Hi all,
I need some help.
I am trying to help a friend who uses this phone model since 4.3 for I9250 has been out since June this year and his phone still not getting the update. He is still running on stock non rooted but it seems that the last update he got was 4.2.1, not 4.2.2. Tried the OTA but it doesn't detect the new version. I found a guide to install 4.3 manually from ibtimes.uk site but i got stuck at the last step where i need to invoke the Recovery Menu after getting the exclamation mark by pressing Vol Up + Power key. Pressing these two buttons after the exclamation mark appear does not do anything, and i have been pressing for more than a minute. Any ideas how to update his phone to 4.3 without rooting it?
P/S : Can i manually push the 4.2.2 update via ODIN instead, and then push 4.3?
Recovery is volume up and down with the power button.

I do not know what is the problem of my device but I have encountered this issue and still persistent. I have unlocked Galaxy Nexus bought from Play store. I got the notification that the 4.2 is ready to install but this what happened to me during the installation process, i got the android robot with the exclamation mark. I reset my device and wiped everything and try to install the OTA and I still get the same error. Is there a problem with my GN ?
go to recovery mode, hold power button + hold vol down and up button.. after that, hold power button and volume up.. navigate to wipe data(factory reset), reboot device and your Gnex will be back to stock again. :laugh:

i have the same problem!
OTA 4.2
If your rooted i would just flash the OTA version via recovery, there are also other methods that you can get the 4.2 onto the phone by manually flashing the Image manually via terminal
Hi all. Just taking my Nexus 7 back to stock as Im selling it to a young friend that is not going to need root or custom recovery or bootloader unlocked. I have now got a nexus 10.
When I got the tablet I used Nexus root toolkit to unlock / root and TWRP. I have installed Nexus root toolkit v1.7.2 back on my windows pc. I followed this video off the nexus root toolkit site for unrooting relocking.
Did everything as I was told and tablet went back to stock unrooted & locked. But when I tryed the recovery option in the bootloader I get a dead android with red triangle on him with ! in it.
Opened up nexus toolkit again and had a look in advanced Utilities and did the Restore stock recovery option. still not help still get dead android.
Any ideas? I have downloaded the stock image from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Thanks

Also forgot to say. im running android 4.3 and build: JSS15R
Ok think its sorted lol.
Just been surfing net for last hour and found this.
Shut down nexus 7
Hold volume down and power
At the next screen, press up until it says recovery mode
Press power
You then get the Android with red exclamation
Press power, hold it and then press volume up
This should give the recovery menu.
Result!

Is it normal for the Stock Recovery to be entered through this way? Surely it should just boot into stock recovery from the bootloader menu?
hey guys,
I was on 4.1.2 I had a "NO SIM" issue so i decided to try to root and flash 4.4 rom (was using touch recovery 2.7.0.0 all the way)
then it got stuck on samsung logo, I need to know if it's possible to boot RECOVERY MODE either FROM DOWNLOAD MODE or some touch/vol buttons way to boot into recovery, I have tried everything within my knowledge, I start the phone by sliding the battery out and in while USB plugged. or into download mode by holding both VOL buttons. I need to get into recovery and do a full wipe so I can do a fresh jelly bean 4.1.2 again.
thanks!

Are you saying that your power button doesn't work or what? Also, this belongs in q&a. I'll ask a moderator to move it.

EDIT: thread moved.
I'd fix the power button first. Then the rest is easy. You're in for many headaches with a bad power button. Plus, if it acts up while flashing anything, you could be in real trouble.
it's a little urgent on needing the phone to use it, thats why am digging into this. the button wont be here until at least wednesday 13th.
but yeah i guess i'll wait
thanks for your responds guys!
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 that I recently updated through Kies. It's been out of service for over a year that is the reason I went through Kies. Before updating I was on 4.1, and rooted. I say this because I know how to get into Odin, and this is my problem. After updating from 4.1 to 4.4.2(NK2) I can no longer get into Odin. My volume up/down, power button, and home button all work when the device if fully booted. I can get into recovery, and my power button, and the volume up/down keys work in recovery. Do I have a locked bootloader? If I do how to fix? If I don't how can I get into Odin? I have done a factory wipe through the settings, and once through recovery, but it didn't fix me getting into Odin. Please help. Thanks.
Hello, I have a great great problem on my galaxy S9 G920F.
My galaxy had root with magisk. After a day it got stuck and now I have a black screen with a red writing on the top "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed".
I wanted to try to flash another firmware but I can not turn off, I can not reboot, I can not do anything.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thank you so much
Hold power & volume up for a while and see if it reboots
If you can get it to reboot, hold the power & volume down & bixby buttons and get into download mode, then flash stock with ODIN
Hi, i had same problem. But i can still got to twrp recovery mode. what i want to ask is Is it okay to direct flash to custom rom without getting it back to official firmware ?
