I do not know what is the problem of my device but I have encountered this issue and still persistent. I have unlocked Galaxy Nexus bought from Play store. I got the notification that the 4.2 is ready to install but this what happened to me during the installation process, i got the android robot with the exclamation mark. I reset my device and wiped everything and try to install the OTA and I still get the same error. Is there a problem with my GN ?
go to recovery mode, hold power button + hold vol down and up button.. after that, hold power button and volume up.. navigate to wipe data(factory reset), reboot device and your Gnex will be back to stock again. :laugh:

i have the same problem!
OTA 4.2
If your rooted i would just flash the OTA version via recovery, there are also other methods that you can get the 4.2 onto the phone by manually flashing the Image manually via terminal

Guys, I unlocked and rooted my Galaxy Nexus but kept everything stock. Downloaded ROM manager and the first thing I did was make a recovery for myself. A few days later, when the 4.04 zip was leaked onto the forums, I downloaded the file and flashed it. I havent messed with anything since.
Come today, I tried to do another back up in ROM manger but my phone does nothing after I execute the commands. Then I tried to reboot into recovery, but nothing happens.
I was able to get into recovery manually (holding down the volume up AND down keys with power button) and when I selected "Recovery" all I got was the android with an open chest plate with a Red Triangle and Black exclaimation point. Screen stayed like that and eventually booted up normally.
I tried to follow the steps listed in this thread to delete /system/recovery........p file and then reinstall cwm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399265
but the problem I'm having is that I am when I try to delete that file with Root Explorer with the mount set to R/W, I get a msg that says it cant be deleted because its read only.
Did I lose root access by flashing 4.04? Is there a way to fix that? I'm still relatively new to all of this so if anyone can tell me whats up in a dumbed down way I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Appa
Emm, there's no need to delete old recovery. Just download recovery image you like, place it o your PC, reboot phone into bootloader and flash recovery.

But I think that's the problem: when I try to get into recovery, I get the dead android guy with the red exclamation point And phone just reboots

Press both volume up and down + power button when you see that. It will bring up the menu.
Flash Clockwork, boot into recovery, and Flash a custom rooted rom.
Droid-Life wrote a quick tutorial just in case

All updates revoke your root access, and replace any custom recovery with the stock recovery (which is the little android with the !). You will need to re-root after every update, and you will need to delete the following files (/system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh) after every update, and you will need to re-flash your custom recovery after deleting those files.
P.S. To access the menu in the stock recovery, when you are at the screen with the android, hold the volume up key and press the power button.
I've recently got the JB update so I installed it, or atleast tried. Because when I try to turn on my phone again it gets stuck on the HTC logo (White screen).
I think somehow my battery went down during the installation and now I can't access my phone anymore.
It's a clean phone, no costum ROM and I haven't rooted it in any way.
Is there a way to fix my problem? (Preferably withour rooting it.)
I tried holding the power and volume down buttons and then selecting recovery but that doesn't work as I just end up getting stuck on the black screen with the Red triangle.

Try going into HBOOT
Hold down Power button & volume down buttons together when the phone is switched off. This will take you into HBOOT.
Select Recovery using the volume down button and press power to select it.
Hopefully it is able to recover and re-flash the firmware.

That is exactly what I did, but I ended up on the black screen with the triangle (As stated in my first post).

Doh missed that bit Sorry to be of little help. Hopefully someone else can proffer a solution.
if it's an unrooted phone, HTC have been very good at fixing phones bricked during OTA in my experience (2 day turnaround)
When you see the phone with the red triangle before you want to enter the recovery press vol - and the power button.....or at least the vol - button. Can't recreate it as i am on a custom recovery. You will bypass the red triangle and will enter the recovery. Maybe a cache wipe wil do, or a factory reset !

I've tried the factory reset be just like the normal boot it gets stuck on the HTC logo.
Clearing the cache might work but doesn't your phone needs to be rooted for that?

I cant recall if wiping cache is an option in the stock recovery !?
One can erase cache using 'fastboot erase cache' after getting the phone to restart in fastboot mode. See here and go to the 'Try this first' section. Hope this helps.

Sounds like hboot version problem with JB upgrade, what version of HOX you have? what version of hboot? , maybe we can unlock your phone and recover the system with custom rom and then rollback to stock rom.

Try this. Pull the battery and reinsert. Hold vol down and power till a white screen appears (hboot). Use vol down key to select recovery and power to select it. A screen will show a phone with an arrow. From that screen hold vol up and power till a menu appears. From the list select wipe cache. Once done select reboot. It should then prompt you again to install it.

modify build.prop documents, can effectively disable OTA

Hi all,
I need some help.
I am trying to help a friend who uses this phone model since 4.3 for I9250 has been out since June this year and his phone still not getting the update. He is still running on stock non rooted but it seems that the last update he got was 4.2.1, not 4.2.2. Tried the OTA but it doesn't detect the new version. I found a guide to install 4.3 manually from ibtimes.uk site but i got stuck at the last step where i need to invoke the Recovery Menu after getting the exclamation mark by pressing Vol Up + Power key. Pressing these two buttons after the exclamation mark appear does not do anything, and i have been pressing for more than a minute. Any ideas how to update his phone to 4.3 without rooting it?
P/S : Can i manually push the 4.2.2 update via ODIN instead, and then push 4.3?
Recovery is volume up and down with the power button.

Hi all. Just taking my Nexus 7 back to stock as Im selling it to a young friend that is not going to need root or custom recovery or bootloader unlocked. I have now got a nexus 10.
When I got the tablet I used Nexus root toolkit to unlock / root and TWRP. I have installed Nexus root toolkit v1.7.2 back on my windows pc. I followed this video off the nexus root toolkit site for unrooting relocking.
Did everything as I was told and tablet went back to stock unrooted & locked. But when I tryed the recovery option in the bootloader I get a dead android with red triangle on him with ! in it.
Opened up nexus toolkit again and had a look in advanced Utilities and did the Restore stock recovery option. still not help still get dead android.
Any ideas? I have downloaded the stock image from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Thanks

Also forgot to say. im running android 4.3 and build: JSS15R
Ok think its sorted lol.
Just been surfing net for last hour and found this.
Shut down nexus 7
Hold volume down and power
At the next screen, press up until it says recovery mode
Press power
You then get the Android with red exclamation
Press power, hold it and then press volume up
This should give the recovery menu.
Result!

Is it normal for the Stock Recovery to be entered through this way? Surely it should just boot into stock recovery from the bootloader menu?
