Hi guys! I have a problem. Today I was trying to install cyanogenmod on my friend's lg l5. He said me he has just rooted and locked BL on that phone but he hadn't already the CWM. So I searched guides to install it and I found that I could install it through ROM Manager. I have installed this app and then installed recovery. That app said me that the process had been fine. So I restart to enter recovery mode by pressing volume - anf power and then the central button but it didn't work. The phone restarted normally but it was hardly resetted? Why is happened?? I can't enter in recovery mode, I need help please
PS Sorry for my bad english

Sorry if I do not understand what you said
The phone running on, do you pressed de volume- anf power and the home button?
If yes, you do wrong.
The correctly mode is press the same buttons, with the phone off, as you were turning on the phone.
Sorry for my bad english too

The first time I used the function "restart in recovery mode" of ROM Manager but it didn't work. The second time I turned off my phone and then pressed the buttons but didn't work yet
try vol + and power button, it will go in CWM
vol - & power = hard reset
vol + & power = cwm
vol +&- & usb cable = download mode
Thank you! I'll try tomorrow

Hi there,
sooo, i have this really annoying problem with my samsung galaxy s plus. Home button just doesnt work I have to put it on varanty, but i have rooted it and i have installed CM9 by acro with his version of CWM. and there where problem start. Home button is used to "accept" on CWM and i cant restore it to stock rom i can just move around with vol + and -. is there any other option, like connet to pc or whatever else?
Have you tried the power button instead of the home button? This works on my i9000.
You can flash using Odin.
Yes i tried power button, just dont select by this one :<
@dark_knight35 flash what? offical rom? but thers something wrong with download mode. first of all i need to use combination which contains home button second when i use option "restart" in cm9 there is possibility to enter download mode, buuuuuuut when i do i see icon of download mode for few seconds and then its turning off :<
EDIT: i found similar problem guy has with sgs and custon ICS he just went back and reset to factory settings. I tried and guess what, now i cant even enter recovery mode.... -.- everything besides home button, recovery and download mode however is working
AFAIK you can use ADB to get into DL mode, but I'm not sure.
woah, hold ur horses.. less acronims please i didnt get anything from post u just wrote.
EDIT: well now my phone is totally bricked, and i see only black screen of death :< but i found this broodplank.net/old/flashsamsungi9001.php and i try to repair it. strange but i can access download mode by pressing home but+ vol up +power so home works........

xD it works again. You just had bad luck and the flash of your last ROM broke it.
To install a zip do this from terminal emulator:
echo "boot-recovery" > /cache/recovery/command
Then...
echo "--update_package=/path/to/zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
This will automatically install, just like ROM manager would.

soooo i finally unbricked my phone, by crashing cm9 completly then flashing fearecoverymod and then by restoring from my backup and voila i have my stock rom back home button worked back at the morning but now is dead again so i unrooted my phone and i'm going to put it on varanty. thx for ur input mates. :highfive:
Hello my home key is defective and i can't enter on the Recovery Menu by the key combinaison.
I search to enter to the Recovery Menu (or CWM) by changing the key combinaison.
Anyone know how to do that? thank you
Up ?
Download and install QuickBoot from Google Play Store. With this app you can reboot in recovery mode.
Thank you but I just want to change the combinaison ^^
Am not sure about changing key combination,how about remapping the keys? The one sure way is the terminal emulator- reboot recovery cmd
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda app-developers app
download the noob-proof CWM recovery, it contain's a "Reboot2Recovey"
you need to have usb debbug enabled for this to work
Reboot on the recovery if my phone isn't brick isn't the problem, but if i brick my phone, i can't boot on the recovery because my home key is dead.. And that the problem :/

Good morning!
I had the same problem. Every googled key-combination failed with my phone. I couldn't start CWM.
Finally i found something that helped me:
Try this:
Shut down your Phone
Press Power AND VOL+ AND VOL- AND Menu
When the LG logo dissapears release Power
Keep pressing the keys until the CWM-menu comes up.
I don't know, why my phone is totally different to all the others.
LG, Macmol

Try turning off the phone, pull the battery for a minute and try again. Or insert a Jig after a minute if you have one that is.

Every Samsung android phone has download mode, what S4 model do you have? Turn off the phone, press volume down and then power, hold for about 3-5 seconds and you feel a vibration and you`re in downloadmode.
Eeeer you need to hold volume down+HOME+power

The only other reason an S4 didn't go to download mode was because it was a clone... Are you sure yours is the real deal?

Is your S4 rooted?
If so, you can try download ROM Manager and I think they have download mode together with boot and recovery.

Be sure to turn of the phone completly by holding the power button untill it starts to reboot. You will see the lg logo for a short while. After that do the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. This will take you to the recovery and let you restor your backup if you have made one.
Hope this will help you.
I ran into this same problem not too long ago. The best way to get your phone back working is trying to get into download mode and reflashing pure stock.
Just hold down the power button, even when it tries to boot up. Keep holding after the second vibration where it tries to boot up again. Then, if the screen stays black, your phone is fully off.
Then follow the instructions on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I had the exact problem and I installed LGMobile Support Tool. It will flash stock recovery + stock system. Once the program complete you'll need to hold the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. Then will start up CWM recovery and will return you to stock.

Hmm i did the button procedure, and took me to twrp i installed recovery but now it says i only have 11gb of internal storage, compared to 19 i had before. I saw that people who used the lg launcher to install recovery to their phone in download mode had the same issue. Have you expereinced this? Does it really mean i only have 11gb? Mine was the 32gb version

Most likely your phone has the D80010o firmware, downgrade to D80010d and you shouldn't have that issue you've described in the OP.
When downgrading, follow the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Use vol - and vol + simultaneously and plug into PC..
It should hopefully go into download mode!
As for recovery, try brute force (different combinations with volume, home, back, menu and power keys)

Hold vol up and down at the same time then hold powee as soon as the lg logo shows up let go of power and keep holding vol up and down and quickly press menu. It will get you to recovery.
If that wont work then remove battery and then hold up and down and as soon as the lg logo apears hold menu.
Try it a few times it will work.
