Hi All,
I used to have TWRP installed however I wanted to be able to install the latest update.
I am S-OFF and Unlocked.
Settings>About>Software Info> Software Number>
Mine is 1.54.61.5
CID is: ORANG001
How do I get back to a stock Recovery. I have tried using the now Closed Stock Recovery thread. However two options which both started 1.54.## but now when I try to enter recovery I get the red triangle. I read about Philz stock recovery should I go for this instead?
Any help would really be appreciated.

The menu is something like vol-up, power.

Oh. I know the bootloader has its menu that's how I get into the recovery. So stock recovery just shows the red triangle?

Yes, the stock recovery shows red triangle.
If you want the menu, press vol-up, power (I think), its hidden, because you're not really supposed to play with it.

Feel pretty dumb! Sorry. I tried to restore my original backup but it kept failing. So the ota should install?
There are actually lots of "returning to stock" and "installing OTA if rooted" threads around.
You may need to install some default apps that are removed when you unlock the boot loader.
You could try installing the OTA though...

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.

I flashed CM10 onto my phone a couple weeks ago, everything went smoothly. Today, I reverted back to stock and locked the bootloader so that I could receive the stock JellyBean update. Well I download the update, reboot phone into fastboot, attempt to go into recovery and I get the red triangle !. I know this is an issue with the phone apparently not finding a recovery boot but why didn't my reverting to stock reinstall the stock recovery? Does anyone have any guides they suggest to get stock recovery back? (I've found a few but thought I would ask).
Now, this is understandable that my phone can't boot into recovery since I flashed CM recovery onto it and whatnot, but I attempted to boot into recovery on my girlfriends phone (same phone, NEVER BEEN UNLOCKED OR FLASHED) and it can't boot into recovery either... Is something going on here or am I just missing a huge piece of the puzzle? I don't really want to have to flash anything on my girlfriends phone to fix it, she's not into the tinkering and would rather not have her data reset. Any help would be appreciated.
And for the record, I did a search to figure this out but at the very least I can only find solutions for people who have flashed CM or similar and nothing pertaining to the problem my girlfriend's phone has.

It worked, I'm on stock ICS, but I didn't do ANYTHING after booting into ICS again and attempting to install JB and booting into recovery. Did I miss something? How do I "flash recovery"?
Unzip the factory image you get from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Then use fastboot to flash the recovery.
EDIT: red triangle doesn't necessarily mean the recovery is broken. It's just the way it is. If you wish to flash a 3rd party ROM you'll need to flash a 3rd party recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I think you are confusing a few things here. First off, the Android with the red triangle IS the stock recovery main screen. (If you want to flash the update manually, you need CWM -- go into fastboot mode and type: fastboot flash name-of-recovery.img, where name-of-recovery is the recovery that you downloaded and want to flash.) Second, you need the stock recovery for an update to install over-the-air, but you need a custom recovery if you want to flash it manually.

this happened. you installed stock recovery when you reverted, whats the surprise?
and you dont need to relock bootloader to successfully update through ota. seems to me know the op needs to refine his searching skills.

So in the context of my girlfriend's phone where nothing has been done to it in the 4 months she's had it, why would it be giving the recovery error? Also, does flashing the recovery wipe the phone?
It's funny too because I just got the JB OTA but I'd still like to get this figured out.

run the update manually (found on the Update link on efrants sig) through cwm, that should give you a more detailed description of whats going on.
flashing a recovery doesn't wipe the device. unlocking will, btw. its not an error, its the stock recovery!

Alright, I think I got it... so the android with the red ! triangle IS stock recovery? I just remember on my Nexus S being able to boot into recovery and load up a stock .zip update manually without any custom recovery mod. Is this not possible on the Galaxy Nexus then? So what does the stock recovery DO other than sit there and reboot after a minute?

Hi,
I just flashed my GNex to the stock yakju ROM using the link since, i wished to receive OTA updates. Everything is working properly except when i am trying to install Titanium Backup from recovery mode. When i get into recovery mode, i see the android logo with the red exclamation mark. Now, there are options available to install a stock recovery but i am uncertain that the OTA updates might stop if i install one !
Is there a way to rectify the recovery so that i can install titanium backup and restore my apps without losing OTA updates ?
Please point me to a link which explain the steps in details if possible as i have never done this before

AFAIK, The red exclamation mark is not recovery mode.
You need to press Vol button up + down + lock. Then phone will reboot into bootloader.
Choose recovery mode by pressing vol down. then press power button.

Ok, i understood that pressing vol up + power button takes you to the actual menu . I want to install titanium backup from the zip i have made. Can anyone tell me how it is to be done?
I see options like
a)apply update from adb
b)apply update from sd card
c)wipe cache/data partition
d)factory reset
Where exactly should i keep my .zip file in the storage ? Inside android folder so that i can use option (b) ? Is there any other way to install the zip ?
The red exclamation mark is the default recovery..................
Flash the latest copy of CWM/TWRP, Google for it, it's not hard..
If you do not have your bootloader unlocked, click on the bootloader link on my signature..
You can boot with a custom recovery without flash it. You should use this command in fastboot mode:
fastboot boot my_recovery.img
If you want flash recovery you should use:
(You will lose OTA updates)
fastboot flash my_recovery.img
Thanks for all your answers. I was able to access the menu by holding the vol up and power button simultaneously.

you can use either, but i use twrp.
when the OTA boots you into recovery, you just select the OTA file and flash it.
if you modified any other system files, it will fail and will tell you why it failed.

thats because those people modify system files and think they're still stock.
literally, if you just change the recovery and root your phone, you can still flash the OTAs. if you change anything else, install something that changes system files (such as busybox), you will not be able to install the OTA. it really is that simple.
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.
