[Q] How to reboot into recovery?

If you get stuck in a boot loop, is it really the only way, is to hook the n7 up to a pc? It's not exactly like you can pull the battery....

long pressing(10-20 seconds) the power button will reboot the device. if you also press and hold the volume down button when it reboots, it'll take you into the bootloader. from the bootloader, press the recovery option.

After I hit the last step (press the recovery option), I get stuck on the black and white Google screen. What do you think I need to do?

update your bootloader. you should be able to get into your recovery with the recovery option if you connect your device via usb to your computer.

I tried connecting the device to my computer via USB before selecting recovery. When I do that, volume up/down and power do nothing! So I have to reboot by holding power again. What do you think now?
I didn't realize I had to update the bootloader I was in the process of updating my ROM from SmoothROM 4.1.2 to Modaco 4.2 and it did not flash properly. So at this point, I cannot boot up. I'm stuck here.

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.

Flash back to stock is the only solution. Been there done that. After you get rooted and newest twrp you won't have to worry again going forward.

If you have the Verizon version, do this:

If you have any other version (AT&T, ect), do this:

thank you so much for your fast reply.
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.

[Q] Bricked Verizon G2

I made the mistake of wiping TWRP from my phone. I did a factory reset when I booted into TWRP. I tried installing the camera app mod. I am on 4.4.2. I am currently stuck on the LG screen and the phone will not power down. I cannot boot into download mode or recovery. I have tried to research as much as I can from other threads and I cannot find any that match my issue. Do I need JTAG service to fix this?

While my phone is stuck on the LG screen (the phone will not power down) I hold the power button until it powers down, and it automatically reboots. When it reboots I hold the power button and the volume down button when the LG screen reappears and it just reboots again. Thanks for the quick reply. -Josh

yes, flashing stock kdz brings stock recovery back.
The new combination is, hold power + volume down until you see the lg logo, release shortly, then hold volume up and volume down(this will perform a factory reset).
Try connecting to a pc, turn on debuging mode. Download adb, type adb reboot recovery
or terminal emulator from play store --also reboot recovery

Hi thanks for the help the new combination is still not working do i have to get the timing perfect or what?

Well. Is it the new 20b and 20d? Power off the phone. Hold vol down and power until the lg logo, release just for a short moment and then hold just volume up and volume down.

Thankyou soooo much adb worked and i got to the recovery and did a factory reset and cache reset from there. Is this the same as the button combination reset or are the two resets different? and i did data wipe reset first then cache reset is that right?
Again thankyou so much for your help i really appreciate it.:good:
One last question how do i wipe dalvik cache without root and custom recovery?

It's the same. They changed the combination since 20b(new 20b)

You can't. You can do a factory reset from settings or manually per APP clear caches.

So far so good. Backup not needed.

ROOT still shows up in download mode
I followed the very same procedure to return my phone to stock firmware, but when i enter download mode, it still shows up as "ROOT" in red in the bottom. And i'm unable to enter stock recovery or even the hard reset menu(the one where power button needs to be pressed thrice to reset).
PLEASE HELP ! I hope there is nothing seriously wrong with the device:crying:

H918 Issue...

So a Tmobile update came on my phone and I decided to click update for some stupid reason... Its early.
I was stock rooted with TWRP installed.
After clicking that it rebooted and went into TWRP recovery. Whether I reboot or turn off and manually go into recovery I can't get it to reboot normally whatsoever.
I tried to flash WETA rom and everything went properly with the install but affter the reboot I am still left with TWRP.
Any suggestions on how to get my phone working again. I am downloading the 10i KDZ file now but was hoping there was another answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Power off or pull battery for a sec.
Hold vol down and power button - as soon as you see LG logo - release and immediately re-press power button only while continuing to hold vol down.
Factory reset screen will come up if you did it right. Use vol down to select YES twice to factory reset. ( It won't really reset anything but the recovery boot trigger ).
You'll end up in twrp. Just select reboot system and profit
