NEED HELP cant access CW Recovery

I just rooted my phone everything seemed to go the way its supposed to. I have superuser and have downloaded titanium backup and it works fine. I wanted to back up my phone so I can have a stock back up but when I went into fast boot and tries to access clockwork I got the android on his back with the red exclamation mark. I'm not sure what happened. I was able to access it once. Maybe a reboot did something. I'm not new to rooting but I'm new to the galaxy line. Thanks so much for any help its appreciated geeatley.
I rooted using the dev kit v7.0 I'd that helps any.

Nexus line.
have you tried reflashing cwm recovery via fastboot?

flash CWM via fastboot.
and why do you need a backup of stock? You can always re-flash the stock images to go back to completely stock. Restoring a rooted nandroid backup won't put you back to stock anyways...

OK makes sense. Is there a how to and link to the cwm download? On HTC you used to just download the file rename it pc86img and reboot into fast boot and let it update. Is it the same for the nexus?

Similar, except you put it in a folder on your PC and flash it over USB with the command line.

And look for the "Setting up ADB for our device:" then "Obtaining Root Access and Custom Recovery:".

Can you boot into the OS? If you can, download Rom Manager from the Play Store and use that to install CWM Recovery.

Did you delete recovery-from-boot.p from /system? I had to do this to "permanently" install the recovery. My first Samsung phone, my first Nexus device, so not sure if this has been a regular thing ... never had to "permanently" install a recovery up until then. That fixed my issue as my recovery was only sticking once per boot ... was blowing my mind for a couple hours.
Not sure if root via toolkit solves this, but I did a manny root and had to do this. Hope it helps.
edit-
- remount /system in read/write mode (use something like the Root Explorer app or ES File Explorer; both have root modes (check the app's settings) for remounting /system as writable)
- rename the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
(note: you could delete it, but renaming is much safer since its easily reversible)

Could also, apparently, rename it. I just reinstalled recovery, deleted, and haven't had a single problem since.

What bleedblue said; now go into fastboot, and reflash cwm.

If you have CWM's latest recovery then you should be able to flash a different custom rom, boot the phone into recovery and mount USB storage, copy over the new rom, unmount storage and format the system, data, cache and davik cache and then install rom..... you will need to flash the boot.img for the rom from fastboot before it will boot.
If you instructions on going back to stock then look at my sig or look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735930&page=3
Edit: Upon doing a quick search it seams that RUU version isn't available yet, only way for you currently is to flash a custom rom.

Thnx for the reply mate, however i am not on a custom firmware..infact i just rooted my phone with one click rooting method and post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Since then..i've been trying many things, infact i also tried to flash the stock recovery...which happened successfully but sadly the phone did not boot. Man what to do?

You formatted the system partition, which is where all the files for your phone were located (so all the system files have been deleted..... you should have really taken a backup of the phone before doing anything to it); you need to flash the latest CWM recovery from HERE
and then download and install a custom ROM onto your phone as the RUU that you need is not yet available.

for first link: Thats only the "Over The Air" update file, you still need a working stock rom'd phone to flash it.
for second link: That should be fine to install onto your phone once you have the CWM Recovery flashed onto your phone, remember to also flash over the boot.img file before you try and boot the phone.... otherwise it just wont boot

1. ADB can be used on custom recovery to push files.
2. you can flash system via fastboot

Flash your phone back to stock and start over...

[Q] i dont know what i did/ not booting up.. please help

so i was running aokp rom on my verizon galaxy nexus and i was changing fonts with an app and it worked several times but then i decided to check off all these boxes and replace their fonts too, instead of the few that were already checked off when i first downloaded the app and when i went to reboot my phone it didnt boot up all the way. It vibrated and i see the screen kinda lit up but theres no logo cus i remember turning off boot logo in settings for faster boot ups. I can get into clockwork mod recovery but i dont know whats wrong or what to do. i never made any backups with clockwork but i did with titanium backup pro. i tried searching the forums here for boot loop and i couldnt find an easy to understand answer. i managed to clear cache and delvik cache but that didnt help. there are no roms on my sd card to flash. i dont care if i lose everything and go back to stock ... I JUST NEED IT TO WORK! please please help!

1. If you have the AOKP rom zip on your phone's sdcard, try to install the zip again, this will fix the issue.
2. If it doesn't work try to wipe data and factory reset
3. If it still doesn't work or you don't have the zip download the app given below
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
put device into bootloader mode. Open the app click on the left bottom Launch button under Advanced Utilities. Before proceeding download the stock rom version that you want to put on your device from Google. Using 7-zip open the tar file lets say you downloaded yakju-jop40d-factory-279cdc5d.tar. opening it you will see a white file, double click it to see yakju-jop40d folder from this folder extract everything. Now you will find a zip file in the files you extracted, unzip it and you will find the files you require for your phone to run. Select from Boot/Flash Image flash permanent, select boot and find the boot.img file you extracted from the zip, then select system and select system.img. Now if it worked get into recovery and fctory reset your phone and try to run it. I personally tried it and it worked for me.
if you get an error message saying your device wasnt found on fast boot. then you need to get your drivers installed. This app has an option for installing the drivers.
----------------
And if it still doesn't work try the guide below
Heres what you need to do in order to go back to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - instead of installing the drivers from this guide you can use the tool mentioned above.
Best of Luck

People who suggest a toolkit to noob users are the most lazy.
@OP, go read this thread/first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
You don't need to go back to stock, you don't need a toolkit, you just need a rom zip on your PC, ADB, and a custom recovery. Done.

Hey! I'll have you know that right clicking is hard.

Is there a way to reset the DHD if it is not booting and CWM recovery is malfunctioni

Hey pals. I have an issue with my DHD...I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and yesturday someone messed with the developer options and chose to emulate a 1024x760, or something like that, display. The phone froze and I had to remove the battery to shut it down...However when I try to do a factory reset through CWM recovery the phone freezes on the HTC logo and when I try to boot It freezes before reaching the home screen. I realized that this phone can't boot normally now cos the display emulation i talked about earlier is causing an issue, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that I cant use CWM recovery...So I cant acces the phone completely...So I am wondering if there is a way to undo that setting without using CWM recovery...Something like maybe removing the battery or opening it up n remove something for some time etc. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey XDA_h3n what is a ruu? Could be worth a try since when i go to fastboot I have 4 options which are 1. Bootloader 2. Reboot 3. Reboot bootloader and 4. Power down. So I go for he reboot option n the phone just tries to reboot n it hangs again just before the home screen...Thanks

You are s-off dont use ruu, it may make you s-on.
Press Fastboot then do the flashing from cmd cd to your your-android-sdk-folder-location-here/platform-tools/fastboot.exe like cd c:/android/ then do fastboot flash recovery.img and make sure you have recovery.img in your tools folder. You can find a .img from the thread I posted previously (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2317202&d=1381475742) in this example extract it place .img in the platform-tools location and rename the .img to recovery.img

Flashing a ruu wont make you loose s-off, it makes you loose root. Two completely different things.
Your issue happened when you did the factory reset.
One possible solution is to:
Flash ruu
Flash a recovery
Flash rom
As long as your phone is recognized by your pc (which may not due to having done tue factory reset - can't remember if it does or doesn't), then you should be good to go.

Unfortunately the PC is not recognizing the phone anymore...Do u think I can do it by SD card...i.e renaming the stock ROM or Recovery to PD98IMG.zip and putting it on the root of SD card? I guess the solution has to not involve USB connectivity

Sounds reasonable, but not quite sure. I can't remember if you can flash a rom that way. I would suggest to do a proper search, read and see what you can find in that regard.

Well in my research (back in 2010) to flash a ruu with a previous version you need a gold card. After you get the ruu as a PDxxxxx.zip format (look for a desire hd one as others will brick your phone) and place it in the root of your sd card. Reboot your phone in recovery and press vol+ to flash, and wait for 10-20mins and your phone should be alive.
Some sd's dont work with gold cards (in my experience, a kingston 16gb didn't work but a samsung 8gb did for some reason)
