Red ! Triangle - Reboot Recovery

[Mordecaidrake]

If you're running the stock rom every time you reboot it will remove the CWR, this is built into the android OS. So until you swap out that ROM to something other than stock you'll have to reflash CWR every time you reboot.

Ok thank you for clearing that up. I was running the Stock ROM. I was just worried that if I did flash a diff ROM that this would cause problems somewhere along the way.

No problem man, it's just a security thing with android. If you fup your phone it'll reflash the stock recovery so you can still fix things. But with CWR installed you don't have that problem.

Just want to reiterate that the suggestion to delete (or rename) /system/boot-from-recovery.p would also work and enable you to keep your stock image yet get into CWM recovery.

If you don't want to spend the $4 for File Explorer, you can do what I did.

Download the following two apps:
Mount /system (rw/ro)
ASTRO File Manager

Start Mount /system (rw/ro) to put mount /system as rw
Navigate to /system folder via ASTRO and delte boot-from-recovery.p
Then go back into the first app to unmount /system

Done. OK to uninstall both apps if you don't need them. Also, the above file serves NO purpose except to block you from accessing a custom recovery, so don't even bother renaming, just delete and be done with it.

Tried this, and it wouldnt let me delete that file

Every time I attempted to enter Recovery Mode I get the red triangle with " ! " and android lying on the ground. I've tried to get to recovery via rom manager, also power + volume up/down no luck. Anyone now a fix... Thanks in advance.

For future reference.

You must tap volume up/down and the power button all together. Don't hold them in. Just tap all together at the same time and let go. It takes a couple tries but it works.

You'll then get a menu that will let you reboot, wipe, clear cache, etc.

I experienced this after making my first nandroid backup. I rebooted and then went and deleted the backup file on my SDcard using Root Explorer.

Once you do that, you will be about to boot into CWM from Rom Manager without getting the error icon.

There is a process to make CWM permanent by flashing the toro.img file using SDK. I would post the link here but its on a competing website. I am sure you know the one.

Did you toggle between RO and RW?

Took me two tries between the two apps myself. First time didn't work, but it worked on the second go-around.

Changed the end of "/system/boot-from-recovery.p" to .bak and booted right into CWM recovery with no problems! Thanks for the info.

Flash CWM Recovery

You're rooted?
are you saying you fixed it?
if you need to, you can flash recovery via adb instead of thru rom manager.

 

[DB12088]

i am rooted and i can not get in the bootloader manually either as of right now i am stuck

ok so, you've been trying to get to bootloader/recovery manually right? by pressing VOL up, VOL down, and POWER together while the phone is off?

so, you flash recovery this way -

download this file: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-toro.img

that's for touch recovery. if you prefer you can google search for the regular recovery for cdma gal nex.

rename the file recovery.img

place that file in the same folder as fastboot - should be in the adb tools folder or platform tools folder i believe.

so, connect your phone and open the command window.

open (cd) the adb folder

enter this command:

adb reboot bootloader

that should restart you in the bootloader mode.

then, when that's done restarting, enter this command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img




let me know if this works for ya or if you need clarification on anything
