[Q] Recovery 4.0.3 stock crash - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm trying to update to 4.0.4, and I booted in recovery.
After using a bright light to see what's on the screen (backlight is turned off...), I saw the "dead" robot with a red triangle warning sign in its belly.
How can I fix that?
TIA

[Q] Recovery doesn't work and the phone doesn't reboot

Hey, I installed ICS on my Nexus S. After that, the phone doesn't boot (stays at loading screen). When I wanted to go to recovery to issue the problem, it doesn't work.
- I boot the phone with Bootloader option
- Then, I put Recovery option and the phone restarts and the Google logo appears,
but
- After, appears an android logo with a poligon and the screen is going to black for ever (the controls are iluminated).
Can anyoneissue this problem?
Thanks.
P.D: I didn't make any format (dalvik, data, etc) I forgot it.

Thanks a lot!
could you try to reboot in recovery via ADB? (adb reboot recovery)
The ICS recovery for i9023 is bugged, it does not turn the backlight on, try shining a bright light on it

You're right. It shows an Android Icon in horizontal position with an exclamation on it. What does it mean?

The ADB doesn't recognize my phone. ADB is configured, Drivers are updated. But debuging mode wasn't enabled (is that the problem). Thanks

that is the same thing that popped up for gingerbread recovery, except it it just a different logo/symbol. I had the same problem, you just need to shine an extremely bright light on it, so when the android icon comes up in recovery, do the same as gingerbread. Hold down and just press the power button once and you will then go to your recovery menu and all options are available.
It's a very annoying bug, but it's just the backlight is out.

Holding volume down and tapping power doesn't do anything?

Exclaimation and issues!

Ok so I just got back from the device support center and my phone was acting weird. The touch screen was not working so I booted into recovery and got a little android with a triangle and inside the triangle there is a yellow ! sign. Can I like flash the recovery partiton? How or can I restore this phone?

From the "Android yellow exclamation triangle thing-a-ma-bob" (I know that's not technical jargon, but whatever), hold down BOTH volume buttons to boot Android System Recovery. Go from there...

Hold the up/down volume buttons down and it will take you to the stock recovery menu where you should be able to choose reboot. Volume buttons navigate, power button selects.
Thank you now its all good

Relay Wont Boot Into Recovery Mode

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.
