How to boot into CWM? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I installed clockwork and flashed the recovery, but I accidentally freaking factory reseted my phone by holding vol down + power. How do you boot into clockwork when the phone is turned off? I heard the NvFlash method is necessary but I'm on a Mac.

Stuck in Boot Loop, Please Help

I have a rooted g2x, and flashed recovery through Rom Manager. I tried starting the phone with Power and Volume Down, and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. What can I do?
Thanks in advanced for your help!!!
Did you make a backup while your were in recovery? If you did try flashing that. If that doesnt work do a factory reset.
I did make a backup, but how can I get in to recovery now to restore my backup?
Is it okay to factory reset at this point?

you need to set up nvflash and after that is set up you need to flash back to stock firmware
Did you do a nvflash which has been suggested by the devs here or did you do a fakeflash thru rom manager.

use this thread do the nvflash and then boot into recovery, no more easy ways out people... even then this is the easy way compared to the old days with the G1.

[CWM] Gone after update

I just tried going into recovery by shutting down phone and then power+ vol down and BAMM! Factory Reset Lol. Probably a lot of you knew this would happen but I didn't.
Just a warning for those of you who didn't know that the manual update using lg tool will overwrite CWM recovery.
yeah, i just went in and reflashed it, works fine now.

Just reflash with NVFlash like you just bought the phone.

[Q] Can't boot into Recovery, how to restore original one?

I'm trying to access recovery by power + vol down, it starts booting but gives me an error (the android with a "!" signal) and I just can't access it anymore.
My device is not rooted yet, I'm with stock HC 3.2 US 8.6.5.9, is there a way to restore only the original recovery?
There is no original recovery

Mine is hard to put into APX, sometimes I have to try a few times, but I got it because it display the usb icon beside the windows taskbar clock and it says "APX device", but it won't work.

I thought the original Recovery restored the internal flash back to factory settings. Before flashing CWM Recovery I remember using it a few times. Am I thinking about the wrong thing?

done that... it gets stuck on the Samsung boot screen when it tries to boot into android.
try another computer, then when in dl mode use odin to either flash cwm/twrp or flash stock firmware.
you must have a computer configured w/drivers or you wont be able to do anything

If you can't get into custom recovery or can't reset you will need Odin. Don't panic. If you can boot into download mode your phone is not broken. Just find a PC where you can install drivers.

Wiped system, cant get to recovery

Hey all, i wiped my system in TWRP recovery and when i hold power, home, and vol down, i get to the TWRP splash screen but then i reboot. Any suggestions?
bump please help
So it will not boot into TWRP fully? How many times have you tried cuz if you rebooted accidentally after wiping system (I've done this), it takes a few tries.
Alternatively, you could Odin flash TWRP (file is in Open1your1eyes0 root thread) and try booting into TWRP then. This increments your flash counter.

No problem. You're saying its booting to the TWRP logo or booting to the Samsung logo? Just wanted to clarify.
Also, hold: power, home, and volume then once it boots release the power button. That seems to be the only way I can cold boot into recovery.

Yeah i hold home, power, and vol down, then it goes Samsung screen > Samsung Galaxy SIII screen > blue TWRP splash screen > reboot to system and freezes. And another thing, if i odin flash this TWRP, will it wipe internal storage by any chance? Its happened one too many times to me

Hmm, weird. What were you doing before which led to this?
Nope, it doesn't wipe internal storage. Just overwrites your recovery partition. When Odin reboots your phone, pull the battery then try booting straight to TWRP. If you still can't boot into recovery try the same steps but flash CWM, flash a rom, and then reinstall TWRP via GooManager.

Just flashed it and it still wouldn't fully boot TWRP. I'm about to try CWM now. What happened was i came from LiquidSmooth AOSP and I was ready to flash Hyperdrive Touchwiz so I wiped all the partitions and flashed the zip. The Aroma Installer froze before it started so i battery pulled and figured I'd retry. It wouldn't boot and now I'm where I am now.
