Getting into stock recovery mode only shows a white triangle with exclamation mark and green android logo. I would like to know if that behavior is normal or maybe I am skipping the required steps to get the menus of stock recovery.
Since my NS is rooted now, ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 and running android 2.3.1. (OTA update before root) that’s not a problem for the moment, I'm just concern about it.
Thanks in advance!!
LOL, if you get the Exclamation screen, that means your Clockworkmod isn't installed
And yes, that's normal for stock recovery, it always shows that, you need to then press really fast volume up and power to get to the normal options of stock recovery.

Thanks nxt, I was expecting something like that. I’ll try to improve my skills pushing those bottoms.
ClockworkMod is properly installed, exclamation screen issue was before rooting.

My Relay wont boot into recovery mode. Whenever I hold the Volume-Up + Home + Power, it turns on then it says on the top left corner a small blue colored message saying "RECOVERY BOOTING..." and then it goes to the "Galaxy S Relay from T-Mobile" screen and then black screen. Nothing happens, it doesnt boot into recovery but it can turn on and function well with the OTA Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update as well as boot into Download mode. I have rooted it before when It was still ICS 4.0.4 and I guess I didnt unroot it correctly.
A couple of days ago, I heard about the Jelly Bean update, which I wanted, so I used Kies to update. I connected my phone while in Download mode and Kies did its thing and my phone was unrooted when it booted up and had Jelly Bean. It worked perfectly, but it couldnt boot into recovery mode. I dont think it's a huge problem to not boot into recovery, but to me, I feel safer having it.
Is there a way to fix this using just Samsung Kies? Is there a way to flash that recovery or something using Odin? If so, where can I find it and how do I do it?
Thanks in advance!

dear OP why cant you learn the rules?
Were you able to apply the OTA update with "no recovery"? It sounds like you might have stock and your screen doesn't work in recovery, or perhaps you're recovery is just plain broken. Either way, reflashing recovery with heimdall or odin might do the trick.
This question belongs in Q and A or general, not development.
I was rooted with cwm as my recovery and tried to unroot yesterday. I uninstalled Superuser and factory reset. Apparently, I "unrooted" wrong. Then I applied the OTA via Kies. I think my recovery is just plain broken. Where can I find and download the recovery for the Relay? And how do I flash it?

This is not in the right place, the other thread is.
Don't make multiple threads in the same place of the same topic. That's called spamming

As soon as you see the blue letters for recovery booting, take your fingers off all the buttons. It will then go to recovery. I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. If you continue holding the buttons, it will do what you described.

Wow. Thank you so much! Before, I would have to hold the buttons until the actual recovery menu comes up. I didn't know you just had to hold it until the blue letters came up. Once again, thank you very much!

My phone is currently NOT rooted. I attempted to root it when I first got it and almost bricked it so when I got it back to working I just left it. I've had my phone over a year and have recently over the past few months had issues with the charging port and batteries even holding a charge. Bought extended life slim batteries and a charger due to that issue. Then just yesterday I was using facebook on my phone and it randomly rebooted and wouldn't stop boot looping. Only way I've stopped it thus far is to take out the battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got this phone used. (Droid Razr HD) Not sure of its history. As far as I know it was all stock until today.
When I found out I could root and unlock the bootloader I did so. Then I wanted to go into recovery and make a backup (yea I know...did that backwards) I powered the device off...hit the volume rocker switch and the power button at the same time and it entered into the Boot Mode selection menu. I hit the volume down to move to the recovery option and then hit the volume up button to select recovery.
At this point the big red M & Dual Core Technology logo appears. Stays there for 1.5 minutes then disappears briefly, comes back on for 15 seconds and then boots the phone normally.
So....I downloaded and installed Rom Manager and had it flash the latest CMW Recovery, turned the phone off to access the newly flashed recovery and the phone again went to the big red M & Dual Core Technology logo set there for 1.5 minutes, disappeared briefly and then booted the phone normally.
So.....I downloaded the lasted CMW Recovery image and used ADB and Fastboot to flash the recovery. Same result. Cannot access the recovery.
So....I downloaded a Stock recovery image and used ADB and Fastboot to flash the stock recover. Same result....cannot access the recovery.
Can someone tell me what I am missing or what I am doing wrong? Or what I can do access recovery.? A rooted phone with an unlocked bootloader isn't much good if you can't access recovery.
Thanks for reading and for any advice you might be able to give.

I believe when in the boot loader menu, you need to Volume down to your choice, then Volume up to select the highlighter choice. Pressing power just resets the phone as you experienced.

Sorry....my op is wrong and has been corrected. You are right, the volume up selects the highlighted choice. Which is the way I was doing it, I just described it wrong.
And my problem still exists, I can't access recovery. Thanks for your reply.

If you haven't tried it already, since you seem to have ADB setup and working, try to use "adb reboot recovery" and see if you have change in luck. If not, my knowledge does not go much further, I hope someone knows how to answer this for you. I can imagine how distraught I'd be.
The only other thing is to ensure you've installed the correct recovery:
Google Dhacker29 and choose the AndroidHosting site, choose msm8960.
(I can't post url's because i've had less than 10 posts... spam thing)
Since you seem to have unlocked bootloader with the most recent case of KitKat make sure you have the "TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img" file.
I will say I didn't use ADB to push mine, I'm not home often, I used Flashify from the Google Play Store. I had no problem with this method.
Hope you can figure it out! Good luck!

Since updating to Lollypop via OTA sideload I've noticed the volume buttons don't allow me to get to the menu in the new stock recovery. It just sits at the screen with the dead android and red exclamation mark. The up down buttons worked fine with the 4.4.4 stock recovery. I tried reflashing the 5.0 stock recovery with Flashify, but it makes no difference. TWRP works fine, but I usually like to reflash the stock recovery after using TWRP to ensure I can still remote wipe my device via Android device manager if need be. Is anyone else seeing this issue with the 5.0 stock recovery?

Press all three buttons (volume up, down, and power) at the same time. May have to press them a few times. The text will pop up allowing you to do stuff.
Many thanks. I tried holding down all the buttons and did it a few times as you said, but it didn't help. Still stuck on that dead droid screen. I guess it's not the biggest problem in the world though. I'll try again tomorrow.

When you are on the dead android screen, pres volume UP and Power simultaneously to bring up the stock recovery menu.
Many thanks. Power quickly followed by volume up was the combo that finally worked for me after 4 or 5 attempts. On KitKat it was so much simpler!

Ok I have to ask about some things, first of all I flash through fastboot the stock recovery in order to upgrade, but when I select the recovery option in the menu just appears the android with the open belly and the exclamation mark, ¿is that normal or did I made something wrong? And second question, If I changed the boot logo doesn't make any trouble with the update? and last, the root also affects the OTA?

It is totally normal, you just have to hold power button and press vol up repeteadly in order to make commands appear (I don't know why this happens..)
Concerning the bootlogo, I have no idea, but I guess it does not affect.
You can be root, but you cannot modify anything from system (no freezed or deleted apps, for instance)

Hi all,
First of all I would like to apologize if my question is answered somewhere else already, I have searched the web for 2+ hours and cannot find anything that gives a solution to my specific problem/question.
After wiping my data/system/cashe etc. through TWRP 3.0 I rebooted ignoring the message that there was no OS installed. I knew there was no OS installed and my intention was to get back into TWRP after the reboot.
To my surprise my phone did not go into the TWRP menu on its own like it did before (previous problem was a TWRP bootloop, but that's a different story). Pressing the volume down + power button does not bring me back into the recovery modem for TWRP either.
The only screen I can reach is the download mode (by holding volume down + power + home button) where I previously used Odin to flash the Kernel and install TWRP.
I think I messed it up by rebooting without any OS, which now prevents me from getting back into TWRP. I hope there's anyone who can help me by either pointing me in the right direction or put me out of my misery by telling me I should accept my fate of having a bricked phone.
Any help or answer is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
no0bstar
Odin back to stock
What was posted above orrrrr you could try booting into download mode and hit cancel (restart) then quickly hit and hold the TWRP combo, this method works for me.
AFAIK ROMs don't touch recovery so OS or no OS you're fine I believe.

I'd say it is simply a matter of not doing the button combo properly tbh... That is the impression I get

Yeah more or less, I just noticed it gives you an extra few seconds with DL mode.
I've managed to get back into TWRP by installing the stock rom and TWRP through Odin.
Right now im installing Nougat, hopefully it was worth the few extra grey hairs...
Thanks for the help all!
