[Q] Verifying recovery mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am rooted and my attempt to install TWRP was unsuccessful, the ADB kept failing to keep a connection with the phone.
I want to verify that I can install the ZVA update without an issue. When I try to enter recovery mode it wont work. Tried holding the vol down and power wait for LG logo, release and hold power button until it enters recovery but it just powers down again. Using a different method I did get it into a recovery mode with the android guy and some really small writing with options in the upper left corner. IT says "Android System Recovery <3e>" Is this the factory recovery mode? How can I tell if I have the wrong recovery mode(s)?

bump

3e is stock recovery so I'd say you're good to flash.

How to boot into TWRP recovery mode from Phone OFF state

I cannot figure out how to boot into recovery from phone off state. If I go to ROM Toolbox pro and reboot that way into recovery, then it works fine, but NOT from phone off state. Thanks.
Press/hold vol down + press/hold power will get you to the bootloader, then select recovery from there.

Did you "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" or "fastboot boot recovery.img"?
Got, it. Reinstalling recovery from Goomanager, worked. For whatever reason, my recovery was repalced or gone.

I got that as well when I used the root toolkit, had to download ADB+fastboot package and flash manually.

Hey the same thing is happening to me as I am using my Nexus 5. Can you please show me how to do what you did to find this. I cannot boot into recovery. When I try installing TWRP from GooManager it just says it will download but it never does and then after a while the app shuts down. I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom Manager and it downloads all the way and than says that a problem occured. Can somebody please help me with my situation. When I press the power button and the volume down button and it brings me to the bootloader and i navigate to recovery, it just brings an android guy with a red triangle. please help me. I just want a custom recovery. I don't care what it is. Either TWRP or clockwork mod.

Hello forum peoples. Recently I have tried to flashthe paranoid android firmware using flasherfy. I have twrp installed but idk if I was supposed to do with it. My phone is now in a boot loop because of my attempted flash. Please help me fix this. I am able to boot into both firmware update mode and factory reset mode. For the factory reset mode I am able to boot into the reset mode but as soon as I try to wipe it just reboots again. I have tried to use the lg firmware update tool using com5 and com41 and using both they stop at 49% and the phone just disconnects from the program/computer. Help Please! !
EDIT: I have an lg g2

For stock recovery, yes you'll see that screen. On that screen all you have to do is press power button and then press volume up (just one quick press) and it will take you into recovery menu.

Stuck in Recovery

Well...not permanently. I can boot out of it.
I just rooted successfully with the method here.
When I boot into recovery, I see the horizontal android with his chest open and a red triangle. I can boot up by holding the volume (either up or down) and the power button.
ClockworkMod tells me I have both clockworkmod and TWRP installed. How do I successfully boot into Recovery?
Thanks guys!
Boot into recovery with vol down+power then use the vol rocker to cycle to recovery mode. Use power button to execute. Pretty sure it says all that when you see the android screen..

Thanks but I don't have that option in Recovery.
An update: I followed the instructions here about installing a recovery tool by pushing it through adb. What I get now is the following:
[730] Fastboot Mode Started
[780] udc_start()
Is this a soft brick? If so, how do I reverse it? I'm very frustrated!
Thanks,
Phil

Can you get into download mode? Volume up + power. If so next go to lg g2 general forum and read the flash lg g2 to stock.
If your stuck in fast boot then there is another hoop to jump through. I'll get you the info in The morning.

Download mode does work. I'll go through the steps you referred to. Thanks.

Almost there. Got it rerooted, successfully installed TWRP. Flashed cyanogenmod (newest nightly). Forgot to install GAPPS though!
I don't see an option to reboot into recovery from cyanogenmod.
What's the process for rebooting into recovery? I've tried different combinations with the volume and power buttons but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Phil

[Q] enabling ADB during bootloop

I am rooted with custom recovery, stuck on logo screen. I Can get to DL mode, but not recovery to restore my backup. usb debugging is enabled on the device, but its the Verizon version so it needs "Ethernet" connectivity to communicate via adb. so as of now its not communicating. anyway to send reboot recovery command so I can back up? or am I going to have to flash all the way back to stock through KDZ? and if I do that, do I lose root, and recovery, having to start all over?
What do you mean you can't get to recovery?

Lol. I mean i when I hold volume down and power key sequence it still just boots to lg logo and loops. I can not boot into twrp. Only download mode. What partition is recovery located? I am starting to wonder if I wiped it?

Aaand are you sure you released and pressed the keys again when the lg-logo came up? Also you should be able to get to the white lg reset-screen even if you have empty recovery partition.

Yes, I was. But I guess my timing was bad. I eventually got in, and recovered. Thanks for responding

Need help desperately :(

My phone won't boot after installing the latest DU custom rom. I followed the steps here https://plus.google.com/+AlexCruz/posts/JJ5d9v6DArW - rooted and installed latest clockwork mod recovery, did a backup, and wiped everything, then installed the custom rom. But now it is stucked at the Dirty Unicorns boot screen.. Please help.
Some extra info: I was on 4.2.2 (802 international) before the flash
Edit: i can't even get to recovery now, by holding power and volume down buttons at LG logo. Is my phone dead?

Are you getting to the factory hard reset prompt? You have to go through that to get back into the recovery. Then you can just restore from Backup.

--This is copied and paste from another thread--
"You should be able to get to CWM recovery by using the hardware button (power and volume down held down, flash LG logo for a second, and then shuts off--only then you can turn it back on by holding power and volume down together until LG logo pops on, then let go of both buttons quickly, hold down both power and volume down again, and then quickly let go of the volume down button: a white factory reset screen should pop up and then you can push power button alone twice to enter CWM recovery).
If above does not work, you may need to KDZ back to stock using download mode (google LG G2 download mode) and USB cable (the one that comes with the phone as some USB cable won't work as they're charge only cable). You'll have to reroot with IOROOT25 and start over again."
--
I have no idea what fastboot or download mode is but your phone should be soft-bricked? If you can get into recovery or the factory reset screen you should be safe.
I wasn't able to get into the recovery at first but then I kept trying and trying and managed to get in by luck. Lol. I then wiped everything including Dalvik cache in Advanced and rebooted and was relieved to find it booted into Dirty Unicorns. I guess i was lucky.

LG OPTIMUS L7 cannot access recovery mode

Hello there. My LG Optimus L7 was lagging to much with it's stock rom so I decided to flash a custom rom to it. So I rooted my phone, installed CWM, and then using Rom Manager app I rebooted to recovery mode, before that I was trying every combination I found on the internet about how to enter the recovery mode, but no success. Anyway, after rebooting into recovery I installed CM 10, but the phone got stocked into CM boot loop. Now I can't access recovery mode to reinstall the rom, or install a new one. I also tried emergency mode (holding the vol up then plugging the usb cable) , which didn't work either. How can I enter the recovery mode? Please help! Is there any way to access the recovery mode without the buttons combination in this state(when phone is soft bricked) ?

I cannot access recovery too! I have TWRP installed but i tried every combination on internet and till can't access it Do somebody know any combinations to get into it?
I remember that once upon a time I was able to enter the recovery. But only once. I pressed randomly all buttons and succeeded. More times have I failed
Maybe it is the newest recovery fault.
I have the same problem. solutions?
V10 - power and volume lower (-) after the lights turn on release power and volume buttons and press only home button
V20 - power, volume lower and home, when you feel a vibration release all the buttons
