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?

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.
Need some help. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and did bootloader and rooted my phone. Yeah!! Tried to install JellyBean and ran into a problem. The animation of Jellybean is locked what do I do? Need some serious help. I am able to get to Fastboot mode.

The animation is locked? I don't understand what you mean. Are you stuck at the boot logo (Google screen) or the boot animation (flashing X)? Either way, you can just go into your custom recovery, wipe data, and try flashing again if you are waiting on it to boot for that long. Some users have experienced waiting 5 minutes before it actually started up.
Agreed.
Initial boot on my Toro took 5-6 minutes.
It was butter ever since, however.
Give it a minute.
And make sure you're properly installing a rom (post 2 from the link in my signature).
Edit:

Tag-teaming 'ze noobs until it goes out of style.
It's flashing X on Boot animation. It has stayed in that mode for hours. I am confused and can not back into my phone. Reading other posts, I am able to get back to Fastboot mode. What do I do next? I appreciate your help. Thanks

I see. So you're in a bootloop. What do you mean fastboot mode? Because I know some users get confused with the terms... I'm assuming you're able to enter the Bootloader (screen with android belly open, where you are able to move through some menu options with your up and down volume keys)? Note, this is not the screen with the Android and red exclamation point. If you are able to boot into bootloader, you should be able to enter your custom recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery?) and wipe data and either flash a rom (same one or new one) and try again, or restore a backup you made. If you're set on using fastboot commands, you can always flash Nexus Factory Images, although this will wipe your SD card. I recommend getting into your custom recovery and wiping and flashing or restoring. If you don't have a custom recovery, you can always flash a custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img) and flash a custom rom or restore from there. Here is CWM recovery incase you don't have a custom recovery, or you have reverted back to stock (Android with red exclamation point).
yes the android belly is open. I just don't the steps that I need to do from here. This is where I get lost.

Can you scroll through the menu options with your volume keys? And one of the options should be "reboot recovery." Do that one.
Yes I can scroll with volume controls. Here are my options: start, restart bootloader, recovery mode and power off

Okay dude.
1.) Move your volume keys to select recovery mode
2.) press the power button to actually select that option
3.) You will boot into your custom recovery
4.) EITHER Wipe Data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and then flash a new rom (or try re-flashing this jellybean rom you're having problems with) OR restore from a backup you have previously made (which I hope you did just incase something worse happens in the future).
You do know how to navigate through your custom recovery, right?
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.
Hi everyone,
I'm now rather paranoid after my last phone died during what should've been a safe operation (RUU flash).
My phone was rooted and unlocked (done via adb and fastboot this time, no toolkits), running stock 2.22.531.5. Had TWRP installed for recovery. OTA got pushed, tried it and obviously that failed because our phones will only update w/ stock recovery.
Waited until I had some time (this morning). Downloaded stock 2.22.231.5 recovery, placed in my Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (latest version, downloaded only a week or two ago).
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery (filename)
(worked?)
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Phone in the middle of the screen with a red exclamation mark in a triangle. Wouldn't shut down holding power, did restart back into the stock ROM using Vol + and Power.
Oh, I forgot to erase cache (per FAQ)!
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
(did you mean to format this partition? Otherwise worked)
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Same problem.
What am I missing? Should I flash TWRP and try to flash the stock recovery again? Should I just try to flash stock recovery again? I broke my last phone trying to flash things that weren't flashing right multiple times...
Thanks for the help!

edit: Double-checked the md5 on the stock recovery that I was trying to flash, it checks out.
edit 2: Sorry if this is a common question. I've tried googling all the combinations of red exclamation phone bootloader recovery I can, but it's all completely irrelevant hits.

Phone with a triangle and an upside down exclamation mark in it... That's stock recovery. Hold Volume Up and TAP (TAP don't HOLD) the power button. That'll take you into stock recovery menu.

Haha, thank you, adb wasn't recognizing the phone the first time so I didn't realize that I was in stock recovery. The exclamation is right-side-up, but that's not really super important. Thanks again!
Just in case you happen to know... I don't need to do anything else to apply the OTA do I? I see some people reflashing stock RUU over their stock ROM or people trying to relock bootloader, but that seems like overkill?

I also always thought that you need to lock bootloader if you're S-ON but it seems not to be the case. You just need to be stock ROM and stock recovery.
