my phone is not starting in recovery mode but the phone is starting perfectly fine can somebody help me!!??
how are you "trying" to get into recovery mode?
im hitting the home and power button but it stays stuck on the g1 home screen
is the phone powered down (completely off) before you press both buttons at the same time while holding both until the g1 splash screen shows up?
yes its completly off it stays stuck on the g1 splash tough and when i power the phone normally it works fine
are you sure you are pressing both home (second to left button) and the power (far right button) at the same time and holding it till the g1 splash screen?
also try removing the battery and leaving it out for a little while after you power it down. then try again.
also is the phone plugged in as you are attempting to do this?
i tried all of that and no its not connected. i tried doing an update with jf updater and it would try getting root access but oncce again it would just freeze on the g1 splash
oh ic...
well you should stated that in your OP.
try re-flashing the build you want.
wipe before you do so for good measure.
how can i do that? if i cant get into the root screen? would i have to re root my phone again
well from what you've told me so far, sounds like there was a problem when or while you were updating through jf updater.
since i don't know exactly what you did or did not do to your phone.
just go ahead and re-root your phone using the dreaming file.
start from scratch.
that for sure will solve your problem.
what if its going straight to hboot mode when im pressing the camera+power button
when i turn the phone on pressing the camera+power button its taking me straight to the hboot mode

what do you mean what if...?
if you are trying to re-root your phone then umm i would suggest you reading the guide step by step that is linked in the HERE link i have in my sig.
reflash your recovery image.
Definitely reflash. Something went haywire. Hopefully you don't need to get a new phone
Hi guys,
My Mrs. Orange SanFran has all of a sudden decided it doesnt want it's screen touched anymore. All the hard buttons are working and can not see any other issues. Seems there are several people who have experienced it but it seems to resolved itselfon a restart but her's isn't, no matter how long I take the battery out or pressing the reset under the battery cover I can't use the screen making it useless.
Any ideas? I stuck a custom Rom of 2.2 on it when first got it but can't remeber which one, maybe modaco Kitchen R12 Rom.
Cheers
Reboot to recovery, Wipe both Dalvik and normal cache, and restart. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset / wipe data, and restart. If that doesn't help re-install the rom.
Thanks for the tip, but I tried to enter recovery by holding down volume key when powering up but a screen breifly loaded that had the small text "android" written upsidedown but then just goes on loop of the screen and the standard screen, can't do anything.
Holding up volume whilst powering on doesn;t do anything and because I can't use the touch screen I can't access any recovery apps through the phone OS.
It's weird cause I've used to recovery mode on phone boot before as first ROM didn't work, so I know the recovery module worked before, no idea why not now. :-s
Could be either bad flash/root or faulty hw. Google "de-bricking a ZTE Blade".
Thanks again. Came across a very thorough article on modaco but unfortunately the phone won't do anything than a normal startup when holding the up volume or up and menu, so can't try any of the suggestions.
The volume buttons do work though as moved the volume in the OS
Just to be sure: you did first press & hold the volume down button, and then press & hold the power button? You have to hold them both down until the recovery menu pops up. I can take even 10 seconds or more.
If everything fails, try TPT flash. It should solve if there is no hardware issue.
Sorry if this post is redundant, but the methods I've seen haven't worked, so I can't be alone. Here is how to boot into TWRP if your phone is boot looping/soft bricked. (info pulled from here, of all places.)
1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.
Hope this helps someone besides currently frustrated me.
I LOVE YOU! I honestly didn't think this would work but it does and i'm so happy.
just about to make a thread asking how to do this. Glad I searched. way to make you jump through hoops tho.
thanks for this. for me the phone didnt even have to be completely powered off.
i wa sin a sleep of death so i held down power and vol down until lg logo appeared let go and then pressed power again. pressed power 3 more times and it booted into recovery

Thank you, doing my best to help out.
Sent from my LG-D800
Awesome. Didn't know this!
Thanks
@jadengore : I was stick in a bootloop, and your thread helps me a lot !
Big thanks !
:good:
Also, if you're too scared to try that, I've had success using rom toolbox to reboot into recovery. Of course this is assuming you have a working system.
Thanks very much, but...
Hello,
I unfortunately dropped my VS980, cracked the screen, and the digitizer only works on the bottom portion of the screen. I have a new screen coming, which should fix this issue, however I would like to get my data off my phone (pics), but I can't as I have a password (draw a line/shape kind) and without being able to enter this in, it will not connect to my PC as mass storage.
I was hoping to be able to boot into recovery with hardware buttons and get my data that way, not sure if that is possible either, but at least try it. This I found to work to get me to the factory hard reset screen, but I am skeptical to push the power button and have it wipe my data!
I am open to other options to get to my data if anyone has any, including android device manager which is something I have thought of, but not sure if I can reset the security to nothing, or maybe as the bottom portion of my digitizer seems to work, I can enter in a space or a period for a password and enter that in.
Looking for any guidance!
Thanks!
Got it!
Redid the password with android device manager, which got me in, but I didn't even need to do that as I had the brainwave to plug a mouse in with a usb adapter. Works flawlessly, got my data, now just waiting for replacement screen!
Strange Problem
I am using F-320K[G2], Cloudy G3 Rom, when I hit boot into recovery it does bring me to TWRP but hardware buttons doesn't work. It just restarts the phone.
Vol down+Power till LG logo up, release and press and hold again and after few secs it restartsand came back to LG screen. If I continue to held it it just repeat restating.

steps to enter recovery that worked for my Sprint LG G2 on ZVC firmware.
1) hold power and volume down button till you see LG logo -- quickly release these buttons and
2) immediately hold power and volume up buttons to enter into factory reset menu.
Then 3 presses of power key to confirm wipe and enter TWRP recovery. :good:
I was going mad trying to enter recovery for an hour. It appears like different models/software versions have different key combinations for entering recovery mode.
My phone was stuck at lg logo screen and i didnt have nandroid backup of the phone. so couldn't try the TOT restore method too as i waned my phone data.
Another way to get to Custom Recovery

The way that let me get into custom recovery is different.
I hold 'vol up+power+vol down' to start from turned off state and keep holding it[Don't leave just keep holding the 3 buttons]. It doesn't show factory reset screen, it get me into TWRP[Custom Rom] directly. I heard 3 buttons gets u in safe mode IDK but I got into proper working TWRP.

I have a F320S.
Hold Volume up and press the Power Button,when comes Lg Logo release the Power Button and start the TWRP
if anybody's looking for the information in this thread like i was, and the posted method doesn't work (it did not for me):
1. Power off
2. Hold volume down and power
3a. release both at logo AND press BOTH at logo right after releasing
4a. Enter recovery
You should enter recovery, but if not...
3b. Keep the buttons pressed (your phone might continue into the start animation, but if you keep the buttons press it will return)
4b. The first logo will appear. Release both and press BOTH
5. Enter recovery
hope this helps someone

this worked omg...thanks a million...
Just wanted to contribute here in case anyone else had tried everything listed in this thread and still was unable to boot into TWRP.
I'm on Sprint, stock, rooted ZVE, and I have TWRP 2.7.
1. Power off phone, wait a few seconds to make sure phone is completely off.
2. Hold power and volume down.
3. As soon as LG logo appears, KEEP holding down power... BUT release volume down and SWITCH to holding volume up.
4. After a few seconds, screen appears saying "Recovery mode" and TWRP opens up after that.
Stuck in a boot loop after attempting to restore my T-Mobile 801.
It boots up to the T-Mobile splash screen does its little ding a ling thing then 10 seconds later restarts the loop.
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Any other ideas?
Looks like I got it, I did a factory reset on top of it and seems to be working again.
Can you tell me exactly what you did? I seem to be having a similar problem with the Verizon G2 and can't get anything working.

After I ran the factory flashing tool, the phone would boot loop (I think most likely because the settings and profile from the last rom wasn't reset by the tool.)
So what I did was use the factory recovery option in the phone by doing the following.
1. Power down the phone (Hold power for 15 Seconds)
2. Press and Hold Vol Down and Power
3. Quickly after seeing the LG logo release the power (while holding Vol Down still) then pressing and holding the power again. You should get a white screen asking if you want to reset your phone press Power to Confirm twice.
A little android pops up and does some work then reboots your phone. The phone should boot after that.
I have a Verizon Note 3 which I bought a while ago. I have never rooted or otherwise messed with anything like that on this phone, it's all completely stock in that regard. In the process of trying to fix and recover my phone, I did the powered off version where, while your phone is off, you hold the home button and the volume up button and then hit the power button to get the little recovery boot menu. While in that menu I accidentally click on the "reboot to bootloader" option and now my phone is stuck on a screen that says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" I have been stuck in the screen for quite a while now with no change and I don't know what to do since it tells me not to turn off the phone and I am scared it will mess up my phone if I do. Is there anything I can do to fix this without killing my phone somehow?
Edit: My phone was fully updated as far as I know to lollipop.
Just power it off/remove battery. No problem because you did not flash anything.
