I was on 4.0.1 yakjuxw before and I flashed yakju from this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464881
...and the actual flashing went perfectly and the phone works fine, and I was prompted to update my phone but during the process of updating at about 50 percent or so it failed and I got a red triangle with a big black exclamation mark which stopped the update. I was able to take the battery out and the phone booted up fine and the phone works still.
Does anybody know what caused the error? Is there a way to fix it so I can get updates working?
bump id still like some help with this.
You have cwm...can't do otas with clockwork. Either flash stock recovery or manually flash the image through fastboot

I just went to fastboot and then went into recovery from there and I got the android on his back with the red triangle with the "!" does that mean I have no recovery?
No, it means you have the stock recovery

Just press Volume Up + Power button when you see that droid image and you should get the Stock recovery menu.

Where to begin...
I have had ARHD GSM 2.1.2 working flawlessly since I have had the phone. I put the charger in the phone, pulled it out straight away and the Wave Secure app tried to initiate (data backup on charger only). When I put the charger back in the battery (Circles Mod by Hoolm) was stuck flashing battery percentage and charge bolt even when not charging.
I thought it was a good time to do a fresh install anyway so I superwiped lite and flashed ARHD 2.1.5. Reinstalled all my apps from the market fresh and then tried to perform a titanium backup...
The phone turned off and is now stuck in a permanent boot loop. I managed to use mskip toolkit to put it in recovery once and ran superwipe, wipe dalvik, fix permissions, re-flash ARHD 2.1.5 and then reboot.
Now it is stuck in a permanent boot loop and I cannot get it into recovery...HELP!
The only alternate screen I can get to is the ODIN screen by holding vol down and power....it says downloading but nothing happens.
Can you use fastboot from the mobil odin screen?
Flash the recovery.img maybe.
But can you not get into the bootloader menu at all?
Unfortunately, no. It just says "downloading - do not turn off target" where the option to enter fastboot should be.

dont use odin.
turn pull the battery, put it back in, press and hold both vol up and down and press and hold the power button.
that's fastboot mode.
HUGE thank you.
I am in recovery! Now what is best practice to get phone back into working order???

do you have a nandroid backup? if so, restore that. if you still bootloop, get back to recovery, wipe data and cache.
When I try and go to recovery I get the android bot with a red exclamation point coming out of it. It won't let me get to recovery.
Is this the point where something is definitely wrong and I have to send it to samsung for warranty repair?
I am pretty sure I can flash ICL53f and relock the bootloader.

You don't have the green android with the belly open that has 16 blue squares inside it? If you do, use the volume keys to move between Power off, Start, Restart bootloader, and Recovery mode. Press the power button in the "Recovery mode option." If you don't have this screen, then use fastboot commands, and flash Google Factory Images. You don't need to send it into Samsung for warranty, nothing is wrong. Lol.
I do have the recovery option from fastboot mode.
It is when I select recovery that I get the green android with the belly open and a exclamation point. It will not go any further once I select recovery.
I flashed ICL53F and I still get the exclamation when trying to get to recovery.

That is Stock recovery. Are you rooted? Are you on a Stock ROM?
When you hit the volume down or up button you should get some options..., which are they?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah you have to flash a custom recovery.
fastboot flash recovery (recoveryname)
Here's an awesome custom recovery for CDMA
Went to recovery (when it was working) from fastboot. Flashed stock ICL53F.
Options are reboot, recovery etc.
I am not trying to wipe and flash ARHD 2.1.5 GSM but cannot access recovery from fastboot. I get an android robot with an exclamation point.

I've lost ya... What is your situation now?
Do you have:
a: Stock recovery (droid on its back with red exclamation mark)
b: CWM recovery through MSKIP's tool
1. ARHD ROM
2. Stock ICL53F
x. a Boot loop
y. Not?
I think I see the disconnect now...
I have "droid on its back with red exclamation mark" (ICL53F - from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html)
I did not realise that a "droid on its back with red exclamation mark" was an indicator of stock recovery. So I guess I have that. I only used mskip to flash stock ICL53F not CWM recovery. I no longer have a boot loop but get the droid on back with exclamation (stock recovery).
So I should flash CWM, add ARHD zip and flash???

Yes flash CWM, see if you can boot into custom recovery, and then flash ARHD.
Okay...I'll give it a shot.
I will reply back with results.

As I stated in the title, when I try to flash back the stock recovery, it flashes ok, then when it tries to load it gives me an android with an red exclamation mark in the belly.
What can I do to revert back to recovery?
imm76D, 4.04, root, cwm (was before I put the stock one)
10x
Once that pops up...
Press Volume +, Volume -, and Power.
i know how to get into fastboot mode, I dunno how to put the stock recovery back

That is the stock recovery. When you see that, in order to access its menu, you need to: Pres volume up and power together repeatedly until you see the menu. It's a little finicky, so you will likely have to repeat it a few times.

Thanks man, you saved my life.
I noticed when I first got the phone that there was surprisingly no recovery mode. I'd get into bootloader and try to enter recovery and I get the dead android guy with a red triangle. Well I recently rooted and installed touchwiz recovery and was able to boot into it exactly once. After that though it does the same thing of giving me the dead android with the red triangle. Phones is barely a month old so do I just need to take it back to stock and return it or whats going on?

Sounds like you didn't remove/rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p
This file flashes the stock recovery every time the phone boots. The recovery you describe is the stock recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357642
Delete boot-from-recobery.p
If you have rooted your device,detele boot-from-recobery.p in "/system"
Yup. that fixed that. Wonder why that step wasn't in any of the how-to's I read. LOL.
It's in mine =]

Just some background for learning purposes:
There are TWO files added to your system when you apply an OTA update: a script (/system/etc/install-recovery.sh) that applies a patch (/system/recovery-from-boot.p) to the recovery partition, effectively re-flashing the stock recovery every time you boot your device. These files do NOT exist in Google's factory images -- they are only placed on your device if you apply an OTA update. They serve no purpose other than what I just mentioned, and are not part of the stock ROM (in other words, deleting them is perfectly safe, and will not affect your ability to apply any future updates using CWM).
I'm having the same problem. I can't get into the recovery mode. I just see a red triangle with an exclamation point.
Here's what I have done so far with my G-Nex. I had mine originally at 4.0.4 Yakjuxw. I received an OTA update to 4.1.1 JRCO03C and started to have some wifi issues. I did plan to flash it back to 4.0.4.
I used Mark Skippen's toolkit (the DOS-like GUI) to unlock the bootloader, to root, and to flash it to 4.0.4 IMM76I Google factory, and finally to root it again.
After reading more about manual ADB commands of doing the steps I've done above for further learning, I found out I can't get into the recovery mode.
I checked on the /system/recovery-from-boot.p and the file do not exist.
Will trying to flash a custom or stock recovery fix it?
TIA
The red triangle screen IS the stock recovery, but flashing CWM should sort it out

Yes. Except that I don't have any options to choose from. I only got a picture of a lying android with the red triangle screen and an exclamation point.

I see. I hope you could bear with me more as I'm new with this. Will flashing custom recovery require me to do a cleanup of my files, I mean like wiping dalvik-cache and everything?
Shouldn't do, just flash it when in the bootloader

To get the options when you are on that screen, just hold power and press volume up. More details can be found in the "basics" link in my signature.
Thanks guys for this. I came across this thread as I was flashing my GNexus back to stock as I'm selling it tomorrow. I've run custom recovery ever since I got this phone and I forgot how a stock recovery looked like.
I was going crazy reflashing the recovery.img via fastboot only to see the red triangle and the android lying on its back which is normal. I was expecting a similar recovery with less selection on the menu for the stock recovery.
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.
I had the device lying around for a while and was about to update it to 4.4.3 but when I tried to get into recovery mode to flash the zip file it said "no command" with this android logo thingy, the device is rooted with unlocked bootloader, what should I do to fix it?

That is stock recovery. It's an Android laying on his back with a red exclamation mark on top of him. I know, it freaked me out too when I first booted into stock recovery because it makes you think something's wrong. When you see that screen, you have to hit Power + Volume Up (or Volume Down?) at the same time to bring up the recovery menu. It may take a couple tries with the buttons, but the menu should pop up eventually.

I believe you have to adb sideload it. You can see how in this thread I found by Googling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929201. I know I can flash the OTA in my Philz custom recovery, but not sure if you can simply flash it using stock recovery.
