If its like Optimus G, then you need to have a USB cable connected while holding Power + Volume Up. This should get you into Download Mode.

So here is a new one for you guys. I need to get into download mode however, the only problem is that my power up button doesnt work.
I tried the advance reboot from CM mod but it just boots right back into android. Any suggestions?
I'm on CM 10.2 D800

you tried it with holding down the power up and plugging in your usb cable? I believe this is one way and the other way is to hold power up and the power button, and when the lg symbol appears you release both momentarily and then press them again or something like that... play around with that or just one (i.e. holding down both until lg symbol appears and then releasing the power buton but keep on holding down power up)
To enter the bootloader: with the phone off hold volume down and press power. Use the volume rocker to scroll through the options
To enter Recovery: Once in the bootloader screen use the volume rocker to bring up the Recovery Mode option and press the power button. This gets you to the dead Andy with the red triangle. Now press volume up and you should have the stock Android recovery.
I'm guessing the bootloader is locked? :X

Once at dead Andy, I (at least) had to press power and vol up to get to stock recovery. Vol up alone did nothing.

This has been happening to me too. Vol up and Andy just lays there, red triangle in hand, laughing at me.
EDIT: Nevermind............ I was missing the point. All good now.
Weird. I'm not able to get past the dead android.
I get into the bootloader fine, can select Recovery Mode, phone reboots and I get the dead Andy with "No command".
Tried pushing vol up... nothing. Tried pushing power and vol up... nothing.
I'm just trying to wipe the cache partition... which I've done before... but can't get past the dead guy.

in the dead andy screen press vol up + power for 4 seconds. if nothing happens try again, is a little tricky.
I have found that mine seems to work better if I hold the vol up for a second BEFORE I press power. Hold vol for a second then continue to hold it while you push power and let both go. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks guys, I'm in.
Man... that's a fine line between holding the buttons long enough to get into recovery, and holding them too long so as to shut your phone off!
X_man, that trick of holding vol up first before pressing power did actually seem to make it easier.

No prob. Glad to help. I myself actually restarted a couple times by accident before I figured out you can hold the vol first. lol
You should only need to tap power while holding the volume Up button.
1. At the bootloader screen, select Recovery mode.
2. Wait for the dead Andy.
3. Press and hold volume Up.
4. Tap power and release (still pressing volume Up).
5. Recovery should show in a second or less.
€DIT: deleted, here was crap
Correction!

@Moondroid, I tried what you suggested many times, but to no avail. Finally I figured out that you had steps 3 and 4 in the wrong order! So for anyone that's still trying to figure this out, press and hold power button, then tap volume up button and release .

Hello, for some reason my phone got stuck in the bootloader exception. I know I could potentially fix this through odin but I have quite the problem. I use a chromebook! Also Odin is a windows app so I was wondering if there are any other options for me to try to fix my phone?
trying to get into recovery mode/download mode fails as well. Only thing I could do is turn it off briefly (volume down + menu + power) then it goes back into bootloader.
Cant send it in back cause I bought it from a different country. (will visit that country soon but I need to get this phone working for travel/communication purposes)
Are you sure you can't get into Download mode?
I had this problem and it was hard to fix, but after holding -Vol, Home, and Power, after about 8 reboots it worked and I fixed it with odin.
Hold, keep holding these buttons until Download Mode appears.

Power/home/volume up is the combination for recovery, not download. Try again with volume down.

edit: do i have to plug in my phone first with odin? or it should go to download mode without odin yet?
Hello there,
got the final android oreo update today on my TA-1021 (Germany).
Now i cant acces the recovery anymore!?!
At Android Nougat it was:
1. connect to charger
2. press and hold volume down and power button.
3. then release power button and keep pressing volume down.
4. now i'm into recovery
Now i stuck into dowload mode with this method.
Is there a way without using adb?
Thanks a lot.
Edit:
Did it now through adb.
Maybe there will be a solution in the future.

Power off your device
Connect your device to charger
When you see battery charging animation
Press and hold volume up and power key together
Release power key only not volume up key when you see android logo
After few seconds you will be booted to recovery but wil no command user interface
Dont panic
Hit volume up+power key+home button(fingerprint senser) together for once
You will get the recovery
Tip: dont use any sideloaded into recovery, this will brick your device
Nokia doesn't support sideloaded process
Hit thanks button if you find this useful
Happy flashing
Thank you very very much!!! This method works perfectly!
Thank you! The method also works for me.
Thanks it worked for Nokia 6 TA-1033 !

Hi all
Phone has been a laggy mess since updating to 8.1.0 so am trying to wipe cache partition in recovery. Managed to get into it once on previous update but cannot get into it now. Have got as far as powering up with Charing cable plugged in and holding power button, volume + and home button and getting to the dead android with 'No Command'. Have tried different solutions to get to recovery from here such as:
pushing vol +
Pushing vol + and power
Pushing vol +, home and power
Nothing works. Am I missing something? Honestly this phone has been a constant let down from the word go and this is starting to get to me.
Cheers
When "No command" appear,Press Volume UP & Power simultaneously, then release Volume UP button to get into recovery menu,you should made it,its easy.

Thanks for the reply. Tried it and nothing. How long to hold them together before releasing vol up button?
Thanks
[EDIT] Got into it finally, can't have been holding the button combo long enough. Thanks @Marius.Petran
