[Q] white triangle with yellow exclamation mark

Hello. I want to install the latest stable Cyanogenmod version 7.2.0 on my Nexus One which was up to now unlocked with stock software.
I followed instructions up to this point:
Installed Android SDK
Installed (downloaded) fastboot
Unlocked phone - bootloader now shows UNLOCKED, and the opened padlock symbol appears when powering up.
Downloaded and transferred recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Up to this point all was ok. However when I select RECOVERY (from within BOOTLOADER) and press the POWER button, the phone reboots and I end up with a green android, a white triangle and yellow exclamation mark. The phone basically sticks there and I have to remove the battery. A photo is attached for your reference.
I also downloaded and transferred recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img However the same thing happens.
So basically I am stuck at this point. I can only remove the battery, and reboot the phone using the stock ROM.
What do you recommend?

hw did you transfer recovery.img? was it successfully flashed?

Hi,
i transferred it using cmd prompt with command fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img and it was successful.
The same applies to when i transferred the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
What do you recommend?

White triangle and yellow exclamation mark means that you still have stock recovery, so the custom recovery flash did not work. When you see the triangle and exclamation mark you should push and hold both the Volume Up and Power Button (give it a few tries). Not that this will help you, but you don't have to pull the battery anymore
What do you see when you type fastboot devices in the command prompt when your phone is in fastboot mode?

Hi,
I run fastboot by starting a command prompt and changing to directory:
c:\users\xxxxxx\appdata\local\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
when I type fastboot devices i get the following reply:
HT05DP800931 fastboot
when I type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img i get the following reply:
sending recovery (3058 kb)
OKAY [ 0.499s]
writing 'recovery'....
OKAY [ 1.140s]
finished. total time 1.647s
So I assume the transfer is ok.
Is the path mentioned above correct?
Any idea what could be wrong?

All seems okay to me like that.. Could you try to flash 4EXT recovery? Make sure the recovery.img is in the same folder as fastboot (c:\users\xxxxxx\appdata\local\android\android-sdk\platform-tools). When it's finished, type fastboot reboot-bootloader and then navigate to recovery..

Hello Tommert38,
Immediately after i sent my last post i tried again RECOVERY and to my surprise it worked! I proceeded with Backup, Wipe Factory and installed zip from SD card (first Cyanogenmod and then Google apps).
Everything seems to work, apart from MARKET. I can browse apps, however when i select any app and try to download it, I get error message "app name" could not be downloaded due to an error.
I googled for similar problems and found a post on xda developers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1724463
However i cannot find a solution.
Can you help?

can try different rom?

I had similar problems with the white triangle/yellow exclamation mark.
Started with N1, never modified. Trying to run Recovery took me straight to triangle.
Unlocked bootloader, then tried to load ClockworkMod before rooting, as some tutorial told me to. File transferred without error, but still went straight to triangle when trying to run.
Rooted with SuperOneClick.
Went back and loaded CWM again with command line fastboot, again no error but still went to triangle when trying to run.
Downloaded Rom Manager (free) from app store, used it to install CWM. This actually worked for a few times, then it too started going directly to triangle when trying to run. It might have started failing when data was wiped, not sure.
Loaded the Amon Ra recovery tool using fastboot, it has worked reliably so far. Went on to load CGM 7.2 plus the apps, that was uneventful.
Some tutorial claimed you needed to load android-sdk directly under C:, not sure that's really required, but that's what I did.
Dave

That's happening most likely because all the participants of this thread are using stock ROM, and instead of booting to recovery directly from fastboot after flash, they first loaded the ROM and then tried to go to recovery.
Almost 3 years back, when actual developers with knowledge were all around this forum, it was a common knowledge that stock ROM overwrites the recovery on each boot, and to stop it from overwriting one should delete the stock recovery image that is used for that from the ROM. Also, booting to recovery directly after it was flashed and removing the stock recovery image from a ROM was a known way to avoid this kind of problems. I didn't try it, but I believe Google can still help finding these pieces of information, and Wiki definitely still holds them.
Well, I guess nobody reads the Wiki these days.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...ages#For_unlocked_bootloader_-_using_fastboot
What really disturbs me is that the thread went to 2nd page without even a hint for this answer, while it's all that simple to get to - "Wiki -> Recovery", and here you have it.

[Q] Cannot boot into recovery

I'm afraid I may have bricked my phone but good this time.
I had gone through the unlock,flash recovery, etc process a few months ago. Today I downloaded and installed what I think is a rom that was not intended for my phone and everything went south.
I am still able to boot into bootloader, and I can select FASTBOOT and plug the phone in. It switches to FASTBOOT USB, so I type
fastboot erase cache
That seems to work fine so I next type
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.imp
I get sending 'recovery'
OKAY
writing 'recovery'
OKAY
finished.
Swell So I power down and reboot to fastboot, then select recovery. I get a flash of the TWRP screen, then it goes blank and it tries to boot to the OS. Since there isn't one I get stuck at the htc quietly brilliant logo screen. (I'm not feeling particularly brilliant at the moment).
I just flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img and the same thing happened. I went back to 2.5.0.0-m7 and the same thing.
Am I screwed beyond repair or is there a way to fix this? Perhaps I'm using the wrong recovery image? If so can someone point me to the right one and where I might be able to download it from? I like TWRP a lot but their website is not the best I've ever seen.

You could try downloading the dev edition RUU and running it to get your phone to a working stock. After that, you could flash your specific rom to get back to your native stock. There are other options as well.

Try flashing CWM as well and see what happens ...

Seen this happen before, it was because 'fast boot' was selected in Settings.
Settings -> Power -> make sure "fast boot" is unticked. Then power the phone off, then boot to fastboot and flash recovery again.

Don't I have to be able to boot into recovery to run the RUU? Where can I get it?

Yes, I tried erase cache before and after, no difference.

I think you screwed something up in your device's file system, partition table or your bootloader is somehow damaged. As you can run fastboot, I strongly suggest a RUU. To get the right RUU for your phone there are numerous guides such as:

I think so. I just tried flashing CWM and was able to boot into it. It's showing unable to mount messages.

Looks like I have no choice but to try the RUU. I have been hesitant because I have yet to find a good explanation and good downloads of all the parts I need. Is there something like that available?

all right, this will certainly add to the confusion.
I flashed recovery_m7_att_stock and was able to get into it a little. Then I went back to the bootloader and flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7 and actually get into it.
WHAT?
I pushed the CM nightly rom to it and it installed, although there were some errors about not being able to mount some things data and cache. But it did install and I was able to get into CM.
I'm almost afraid to try anything else at this point.

unable to mount /cache is OK (caused by fastboot erase cache)
unable to mount /data is not ok, could be a corrupt /data partition

After rebooting I'm still able to get into TWRP. I've been able to flash a couple of ROMs (very carefully) and I'm no longer seeing any errors about not being able to mount.
Looks like what ever was wrong has been corrected. Now all we have to do is figure out what went wrong and what I did to fix it.
Thanks everyone.

HELP! Only have bootloader access!

I only have access to my bootloader......can't get into recovery or boot into the rom.
My terminal window keeps hanging on "waiting for device" so I don't think USB Debugging was enabled.....
The only thing that is looking bright is that my computer is recognizing my phone in Fastboot.
I'm completely clueless on what to do now.....
Please anyone help

Maybe try flashing recovery again?

Your recovery has not been flashed correctly. reflash the recovery using "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in fastboot mode:fingers-crossed:

still nothing it says on cmd that it is okay and okay but still nothing i have no idea how to fix but i'm thinking i didin't root my htc that's a problem?

Nope. Have you unlocked the bootloader?

Your HBoot must be S-OFF or Unlocked
If still won't work, try open a terminal emulator and flash the .img(NOT .zip) by the command "dd"(must be rooted).

Ok, calm down first
From what I've read so far your bootloader is unlocked. And now you've flashed a stock rom. How full was your battery when you flashed the file? Maybe it run out of juice? Does your pc recognice the phone?
