I'm sorry I accidently had posted this question in the development forum. Mods please delete that thread.
Guys I need your help. I had 4.0.4 and then I unlocked and rooted my phone to get Jelly Bean (installed V1) following the walkthrough (the day it was released). Tonight I wanted to get to V3 so I made my backups (note not nandroid, just on Titanium & Go Backup) and tried to boot into Recovery Mode. Did the whole vol & power thing and got to the Fastboot mode. Selected Recovery Mode from the menu and was hoping to get to the screen where I can wipe and do the nandroid backup and all. But it shows the Google lock screen (unlocked icon) and then shows the android guy on its back, chest open and a red triangle. I remember having this a while ago when I was unlocking the phone and flashing JB on it but it was no problem. This time it just stays on this red triangle for a while and then the phone reboots (no menu for wipe, backup etc) but the kicker is that it stays stuck on the nexus jelly bean (the "x") animation forever and does not move from there. I've tried to wait it out for over 15 minutes and nothing. I can't even go back to stock on this as I'm using Wugs toolkit and the phone is not recognized in the list devices (I have Win8). I need to get this working as soon as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you try ODIN back? I had this problem, but instead of the red triangle, I had the EXCLAMATION mark between a PC and phone icon. Somewhere along the line I messed up with the files and soft-bricked my phone. ODIN would be your last bet, but for me, nothing worked.
Got a replacement next day (covered by warranty)... Good luck, dude...
I met the same problem when I flash JB (JRN84D ROM) from 4.0.4. When I saw "red triangle", I just kept pressing power and press volume up and then it brought me to recovery page. However, be careful, after I did data wipe, I lost all of kernels, rom, cwm recovery...in my phone. it was my first time to flash a phone so I must have done something wrong so now I have 4.1 but re-locked and don't know how to root it again and get CWM back. But at least, you can try power and volume up when you see "red triangle" to enter recovery mode.
sueshake,
thanks for that handy tip with the power and vol up combo. At least now I have some access to phone...thanks
will keep u updated on the progress
You are welcome. Be careful if you want to do superwipe. I guess I almost bricked my phone by doing that. Fortunately, I did flash 4.1 stock rom successfully before wiping data, though I am not sure how I made it from 4.0.4.

tried to boot in to recovery and got a screen with a white triangle and a yellow exclamation point inside above an android robot.
the suggestion is to battery pull. anyone else have this issue? if so, what's the procedure on reboot?
thanks.
I think that's the Stock Recovery Menu ( i kept getting it when i was trying to install the Patches from Fresh & used Clockwork Recovery because the two weren't compatible ).
Do you definitely have a Custom Recovery installed?
You pressed the power button instead of the optical trackpad when trying to reboot from custom recovery
Optical trackpad? What Evo has one of those? LMAO!
Flash Clockwork recovery or AmonRa recovery. You have stock (no recovery).
It is hard to answer your question without further specifics.
For example:
1.) Are you rooted?
a.) If yes, what are you trying to boot into recovery for? - flash radio/wimax or rom???
b.) If no, go to Android Development and read how to Root and install a custom recovery.
2.) If you have a custom recovery, what is it?
to put it simpler than this.
1. What ROM do you have?
2. What custom recovery do you have?
3. What step did you do to get into recovery? - from android or from boot up?
*If you pull a battery while trying to flash a radio, you might have the coolest looking paper weight in your part of the town
Hello shawnathan9!
I have similar problem with my Nexus one.
I have a rooted phone (used superoneclick to root)
Installed clockworkmod and flashed it with the recovery image.
Since I wanted to install latest cynogenmod I used clockworkmod to install the latest radio for it. Now when the phone rebooted it is hung diplaying a white triangle with and exclamation mark inside it. I haven't removed my battery yet and have plugged it to a power source. Can you help me ?
You're rooted, but you are trying to access recovery, but you don't have one loaded. Search google for Amon_RA or clockwork recovery to flash. If you have rom manager, you should be able to flash either or and it should work.
I did the unrevolked 3 and got it rooted. Then I booted it up into the recovery mode and ran clockworkmod. Now how do I get a rom (like mikfroyo 4.5) on it? I tried booting and selecting a zip from my sd card(which mikfroyo 4.5 is on it in zip form still) But it would not finish/aborted ? What am I doing wrong? I have the sptint HTC EVO 4 g phone with all the latest hboot ect on it.

That is part of updating the radio. Just let it finish and it will reboot into recovery. The phone has to go to that screen to update the radio. You may be able to save it by booting into that screen and just let it sit there for a while...eat dinner...take a dump...do whatever and come back and see if your phone is in recovery. I would turn it off and charge it first to make sure you have enough battery to finish the update.
I have the same experience, when I updates to Gingerbread (OTA).

Hello thank you so much for your information. I will leave the phone in that mode (screen hung with triangle an exclamation mark inside + android green logo below) and plug in the charger, until tomorrow morning. Then I have a question if tomorrow the phone still hung in that screen mode, what I have to do?
If you can give me solution, I would be very thankful. Happening in August 23, 2011.

After 2 days, trying to download updates firmware (OTA) GingerBread on HTC Evo 4G, I failed because the phone has been rooted, I found a "superuser permision" app. in the the All apps menu.This meant it is a rooted android phone, which will not permitted to update firmware OTA, is this true? If yes, this is the cause of screen hung at triangle with exclamation inside, and android green logo below.

white triangle with the exc symbal with the android symbal. have to pull the battery out ot reset but phone still loads up and works.
Hi there, I NEED URGENT HELP!
I bricked my e739, and I am running out of the options. All I see is the LG logo, I can not access my recovery mode, I tried numerous times (and before i succeed now the logo doesn't even blink it stays the same) hard reset...nothing, tried adb recovery (does not see the device).
So here is the story, I successfully updated my ROM to e739 Nightly 6. After using it for a bit, I decided to go back to stock, and just wait until all bugs are worked out. So i tried to go back to my backup that I made of stock, but no dice it got me in recovery loop, after that I tried to go factory reset, nothing. I couldn't find any way to go back to stock, so I made it my mission to reset the phone. Here where I [email protected] up, I read that using e730 (older) rom will let me out this loop and allow me to get back to the stock. So here are my steps of mischief: installed Nightly ROM 12 for e730-> then I flashed the device to LG optimus Black (dont ask why...I realize it is stupid) -> and through privacy setting clicked for factory reset. Now I am in this bootloop.
I will take any suggestions please help, it really sucks in the stone age, with edge speeds.

Hold Power and Volume Down, then after 3 seconds hold Menu and Back (not home) and when the LG logo pops up, release the Power button but keep holding Vol-, Menu, and Back.
It may take some try a to get it right.

And make sure to pull the battery and put it in again when starting to hold the Power and Volume Down

This sounds like it might work, but O got another tiny bit of problem, I been trying to reset it so many time the phone wont turn on anymore unless it is plugged into power source. I am not sure what to do now. I want try to hard reset your way but I can get the phone to respond anyway unless it is plugged in.
Well plug it in lol
I've had several bootloops myself trying to get to stock, but i always got to acces recovery and flash CM again. And now that tthe RC was released, i don't see why i should return to stock.

1) Pull the battery out
2) plug ur phone to a computer (on the screen you should see a battery icon indicating the phone is charging)
3) locate your adb folder in my case it's c:\adb once your in there write adb reboot recovery...that should get you to the recovery....
good luck..

Hello, I have been having some issues with my LG E739[KW], the device was working properly. I rooted install CLOCKWORK custom recovery. After that I installed, CM9 then later CM7, the CM7 worked okay but i opted to revert to Stock So I used the LG SUPPORT TOOL to flash back to stock ROM. however after having done so the phone has been stuck in boot loop ever since. After flashing the stock ROM the phone never made it past the boot screen, and when I remove the Battery reinsert it and try to turn the phone on I get the S/W update screen. Where I have to flash it again for the phone to boot only to be stuck at the boot animation. I have also tried flashing it VIA the KDZ method but its the same result. Please Help !!!
Hey all - I have spent about 9 hours at this so far and thinking I may have bricked my Xperia Arc.
Here is an outline of where I am right now:
Phone previously on CM7, rooted & had CWM recovery.
Spotted the Team Xperia ics v2.5 and decided to give it a look.
Phone froze on splash screen - I stayed patient but an hour later, still nothing.
After this, I'm not really sure where I went at this stage!
The situation right now is that I have stock SE LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic+Global flashed to phone.
On boot, the splash image comes up, then a disconcerting white triangle with yellow exclamation point..... uh oh!
The phone continuously reboots through that loop.
Tried accessing bootloader (power on, toggle vol buttons) but the phone just goes straight by to boot loop.
Checked what I can connect to and can use flashboot to connect in both flashboot mode and fastboot mode.
SuperOneClick freezes (Not Responding) on restarting adb sever stage (I've made sure adb.exe has not been running prior to this)
Completely stuck now - any help rewarded through contributions - sure you'd be saving me the cost of a phone....
Thanks for any help!
Tony
You must press the back button to go in fastboot mode. That's the buttons left. If you press it on starting the phone, your led turns blue.
If it works, try to flash the firmware again.
If your phone's bootloader is unlocked then use fastboot to boot a kernel(if you're trying to run.42 then doomlords gb kernel), once that's flashed wipe dalvik cache via cwm and reboot.
Hi,
I've attempted the JB update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737899..
fastboot flash boot boot.img etc.. which said all was well..
But now find that my phone will not boot up, doesn't get past the Google and unlock screen.
I've tried all combinations of volume buttons, I can get to the fasboot menu where I can choose either Recovery Mode, Power Off, Start or Restart bootloader.
None of these appear to do anything, recovery goes to the google a screen followed by an Android on it's back with an exclamation mark over it.. then goes to the Google and unlocked icon screen and stays there...
I fear my phone is bricked... Please help..

1.) Your phone is far from bricked at all. You have access to the boot loader (i.e. the screen with the options). The recovery you're seeing is stock recovery. All you need to do is go into boot loader and fastboot flash recovername (CWM) and you will have your custom recovery back to wipe data and reinstall a rom or restore a nandroid backup
Mine is doing the same thing, weird thing is, it was working since yesterday on jellybean, it just randomly froze this morning and and now won't boot..
im currently at work so i don't have admin rights to do a fastboot flash..
any idea why it would randomly stop working when i havn't flashed anything on it besides the jb rom?
Sorted..
Thanks for the comments.. yeah i was over-reacting a bit there..
I downloaded the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, got a stock rom form gopogle, flashed it.. back to normal, well, it will be after i restore the CWM backup i took.. phew..
Thanks again
Ian.
Still stuck
I'm also stuck in the same situation(google with the unlock screen). I fear I'm a little more stuck. I also can see the recovery/restartbootloader screen. However, everything I try still comes back to that same google screen and gets hung up. Need some help!
this has happened twice today and i think it from using volume+

Boot into recovery, wipe cache, Reboot
So here is a little back history.
I just recently purchased a GNexus from Sprint
Unlocking Bootloader and flashing Twrp went Great.
Backing up original stock rom went great!
My First Issue
My problem started when I flashed a JB rom. I notice that the phone was taking extremely long to boat up. Stuck at JB Boot Screen for about 45mins. I immediately thought that okay. .maybe im missing some type of requirement or twrp needs to be updated. So I battery pulled my phone.Attempted to go back into recovery and restore my old stock backup. WIth that being said i found that TWRP is corrupted. I did another battery pull and tried once more (same results)
I did another battery pull and booted to the bootloader when I selected recovery this time a screen popped up that allowed you to a factory reset (It was not the original TWRP Screen) My idiotic mistake was that I choose yes which then deleted my nand backup. As you now see I have a nexus that does not have a rom installed
I have been able to successfully adb push twrp back to my phone and TWRP comes up when I boot into recovery.
Here comes my second issue.
When I adb push a rom to the sdcard it transfer fine. I have been told to reboot recovery when you adb push a file to it. Therefore I reboot the phone and boot back into recovery to find out that the rom is gone. I have even tried to just directly flash the rom when I transfer the rom to the phone via adb push. TWRP states that the rom installed successfully so i reboot and the phone is still at a softbrick stage where I just have the google logo and the unlock bootloader at the bottom. When I boot back into recovery the rom.zip is no where to be found.
I have tried recovering by using ODIN and successfully followed each step for the GNEXUS CDMA\LTE version. Once again upon reboot I still receive the google bootloop of death.
Can anyone help me get my phone back to normal I will truly appreciate. I don't believe I truly bricked my phone because of that fact that I can still boot into bootloader, recovery and ODIN mode.
Specs of my phone: (From Bootloader Screen)
Product Name - tuna
Variant - toro 23GB
HW Version - 14
Bootloader Version - PRIMELD02
Baseband Version - L700.FD02 CDMA - L700.FD02
Carrier info - None
Serial Number - (Do I have to list this?)
Signing - Production
Lock State - Unlock
Once again any help is truly appreciated. I only had this phone for one day.. lol only made 2 calls on it before I screwed it up :laugh: (On stock rom)
After you ODIN stock it will bootloop. You don't have a custom recovery anymore, but if you remove the battery and then do "powers and both volume keys and select recovery" In recovery you will see a android with a red X. Press "power and both volume keys again" This time you have android system recovery that's in blue. Choose "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" . Then "reboot system now" after all that's done. You phone will boot up to factory in 3-5 min.
Reread everything you said... First thing first get back on stock. I used Odin method. Then follow steps above as it will bootloop.

Thanks
After trying what you stated above i was able to successfully return to stock.
Thanks again for your help.. It's funny how something so small can lead to hours of debugging and searching for the answers.
Hey look on the bright side....you won't make the same mistake again!
I made the mistake of flashing the Touch CWM last week and accidentally wiped my SD instead of System as I was trying to flash a new rom with a full wipe....I wasn't impressed!
So now I'm back to the non touch screen recovery which I'm used to and harder to make a mistake on.
