Hi,
just was in need for booting into recovery because the (newly flashed) ROM was stuck at boot animation, screen turned off and the device got hot (some kind of loop) - so
The button combo in following video worked perfectly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo3YfszOPsQ
I'll (review) and write the combo down once I need it again
but if I remember correctly it was:
1) Volume Down + Power button
until you see the LG logo
2) hold Volume Down, release Power button
3) Volume Down & Up + Power button
4) now confirm the appearing question or message twice with the Power button
4) a) Power button
4) b) Power button
hope that helps
Thank you !!!

As the title already says,
I'm stuck at an endless boot loop of the HTC logo and the volume down + POWER button doesn't get me into recovery again, like the option gone. So I'm stuck and I can't flash the boot-up FIX image since I can't access Clockworkmod recovery as I really only used this to flash images. Any help would be highly appreciated and it's rather urgent to me.
Thank you.

For some strange reason that doesn't work either. I will keep on trying your method until someone gives another solution... Well my volume button wasn't always sensitive so I needed to click hard, I will try though. Thank you as for now.

OK, another method:
1. Switch your phone off
2. Keep pressing the Back button
3. Power phone on (Power button) while keeping the Back button pressed
4. Check if "BOOTLOADER" is marked", if not select it by using Volume up/down buttons
5. Press Power button
6. via Volume up/down select "RECOVERY"
7. Press Power again
You are in Recovery and ready to flash / restore / backup etc.
EDIT: if you volume down button is out of function you can "scroll" with the vol. up button as well. If you reached the top of a list, it will jump to the bottom automatically.
Settings> applications> fastboot. Untick.
Power down. Power up+volume down.
Fastboot location might be different though. It is in applications for me.

I had a similar issue, but I wasn't stuck in a bootloop. Couldn't access recovery using vol-down at all, I could access it using ROM Manager, but it loaded the bundled version (3.0.0.5) not the installed one (2.5.1.8). Weirdly enough, selecting 'reboot recovery' in the 'temporary' recovery rebooted me into the installed one
The two posts above fixed it for me though, just unticking 'fastboot' wasn't enough - it just stopped it switching off (it would always reboot immediately!), but holding 'back' while it was rebooting got me into HBOOT.
I did discover that if I pressed and held vol-down while the htc white screen was showing it would start in 'safe-mode' - That was a shock, thought I'd caught Windows
It started right after I installed a new ROM, I don't really understand how that could affect it but I'm going to try a different one now to see if the problem goes away.
PVT1 S-OFF (Alpharev)
CWM 2.5.1.8
HBOOT 0.93
similar problem
Hi, I'm new and also noob, so sorry
I have same or similar problem...
I made update from A2.2 to A2.3.3 official ROM from HTC for HTC Desire and than I found custom ROM with Sense 3.0 - Cool Sensation v7.
I made S-Off and I have HBOOT 6.93.1002 now. Tried to instal custom ROM, everything installed good, but after rebooting system is still in boot-loop and a can not instal boot-fix because I still get error regarding some error about edify...
Some like this:
"amend script(update-script) is no longer supported
amend scripting was depreceated by google and android 1.5
it was neccacery to remove it when upgrading to clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted."
Can someone help me? Thx.
I am having no luck getting my device into download mode (I can't believe it).
If I hold volume up, menu, and power button, 'samsung' in white letters just keeps flashing slowly.
if i let go of holding them, then it brings me to an android recovery screen.
any advice please?
edit: solved ---- thought it was volume up i was supposed to hold, but is volume down

Yep... Vol Down + Home + Pwr for Download mode. BTW, it's the HOME (center) button... not the Menu key.
Hi everyone. As title, I tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy W using Android Terminal Emulator...the flashing LOOKED successful so I tried rebooting into clockworkmod recovery. Here's where the problem starts :
- after the Samsung logo, the phone automatically goes into the page before download mode (the page with the "Warning!!" and a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark within it) regardless of what I press ... (pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home / Power Button + Volume Down + Home / Power Button alone also takes me to this page)
- Once at this page I have 2 choices : either press volume up or down... pressing Volume Up (which is stated as "Continue" freezes my phone)
Pressing Volume Down (which is stated as "Cancel (restart phone) ) will just make the phone reboot itself and then comes back to this screen
Is there any solution to this ?? as I dont thik I am able to enter Download mode since pressing volume up will just freeze up my phone

Can't even go to download mode when you switch your phone off and use the combination of power home and volume up?

pull your battery out.
insert again, go to download mode
and try to reflash CWM via odin, make sure you tick the "auto reboot" in odin.
Friends,
I tried using the #3845#*855# and pressed DEVICE TEST and my LG G3 32GB restarted. It just boots up in miniOS mode and the screen is blank..
I tried rebooting and pressing the POWER AND volume UP button together --- RESULT - NO EFFECT
I tried rebooting and pressing the POWER AND volume DOWN button together --- RESULT - NO EFFECT
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

THIS TRIC'LL DO IT, BUDDY..... SUGGEST NEXT TIME YOUSTAY CLEAR OF THE HIDDEN MENU THOUGH!!! UNFORTUNATELY YOU'LL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA..NO JUMPING THIS.
1. Start your phone up by holding onto both the power button and the buttom volume key. When the logo pops up, let go for a second, and hold onto both buttons again. This should bring up the option to reset your phone. Agree to both prompts.
2. You should be on a new screen. It may warn you not to touch the screen because it is calibrating or testing it. You will have to press OK, and then give it a few seconds to do that bit.
3. The screen should have a list of options at this point (some of which say "+power) on them. If you want to use any of these options, you need to hold the power button, and then press that option on the screen. Press "normal boot (+power)" (don't forget to hold the power button at the same time). This should put your phone back to normal, and set it up again just like it came out of the box.
ENJOY YOUR PHONE BACK
Hello
I used QuickBoot to enter TWRP recovery and did a complete backup.
After this, I installed an Xposed SDK ZIP and now, my phone is stuck in my Blisspop custom ROM front page.
I have powered it off, then tried the following, BUT none of these worked.
1) Volume up button + Power On button - release Power button on LG logo - Volume up button pressed alone.
2) Volume up button + Power On button - pressed all the time
3) Volume up button + Power On + Home button - Pressed all the time
4) Volume down button + Power On button - pressed all the time. - THIS makes the screen go black after LG logo, so I am suspecting it doesn't boot into recovery? Then how did Quickboot help?
Can someone tell me exactly how to enter TWRP recovery again using hardware buttons? Please, this is urgent.
Fixed
Fixed using this procedure. Hope it helps someone else;
1) Press Volume Up button + Power On button for 7 seconds until you see the LG logo the first time.
2) Quickly release both buttons after you see the LG logo DISAPPEAR - i.e. black screen.
3) When the LG logo appears again, keep pressing the Volume Up button.
This is how you enter TWRP recovery.
