Upgraded to 4.4.2. Re rooted. I was able to do a twrp recovery to my laptop.
When I went to do a routine back up via twrp I get a supine android with an exclamation point in a triangle coming out of his chest.
booting into recovery takes me to the recovery/bootloader menu. Choosing either takes me back to the recovery screen.
I replied with the nexus tool kit,; maybe it isn't compatible with 4.4.2?
Advice?
Just trying to be 100% clear here...can you get into both bootloader AND recovery without any problems? Can you reboot directly into recovery (power + vol up)? And do your partitions load up correctly in TWRP? Have you tried flashing a new Rom from any version?

you could use fastboot to flash the recovery again. the red triangle android thing is probably stock recovery. when you are on it try pressing power then vol up. if a menu pops up then it's stock recovery. you may have just erased your twrp.

Yes, it sounds like the first reboot after you installed 4.4.2 automatically flashed stock recovery. Just reflash TWRP in your bootloader.

yup. in CWM there is a prompt that the OTA will try to restore stock recovery and it asks if you want to prevent this. i'm guess TWRP doesnt have this or OP didnt do it.

Where to begin...
I have had ARHD GSM 2.1.2 working flawlessly since I have had the phone. I put the charger in the phone, pulled it out straight away and the Wave Secure app tried to initiate (data backup on charger only). When I put the charger back in the battery (Circles Mod by Hoolm) was stuck flashing battery percentage and charge bolt even when not charging.
I thought it was a good time to do a fresh install anyway so I superwiped lite and flashed ARHD 2.1.5. Reinstalled all my apps from the market fresh and then tried to perform a titanium backup...
The phone turned off and is now stuck in a permanent boot loop. I managed to use mskip toolkit to put it in recovery once and ran superwipe, wipe dalvik, fix permissions, re-flash ARHD 2.1.5 and then reboot.
Now it is stuck in a permanent boot loop and I cannot get it into recovery...HELP!
The only alternate screen I can get to is the ODIN screen by holding vol down and power....it says downloading but nothing happens.
Can you use fastboot from the mobil odin screen?
Flash the recovery.img maybe.
But can you not get into the bootloader menu at all?
Unfortunately, no. It just says "downloading - do not turn off target" where the option to enter fastboot should be.

dont use odin.
turn pull the battery, put it back in, press and hold both vol up and down and press and hold the power button.
that's fastboot mode.
HUGE thank you.
I am in recovery! Now what is best practice to get phone back into working order???

do you have a nandroid backup? if so, restore that. if you still bootloop, get back to recovery, wipe data and cache.
When I try and go to recovery I get the android bot with a red exclamation point coming out of it. It won't let me get to recovery.
Is this the point where something is definitely wrong and I have to send it to samsung for warranty repair?
I am pretty sure I can flash ICL53f and relock the bootloader.

You don't have the green android with the belly open that has 16 blue squares inside it? If you do, use the volume keys to move between Power off, Start, Restart bootloader, and Recovery mode. Press the power button in the "Recovery mode option." If you don't have this screen, then use fastboot commands, and flash Google Factory Images. You don't need to send it into Samsung for warranty, nothing is wrong. Lol.
I do have the recovery option from fastboot mode.
It is when I select recovery that I get the green android with the belly open and a exclamation point. It will not go any further once I select recovery.
I flashed ICL53F and I still get the exclamation when trying to get to recovery.

That is Stock recovery. Are you rooted? Are you on a Stock ROM?
When you hit the volume down or up button you should get some options..., which are they?

Yeah you have to flash a custom recovery.
fastboot flash recovery (recoveryname)
Here's an awesome custom recovery for CDMA
Went to recovery (when it was working) from fastboot. Flashed stock ICL53F.
Options are reboot, recovery etc.
I am not trying to wipe and flash ARHD 2.1.5 GSM but cannot access recovery from fastboot. I get an android robot with an exclamation point.

I've lost ya... What is your situation now?
Do you have:
a: Stock recovery (droid on its back with red exclamation mark)
b: CWM recovery through MSKIP's tool
1. ARHD ROM
2. Stock ICL53F
x. a Boot loop
y. Not?
I think I see the disconnect now...
I have "droid on its back with red exclamation mark" (ICL53F - from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html)
I did not realise that a "droid on its back with red exclamation mark" was an indicator of stock recovery. So I guess I have that. I only used mskip to flash stock ICL53F not CWM recovery. I no longer have a boot loop but get the droid on back with exclamation (stock recovery).
So I should flash CWM, add ARHD zip and flash???

Yes flash CWM, see if you can boot into custom recovery, and then flash ARHD.
Okay...I'll give it a shot.
I will reply back with results.

I had the device lying around for a while and was about to update it to 4.4.3 but when I tried to get into recovery mode to flash the zip file it said "no command" with this android logo thingy, the device is rooted with unlocked bootloader, what should I do to fix it?

That is stock recovery. It's an Android laying on his back with a red exclamation mark on top of him. I know, it freaked me out too when I first booted into stock recovery because it makes you think something's wrong. When you see that screen, you have to hit Power + Volume Up (or Volume Down?) at the same time to bring up the recovery menu. It may take a couple tries with the buttons, but the menu should pop up eventually.

I believe you have to adb sideload it. You can see how in this thread I found by Googling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929201. I know I can flash the OTA in my Philz custom recovery, but not sure if you can simply flash it using stock recovery.
Hi all, after some modding it seems that my nexus 7 2013 lte custom recovery is vanished. I've tried to flash it via adb, I've flashed the new 5.1 official image, but nothing happen. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode, via adb or power+volume up, all I get is a dead android robot logo with no options.
And, btw, my N7 works perfectly
What can I do?
Thanks
When you flash a new android version you lose root and custom recovery, you need to root and flash custom recovery again as your currently on stock, when that robot is on his back you also have hold down a button combo to access the fastboot / bootloader or recovery, unless you send it the command via adb.
My advice is re-root using cfautoroot and flash custom recovery with flashify.
Ok, thanks! I've flashed twrp (I'm still no-root) and it works fine. Now is there any possibility to come back on stock recovery?
Flashify premium allows you to download and flash stock recovery or bootloader,
if you can't afford it or there not available for dl yet you can alternatively extract the .img files
from the factory image and flash them instead.

Nothing to do. I've extracted the img file from the factory image and flashed it via fastboot but, when I restart the device in recovery mode, it still shows the green half dead androidbot
^Thats normal. When you get to that screen you have to press volume up, down and power all at the same time, all three buttons. Just keep pressing them all at once a few times and it'll let you into stock recovery. It took me about 10 minutes to get in the first time. Don't hold the buttons, a quick press.

So you're saying that normally, on a Nexus 7 with no root and with stock recovery, the combination key to enter in the recovery isn't power+volume up ? Sorry for repeating, but I'm new at modding
I'm saying when you boot into recovery and it gives you the dead android (on it's back I think?) do what I said above.

Yeah it's pita to press, it's why I prefer to launch recovery from flashify or quick boot it's so much easier.
Android seems to love doing things arsed about faced / over complicated it should just be an option in settings, power off like
custom roms along with wireless adb.
flashed back to stock but the ota wont install. When the tablet boots into recovery, I get a 'no command' error. Tried the volume up and power but that reboots into the same page. I tried reflashing the stock rom and just flashing the bootloader and recovery files but no luck. I'm not looking to root or customize the tablet, just keep it stock. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
I'm having the same issue.

You're flashing an older image and trying to take an ota? Why? Just flash the latest image.

Because there is a new ota update not integrated in last published 6.0 factory image. With netflix and something else fix, sized 2.2 mb.
Got mine to install. Was able to get into stock recovery. Boot into bootloader, (reboot, hold down power and volume down buttons), select recovery. When you get to the android screen with the red triangle, hold the power button and touch the volume up button. Takes you to recovery. I wiped the cache and rebooted, then was able to take the ota.

Thanks. That worked perfectly. Ha, I have always been rooted and using twrp. That was the first time I actually used the stock recovery for something.

So I got an adapter (Finally) for my nexus 5x. Went home and got the WugFresh nexus toolkit. Made a backup, and things were going fine, and then hit root and install twrp. It installed and booted into twrp, and it gave me the not rooted message and rooted me. I restored the backup. So I rebooted it, saw it was doing the boot animation, and came back this morning to it being dead (I had it plugged into my desktop, thought it wouldn't have lost more than 1% of battery when I woke up). I tried booting it up, and it was booting forever and I concluded was bootlooped. Now, when I try to boot into recovery, I get the little android guy dead with the red triangle on top of him. Please help, I'm 14 and don't really know what to do because all my previous rootings went fine. Thanks!
You are on stock recovery. Flash TWRP if you want custom recovery and flash/wipe, or use the factory images to go back to stock. Any experience with adb and fastboot? I'd recommend using fastboot so you have an idea of what's going on and understand how to fix your phone in the future.

I know fully well about adb and fastboot. I've rooted all my phones before this manually via them, and i just tried the toolkit because a friend referred it to me. Like i mentioned before i'm in a bootloop and i have no access to it in adb. It just doesn't get recognized.
Hold power + volume down till you boot into the bootloader. Flash away.

yeah when i try and boot into recovery is when i get the red triangle above the android guy. there is literally no recovery there. Otherwise, yeah i would flash the firmware
Help!!! My Nexus device is totally messed up. It has ______ problem. What do I do?? @ wugfresh.com since you're already using that toolkit.
if your pc/NRT doesn't recognize your phone check the drivers and consider reinstalling them (the toolkit apparently has an option for that as well). also try playing around with the rotation of your adapter/cable. yes, usb c is supposed to work both ways, but some (cheap) cables seems to have different properties depending on the rotation.

There is, its just the stock recovery. Go to the bootloader and flash TWRP using fastboot. If you have driver issues you might have to manually select the driver I normally have to the first time.
