[q] what is stock recovery do? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I was planning on unlocking and rooting and putting on CWM today, but before I did that went into fastboot, just to see what the screen look like before.
So I decided to see what stock recovery in case i need to go back and exchange for some reason so I know it normal, and when I get into stock recovery all I see is a little green cylinder with a red !
I cannot do anything, if i hit any of volume keys nothing happens.
eventually somehow I get phone to reboot by holding power down. I have tried this twice and get the same thing.
I would assume I would see some form of text? like restore factory default or something?

just flash CWM..... you can reinstall stock recovery by flashing stock google images... you'd do that anyway if you ever wanted to return it for warranty purposes to get rid of custom ROMs etc
stock recovery will look something like this (not exactly because this is from a OLD phone but you get the idea)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks.
I finally did figure it out in case anyone needs this as well.
Once get to screen with exclamation point hold power down first then hit volume up. Has to be in that order.
After that you get blue menu with 4 different options.
But like you said all moot once I put CWM on it.

[Q] Odin hanging..how long is too long?

Hey guys,
I just got my phone back from repair (broken power button) and I want to get back onto CM10. I went about my usual flashing business, flashing the CWM 5.0.27 ODIN tar, then I usually flash a CM ROM to install root and change my target from SGH-T989D to SGH-T989. That enables me to install GooManager and flash TWRP. Unfortunately, my phone was stuck at the CM splash screen for a good 10 minutes, after having installed sk8erwitskill's CWM Touch (latest version, 1/11/2013) so I tried a reflash and it didn't work. I then reflashed CWM 5.0.27 and flash from there, and it still got stuck at the splash screen. I then went back into Download Mode, launched ODIN, and proceeded to flash the stock Telus tar to begin from scratch.. This is where my issues lies. Usually the Tar will take a little while, but slowly the progress bar moves along. This time though, it isn't moving:

I know that you aren't supposed to pull the battery or unplug the phone during Odin flashes, but I don't think it's even doing anything anymore..
What are my options?
TIA!
Nevermind, I did the riskiest possible thing and I pulled the plug, and tried on another computer. Way too stressful!!
Mods, please delete, thanks!

[Q] D2SPR Stuck on splash screen after nightly flash.

Ok... so I'm not a n00b and I know what I'm doing, I just don't exactly know how to recover from this. I think the only time I've ever had this problem was a hardware issue with my Evo4G.
I flashed my nightly for 9/6/13 CM10.2 and now it won't boot to recovery or Rom. Both won't get past the splash screen. Download loads fine. It says I have custom binary and one flash on the flash counter (I use Triangle Away).
Once I can get into recovery, I should be ok... just need to get there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Whell maybe you can adb into recovery from a computer or if you cant figure that out just odin back to stock and start over
If you like my work or I have helped you press thanks

It is a known issue that that nightly doesn't boot. Just put a ROM or working nightly on your sdcard (if you have one) and just flash it over or clean flash. Your choice. As long as you can get into recovery, no big deal.

Lost custom recovery but still have root

I am running stock 4.3 rooted. When I rooted I installed custom recovery. My phone has been choppy lately so in hopes that it would make my phone run smoother I tried to go into recovery (first time in ages) to wipe cache and dalvik. When I tried to go into recovery I got a "no commend' error and then regular stock Android recovery started. In the background was a dead android robot with a "!" symbol coming out of him.
I wiped cache with stock recovery and then selected the reboot option. The phone didn't reboot, I got "error!" message and that was it. I powered down, restarted and everything is back to the way it was. But what happened to my custom recovery? What should I do at this point to get it back?
Only thing I can think of is at some point I accidentally clicked on the OTA update notification. So my phone tried and failed to update because I'm rooted. Could that cause problems? What should I do?
Just Odin Philz Recovery

Post Unroot

I just unrooted my S3 to be able to update to the stock 4.4 rom using QBKings method. However, after doing this I went into the stock recovery just to make sure it was there and all and on the screen is a dead android with a red triangle. I did a quick google search but can't find anything about this.
What's causing the dead android symbol? The phone boots fine and other than that symbol the stock recovery seems to work so i don't understand why it's there.
Thanks in advance, I know this is a now outdated device but I still love it and want to figure out what's going on.

HELP! Brick? Never seen this screen before

Hi,
I bought Nexus 5x, downloaded tool for unlocking etc. I've been doing this many times before with other tools for previous Nexuses. Today something went wrong. I stuck on this screen and I cannot even get to recovery (I managed to install TWRP before). Tool cannot find my nexus and it cant be turned off and I cannot load fastboot or recovery. It shows this screen all the time. Do you have any clue what to do?

Did you try turning it on keeping vol down button pressed? If so you can enter bootloader, from there you can flash factory image. To turn it off, keep power button pressed till reboot, be fast pushing the vol down.
