I flashed the 5.0 OTA update, and everything went smoothly. Lollipop is working well, but I was going to flash the incremental updates so I can have 5.0.1.
Everything works until I try the button combo to get recovery to start. I press VOL DOWN + Power, get into fastboot mode, boot into recovery and I can see the Android with red triangle. However, when I press VOL DOWN + VOL UP and then tap the Power button, nothing happens.
Any advice?
It takes a couple times of pressing power volume up

I've tried it multiple times, but the options still don't come up.
EDIT: Nevermind, I had to wait for a couple minutes and then I button mashed it and the options finally came up. Thanks!
I observed the same thing. Its a crapshoot... Looks like a bug in lollipop.
The button combination changed on Lollipop.
Hold the power button 4-5 secs and tap the volume up button.
Hit thanks

is that what it is? I've been holding both power and vol+ for about 5 secs and the menu pops up when i let go. Not that this is useful info, I just need to get some posts.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wow, lol. Thanks for this!
For KitKat recovery, the button sequence is: hold down UP and then press POWER
For Lollipop recovery, the button sequence is: hold down POWER and then press UP

Start, Settings, Buttons.... mine shows three options but, there isn't three physical buttons. Anyone else?
Cheers
Camera, vol up long press, vol down long press
Damn, also wondered about that
thx
Yes, it's confusing, it"s the long press on vol up/down.
Do yourself a favor and try AEButtons, fantasctic app !
man that took me 72 hours to figure it out!!!!
Yesterday I had a hard time trying to boot an L5 (612) to recovery; there are many instructions out there that I was never able to make work, like this one, for example:
Press and hold the Volume down key + Power key, after 2 seconds when the lights go on you have to press 2 seconds on the home button

So, the best instructions I found were on this thread:
turn your device off, then press volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and shows LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.

And the method I found out worked best after some trial and error (and lots of googling):
Power off
Press and hold (Volume down) + (Home) keep holding
Press and hold (Power) and release it (Power) after the phone vibrates.
Keep holding (Volume down) + (Home)
Let about 8 seconds pass and then release (Home). Keep holding (Volume down)
Keep holding (Volume down) until the phone enters recovery
For me, works every time.
I heard about another:
Hold VOL-, HOME and POWER
When it vibrates, hold only HOME
Hold it until recovery shows up
???
PROFIT!
Long press power button no longer works for us on the S5 to shutdown or reset the phone.
What to do if you're stuck in a bootloop and need to soft reset so you can get into recovery:
To get into recovery:
Long press power + volume down reboots the phone.
Wait for it to vibrate and immediately switch to volume up + keep holding power + home key.
Once you see 'Recovery Booting' (in dark blue, top left) release the keys.
To get into download mode:
Wait for it to vibrate and immediately press the home key + keep holding power + keep holding volume down.
Timing is a little critical but at least I don't have to pull the battery every time I get stuck testing something and want to get into recovery to fix it.
Ty sir, good to no.

Why is Sammy making it so hard for us to enjoy our phone?
Thank you for the 411 [emoji3]. I was wondering what was going on.

Thanks for this!
I actually just had this problem and had to phone a friend (switched to the S5 this weekend and ran into a boot loop problem while doing some of my final restorations... it's the reason they're last!).
Didn't do this exact thing as I had ended up pulling the battery out when the Power - Volume Up - Home combo hadn't been working for me. If it happens again, I know this is here!
I accidentally totally discharged my N4 and now t has been on recharge for over 2 hours.....when I turn it on now, the little battery displayd appears to be FULL.....BUT.....it does not start up like Normal. Is this Normal? Will it start up as it used to - after some more time? I HOPE so - this is my 2nd one.
Thanks, michael
Hold the power button longer, for about 3-4 seconds or hold volume down pressed and than press the power button. It should power on in bootloader mode, simply press power again and it should boot into system now.

morganmf : THANKS UCH for responding to my plight............thought I'd BRICKED it for sure! Back in business now...HORRAY!
Something just happened to my phone where the touchscreen actions went a little crazy for a second or two and then the Volume Down and Power button don't seem to work anymore.
The Volume Up button still works though...
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to turn off or reboot the device without using the power button?
Volume down, power and home button. All 3.

Actually, I found in this case holding down Volume Down and Power caused the phone to reboot. I wonder if something got stuck...
It happened to me as well and I found some article which said to hold power +down button for some time and it will reboot
