How to get into Recovery Modew?

What buttons do I need to press to get this phone into recovery mode. Absolutely nothing comes up when I try to google it or search for this phone it's driving me nuts. I've got it into download mode no problem but recovery I can't find a process on.

I know there are multiple threads that tell you how, but after you flash CMW and are turning your phone on you want to hold down the power button, volume up, and the home button. When the Samsung logo comes up, let go of the power button but hold down the others. That will take you into recovery.

Is this in a terminal on a computer or in terminal emulator? On the phone I've been using:
su
reboot recovery

That's using adb on a computer attached to your phone. adb is part of the Android SDK.

Thanks. I'm not big on the command-line stuff. I just copy/paste the lines when instructed to do so.

If you're rooted, you can also use an app like Quick Boot.

ADB download mode command

Anyone knows the command in adb to boot the phone into download mode? I broke the volume flex cable and it's softbricked now
Sent from my MT11i using XDA

I'm pretty sure its "reboot download" just like through a terminal emulator from the phone (root required).

#su
#reboot download

adb shell
$ su
#reboot download
There is no need for su if you have a #

I think I'm also experiencing the same thing, and could really use someone's help.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and have rooted it. My display is broken, so would try to use the how-to to create a headless backup.
When I try to reboot it into download mode, it seems to never come back. I believe it's waiting for a keypress on the phone, or scrolling through a menu to select the right option so it can continue to boot. Can anyone with a working display confirm this for me?
I rooted it a while ago, so don't remember what's on the screen.
When I try to reboot in recovery mode, I'm also unable to select the proper menu option to continue to boot into recovery mode.
Is it always necessary to boot into download mode first, or only if you want to download something? In other words, if I only want to reboot into recovery, can I skip the download mode boot first?
Ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex

You don't need to enter download mode first. From command prompt enter adb reboot recovery and your good to go

thanks this saved a lot of hours

I also installed custom rom AOSPrime. and then for going back to stock, i needed to enter download mode. None of the commands worked. i made a backup of everything in twrp except system and data. so i restored that back, and then voila, the LG logo was back but didnt boot(obvious). Now i could easily go by the vol up and then usb connection process to goto download mode.
the default stock settings enable the download mode to work.
if anyone needs the backup, mine may be of other region, but it could surely bring back the lg logo and stuff.
quote me and i will post the link

ggossamer : before download mode you need to confirm download mode with volume+ or you can cancel the thing with vol- , IIRC .
For your other questions, I think, recovery with a broken screen might be difficult, maybe use ADB

Samsung Grand prime download mode
I have a Samsung grand prime and I can not reach download mode to use the Odin 3.07 to flash the md5, even when I used adb services command "adb reboot download" it rebooted in normal mode. Any help please?
Thanks

You can't. Either your power button needs to be working or you phone needs to actually boot up to send it into recovery

i can get the phone to boot...i just cant get into recovery
i can get to the bootloader screen i just cant select..recovery

What I meant by boot was to actually boot up the os. Not just make it to the bootloader.

so basically im ****ed??

Unless you get the power button to work you are stuck.

bump bump...anyone got any ideas!?!?!

adb reboot recovery ? Won't that work ?
Once you get into recovery you can use the bottom four buttons to navigate through recovery. If I am not mistaken Menu to scroll up, Home button to scroll down, Search to select and Back to go to the previous menu.
Anyways you can always flash from command line using fastboot.

When your power button is broke you can't scroll and select anything in fastboot. It freezes.
You can't adb reboot recovery if the phone doesn't boot up the os. Can't use any fastboot commands either cause its stuck.
He is screwed. Getting power button to work/unstick whatever you want to call it is only way.

If I am not mistaken he can boot into OS, He can go to bootloader but he just can't select Recovery because of the broken power button.
So using adb and fastboot shouldn't be a problem at all. As far CW recovery is concerned you can navigate without using power button as well

problem solved...i took the phone apart and cleaned the power button with alcohol..and it worked!!

For possible future use, you can install an app called Rebooter, which can boot your phone right into recovery.

[Q] What's the button combinations to boot into recovery or fastboot?

I was able to root, install TWRP, and permanent root using adb commands to get into fastboot and recovery. What's the proper key press combo because I cannot figure this out?

1. FIRST of all, make sure that Fast Boot is off (Settings --> Power --> Fast Boot (uncheck).
2. Power off the unit.
3. While holding the volume button DOWN, press the power button. If you get the splash screen, you'll have to power off again and try again.
4. Hold both buttons for a second or two until you feel the vibration, then release the volume down button, the bootloader screen will come up.
5. Select hboot (if not already selected). Use volume button to scroll down to recovery. Press power. You will then see the splash screen (with red lettering unless you flashed an alternate hboot) and the unit will boot to recovery.
Do yourself a favor and either figure out a way to get the Advanced Power dialogue into your ROM, or download Quickboot which will do the same thing.

Oh Jebus! None of the instructions I found mentioned turning off Fast Boot. I was sitting here last night for like 10 minutes trying to get into fastboot before I was like, "adb reboot fastboot"

If you have tritium back-up you can go to menu select reboot to recovery.

See hgoldner's reply; very good walkthrough.
If you want to install a mod to get the Advanced Power Menu (APM) with additional reboot options, I used this.
Good luck. :good:

Yeah, I was looking for the key combo though, so if I ever bootloop or break something I can just restore a nandroid

[GUIDE] How to Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP

First, you’ll need ADB and fastboot, which can be downloaded here. To set up ADB, go to Settings/About Phone/Software Info and tap on build number until you get a toast notification saying “You are now a developer!” You will now have a new category in Settings called Developer Options. Go into developer options and enable USB debugging and OEM Unlock. You won't be able to turn it on if your phone is plugged in to your PC. Once you've turned it on, go to your PC, open Terminal or Command Prompt and type “adb devices”. Then plug in your phone and hit enter. You'll get a prompt on your phone to “Allow connection​s to this PC?”. Check Always allow and Allow. Now run “adb devices” again. Your device should now appear in Terminal.
If you have a SD card, download the latest zips from here and here onto your​ SD card. It'll save you a step later on.
Then you'll need to reboot to fastboot by holding down VOL- and plugging in USB while power is off. Alternatively​, you can type “adb reboot bootloader” in Terminal or Command Prompt.
Next, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. Bootloader unlocking​ will factory reset your phone! Once you're in fastboot, run “fastboot oem unlock” in Terminal or Command Prompt. Now the bootloader is unlocked.
Now it's time to flash TWRP, a custom recovery for Android. It's going to be the way you install custom ROMs and add-ons. Download Official TWRP here. Once you've extracted​ the recovery.zip, run this command: “fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img”. Once the file has flashed, disconnect the USB cable and battery. The next step is important! You're going to need to boot into TWRP for the first time. With the phone off, hold down VOL- and press power until the phone vibrates and the LG logo appears. While still holding down VOL-, release and immediately press and hold power. You should now be at a white screen that says “Reset all data and restore to factory settings?” Use the volume and power keys to select yes and yes again. If you've installed​ TWRP successfully​, it won't actually factory reset your phone. Now you should see the TWRP screen. If you don't see the TWRP screen and instead see a floating ring that says “Erasing”, don't worry. Let if complete and try flashing TWRP in fastboot again.
In TWRP, you'll be greeted by a screen that says “Swipe to allow modifications?” Swipe it, then go to the Wipe tab. Go to Wipe, then Format Data, then type yes, then go to the Reboot tab and select Recovery to reboot into TWRP again. If you're prompted to install the TWRP app, don't bother.
Once you've rebooted into TWRP again, it's time to disable encryption​ and root the phone. Download the latest zips here and here. Skip downloading them if you already put them on your SD card earlier. On your PC, push the files to your phone using the command “adb push path/to/file.zip /sdcard/”. You can drag and drop the file into Terminal or Command Prompt to copy file path. Then go to the Install tab in TWRP and select the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, tap Add more zips, then add the root zip, then swipe to flash. Let the zips flash, then tap the Reboot System button when it's done. Your phone will take a little longer to boot and might reboot a couple times.
Once you're back in the OS, go through the setup wizard. Set up Magisk. If you stay on stock, you should install an app like Quick Reboot Pro from the Play Store to make it easier to reboot into recovery. Now reboot back into TWRP and go to the Backup tab. If you have a SD card, set it as the backup location. You can enable compression if you want. This will make a full system backup that you can restore from as long as you have TWRP. If the backup takes up too much space, you can put it in Google Drive or your PC later on.
You are now ready to install ROMs!
Thanks to @messi2050

My device will not start boot loader with command "adb reboot bootloader" or with the method of holding volume down and pugging it into the PC, it just restarts and boots like normal. i cannot even get to the stage to use the command "fastboot oem unlock"

Please explain more in detail so you can be helped better In what ways? What are you doing to get into bootloader mode? I've never had any issues on my T-Mobile Stylo 2 plus. Are you trying to get into bootloader using buttons manually or through twrp or adb?

You hold volume DOWN and power then soon as screen comes on and you see LG you let go of the power button and then immediately press power again and you never let off volume DOWN. That doesn't work?

Ill try that i think i wasnt doing it correctly i was holding down power button then i let go an i was holding down the down button. Ty for u help ill try it later today.

Hey there, I've got the LG K530F, is there any chance of unlocking it? I looked up the LG developer website and it's not listed in there, filling that form will just lead to a popup regarding that. I thought about downgrading it back to MM (Android 6.0) using the K350F10d_00_02221.kdz firmware package aiming to be able to run fastboot oem unlock, but I'm afraid of getting it bricked. Anyone tried it? I recall doing something like that to unlock the LG Optimus L9, but that one was way older and had much weaker security measurements.

Can't get into Bootloader
Hi i have a LGL82VL and when trying to use adb reboot bootloader it just restarts, And when using Vol Down and Power it just comes to the factory reset page (Hard Reset)
Any ideas on how to get to the bootloader? i checked with fastboot devices while on the hard reset page and got nothing. Any Ideas?
