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.

So I used ROM Manger to go to recovery, then wiped. then install update.zip, which was cynanogen 7. then it installed only for some 20 secs. then my phone now keeps on boot looping only until motorola logo.
I removed battery, pressed volume down and power, then the phone went to triangle with exclamation mark and android, then here is the problem, i tried to press volume up and volume down: 1) at once quickly, 2) together hold 3) one at time, but no luck, a nothing happened, still stuck with the triangle.
looking for your advises, thanks in advance.
for got to mention, when i try "volume up + power" it goes boot load and as i have mention above when i press "volume down + power" it goes to triagle with android,
so im sure the three buttons are working.
is there a special speed on pressing the volume up and volume down button?
thanks.
i dont think theres a speed/time for pressing the buttons, so thats not the problem. do you have clockworkmod or any custom recovery on your phone, or just the stock?
Sent from my superfast CM7 Defy.
it is stock rom 2.1, but i have it rooted and installed ROM Manger and the Clockwork Mod for Defy installed. On the clockwork i chose "normal boot"
what other boot options do you have?
Sent from my superfast CM7 Defy.
before there I had three options, 1) Recevery boot 2) Normal Boot 3) off to boot
but now i cannot change this anymore, as the phone is stuck in the motoral log or that triangle thing...

If you are on 2.1, to access the stock boot menu you press the bottom right corner of the screen. From 2.2 up they changed it to pressing volume up/down at the same time (basically, pressing in the middle of the volume button).

when you see android robot with triangle, then try to press the volume up & down together to enter stock recovery.

yea, it because he did the wrong way. I have done it several times, I'm on miui right now with 2nd init installed, and when I reboot to stock recovery, I got green robot with triangle like him, BUT (still in that mode) I press the volume up and down at the same time (it's like pressing in the middle of volume button between up and down) for a few second. Then you will enter stock recovery. Try it
"1) at once quickly, 2) together hold" he tried everything, it's in the first post!

its WORKs..

Exactly, press the screen!

no one could ever explain this better. thanks!
I am having a hard time booting into CWM, what is the right key combination? If I hold volume down and power, the Samsung sign comes on, and then the screen goes black and the phone vibrates every few seconds. I'm able to get into CWM just fine in ROM manager reboot and also with Juggernauts reboot, but it could become necessary to do it manually at some point. Thanks.
CWM boot
Need to hold volume up &down plus power keys when U see Samsung sing let power go holding up&down key till U see CWM
Working perfect, thank you!
So I messed up...
I flashed the new JB, rooted, and unlocked it(FreeGee) and it was working decently. For some reason (that I can't remember now), I had to go back to ZV7 using LGNPST. When I reupdated to ZVB, I think I forgot to unlock with FreeGee and debloated. (at this point, you're thinking "this guy is a complete idiot") After my next restart, I got the dreaded "security error" bootloop.
I didn't panic yet. I went ahead and tried to downdate to ZV7 again using LGNPST. At 85%, the phone rebooted as normal but after the boot screen, it froze showing the "4GLTE" screen at the end of the animation. I tried waiting it out but no luck.
When I tried downdating again, I'm getting the same boot screen freeze. Worst part is I can't access recovery; the phone just restarts and goes through the boot animation.
So now, I'm panicking. Anyone else encountered this problem and/or can enlighten me please?
Go to recovery and factory reset the phone.

I tried accessing the recovery (Vol up + power?) but it just starts the boot animation. Is there any other way to access it? Also, because I used LGNPST, it should open the stock recovery, right?
Power button 45 seconds
Hold the power button down for about 45 seconds. This will truly turn off the phone.
Access recovery using Vol. Up and Power buttons, then factory reset, and reboot.
You will be good to go.

No luck :crying:
As soon as I hit the two button combo, I get the red LG globe logo pop up for a second.
If I release as soon as I see the logo, it goes to the boot animation
If I continue to hold the buttons (and wait for the the blind menu on the bottom left), the screen remains black and nothing comes on...even after holding the buttons for 45-60 secs.

HOT DIGGGGIITTYYY!
It worked! Thank you so much!
I couldn't get into recovery last night either.
This is the simplest way, methinks (from command prompt with adb.exe in same folder):
adb reboot recovery
OK no power button on the motherboard
So I cannot push vol up power and home
Any ideas please and thank you
And my phone wilnot turn on it gets stuck at the logo screen so I cannot install any drivers
How do you turn it on with no power button?
When it first starts to boot, immediately hold home and volume up and it should boot recovery.
tried

OK it just vibrates and stays black and vibrates every few seconds till I'll I let go that it stays black
Try the same but volume down instead. If this works you can odin flash the stock firmware. Sounds like something may have been corrupted.
My 7-year old was playing a game on my wife's 3a XL tonight and it shut off. Now it's stuck in a bootloop.
I tried to boot into Recovery, but was greeted with the busted android screen. So I tried to boot into Rescue, with the same result. The bootloader is still locked, so all my attempts to flash factory images or boot into stock boot, I am greeted with the "not allowed" error.
Any ideas how I can recover this, or is it completely bricked?
If your bootloader is still locked you should be able to sideload the stock OTA. I've never heard of not being able to boot to stock recovery either. What method did you use to get there?

When you reach that screen on recovery you hold the power button and tap the vol + button and your options should show up. Just factory reset the device.

I tried to boot to TWRP but couldn't because the bootloader is locked. So I tried using ADB commands to sideload through Rescue, but it only said "error: closed".
Ended up doing a factory reset. (running now)
Haven't seen you in awhile
Well well.... thought i recognized that username. Good to see you again.

I cannot get my phone into fastboot or recovery. It stuck on the white google loading screen loop. I hold the power and volume down and it goes into fastboot but if I release the volume down button to scroll (while holding the power button) it will then go black and go back to the google white loading screen. If I hold down the volume down button and release the power button it will restart back to the fastboot page. If I release both then it will restart and go back to the white google screen. If I do power and volume up it goes to the "andriod no command" sreen then back to the googe white screen. In sum, is my phone recoverable?

When in fastboot, don't hold the power button down to scroll. Is your bootloader locked?

I'm guessing its locked because the phone is completely stock. When I get to fast boot I dont hold down the power button, but if I hit the volume up or down it instantly goes back to the google white screen and starts the loop over.

When on the bootloader screen can you fastboot a full image to the phone?
Said another way, try to download the full Google image.. not the ota... Setup a computer with fastboot and driver's boot the phone into bootloader mode and try to run the flashall.bat

Try-Once in bootloader scroll to recovery and press power button. When you see Android on his side hold power button and press volume up button. You should now be in stock recovery. From there you can adb or factory reset.
Edit- to get to bootloader power off phone then hold power and volume down buttons at the same time.
