Factory Recovery - Sprint LG Optimus G

Long story short....for the last couple hours I've tried to get into the stock Factory Recovery. What the hell is the key combo to do it? ZV7, ZV9

just use rom toolbox lite or any other app that reboots into recovery for you

I cant boot up! My phone just freaked out, no I havent messed with JB yet, but I cant boot into anything. LGNPST zv7, zv9 and it freezes at the 4GLTE logo. ADB shell won't let me wipe /data and I think that's where my problem is.

vol up + power? or vol down + power? let go when the cap lights flash

No dice. I've tried every combo I can think of too.
Vol+down gets the lights, but holding it, or letting go just boots me back to the 4glte screen

please let me know if you make any headway!

Hold volume down and the home button. Then press and hold the power button. Hold all these til just after you see the soft buttons light up.

I couldn't even do that! But after lgnpst 7,9 twice each, and messing long enough with it I finally got it. But as _Epic said...vol+ down until lights came on then I let go. After about 1min recovery finally showed up.

Odd, works for me every time. But as long as you got into the recovery, it doesn't matter how

Two of us at the same time? Too weird.
I'm taking this as a sign to put JB on it now. I'm already ready anyway

Just discovered something I want to share!

Well i never saw anyone mention this here so here goes. My phone froze on me out of nowhere and i was being too lazy to pull out my case + batt cover to remove the batt so i tried different button combos till i found one that worked! Holding power + Vol up for about 10 seconds reboots the phone! Once it started back up i tried it again n phone rebooted
Edit: I'm on sfhub's oneclick FC22 ics. Not sure if its exclusive to this build so i suggest testing it out and letting me know if it works on other builds as well.

Oh wow, that's awesome!!
I noticed it but I passed it off as something i had just never tried before lol.
You can just hold the power button...
Had it happen to me a couple of times. You don't have to hold vol +, just hold the power button down and it reboots the phone

Not new but thanks for sharing
Just hold power to reset.
Wow lol.. hold power button down will reboot phone. Power and vol up will get you into recovery if you hold it longer

Ah ok power button does the trick alone lol.. Well i never saw it being mentioned and i got excited i didnt have to do a battery pull anymore! And i know vol up + power takes u to stock recovery but phone has to be off duh lol.. Anyways my bad for the stupid thread someone delete.

[q] help please!!

Today I went into recovery mode to fix permissions because my phone was running funny. I used the cache wipe script and when i tried rebooting my phone it wouldn't turn on. I decided to take the battery out for a few minutes to see if that would help. It finally turned on but it is stuck on the boot animation. I have tried to get straight into recovery after trying to reboot it but it won't let me. Could someone please help me figure out what's wrong and how I can fix it?
Have you tried holding down both vol down + up and power button same time then releasing power button when the phone vibrates?

I've tried that and nothing. I can turn it on now but it gets stuck on the boot animation. I cant get into recovery.
Edit: Finally got it into recovery now I'm going to flash a backup i made yesterday. Thanks for the reply.
Hold the vol up and down with power button at the same time. Let it vibrate once and take finger off power button and once Samsung logo comes on take your fingers off the volume rocker.

Your going to have to reflash your custom ROM from your recovery menu
He most likely used TDJ's scripts on the newer CWM versions and borked his recovery. I've done the same thing with my device...

Download Mode?

Ok so I made the jump to zv9 and after realizing my mistake I want to downgrade with LGNPST and root. Long story short, I've used every button combination on this phone and can't get into download mode. I know it's supposed to be vol(up + down) + power but it's not doing anything other than booting up. Am I doing something wrong? Did I hold it too long? Not long enough? Do i sacrifice a goat to the gods of LG? Someone please help...

Maybe your little bump isn't working. Try holding both up and down while plugging into your comp

[Q] Can't boot into recovery? Any solutions?

Hello XDA fellas,
Earlier, I was browsing in the S3 section, and someone has ported the S4 camera apk for S3, so without hesitation, I flashed it onto my phone.
Immediately when I reboot, my phone wouldn't go past the boot animation, so I thought... Okay, I will just flash my nandroid backup then.
But what I found out now is giving me a heart attack, my phone doesn't go into recovery, instead, it reboots if I hold down Power + Vol Up + Down for more than 4 secs... so fine... I went to Odins and reflashed CWM with a Stock Rom, but it's still not getting past the boot animation.
If anyone has any solution to this... I would appreciate it if you can share with me what you know.
Thanks.
You need to hold home, power, and volume up at the same time

Whenever the power key is held down for more than 4 seconds, the device reboots...

[Q] Recovery Question

Hey all I have a question about recovery on my GS2. My question is my phone wont power on due to a black screen and constant vibrating. It happened to me twice now and the first time I was able to fix it. My question is I made a recovery on my phone after I fixed it and I called t-mobile tonight and they are going to send me a replacement phone. My question is I have a backup and I was wondering if I could take that backup and restore to it on my new phone???
It SHOULD work. No guarantee though.

i think you can do a factory reset. it's in settings.
Yes, you can erase all info. Just wipe it all. Factory reset...cache....system...dalvick...etc. Your phone will be squeaky clean :fingers-crossed:
I cant power on the phone or get into recovery.
Holding power button and both up and down volume buttons don't work either? I mean hold all 3 at the same time.
