I had the same problem, because I had already taken the 4.0.4 update. The problem I (and I suspect the others) were having is the reboot after Odin installs the CWM. It happens so fast, there's no time to unplug the tablet and do the button dance to boot into recovery. As a result, the normal boot goes through, and runs the install-recovery.sh that Ryan79 mentioned in system/etc, restoring stock recovery.
Here's how I solved it:
1). On Odin, uncheck "Auto Reboot".
2). Install CWM6.
3). When it goes green, unplug the tablet (still in "download" screen).
4). Reboot manually into recovery (hold power + Vol. left, release power, hold vol. left until CWM screen comes up). I did this straight from the "download" screen. The tablet powered off after a few seconds of holding the power button, then came up to the samsung screen, then I released the power button and continued to hold the volume button until CWM6 loaded.
5). I installed the cwm-root-gtab2.zip file.
6). I selected YES when the "Stock Reboot Fix" question appeared.
Rebooted from recovery, Successful root! Looks to me like the "fix" simply renames the install-recovery.sh, removing the ".sh" at the end. I have now rebooted a couple of times normally, and can still access CWM6 through the buttons.

[Q] Red Triangle on Android Man

I have a Xoom WiFi on Android 4.1.2
I was trying to Unlock, Flash Recovery, Root and then Flash a Rom. I have Flashed on my phone a couple of times so I am a little familiar with the process.
I did the following:
1.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
2.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "name of file".img. (the file i used was "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-wingray.img").
3.
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
This is where things go wrong.
Upon reboot,
I press down volume upon seeing the logo.
It then says Android Recovery.
I then press up volume.
then it says entering Android Recovery Mode
reading ODM Fuse:1
Then the Green Android man shows up with the red triangle.
It sits there for a while then boots into Android normally.
I have been searching for a solution since this morning. Everything I found about this has not helped.
Earlier in the day I did Flash a different Recovery so I think I have two. I installed the ROM manger app. It shows two installed.
ClockworkMod Recovery
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
I am stuck as to what to do... Please help.
Thanks
Jim

Please follow the Root Method mentioned in the 2nd Post of LAIOT thread . You can easily find it within the Development Forum , or my signature.
"This Story Ends Where It Began" - Octavarium (Dream Theater)
Sent from my GT-I9505

One of the files link is broken.
The requested URL /atftas/OEM/Motorola/XOOM/Xoom-Universal-Root.zip2 was not found on this server.

I have another problem.
Now I have two devices. If I unplug the Xoom it still finds emulator 5554. What is emulator 5554?
Thanks
Jim

I got around the emulator 5554 problem by using the -d option. I followed everything and all went fine. I installed the app Root Checker Basic but it says Sorry! this device does not have proper root access.
All steps completed with no errors.
I guess I'm stuck again.
Jim

I flashed back to stock. Did all the steps again and the same thing.

I tried several more times and it still would not work.
I went to another site and downloaded the root.zip and it worked this time. The root file on this site would not work for for some reason.
The Android man with the red triangle problem is also gone. Not sure what fixed it. I assume that it was because I flashed back to stock and used a different root.zip file.
Thanks for all the help
Jim

[Q] My Micromax A110 Doesn't Boot :(

Hi,
Am a newbie in problem resolution of phone. Looking for some tips.
I have a Micromax A110. And suddenly it started showing the screen with words and an option "Reset Phone". But that option never worked. Nothing happened when tried pressing that button.
So read some sites, and used the volume up + volume down + power button. Went into "recovery mode" using volume up.
(There was one more option with volume down: 'recovery mode')
Within that 3 options
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Used Recovery Mode and did:
wipe data/factory reset. Completed.
wipe cache partition. Completed.
Now the mobile doesn't boot. It flashes the "CANVAS" and stays there forever.
What should I be doing now to boot my mobile / or make it usable?
I have never come across this in the past.
Also P.S: I have not rooted or updated the s/w in your terms. The problem started all on its own while I was riding!
Thanks,
Rgds, Shesha

In continuation with the above, and the understanding thru the forum, did the following;
Installed the SP Flash Tool on to my Laptop.
Followed as per the below link
androidxda.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
Reached and completed step 8, step 9 did as mentioned and there hasn't been any progress.
Had downloaded this file "MMX A110 Stock Rom V2 - 11th Dec + Flash Tools". This helped for both SP Flash Tool & ROM

Unable to resolve

Odin always shows "SOS", and APX method fails before partitioning

Hi, I was triying to flash TWRP to my i9103 and Odin, failed and showed "SOS". Since then the phone doesn't boot any longer. I've tried to flash again TWRP and the stock roms hundreds of times with different ODIN versions, and even with a fresh Windows installation and even with jODIN from a Mac. Nothing worked. It always shows "SOS".
Also I even tried the APX method, and started flashing something, but then it failed.
I can access the system recovery, but I can't flash from sdcard, since it only detects the internal storage, not the SD.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you in advance.

Share the screenshot of odin
Are you able to enter into download mode? (power key + home button + vol-)

Yes I'am able, and I retried again the APX method and managed to flash the boot, but Odin continues showing "SOS" after a couple of seconds.
Now the phone screen shows the following message in red:
"Write data size is too big[13\MDM] [Data:12583168(B) -> Part: 614476144(2KB)]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![err:0xffffffff]"
No matter if I try to flash a full firmware or just CWM.
In the case of full firmware it fails when Odin shows it is flashing the modem part.
Thanks.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery?

So, I got my new OnePlus One today and I tried to get CM12 onto it. I was following the [GUIDE] How to Install CM12 on the OnePlus One- Android Lollipop/5.0 on the OPO forums, and everything went well until I tried to get the TWRP on there. I flashed the recovery and rebooted the phone. I turned it off and then tried to boot it into recovery but it doesn't, it just hangs at the OPO logo until I hard-restart it.
I've tried factory resetting it and doing
fastboot oem unlock
but nothing happened. The factory reset pretty much just reset the phone. I think I might've messed up the kernel. How do I fix it?
EDIT 1: I've tried reflashing twrp recoveries and nothing. When I hold power+volume down, it powers on, shows the one plus logo, then reboots and just goes to the lockscreen.
UPDATE 1: I managed to manually flash all the CM12 files and use lollipop. I haven't tried the recovery yet but I'll keep you guys updated (if any of you even care).
UPDATE 2: Apparently flashing CM12 made the recovery work. Everything works as it should and the OTA to the most recent CM12 worked perfectly.

You're probably doing the button combo wrong. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

I was curios and enabled advanced reboot to try and boot into recovery and it worked (after I had flashed CM12). Everything's working now.

How did you manually flash CM12? I think I'm having the same trouble you were having. I used the oneplus toolbox from the forum to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP, but no luck in getting into recovery mode. It just boot loops with the oneplus logo until I release the volume down button at which point it then boots to the lock screen.

@Heisenberg I'm also having trouble getting into recovery. I've tried the different button combos (power + vol down; power + vol down and release power) as well as the advance reboot options to get into recovery, but they all fail. I get the 1+ logo and after I let go of the volume down button the screen goes black and boots again to the 1+ screen and then to the lockscreen. It's almost like it doesn't recognize the recovery. I tried putting the stock recovery back on using the image in the OnePlus One toolkit folder, but that one doesn't work either. In addition to unchecking the "CM Recovery Update", are there any other settings that could be causing problems?
For background info, I initially used the toolkit interface to unlock the bootloader and then flash the recovery. The bootloader unlocked with no issue...it wiped my device and I was in sync with the "How to root" video posted by alex.inthi. I got sidetracked after the (seemingly) successful flash of TWRP onto the phone I kept getting booted into the Cyanogen recovery. I realized out that I needed to uncheck the setting to keep it from overwriting TWRP and after that was not able to boot into recovery. After finding your beginners guide (thanks, by the way, very well written) I tried using fastboot from the command line as you show, but still no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Okay, I must have been having a special kind of moment - I've got TWRP 2.8.7.0 running on my handset now. I may have been holding the volume down button too long, or it may be that I was using an older version of TWRP, but I'm going to go with the former. I've also been able to successfully flash and boot into Philz 6.59.2

Having the same problem
I am having the exact same problem and cannot seem to find a solution. Recovery screen just doesn't appear, but goes to lockscreen.
Tried erasing, flashing both twrp, philz etc., but nothing works. The phone doesn't recognize the recovery status. Advanced booting does the same.
Update CM-recovery is checked off, phone is unlocked. I've followed every step of the big guide down to every detail.
Is manually flashing the 12.1 ROM the only way and in that case: is it hard for a relative newcomer?
