Stuck at Red Caution sign recovery mode

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.

Galaxy Nexus unable to boot to recovery.

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM. I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader using Galaxy Nexus toolkit a while ago, and flashed the 4.1.1 stock ROM (Build number JRO03C). Yesterday i received a notification for a system update to 4.1.2. I hit download, phone rebooted into recovery, i chose to flash the rom and everything seemed fine, however i'm still on the older version 4.1.1. Now, when i try to boot my phone into recovery (VOL_DOWN & Power Button) it shows me the boot screen and says "Downloading, please do not turn off" and i can't do anything. If I hit the power button again the phone reboots normally. Any ideas what I can do?
Sorry if I am at the wrong section.

Volume down and power is the key combo for Odin download mode. You want volume up, volume down, and power. This will take you into the bootloader. From there, you can use volume up/down to scroll to recovery and press power to load into recovery.

That used to happen to me.....I later realised that it's Coz of the update....well simply return to the previous version of the app and re-flash without the upgrade. Hope it helps u out too.

The OTA won't flash if you have changed any system files or you're not running stock recovery & radio & kernel ...

Thanks a lot! So how can I restore the Odin mode from applying the update? Reflash the ROM?

Look at the stickies in the general forum. There is one for flashing an OTA & one for flashing a stock ROM, take your pick

Lost recovery/bootloader modes

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.

Stock Recovery

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.

Stock recovery "vanished"

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.
