When you're at the screen with the android laying on its back, while holding volume up press the power button. It should bring you to the actual recovery screen.

my phones dutch, so it says "geen opdracht" below the android laying on its back, meaning "no assignment" roughly translated, any ideas?
That's what happens when you try what I said? Or that's just what the initial screen says.

these are the steps i do
- phone's off
- pressing hardware buttons to get into bootloader selection screen
- choosing recovery with volume buttons
- press power to choose recovery
- google logo appears, android laying on its back appears, 2 seconds later, it says "geen opdracht" translated "no assignment" below.
And have you tried holding down the volume up button, and then pressing the power button? That should bring you to the actual recovery menu.

at the the android laying down, hold power and press volume up. in english, the text says 'no command' if i remember correctly.
Have you messed around with your recovery at all? What's your current ROM and kernel? You may have messed up your recovery image somehow.
Also, does that text only show up after pressing volume up and the power button or does it exist already when the picture of the Android shows up?

No, i have not messed arround with my rom or whatever, everything is stock, as it was out of the box.
i choose recovery, i get the android laying on its back with below it "no command" written, pressing volume up and power button doesnt do anything, except reset after holding it for periods of time.

ok I searched thru all threads, im trying to create a backup with clockwork. I have rooted with clockworkmod and have no clue how to get to it. I am a noob but have rooted and have flashed FROYO on my EPIC. I do have titanium backup aswell, but lookin for the other backup incase i decide to flash back to stock for the OTA FROYO. THanks, Please STEP BY STEP, Or atleast point me to a thread that tells it cause ive been searchin for a hour now
Hold Down the power,volume up,volume down and camera all at the same time and you are know in clockwork.
Also to navigate in it use the voulume up down and camera to select.
Also you can use the keyboard dpad with the enter button for select.
Another nice button combo is camera,power and volume up i think is a soft reset.
Hope this helps.
that isnt working for some reason, just reboots back to up. I was holding volume rocker, power and camara. do i have to do something before i shut down? or start to reboot when the lights are on after shutting down??

When the phone is on hold:
Power
Camera
Volume up
Volume Down
It will work believe me..
Just keep trying sometimes if you miss a key it will activate the reboot button combo..
If your phone is off: Hold camera power and volume down i think...
The phone has to be powered off. And then you hold volume down button, camera and power button until you are at the green cwm menu.

Holy balls the double volume rocker thing does work. Good thing I tested that before I said he was wrong lol
Im pressing several different variations of Vol - + Power Maybe im doing it wrong?
Volume Down and Power button right? I feel Ignorant here this is the first android device i cant figure out how to get into recovery.
yes i have a proper update.zip on my external sd.
Thanks in advance.
Hold the Volume down key and then press and hold the Power key. Don't let go until you see the recovery screen.
I read to turn off your phone and press reset while holding power.
Hope this helps

Huh? Not even close.. If the OP wants to flash an update.zip, he needs to...
1. With device held horizantally, power button on top left, turn OFF the device.
2. Hold down the Volume - button (left side of the volume rocker)
3. Hold down the power button.
4. KEEP BOTH HELD DOWN until you see the Recovery text in the top left corner. This appears a second or so AFTER the Acer logo does.
5. Do not let go too soon or you won't enter recovery mode.

To be super specific.....
Turn off the tab. Then hold down volume down. Then hold power on as well for about 3 seconds. Let go, you'll see some white text about custom recovery and then you have 5 seconds to hit the volume up key. Once you see the white text you can let go of volume down.
I have had the Nexus 4 for 3 days.
4 hours ago it started rebooting all the time.
Every 5 seconds it was rebooting until I finally could do a factory reset.
The factory reset didn't work in the boot loader because I just got a little android picture with a text under it which said: "No Command"
Now my phone is working again and doesn't reboot anymore but if I try to get into the recovery mode it still shows just the little android logo with the text "No Command"
There isn't a menu to choose a factory reset.

So first I turn off my phone then I hold power + volume down.
Then I scroll down to Recovery Mode en press the power button.
Then I get those little android pic with the No command text and then i can do whatever I want but the menu doesn't appear.

Nevermind I got it!
I was just not Android enough to be that fast. :silly:
Thanks for your fast replies!
Could also someone tell me what that Reboot loop was?
Is that a software or a hardware mistake?
I feel like this is a stupid question, but here we go anyway. I'm on an LS980 with TWRP 2.6.3.4.
I can boot into recovery just fine, as long as I use adb reboot recovery, or any of the methods to do a reboot to recovery from software. For the life of me, I can't get the volume down + power key combination to work. This would be no problem, except I'm stuck in a bootloop (my own fault), and can't get to either the software solution or ADB.
Yes, I've followed the directions in which you hold the two buttons, and when the LG logo appears, release and repress them both. I've done this about a million times now, in every different pattern and length of delay I can think of.
If I hold all 3 during boot, I get the "hardware control" screen, with a barcode and my IMEI at the bottom. Download mode, using volume up + plug in USB, works as well. Both volume keys have been functioning fine for controlling volume in software, so they are mechanically sound.
Is there any reason the keys might not work during boot? Is there any other way to reboot to recovery? My only idea is to push the stock image to the phone in download mode, and re-root, etc.
Thanks in advance!
Start with the phone powered all the way down (if you're bootlooping, hold the power button for maybe ~10s until there's a short buzz from the vibrator and the LG logo pops up, then hold it down for a few more seconds to power off).
Hold power+voldown until the LG logo appears. Release them then immediately push them again, and hold for a few seconds.
You'll get a 'Factory hard reset' screen that tells you to press Power to confirm you want to do a factory reset. Push Power a couple of times to confirm this. If you have a custom recovery installed, it won't erase anything, it'll just boot into recovery.
I just tried this, and it worked the first time.
Antinorm -
I'm familiar with that process, and have been trying it nonstop! Here's a video; maybe you could critique my technique?
You don't have to hold both buttons after the release.
1. Hold VolDn + Power until LG Logo appears.
2. Release both buttons for a few seconds
3. Hold only Power Btn
4. You get into Hard Reset
5. Push Power Btn 2 times (For executing reset)
After that the phone will boot into recovery.
Don't do this with plugged in USB cable I don't know why, but it doesn't work if you have a usb connection.
Nope, no luck using just the power button for the second press. Thank you, though! I'll write some more detail of what I see.
Initial state: the boot animation is looping.
I press and hold the power button.
The screen goes blank. I continue to hold the power button.
The LG logo reappears for a moment. If I were to release the power button before this point, the phone would restart.
I do not release the power button; I continue to hold it. The screen goes blank.
I now release the power button. This is the phone in its "off" state. If I plug it in to a power source, a battery charge icon and a percentage is displayed center-screen. Entering download mode from this state works. The phone is not plugged in.
I hold the power and VD buttons together. I've also tried pushing one first, then the other, in either combination.
The LG splash displays.
I release both buttons.
I wait an amount of time. I have tried various values from "as quick as I can move my fingers" to "a solid three-count".
I hold either both buttons (pressing them simultaneously), or just power, and wait.
Time passes.
GOTO 1
Does any of that sound wrong?
Weird. This method works for me. But getting into recovery was a bit of a hassle for me too at the beginning. Your doing seems to be ok... well seems like your only chance is adb right now.

Do you know of any way to ADB without an OS booted or recovery? I don't!
IF your battery is low or almost gone - you can't enter in Recovery with those 2 buttons.
So just charge your battery. I'm using CWM 6.0.4.4 and phone charges battery in this mode. It's slowly, but at the end my battery was 100%.
Now I can go to Recovery with 2 button combo. No download mode for me, but I'll open a new topic for that.

Whelp, sorry. Would have thought you can adb while in download mode. Turns out you can't.
Well i don't have a better idea than you with going stock and start from the beginning.
