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.
Tried reflashing recovery already? How did you "revert" to stock?

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?

hi i have soft brick my galaxy s3 but its not a simple soft brick and i didn't even try to install a rom are anything i just simply rebooted it and it has been stuck on samsung logo every sense i can get into download mode and cwm recovery and ive tried everything from flashing stock in odin to flashing a custom rom and everything but all i did i root and reboot and it got stuck but ive tried every thing i think please help me if you know the issue im haveing thank you i think this is what happen i picked it up from a verizon galaxy s3 form
there is a risk of the /system and /data partitions not wiping correctly with R/O permissions rather than R/W. This makes it impossible for the phone to boot up because no data can be written this is what i think it could be but i could be wrong so can you guys please help me thank you

hey buddy read the thread follow directions to the tee an you will be fine. Download mode = volume down + home button + power all at the same time. release power on boot vibrate and screen should pop up. then follow thread i gave you and download the RIGHT software for your phone. flash in pda slot and make sure reparation is UNCHECKED. auto reboot and reset time should be the only thing checked.
going to bed have work early in morning good luck when in doubt search and read in dev section in stickies and google is your friend good luck and have fun!

AOKP Error
Alright I downloaded the AOKP Task650 rom and I followed the developers directions to flash some odin files. However, when I tried flashing the roms I got a Status 7 error. I am now stuck loading and all it displays is the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo. I can enter into recovery and I tried wiping everything and rebooting. Nothing works. Please help!!!
I downloaded the AT&T file and flashed it in Odin: here is the link:

Hello there,
I am new to this forum so tell me if I do something wrong
Today I decided to flash a custom ROM ( I already rooted it... ) and wanted to enter recovery mode to make a backup etc. etc.
But when I held Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button it first showed the samsung note II text and then started flickering with something like brown stripes...
Does anyone knows what it is and what the solution is for it?
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed
If you wanted to make a backup you should have a custom recovery so which one?
Which firmware or custom rom do u currently have?

Use Odin 3.07. Run it as Admin if using Windows. Download the NB4 Firmware to your desktop. Inside the .zip will be a "M919UVUFNB4 HOME.tar.md5" file. Extract it to your desktop.
Remove the battery from the phone for about a minute. Put the battery back into your phone and hold down the Vol DOWN + Home + Power buttons until you get to the Download mode. Press Vol UP to enter it. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and wait for Odin to show it in the COM: section. UNcheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Click on the PDA tab and load up the "M919UVUFNB4 HOME.tar.md5" file on your desktop and wait for it to verify md5 (it will freeze for a little bit). Then click Start and see what happens. If it succeeds and says PASS, unplug the phone and hold down the power button until the device turns off and reboots itself. It will be 100% stock once you let it do it's thing and prepare the files.

The kernel not seandroid enforcing message is 100% normal after rooting your phone. That shouldn't have caused you any problems. Try restoring your phone back to stock firmware from above and see if that works. Then proceed to rooting the device again.

Make sure you restore to stock firmware and let the phone boot up at least once before you proceed to root it. Do NOT root it directly after flashing the stock firmware in Odin. If your phone hangs after the seandroid message, pull out the battery and put it back in, and hold Vol UP + Home + Power to boot into the stock recovery and select wipe data/factory reset and then reboot device.

Bro ask all the questions you want. This is a community to help other people. The first thing you should do is install a custom recovery such as TWRP or PhilZ Touch Recovery. I prefer TWRP since it gives less installation errors for some ROMs. Once you install TWRP make a nandroid of the stock firmware and wipe everything. System/Data/Cache/Dalvik-Cache etc. and then install Wicked.

Can you get into recovery my powering off your phone, pull the battery and wait 30 seconds, replace the battery and boot into recovery (hold down volume +, home button and power)?

If you don't have a Dev. Edition I suggest you use Keis to flash your firmware. If you could get into recovery I think clearing cache and delvek would fix your bootloop.
Personally , I'd Odin back to stock. You can find the right files in the sprint section

Yep, I agree with ^^^ since you can get into Unlock Mode. That is probably less of a hassle than dealing with Kies.
