(bare with me, i am kind of a noob, i rooted my phone, but i think somone else flashed a rom..not sure and it has nova launcher) I have Verizon Galaxy Nexus and I am about to trade it along with some cash to someone with a note 2. I currently have my phone rooted and i think it is running a rom. If i just do the default factory reset...will that be good enough for when we swap phones?

yeah thats AOKP, a custom rom.. and yeah you could do a factory reset there but i would recommend doing it in recovery, power down you, hold both volume buttons and power button at the same time to get into the bootloader. then press the down volume button twice until you see "recovery mode", and press the power button to select. now if you see a android with a exlamation you have stock recovery so you will need to press and hold the power button then press the up button.. but i am 99% sure you will have a custom recovery and that wont be needed.. but either way when you get to recovery do a factory reset
PS- i find it weird that you knew to put the "[Q]" before the title but didnt post this thread in the Q&A section

Hi
Just got into recovery mode.... trying to flash ARHD ROM. Currently have LeeDroid.
Anyway, got into recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, like I did when I flashed LeeDroid. Once it said, "Data wipe complete.", I must have pressed something and now it says, "Back menu button disabled.".
I can go up and down on the Recovery menu, but when I try to select something using the Power button, all I get is a white box with the little green Android jumping out of it !
can't power off, restart, cant select anything... and I dont think the phone is chargin when in Recovery mode ! Alas !
What to do !!
I should have all my zip ROM files still on SD card !

I faced this kind of problem few days back. Just take of your battery and again enter into ur bootloader and next recovery. Don't know more than this. Hope your issue will be solved

Try holding down the volume down button. I had this last week & holding the vol down button re-enabled it.

Pull your battery then hold the phone side ways & put it back in as soon as its back in, without even putting the side back on, hold the volume down button and power button and you should go into the bootloader. Now put the case back on without losing contact with the battery (bit fiddly) then look.at the screen & you'll see an option for recovery. Chose that using volume keys n power button. Then proceed as normal. Their may be another way but its happened to me after a wipe before n that's what I done

A bit reluctant on taking the battery out just yet ...
Hopefully there is a way to get the Back menu button enabled without doing that !

Just press the volume button down several times, browsing through the menu.. down down down, and it should re-apear..
That worked for me, and other´s
Edit: Don´t hold the vol button down, press it several times
What does YOUR button have to do with development???
That´s true, should be moved to general...

Adb reboot bootloader

i faced this issue more than once the method i used was start at top of menu press up down up down until it shows back button enabled
Hi. Isn't this question already answered & solved on page 1
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Long story short i rushed when rooting my GN because im pretty familiar with rooting android phones. I did not realize you needed to modify a file to be able to boot into CWM other than using rom manager.
My question is, is there a way to get the stock image on the phone, or, use my computer to fix this? Because currently my phone is in a bootloop (I installed gummynex improperly, rushing and forgot to wipe data, yeah i know i asked for it.,..)
If i boot into recovery all it does is let me turn the phone on, i cant select recovery or anything.
HALP!

Thanks but one last question, I can only boot the phone into the stock bootloader (whatever the default thing is when you hold the power button and volume down) and in this, the ONLY option it gives me is to start the phone, nothing else
Am i going to be able to push files to my phone in this?

I take it that you were able to flash the factory images and are all set or do you still need some help?
I need to return my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) for an exchange and I'm trying to restore everything back to stock but I'm having a problem with the recovery.
Please tell me if I'm doing this right. I turn on the phone by pressing the volume and power button to get into fastboot. Then I navigate into recovery and press the power button to select recovery.
This brings me to the broken android with the exclamation mark. I've read stuff about pressing volume up and power to go into the recovery.
I want to know if this is normal or if it should take me straight to recovery without seeing the broken android.

Use the GNexus Tool kit to download and flash the Google Stock image. Afterwards just relock the bootloader and you're all set.
That's nice. You didn't really help at all. No answer to the question and you didn't point me to the right place to post this.

Thanks for the response. So, the behavior I'm seeing on my device isn't normal. I just used the Wugfresh tool to restore to stock but I still can't get into the recovery without doing volume up + power.
hold both volume button down and power, then when you get to bootloader volume down til you get to recovery then power to select

That's what I did. After I select the recovery, it brings up the broken android with the exclamation mark. I'm able to get into recovery by pressing volume up and power. I just want to know if that's normal.
The Android with the exclamation mark is completely normal for the stock recovery. To get to the menu, you (copied from mskip's toolkit thread)

Thank you very much for the above answer. That's all I wanted to know before returning the phone.*
Q&A noted for my next question. I've been reading this stuff on this website for about 4 years now. First time I had to post a question. Thanks again.
I can use "adb reboot recovery" to enter TWRP 2.7 recovery mode, but I want to use key combination, please tell me how to that.
Hold Power + Vol Down > Wait until LG Logo pops up and release from both buttons > quickly hold Power + Vol Up + Vol Down again
It will pop up with some message about reset to factory settings, but it's all a bluff.
Hit Power x3 times to confirm and you'll get to TWRP recovery
Thanks, it works.
actually I enter this factory reset mode before, but i just don't know it a "fake".
so will this erase all data or not?

That will depend on whether you've installed TWRP or not.
If you've still got the original recovery it will wipe it like it says it will, if you've got a custom recovery it will take you to it.
The standard recovery isn't a recovery like you're expecting it to be, if just has a way of resetting things to default without allowing you to do anything extra. OEM don't like giving people options but want a way to reset to defaults that the customer can use before needing to return a faulty unit which might not be faulty. If that makes sense.

From what I can tell, it's not a "bluff". It seems that the stock recovery partition would just automatically do a factory reset, so it warns you before booting the recovery partition. Seeing as you're non-stock, it just boots into TWRP/CWM. It's a valid warning that's simply set up in a weird way.

You don't.
We'll you might be able to but you're going about it the wrong way.
First you need to find the right forum for your device, then you read, followed by more reading.
At some point you've hopefully discovered that you should have done all this reading before you reset your device.
Also before pressing the post button on your next post, read it first to make sure it makes sense.
Thank you very much, I tried other combinations found on some web pages that failed. This one worked!
Issue remains.

I got myself in a pretty bad situation. I have the stock rom. I am trying to get that back using recovery but it's not working. Only factory reset screen. This tablet stopped working in 2015. It cannot write ANY data ANYWHERE. Can't take pics, Can't take screenshots, Can't download apps. Nothing. I really want my tablet back... :/

I'm probably not the best person to help, however if you put a new post up with more details on what you have access too, the community will be able to help out.

Install LG software on your computer first. Then with the tablet completely off, hold VolUp and plug the tablet into the computer. That will enter LG download mode. Use the LG software on your PC to install the latest firmware available for your device. From there you can use the guides on this forum to go custom if you so desire.
Sorry for this very noobish question. My concern is, i cannot go to factory reset screen... No matter what i do, how many times i restarted and remove the battery, i cannot pull up the screen. Volume down + power button only makes my phone boot in safe mode... Im preparing to root my phone so im trying every possible way to save my phone if just in case something went wrong, I just want to make sure that it'll work before i begin rooting my device, but its not working... am i missing something?

My device is LG-D855 EU/Asian 3/32gb version. Not yer rooted.
I just activated the developers option but didn't do anything or touch anything with it.
Uhm, just tried this kitkat thing when you tap 4.4 couple of times..
Used LG suit and ran back up for my device.
sorry i manage to solve my noob concern, didn't heard the "release and re-hold power button" after logo appears. should have watched the video again before posting here. wasted time composing non sense thread. xD

You have to press power and volume down, until you see the LG screen then let go and press volume and power down again.
