What happened to android stock recovery?

I had several android phones before
all of them had standard recovery which look like this one:
http://www.omappedia.org/images/b/b3/2011-03-22_19-27-25_273-II.jpg
but when I try to enter recovery mode with the GN I only get android lying (link in operation) with red triangle and exclamation mark.
there is no wipe or other options to choose from.
also the only thing I can do in this state is to pull out the battery.
SO...
where is the stock recovery?

It's right before you. You just need to hit a key combo to get past the warning screen. Perhaps the same one you used to get to the recovery.

if you just leave it, it will reboot by itself eventually

There is no combination to enter recovery directly.
I entered fastboot mode
and selected recovery.

I'd go ahead and try either volume down / volume up / or both at the same time to see if u get into the stock recovery once your at the exclamation screen

Yeah, that is pretty much what I meant by my post. there is only 3 keys.
so it's either:
up vol + power
down vol + power
up and down vol + power
I think it is the last one, since I think that is what takes you to fastboot. I don't have my Gnex just yet. so can't check.

I just tried again all the combination
still nothing

Press the middle of the volume rocker after you are in the fastboot menu and the top selection will scroll the boot options including recovery. Hit power when the desired option is displayed.

Thats what I did to get to the red triangle
I found out what the next combo is
first hold power then add volume up
Thank you

Thanks guys
Spent ages messing found ODIN mode and others then one search and up pops the ansa.

Wow lots of weird answers in this thread.....
In recovery, if you see the android with the exclamation point, press the power key and while holding it press volume up. This will reveal the recovery UI.

Help with stock GNEX recovery

I need to return my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) for an exchange and I'm trying to restore everything back to stock but I'm having a problem with the recovery.
Please tell me if I'm doing this right. I turn on the phone by pressing the volume and power button to get into fastboot. Then I navigate into recovery and press the power button to select recovery.
This brings me to the broken android with the exclamation mark. I've read stuff about pressing volume up and power to go into the recovery.
I want to know if this is normal or if it should take me straight to recovery without seeing the broken android.

Wrong place

Use the GNexus Tool kit to download and flash the Google Stock image. Afterwards just relock the bootloader and you're all set.

That's nice. You didn't really help at all. No answer to the question and you didn't point me to the right place to post this.

Thanks for the response. So, the behavior I'm seeing on my device isn't normal. I just used the Wugfresh tool to restore to stock but I still can't get into the recovery without doing volume up + power.

hold both volume button down and power, then when you get to bootloader volume down til you get to recovery then power to select

That's what I did. After I select the recovery, it brings up the broken android with the exclamation mark. I'm able to get into recovery by pressing volume up and power. I just want to know if that's normal.

The Android with the exclamation mark is completely normal for the stock recovery. To get to the menu, you (copied from mskip's toolkit thread)

Hold the Power button and keep holding as you press the Volume Up button. The blue recovery menu screen should pop up.

That is normal :good:
You may also want to lock the bootloader too, I guess.

Thank you very much for the above answer. That's all I wanted to know before returning the phone.*
Q&A noted for my next question. I've been reading this stuff on this website for about 4 years now. First time I had to post a question. Thanks again.

Phone will not go into download mode [fixed] (now it won't power off)

hello,
i have a brand new Koodo T989D.
I have Kies, samsung drivers and odin installed. I have rooted phones in the past but something is up with this one. It will not go into download mode. volume up+down with power key won't work, powered off volume up+down then connect via USB doesn't work, tried all combinations for t989D.. it seems strange. Odin does recognize the phone (it says connected), but the phone is ON and running OS (with debugging mode)....
everything else works fine though through kies etc.

Isn't it hold volume down and home key and power?

try volume down + power only that's the only way it work on my Telus T898

How to enter recovery/download with a Koodo T989D
I have the exact same phone as you from Koodo and have been able to access recovery/download mode on the phone via button combos straight out of the box.
For RECOVERY MODE the exact button combination for the Koodo T989D is:
Press and hold the "volume up + volume down" buttons, while holding the volume keys press and hold the "power button" until the phone vibrates/screen turns on to the Samsung logo and let go of 'only' the power button. The phone should then display the recovery system image and load to the recovery start up screen.
For DOWNLOAD MODE the exact button combination for the Koodo T989D is:
(As a precautionary, take out your battery and place it back in)
While phone is off, connect the USB to your phone making sure the USB cable is attached directly to a powered USB port (if on a desktop PC, the main USB ports on the motherboard I/O is the safest way to go). Now, press and hold 'only' the "volume down" button. While holding it, press the "power button" until you feel the phone vibrate/screen turn on and let go of 'only' the '"power button". Keep holding on to the "volume down" button until a "warning screen" appears. Once it displays, press the "volume up" button and you should now be in 'Download mode'
Hope that helps you are anyone else who was curious about getting in to recovery/download modes for our KOODO T989D. Good luck!

thank you all
interesting, got it to work after enabling debugging mode..
rooted and unlocked (thanks to owl74 method) but whenever I press power button and select reboot option, it freezes and the bottom buttons stay lighted.. i have to pull battery or long press power button.. it does shut down and power back on but reboot option makes it freeze:silly:
UPDATE: Phone won't turn off even when selecting power off option, it seems to say on with screen black and buttons lighted up.. have to resort to battery pulls

Is this happening with the stock Koodo ROM? Go in to your recovery and do a factoryreset/wipe data, also wipe your cache. Let us know if the issue still occurs.

Please go to this link and download the files under "Koodo T989D TLLG2". Once you finish downloading the files, follow the instructions in the OP on how to re-flash the stock Koodo ROM. That will definitely help you with the issue you are experiencing. Good luck!

[solved]I might have messed up somewhere Stock Recovery

So I downloaded the Stock Recovery from Mr Hofs Collection of Stock Recovery thread in General Section.
I flashed stock recovery, all went well. I attach picture of command prompt to show.
After I flashed it though and went to recovery it just gave me a black screen with a little phone in the middle, in the middle of the little phone was a red triangle with an upside exclamation mark. It was stuck like that for the better part of half an hour(pressed volume down with power, held power alone for minutes on end) nothing. No writing on it nothing.
Luckly as I was busy starting this thread now it just rebooted on its own and went back into the system. Is it totally fixed now or will it give me problems when I go into recovery? Should I go into recovery again?
How do I check if stock recovery is fine now or if there are any problems? I don't want it to hang and/or brick now.
Please if I made a mistake somewhere, tell me what I did wrong for future reference, I don't think I did anything wrong with commands
You can see at bottom of command prompt to, I even tried fastboot devices / adb devices to see if it picks anything up because I get the sound the computer makes when it's connected to USB so the computer at least picked up something.
Should I sell the phone now? lol

Boot again into recovery using the method you described. Once you see the android with red triangle image press and hold the volume up key and then press the power button while keeping the up button pressed. You'll enter the stock recovery.
This is the normal way of booting into stock recovery. You are fine!

I tried going back into recovery, got to the screen with the triangle and and pressed volume up and power button like you said. Instead of then taking me into stock recovery, it just vibrates and then reboots the phone.

hmm...i am running TWRP on GPE so i am not able to test this directly. Let's try one more time, but this time follow these steps:
- go back to recovery and wait for the red triangle screen
- wait for 5 - 10 seconds (don't think this is necessary, but try it anyways)
- this time press both volume up and down keys, and while holding them down press the power button
hopefully this will work. Otherwise i can try on a friends phone in the morning and give you the right combo.

Same thing, just vibrates and then reboots

What are you hoping for? You have stock recovery installed now. You seem to have discovered why there are custom ones.

With no recovery options, is that right though? It doesn't show me anything written on the screen and when I press "up volume and power" this should take you to some options, it gives nothing, it just reboots.
Not right then? Or will it still work fine just as it is now for OTAs?
P.S I have tried all methods given by umsheikh, I downloaded quickboot to try it, I did an adb reboot recovery to see if I can go through there, did it manually, shut off, wait a bit, turn back on go to recovery press power, wait 10secs press up and power, nothing, all of them just reboots the phone. It's bugging me lol
If you say it's right though and there is no need for me to actually see the options that it gives and I'll still receive my OTAs etc then fine, I'll leave it then, but I don't think it's right, is it?

Getting into the options is fiddly, but it sounds right. Try fastboot erase cache

Bricked Nokia N1

Hello, i have bought a nokia n1 with the chinese firmware and i have followed this tutorial for install the taiwan firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/noki...t3083115/page4 #39 .
When i have reboot my tablet after entered this command " dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/pci/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/by-name/system (/pci/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 ", my tablet does'nt boot and stuck at powered by android. I can have adb and fastboot command but i don't know how i can restore my tablet. Anyone can help me ?
Sorry for my bad english and thanks you

If you have ADB access, you can run:
adb reboot recovery
After that you could reinstall using ADB sideload and this file : http://ota-service.oss.fc811.com/upl...&sn=L123456789
My N1 won't give me adb access, so I'm in a worse state than you

Thanks for mentioning. I have tried with volume down + power hundreds of times and my device refuses to go into bootloader. =/
I'm sure I could unbrick the same way you were able to, if i could just get into bootloader one time!

I had some trouble booting straight to the bootloader as well.
I don't know if this helps but anyway: After you power off the device, press and hold the power and vol- buttons. When you see the "Powered by Android" logo, let go of the power button but keep holding the vol- button. The tablet should boot into bootloader mode. I initially made the mistake of holding both buttons the whole time.

Thanks for the tip, i will try that. When I last tried, if I held any button at all, the tablet would never show the "powered by android" screen. It would only show it right after i released all buttons.
