[Q]How do I get this beast into recovery mode? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get this phone into Recovery mode so I can flash from TWRP?
I've been searching, but haven't found anything.

TWRP Manager, Goo Manager, ROM Toolbox, Quickboot, and Reboot have all worked for me.

From original android Dev thread.
press and hold Power and Vol- until see the LG logo, after you see the logo release buttons for 1 second then press and hold Power and Vol- again until you see the factory reset screen, just push power to confirm reset, it will prompt you twice, just continue and this will boot you into recovery.

adb reboot recovery
Last I knew users were being warned against using hardware key combos to enter recovery. Did something change recently?

Thanks everyone. I know it was a dumb question. I was able to get in. Goo did it for me, but thanks to your response, I have learned of other ways to do it.

If your LG2 does not boot, how do you get to recovery (this is presuming TWRP has already been installed), since you cannot get to those apps?

Thanks for pointing me there, tdevaughn.

That's awesome, except on this G2 it's power & volume -, wait, then release volume - and press volume +. Othertimes it's as described here. Other times neither method works. Always takes 15 minutes. Got there once by starting up by pressing volume - and power.. Saw the LG logo then volume + and power.. I have a tripolar g2

[Recovery]CWM for Samsung Galaxy SIII mini - official

Few days ago an official CWM recovery was made from the ClokworkMod team for our device. Here you can find the link for the site to download or you can download the ROM Manager app from the play store. It's version 6.0.2.7 and it is the latest version.
It's official so don't ask if it work, cos it works.
ClockworkMod website link

This has nothing to do with me, it's not my work, i'm just sharing the info!

Find a backup of original recovery.img for i8190 and put it on your external sd.
Use Terminal emulator with "dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21" command, and it will be written to your recovery partition.
What different between CWM recovery and original recovery?
Is both support three key combo reboot? Volume up + home + power when phone starting..... or how?
Which is better for usage?

Cwm recovery allows you to flash .zip files not signed by samsung. And it also has some othet function wich the stock recovery doesnt have.

You can't reset it not yet.
Why did you even flash it with Odin? You should've asked me to make a flashable zip with stock recovery, like the ones you saw in other CWM topics.
But most importantly, why did you reflash stock recovery in the first place?
I`m not able to access CWM recovery mode by holding down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds . The phone show me a black screen and reboot again , if try again to enter recovery mode I face same reboot , if no key are pressed is just booting normally . Strange is that TWRP recovery is working perfectly with the combination of vol up + menu + power

no recovery mode after cwm and cyano

hello guys, after installing cwm and cyanogen mod does not work in the recovery mode.
how can I fix this?
Never use CWM. It never works. Its basically crap. I've tried it on 3 different phones and it was never able to read the internal storage or SD cards on any of them. Flash TWRP through fast boot.

I installed the twrp through gooManager and nothing has changed.
Can you be a little more specific on your problem? What do you mean nothing changed? The recovery?

in TWRP, the vol up + down aren't supposed to be used. Power button just locks the phone while in TWRP
EDIT: Wait, I'm losing it. Do you mean trying to access the recovery through vol down and power doesn't work? And then if you are in cwm, it doesn't work?

sorry but I do not understand.
I had the Nexus S if I could get into recovery mode with volume up + power buttons, always! both stock rom and with CyanogenMod.
the Nexus 4 worked perfect with stock rom volume down + power but with CyanogenMod + cwm does not work anymore.
ps I can get into recovery mode only with gooManager.

So you still have CWM correct? And you already tried flashing TWRP through gooManger right? If that's not working, you need to fastboot from your computer. BTW it's vol down + power.
Just go to recovery in the cm powermenu. Enable advanced rebooting in developer options. You don`t need buttons to get in recovery.

Power down the phone, press volume down and power button and you get into bootloader mode, scroll down with the volume button and select recovery and press power button and you should be in CWM or TWRP. If you are not you need to reflash a custom recovery in fastbootmode. Flashing CM does not affect recovery, bootloader and radio.

This is an OPINION from personal experience, NOT a fact as you presented it in the first post. Don't spew out BS without any valid justification. There's a reason most people use CWM and it's fine for everyone else, you're in the minority here by a long shot. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for anyone else.

Try turning off the phone and charge it fully, then try again. Volume down and power button to get in bootloader mode, if you succeed reflash a stock rom, reroot and reflash a custom recovery (if you want/need that). Good luck

Honestly, all I do is hold volume down while booting to enter bootloader. Works every time. Not sure what is going on with you. Try rebooting. As soon as the screen goes black, hold volume down. Keep holding it until you get into the bootloader.

Holding the volume down + power should get you into the boot loader no matter what rom or custom recovery you have installed, whether you have your boot loader locked or unlocked. This it's hard wired into the hardware, and if it does not work you have a hardware problem, not a problem with rom or recovery. Flash stock Rom and stock recovery, and the then RMA the phone.

If TWRP is an option for you you can install it using the GooManager app, install the GooManager app, open it press the menu button go to install openrecoveryscript it'll say this will download and write a recovery image to your device. Press Yes.
It then asks you if you want to install openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-find5.img, this is the latest version made by Kamma and Dees_Troy I believe.
This should help you out.

Alright There is an issue with a find 5 that i tried to trouble shoot. The owner of this find 5 is able to boot into fastboot but not into recovery. No matter how many times I tried to flash recovery, it always did but the phone refused to enter recovery. First, it doesnt even start without a power source. whether it be a connection to the computer or power outlet, it needs as a power source, and when it doesn, holding the volume down + power it goes from the oppo screen to a black screen. Anyone have any idea? I even flashed the rom though fastboot (which i didnt know could be done but apparently it can) and it still didnt turn on and still had the same issues

How to enter recovery...

What are the button combinations to enter recovery on this phone? I have googled and looked in other threads, but it apparently is just assumed everyone knows this.
Thanks in advance

If you are rooted, Titanium Backup, Goo Manager, Power Reboot...These are all applications in the Play Store. As far as using the buttons, I am sure they have worked out the issues using the hardware buttons, but I don't do it that way. Hope this helped!!
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.

what I need and meant by recovery mode is where i can format the rom and restore the factory setting when i fail to log in the operating system ( usually was VOLUME DOWN AND POWER BUTTON to get it ) but this method is not working here.

i also am able to get into download mode. but i cant find the drivers and they wont auto install
