Hi guys,
First, thanks in advance for your help. I have a question or clarification. I did try numerous Google searches as well as searches in these forums and I could not find a clear answer. The question is as follows.
How do I get rid of the custom recovery and go back to the factory recovery?
I found an article and completed all steps with the exception of “locking” the boot loader. When I press the power button and volume button, I still get the TWRP Recovery. Would locking the boot loader disable the TWRP custom recovery and revert to the factory recovery? A couple times I got the little Android guy with the exclamation point.
I apologize for the newb question. It just was not clear in the article and I could not find any information online. If this is not the way, can someone direct me to an article or let me know what I may have done wrong?
Try looking at this thread, it has lots of good info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379797

Okay, I am not beyond making a real dumb mistake so please bear with me. I did look over the link. I ended up flashing the stock recovery and it does not appear to work. Well unless I am confused.
I restart my Nexus by pressing the Power Button and Volume down button at the same time. I then select "Recovery" from the menu. I see the text Google flash and then I am greeted with the Android guy on the floor with the exclamation point. Is this normal? Maybe I just dont know how the stock recovery looks?
Yes that is the stock recovery....pressing the volume buttons should activate the menu

The lying Android guy with his belly opened is the Factory Recovery. After get there, you have to press something else like Power or Power+vl up or something, I dont remember

Thank you, that makes sense then. I cannot believe it was something so dumb. I have been messing with this for hours. I knew it was strange that I could flash the custome recovery so many times with issues but would not be able to flash the factory recovery. I feel like an idiot. I did try pressing the Volume up or down button a few times and nothing happened though. Weird.

You have to press and hold Power, then press and release VolUp, then release Power
Don't immediately press them at the same time. Do it in the sequence listed.

Hi everybody,
This is my first post here and I seriously hope someone can help me.
I unlocked my phone and was attempting to root it and flash Cyanogen's MOD. I flashed Armon_RA's recovery image into recovery partition using fastboot, but when I try to access it I'm getting an image of an android with a warning sign, which I can't post yet because I'm a newbie and mod's have to check my account... Once there the only thing I can do is remove the battery.
I've downloaded Armon_RA's img twice and from different sources and the same thing happens.
In terms of what I did, I tried to follow a step-by-step guide at androidandme.com, combined with Cyanogen's official Wiki.
I appreciate any kind of help,
Thanks!
BTW I'm on Ubuntu 9.10, in case it helps.
Took me like 4 times to flash the recovery before I got the care bear screen. Just keep flashing!
I just got it working right now and was about to post it had been fixed.
Thanks anyway!
Sorry for undigging this thread, but this thread is the first one which shows up when I searched for "android recovery warning".
I have spent the entire day trying to fix my Nexus One's recovery (I got stuck on the screen with a warning sign as well), with no success. Trust me, I tried (almost) everything possible to flash a new recovery/restore stock recovery.
What did work, though, was running fastboot flash recovery recovery.img 5 times in a row (remember to boot your phone in fastboot mode before sending these commands). That did the trick, and now I'm able to boot in recovery mode (Clockworkmod, by the way).
Thanks!

So how can I do a hard reset from this stock recovery when there's no menu commands, how do you use the stock recovery?
I have an unrooted S On nexus one that I need to hard reset because it boot loops for some reason, but didn't want to have to root it.

Push the power button and volume up buttons at the same time
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Two buttons together ...
It is a common misconception that you have to push two buttons at the same time to activate some features. Trying to push them at exactly the same time is hit and miss and causes people to have issues.
In every case the combination is always hold one button down and then click the other button once ... much easier than clicking both together.
In this case I believe the combo is hold down power and then click Volume-Up once. (I may have it reversed).

It most likely is reversed. At least when you want to access the bootloader you want to hold down the volume down button (or maybe it is either volume button) and then turn on the phone. And with fastboot, you hold down the trackball as you turn on the phone.
I believe the volume up and powerbutton at the same was to "ok" the phone to apply an update.zip that was stored on the card (I remember doing that when I was running the Froyo build leaks from google).

Well, that is the menu that your looking for if you want to do a hard reset (WIPE). If it not working, then your phone is toast. Unless you want to try flashing it with another ROM using Odin. Which may work. (but very doubtful) There are tons and tons of threads here for you to researh your problem, but it sounds to me like the SD card has gone tits up. Wen u try to do a hard reset (wipe) what comes up on the screen after you select wipe??
But Vol up, middle button, and pwr is in fact the menu your looking for to do a Hard reset. (wipe)
If in fact your SD card is having issues, there is a thread floating around here somewhere, where some people have had sucess reviving their phone (and SD) using a series of flashes or something that may work.

Just flash your phone with odin to a 2.1 firmware (stock firmware, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 ) it should do the trick, if it's entering recovery and then let's you install a new firmware you're ok, but before installing a new firmware just take the battery out for 15-20 sec so the phone has no power to keep residual info from your previouse firmware.
Hey, so i recently broke my mytouch4g. The volume up button seems to act as if its jammed, when its really not because i can still click it. So i called a local cell phone repair shop, and they didnt know what kind of cable the mytouch4g had for the volume buttons, and I'd like to know before i actually go out and try to get it fixed.
When i press the power button, it vibrates 3 times, then blinks an orange LED, screen somewhat lights up. if anyone could help me out on this, maybe by flashing something to get in a different mode instead of that, because after letting it sit for a day it finally turned on. but im afraid to turn it off and try again to see what happens.. Is there some sort of menu i could flash that'll get me to this? Thanks
Well you're booted up right now, in the Android OS right? Are you rooted? If so, flash CWM Recovery and flash a ROM. If not, don't know what to tell you. Not even sure if this answer is right. Anyone wanna back me up or give a better answer, be my guest. Hope this helps you somewhat.
CWM recovery? can you get to that with volume up + power ? and once i turn it off, it wont work again till i get if fixed. this has happened before

Yes CWM Recovery. If you already flash the recovery, you can get there through bootloader (volume DOWN + power) then select recovery.

Can you get in to Bootloader?Me too recently had that kind of probem on my desire.Phone did not allow to get in to recovery.
Not really bricked I would say, But i did fastboot oem unlock and pressed unlock and start and it just stays at the bootanimation logo no matter what i do. I tried to flash the factory image back, it says completed but then it wont boot still, i tried to re lock the bootloader and nothing, any ideas on what to do?

Are you able to access recovery at all? If your able to access recovery try preforming a factory reset to see if you can get past the boot animation. Also check out this information that may be helpful.

Always glad to hear that I was able to help someone out, but I'm always especially happy when I can help someone un-brick there device.
so the deal here is...
so once your in bootloader, hit recovery, then you will see the little dead droid with the triangle... this is where it gets tricky...
keep tapping ( DONT HOLD) the power and volume left ( dunjno which is up or down, so i say left, the one close to the power key)., or in somke cases just mash all the buttons till the menu pops up! then click wipe data then wipe cache and the device reboots itself... give it a try!
i dont knwo why the recovery menu doesnt pop up unjtil u keep pressing volume up/down and power buttons, just keep tapping them in the recovery menu weith the android triangle and u should see the menu pop up

I've actually heard that it's a fastboot problem (with the tool, not the firmware on your device). Downloading the latest version of platform-tools solved this particular problem in a hurry for me, and it's probably best practice in the long run.
Is there something I can do in this situation except i don't have stock recovery installed?
Nevermind had a moment
Yes I lost manual recovery. I've tried many many times; with the power off I hold the volume up and the power button at the same time. As soon as I see the "little blue letters" on the left upper corner I let go. I've also tried volume up + home + power... However the cel vibrates again and does a normal system reboot.
I Odin it back to stock, factory reset...same deal.
I can reboot to recovery with Goomanager, but I can't understand why it won't manually.
Any help will be appreciated!
EDIT: Problem solved by scott14719. Here it is: As soon as you feel the phone vibrate, immediately let go of the power button but continue to hold the other buttons until the recovery boots, then let go of them.
You mentioned GooManager so I'm guessing TWRP? Hold the home and vol up buttons just a little bit longer (few seconds) before you let them go.
If nothing else works try to flash OUDHS (CWM). Make sure you read the thread and follow the directions. Of course, anything you do to your phone has risk and it is your responsibility.

You really need to wipe and start from scratch.
Odin stock rom, then boot to the rom, do complete device reset. Root, then load the recovery of your choice...15min procedure. Or keep trying things, and waste time. Can do this with my eyes closed as I have done this many times. Good luck.

I am telling you the boot partition is corupt. It has bs from both recoveries. Oh well. Might want to read up on odin and use the partition tools. Major sh$$ happening here. Just throwing ideas at you. I love these challenges. Wish I had the problem. Serious. I maybe wrong.
I'm wondering if there is something going on now. Normally 99.9% of these types of troubles are user error, but I've seen several people now (in the AT&T S4 forums) claiming they can not manually enter into recovery. Now I am assuming CWM hasn't been updated since the auto-loki version and I know it works correctly. So I am wondering (if there is a problem) if the problem might be with a change that was recently made to TWRP or maybe one of the new installation methods that have been developed to install CWM /TWRP? Even the people that are having the same trouble with CWM seem to have had TWRP installed first.
So, people that are having trouble please list the recovery you are using, the version, when it was flashed, and which method you used to flash it.
Or maybe it is still just all user error.

Have you tried a normal reset while holding volume and home. This is what I do since I am to lazy to take the extra steps and use Goo. Been working on extended power menu for odex'd rom but I am doing something wrong and can't get it to work.

I used motochopper and running the latest version of twrp. I can boot just fine using goo manager and once I'm in I have no problem at all flashing files or making a back ups. So I believe it may be something wrong with twrp recovery.

When you try to manually boot into recovery are you holding the "power", "volume up", and 'home key' until you first feel the phone vibrate and then immediately release the "power" button but continue to hold the other button until the first splash screen and then let them go. I think a lot of people are holding the power button too long or the other buttons not long enough.

You sir are correct! I just tried it and it works. Kinda feel stupid now. Thank you so much!
seems so complicated... try just volume up.
For mine (ATT 1337, on OUDHS Recovery (cwm))
if your phone is on and while the screen is on, just hold power and select reboot. as soon as it vibrates, press and hold volume up (just volume up, nothing else, maybe wait till custom firmware padlock screen shows up), and wait for the blue text at the top left of the screen... let go vol up.
if for some reason u r frozen. press power (just keep holding) til it forces reboot, then after vibrate (or maybe padlock if its too soon), press n hold just the volume up.
I would restore via KIES instead of using ODIN,
It will reset everything, just like from factory.
I've had this happen to me several times while playing around with flashing. Basically (without fail in my experience), hold power+volume up+home as you'd normally do until you see the booting recovery message and let go. It will do one of two things - boot into recovery- or - restart and vibrate-. If it restarts and vibrates, immediately hold power+volume up+home until the booting recovery message pops up again and let go. It should then boot into recovery and you shouldn't have trouble in subsequent attempts.
It took me a while to figure this out and I actually thought I had permanently bricked my phone as the phone wouldn't boot and I couldn't get into recovery. Hope this helps.
