with a locked bootloader. I only ask how to without ADB because I want to help someone else that bricked their device upgrading the firmware to factory reset it and/or wiping cache hoping it'll help.
