I wanted to return my M8 to stock recovery. I found the img file and flashed it. Just to test it out, I booted into fast boot and selected recovery. It brought me to a screen that had the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. The only way to get out of it was to hold power and volume up. Is this the correct stock recovery?
Yes it is.

Just holding volume up + power button eventually restarts the phone. To get into the recovery just hold volume up and TAP power button, it'll then take you into recovery menu. From there you can reboot device anyways as there really isn't all that much to do with stock recovery. But yeah, you have the right one there then.
Ok. Thanks. I returned to stock because after I rooted I found that I didn't want to change much. Instead of staying rooted, I reverted back to stock so I can get future OTA's.

I brought my phone back to stock before 2.2. Whenever I try to flash the recovery I get brought to the Evo background with the red caution sign. I have tried Simple root .1, and the OTA version and I also used the evo recovery file.
Its not working, I can't flash my recovery.
How are you trying to flash recovery?
When you get to the red caution screen hit volume up/down and the power button together, and it should take you to the recovery.

Actually, hold the volume up for several seconds, and then press power.

If you fully converted to stock before going to 2.2 then you no longer have a custom recovery.If you reverted to a stock rooted 1.47 build and then flashed a stock rooted 3.26 build your recovery should still be there.What is version number is your hboot?
Thanks Guys figured it out.
As I stated in the title, when I try to flash back the stock recovery, it flashes ok, then when it tries to load it gives me an android with an red exclamation mark in the belly.
What can I do to revert back to recovery?
imm76D, 4.04, root, cwm (was before I put the stock one)
10x
Once that pops up...
Press Volume +, Volume -, and Power.
i know how to get into fastboot mode, I dunno how to put the stock recovery back

That is the stock recovery. When you see that, in order to access its menu, you need to: Pres volume up and power together repeatedly until you see the menu. It's a little finicky, so you will likely have to repeat it a few times.

Thanks man, you saved my life.
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.

Done Thank you all!
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.
