Hello everyone,
Since I updated the CMW to the touch version I cant put on my phone into recovery mode. when I restart my phone and hold on the the up and down volume buttons with the power button, my phone keeps vibrating without booting into recovery mode. I tried to downgrade to the previous version of CWM with no success.
Did you try releasing the power button after the first vibration?
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth
did you try rom manager?

Try actually going into the app from your app drawer and choosing reboot into recovery from there.. Generally you hold vol up + vol down and then hold power all together at the same time until you see the samsung logo pop up, then instantly release all. That should do it.
Good luck hope this helped.

Yes i would try rom manager app to flash non touch recovery or even reboot into recovery.
Hey everyone,
I recently flashed the new Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC ROM but it didn't occur to me that I needed to flash a matching GAPPS as well (I'm new to the whole modding thing and the download page for CM10.1 didn't include the GAPP). So now I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 but no google apps, and apparently no access to the Clockworkmod Recovery I used to flash the ROM either. I've tried downloading just the Google Play APK but the app always closes immediately after I try to open it. I've also tried booting into recovery by holding Volume Down+Home+Power but when I am presented with the Warning page and I press Volume Up to continue, the ROM just boots into Cyanogen as if I pressed cancel instead. Is there anyway to either get my Google Apps back, or someone access CWM Recovery so I can ref lash Gapps?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Brian
Recovery is power+home+volume up
Just flash gapps once you're in recovery.
You should be fine

I tried holding Power+Home+Volume Up but it just boots into Cyanogenmod as if nothing happened :S
Make sure your completely powered down first then try the power+volup+home button make sure all 3 are pressed down
Or, enable extended power menu under dev settings, then just hold down power, reboot, recovery
If you're going to enter recovery mode via the button combo, the most successful way is to press Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates and you see the blue text in the top left corner of the screen, release just the power button

hold down home, volume up and power button, screen will go off, then come back on with buttons flashing then screen will go off again, then when it comes back on press all three buttons again but dont hold them.
Or another alternative would be pressing both up volume button and power button at the same time up until the first LG logo appears. After which release both buttons. The screen will darken and butons will light up. Another indication you have successfully invoked the powers of cwm would be when you se the "Secure boot error" message at the top part when you see the lg logo.
Unlocked phone's bootloader and flashed the latest TWRP, downloaded straight from their site and md5 checked.
If I try to enter TWRP from fastboot, it enters fines but the shortcut just doesn't. If you can't enter twrp from the shortcut, then your basically screwed if you brick it..
I even tried flashing twrp all over again, and still have the sample problem.
So how can I fix this?
i have the same problem, plus the fact that i had error during flashing new rom and now i can't even go back to stock, cause my PC doesn't recognize phone in download mode. Any fixes?

If u have root u can use an app called Flashify download from playstore go to recovery by using this app n The regular way to go Volume up and power button delete all select yes confirm yes u go into TWRP
Use Flashify or while you're in recovery flash again the recovery use the "Flash Image" option. And now you'll have permanent recovery
i found a solution, when your phone is off press volume down + power until lg logo appears, then release power (keep holding wolume down) and press power again. Then double yes and boom TWRP

Thanks mate. This made the factory reset menu open, and after clicking yes twice it did a normal factory reset like there was no twrp there.. I flashed twrp a couple of times with no error messages, and even got into it a month ago. How did it disappear.. what the hell
Hi all,
Have a brand new (to me) v500 that i bought and was able to root, flash twrp, and flash crdroid on yesterday. Today i flashed standard AOSP but now i'm stuck in a bootloop and cant figure out how to access twrp any more. Previously with crdroid on it i was accessing the bootloader/twrp via an app. So far all i can get to come up using hardware buttons is the download mode, and ADB isn't recognizing the device.
Any advice? I tried following a guide to revert to stock using the LG Support Tool but cant find the R&D tools to complete the tutorial.
Any help is appreciated.
Bump - $10 USD to whoever can help me solve this first
To enter twrp via buttons on v500:
Press and hold Power Button + Volume Down
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only
Now press and hold the Power and Volume Up button while keeping your hold on the Volume Down button
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons
Follow On Screen Indications to make factory reset, but instead you enter twrp

Using that combination of buttons doesnt bring up any menus, i see the LG logo and then either holding the power button shuts down the tablet or it tries booting into Android, which then loops.

Thanks for the link, so far i havent been able to get my computer to recognize the usb connection when in download mode. I'm using the OEM cable and downloaded the drivers in the LG Flash Tool thread, but no luck.

b0li gave an invalid TWRP entry instruction.
Read How to enter recovery mode using key combination post #2.
In TWRP, do advanced wipe without internal storage.
Before you flash the ROM, check its checksum carefully to see if it is identical to the one on the server.

I tried the corrected key combination, but no menus pop up, I either hold the power and vol up/down buttons until the device turns itself off, or it boots to the Android logo and then loops.

It turns off because you hold 3 keys and don't release them.
You must press them simultaneously and then release them immediately.

That did the trick, can't believe it was just because i wasn't pressing the keys exactly right. I was able to get back into TWRP and reflash the ROM so now everything is working. Still having trouble getting usb to recognize the device, so i can't flash anything else on there at the moment.
PM me your paypal or venmo

Perhaps the problem is not the usb socket or cable.
Blow out the socket with compressed air and try again.
If that doesn't work, then your OS may be a problem.
In this case, try [LIVE-ISO][FWUL]adb/fastboot without any installation and driver issues.
I tried another computer too, same result - the tablet recognizes the connection so it starts charging, and despite the USB settings in dev options being set for MTP, it doesn't connect.
I'll try your link later, but it seems like its a problem with the tablet compared to computer.

You can always transfer data using microSD or via WiFi tethering.
If via WiFi, I recommend the SwiFTP server - simple and reliable.
I tried to update Lineage and am running into an issue now where as soon as the LG logo pops up, a message that says "Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify" pops up almost immediately so I can't use the hardware buttons to get into TWRP. Any ideas around this one? Thanks again all!
