Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to help users understand how to use the default Android System Recovery <3e> image that is installed on the Nexus 10. Note that if you have already installed a custom recovery image such as Clockworkmod Recovery (CWMR) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) this will overwrite the stock default Android System Recovery. This guide will teach you how to access recovery mode, and how to use all the features of the default Android System Recovery <3e>.

What is Recovery Mode?
Recovery mode is a special environment that you can boot into for troubleshooting and upgrading purposes such as applying an update, performing a factory reset, or wiping the cache partition.

How to Access Recovery Mode
Recovery mode can be accessed in one of two ways by pressing a key combination or using adb. When you enter recovery mode the recovery options menu will be hidden and you will see an Android lying on it's back with a red triangle exclamation point. To show the recovery menu simultaneously hold the Power Button + Volume Up buttons.
Key Combination Method
The first way of accessing recovery mode is by pressing a key combination simultaneously. For the Nexus 10 recovery mode can be accessed by simultaneously holding the Power Button + Volume Up + Volume Down buttons. To show the recovery menu simultaneously hold the Power Button + Volume Up buttons.
ADB Method
The second way of accessing recovery mode is by issuing the following ADB (If you don't know what ADB is you can learn more about it here) command:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
To show the recovery menu simultaneously hold the Power Button + Volume Up buttons.

Using the Recovery Menu Options
When the recovery menu appears you will be presented with a menu selection that appears similar to this:
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
power button to select.
------------------------------------
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
------------------------------------
The volume up and volume down button can be used to highlight different options and the power button can be used to confirm your selection.
Reboot system now
The reboot system now option will exit recovery mode and reboot the tablet normally starting the normal Android operating system.
Apply update from ADB
The apply update from ADB option allows you to sideload a stock Android update to your device using ADB without the need for root access or a custom recovery (Note: You will need a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM, custom kernel, or other modifications, this only meant to apply official Google updates).
Prior to using the "apply update from adb" option you must make sure you have installed the Nexus 10 USB drivers, installed ADB, and made sure "USB Debugging" is checked under developer settings within Android. Once you have done these things from ADB issue the following command:
Code:
adb sideload <path/to/update.zip>
Where path/to/update.zip is the location on your computer that the update file is stored at and update.zip is the name of the file. An example using adb to sideload an update:
Code:
adb sideload JDQ39.zip
After you enter the sideload command the file should transfer to your device and once it is done transferring it will begin the update process. Once it has completed the update process, reboot your device.
Wipe data/factory reset
The wipe data/factory reset option erases the contents of /data partition as well as the /cache partition. This will erase any apps, pictures, music, data etc. you have stored on /data partition in addition to erasing the /cache partition. This will not erase your /system partition.
Wipe cache partition
The wipe cache partition erases the contents of /cache partition. Wiping the /cache partition is one common way of fixing a bootloop.

Nexus 10 - Google Play and Internal storage not accessible
Your explanation on recovery was useful. Thanks
My son rooted his new nexus 10 in january and reinstalled stock rom back again. After reinstallation, google play and the internal storage were not accessible. So the device could not install any new apps from Google and the Camera could not be used. When trying to open the camera it gives an error asking to install mass storage.
I too installed google stock rom both versions 4.2.2 and 4.2.1, formatted and wiped /data/media/ and /cache partitions several times but the end result is the same. Only some basic apps like gmail and chrome browser works.
Tried using different user id to log in , still there was no solution.
I was able to push and pull files into /data/media/ successfully. I learnt in one of the forum that /data/media/ is also named as /sdcard/ , i tried to write a fole to /sdcard/ folder it didn't work. So what's the problem with google play and internal storage? Is there anything I can do in the system folder to set it right.

Were you trying to restore the stock factory image? Did you have a custom recovery installed? It sounds like in the process of restoring the stock factory image it didn't restore properly and that's likely what's causing your problem with storage and camera. I would recommend restoring your tablet to stock by flashing the nexus 10 factory image for 4.2.2 https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mantaray-jdq39-factory-d79f489e.tgz.

I flashed into Stock Recovery and flashed the factory Google Image for 4.2.2, same from your link. Update runs without error. But the problem is still there.

Interesting, even after using fastboot to erase all the partitions and then using fastboot to flash the factory image your storage problem still persists correct? Have you encountered this problem before you root the tablet?
There was no problem before the rooting.

If your device is still giving you problems with the internal storage after flashing the Nexus 10 factory image (Through fastboot) multiple times it is possible a hardware issue has arisen in which case warranty would be your best option.
Just a note for everybody trying to get into recovery menu with wipe data etc. It's a bit tricky. First, get into the Recovery (lying robot) as described above. And then press briefly all three buttons (power+vol up+vol down) at the same time. If nothing happens, try again and again and again. You'll get there eventually. It requires some practice to press all those buttons at exactly same time. Holding them won't help.

Try wiping cache in recovery mode and see if that helps, if it doesn't resolve the problem I would re-flash the stock recovery image for your phone and see if that fixes it.
Can you flash a custom recovery while in stock recovery (adb sideload) and not rooted?

You cannot, you will need to use fastboot to flash a custom recovery since your not rooted.

Couple questions about stock revoery
1. Does adb option have root access? Or can it get it?
2. Will the adb option allow you to issue fastboot command?
3. If adb can't get root option how does it do the update?

To answer your questions:
1. You can restart the ADB daemon as root, by running the command adb root provided it is enabled in the build. Keep in mind stock recovery adb access other then sideload doesn't always work.
2. ADB and Fastboot are two separate things, you will need to boot the device into the bootloader in order to issue Fastboot commands to the device.
3. I assume you are talking about adb sideload, the process that performs the sideload operation runs as root through kernel level operations (File permissions and otherwise). Overall the whole sideload operation is coded into the recovery to allow it to be performed with the necessary file permissions and processes.
If you have any further questions let me know I'll be happy to help you out.

I posted this over in Q&A last night but that form seems to have lower traffic.
Basically I followed Marzs Root-Unlock-Relock guide using the included tools, in this order
AIO Root - good
Unlock bootloader w/ Pudding using derpunlock.sbf then fastboot oem unlock. - good(or so it seems)
FlashCWM - Appears fine... but it's not.
However when I boot into clockworkmod it takes me to normal recovery (Triangle, Exclamation mark).
I've done some fiddling around with it and I'm able to get to Clockworkmod recovery if after I fastboot flash it I pull the battery and boot into recovery. I can boot into recovery so long as I don't reboot the phone fully.
Sorry about the duplicate post again, I just would really like to get this resolved, and it seems some other people are having the same or similar problem.
When booting the phone it say's UNLOCKED in the top left corner, and I've gone in with fastboot and tried re-unlocking it to which it says that the boot loader is already unlocked.
the phone is running Android 2.3.4 Build 198_6
I've also tried flashing TWRP recovery and it's the same thing.
Did you erase recovery first I know you said you followed it just asking cause thats what it sounds like to me go back into motofastboot erase recovery then flash recovery then while in fastboot reboot recovery

Yep, I used the moto-fastboot erase recovery specified in the instructions, and it said that was Okay as well.

I did this using root explore and it seems to work. Maybe one of the mods could sticky this or add it to the compendium.
What I did just incase anybody else needs help is:
open root explorer
navigate to system/etc
mount R/W
Renames install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
mount R/O
Then I shut down the phone.
booted into fastboot mode
followed the direction to flash CWM as my recovery,
BUT at the end of recovery I instead of moto-fastboot reboot I used moto-fastboot reboot-booloader. I let reboot and then I pulled the battery.
then I booted up into recovery (power +volume down until you see fastboot, then hit volume down till you see Android Recovery. hit volume up to select) and I cleared my cache and my dalvik cache.
rebooted my phone, then shut it down. and I was able to finally get back to recovery.
Thanks a ton this was very perplexing

Here's a simpler method that worked on my Xoom.
unlock
flash recovery
boot into recovery
root
then while still in CWM, no reboot, but instead:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
reboot with CWM
Only had to flash CWM once.
Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this, and I was told before I start getting into ROMS that I need to run this software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
So I followed each and every step, and my phone rebooted and it said "Unlocked" like it was supposed to. BUT, when it booted into the OS, it booted into the stock OS as if I had just bought it off the shelf. Additionally, I am seeing a little exclamation point and android character when I go to the Android Recovery option under fastboot (also installed via linked software)
What happened!?
Congratulations, you have just successfully unlocked the bootloader. Obviously you had higher hopes and were expecting bells and whistles, sorry to disappoint but that's it for this step. Next, flash a custom recovery via fastboot (I recommend the RomRacer's version of CWM), and then use that recovery to flash whatever ROM you choose. Instructions for all these steps are available in other threads. Good luck!

I thought when the phone rebooted after unlocking bootloader, it would boot back into the system I had before unlocking it? I flashed the "Tenfar recovery" that was in the automated script. However, when I flashboot into "Android Recovery," this is when I get to the exclamation point/ android character. Is this normal?
EDIT: I just reran the script to install recovery, and it seems to have worked the second time. I ran a backup and saved it on my external SD card, but is this backup of MY system, or of whatever its now booting into after being unlocked?
Ok guys, apparently I've somehow managed to screw this up. I swear I am following instructions completely!
I decided to try MIUI first, and so I made the backup, wiped all the data/cache/etc, and flashed the ROM. Upon reboot I discovered I couldnt get past the Dual Core screen. So, I rebooted into recovery and flash my backup, and have now found out that I cant get past the "Rethink Possible" screen.
Since at that point you haven't flashed anything else yet, the backup you made couldn't be anything else but your "normal" system.
No idea what (if anything) might've gone wrong, but here's something that you maybe didn't know - after flashing a new ROM, the following boot will always take MUCH longer than usual. After that the phone should boot at "normal" speed again. So have patience and give it time.
Also, not sure how come you're stuck at "rethink" screen. As far as I know that's the very end of the boot process, it is shown just before the launcher starts. Still, give it more time. If nothing happens after, say, 5 mins, try booting into recovery and wipe data and cache, then try booting normally again.
I think I may have found the problem. When I go to restore, it runs for a while, and then says "Error formatting /data"
What should I do?
Alright, im at a loss here. I've done everything I can think of. I've tried every restore setting possible, I've wiped everything MANY times, I've flashed a few diff ROMS to try to get ANYTHING to work.
I am utterly confused about why none of this is working. I've read so much info on the forums that my head is just swimming. I never thought this would be that hard.
At this point I'd just like to get ANYTHING working so that I have a usable phone tomorrow.
sounds like you're having lots of fun :laugh: try not to worry... we've all been there to varying degrees
If this was me I wouldn't go down the 'fastboot' method but just stick to accessing android recovery by the 'power off/on, hold volume down when powering on, and then selecting android recovery'
After this you should be into the phone's recovery mode with the menu in front of you? scroll down to 'wipe data/factory reset' and select (by pressing the power button) after this select 'wipe cache partition' and repeat the process.
Then go to 'install zip from sd card' and select this... if you have installed the ROM's correctly you should have a list at the bottom of the 'sd card' list? Select the rom you want and install by pressing power button ect.
Once this has been installed you then need to 'go back' to the main recovery page and then select 'reboot system'
Let us know if this helps... and good luck!
i would add wipe all (data & cache) again after installing!
I would try this:
Power down your phone, go to fastboot mode (Power + Vol-, then find Fastboot with Vol- and confirm with Vol+), connect to computer, then on the computer run these commands:
Code:
moto-fastboot erase -w
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then in the same menu as before, select Android recovery (and confirm with Vol+). When in recovery, try doing restore again.
If that doesn't work either, here's an alternative method to wipe /data from recovery using adb.
When in recovery, connect the phone to the computer and run this:
Code:
adb shell
That should place you in the phone's shell. Now in recovery go to Mounts and storage > Mount /data.
Then in the phone shell (on the computer) run this:
Code:
mount | grep /data
It should print something like:
Code:
[color=red]/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B][/color] on /data type ext3 (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)
Note the first value printed. For me it's /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 but I'm not sure if that goes for all Atrixes out there, so better safe than sorry.
Now go back to recovery and select Mounts and storage > Unmount /data.
Now back to the computer - run this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[B]XX[/B]
Where XX is obviously what you got from the previous command.
When it's done (you get your prompt back), type exit and go back to recovery on the phone. Now you can try restoring your backup or flashing a ROM or whatever.
Solved

1. Turn off your phone.
2. Boot your phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Power Button).
3. Install the zip file in the following link. h ttp: // ww w.m ediafire. com/download/sh541l2u2e78vl6/CWM6.0.27.z ip (DELETE ALL SPACES )
4.Reboot into the custom recovery you have just installed.
5.Go to toggle signature verification and check if it is enabled or disabled. If it is enabled, you HAVE TO disable it.
6. Select ROM.zip from your phone memory and flash it.
7.If you do not have the rom on your phone(The same ROM of which you deleted the system folder), then mount the usb storage from recovery with your phone connected to the PC. Transfer files to the usb storage or phone storage, which ever is convenient.
8.Boot into Recovery and flash the ROM.
9.Reboot phone and WAIT.

Mr.Jaswal, if he really had to go to the mobile care center, he wouldn't be participating the XDA Forums. People go to the mobile care center only when their phone is hard bricked, and i do not think that is the case here. I'm sure the problem can be solved.

Yes you can, as long as your phone is rooted.But make sure you use a custom recovery and not the stock recovery .Meaning,you have to flash another recovery like CWM Recovery. And please disable signature verification. Let me know what happens Reset to factory settings and do a full wipe before doing anything else though

Yes, install the CWM.zip via stock recovery first. Find the right version for your phone.This one:
h ttp://ww w.mediafire.com/download/sh5 41l2u2e78vl6/CWM6.0. 27.z ip (Delete the spaces and use link)
After you have done that, you can flash a custom rom like this one:
h ttp://w ww.mediafire.co m/download/cxec9dz9be86icc/DarkBoid+ROM+by+Santo_Rock.zi p(Delete spaces in link)
Let me know the satus after that :good:
REMEMBER: Disable signature verification from the recovery menu of the CWM recovery

If that's the way your phone goes into recovery , then it will go into the custom recovery. You will not have the stock recovery. You won't need it

Did you disable signature verification? Do that and try. If that doesn't work either you can use fastboot to install recovery, which will 100%.
Follow these steps :
1.USB drivers for your phone must be installed on a computer.
2.Android SDK must be installed on your computer.
3.Your phone must be connected to your computer via USB.
4.The ADB and Fastboot drivers must be pasted into the folder where Android SDK is installed.
5.Navigate to the Android SDK folder,press shift and Right Click, select the Open Command Window here option.
6.Then type the following after your phone is recognized by cmd.In most cases it is.(Type this command to start fastboot : "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot devices")
7.After that type the following : fastboot devices
And then : fastboot flash recovery FILE.ZIP
8.And you are done Open your custom recovery with the key combination used to open your stock recovery.
Let me know if it worked.

Do i need to download the adb and Fastboot Drivers? Or is it already inside the file of Android Sdk but it must be installed first..

In the command: fastboot flash recovery FILE.ZIP...is it really FILE.ZIP that i will input or CWM.Zip or TWRP.Zip?

CWM.zip is what you will input. The name of the CWM.zip should match the command. Or you will need to change the zip file name to CWM.zip if it is named something else

by the way ..how can i disable signature verification?
Hello, I tried to install the latest paranoid android but now have a system that only freezes on boot or turns on into fastboot mode. The following is what I have done:
unlock bootloader
(system 23.1.A.1.28)
root using exploit for 5.0.2 with super su
installed recovery apk which installed some NDR tool as well to switch between recoveries
some phills touch ui was the default and teamwin only worked if selected from the NDR app and rebooted
booted into teamwin, did a full wipe
mtp wasn't working to copy ROM so did a reboot, also tried to sideload before reboot but the stupid twrp said the device was 'leo' instead of D6503 or whatever so it didn't want to work
phone stuck so tried to use fastboot to flash system pa-sirrius-rom.zip
also tried to flash system backup from twrp but it's a win.000 and win.001 file and not sure how to join them to get a working system.img??
why won't recovery boot and how do i get a working system again. how do i convert a twrp backup to one that fastboot recognises and isn't split in 2?
If you have an unlocked bootloader just download a kernel with recovery built in. Flash the kernel 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. Your phones not booting anyway so it really doesn't matter what kernel, as long as it has built in recovery. Boot into TWRP and recovery your backup.
Edit:
I'd you have an unlocked bootloader, don't wast your time with apks that install recovery. I'm my experience they're always hacky. Just get a recovery for fota partition or a boot image with one built in.

Thanks for the reply.
I finally found a boot.img with TWRP built in (from the cyanogen project). I also found out that I had to flash it (fastboot boot command doesn't seem to work).
I can boot the recovery just fine but it will not mount any partitions and the only thing listed in the wipe menu is "Dalavik Cache".
I have attached a screenshot of the TWRP log.
It won't let me post links because my experience is low.

Edit:
I can format the system partition and even mount it from the command line, it just doesn't appear in the TWRP UI.
In the mount menu, it has a checkbox which I cannot uncheck that says "Only mount system read-only".
Edit:
Booted from the cyanogen recovery image which had its own adb sideload which I used to load cyanogen and now it's working!
Recently bricked my honor 5x used fast boot to get it out of boot loop. (Because I tried to its update my phone with twrp)now when I try to re flash twrp it gets replaced by the stock recovery Everytime . Please help!
Samething happend to me... cannot flash twrp because when i restart phone after flashing twrp, it gets replaced by stock recovery.
What i do now is to boot to twrp instead of flashing using this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img
Hopefully there is a solution for this flashing problem.

you can't just reboot after flashing recovery ...you have to boot directly to twrp after the flash with power + volume up (Skip the fastboot reboot step)
the simple way is to copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to your sdcard
fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now in twrp choose install / image / then choose kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose reboot / recovery
you now have kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
from then on adb reboot recovery from android
or power + volume up will enter TWRP

why are you using adb ?
did you read the instructions i posted
I have the stock recovery.
I cant get into twrp.
I tried to flash then go straight to twrp which gets replaced by stock bootloader
Idk it gets replaced everytime
Okay the adb thing stopped I got into twrp by doing the fastboot thing but when i boot into recovery it goes to the stock recovery.

I really don't know why you don't seem to get it
it's this simple
you fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now while in TWRP copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to the phone
Also copy SuperSU-v2.64.zip (or newer) to the phone
after the files are copied choose Install / Image / kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose install / SuperSU.zip
next choose Reboot / Recovery
you now have TWRP recovery and you can enter it by using power + volume up
or from an app on the phone (I use Quickboot) or from a pc with adb reboot recovery
I have the same problem, i tried with your method but the system continue to replace bootloader, impossible to keep twrp on recovery
Edit : I try to install Root Checker, it detect my phone is root but impossible to access to TWRP, very strange

Tried this on my KIW-L21, as this is the only way I did not try it yet...
Did not work, unfortunately, I assume the OP could have the same problem as I already posted in the TWRP thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66678377&postcount=509
(It is a shame people spam this thread with unlocking problems, though)
EarlyMon mentioned something about dual recovery partitions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66838009&postcount=529
So regardless how many times I flash TWRP it wont stick until the next reboot to recovery, as it gets replaced by the stock one all the time.
I am thankful for every news on that topic and I would happily help(to the extent I am able to) getting TWRP back onto our phones :good:
P.S.: I am not quite sure if the OP has another problem in flashing the recovery, though.

So you are booting TWRP
Installing / TWRP.Img in TWRP and Reboot recovery and your not booting to TWRP ?
Just my two cents into this thread: apparently (from my personal experience, and EarlyMon seems to back this up) the Honor 5X for whatever reason allows the installation of TWRP but still keeps Huawei's stock recovery in place, unlike most phones. What's more, it randomly (yeah, guessing it's not random obviously, but I don't have the slightest clue what the pattern might be) decides to boot into stock recovery while I use the same hardware keys that have continuously booted me into TWRP up until that point. This behavior led me to believe I had bricked my phone for a day, lol (I made a recent post about it on this forum, in case anyone cares).
Bottom line: if you can't boot into TWRP even though you made sure to install it correctly, try changing the key combo. Vol down + Power not working for you? Try Vol Up. Neither work? Try Vol Up + Down + Power. Spice it out and it might solve your problems.

That is correct:
Connected Phone to PC
ADB reboot bootloader
fastboot boot kiwi.img
install image kiwi.img
reboot recovery
Tada, Stock eMUI Recovery :[
I really had hoped it would do the trick, though.

The last approach was done with the one from the first post of the TWRP thread here on XDA(https://goo.gl/53xai9) "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img"
I also tried the TWRP images from https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor5x.html but always the same result.
I can try with a specific image, just give me a link and I'll try to flash it. :fingers-crossed:
