Hi guys, i'm new to fastboot so pardon me for this noob question. I have root and the latest clockwork flashed through ROM Manager. The issue is that I don't have a nandroid backup yet, so I thought it was a good thing to do. I did the following:
1 - entered fastboot mode (power + volume up)
2 - selected recovery
3 - phone rebooted and now is stuck on the exclamation + robot logo
How do I proceed to reboot phone or enter clockwork?
Thanks.
Edit: Well, I figured how to bring up the options and reboot the phone(turns out it was almost like on my previous phone lol). Still, for some reason I could not boot into clockwork until I re-flashed it using ROM Manager. I think it's the second time my clockworkmod gets messed up and I have to re-flash it. Anyone knows why?
Edit 2 :I just made a nandroid backup and rebooted the phone. Then I turned it off, booted into fastboot mode> recovery and ClockworkMod was gone again. Can someone help me figure out how to solve this? :|

the stock 2.3.1 rom has a script that runs at startup that will replace the recovery back to stock at every boot. /ect/install-recovery.sh
if remove or rename it, it won't do that anymore.
Moved to Q&A
! screen is the stock recovery.
To see the actual stock recovery options
Again, press up and power together real fast.

I cannot get the recovery flash to stick. My phone is rooted and I downloaded ROM Manager and flashed clockworkmod. I pressed boot into recovery and it worked.
I rebooted the phone and then turned it off. I hold power and "x" and it loads the stock recovery with the triangle and exclamation point, I press volume up and camera and it's the stock recovery mode.
I go back into ROM Manager and flash alternate recovery (SPrecovery) and then I turn off phone and boot with "x" and power and it goes into SPRecovery. I then reboot and then turn the phone off and it goes back to stock and I cannot get back into the SPrecovery mode from power off.
Why does it seem like it keeps resetting? Am I doing something wrong? I've tried flashing clockwork about three times and I can only access by pressing the boot into recovery on the app but not from a powered off state.
Why does it do this?
Android 2.2.2 FRG83G stock ROM.
I posted this a week ago and got 0 responses... does no one have any ideas or links you can send my way to help me out?
Should I try and flash an alternative recovery manually and not use Rom Manager? Any tutorials for that?
Hi
Just Today i noticed that i can't start my Stock recovery mode, I am currently on 8.6.5.21 stock Firmware,
The only thing i did was rooting the Device using NachoRoot and i did not Have any problems while rooting, everything went very smoothly, i rooted the tablet and then installed the superuser app, after that i did batch Backup using Titanium Backup and finally installed rootkeeper
A while ago i tried to boot to recovery mode then i got the picture of the Android with the exclamation mark ( ! ) inside of it.
I would like to know wither this is normal after rooting or not because before i never really tried to boot to stock recovery mode.
if not is there anyway i can retrieve the Stock recovery mode?
I mean as far as i know almost everything you'd want to do you'll have to do it using whatever recovery mode you have.
If there is anything you can help me with, it'd be much appreciated.
Thank you​
come on guys 35 views and not a single answer
at least someone tells me wither it is normal or not
Seems normal to me unless you have something on the Microsd that you want to flash.
Sent from my Sparkified TF101 using Tapatalk
so what you are saying is, i have to have a micro sd card inserted with something to flash in order to boot to recovery mode?
I mean what if i want to wipe the data in the device or restore factory settings?
I don't really think it is normal, can anyone please confirm it?
He is right, that is normal.
That is your stock recovery. The stock recovery doesn't do anything except scan for an update file. If it detect one it flash it, if not you get that Android with exclamation symbol. while holding Vol down plus power button and wait till you see the prompt, if you push Vol up within 5 sec it take you to recovery but if you wait a little longer you'll get a prompt to either wipe data our cold boot device
After I updated my (unrooeted/locked) Nexus S (9023) to 4.0.3 I wanted to try the 4.0.4 upgrade. After the 4.0.3 the recovery mode lost the backlight, so I figured the it was a good time to root.
I tried this one-click script to unlock. It worked and I installed CWMR and flashed the 4.0.4 upgrade. After a reboot the phone had ICS 4.0.4 and got root.
But not all is working. I lost the ability to get into the bootloader by pressing 'vol down.' & 'power'. The phone just starts normally.
The only way I can get into the bootloader, is to "reboot to bootloader" from a command line. If I choose recovery, I get a picture of an android at its back with a red ! (2105.dk/temp/img_1161.jpg). After two minutes it automatically reboots. What has gone wrong? What does it mean? And how can I fix it?
I'm new at this, so i'm out of ideas
try Vol up + power
Ahhh... now i'm feeling a bit stupid
Okay, i'm able to get into the bootloader, but the problem with the recovery still remains. (what does the picture mean? - 2105.dk/temp/img_1161.jpg)
I've tried both CWRM and TWRP. They seems to flash with no errors, but i still can not get them started from the bootloader (fastboot mode?).
Not sure if it's what you are looking for since I can't see the picture you are talking about but I think it's the recovery "security" screen. When you are there press power first and maintain it to press vol up, you should now be into the recovery...
Also remember stock rom has a script that overwrites any custom recovery with stock recovery each time the rom loads.
Yes, pressing [power] + [vol. up] at the recovery "security/error" screen, starts up a recovery.
I also didn't knew that the stock ROM overwrites the recovery. I never seen it mentioned any where else.
Thanks for the hints.
Okay, after learning how the stock OS trying to reinstall stock recovery, I managed to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to *.bak
Now the stock recovery stays away, and CWM recovery stays on permanent.
Also, the error screen doesn't show up any more. (never found out what it means)
I rooted my MT4GS a few months ago but stuck with the stock ROM. I decided I wanted to try out the CyanogenMod 9.1 ICS ROM. I followed the following steps:
1) Installed ROM Manager.
2) ROM Manager indicated a newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery and I installed it (5.0.2.7).
3) Using ROM Manager, did a full backup of the current ROM. All went well.
4) Using ROM Manager, downloaded and installed CyanogenMod 9.1.0 stable-doubleshot. I specified to wipe the data and cache partitions. The installation seemed to go normally.
When the phone rebooted, it was stuck at the logo screen. Had to remove the battery to turn it off. Tried a couple times, still the same.
Since I had the backup, I decided I would use CWM to restore the old ROM.
When I boot into recovery mode, it shows CWM 5.0.2.7, but whatever option I try to choose from the recovery menu, The screen just goes blank with the CWM logo in the middle and nothing else happens. Hitting the power button returns me to the menu, but no option works, even power down or reboot. It just goes back to the CWM logo again and I have to remove the battery to shut it down.
So, I thought I would try using fastboot to flash the ROM again. When I boot the phone into the boot loader and select fastboot, then plug the phone in via USB, nothing happens. Windows does not see the phone and ADB or fastboot don't see it either. It's not a driver issue, as the computer is still setup from when the computer was rooted and I connect the phone all the time with no problems.
When the phone is off and plugged into USB or the charger, I still get the charging light, though it goes off after about 10 seconds, then comes back on and cycles like that.
Is there anything I can try at this point, or is my phone bricked? It seems like I followed all the steps correctly. Is there an update.zip I can put in the root folder and see if it picks it up?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, after rebooting Windows, I was able to get the USB connection to the phone to work in fastboot. It seems I missed the step described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556
which states with S-ON you must flash the boot.img separately. I did that via fastboot and the phone boots into cyanogenmod now.
However, I still seem to have the issue with clockwordmod recovery. As long as I do the recovery functions from rom manager, everything is fine, but when I manually boot into the recovery menu, I get the same behavior of any choice from the menu just blanks the screen except for the CWM logo and nothing happens. I tried reflashing the recovery image using fastboot, but still no go.

This is solved also. Seems on the MT4GS, the trackball is the selection button. The power button appears to only be a back button.
What a thread! Two nicely phrased problem definitions, two well explained solutions, and all from the same guy. Sorry we weren't able to help directly, but you obviously found the answers you needed elsewhere in the forum. And you updated the title as well to show it was solved. Thanks.

if you did backup just restore the backup, otherwise flash stock rom with odin, search on www.sammobile.com you rom OR you have an unbrick guide in the general section
