Red exclamation mark is normal. Welcome to stock recovery. Press up+power to get inside. See this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=mN1dy_t2K_U#t=68s
Hi thanks for the reply.
I managwd to access the stock recovery though no option to reset phone, just load from usb or adb, or wipe/factory reset.
How do I get the phone back to out of box condition i.e reset phone, clearing all

Wipe data/Factory reset. That will format all the data. But not the sdcard.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
before doing this the adcard was not accessible, hence I read to reset then phone to stock would correct the issue of the sdcard, it doesn't.
The sdcard is still inaccessible.
What I need I think,
format all back to stock with all wipe and reset/restore.
How to accomplish this?

Do the stickied FAQs or guides not show up for you? Because there is likely 2 or 3 of those that would answer your question(s).

Thanks for all, but I guess I knew that, my situation is I couldn't access the internal storage of the phone and all factory rests and revert back to stock wouldn't give access to the 'internal storage' nor could I mount anything using CWM, TWRP or via adb.
Eventually I used WUGFRESH SW and vola. solved.

Stock recovery doesn't have ADB acess enabled. You need either to sideload stuff ( 'adb sideload' ) or boot a custom recovery.
That said, dont open 2 threads for the same issue. So many threads are essentially the same and its almost impossible to make sense of duplicates. Reported.

Hello folks,
Ok here is my problem. First my phone is a Marvelc EVT1 / S-On RL, my Bootloader is "unlocked"
I was foolishly exploring the options in TitaniumBackup Pro and selected the clear dalvik cache and the disassociate dalvik from system (a dumb move, I know). So when I restarted my phone it got caught up in a bootloop from the MetroPCS splash screen to the HTC boot screen. I can get into HBoot just fine however, when I select factory reset, it goes into the factory install screen, then reboots into the bootloop process. When I select recovery I get into the recovery menu and can select reboot, install update from SD, wipe cache/factory reset or clear user info, but still even after doing all of that and selecting reboot, it goes back into bootloop. I didnt have clockwork installed because I thought Titanium would suffice as a backup utility.
Ive looked a few custom mods but I can't figure how to get them on my phone without access to the Android UI. I kinda figure that my phone is not a total lost cause because when I connect it via USB, the Android Composite Interface device as well as a hard drive icon appears when I connect the phone via USB. So I'm really desperate for some comprehensive instructions on fixing this issue if it is even possible. Any help would be super.
Thanks in advance,
Gary
EDIT: removed picture.
Obviusly the OP managed to edit his post to more than "Hello folks"
Maybe you could fast boot flash clockwork with adb then flash one of insinks metro roms (just an idea I don't know to much about this)
Sent from my HTC_A510c using Tapatalk
You need to fastboot clockwork mod recovery onto your phone, then from cwm you need to wipe your cache, dalvick cache and factory reset the device. After that place the rom if your choice on your sdcard and flash it. Follow the thread for your rom for specific roms

Thanks a ton for your info. I'll try that however every CW mod tutorial I've read always assumes that I had access to the android GUI. So I didn't understand how i could actually install it to phone. Your words are encouraging and I don't feel that this is a lost cause. Back to the research table/drawing board.
Thank again,

you need to have ADB setup so you can push the rom in CWM.

Okay. How exactly do I go about doing that?

From what the op said, he's fully wiped /data including /data/media. And he'll need to reboot a ROM to rebuild the sdcard stuff (at least that's how it's seemed from my experience) and I'm assuming he's wiped /system. So he's pretty hosed for the adb method.
If he just flashes a system.IMG, he should be able to fix his issue.

But the sdcard structure is erased, and at least from my experience, you need to boot into a ROM to properly fix sdcard. Unless twrp allows you to flash zips not located in /data/media then pushing a zip to /data is useless.

That is true IFF the userdata image is completely erased/formated, which I don't think can happen by using a custom recovery.
Regardless, it seems like he lost all his data, so he might as well flash it back to stock entirely.

If you are using TWRP, sideload a ROM to it and flash that. I think even from CWM you can adb push a ROM to your internal memory. If all else fails, reboot to download mode and ODIN back to stock.

Odin'ing a stock image/package may be a littler easier for me, im a complete novice when it comes to ADB..etc
Well I was able to what I think successfully use Odin to flash stock firmware. The only thing I question is that, I still have all of my pictures that were stored on the phones internal memory.
In stock 3e recovery I also have more options rather then just wipe/factory reset and clear cache....
You really should Google how to use adb, there are some great tutorials from XDA. Everyone is a nub at first. Lol.
Flashing stock doesn't wipe the internal memory, it just does the normal wipes and formats system.

Hello, i am a new user here i came into this forum to get help from people.
I was messing around with r/w and r/o related stuff and accidentally moved something in permissions in a folder named /system i think it read something like rw-r-r after i moved it but that wasn't the format i saw before i moved it also everything started not working as soon as i pressed apply for example (Unfortunately -insert any app or program here- has stopped working)... please help
Also my phone vibrates when its connected but no LED lights are on.
Although the orange light did turn on ONCE and the charging battery too when i rebooted or turned phone off from recovery mode... i don't know how it happened
Here is what is happening to my Galaxy S III phone (SPRINT 4G LTE)
I can go into download mode
I can go into Recovery mode
Odin3 doesn't detect my phone (i assume its cuz i moved the r/w and r/o stuff... and jacked everything up)
Wiping data doesn't fix anything
Neither does cache

Does your computer recognize the phone? You have recovery, which 1? if you can see your internal memory and external sd, you should be able to copy ROM and flash. after wiping completely. of course.

Thats the thing i dont know how to wipe davlik and reflash a rom
Wipe dalvik cache: Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe cache: Mounts and format > Format /cache
Reflash rom (you really shouldn't be messing with stuff if you dont know how to reflash your rom):
Boot into recovery and go to Install > Navigate to folder where your rom is stored > Select it > Confirm / Hit yes / Hit install and slide the bar (TWRP only)
Wait for it to finish, then reboot
It's all in recovery. And just some advice, you shouldn't do anything to your phone unless you know how to fix it. I use twrp recovery and all wipe options are in the wipe menu.

problem is that there is no Advance option. I think my phone goes into its normal Recovery mode. i think the root that it had doesnt work anymore.
The root can not change because you messed with permission, also you should be able to go into your custom recovery, which one do you have? Do you know how to 3 finger into recovery? If you can get into recovery first thing I would do is wipe dalvik, wipe cache and fix permissions and see if it boots. If not then what everyone else said flash a Rom.
Are you sure that is all you did?

Yeah I think he means that he has stock recovery...
If you can get into download mode, just flash a stock rom and start from scratch. Or you can ODIN a custom recovery and then make a backup so that at least your data is safe

Volume down power and home gets you into download like you are now., you want volume up, power and home to get into custom recovery. If you rooted your device properly you should have CWM or TWRP installed as one of the two available custom recoveries.

Ok i installed odin3 1.85 and got a CF autoroot.tar file (idk if i can post full file name)
Odin detected my phone perfectly, applied the .tar file using PDA i just waited how it told me i never touched the boxes on the left unless it told me to.
Then my phone went black and some letters came just like a normal successful root.
My phone rebooted and went home rooted.
it worked perfectly i was satisfied until today i accidentally moved those permissions dealing with r/w r/o Rw-r-r on the folder /system.

Okay, so I bought the n7 v2, went home, unlocked the boot loader, and rooted it. I've tried to flash versions of vanir I built my self, the betas that are posted here on the forums, and I also tried carbon ROM. Every time I flash a ROM, my device bootloops, so I just hold power + vol down to get to boot loader mode so I can boot into recovery. Any fix for this? I've tried flashing a stock IMG and re rooting to. No luck.

Did you boot into the tablet after unlocking the bootloader but before rooting it? If not, try formatting data (not factory resetting) in recovery. I had the same experience and my sdcard never got populated with the default folders and files, remaining at 0MB. Apparently, symptoms of this problem include being unable to factory reset from recovery, being stuck on the splash screen, and having TWRP demand a password.

I'll try that, maybe its because I restore my data after I wipe it that this happens. Another thing I've found is that after I flash and the restore my system partition that I backed up, su says that no subject binary was found, even though I've flashed it a million times. And some root apps don't work because it says no binary is found.
