Can someone post a picture and tell me what Downloade Mode looks like? I'm attempting to temp root my phone, and in doing so, need to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4, and THAT that particular thread wasn't much help. I understand to get to it, you press Volume Down + Home + Power until it vibrates, and then at the warning, press the Up arrow. The problem is, I'm not sure what I'm suppose to see next, if it's some sort of menu with options, or if this is in fact Download Mode. Thank you.

I've got the same issue.
EddyOS, I'm trying that down volume and power button but i get nothing but a vibrating phone... am i doing something wrong?
Vibrating constantly? Just hold volume down and press power once. Kepp holding volume down until the HBOOT screen with the 3 Androids appears

Thanks for the quick reply...
Do I have to be on a specific screen for this to occur as at the moment it just keeps vibrating when i hold down the "down volume" side key, then when i press the "power button" it switches off or turns to phone lock. Do i need a special program for the screen to appear?
UPDATE: Sorted it. Thanks for the help. Didnt realise the phone needed to be powered off and then volume held down the powered back on. Thanks again.
Will that be an official update (manual flash link?). I dont want a custom ROM and also dont want to root the phone.
i just updated my recovery mode, after getting into the recovery mode, when i click on any of the options, i get a blank screen and nothing happens, when i click on the power button again it brings me back to the main screen, nothing works even reboot and power down. i have to force shut down by removing the battery, Appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Currently running revolutionary recovery.
Hey
Try using your trackpad button in selecting options!!
or just flash newest custom recovery :0
Use trackpad or volume buttons.
Hey guys thanks for the reply, i actually can scroll through the menu's but when i select i get a blank screen,
Btw Ashutosh1313 how do you flash a newer custom recovery, appreciate your help
Dont use "power button" to select things in recovery, use trackpad! the middle button on the bottom of the phone...
Thanks Guys its working, all this while i was using the power button to select, appreciate all your help on this.

Vol rocker + Power button.
Or just follow the stickies in the general on flashing a factory build to correspond with your device.
Use the search in the future. This has been done to death.

If you hold both volume buttons at the same time and push power while you're holding the other buttons, what screen comes up? If it shows an android with the words start in green, you can either follow the instructions he gave you or press volume down twice then power to enter recovery

the volume buttons doenst work at all..
when i push them and the power button the normal screen came up and then he stucks on the loading screen
hmm, you might have to look up how to do an OMAP flash then. i've never done it so i couldn't tell you how. see if anyone else can give you some insight into this before you do that though.
What you should do is open up your device again and fix those volume keys. This isn't a sw issue.

I'm trying to up date my parents Nexus 7 to 4.4.2 but it refuses to install.
The device advises that the update is available. It downloads without any issues. The device reboots and starts the install process. It reaches around 20% and displays "ERROR" with the android logo lying flat with an exclamation mark.
The device is brand new and has not been rooted etc. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

When you see the android with exclamation mark hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery. Use the volume button to highlight "wipe cache partition", press power button to select. Once that is done select reboot. Maybe wiping the cache well have helped. Try the update again. If that doesn't work, you have two choices that I can think of. Try a factory reset or adb sideload the update, for adb sideload you need a computer with adb setup on it. If it was rooted with a custom recovery there would be other options. Good luck!
To get to stock recovery... with the tablet off, hold down the power button and while you continue to hold it down press the volume down button until it boots into the bootloader screen. Use the volume button to select "Recovery mode" then press power button. Now you will see the android with exclamation mark again. Hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery.

Hi, thanks for replying.
I have tried this to no avail. I do however have further information regarding this error. When I press the power button and up I can see that it says "/system/lib/libchromeview.so" has unexpected contents. Does this mean that the software is not suitable for this particular device.
This all seems very strange as it's a brand new device and I'm getting the software from google directly?

The OTA will check the "System" to see if anything has changed, if it thinks anything has changed then it will fail. The update should absolutely work for your device. If a factory reset doesn't give you the ability to do the update, and I have my doubts, return/exchange it. Don't wait too long! Otherwise you need to use adb and at the very least, flash the system image to fix the problem. I personally can't think of any other options that you have. I don't know for sure but maybe there was an app that changed "/system/lib/libchromeview.so." Maybe the Chrome Browser or Chrome Beta. Try and uninstall the Chrome updates and/or Chrome Beta if it is installed. Settings/Apps/All.

Yes, I was thinking exchange would be the best option. Thanks for your help with this.

No problem!
There's no need to exchange for what's a relatively simple software fix. If you search the forums, you'll find easy-to-follow instructions for unlocking the bootloader, then flashing the stock recovery and latest ROM.
I no longer trust Google's OTA update process anyway. Flashing the full stock ROM ensures you'll start with a perfectly clean slate.
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.
