So I tried Un rooting my phone (sprint) well now I get stuck at the "x" and when I try to boot into recovery I Just get an android guy and a triangle with an exclamation mark in it, is there anything I can do?

thats the stock recovery. you can flash clockwork recovery via fastboot. or flash an official stock update.zip through the stock recovery.

Rem3Dy, it's fine haha. I'll just post it here, np
go here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nex...Recovery_Image
and download the 4.0.0.2 recovery image and save it to some directory on ur computer
then follow these steps:
1. Open up command prompt/terminal and plug in phone to computer
2. Type "adb reboot bootloader"
3. It will take you to fastboot mode. Now type "fastboot erase recovery"
4. Then type fastboot "flash recovery ____.img"
( ____ is the name of the recovery img file)
5. Now it will flash and once it says "OKAY" then scroll down using volume down into recovery and see what happens
It should work.

Im Retarded

Im seriously retarded...
I have flashed CWM on my old SGS before and had no issues... I cant for the life of me flash it on my unlocked 2.3.4 though
The directions int he dev thread seem a little skewed... Can anyone PLEASE help me with an easy step by step guide in English?
(No offense to anyone)
Thank you!!!!

I seriously agree!
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Cant I just flash that zip file that CWM is in through the charging/ recovery way? (old way) :O
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Directions seem fine to me
how to install:
Windows:
unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to D:\ ## Unzip the file to wherever you want D:\ just makes it easy because there is no folders.
open a CMD in windows. ## And navigate to your fastboot directory. For example mine is on D:\Atrix\tools\
fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img ## Once you are in the fastboot directory type fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img or let says you unzipped it to C:\users\downloads. Then you would try fastboot flash recovery C:\users\downloads\recovery-en-goapk.img
I would say if you can't figure out the instructions you are better off leaving it be. Instructions were as clear as glass.

Firstly get the correct CWM recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Then ensure that your phone still shows "unlocked" when you boot up. If it does not install the "pudding" sbf through RSD Lite again.
Ensure you have fastboot for your OS , or better still have the android SDK installed (fastboot is in the "TOOLS" folder I believe).
Extract the recovery to the root of your OS. Usually C: and as it has a long drawn out name rename it recovery.img (must have the .img extension)
Plug your phone in via the USB cable and put it into fastboot mode by holding down the volume botton while powering on the phone. When you see "fastboot" appear at the top of the screen release the volume down mutton and press volume up once. You should see "starting fasboot protocol support".
Then using a command prompt get into the folder that you put fastboot in.
If it is in the root of your C: then type cd c:\fastboot
Then simply issue the command that goes with where you put the recovery image. Assuming you renamed it recovery.img and left it in the root drive that is C: then the command will look like this.
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
Then issue the command fastboot reboot
Hope that helps.
1. Drop the recovery .img in the same folder fastboot is in
2. Shift+right click in folder > "Open command window here"
3. Type in fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-whateveritscalled.img then fastboot reboot when its done
4. ???
5. PROFIT!!
EDIT: Oh, and of course you must be in Fastboot mode for this to work

Rooted and Unlocked, will installing CWM format my device?

following some people's tips here to understand what the hell is going on and following this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIL1iTr5vto
i unlocked and rooted my phone, everything got deleted as expected and now i decided i might want to install CM 10.1 or another mod...
going into fastboot, navigating to "Recovery mode" and getting an error picture (android with red thing above his open chest) i realized
i do not have CWM installed...
1. no idea how to install it - since i did everything else with a tool that did everything automatically but not this, help
2. all the guides i've seen say this action too will erase my whole device..., is this true? and can it be avoided?

Flashing recovery only? Nope it does not wipe. If you wanna flash recovery:
1. Download cwm.IMG (place it where adb and fastboot is)
2. Connect the phone and reboot to fastboot mode
3. Open command prompt by holding shift and right clicking the mouse and selecting open command prompt here
4. Type "fastboot flash recovery NAME_OF_FILE.img

Hey kyokeun1234!
first of all ty for answering.
now im gonnna have to ask you to speak slowly so i can understand fast.
1.when you say "Flashing recovery" you mean "installing a costume recovery" - it being CWM?
2. how do i find ADB and Fastboot? since i installed it using a tookit i didnt manually place them. searching ADB with my file manager found a folder called "Android_Adb" (inside it i have power and Subsystem folders) but cant find "fastboot" anywhere - or do u mean in the same folder in the PC? - yet again, i do not have these files since i used a toolkit
3-4 will do after i understand 1-2.
after i do this, when i installed a mob (lets say CM), do i than lose all my data? and if so, if i use titanium recovery, will it install all my games+saves in a functional way on the new mod?
Don't use toolkits, it's better to learn what you're doing yourself

alright u can lock this.
all i needed to do is re-root using the same toolkit but check the V for custom recovery.

[Q]Manually updated to 4.2.2... Now locked out of adb and recovery. Help.

I'm in a bit of jam. I flashed the official zip from google to update to 4.2.2 and the flash seemed to work fine. I cleared both caches after the update
However, now I seem to be completely locked out of adb and the phone doesn't prompt me for authorization (the new feature in 4.2.2) http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...s-from-stealing-your-data-in-some-situations/ . I am showing connected but offline just like this article. I have tried multiple reboots (phone/computer) as well as different USB ports. I have not tried another computer yet.
When I try to go to recovery I get a red exclamation point dead robot as I assume the flash wiped TWRP and I can't reflash TWRP without adb/root.
I would like to try to avoid a complete internal memory factory reset from the rom which I'm not sure would work anyway.
Please help.
update your adb / sdk.

Fortunately, I was able to reflash TWRP using fastboot w/o using adb. At the bootloader, I ran
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
which got my recovery back up and running.
I decided to do a factory wipe and even after that adb was showing as offline and not prompting. I am very confident that your suggestion of updating the platform tools is going to fix my issue.
Thank you.
Locked on 4.2.2
My Nexus 7 is locked on 4.2.2. I tried to Unlock with Nexus Root Toolkit and I get "adb offline". I did the command "adb devices" and the device showed up, but when I tried to unlock again, it gets stuck on "checking adb status". I updated SDK and copied the new adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc into the platform-tools folder and it still doesnt work. So basically my oem is locked on 4.2.2 and I can get adb or the toolkit to work properly.. Is there a way to downgrade back to 4.2.1 or get the Wugfresh Nexus Toolkit to actually unlock my Nexus 7 on 4.2.2??
Yea, there's a way to downgrade if you have a nandroid and know what you're doing. The toolkit will need to be updated, and it helps to know how to do it manually first.

Basically the same thing just happened to me. I updated to the newest android sdk then followed the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
I had to restore the complete stock image first, then I sideloaded the update. I made sure all of my files were in C:\Development\sdk\platform-tools (thats the directory I used, yours may be different). Open a command prompt on the platform-tools folder and run fastboot devices, if you see a number there you are good to go. Just follow the steps in the link above to flash each file.

I'm going to try this. Can i just type "fastboot devices" in the command prompt and it'll work?
EDIT: I found a simple fix for anyone with this problem: CREATE A BACKUP FIRST, THIS WILL ERASE EVERY THING
1. Go into the platform-tools and open the command prompt by pressing Shift + Right Click.
2. Type in "adb reboot bootloader"
3. Then type in "fastboot oem unlock"
4. WALA! It'll take a while to start up, don't worry. Set up your device and that's all.

That's the point; we want to be unlocked and rooted on 4.2.2. I previously thought that in order to get an unlocked and rooted Nexus, I'd have to be on 4.2.1, unlock and root, then upgrade to 4.2.2 but that's not the case. I just unlocked and rooted via ADB since the Nexus Root Toolkit wasn't working for 4.2.2. I (and probably others) kept getting the "adb offline" error even after allowing USB debugging between the device and PC. Point is, if you're on 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader, you'll need to unlock and root using ADB commands. I don't know how many people have this issue but if someone requests it, I'll just post the steps on how to unlock and root 4.2.2 jelly bean using the ADB commands.
Re: [Q]Manually updated to 4.2.2... Now locked out of adb and recovery. Help
What if I'm on 4.2.2 completely stock but with an unlocked boot loader. I get the adb offline message when I try to root using a toolkit. How would I go about rooting?

You should now see a green Android lying on its back.

Put that in your fastboot folder in pc. (In your SDK/Platform Tools)
Right click in your fastboot folder whilst holding shift. And click "open command prompt here"
Now Type:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-grouper.img
If all goes well carry on:
Power off nexus
Power on whilst holding volume down.
Should be at green android laying on back again.
Use volume till you see "Enter Recovery"
Enter TWRP.
Go to Advanced, "Mount USB"
Now, download a ROM of your choice. Stock or Custom
Copy it to your Nexus on PC.
Go back to TWRP on nexus, go to "Install"

hmm... can you try setting the current status to "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and do the Flash Stock + Unroot? might be able to get you back to square one.
if you can get into twrp you might be able to run adb commands from the recovery even if you didnt have it enabled before using the toolkit.

not sure what you're trying to do, but if you just want to get the device up and running again..
- Download recovery with sideload
- Go into fastboot
- Use CMD to navigate to your Nexus Toolkit folder,
- Execute " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ", assuming the image you downloaded was renamed to recovery
- Go into recovery, choose flash with sideload
- Back to CMD, type "adb-toolkit sideload *zipnamehere.zip*" , assuming your adb is named adb-toolkit
reboot, profit.

It says fastboot is not recognized as an internal command
In twrp, it keeps saying starting adb sideload feature
i posted this in another thread. try this...
1. First make sure that you have fastboot driver installed.
2. Power down your Nexus 4 (hold the power button until it shuts off) before rebooting into fastboot mode. You can do this by holding down the the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously.
3. Connect your device to your computer. Open up a terminal or command prompt, and navigate to the folder containing the fastboot program.
4. Type fastboot devices into the command line, and you should then see your device’s ID, which means fastboot is setup correctly. if not, check to make sure Google Nexus 4 drivers are installed correctly.
5. now open Nexus 4 toolkit and Flash Google Factory stock Rom. Once you are back to stock continue on from there...
Good Luck!

my bad, it's fastboot-toolkit. But since you have a recovery with sideload already, just download a rom that's working, put it in your nexus 4 toolkit folder, rename it to flash.zip, and type in CMD
"adb-toolkit sideload flash.zip"
Thank you all for your help. What I had to end up doing was extracting the factory image and flash boot, system, and use data IMG files manually with nexus 4 toolkit. My Nexus 4 is alive. Again thank you all very much
