Hi there,
I recently flashed KitKat to my one used the pre-rooted RUU.
(I am S-OFF with SuperCID)
After that I tried to get into recovery, just to see if its working.
But when I click on RECOVERY with the power button after some seconds a red exclamation mark shows up (see attachment).
So I tried to extract the recovery.img from the firmware.zip file, linked in the RUU-Thread.
I flashed this recovery.img with: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But this changed anything.
So I tried the a stock recovery from this thread which changed the situation to an other red exclamation mark.
What does the red exclamation mark mean and how can I get rid of it?
Thank you!

This is the stock recovery, you need to press vol + and power I think to enter menu
Hold your volume down and power keys until the bootloader starts up.
Using the volume keys, navigate down to RECOVERY and press power.
Wait until the icon has stopped spinning and you see the android with the red exclamation mark above it.
First hold volume up, then (with volume up held down) press power to enter the main recovery menu.

Hi, really hoping someone can help me here.
I have a Nexus One that was running a stock Android 2.2 FRF91, and I want to go to a CM ROM.
I've been following the wiki guide here.
I have completed the "Unlocking the Bootloader" section.
I have chosen to use Amon_Ra's recovery. When I ran the command this is what I got back in the command window, so it looks to have been successful.
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3962 KB)... OKAY [ 0.764s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.576s]
finished. total time: 2.340s
I was then able to update the Radio. Now I'm stuck trying to flash the ROM.
This is exactly what I do leading up to my current problem.
Switch the phone on holding down the trackball.
Select Bootloader option.
Select Recovery.
At this point it reboots, but I am left with a little green android man and a white triangle with an orange ! mark.
HELP! Thank you.

Simple:
After install recovery reboot holding VOL DOWN and enter first time in Amon-RA.
Now "flash update.zip"----->CyanogenMod6-RC2 (it contains root etc.)
If you reboot and retry to enter in recovery you'll have little android in triangle...that's because ota FRF91 has a script in system/etc/install-recovery.sh that at every boot change at default recovery. If you have root you can delete that file, but if you haven't you have to do that:
1. install recovery
2. at reboot enter directly in recovery (at first time)
3. install cyano rom
4. reboot
5. now you can flash amon-ra recovery and it is forever
Hello, and thanks for your quick reply!
Still problems though...I'll note exactly what I'm doing.
Phone is not connected to USB and is switched off.
Hold down VOL DOWN and Power button.
Press VOL DOWN and then press in the Power button to select RECOVERY.
Now the phone reboots and I'm back to the little green man with the triangle and orange ! mark.
:-S

So..
Enter in fastboot and reload recovery with fastboot, at the first reboot enter in recovery....first time you'll enter in AMon-RA and do what i wrote up.
Sorry, so just to be clear...
Are these the steps to follow?
Connect phone to PC.
Power on phone holding down the power button
From the PC running the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At first reboot after this hold down VOL DOWN to flash CM update.zip
Is that correct?
Thanks.

No (IMPORTANT (not reboot completely):
1. connect phone and POWER UP holdin VOL DOWN
2. enter in fastboot and reload amon-ra recovery first
3. at reboot (after you have loaded amon-ra) VOL DOWN and choose recovery with POWER button----------->AMOn-RA
...............understood?
OK, so I'm doing what you say.
I have the phone connected to the PC.
I turn it on holding the VOL DOWN button.
I get to a white screen with 3 green android men and 4 options (FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, and SIMLOCK).
From a command prompt on the PC I try to run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, but this just sits there saying ( waiting for device ).
If I try to enter the RECOVERY mode it reboots back the point point where I was stuck to begin with.
I really appreciate your help, please stick with me! Thanks.
WAIT! Think I've got it working...will report back shortly.

When you are in blank screen you have to see fastboot in red.
In prompt have you written: fastboot devices?
It gives you such a "HTC 123455666..." If yes you have to load recovery like first time...after you have to choose recovery in blank screen if possible directly with POWER BUTTON...i hope..
Hurrah! Think it looks to be complete now.
Thank you so much for your help HTCDevil.

Just a little help
When I go into recovery on my Nexus One all I get is a white triangle with an exclamation in the middle and an Android. It does nothing after that. Is there something I need to do?
"what does this mean"
It means you're in the stock recovery.
On that screen press Power & Volume + together to access the stock recovery options.

Push the Volume Up key followed by the Power button to enter into the HTC Recovery.

Used fastboot to flash recovery.img from the official Moto file MOTXT1060DEV_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_1FF-CID2.xml
When I tell the phone to boot into recovery I get the android guy on his side with the red triangle. I can still hold the power button to reboot into the phone and it works fine. However any time I try to go into recovery it's back to the red triangle. I have tried wiping cache via adb as well.
I searched google and the forums and am still stuck.
I believe with stock recovery you have to press power + volume up for a moment, then release them simultaneously and it bypasses the red triangle.
Been a while since I have owned a non-Nexus... not sure if that is a Nexus-only thing.

i didn't stay on stock recovery for long, but I dont remember that.
In either case while looking at the android guy on his side with the red triangle neither power+dwn or power+up do anything. If I hold it too long eventually the phone restarts.
/edit
Ah ha! You are a genius. Power + both volume buttons worked (or I have fat fingers)!
Since I *assumed* something was jacked up I didn't search for "how to enter recovery when everything is working right" my bad
thanks!!!!!!!

I figured it was something like that. Glad you were able to stumble upon it!

You enter bootloader mode by pressing Volume Down + Power, holding for about 3 seconds and then releasing.
Then you boot into recovery by pressing Volume Down to highlight Recovery and then Volume Up to select Recovery.

Yep. It was being in stock recovery and seeing the sideways android with the red triangle that was confusing me. I didn't realize another key combination was required to get past that.

I think that's Google saying: if you're here, it'd better damn well be deliberately!

Ah, yes, you do need to do more to get into stock recovery. I didn't realize it myself since I have mostly been using my Dev Ed in custom recovery.

This is normal. Hold power and press volume up once when that screen appears to enter recovery.

Ahh good to know. I had no idea it was normal as I've never seen the nexus 6 stock recovery screen. I expected to see an android guy on his back but not the red exclamation point in the box. Thank you again!
