2 days ago i rooted my nexus s andere installed cwm recovery. Now i have read that i can not return to stock recovery again? I tried by flashing gri54 through odin. Result :cwm wasn't there anymore but when i choose option recovery i got some weird flipping image...
Does theater mean i can't receive ota updates anymore? Is there a way to get stock recovery back?

You can download a full ROM or whichever equivalent and copy and paste it to root of your phone, then run bootloader (power + volume up) and select recovery option, choose that ROM file to install.
Your phone will be unrooted though.
Hmm like i said i used odin to flash a stock rom so that should be the same as flashing via recovery .. IT removes cwm but doesn't restore original recovery ..also still haven't found a full gri54.img for fastboot in the forum. .so odin is the only way to flash stock

Just flashed gri40 2.3.3 via recovery .. lost root etc and cwm is gone ...but still no stock recovery ..when I am in bootloader mode and select recovery mode , I get to see a green android with a big exclamation mark and thats it ... I just do no get why my stock recovery will not come back, not even after completely wiping evrything and flashing a stock rom
If im not wrong.
That Android with exclamation mark, is the 'stock recovery' you are looking for.

But you have stock recovery.Just press/hold POWER first, then volume up and you ll see the 3e recovery
@navlem Yes you are correct
hmm my head turns red in shame .... you mean custom recovery is just android with an exclamation mark ?? On my galaxy s, I had 3e recovery where I could wipe my device, format cache, install update.zip .. there is no such recovery on the nexus s ?
NB power + vol. up gives me bootloader mode not recovery ...
Very sorry for my noobish behavior ... I am so used to my galaxy s ..that I overlooked some basic .. did not know that after going in recovery mode I had to press the power + vol up combo again ..
Many thanks for the friendly answers !

I mean stock recovery is the android with the exclamation mark!And yes its the same recovery as galaxy s. In order to go to 3e recovery,after you see the android with the exclamation mark just hold power button and then volume up.
In order to boot in bootloader with your phone off, hold volume up+power button

I am trying to unroot my nexus s. I can't get back into recovery mode at all. I get the android guy and a ! screen. trying over and over still gets me back to this screen...... what to do?
Vol UP and POWER will take you to the bootloader.
fastboot boot clockworkrecovery.img
you should now be in clockwork recovery. It will revert back to stock on reboot, so you will need to mount system and rename the install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.old
I believe it is in the system/etc/
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery clockworkrecovery.img (this will replace the stock recovery)
I dont have clockwork recovery on my device..... I kind of need a dumbed down walk though. I tried the unlokr's walkthrough and thats when I found my device won't go into recovery mode. It tries and then goes to the above mentioned screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000722 read through this long thread that I took a user to install Clockwork Recovery (or just look at the stickied thread in General in regards about rooting.. it includes flashing Clockwork)
this 7 page thread is dumbed down to the point where it cannot be dumbed down any more.
If its still stock after you select recovery it will show you the image and then you have to hold even power and volume up again or just volume up I can't remember.

If you can see that android with exclamation mark, i think you are already unrooted.

You are unrooted and completely stock it sounds. If you want Clockwork installed you will have to unlock the bootloader, fastboot OEM unlock, then root or leave it unrooted

yeah, but what if the user cant find the "install-recovery.sh" file? for instance my "etc" folder doesnt have that file and i'm rooted.

then the stock recovery won't keep reinstalling itself and CWR will be default.
When I turn the device on I still have an unlocked bootloader. im trying to re-lock it, and nothing is working
I had trouble going to the recovery menu when trying to manually update to 2.3.3: when you see the android robot with the exclamation sign after selecting recovery, you're supposed to press vol up + power again to access the file selection menu. However, pressing the combination would do nothing for me unless I pressed it like 10 times. Then I would glimpse the recovery menu and the phone rebooted unexpectedly.
After an hour or so of random unwanted reboot cycles, I pulled the battery out, put it back in, tried again the exact same way I had just been trying and it eventually worked.
Don't know if it has anything to do with your issue but maybe it helps?
Actually I figured out how to get into recovery with the exclamation mark and andriod moniker on screen.
Use the vol up and power key and simply press them at the same time and release both immediately.
Is clockwork recovery necessary for all roms or can i download a recovery to my phone?
Well if you could make a recovery based off of something else that had ext. 4 support then you could probably use that. Just the fact that there is already CWM for the MT already makes it easier. If you meant does it need to be installed then yes, you need it installed to flash different roms.
Can CWM be flashed through Rom Mgr? I tried bootloader and mobile and image and recovery img and i think i put in wrong folder. Everytime i try to get back into bootloader with pwr button and vol dwn. It goes right to M screen. How can i fix this?
Ok i get to download mode now where do i put the extracted recovery folder in image? Do i place with recovery img or down at the bottom?. When i take battery out and put back. I pwr and simitaneously vol buttons. I get the triangle !. What am i doing wrong. Oh and im on ver 2.2.2
It's real easy all you need to do is Volume down then power sometimes it's a pain in the ass but keep repeating the steps until you see white writing on the screen, then plug it into your PC, it should bring up a drive called mobile there will be a folder open the folder & replace only the recovery image then reboot. Should be all good. Then press volume up & down & power should boot into clockwork.
Did u install CM7 first?
You can't install CM7 or any other rom "first" using stock recovery. As far as I have seen CWM is the only alternative to the stock recovery.
Hi, would like to go back to stock and am having problems getting into fast boot. I installed the original image file on my sd card it goes into fast boot and apears to begin to flash the recover after a couple of second it has the android laying down with the exclamation point. Anybody have any ideas? I am currently rooted and boot unlocked.
Are you running a recovery or flashing the recovery image ?? If you are running the recovery, make sure you have the power lead in !

No, I am trying to install the original recovery thru the SD card. I hold down the power + vol up button to get the recovery file to update the original recovery but get the android with a exclamation point. It wont install the recover zip. I have renamed it to recovery.zip, but still not working?

I almost bricked my phone because of that stupid userdata.img inside the Twrp recovery
For 2 days I've been trying to install a rom with the twrp recovery, which always worked nice although a bit slow, but since the installed rom always had issues, this time I put not only the twrp recovery in flashboot, but also the userdata.img, which by the way there's no reference about it in any doc of the zip
As a result my phone didn't pass forward the coloured Leeco splash screen in chinese, (the one that cames before the twrp spashscreen).
I shut it down and put it on charge, but it didn't even seem to be charging! the red led was always on and the battery had no progress bar, just a 'sparkle' symbol. If that thing isn't even charging, how the hell would I enter fastboot?
Thankfully I got back the normal recovery and bootloader.
So, anyone reading, DO NOT flash userdata.img in fastboot!
I've been playing with some Pie roms (with repartition) with my nexus 5. But since I needed to pass SecurityNet, I decided to go back to stock rom.
I tried to reflash the stock rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...om-android-m-preview-2-flashable-zip-t3157299 and the official method by google, but I ended on a bootloop.
I tried to flash twrp again (I can access to bootloader) and flash another pie rom (who previusly worked). But I'm getting bootloop again.
What can I do?
after you flash stock image just go to recovery mode and do factory reset

After flashing and entering in the recovery, a android logo with an exclamation mark is showed... I have to flash twrp too or something?
after you see that exclamation mark i think you should press vol up/down or maybe power button to enter recovery mode, i forgot that cuz never use stock recovery for a long time. i think you can try to flash twrp and then do wipe/factory reset

Thanks, after flashing image from google I get a strange error. Searching for it in the web ended with two commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot update image-*
That finished to flash the imagen and the phone boot well as usually. :good:
