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.

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.

Note 3 Bootloop. Did I brick my phone?

Hi all,
I have tried to flash CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 on Android 4.4.2 with the note 3 via Odin.
Every time I turn on my phone, it first says:
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING...
Set Warranty bit : recovery
Then, it reboots. It does not give me time to do anything via Odin. It ignores Volume up/Down + Home Key + Power combinations and just keeps on rebooting forever. Anything I can do?

Pull battery, wait 30sec, boot normally (shd go into download mode then)

I've already done that several times (it is also unplugged from the USB). It still does exactly the same thing

When you put the battery back in, go straight to ODIN/Download mode don't try and turn the phone on , it'll let you do it - If it was bricked it wouldn't boot up at all

Sprint S4 Stuck at Yellow Splash/Bootloop

So I got this S4 shortly after it came out running 4.2. I flashed CM 10.2 shortly afterwards, and ran that until the first milestone of CM11 was released. I switched to that for about 2 months, but decided I wanted to return to stock this evening.
I followed Qbking77's guide on unrooting to MDC, and all seemed well until I got to the restart stage and the phone started hanging at the yellow Sprint logo until switching to a bootloop. I've since tried reflashing the image multiple times and no dice.
I have a nandroid backup from 1-18-14 that I took after installing CM11. At this point I'd take anything functional, CM or stock.

After flashing mdc in odin just turn off the phone. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot. Profit.

Maybe I'm confused but... Isn't that when you hold volume up + power? If I understand what I'm doing, I think I'm only able to get download mode and not recovery.

So I'm tried those on the phone and I can get download mode, but not recovery mode. It will flash with the text in the top left corner, but then go right back into the boot loop like before.

So... I couldn't get recovery mode to work and I assumed that somehow I had erased it.
I went searching for tutorials on how to restore a stock recovery + rom and found an application that acts as an Odin All In One.
I'm not allowed to link yet, but something tells me that the author Rwilco12 is known around here because it's a pretty helpful piece of work he's done. I used the tool and suddenly I was able to boot into recovery per leaderbuilder's instructions.
The good news is: ITS ALIVE!
Thanks everyone for your help!

If you have an SD card and are stuck at the yellow sprint screen take it out and reboot the phone and it'll boot. After that first boot you shouldn't have a problem anymore

It can be a real pain to get the timing right sometimes.

After holding down the volume up and power you can let go of power and hold the volume down. This will make sure it boots into recovery.

Nexus rebooting to recovery repeatedly

So after trying to boot to recovery, my Nexus 7 wifi keeps rebooting . What it will do is it will boot to the bootloader, then immediatly go to recovery, I have CWM 6.0.4.3. The recovery begins to load, however befor options apperar it reboots and restarts this process. It is unresposive to the power and volume buttons. I am not sure how to get it out of this cycle, other than perhaps waiting for the battery to die. Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Crack the back casing open and wedge the battery terminals out with something plastic. If you don't feel safe, why not hold power and down to force your way into the bootloader yourself.

Even after forcing the nexus off, whether by using the power button, letting the battery die, or removing the battery, as soon as it boots it does the same thing, even if I am holding volume down + power.

Ah, I see. What was the last thing you did before this started? Before flashing recovery, I mean. Did you check md5 before flashing recovery?

I haven't reflashed the recovery in a while, so the recovery itself *should* be fine, in theory. The last thing I did was flash Xenon HD latest, then franco.kernel, via recovery. For whatever reason, Xenon HD would bootloop, perhaps it is incompatable with franco. I then forced it off and used power + vol down to boot to fastboot then recovery, the recovery didn't load all the way, and thus the cycle began.

I have a same problem after flash xenon hd

The incompatablility with franco or the recovery loop leaving the device entirely useless?

I got the same problem after flashing XenonHD on my grouper,
I had checked for two weeks and finally I came over it by this way:
1- make sure you have proper ADB drivers on your windows
2- create an executable batch file (eg. boot.bat) with below contents:
:loop
adb reboot-bootloader
goto loop
3- connect Nexus 7 via usb to PC
4- run boot.bat
5- power it on and press Vol - key several times and with erratically, keep trying. it worked for me.
6- after unknown cycles of recovery bootloop finally it enters to Fastboot mode.
7- flash your recovery by desired one (I recommend TWRP) and run your recovery and wipe everything and flash a good ROM
8- good luck

Long time xda lurker here,
I have just thrown my t mobile note 3 into an autostarting bootloop that i dont know how to recover from. I have successfully used this same process 4 times on 4 devices, S 3, tab 2,galaxy light and lg volt. Although this time i used mobile odin as the flash tool.
I flashed twrp to the note 3 because it didnt have any recovery at all. Ive had this phone rooted for about a year without a recovery. After flashing twrp now it constantly autostarts to the logo screen and in top left corner it says recovery booting then it restarts with the same result. Ive tried leaving the battery out for an hour but when i reinsert it, i dont even have to push power and it starts bootlooping again. I cant get in download mode,safe mode, recovery mode, anything mode. Im at a loss. Any advice,any at would be appreciated. Is there any way to fix this.

If the phone turns on by itself when you put the battery in then it's almost certainly the Power switch on the mainboard or the plastic Power button (which is what we interact with).
If that's happening on your phone the first thing to check is the case (if present), to make sure it's not pressing on the Power button.
Next would be to take the phone apart and gently pry the plastic Power button off (there's two legs that hold it in - be careful not to snap them off).
Finally, the Power switch itself - it may just be gunked up, in which case you can try compressed air or electronic contact cleaner (be sure to remove the battery first!) and exercise the switch to get it working.
Otherwise you'll have to replace the switch.

I am going to give that a look right now but it wasnt stuck before flashing twrp. Mobile odin said it was going to restart then it immediately started doing this.
Ok going to check power button now.

The power button seems to be clean on the board and its free on the case, unfortuanately that wasnt the problem.

I've had this before and in my case the Recovery is in place but the boot loop will not let you access it.
Try forcing the phone down by holding down power for >8secs. Then as soon as it goes off, press Vol Up + Home + Power to go to Recovery. If it works, Factory Reset and see if it starts.
If that doesn't work, (Factory) then try flashing a ROM from your extSD if you have one, or flash the TWRP Recovery from there.
If that doesn't work either, remove battery and as you put it back in, have Home + Vol Down + Power pressed as you push battery in - just have battery sitting ready to push in with 1 finger holding it, press the 3 buttons and push battery home. Go into DL mode and Odin a firmware. Get the TWRP .tar file from TeamWiz and flash it from Odin after the ROM. Take the tick out of 'Auto Reboot for both processes. Take phone down, restart in Recovery and flash SuperSU.

Ok journeyman16,
Trying those 1 by 1 right now. Hopefully 1 will work, thanks for reply.

Nothing stops the "recovery booting" bootloop. Although for some reason i now have to actually push the power button before the power comes on after a reinsertion of the battery. But still same bootloop. Idk getting really discouraged with this one.
By the way, I do have an ext SD card with 2 nandroid and a titanium backup but they are useless with what it's doing

That's strange. It might be a timing issue where you aren't doing the DL mode buttons quick enough. DL mode should be available if it gets far enough to try Recovery boot. Did you try having the 3 buttons pressed and holding them down before pushing the battery in? (as in Vol Down + Menu + Power) I ask because it can be awkward to do it all at once - and it takes only a split-second lift of a finger to miss the boot.

Yes i have tried it a hundred times at least, lol. I was holding the buttons then pressing it against my leg to insert the battery fully.
I dont understand it either. Im at the point of just leaving the battery out for about 8 hrs then trying again, basically a hope and a prayer situation.

After my 2 1/2 hrs of sleep i put the battery back n and it went in download mode thankfully.
Tried to start it normally but it just loops to logo without recovery booting on thr screen.
Guess i wiped it somehow with mobile odin. Idk.
Thanks for all the help.
Ill be using regular odin when i get home to restore it.

Note 3 is working better than new
As an update, I ended up putting the tweaked ROM with custom kernal on my device and it just purs along at lightning speed now.That's an absolutely wonderful ROM. I highly recommend it. Only problem is if the battery dies it goes into a bootloop but as soon as I connect the charger it boots up. Not a ROM problem I don't believe though. Oh well thanks for the help guys.
