How to Enter Recovery Mode on LG G Pro

shutdown it down - turn off the phone wait few secs before going to next step
hold volume up button while holding power button also
when lg logo appear release/unpress power button just for a sec or two and then press and hold it back
Done
if its not working, it must be, u dont have recovery installed
use freegee to install one

hi
I dont understand
I try alot off time but dont secsuss

Assuming that the phone's power is off:
Hold down volume up button, then push the power button and hold it down. Count to 4 and stop holding the power button, but keep holding the volume up button. You should see the lg logo and then your recovery 5 ~ 7 seconds afterwards. Btw, which recovery are you using?

Custom recovery?
Is there a way to install a custom recovery on this phone? I read conflicting reports. I'm on 4.4.2 rooted and would to make a back up of my system, add zips, etc.

Have you try freegee in the play store? It installs the older version of cwm or twrp, but it's a start. Once you install the custom recovery, you can try flashing the newer version such as Philz cwm or newer version of twrp.

thanks
i do all this but no chances to enter into recovery
can help me with a video for that method

check if u have recovery mode installed
get FreeGee
and boot to it

I tried that before and got error messages. Some people say it worked and some say they had to wipe everything and it still did not work. Maybe the newer version works as I tried this 2 months ago.

Are you rooted?

for twrp recovery this key combination is not working, please help to go to recovery through key combination....

its working here

i'll try to help u
first just make sure that your device is rooted, download Optimus G Pro Custom recovery (try to search on google, i found many links last time i download it), install that .apk on your device and then run it, choose flash recovery, and then choose reboot recovery. you will have recovery now. hope this helps. :angel:

Heyy! I wanna install twrp and then install cm12 nightly but I've read on other threads that flashing twrp directly will brick my phone and I'll have to install cwm first then cwm touch then twrp from there but on another thread it tells me to directly install twrp from freegee on stock JB.
Can anyone explain this to me? It's really confusing and I wanna know if flashing twrp will brick my phone. Im on stock kk but ill go back to JB and try it. Someone tell me if thats a good idea?

While you're on stock ROMs, just use Philz Touch. But if you ever go to like CyanogenMod or any other non-stock ROM. Flash that ROM with Philz Touch, then flash official TWRP. After, you can stay on TWRP once running a custom ROM.

[Guide] Returning back to Stock after flashing custom ROM

Seeing lot of users struggling while going back to stock due to one or the other needed feature on custom ROM missing, few of them are dual SIM not working, MTP, camera or others. Even if they come back to stock by restoring the stock the ROM via TWRP, sound is not working for many of them. I flashed recent LOS, RR, AOSP and returned back to stock without any problem. I made the traditional backup (yeah not followed the instruction of TWRP backup given in ROM thread ) I will quickly brief on the method. There are 2 methods for the same.
Method 1:
Before flashing the custom ROM
Boot to TWRP
Click on backup
You will bunch of options/partition to backup.
Select only - boot, data, system and vendor and no other partition. (can change the name of TWRP to the Date-Time-BXYZ)
Let TWRP finish the backup (time taken will depend on your data size)
Now again click on backup and this time select only - cust, prod and version (can change the name to Date-Time-others or a per your wish)
Flash custom ROM and enjoy
IF you face any issues and want to return back to stock, refer below.
Return to stock-
Boot to TWRP
Click on Wipe
Wipe System, Boot, Data
Click on Restore
Select the backup media (internal memory/external memory/USB etc)
Chose the 1st back up only i.e boot, data, system and vendor (Date-Time-BXYZ)
Chaneg the file system to F2FS (it was channged to EXT4 while moving to Custom ROM, remember )
Boot to system.
It should have all sound and other stuff working without any issue.
Method 2:
Use dload method to restore to full stock.
Link here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
In worst case If you have anything non working, like FM, theme etc, flash the small data file via TWRP.
Link here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-solution-to-themes-fm-app-manual-t3712002
Try to use the same build number's file for this.
Good luck.

I have been trying to relock the boot loader on my honor 6x BLN-L24C567B365 with no luck. It has de factory rom on it, it has twrp an root installed (magisk). I tried the dload method with the same software version it has (BLN-L24C567B365), but i get "software install failed", I want to remove twrp, root, and afther that relock the boot loader. If i try to relock in the actual state, it boots in to fastboot mode, to boot correctly again i have to unlock again de bootloader. Can you give me some advice please.
Thanks in advance.

Check all the files I have given in PM and share the results.

I tried going back to nougat from stable gsi linage os by using huru updater flasing via recovery and it resulted in a bootloop.
I can only enter the three options section -1-press power button to continue. 2- Volume up key to enter erecovery... and 3- The device will continue to boot after 5secs...
I cannot get into the erecovery at all, not even flashing another erecovery since I thought it was corrupted but no. I try to press volume buttons simultaneously with the power button and it doesn't work either. It also doesn't seem to stop rebooting.
I TRIED DLOAD and I had NO result but the same unstopping reboots.
Also I can ONLY enter that three options section by plugging in the device via pc while pressing volume up at the same time while plugging it in the USB.
Flashed recoveries for both nougat and oreo and never worked. I'm worried. Help please

Volume down and plugging in sync cable to computer won't put you in fastboot? Phone should be powered down and then this combo should get you adb access....

What have I done to my phone? - TWRP.

Good evening all.
I must have done somethingto my phone... as, when I install TWRP, it boots for the fist time, but then it disappears and all recovery boots go to stock recovery
Could it be a matter of partitions?
Thanks a lot.

As long as you are flashing twrp & not booting twrp image there's no reason why it shouldn't perminatly be there
Full instructions on my twrp thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/official-twrp-3-1-1-0-moto-g5-t3699737
To access recovery after you have

Hold power and volume down
At bootloader menu use volume keys to navigate to recovery option
Press power button to select recovery option
Any other questions read the faq on the second post first

Many thanks for your reply. This is why I am so disoriented about the cause...
I have flashed twrp for years on various phones: HTC, Samsung, Motorola... I do exactly as per your instructions, I get the OK after the flash, reboot and it is there. Reboot again.... and back to stock

Once you entered twrp for the first time did you swipe to allow modifications?
If using stock rom you also need to disable dm-verity or your phone will not boot

Maybe the stock rom is flashing stock recovery whenever you boot into it? Try flashing twrp while using a custom rom and see if it still boots to stock recovery instead of twrp.

|Q| Installing rom without TWRP

Hello everyone, i got problem that i cant get into twrp(looks like motherboard problem), is there any way that i can install some custom rom through the fastboot or adb. Once again, TWRP is installed but when i want to get in it just keep black screen.

Have you tried another recovery?
What about flashing a miui fastboot rom with MiFlash?

I tried last 3 version of this one https://eu.dl.twrp.me/capricorn/ and still same bug.
And yes im already on fastboot rom but i still prefer custom because of magisk and gcam.

Have you pressed the power button when the display is black? My display always turns off as soon as it has booted into twrp.

Flash twrp twice, mine had same problem long ago

rooted galaxy s9 exynos stuck in download mode, vol down + Power doesnt work.

Hey
Im new to rooting and yesterday I decided to root my galaxy s9. I used Odin to flash twrp and flash ' Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020 ' and Magisk v20.4. All went well.
Used Magisk hide to bypass banking apps. but I encountered a few social apps like Instagram that kept on crashing. So I searched up what the problem could be and came to an article where it said the TWRP app may cause interference and delete it and wipe cache partition from recovery mode.
I didn't delete the TWRP app yet and decided to boot into recovery via magisk. But then my phone booted into download mode. that's where the issue started.
Its the downloading do not turn off target screen but strangely enough doesn't have the small system writings the top left side of the screen. All it says is Vol down + Power to cancel but when I do that,my phone boot into this download mode again. I panicked and flashed twrp, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020, and magisk again and I did get into the Teamwin recovery. formatted and installed all the necessary things. But when I reboot from there it rebooted to download mode again. As of now its still in download mode and im waiting for the battery to run out and the turn on my phone normally. Please help
