tried to boot in to recovery and got a screen with a white triangle and a yellow exclamation point inside above an android robot.
the suggestion is to battery pull. anyone else have this issue? if so, what's the procedure on reboot?
thanks.
I think that's the Stock Recovery Menu ( i kept getting it when i was trying to install the Patches from Fresh & used Clockwork Recovery because the two weren't compatible ).
Do you definitely have a Custom Recovery installed?
You pressed the power button instead of the optical trackpad when trying to reboot from custom recovery
Optical trackpad? What Evo has one of those? LMAO!
Flash Clockwork recovery or AmonRa recovery. You have stock (no recovery).
It is hard to answer your question without further specifics.
For example:
1.) Are you rooted?
a.) If yes, what are you trying to boot into recovery for? - flash radio/wimax or rom???
b.) If no, go to Android Development and read how to Root and install a custom recovery.
2.) If you have a custom recovery, what is it?
to put it simpler than this.
1. What ROM do you have?
2. What custom recovery do you have?
3. What step did you do to get into recovery? - from android or from boot up?

Hello shawnathan9!
I have similar problem with my Nexus one.
I have a rooted phone (used superoneclick to root)
Installed clockworkmod and flashed it with the recovery image.
Since I wanted to install latest cynogenmod I used clockworkmod to install the latest radio for it. Now when the phone rebooted it is hung diplaying a white triangle with and exclamation mark inside it. I haven't removed my battery yet and have plugged it to a power source. Can you help me ?
You're rooted, but you are trying to access recovery, but you don't have one loaded. Search google for Amon_RA or clockwork recovery to flash. If you have rom manager, you should be able to flash either or and it should work.
I did the unrevolked 3 and got it rooted. Then I booted it up into the recovery mode and ran clockworkmod. Now how do I get a rom (like mikfroyo 4.5) on it? I tried booting and selecting a zip from my sd card(which mikfroyo 4.5 is on it in zip form still) But it would not finish/aborted ? What am I doing wrong? I have the sptint HTC EVO 4 g phone with all the latest hboot ect on it.

That is part of updating the radio. Just let it finish and it will reboot into recovery. The phone has to go to that screen to update the radio. You may be able to save it by booting into that screen and just let it sit there for a while...eat dinner...take a dump...do whatever and come back and see if your phone is in recovery. I would turn it off and charge it first to make sure you have enough battery to finish the update.
I have the same experience, when I updates to Gingerbread (OTA).

Hello thank you so much for your information. I will leave the phone in that mode (screen hung with triangle an exclamation mark inside + android green logo below) and plug in the charger, until tomorrow morning. Then I have a question if tomorrow the phone still hung in that screen mode, what I have to do?
If you can give me solution, I would be very thankful. Happening in August 23, 2011.

After 2 days, trying to download updates firmware (OTA) GingerBread on HTC Evo 4G, I failed because the phone has been rooted, I found a "superuser permision" app. in the the All apps menu.This meant it is a rooted android phone, which will not permitted to update firmware OTA, is this true? If yes, this is the cause of screen hung at triangle with exclamation inside, and android green logo below.

Thats what my phone is doing the clockworksmod menu will not come up only see the
white triangle with the exc symbal with the android symbal. have to pull the battery out ot reset but phone still loads up and works.
I'm sorry I accidently had posted this question in the development forum. Mods please delete that thread.
Guys I need your help. I had 4.0.4 and then I unlocked and rooted my phone to get Jelly Bean (installed V1) following the walkthrough (the day it was released). Tonight I wanted to get to V3 so I made my backups (note not nandroid, just on Titanium & Go Backup) and tried to boot into Recovery Mode. Did the whole vol & power thing and got to the Fastboot mode. Selected Recovery Mode from the menu and was hoping to get to the screen where I can wipe and do the nandroid backup and all. But it shows the Google lock screen (unlocked icon) and then shows the android guy on its back, chest open and a red triangle. I remember having this a while ago when I was unlocking the phone and flashing JB on it but it was no problem. This time it just stays on this red triangle for a while and then the phone reboots (no menu for wipe, backup etc) but the kicker is that it stays stuck on the nexus jelly bean (the "x") animation forever and does not move from there. I've tried to wait it out for over 15 minutes and nothing. I can't even go back to stock on this as I'm using Wugs toolkit and the phone is not recognized in the list devices (I have Win8). I need to get this working as soon as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you try ODIN back? I had this problem, but instead of the red triangle, I had the EXCLAMATION mark between a PC and phone icon. Somewhere along the line I messed up with the files and soft-bricked my phone. ODIN would be your last bet, but for me, nothing worked.
Got a replacement next day (covered by warranty)... Good luck, dude...
I met the same problem when I flash JB (JRN84D ROM) from 4.0.4. When I saw "red triangle", I just kept pressing power and press volume up and then it brought me to recovery page. However, be careful, after I did data wipe, I lost all of kernels, rom, cwm recovery...in my phone. it was my first time to flash a phone so I must have done something wrong so now I have 4.1 but re-locked and don't know how to root it again and get CWM back. But at least, you can try power and volume up when you see "red triangle" to enter recovery mode.
sueshake,
thanks for that handy tip with the power and vol up combo. At least now I have some access to phone...thanks
will keep u updated on the progress
You are welcome. Be careful if you want to do superwipe. I guess I almost bricked my phone by doing that. Fortunately, I did flash 4.1 stock rom successfully before wiping data, though I am not sure how I made it from 4.0.4.
I'm trying to install CM11 to my Ouya. ADB recognizes it as a device but when I "adb reboot boot loader" the device reboots, screen goes black for several minutes and then it just boots right to Ouya OS.
I had the device rooted a while back and I think CWM was installed. I did a factory reset though a few months ago. Could I have bricked this thing?
I have also tried a usb keyboard and hitting alt+print+i but get the same result.

I had similar issues a rooted ouya with CWM Recovery on but I could not boot into recovery, I got the black screen and if I hit the home key I just got the standard android recovery not CWM. I read that this could be due to an OUYA update. As hard as I tried I could not reload CWM. I finally fixed my issue by reloading Superuser. For some reason I was then able to run one click recovery and it reloaded CWM Recovery for me. Since then I have upgraded recovery and loaded CM11. Only issue I have is now I don't get the boot menu just straight to CM11.
I am just a user not a programmer but I believe the issue may be that your recovery was overwritten by the ouya update and then you are unable to load CWM because permission issues.
Try hitting the home key when you have the blank screen, if you get Andriod Recovery then you seem to be where I was.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the advice.
I managed to make it into stock recovery but can't seem to get to CWM still. I reloaded Superusuer and the tried Oneclickrecovery. ADB shows success and say's I should be in CWM but I just get a blank screen.
I have a M8 Developer edition.
It was running TWRP recovery when I downloaded the 4.4.3 OTA and of course it failed to flash.
My existing Rom version is 1.54.1540.9 so I downloaded and flashed the 1.54.1540.9 stock recovery.
When I try to apply the OTA it starts flashing the update, and the progress bar moves about 1/3 of the way across, and then it stops and brings up the black screen with the phone picture with red triangle and exclamation mark.
I cannot boot into recovery, everytime i try I get the blackscreen/phone/red triangle screen and when I vol up and power button the phone just restarts again.
I also tried flashing 1.12.1540.17 as well and have the same problems?
Any suggestions.
Hey everyone,
Before I begin, my device is rooted and has bootloader unlocked. I have an issue when I try to flash a ROM, I first tried to install Resurrection remix (6.0.1r3) by twrp (temporary by computer) . I factory reset and and flashed it, along with gapps (6.0). When completed, I rebooted and the device went to a screen that said "installing update" and then to a dead android bot with a red exclamation, which I assume is a problem with the recovery mode though Im not too sure. So I restored my backup, factory reset and tried SuperZen ROM and I got the same result- an android bot with a red triangle. When I restore my backup and reboot the system it loads fine, although if Im in bootloader and go to recovery mode, it takes me to the dead bot, where I press the power button and the volume Up key to get past it. So my question is, how do I fix the dead android bot with the red triangle when I install a new ROM?
