so i installed CWM on my verizon G2. I went into recovery and wiped data. When it was formatting cache, it looked like it froze because it was taking forever. So i held the power button down so that i can reboot it. Now whenever i try to boot it back up, it stays on the LG screen for a couple minutes and stays on the ground zero roms boot up screen. Is there a way to get into recovery from boot? I've flashed many ROM's on many phone but i need help please so i can get my phone back up and running. Thank you

Turn phone off
Hold power and volume down until lg logo comes on then release and hold power and volume down again until you get into recovery.

That doesn't work for me. I keep getting the factory hard reset screen.
I've flashed things in recovery but I'm always gotten into it from a booted Rom

Yes. You will get the factory screen. Do it. Press the power button twice. Trust me it will boot into cwm.
This is twrp but watch this video I made if you have doubt's. If you properly installed cwm which you probably did considering you wiped your data. This will work.

I was messing around with my phone getting trying to get the annoying "insufficient storage available" notification to go away, I was able to by going into the internal files then deleting the app data.
I rebooted my phone and now I'm stuck at the yellow sprint logo. I went to recovery mode did a factory reset then tried to wipe cashe and a dead android appears with a red exclamation point. Then it reboots and goes back to the yellow logo and freezes there.
Help!! I don't have a computer at the moment, and no clue what to do!

I won't have access to a computer for a couple weeks. Do you know how sprint would handle this issue? I don't have insurance but I just got the phone a month ago.
If you can get into stock recovery mode - Power+Home Button+Volume Up. Try a 'factory reset'.
If that doesn't work you can always take it in and say you what every you feel is okay (phone stopped booting or whatever) and see what they say.

Can you go to a friend's place? Library? Work? Somewhere with a computer? If you have the file to go back to stock you should have your phone back no more than 10 mins max.

You won't be able to do anything. Make sure to always keep a stable rom backed up so that in cases like these, you can at least use your phone.
Thanks. Everyone for the advice I will have to do that next time, I took it to sprint and they wanted $100 to fix it!! Heck no when I can do it myself. The lady said it was a software malfunction hehe if only she knew I had been hacking away lol
So I am going to do it myself, I'll just need to flash stock mf9 right??
Sometimes. When I Reboot Into Recovery Mood. To Flash A Rom. The Phone Reboots Then The TWRP Logo Comes On With The Blue Screen. Then It Just Stays There? Doesn't Load Into Recovery. But Sometimes It Does. But It Freeze More On TWPR Logo. And I Have To Bring The Battery Out. Put Back In. And Do It Again Then Goes Into Recovery It Self. Is There Something Wrong With My TWRP Recovery?? Any Ideas

That is a known problem with 2.6.0.0
You need to d/l 2.5.0.2
You can find the link in this forum.
Try this link for using with mobile Odin lite.

This link can be flashed using your version of TWRP.

EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in 2.6.1.0

Thankz man I appreciate it
So how do I flash this?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I don't know why there is a difference but I am using 2.6.0.0 and I experienced the freeze a couple of times. Which you only need to hold the power button until it reboots instead of pulling the battery. Since I started using my Extended Power Menu to boot into recovery that way I have not experienced a hang once. So it must be something with trying to cold boot into recovery, which I almost never do now.

Currently my phones volume rockers do not work. I've been running on an old ROM that seems to be slowing down,requiring me to reboot more frequently. I'd really like to update to a newer ROM, but I'm worried if I have any issues I can't force my phone into recovery with the power button + volume down combo.
I am very close to just doing an insurance claim on this though. I have a crack on the bottom right of my phone too. That way I can hop on the T-Mobile Jump program
Adb reboot recovery
will let you get into recovery without using the volume buttons.
There are also several apps that will let you reboot directly to the recovery if your already rooted
Such as quick boot (reboot)

I think I was more worried about if my ROM install didn't go well and it won't boot all together. Before I could still just go into recovery and re-install. If that happens now? adb recovery?
Hmm. Thinking more. As long as a rom boots you are ok. But if you got stuck at a boot loop before you can use adb, you are screwed

Unfortunately I do not believe there is a way to boot into recovery without the volume buttons unless you are booted into the system. Have you considered restoring to stock and trying for a warranty replacement?
Look above.

DOES DAT APP RUN ON DEVICES STILL ROCKIN 2.3?
Whoops. I skipped that last line when I read through it.
I've researched it and cannot find a answer. Say if you get stuck in a boot loop and want to flash a nandroid backup or something. The only options I seen with the buttons when the device is off or whatever take you into download mode or a mode that only says factory reset.

On the Verizon model I have TWRP installed and hold power on+volume down and when it says the factory reset I just go ahead through it. The phone still has all your files. It just ends up wiping the OS.
Just my .02 cents because I've been in that position.

So if it wipes the os it leaves the phone in a permanent boot loop therefore not working if you do that, no?

So I download flashily and boot into TRWP. I try to flash into cyanogenmod. It had the flashing screen for about an hour so I though it got stuck. I turned it off then back on and now I am stuck on the LG logo. Every time I turn it off it turns itself back on. How can I fix this? I made a backup does this help?

Is there a certain button combination I'm supposed to hold down, because it's just stuck at the LG logo.
Powerand vol-. Let go at LG screen briefly. Power and vol- immediately and hold. How I do it, works every time. If you can't boot our repush recovery, time for stock hard flash.
You can't boot into one recovery from another. What are you trying to do?
Do what Steamer said and get into your Recovery - whichever one is already installed as default - you can only have one Recovery system loaded at a time. Once you're in Recovery, either restore your backup, or install a ROM that will boot. After its back to normal, THEN you can change recovery systems.
