clock work mod / root issues

So i am running the stock rom unlocked and rooted. Everything has been working fine until recently.
I wanted to flash a boot animation instead of just copy and paste with root explorer. So i booted into fastboot (volume hold then power). I then selected recovery and my phone shows the android thinking then he's flat on his back with an exclamation point above him. I followed the rootwiki for the gnex to the letter. Any ideas on whats wrong?
Thanks for helping a newb.

No solution from me.. but:

Afraid I can't help you but I had exactly the same issue. I used flashed the original recovery again and again but kept getting droid flat on it's back with the red exclamation mark. Finaly I decided that I found recovery imporatant enough and decided to flash CWM recovery. That gave me at least recovery back. I would prefer however getting stock recovery back. So if someone has a resolution I would be one happy camper.

Tried to flash it again and it gave me an error in adb saying faiked partition.
Any help is appreciated

Try flashing CWM with Rom Manager.

The android on his back with exclamation point is stock recovery. You have a few options: install ROM manager and flash clockworkmod through it (some people's phones need this done before each flash I think based on root process) or you can change the name of your recovery-from-boot.p file which is a file that causes ICS to revert back to stock recovery, and some have to use root explorer to change the read/write access to get clockwork to stick. I would just use ROM Manager for it. If you ever want stock recovery you can download the factory image file from Google and extract the recovery.img and use fastboot
- copy the recovery.img file to the directory that contains your fastboot utility
- start-up a terminal/command session
- put your phone into fastboot / bootloader mode
- type the following fastboot command to flash the stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

At least my problem is solved. The fact that droid with the red exclamation mark is stock left me searching how to get into recovery then. It appears that if you hit Volume up and power shortly when you see that image it loads stock recovery menu.
Two simple questions: I want my GN to be close to stock, haven't flashed custom rom's radio's etc. What I do want is Root and SetCPU (for power saving options during screen off), rootexplorer, Volume+ etcetera working. I've managed to put them all on, now:
If I reflash stock recovery and lock my bootloader: will they keep on working and:
If I get OTA updates: will they keep on working too?
Thanks in advance for any reply...

you can leave your phone unlocked and root with a method such as CF-Root and leave your factory recovery and OTA's will go through and install without issue. Having the bootloader unlocker doesn't effect OTA's at all. There are a some programs that claim they maintain root after OTA but even if they don't you can just re root with a program like CF-Root

This. I had the exact same issue when trying to flash anything after I rooted. either flash CWM through rom manager or install CWM permanently if you haven't already. After I installed it I've had no issues.

Stuck on black "Google" with open lock screen

I tried using the franco kernel app to install the kernel on my rooted Galaxy Nexus. There was the "download the .zip" option and the "we'll flash it for you" option. Of course I took the easy option which was probably stupid on my part. My phone downloaded the kernel and then rebooted. Now that it has rebooted... it wont get beyond the black screen that says "Google" and has the little open lock image at the bottom.
Questions:
Has anyone seen this?
Did I brick this thing (I really hope not)?
What steps can I do to try to get it back working?
Or does it just take a long time 20+ minutes to download/install/whatever once it reboots?

I did this last night to see, and it didn't work. I had to pull the battery, and reboot. I then just downloaded the new zip, and rebooted into Recovery to flash it as I normally would.

I wanted to do this... but with my root toolkit it looks like my phone doesn't have usb debugging on (which it was before I tried to flash this kernel). And I can't turn my phone on to turn it on... so hmm.

Pull the battery, hold Vol Up/Vol Down/Power to get into Recovery. Do you have the ROM zip file or another kernel on your SD card? You could just re-flash the ROM zip file over your existing installation, which would leave your data alone and install the ROM's kernel. Wipe /cache and Dalvik Cache before flashing.
EDIT: When you get into the bootloader, hit Vol Up until Recovery shows up, then hit the Power button to boot to Recovery.

This is KIND of what I'm doing. I can't access my phone from the computer because of the damn usb thing... but I'm going to try to flash back to stock and see if that works.

It's booting now and it's been on the start screen for a minute or two. How long should it take on a stock flash? Just curious how long to wait before yanking the battery and trying again.

How did you flash stock, using fastboot or a zip? These are the stock images correct?

I boot into Recovery Mode and did the factory reset.
I also have a su.zip on my sdcard that I think is the rooted image that was used when I used the WugFresh root toolkit. But I'm not sure.
Shouldn't the Factory Reset... do a Factory Reset?
Edit: I see it's just data not an actual factory reset as I am thinking.

If you don't have a ROM or kernel zip file on your SD card, you'll want to put one there. Factory Reset already reset any data you have, so you'll want to flashing a ROM would be recommended here.
You can use ADB to push files to your SD card. You'll need to get into Recovery, mount /data (which is under Mounts and Storage menu), then open a command prompt window and change directories to your Android SDK folder, specifically Platform-tools. Then use ADB to push the zip files to your SD card:
adb push <name of file>.zip /data/media
EDIT 2: You'll want to download and put the zip file in your SDK - Platform-tools folder before you use ADB to push it there.
You can then flash the ROM via Install file from SD card.
Does this make sense?
EDIT: The su.zip is just to get root access, not a full ROM zip.

Hello guys i have tha same problem with patriot95 (black screen Google and one small lock lower) ... my device is optimus 3d p920 and i cant reboot it .
can you help me ? PLz

This is a problem with the toolkit...
Do you have any adb and fastboot downloaded? No? Download it. There's more than enough instructions on that.
You didn't need to factory reset AT ALL. All you needed to do was just re-flash your ROM and you would've been good to go.
Next time learn how to use adb and fastboot command please. Then, there will be less chance of messing it up and not being able to fixing it.

Hi, sorry this thread is kinda old already but I don't really want to start new thread about same problem. So, similar to OP, I stupidly use the 'autoflash' option from franco app, and I'm stuck now. But I can still have access to CWM recovery. I was using the stock 4.2.2 takju before. I already tried to re-flash stock kernel -> fail. Tried re-flash stock rom - fail. Tried wipe cache and dalvik then flash deodexed 4.2.2 -> also fail. Please help me, I really need to use my phone right now.

Are you flashing a 4.2.2 kernel with a 4.2.2 ROM?
What ROM and kernel?

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?

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Back to stock rom??

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a acer iconia a100 rooted and currently running the carbon rom (4.2.2) and twrp recovery (2.6.3.0). I would like to go back to stock rom (ICS). I have not changed any kernals or anything like that. Can I just restore my nandroid backup of my stock rom or is there something specific I have to do? Also, I just looked and I dont have a stock backup with twrp, only with cwm. When I unlocked bootloader, I installed cwm, then must have done a backup of stock rom, then flashed carbon rom, then switched to twrp and made another backup so I would have to go back to cwm to restore nandroid. How do I go back to cwm from twrp?? Thanks for the feedback.
I looked in my internal storage and it looks like I have 2 zips, fastbootrecovery.zip and xsposeddisabler-cwm.zip, do I flash one of these?? and if I do, can I do it with es explorer?? Thanks

Just the stock ROM or completely back to stock, 100%?
If you don't know what those zips are, or how to use them, then don't use them, period.
To get back cwm you can use fastboot to flash it back on or use one of the cwm installers in development, if any are still there, if you want to do it with fastboot you'll need some stuff to get ready, most of it should be there from when you rooted the first time, then a couple lines in a command prompt and you'll have it back. There's also stock rooted ICS ROMs available, so depending on what you want we can go from there.

I am going to sell my tablet so I would like to go to my backup of my stock rom. When I restore my stock backup, I can just do a full wipe, that will get me back to the starting point of just the basic rom, right?? That will wipe all my data from the backup rom, or will a full wipe erase the rom too?? I want to get back to the basic rom (just like if I install a new rom) have to set up accounts, wifi, etc).
Also, is there a tutorial or a step by step guide to reinstall cwm back on my tablet, since my stock rom was backed up with cwm? And where do I have the files to reflash cwm. Thanks for your assistance in helping me return my tablet to the state I want.

I found a site that has it step by step, installing cwm. Here it is.
Here it is guys, Stock CWM Recovery for the ACER A100.
Before anything make sure you have the latest ICS leak C/O Vache, Root, and Unlocked Bootloader.
Official ICS Leak c/o Vache:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1510706
Root Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1531646
Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1557445
once you have done all of the above, you should be ready to flash this recovery. Make sure you have ADB up and working properly. And place the recovery.img in your working folder (see below)
1- Open a command prompt in your working folder (usually in your platform tools, mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) make sure you are administrator.
2- Connect Tablet to pc and get excited.
3- Type: adb devices (verify your Tab is connected and listed)
4- Type: adb reboot bootloader
5- Once bootloader is in fastboot type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You will see writing recovery, flashing recovery, etc.
6- Once flashed Type: fastboot reboot
7- Profit
But it says make sure you have the latest ics leak?? Are they refferring to the rom?? If so, I currently have carbon rom istalled which is jellybean. This will not work then?? I am a little confused and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Well, before the tab got official ICS, we had a leak. If you had read down the topics some you would've found it. You do not want cwm, you want twrp.

To just go back to stock to sell it you'll run into a couple issues coming from 4.2+, namely the storage path changes, you'll retain the /0 folders, however many were made. Otherwise following the guide that roman made will work to go back to 100% stock, I'll see if I can get a link, I'm in a waiting room with crappy data lol
Edit:
That guide will work for installing cwm, basically get your cwm image then get fastboot going, fastboot flash recovery cwmimageyougot.IMG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33574648
Best way to return to 100% stock. No need to fuss with recoveries just install what he says then the ROM does the rest. While in twrp remember to go delete /0 directories or they'll remain there forever. Or until its deleted at a later date, but if you have stuff in there you should do it prior to going fully stock again.

To just go back to stock to sell it you'll run into a couple issues coming from 4.2+, namely the storage path changes, you'll retain the /0 folders, however many were made. Otherwise following the guide that roman made will work to go back to 100% stock, I'll see if I can get a link, I'm in a waiting room with crappy data lol
Edit:
That guide will work for installing cwm, basically get your cwm image then get fastboot going, fastboot flash recovery cwmimageyougot.IMG

Best way to return to 100% stock. No need to fuss with recoveries just install what he says then the ROM does the rest. While in twrp remember to go delete /0 directories or they'll remain there forever. Or until its deleted at a later date, but if you have stuff in there you should do it prior to going fully stock again.

Thanks for the response, youve fully confused me with the /0 folders?? What exactly is that?? When I go to es file explorer, I see sdcard0 (which looks like the internal storage) and sd01 which looks like my ext sd card. Is it one of those your are talking about??
Also, you said something about go delete in twrp, I went into twrp and did not find anything with that name?? am I deleteing something in twrp. Could you spell it out for me since I am a noob when it comes to reverting a device to stock. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

that is something happening with cwm. i had this problem. it keeps creating a folder names 0 and keep moving old files into that whenever you install a new rom.

Hello guys. I need your feedback. I have a A100 that is rooted and is currently running carbon rom 4.2. I am going to be selling this in the next couple weeks because I just don't use it anymore now that I have a second pc.Do you think it would be more advantagious to sell this just the way it is (rooted and custom rom) or should I take it back to completely stock? Or if it is more advantagious to sell it with a custom rom, which rom would you guys suggest?? Thanks again for any and all suggestions.

Please Help!! I was trying to go to stock ics and these are the steps I used.The simple method to revert back to stock ICS from a custom ROM on an A100.
+++Locked bootloader, no custom recovery, no root. Full stock .014 rom. It will recieve OTA updates to latest Acer version.+++
Get Ready
1) Download this flashable Stock recovery zip, and place in your normal flashing location, - Thx 4 help pio

2) Download the Official .014 Stock ICS rom
The stock ICS zip from zeronull. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1611696
Here is a second link to it. http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a - thx zleto
3) Rename the Stock ICS rom to "update.zip", no quotes (make sure you have "hide known file extensions" UNCHECKED, in the folder options). And place it on the root of your microSD card. This will allow you to see the file extension to verify that it is named properly.
Get it Done
1) Flash the Stock recovery zip with your custom recovery. Then wipe cache, davlik cache, and wipe data/factory reset.
2) Reboot to system.
3) Allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so.
4) Then Power off.
5) Update from the microSD card by holding down the power and volume rocker closest to the corner at the same time, until you see "erasing cache .".. ect, ect. The stock rom install should start by itself, dont touch anything, wait for it to reboot.
****** If it won't boot do a factory reset (with the hardware buttons, see below) and/or try to reflash the ics rom one more time. ******
Quote:
To perform a Factory Data Reset use the following steps:
1.Place the rotation lock switch in the up position (tablet held in portrait). Or to the left if held in landscape.
2.Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the corner (it is volume up, if held in landscape).
3.With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4.Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5.Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
Now I get the android symbol with the red triangle, that stays for about a minute, then it reboots and stays on thye acer screen. When I did the steps and was going to reboot, I received a waring while in recovery sayiny that I dont have a op installed. I did it anyway, as posted and now I'm stuck, can anyone PLEASE help me.I tried doing a reset with steps 2 though 4 but while pressing the vol up and letting go of the power button, it does not vibrate.
I try to boot into recovery with vol up + power, it boots than says erasing cache, then booting into recovery, the the android synbol comes up with the red triangle.

I can't even get into recovery. It says bootloader (unlock mode) when I pwer it on. If I press power + vol up, it says erasing cache, then booting into recovery kernal, then the android symbol comes up with the red triangle.Thanks for responding and since this is the wrong thread, can we discuss this in the other thread?? While I was typing this, the android symbol with the triangle was on the screen for about 2 minutes, then it just rebooted and now its saying acer acer acer acer acer on the bottom of the screen.

Can anyone help me out with this please?
