[Q] Please tell me my phone is not bricked, thankyou.

It all started when I was having trouble downloading an app of the play store, looked online to see what needed to be done so cleared the cache and data of the store and its services; rebooted the phone and now it's...stuck (in limbo or purgatory) on the xiaomi.com logo. I'm using a rooted htc desire, what's the problem?

First of all, that's my signature and here I removed it for you.
Secondly, take out your battery wait a min or so, then try going to recovery or download mode. If you can't access any of them then only the company could help.

For recovery first turn off your phone (i.e. take out the batterie, wait some secs and reinsert).
Push the vol-down button an hold ist. Then power on the phone.
Now you should be in recovery.
Hope this helps.

Nexus firmware is not supported by kies you will never be able to connect it to kies . Just wipe cache from recovery don't wipe data.

how to enter recovery using buttons?

Hi, I have an e980 stock rooted and unlocked with freegee, I can enter recovery from the ROM reboot menu but I can not figure out how to boot into recovery from power off, I followed a tutorial that says to press any key before the capacitive keys light on, but my lights never turn on.
Any help would be great, thanks very much.

I have been told, but I'm not sure, since I don't have my device yet, that holding the volume down button and home gets you recovery, but I agree that there really ought to be an FAQ with questions like:
How do I?
Get to download mode?
Get to recovery?
Factory reset?
Flash a stock ROM?
Flash a custom ROM/Recovery, etc.?

Hold power, volume up and home all at the same time. LG will disappear, as soon as it reappears release them and it will put you into the recovery menu.
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

holding power-volume down-home takes you to the hard reset then you press power to confirm reset or any other key to exit hard reset. I just need the combo to go to recovery from power off.
Thanks for the response, I'll keep waiting to see if someone else got it.

Edit: Awesome!! Psal217050 that did it, thank you very much!!!

Many thanks man.It's working...I was searching this for hours!
It is true that someone has to post a complete guide on this subject for different devices and generally how to install custom recoveries,Roms etc. on different devices. Till now there is not a complete guide for this. For example Lg G Pro users, like me, have to find out that they must use FreeGee to install a custom recovery to their phone.
I hope that someone will do it one day.
Again many thanks! +1 Thanks from me

Does this apply to all types/versions of CWM recovery? Don't want to end up resetting my phone so am just using third party app.

Is there no recovery on our phones? I am stock no root or anything and can not go into recovery?

So I have been trying to do this for two days. Every time I begin from battery pull to pressing: vol up+home button+power button. First LG symbol shows then LED home button flashes and then device shuts off before second LG symbol.

No need to press home key, just vol up and power key and release only power key once first lg logo appears on the screen, and make sure you do have a recovery, otherwise install rebooter app from market

Hi,
I can boot into recovery mode with ROM Manager app but not with button sequence.....I have tried all methods except vol+pow+home... any Ideas or help would be much appreciated. phone is LG E980 AT&T version rooted.
Update:
I have tried now vol+home+power but still no success... LG logo appears 1st time but does not re-appear until i release the power button and then it boots into the original rom.

Power+Vol Up, keep them pressed, and then when LG logo appears press volume down twice. Works for me.

What kind of recovery do you have? I.e. stock, cwm, or twrp?

With my phone off, I press vol. up + home + power until the LG logo appears then disappears. At that point I let go of them. Never failed to get into recovery that way no matter what recovery I used.

Its stock recovery.
I don't know that my bootloader is locked or not, I bought this phone rooted. Can I flash recovery without knowing bootloader status? What risks are involved if the recovery installation goes wrong?

Why are you trying to go into the stock recovery? I mean you can't install anything with it as far as i know. If you're trying to install the custom recovery, you will need to unlock the bootloader first, then root the phone. It sounds like you are new at this stuff.
If you can still get into your OS, try root and install the custom recovery from there. Else if you don't have the OS anymore, you may have to reinstall the stock ROM by getting into the download mode.

my phone cannot boot into stock recovery mode by buttens even with some third party apps it boots. i dont know what the problem is??? I'll be thankful if someone can give me the exact procedure..

How to boot to recovery

Any way to without adb?

I've just been doing it through Titanium Backup. It's in the menu options.

Another option if you're rooted is G3 TweaksBox. It has an option to enable the advanced reboot menu.

If you are rooted download quick boot from market. It will have many options and one is booting into recovery.

I haven't done it on the G3, but I always used GooManager for that. I'm sure Flashify and others have that option.

How to Enter Recovery mode in LG G3:
First Switch off the phone. For that, press the power button and choose “power off”.
Wait for the mobile shuts down.
Now press and hold the “Volume Down + Power” button together untill you get the LG logo on your screen.
It may take up to 2 to 3 seconds.
Now release those buttons.
And again press those buttons for few seconds untill the recovery screen appears.
Now you will get the screen.

Weird, I did this but the factory reset screen from LG comes up...not TWRP. Doesn't matter though, I have other ways to get into recovery.

it would be a big deal if you end up having a bootloop which in that case you need to get into recovery by pressing those buttons

My solution for that has always been to make a TWRP back up, which I've already done, then move it to my PC and perform a factor reset, then moving the back up back to the phone.

I know this post is quite old, but for those unaware, if you have TWRP installed and need to manually access Recovery Mode; you will get a prompt to Factory Reset your phone. Just click "Yes" and it will reboot the phone back into TWRP. I have done this several times and my phone has never been factory reset.
Just thought I'd share!

This only works if you have TWRP installed via the Bump! method! If you do this if you don't have TWRP installed, you're going to wipe your system
If you want to get to the stock recovery/download mode follow these instructions: http://www.ninjaromeo.com/download-mode-lg-g3/
