Hi guys,
My Mrs. Orange SanFran has all of a sudden decided it doesnt want it's screen touched anymore. All the hard buttons are working and can not see any other issues. Seems there are several people who have experienced it but it seems to resolved itselfon a restart but her's isn't, no matter how long I take the battery out or pressing the reset under the battery cover I can't use the screen making it useless.
Any ideas? I stuck a custom Rom of 2.2 on it when first got it but can't remeber which one, maybe modaco Kitchen R12 Rom.
Cheers
Reboot to recovery, Wipe both Dalvik and normal cache, and restart. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset / wipe data, and restart. If that doesn't help re-install the rom.
Thanks for the tip, but I tried to enter recovery by holding down volume key when powering up but a screen breifly loaded that had the small text "android" written upsidedown but then just goes on loop of the screen and the standard screen, can't do anything.
Holding up volume whilst powering on doesn;t do anything and because I can't use the touch screen I can't access any recovery apps through the phone OS.
It's weird cause I've used to recovery mode on phone boot before as first ROM didn't work, so I know the recovery module worked before, no idea why not now. :-s
Could be either bad flash/root or faulty hw. Google "de-bricking a ZTE Blade".
Thanks again. Came across a very thorough article on modaco but unfortunately the phone won't do anything than a normal startup when holding the up volume or up and menu, so can't try any of the suggestions.
The volume buttons do work though as moved the volume in the OS
Just to be sure: you did first press & hold the volume down button, and then press & hold the power button? You have to hold them both down until the recovery menu pops up. I can take even 10 seconds or more.
If everything fails, try TPT flash. It should solve if there is no hardware issue.
Just wanted to know if anything is possible to fix my phone. I was running Gravitron Rom and wanted to try slimbean. I flashed slimbean in cwm everything seemed fine when i went to reboot all it does is stay black, no images and vibrate every few seconds. I have already try to flash to stock by using odin and recieved a successful light from odin but when it goes to reboot itself it still does the same thing black and vibrates every few seconds. I can get into download mode but can not get into stock recovery mode. I have been reading for hours now and can not find a post similar to my problem could someone point in the right direction? Thanks
Try pulling the battery for a minute, replace it and immediately press the recovery combo (vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner of the screen.) see if that gets you in.

Thanks will try right now, but if that doesn't work I have tried the Kies trick also. But when i go to enter my model number it keeps prompting me to read model name and enter it can you please point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this post is redundant, but the methods I've seen haven't worked, so I can't be alone. Here is how to boot into TWRP if your phone is boot looping/soft bricked. (info pulled from here, of all places.)
1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.
Hope this helps someone besides currently frustrated me.
I LOVE YOU! I honestly didn't think this would work but it does and i'm so happy.
just about to make a thread asking how to do this. Glad I searched. way to make you jump through hoops tho.
thanks for this. for me the phone didnt even have to be completely powered off.
i wa sin a sleep of death so i held down power and vol down until lg logo appeared let go and then pressed power again. pressed power 3 more times and it booted into recovery

Awesome. Didn't know this!
Thanks
@jadengore : I was stick in a bootloop, and your thread helps me a lot !
Big thanks !
:good:
Also, if you're too scared to try that, I've had success using rom toolbox to reboot into recovery. Of course this is assuming you have a working system.
Thanks very much, but...
Hello,
I unfortunately dropped my VS980, cracked the screen, and the digitizer only works on the bottom portion of the screen. I have a new screen coming, which should fix this issue, however I would like to get my data off my phone (pics), but I can't as I have a password (draw a line/shape kind) and without being able to enter this in, it will not connect to my PC as mass storage.
I was hoping to be able to boot into recovery with hardware buttons and get my data that way, not sure if that is possible either, but at least try it. This I found to work to get me to the factory hard reset screen, but I am skeptical to push the power button and have it wipe my data!
I am open to other options to get to my data if anyone has any, including android device manager which is something I have thought of, but not sure if I can reset the security to nothing, or maybe as the bottom portion of my digitizer seems to work, I can enter in a space or a period for a password and enter that in.
Looking for any guidance!
Thanks!
Got it!
Redid the password with android device manager, which got me in, but I didn't even need to do that as I had the brainwave to plug a mouse in with a usb adapter. Works flawlessly, got my data, now just waiting for replacement screen!
Strange Problem
I am using F-320K[G2], Cloudy G3 Rom, when I hit boot into recovery it does bring me to TWRP but hardware buttons doesn't work. It just restarts the phone.
Vol down+Power till LG logo up, release and press and hold again and after few secs it restartsand came back to LG screen. If I continue to held it it just repeat restating.
hardware keys to enter recovery. voldown+power then volup+power

steps to enter recovery that worked for my Sprint LG G2 on ZVC firmware.
1) hold power and volume down button till you see LG logo -- quickly release these buttons and
2) immediately hold power and volume up buttons to enter into factory reset menu.
Then 3 presses of power key to confirm wipe and enter TWRP recovery. :good:
I was going mad trying to enter recovery for an hour. It appears like different models/software versions have different key combinations for entering recovery mode.
My phone was stuck at lg logo screen and i didnt have nandroid backup of the phone. so couldn't try the TOT restore method too as i waned my phone data.
Another way to get to Custom Recovery

The way that let me get into custom recovery is different.
I hold 'vol up+power+vol down' to start from turned off state and keep holding it[Don't leave just keep holding the 3 buttons]. It doesn't show factory reset screen, it get me into TWRP[Custom Rom] directly. I heard 3 buttons gets u in safe mode IDK but I got into proper working TWRP.

I have a F320S.
Hold Volume up and press the Power Button,when comes Lg Logo release the Power Button and start the TWRP
if anybody's looking for the information in this thread like i was, and the posted method doesn't work (it did not for me):
1. Power off
2. Hold volume down and power
3a. release both at logo AND press BOTH at logo right after releasing
4a. Enter recovery
You should enter recovery, but if not...
3b. Keep the buttons pressed (your phone might continue into the start animation, but if you keep the buttons press it will return)
4b. The first logo will appear. Release both and press BOTH
5. Enter recovery
hope this helps someone

this worked omg...thanks a million...
Just wanted to contribute here in case anyone else had tried everything listed in this thread and still was unable to boot into TWRP.
I'm on Sprint, stock, rooted ZVE, and I have TWRP 2.7.
1. Power off phone, wait a few seconds to make sure phone is completely off.
2. Hold power and volume down.
3. As soon as LG logo appears, KEEP holding down power... BUT release volume down and SWITCH to holding volume up.
4. After a few seconds, screen appears saying "Recovery mode" and TWRP opens up after that.
How do I do this? The phone is stuck at the boot animation and i just cannot get it to do anything else, no button combo seems to work, i casnt even get it to power down properly. Never had this much trouble with a phone before.
Hi,
Power OFF your phone then:
HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to CWM (without actually resetting).

Thank You, what a fiddly process!! Now restoring from backup.
^obviously doesn't understand that you cannot power your phone down properly..
Lg is a little tricky.. But.. In order to hard power down, you must hold the power button until you see the phone power off, but don't let go or it will reboot. Keep holding the power button until you see the lg logo and it will then power down completely.
To get to recovery, hold vol down+power until you see the recovery mode loading. You will see the lg splash screen first but just keeping holding the buttons.. No need to let go and then try pressing them again as the post above me stated...

Are you sure it doesn't actually reset? I'm curious ... because Ive got TWRP and just to avoid that I always reboot into recovery from the rom ... and I've just been scared whenever I see that white screen
Hi all,
Got this phone last week. It's been really laggy and basically unusable, it even lags when receiving calls and I miss half of them from being unable to answer. I was advised to wipe the cache partition, but the recovery menu is in Chinese. I got in touch with Motorola support who first tried to get me to delete all my data in the Chinese recovery menu, then gave me instructions to wipe the partition in English which I can't follow because the menu is in Chinese, and then said they couldn't help further. I can't find any other examples of Motorola phones with a Chinese recovery menu online.
Really not sure what to do!
Thanks for reading.
When I pressed power+volume down, phone booted into some Chinese screen, but it was not recovery, it was I think a testing menu. You might have pressed the same buttons. To boot to recovery, press power+volume up, this will launch a menu, keep pressing volume up to select recovery, then press volume down to launch recovery, after launching recovery you'll see no command screen, there you should hold power button and press volume up, this will launch recovery. Hope it helps.
That worked, thank you! Motorola were less than useless. Much appreciated.
In case it helps anyone, I fixed the lagging today by installing a new version of google play services, which I found by googling. Made everything better.
Please confirm which version of Google Play services you installed as I have the same problem.

You have to hold Power button and tap volume up. Don't press both buttons simultaneously, hold Power, while holding Power tap volume up. If it does not work, then a system update might have changed the process (though highly unlikely I think).

Stock images for e3 Power are available somewhere in the forum. Try flashing stock images. By the way there is no need to format userdata while flashing recovery.
Okay i managed to figure it out spent 5 houres or so had to use SP_Flash_TooL and some USB VCOM drivers for phone this can only be used on MTK chips.
trust me i just saw this post every google search is saying stuff about pressing volume down like it works XDA developers are life and life savers been using this since like 8 years ago and it still going strong had to leave my first comment
My huawei y511-u30 mobile is showing chineese in recovery mode and its not working also. As i want to flash my rom unable to get device detected by pc also
