unrooted and relocked on stock JB
stock recovery.img flashed
--------------------------------------
i think i searched enough about this, so here what is happening:
from the bootloader i scroll down to recovery then the power, THEN instead of getting the green circle i get a red rectangle.
i know i have to press power + vol up to access the blue menu [default android recovery] but it is not working.
help, thanks
Why did you relock the bootloader , and what stock recovery did you flash ?
i flashed a recovery.img file extracted from the jb ota zip file and actually i followed a tutorial to unroot [trying to learn things].
Seems fine, I can't get you my stock recovery at the moment to test. I have to much traffic on it so my public links have been suspended for 3 days
And you can not enter the recovery at all. I would try to flash the stock recovery again. This time take the one from the stock backup collection thread in the general section. They are located in the OP !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
As far as i know you cannot enter a stock recovery. Of you where unlocked, rooted and on a custom rom before and want to restore a previous backup or backup your current stock one, you are going to have to flash a custom recovery (cwm or twrp) and restore or backup from there. Hope this solves something for you!

No that's right flashing from a stock recovery is impossible but you should be able to enter it ! And if he can't something is wrong
Still learning a lot myself mrhoffs (you've been a big help yourself btw). Didnt know you could enter stock recovery, another thing copied to my brain, THANX!

Yeah we all learn stuff here, even myself ! But it is as he described in the OP, by pressing the buttons you should leave the warning sign and enter the stock recovery. The warning sign is just a warning that you are about to enter something you should not mess with

I flashed CM10 onto my phone a couple weeks ago, everything went smoothly. Today, I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader so that I could receive the stock JellyBean update. Well I download the update, reboot phone into fastboot, attempt to go into recovery and I get the red triangle !. I know this is an issue with the phone apparently not finding a recovery boot but why didn't my reverting to stock reinstall the stock recovery? Does anyone have any guides they suggest to get stock recovery back? (I've found a few but thought I would ask).
Now, this is understandable that my phone can't boot into recovery since I flashed CM recovery onto it and whatnot, but I attempted to boot into recovery on my girlfriends phone (same phone, NEVER BEEN UNLOCKED OR FLASHED) and it can't boot into recovery either... Is something going on here or am I just missing a huge piece of the puzzle? I don't really want to have to flash anything on my girlfriends phone to fix it, she's not into the tinkering and would rather not have her data reset. Any help would be appreciated.
And for the record, I did a search to figure this out but at the very least I can only find solutions for people who have flashed CM or similar and nothing pertaining to the problem my girlfriend's phone has.

It worked, I'm on stock ICS, but I didn't do ANYTHING after booting into ICS again and attempting to install JB and booting into recovery. Did I miss something? How do I "flash recovery"?
Unzip the factory image you get from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Then use fastboot to flash the recovery.
EDIT: red triangle doesn't necessarily mean the recovery is broken. It's just the way it is. If you wish to flash a 3rd party ROM you'll need to flash a 3rd party recovery.

I think you are confusing a few things here. First off, the Android with the red triangle IS the stock recovery main screen. (If you want to flash the update manually, you need CWM -- go into fastboot mode and type: fastboot flash name-of-recovery.img, where name-of-recovery is the recovery that you downloaded and want to flash.) Second, you need the stock recovery for an update to install over-the-air, but you need a custom recovery if you want to flash it manually.

this happened. you installed stock recovery when you reverted, whats the surprise?
and you dont need to relock bootloader to successfully update through ota. seems to me know the op needs to refine his searching skills.

So in the context of my girlfriend's phone where nothing has been done to it in the 4 months she's had it, why would it be giving the recovery error? Also, does flashing the recovery wipe the phone?
It's funny too because I just got the JB OTA but I'd still like to get this figured out.

run the update manually (found on the Update link on efrants sig) through cwm, that should give you a more detailed description of whats going on.
flashing a recovery doesn't wipe the device. unlocking will, btw. its not an error, its the stock recovery!

Alright, I think I got it... so the android with the red ! triangle IS stock recovery? I just remember on my Nexus S being able to boot into recovery and load up a stock .zip update manually without any custom recovery mod. Is this not possible on the Galaxy Nexus then? So what does the stock recovery DO other than sit there and reboot after a minute?

I'm trying to get cwm recovery on my htc ove v VM. I have unlocked boot loader and rooted successfully. When i fast boot the recovery image, it says sending writhing and done. When I reboot and try to boot cwm it just stays on the htc screen with the red letters, is this normal? I should think not. I'm sure this has happened to someone else I just need a solution. Any advice would be great.
Hi
CWM is not recommended for CDMA AFAIK
Use TWRP for CDMA instead

I got CWM flashed using the android ultimate tool found on this site. Before that nothing worked. The only minor thing is that you have to scroll through the cwm menus three times to get to where you can select with the power button, but then it works fine. I've made my nandroid backup. But haven't flashed a rom yet... kinda nervous about getting into that one, But if you guys have any suggestions about STABLE roms, that would be helpful as well. Thanks,

Okey doks, just received my new HTC One V and got myself in a pickle.
Using CWM 6.0.1.5 made a nandroid backup of the stock phone. The I proceeded to do flash the rom & kernel to CM10 nightly following all the directions. Then noticed it was able to boot into CM10 JB; however, it would keep saying the keyboard stopped working and after a min or so would reboot. So I then proceeded to try to go back to stock then I got md5 mismatch.. i was like wtf.. so i decided to flash the recovery to CWM 5.5.0.4 and now im stuck at the recovery and when i press the power button to select an option in CWM all my options just disappear. If press power again my options come back but if i try to select any and hit power it just disappears again. What to do?

Yea I tried renaming the backup and it still says mismatch md5. But anyways I put CWM 6.0.1.5 back on it and decided to try loading a different rom. I data/cache/dalvik wiped the phone, installed from zip AOKP PrimoC (I did CM10 the same way), Rebooted phone to fastboot and grabbed the boot.img from AOKP PrimoC zip and threw it in my fastboot folder and used:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
rebooted and i get a black boot screen and it just keeps rebooting. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
You are probably gonna have to follow this:

And in clockworkmod 5 you have to use the volume buttons to scroll through the list from top to bottom a few times before using the power button to select items. A quirk but it will work after you do that. Let us know your results.

your phone will charge in bootloader and recovery. and im pretty sure thats the radio i had when i was bootlooping, and the ruu downgrade fixed it. just remember to relock your bootloader, and follow the instructions in that guide to pull your stock recovery and flash that back in fastboot.
Having a space " " in the Backup name also gives md5 md5 Error

Please post all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
Hello, I am In serious need of some help.
My problem is that my device boots up to the HTC logo with the red writing then the lightning bolt shows and the short boot video plays but the sound is all distorted and cuts out half way through. Then it reboots. This is an endless and annoying cycle so I hold power + volume down and run fastboot to get the shutdown option.
Here is what I did.
I was trying to root my device so I unlocked the bootloader. I then was going to use r1-primo-cdma-superboot.zip but my computer was having trouble downloading the file and I ended up getting redirected to Tweaked Stock Boot.img I then flashed the device with fastboot and that .img file and got a broken phone as a result.
Since then I have tried many things including the RUU but I wasn't sure what one to use so I tried multiple RUU files that sounded right however I kept getting "error 115 : Unknown Error" when trying to recover.
I am more than happy to provide any information and I understand some is needed to properly diagnose the issue but I am not sure what information is needed or how to access it.
Also I downloaded PACman v15.3 primoc inyourface09.zip and flashed the kernel. Before I did that I only got the HTC boot image on startup. After flasing the kernel the boot loop included the lightning bolt and short boot video with distorted sound. I could not flash the ROM though because the "/sdcard" dir is an internal directory and the actual sd card dir is "/sd-ext" so the bootloader cant do it. I also tried sideloading the PACman.zip with "adb sideload PACman.zip" with no luck.
Sorry to just throw all this out there but I really don't know what else to do I have been trying to figure this out for 3 days straight lol so I look forward to hearing any advice at all.

Yes I did try that but it didn't work. I think the problem is that I don't have a ROM but I also have no way of flasing the ROM to the device because the sdcard mounts as "/sd-ext" but the bootloader will only look in "/sdcard"
Thanks anyway lol
You can't access the recovery? (if you didn't flash a recovery, download one, cwm or twrp and flash it via fastboot) if you can access it it will let you install roms

I can access the recovery via the bootloader but as I mentioned the bootloader tries to find the .zip file in "/sdcard" and my sdcard mounts to "/sd-ext" also when I try to sideload via adb all I get is the adb help screen. Its like adb sideload <filename.zip> isn't the right command.

Sorry but this sdcard and sdext is confusing, access the recovery and try to install zip from sd card (or sd ext), always put the roms in your micro sd, if from the recovery you can see the rom, then you have no problem at all. Once you install the rom, you go in the bootloader and flash the kernel, but not from the recovery, you flash it via fastboot.

Ok this makes sense. So from what I can tell the device was soft bricked and the /sdcard would not mount. I saw a fix that required the stock recovery but I couldn't get it to work however I did fix the issue by flashing the TWRPrecovery.img and formatted to ext3. Now I can flash ROMs but they keep bootlooping.
The new ROM boots up and about 2 minutes after everything is done it reboots. I have tried a few different ROMs and always wipe the data and everyhting but I cant find any answers.
Any Ideas?

cant boot into recovery
Hi, dont know if im posting this in the right section, but i have my one v rooted and the bootloader unlocked. i flashed the boot.img over and it was successful. i at first kept getting the phone with the triangle and red exclamation mark then after using the all in one tool kit i recieved after trying to boot into recovery the white htc start up screen with "this build is for development purposes only". i have cwm and twrp on the phone and tried to flash the cwm boot.img if im not mistakin. i just need to know why i would be getting this and what steps i may have missed in the process would be helpful. thank you in advance.
I've unlocked my Three (3) branded M8, installed TWRP and rooted my device (I've also tried out MaximusHD Rom, but decided to restore my original ROM from recovery as I couldn't get some software to load with it).
Three are now pushing out the updates for the M8 and I've tried to install it but it fails. Could someone tell me what I need to do? Back on my One X i needed to re-install stock recovery and re-lock the bootloader. Will I need to do this also?
Only flash the stock recovery if you can get one. Relocking the bootloader is not needed.....

Thanks. I'll try that now. So I am guessing once, I've completed doing that. I can then re-flash the TWRP and I'll probably need to root the phone again. Will let you know how it goes. There is a stock recovery that someone posted previously.
What you said worked perfectly, and funny enough I got the original stock recovery from your Thread. Can I ask how I would go about getting a backup of my current recovery now that I've updated my phone?
I tried what you mentioned in your thread about fastboot boot recovery recovery-name.img (yes i did put the recovery name in) but just got an error stating "cannot load 'recovery'".
Thanks for all your help.
Update: I notice that I can still boot into the system and have root even though I'm on the stock recovery, as if I go into Recovery I end up with the HTC Phone and red triangle. Does this mean there is no real reason for me to re-install TWRP? As all I really cared about was having Root.
What you have now is the stock rom and recovery + root. No reason to flash a custom one if you don't want to flash any mods or themes.
To create a new backup you can put the custom recovery in the fastboot folder and indeed perform the command :
Fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
If it can't load the recovery you either typed the wrong recovery name or it's not in the fastboot folder. And the f you have a stock nand to share in my thread would be awesome !

Note that the command is fastboot boot recovery.img
The 'recovery' command will not register. I did it last night
Also, for future reference, I can perform a factory reset with the stock recovery and it will return me to stock even if I have rooted my device? I elected not to install TWRP, but instead just run it temporarily so that I could root leaving my stock recovery intact. Seems like a pretty straightforward answer which is 'yes' but just want to clarify. I have the stock ROM installed (AT&T)
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Yes that's what i wrote right ?
Can you elaborate more on the not registered part ?
And yes factory reset will set it back to stock. Not sure if it will delete root. But all accounts and data will be gone !

You wrote: fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
The command is: fastboot boot recovery.img (You do not need to specify the 'recovery' before 'recovery.img')
And by not register I suppose I just mean its an unknown command if you specify a partition/kernel before the 'recovery.img' portion. I'm not sure if I'm using the vocabulary correctly

The command is: fastboot boot recovery.img (You do not need to specify the 'recovery' before 'recovery.img')
And by not register I suppose I just mean its an unknown command if you specify a partition/kernel before the 'recovery.img' portion. I'm not sure if I'm using the vocabulary correctly

No problem I meant no disrespect! I was actually surprised you don't need to specify the partition for a temporary image....From my research it looks like they have may have changed that fastboot command from Android 4.3

haha disrespect ? no no all oke, i was wrong and you where right....you corrected me and thats great ! I also have to learn :good:
Mr Hofs, in my scenario where I have returned to stock recovery, installed the update from three. How would I go about backing up my current recovery? I've tried what you have done in your thread but there is no recovery file in the back up.

Yeah that's a strange thing. The backup from fisha21 didn't have a recovery either yet the ones made by guywithdesire1992 did have ?! I'm confused about that ! Can you check certain options in twrp maybe ?
Okay, will make a back up over to my computer and then try again. Will report back.

If it doesn't work you can also try philz touch, see if there is a difference ?

Yep did it with Philz touch and it now includes a recovery.img although it's filesize is 21MB compared to the regular ones. But now at least I have a backup of the recovery. Will upload to a location and post on your thread soon.
Thats awesome ! Really appreciate it
So to be clear, you booted philz and made a nandroid. So the recovery should be the stock HTC one ?
One way to check is to flash the recovery.img that's in the backup folder and enter it. If it gives a phone icon its stock
