So I just rooted my incredible 2 on 2.3.3. After root I updated to 2.3.4 cuz i was dumb. Now my phone is displaying a triangle with an exclamation mark and the android guy. How can I restore to stock 2.3.3 or fix this??
If your rooted and flashed a recovery such as clockwork. Pull battery, put it back in. Hold vol down and hit power button. You should boot into bootloader. Vol down to goto recovery hit power button. Wipe and reboot, or wipe and reflash a Rom

I think this means you are on STOCK recovery, download a custom one, theres a few to choose from, 4EXT, CWM, TWR kang, ..
Okay so i went with the factory reset through recovery.
What i'm wondering is is there anyway to get to 2.3.4 while rooted? By installing a custom recovery would that allow me to do so?

This is another one of those stuck on Motorola Logo thread. I tried to search but could not find a problem similar to mine.
I have a rooted defy in India, which was running 2.2.
I followed the steps given in one of the guides here, rooted the phone and installed CM7 on it.
Things were going well for a month now but today I decided to play around with it. I installed the recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-944543 and made an android backup. I rebooted the phone but was getting into the M logo with blue LED flashing for a while. I pressed the vol down and entered into boot menu and changed the default to "normal stock". Now I can not boot my phone and am stuck on M logo. I can go to stock recovery though.
What do I do from here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
CM7 has 2ndinit preinstalled which consists of a custom recovery menu. Why don't you guys read FAQs.
Here's what you can do. Enter the Bootmenu goto Custom recovery and reinstall CM7, you wont lose your apps and settings. Wipe Dalvik cache and reboot.

I can no more access custom recovery. If I press the power button, and vol down, I get the triangle with exclamation from where I can go to stock recovery.

why did you install that recovery!!!!?? cm7 already has it!! if you dont mind to lose your data, i think you should reinstall cm7 from the begining, cause i'm pretty sure wipe data from stock recovery wont work
Thanks for the help. I only had stock recovery, which does not have the option for nandroid. That's the reason I flashed this recovery. I don't mind losing data. Where do I begin? The only thing I can access right now is stock recovery.

Thanks everyone. Problem solved. Installed RC 1.5 this time.
Alright i had to get a new Dinc 2 because my lights for the bottom control buttons quit working. So i am trying to root again but i have to downgrade from android 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 with the file PG32IMG.zip. So i do that and now everytime i try to get into my recover after i push everything to my phone i get into the hboot and it does that scan thing it does, and then it just keeps trying to apply that PG32IMG file. And if i try to delete the file after i'm downgraded i can boot into hboot everything works fine but when i select recover it acts like it wants to go into it and then i get the screen with the phone and the exclamation point which im guessing means bricked. but i can reboot my phone and it works just phone. Is there anything i can do??
Did you use revolutionary exploit to root. It sounds as if you don't have a custom recovery installed.
If you are rooted then install Tom manager from market and flash recovery or download 4ext updater and install 4ext recovery. Then try to boot into recovery.

As far as the yellow triangle that is the stock recovery built into the Android operating system. You aren't bricked.

Ya, i used revolutionary and it ran all through that and got to where it asks to install the recovery, i said yes and as far as i could tell from when i did it the first time it worked just fine
well last night i had gained s-off and couldnt get into recovery so i got back to s-on and now today i'm trying to run revolutionary and it keeps failing.....should i just give up?

No. Try to redo the ruu. Then root using revolution (well try to). Then download rom manager and check you recovery. When ever I ruu I will always reflash recovery through rom manager. Although I have switched to 4ext recovery.

I flashed CM10 onto my phone a couple weeks ago, everything went smoothly. Today, I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader so that I could receive the stock JellyBean update. Well I download the update, reboot phone into fastboot, attempt to go into recovery and I get the red triangle !. I know this is an issue with the phone apparently not finding a recovery boot but why didn't my reverting to stock reinstall the stock recovery? Does anyone have any guides they suggest to get stock recovery back? (I've found a few but thought I would ask).
Now, this is understandable that my phone can't boot into recovery since I flashed CM recovery onto it and whatnot, but I attempted to boot into recovery on my girlfriends phone (same phone, NEVER BEEN UNLOCKED OR FLASHED) and it can't boot into recovery either... Is something going on here or am I just missing a huge piece of the puzzle? I don't really want to have to flash anything on my girlfriends phone to fix it, she's not into the tinkering and would rather not have her data reset. Any help would be appreciated.
And for the record, I did a search to figure this out but at the very least I can only find solutions for people who have flashed CM or similar and nothing pertaining to the problem my girlfriend's phone has.
Tried reflashing recovery already? How did you "revert" to stock?

Used this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848566
It worked, I'm on stock ICS, but I didn't do ANYTHING after booting into ICS again and attempting to install JB and booting into recovery. Did I miss something? How do I "flash recovery"?
Unzip the factory image you get from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Then use fastboot to flash the recovery.
EDIT: red triangle doesn't necessarily mean the recovery is broken. It's just the way it is. If you wish to flash a 3rd party ROM you'll need to flash a 3rd party recovery.

I think you are confusing a few things here. First off, the Android with the red triangle IS the stock recovery main screen. (If you want to flash the update manually, you need CWM -- go into fastboot mode and type: fastboot flash name-of-recovery.img, where name-of-recovery is the recovery that you downloaded and want to flash.) Second, you need the stock recovery for an update to install over-the-air, but you need a custom recovery if you want to flash it manually.

this happened. you installed stock recovery when you reverted, whats the surprise?
and you dont need to relock bootloader to successfully update through ota. seems to me know the op needs to refine his searching skills.

So in the context of my girlfriend's phone where nothing has been done to it in the 4 months she's had it, why would it be giving the recovery error? Also, does flashing the recovery wipe the phone?
It's funny too because I just got the JB OTA but I'd still like to get this figured out.

run the update manually (found on the Update link on efrants sig) through cwm, that should give you a more detailed description of whats going on.
flashing a recovery doesn't wipe the device. unlocking will, btw. its not an error, its the stock recovery!

Alright, I think I got it... so the android with the red ! triangle IS stock recovery? I just remember on my Nexus S being able to boot into recovery and load up a stock .zip update manually without any custom recovery mod. Is this not possible on the Galaxy Nexus then? So what does the stock recovery DO other than sit there and reboot after a minute?

Correct! As was mentioned by bk201doesntexist, hold power and press volume up to access the menu.

I have tried this method twice, followed it exactly. it doesn't work on the Canadian variant (i317M) on Bell. In download mode, device status still reads: "Custom".
Triangle away's description on the play store reads: "on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!" but I have stock everything, I never did anything other than use CF-autoroot to be able to restore a Titanium Backup, I never flashed a custom kernel, custom recovery...
I really wish Triangle Away would reset my device status, as I want to be 100% stock from now on with OTA updates.
Go into recovery by pressing volume up home button then power and hold till Samsung screen shows and see what recovery u are using. My guess is it is a custom recovery

I'm not running a custom recovery. The guide linked says to run CF-autoroot which flashes stock recovery. I then run Triangle Away, then uninstall Triangle Away and do a Full Unroot through SU then do another factory reset. I'm stock kernel, recovery, ROM, everything, with a zero flash counter, but OTA updates are still broken.
Not sure... Try doing it all over

If your flash counter is at 0, then it worked I'm gonna guess. Where are you that you are getting an OTA update? Because AT&T hasn't released any.
Upgraded to 4.4.2. Re rooted. I was able to do a twrp recovery to my laptop.
When I went to do a routine back up via twrp I get a supine android with an exclamation point in a triangle coming out of his chest.
booting into recovery takes me to the recovery/bootloader menu. Choosing either takes me back to the recovery screen.
I replied with the nexus tool kit,; maybe it isn't compatible with 4.4.2?
Advice?
Just trying to be 100% clear here...can you get into both bootloader AND recovery without any problems? Can you reboot directly into recovery (power + vol up)? And do your partitions load up correctly in TWRP? Have you tried flashing a new Rom from any version?

you could use fastboot to flash the recovery again. the red triangle android thing is probably stock recovery. when you are on it try pressing power then vol up. if a menu pops up then it's stock recovery. you may have just erased your twrp.

Yes, it sounds like the first reboot after you installed 4.4.2 automatically flashed stock recovery. Just reflash TWRP in your bootloader.

yup. in CWM there is a prompt that the OTA will try to restore stock recovery and it asks if you want to prevent this. i'm guess TWRP doesnt have this or OP didnt do it.
