I have a Motorola Xoom that I was trying to boot into recovery.
There's a problem, my volume up button is broken. Didnt realize it before so now I'm stuck at the logo with the choice to scroll between RSD, Fastboot or Recovery but cant select any mode.
Is there a way to exit this ? Tried to keep the power button pressed and tried various combiations of vol down and power but no result.
If I let it sit and drain the battery, will it eventually get out of this mode ?
Thanks

Plug it into your computer and run adb then type fast boot reboot.

Sorry I should be more specific. Download easyadb and unzip it. Plug your Xoom into the computer and open a command prompt in that file with adb in it. Change your Xoom to fast boot protocol support and type fast boot reboot in adb.

Actually maybe try to press the volume up button really hard..
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The problem with connecting to the pc is that adb wont recognize the device. Its because the device is stuck in select mode and not going into either of the RSD/Fastboot/Recovery options.
I can scroll through them but even hard pressing the up button wont work. I dropped it and the button doesnt work.
They are pretty easy to take apart, check out some videos on YouTube, etc and see if you can fix your volume button.
Thanks brandogg, Thats what I was planning to do. Or take it back to a verizon store since its still under warranty I think
Use your idea and let the battery drain..
Letting the battery drain overnight worked.
Thanks
So I installed TWRP on my vzw G2 and I don't know the button combo to boot back into it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I too would like to know

You can use GooManager to reboot into recovery. But I don't know how to do it when the phone is off.
From another thread:
For TWRP press and hold the power and volume down button. When the LG logo pops up let go for a second and press the combo again. You'll be prompted to press the power button 3 times to wipe the device. Then It'll boot into TWRP without wiping.

That'd be it!
P.S.
It works! All you need is a little bit of practice.
You can also use an app called Rebooter. Works well.
When entering recovery with hardware keys I have read people having problem with twrp installed. Is it completly safe now?
It works if you are on the latest version.

Hi everyone. A friend of mine has got a problem with his G2:
I have an LG G2 D802 with rayglob flex 3.5 custom rom. Yesterday I tried to install a custom kernel (dorminax 2.1):
1) I downloaded the kernel for lg g2 802
2) entered in twrp recovery
3) Instal - Flash of kernel 2.1
4) after a few seconds a "Succesfull" message appeared
5) I rebooted
6) phone got stuck with: Fastboot Mode started
udc_started()
at the top left corner

He said that he can't enter the recovery anymore by pressing volume down + power, it doesn't work.
Have you guys any tips? He'd like to recover his data as well...
I guess u installed the wrong version of Dorimanx, download the correct version

How to flash it if the device doesn't boot even in recovery?
It'll boot into recovery, just hold and press power and vol down key and reboot.

I'll tell him to keep trying, maybe i'ts just a timing issue. Thanks.
So, the suggestion is... boot into recovery, then...? Wipe everything and restore the backup (if there's one)?
Well he can push the correct kernel via adb and flash it

He's not too used to this kinda things (me neither). How can this be done?
It's easy, well Google it, u will find videos explaining the same

there is a thread to make your phone "back to stock", then you will be fine.

Thanks everyone! He successfully entered into recovery (just wrong timing I guess) and flashed the right kernel (located on an usb pen drive attached with otg cable).
He thank you very much.

My phone has done the same thing an when I hit the buttons to go to recovery mode, recovery mode just flashes up an it goes back to the fastboot screen again
I was having the same issue... Until I noticed that it was the power cable that was messing with my attempts to enter recovery!
So here I leave my tip! Do the power button combination without any connection! :good:

Were you able to successfully get in recovery mode? I try to combo multiple times and it still goes straight to fastboot mode

Can you enter download mode? If not you should also use fastboot to flash your partitions.

is your problem solved yet?
I have just flashed the wrong kernel due to my carelessness and complacency and managed to fix this issue thanks to this thread!
Make sure no power cables are plugged in as it will interfere the process to boot into recovery mode.
Hold power button down until the phone is completely off, keep holding it there for another 10 seconds.
Hold volume down and power button together now until LG screen comes out. let go of power button only
If all goes well you should see TWRP recovery and thank TWRP team for their great work!
There's a Dorimanx app in the store so this doesn't happen.
flashed the right kernel (located on an usb pen drive attached with otg cable) sorry how to do it ? any link ? thanks

I made a mistake some wheres while formatting the phone in recovery mode. I used Advanced format instead of Factory Reset. So, now when I reboot the phone it's gets stuck at the LG logo screen and the led flashes different colors. I can't get back into recovery mode (hold both volume keys and power then let go and then do the same thing). How can I fix my phone? I can get into Download Mode though. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I have a Rogers LG G2.
To boot into recovery hold power and volume down button. Not both volume buttons... once the splash screen appears let them go and immediately hold them again... then at the factory reset screen hit power 3 times and you should enter your recovery.

If you've wiped your virtual sd in the advanced wipe menu you're a little more screwed and will have to side load a Rom...

awesome, 1 step closer! Now is there a way to get my rom transfered to the internal storage? ADB can't seem to see my phone.
Is there any ways of transfering a rom to the phone while in recovery mode?
So, in recovery mode. WIndows will detect my phone as "g2" in device manager but it has a exclamation mark. What drivers would i need for this? Can anyone help?
1. please visit this site " http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver "
2. Install it.
3. Go to Device Manager on the LG D802 search for the folder where you install the universal drivers.
4. This will make your LG to be recognize as Samsung (who cares as long as it works).
4a. Go to the SDK folder > Platform-tool ( https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk , for the SDK )
4b. Copy and paste the ROM zip that you want to flash (in this case mine will be CM)
5. Hold Shift and right click the mouse when you are still on the platform-tool folder , Run the command prompt.
6. In the Command Prompt
6a. enter adb devices ( this will now recognized your phone in recovery mode )
6b. enter adb sideload xxx.zip
7. NOW YOUR PHONE IS BACK ON TRACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that you're saying it won't enter recovery mode, but are you sure you're doing it correctly? *Power off, wait a sec, press power until LG logo, let go and immediately after the LG logo, when it goes black, hold volume down and power*

after the LG logo, the "Team Bliss" logo appears immediately. even if i hold volume down + power, the phone will eventually reboot and get back to the LG logo
Try this - Hold power and volume up, as soon as LG logo appears, let go of them both, press and hold them both again. You will be in recovery. Then do the full format. Did you install the correct bootstack before flashing your blisspop ROM? That could be the issue.

Read their 2nd post and download the appropriate bootstack. Once in recovery, format everything, flash twrp 2.8.7.1 with thermal f2fs, flash bootstack, flash rom, flash gapps. reboot system. done!
How to Enter Recovery Mode on LG G2 (quick easy steps)
Press the Volume Down and the Power Button at the same time, about 2-3 seconds until the LG Logo shows.
When the LG Logo shows, release the buttons and then press and hold them again.
Keep pressing the buttons until the Recovery Mode Menu displays.
