So, I was trying to put 4.4 kitkat onto my galaxy nexus verizon phone and I had CM10.3 working on it (which was roughly 4.3.x) and clockword recov mod. and then I got a new clockwork rom (as attached) and I ran: fastboot flash recovery newrecovery.img
Then it successfully ran via adb, but then when I rebooted it, i told it to go to recovery mode, but it brings up a default "Google" page with a unlocked symbol on the bottom. Its been running for about 10 minutes now and it will not get off this page.
What can I do? Is this thing done for? I cannot seem to get it to work.
Thank you.
Flash the newest cwm via fastboot and reboot to recobery.

Ok so i got my nexus today and it is fantastic. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone no problem. installed clockwork with rom manager though, I turned the phone off and then while pressing vol up and down went into recovery again. Rebooted into clockwork and bam we're good. I rebooted to move some files over and when i tried to get into recovery again i get the android dude with the yield sign over and over again. Im not sure why this is happening, any suggestions?
I was having the same problem at first. Problem was fixed by "flash clockwork mod" and then reboot into recovery. After that I had no problems. :beer:

I also initially tried to install CWM thru rom mananger but after a reboot or 2, booting into recovery always led do a android with red triangle and I'd have to re-install (this was happened many times)
To finally fix it I downloaded the CWM .img and flashed it using fastboot on my laptop while the phone was in the bootloader. Recovery image hasn't died since.
Means image isn't applied.
Get Rom manager from the market and it will flash image.
Done.
Android with yield sign is stock Android recovery.

Hi,
I bought the GNexus a month ago, its my 1st android device. (I had a Blackberry for the last 3 years).
I have unlocked my Gnex, and rooted it, then i have installed yakju in order to get rid of my yakjuux ROM, it was my 1st time doing it... Everything worked fine, all my apps were automatically redownloaded and reinstalled from my google account. (Very nice feature).
But for some reason now, I have lost my root acces and I am not sure why or how.. is it normal? I have installed root checker, and supser user returns messages saying he cant get root privileges on my phone.
I tried rooting the phone using superboot. Everyting seemd to have worked fine:
C:\Nexus\r3-galaxynexus-superboot\r3-galaxynexus-superboot>install-superboot-win
dows.bat
C:\Nexus\r3-galaxynexus-superboot\r3-galaxynexus-superboot>fastboot-windows.exe
boot boot.superboot.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
The phone reboted but stayed at the Google logo for like 3 mins. I pulled the battery and after that the phone rebooted normally except superuser cant access root.
Any tips or help is welcome on how to root the phone (already unlocked)
Thanks
You should have left it on there! Mine got stuck on the Google boot logo for around 10 minutes before it was done? I was just about to pull it before it booted up. Go through the process again and give it time

Go on YouTube and look for zedomax. He has an easy root video with a link to all the software

when you installed the yakju ROM to change yakjuux it deleted root because you fully wiped your phone for a yakju build. just reapply superboot (or install clockwork recovery and flash su.zip that will give you root) and you'll have root.
either that or flash a custom ROM with clockwork recovery and you'll have root.
Another thing is always make a backup of your current favorite rom before flashing anything. I have my original rom and 1 favorite rooted rom on backup at all times. If you do this and encounter problems you can always go in recovery and restore your custom rooted rom. The only reason I keep a stock rom on is in case I have to return the phone. You can remove your unlock symbol by going in fastboot and typing (fastboot OEM lock) I think! This was how I locked my bootloaders back up on my beloved nexus s, good luck and pm me if you need anything

Didn't know about su.zip option in CWM, where can I find this zip file for the GNex GSM?

I gave it like 30 mins and still the Google logo was displayed. It seems my rooting did not work properly. Maybe i am not using the right tools?
Zedomax has a nicve procedure, but the link to doenload is GalaxyNexusRoot.zip file is dead. I cant use his method..
Thanks for the help.

I couldn't find it on XDA but I did get it off XDA before and have tested it on 4.0.2 when I used 4.0.2 stock. I just uploaded it: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4qq8mhu7w0437ky flash in cwr.

I recently got a GSM gNex and last night I decided to upgrade to JB using the OTA links posted here in the forum. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed twrp's recovery, installed SuperSU and then the JB 4.1.1 OTA file and everything went smoothly. Since after the upgrade, on my PC when I connect my gNex, I'm getting a "Fast boot read error" and my PC stopped recognizing the device. I switched to my Mac and got everything I needed done. Why am I here? Obviously I've been able to go into twrp recovery to do a lot of this stuff. But now, anytime I try to go into recovery mode, I get the screen with android lying on back with the exclamation point. I have to flash recovery (I've tried CWM, CWM touch, optimus prime touch) using fast boot every time I have to go into recovery. I tried going to recovery using ROM manager and that gets me to same situation. (Android on back).
Any thoughts?

If 4.1.1 is anything like 4.0.x, you'll have to rename/remove this file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
So I just picked up this device couple days ago. It's running 4.4.2
This has surely been asked before but how do I root this build? I only found TUTs for 4.3 here on xda
Thanks

I know the BL is unlocked cause I see the lock symbol at the Google screen
I tried both cwm and twrp
Help?

It sounds like you still have the stock recovery installed instead of the custom one you're trying to flash. What command are you using to flash the custom recovery? It should be:
fastboot flash recovery [insert recovery filename here].img
Then, use the volume buttons to boot into recovery from the bootloader. Your custom recovery should boot up.
Yeah I used that command. I have used it before on my Optimus 3D

Are you using the proper TWRP? You may try the command again.
Edit: In order to flash you have to CD from a folder containing adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Otherwise nothing will flash. Download this folder https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_nizg6yUZ0NbWNvZHFMR1h6LVE/preview?pli=1 and Stick TWRP in the folder. That folder was put together by Rootjunky.com http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6k4rCaMPSQ8

@lzzar Glad you got it figured out.
Short story for anyone who might find this thread after seeing the Red Triangle.
I saw an article on Android Police that there was 32gb refurbs for sale for $170. So, clearly we (XDA members) are not the same as normal users when it comes to troubleshooting and fixing problems. So, I bought my 2 sons 1 each and my wife 1 as well. While my sons are very young (single digit ages), I've taught them how to run code. The N7's arrived yesterday and after they went to bed, I fired up the computer and had all 3 tabs going at once updating from 4.3 to 4.4.2, charging, downloading,....
Unlocked all 3 Bl's and proceeded to install TWRP and ROM/Kernels. Point to remember is that I had too many things going on at once. On the very first recovery.img flash, I got the laying down android with red triangle. Flashed the recovery.img again and again the red triangle, all the while I was downloading ROMs and Kernels on my PC.
Then I realized what I was doing wrong. After flashing the recovery.img, I booted into the OS, then powered off and used the key combo to boot into recovery. Wrong!! What step did I miss? After flashing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, I had forgotten to Volume up and boot into recovery from straight from there.
Once I realized my blunder, I was much happier. After that, it took me under an hour to install recoveries on all 3, flash ROMs and Franco r13, boot and reflashed SuperSU. Too many things going on at once and maybe a few too many drinks as well.
Yes, the exact same mistake with booting into OS after flashing was what I did too

So, I need to send my Nexus 7 back in for factory inspection/repairs, since it decides to reboot multiple times a day on its own. I had my N7 running CM w/ TWRP. I've flashed my device back to stock and everything, however it fails to boot up to the stock recovery. In it's stead I just get an Android man lying on his side open with a red exclamation in a triangle. I can't link the image directly, but http //i stack imgur com/kcSE4 jpg. Periods where there are spaces, except for right after the http, there is the usual colon.
I've tried running Restore Stock Recovery thru the Nexus Root Toolkit. I've tried manually flashing the recovery.img with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img while in the bootloader. I'm not sure what else to try. Is there anyone that could help me?
I get the recovery thing too and I've never installed a custom ROM or recovery (although I did flash twrp once but I did not install it) its not really a big deal for me be cause if I ever need a recovery I can flash one from my computer But I would like to know why this happens anyway.

I'm just primarily afraid that my warranty would be voided if they discovered that the recovery was missing. I can flash
TWRP back just fine, but not stock.
EDIT: Never mind. I apologize for my ignorance. I found out that you go to the recovery menu from that screen by holding the Power button and then pressing the Vol Up button. No more assistance shall be needed.
Yoou are saying that after flashing stock recovery you see a android with open stomach and exclamination mark
But android with open stomach and exclamination mark showing in recovery means it is stock recovery of nexus 7
I have a nexus 7
When it was not rooted i tried to boot to recovery i got the same
After rooting i get twrp in recovery
