[q] what is stock recovery do?

I was planning on unlocking and rooting and putting on CWM today, but before I did that went into fastboot, just to see what the screen look like before.
So I decided to see what stock recovery in case i need to go back and exchange for some reason so I know it normal, and when I get into stock recovery all I see is a little green cylinder with a red !
I cannot do anything, if i hit any of volume keys nothing happens.
eventually somehow I get phone to reboot by holding power down. I have tried this twice and get the same thing.
I would assume I would see some form of text? like restore factory default or something?

just flash CWM..... you can reinstall stock recovery by flashing stock google images... you'd do that anyway if you ever wanted to return it for warranty purposes to get rid of custom ROMs etc
stock recovery will look something like this (not exactly because this is from a OLD phone but you get the idea)

Thanks.
I finally did figure it out in case anyone needs this as well.
Once get to screen with exclamation point hold power down first then hit volume up. Has to be in that order.
After that you get blue menu with 4 different options.
But like you said all moot once I put CWM on it.

[Q] D2SPR Stuck on splash screen after nightly flash.

Ok... so I'm not a n00b and I know what I'm doing, I just don't exactly know how to recover from this. I think the only time I've ever had this problem was a hardware issue with my Evo4G.
I flashed my nightly for 9/6/13 CM10.2 and now it won't boot to recovery or Rom. Both won't get past the splash screen. Download loads fine. It says I have custom binary and one flash on the flash counter (I use Triangle Away).
Once I can get into recovery, I should be ok... just need to get there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Whell maybe you can adb into recovery from a computer or if you cant figure that out just odin back to stock and start over
If you like my work or I have helped you press thanks

It is a known issue that that nightly doesn't boot. Just put a ROM or working nightly on your sdcard (if you have one) and just flash it over or clean flash. Your choice. As long as you can get into recovery, no big deal.

Lost custom recovery but still have root

I am running stock 4.3 rooted. When I rooted I installed custom recovery. My phone has been choppy lately so in hopes that it would make my phone run smoother I tried to go into recovery (first time in ages) to wipe cache and dalvik. When I tried to go into recovery I got a "no commend' error and then regular stock Android recovery started. In the background was a dead android robot with a "!" symbol coming out of him.
I wiped cache with stock recovery and then selected the reboot option. The phone didn't reboot, I got "error!" message and that was it. I powered down, restarted and everything is back to the way it was. But what happened to my custom recovery? What should I do at this point to get it back?
Only thing I can think of is at some point I accidentally clicked on the OTA update notification. So my phone tried and failed to update because I'm rooted. Could that cause problems? What should I do?

[Q] Help, TWRP and CWM somehow installed at the same time. can't boot into phone OS

So, I attempted to install Cyanogenmod via the installer, it didn't work. So manually, I went and looked up a tutorial and it said to install TWRP because cyanogen wasn't working for me. I installed that and I booted into recovery. It opened CWM, weird. So I try to start the phone, it boots into TWRP. eventually I attempt to install Cyanogen to see where it gets me, I install it and when I boot it does nothing. you see samsung logo then blackness. I am assuming because TWRP didn't get removed from it. I can still access recovery and download mode. What to do next Also flashing with odin did not fix it.

Flash a different ROM in recovery or the stock tar with Odin. Those are your only options. I also highly recommend Philz Recovery.

Do you think that it's TWRP stopping it from starting?

Odin fails at "Custom Modem Binary", pulling my hair out here.

So I thought I'd relive a bit of nostalgia and I ordered a phone I used a lot back in 2012/2013, the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160), on eBay.
It arrived, but it was already rooted and was definitely sporting some custom rom. Seemed a bit odd. So I searched through my computer backups and found an Official 4.1.2 Stock Firmware for the I8160. Cool.... I'll just flash that with Odin.
NOPE.
When Odin gets to flashing the modem.img it fails, and on the device screen there's red writing saying "Custom Modem Binary !!". Weird. I decided that maybe this phone was from another region so I downloaded another official rom but it came up with the same error. i have now tried over 10 different region roms, including one for the I8160P. All failed. You can see on the device it clearly says "GT-I8160", so I really don't get where I'm going wrong.
I tried using emergency firmware recovery in Kies but it doesn't even recognise the device. Or at least it doesn't show up on the list of devices requiring firmware recovery.
Does anyone know what the hell I'm doing wrong?? It's almost as if I'm flashing the wrong device model. I'm stumped.
(PS. The 13 counts of custom firmwares in the image are from all the different roms I've tried to revive the device)
