I have rooted and unlocked my phone using he tool kit which worked like a charm.
My question now is how to boot into recovery? I have a galaxy nexus and I just hold the power button and down volume and it works fine.
Using TWRP recovery that was installed with the root kit.
With this device, it will just boot into safe mode.
My goal here is to install a custom rom.
Also, I am used to flashing the ROM and Gapps with my Galaxy Nexus , but the instructions or this phone always having something about extracting a zip and flashing it after the gapps. What is this for?
Thanks

You have to zip a ROM, gapps, and then flash the kernel. If you're using the all in one toolkit then all you have to do is press "boot into recovery," otherwise you'll have to power your phone off, go into boot loader by pressing your power and volume down button for a bit then in boot loader scroll down to recovery.I'm not 100% sure about how to work your recovery cause I use cwm. I hope this helps though. Good luck.

When i try to hold down the power button and down volume it will boot into safe ode not recovery.
Regarding flashing the kernels, Do they not come with the rom itself like JB Sourcery and all the roms for the Galaxy Nexus?
I would flash another kernel sometimes, like Franco, but that was optional.

no u have to use fastboot to flash kernel boot img and twrp has the option on the main screen to flash zip on it when u get to the main screen it is pretty self explanitory but, to get to recovery using adb just do the command adb reboot recovery in fastboot just replace the adb with fastboot if no p.c. then turn phone of power on and after hiting powerr botton just do power and bottom down and it should take u to bootloader screen
where do I get kernel boot.img? Is that something that comes with the rom like when i flash in my Galaxy Nexus
if I'm not mistaken, this forum is for the HTC One V... maybe the guys in the galaxy nexus forum can help you more?

Alright so heres the deal.
1.Wanted to flash ONE5MOD new ICS rom.
2.So i followed instructions to the T! but later my dumbass read through the discussion and read its not working with ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery
3. Been stuck on hanging goggle sign ever since
Anyone have advice on what I should do from here?
Remove battery, put it back in then reboot into recovery by pressing the volume keys and power button at the same time. Once in recovery try re flashing the rom or restore one of your backups.

.....or ADB flash a different recovery and reflash the rom.
I did a factory reset on my galaxy nexus. I also by mistake erased my internal SD card. So now my phone only boots as far as the google screen because there is not ROM to boot into and when you connect to a computer it doesn't recognize the phone. How do I get a rom on my phone so it works again.
Thanks

Can you boot into fastboot? (Hold the power button and both volume buttons). I would boot into fastboot and reflash the Stock images. Also want to specify which variant you have.. GSM or CDMA if CDMA, verizon or Sprint?
Factory reset from stock or a custom recovery will not wipe the system partition. If you formatted the system partition from a custom recovery you can boot back into the custom recovery and adb push a ROM to your sdcard
Install the drivers on the computer. Then put the phone in fastboot mode like uber mentioned. Then push the rom to the phone and flash it in recovery. If you didnt install a recovery either, youll need one of those too.
Yeah hard to tell by her post if her bootloader is unlocked or not. I didnt think it was possible to wipe system without unlocking the boot loader and flashing a new recovery. Which means she needs knowledge of fastboot to even set that up.
The more i read the OP the more it sounds like unless she bought a used rooted phone off ebay. This thing is stock and just needs to boot to stock recovery and perform a factory reset from there. And that her system is fine.
With then phone off, hold down both volume buttons. Then hold down the power button, once it boots , use the volume keys to cycle and the power button to select. Navigate to recovery and perform a factory reset.

Doesn't matter if its GSM or rooted. Fastboot is independent.
I can boot into fastboot and clockworkmod recovery, but the SD storage is blank. The computer won't recognize the phone. I can't seem to fix it and it's driving me crazy not having a phone. Please help!!

Plug in your phone via USB, in Fastboot mode.
Does it show in the device manager? It might not be called 'Galaxy Nexus', might be called something Fastboot related. It might be in the USB section.
XP:To open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
7: Hit windows key, type in "Device Manager"
If there's a yellow triangle next to the device, the drivers on your PC may be not working correctly.
If it is working correctly, the easiest option is to load the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, and flash stock ROM.
You installed the drivers as mentioned I take it?

[HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid (incl JB) / Return to stock
Take a look at step A. Install the drivers. Note you should also be able to set up the adb drivers while your phone is booted into a custom recovery.
follow the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Install the drivers, then flash the stock image in fastboot, nothing to it.
Whoa there are females on this forum!!!!????? <Sound of a hundred myths shattering>
But anyway, why dont u just flash fastboot stock images?
Whoops, ninja'ed.

THIS. IS. NEXUS.
Ash just install the drivers for the galaxy nexus, download a rom like aokp (the "maguro" version is the gsm version. Dont flash "toro" versions those are for cdma ) and then push it to the sd card using fastboot. All those steps are listed in a lot of posts in great detail by the author mskip and are stickied in the dev section here. Just read his posts for questions or drivers . Its all pretty straight forward once you read the right posts. Id avoid using any toolkits though, its all fairly simple stuff. And dont worry about the geeks here being surprised about seeing females. Some of them have never left the basement before. ( no offence guys , i got no problem with the homosexuals )

Just got my s2 a couple days ago. went ahead and rooted it, threw on a Jedi Knight. I wound up switching recoveries to twrp as well. i like to flash roms alot till i find what i like best (dont we all). I wanted to try pa 2.52 but was unable to get it to bootup so I restored Jedi Knight.. I hit up the pa thread and people mentioned formatting internal storage. So I did that, and managed to get pa 2.52 on without any problems.. In the reboot options bootloader is not there.. So I started with my battery pull options to get there and nothing seems to be working..
some battery pull scenarios:
volume + & power = 1 vibe, samsung logo, let go >> boot back to rom. If I hold past 1 vibe, more continous vibes and no boot up at all
volume - & power = same as above
volume +- & power = 1vibe, samsung logo, let go >> recovery. If i continue to hold past the logo and then let go >> boot back to rom.
I'm trying to get to hboot just so I can see my s-off status & radio versions.. Much thanks..
Boot loader and s-off are for HTC phones not Samsung phones

I can see someone is coming from an HTC phone haha... If you are on the the T989 booting in download is volume down+volume up + power, or recovery mode its volume down + power.
That would be why I am familiar with them.. I left my incredible and got the s2. Is their anything similar to that for us or no? Not that it makes a difference..

Hello I was attempting to get into my bootloader and I can't. If I am in the phone and press the power button I get the option to reboot if I click that I have the option to reboot into recovery, reboot into bootloader, or just reboot. Why have the option to reboot into bootloader if there isn't one?
I thought I booted into the bootloader to factory rest my SGH-T989 when I purchased it from someone was that not the case? was I booting into some sort of recovery?

Yes, you booted into Download mode which is the mode needed to flash your phone over usb with a tool called odin. In most cases it doesn't wipe the /data or /emmc partitions though so the best thing to do is to use the factory restore in android or your installed recovery.

Is there a way to flash a ROM threw download mode without a PC. I remember the Evo was capable of doing it threw bootloader.
Do you want to get root? Or flash a rom?
To boot into recovery it's power+home+vol up

I had root access and I'm currently running a 10.2 nightly of cm 4.3 with a few glitches. So I want to flash a 100% working ROM. I can't boot into recovery with any app due to the fact it requires su permission and I have no binaries according to su. I cant get into recovery either using 3 finger method the Samsung logo appears with the blue words on the top left, but it doesn't do anything after that. ROM manager shows my recovery as twrp so I'm in a pickle....lol
And no on turning on root in settings.
Then you need to find a computer to flash recovery again via odin, otherwise flash a rooted rom via odin.

You can use odin to flash recovery and then you can flash the root.zip it should work. But I would use odin to flash to a stock rom first.

You can flash recovery without a computer.
Download the recovery image file, rename it to rec.img
Go into terminal emulator
Code:
su
dd if=/path/to/rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Be very careful when typing the second command.

That might be a problem I need to type su and since I have no binaries my terminal emulator won't have su privileges.

There isn't an option under settings --> developer options for root? At one time, they had didn't options for apps, adb, or both. You would need the both box checked for it to boot into recovery via an app. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not even sure if they still do it this way.
And it is strange that you can't boot in recovery. Instead of the power off, then hold volume up, home button, and power....have you just tried to reboot the phone and when the screen goes blank hold the volume up and home? I've had luck getting into recovery by that.
Plus, if you are running CM, there should be a reboot option for recovery when you power off. Reboot --> recovery.
Last idea, have you tried to download goo manager from the market? That works well with TWRP.

I tried goo and that didn't work.
Cm does have the reboot options, but it had to be turned on. Developer options doesnt show up under settings, but I remember there was a way to turn it on. I went under "About phone or Device" clicked on everything like 10 times and I forgot which 1 it was, but I unlocked developer options. Turned on reboot menu. Rebooted phone into recovery and although it took a while I got into recovery. Flashed a new rom and I'm back in action.
Thank u guys honestly. I could not have done it without u guys.
Glad u got it

what do you mean by "stock recovery" did you use it to flash HTC recovery back onto the phone?
to get to hboot you can do it a couple of ways. the main way is to power down the device and hold vol - and power and keep holding it till you get into Hboot. it will act like a normal boot but once it gets to the splash screen it will soft boot then show hboot.
if you have adb set up you can just open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot-bootloader
