Hey guys I'm going to be very forward with this. I am new to android and I seem to have soft bricked my lg O3D. Last thing I did was put the clockwork mod on and now it is stuck on the lg logo, I can get to the recovery but it does nothing. I've been searching for hours on how to fix it but always find a problem. I have no idea what I'm doing any advice would be appreciated.
Try hard reset. But you will loose all you data!!! Before you do that, take your SD and SIM card out.
1. Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus 3D is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2. Hold the Home and Volume Down button
3. Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your device
Thank you for the reply, but I cant because the clockworkmod is on there that wasn't meant for my phone so I need to somehow put the default recovery on.
Hello. I flashed Cm7 rom, but forgot to wipe data and now I'm at bootloop. I can't enter recovery with vol down + home +power. Any suggestions?

Alright so I believe I bricked my 3D - I was messing around.. Long story short, when I boot up, it loops at the CM7 logo over and over. I have to take my battery out to power off. Now I can't seem to find a way to boot into recovery mode or anything. As soon as I put the battery in, the phone turns on without me touching anything. I don't know what to do... Help please!

When phone turns on push the power button for 5-6 second should turn off. Once phone is off press vol- 3d button and power button. Release the power button when lg logo appear and u should boot up into recovery

Are you sure? I Held the Volume down button, then the 3D button, and then power. The LG Logo came up, then the phone turned off...
Okay thanks got it now - When I go to restore, it says MD5 mismatch..?
I never needed the 3D button to enter Recovery.
I just hold down Vol Down and Power, wait for the Screen to turn on (LG logo) and then release the Power Button but keep the Vol Down pressed.
That always works for me unless the AC adapter is connected. Then I can't boot into recovery that way.

In Recovery mode go to Advanced -> Show Log. There you can see what files are giving you the md5 mismatch.
Then:
a) If some of your backup files has a name with spaces, change them to "_" and try again,
b) If the md5 problem is only with file android_secure.vfat.tar, edit the file nandroid.md5 in your PC with a text editor (notepad) and delete that filename (android_secure.vfat.tar) AND its checksum from nandroid.md5. Save nandroid.md5 and replace it in your SDcard. Try to restore again in Recovery.
Good luck,

I have the same problem as Arigo with the CM7 loop, I have done everything listed here to do and I am still stuck in the loop when I turn my phone back on.
Any other ideas for me?

The phone is working normally and you can't install a rom or is it bricked?
If working, try to root again and use rom manager to apply the clockworkmod, them go to recovery mode and try again ..
If bricked, try to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186460

Don't press the power button for too long. It takes around 9.5 secs for CWM to start, and pressing the power button for 10 seconds shuts down the phone. Stop pressing the power button the instant you see the LG logo.

1. To go into CWM you need to press vol Down not up + 3D + Power. When you see the LG logo let go off the power but keep vol down + 3D for few more secs.
2. Did you try and rename the backup? I did and it used to give me mismatch. Better to leave it alone.
It just sounds like his backup is stuffed up you could possibly ask for a stock boot image on forums to put n externel sd and restore

Hi.
I was wondering if you can help me.
I cannot get to recovery on a non rooted phone.
I press the power and volume down keys but the lg logo just keep on flashing after about 25 sec.

Please tell me why you would like to enter recovery. If you are trying to factory reset, which is basically only option there, you can do that from the OS. However, if you cannot access it, you can access recovery by using this button combo.
Power down your phone, and then hold down the power button and down volume at the same time. I forgot if this is download mode or recovery, but tell me if it works. Don't have my LG V10 on me atm.
I am trying to reset the battery stats.
I tries holding the buttons down, I get the LG logo and then after 20-25 seconds the phone reboots and the logo is displayed again. If I stop holding any of the buttons the phone boots (after AT&T logo).
So it does not work and I don;t know why.
hold power and vol down, when the logo pops up wait 2 secs, then let go of power for about 1 sec, then hold it again.
trick is to not let go of power down the whole time. my phone died on me today, so i had to figure this out.
I have LG Stylo 3 Plus which bootloader is unlocked and installed twrp recovery. All I need to do is to go to recovery mode and flash install SuperSu. As you know, for LG Stylo 3 Plus, you have to press volume down and power button until LG logo pops up and release the power button and press it back until recovery mode comes out. However, for me, I keep getting factory reset screen instead. Help!!!

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official TWRP thread for your device.

I'm assuming you found out that the screen for reset is normal for this device. Just select Yes, then yes again to confirm, hold the vol.down and power again, let off only the power key right after the warning screen, press power again and hold down both keys until you see twrp splash screen :laugh:

I tired this and all it did was factory reset. I didnt get the splash screen :/ the moment I selected yes it went straight to the warning screen before I could press and hold both buttons. IT went from warning screen to the lg screen. then it said erasing... then it just rebooted normally and I had do everything all over again

That should be caused by not pulling the battery after you're in fastboot mode and you flash to the recovery. once the torque is flashed don't turn the phone off and then turn it back on or do ADB reboot or any of that. Make sure you physically open the back and pull the battery out then wait a couple seconds and put it back in and then go through with the steps no better stated above and it should work for you
full stock, unrooted, GT-P5110
... connect to odin (3.12 PC)-> uncheck auto reboot -> install twrp -> PASS -> unplug cable from usb
but all I seem to be able to do is reboot into system.
I :-
hold power button for 1 sec, 2 secs, 3 sec.... trying to just turn it off (instead of reboot)
hold vol down + power button,
hold power button + tap volume down,
just hold vol down,
tap power button (does nothing), only long press restarts.
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + tap pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + hold pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down on its own
search forum
pull hair out
type this
each time reinstalling twrp
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
thanks
To reboot to recovery you need to hold volume UP + power.

well that's strange, as, on my device, from off:
Volume UP + power takes me to download mode... I have done this several times and it asks me to confirm by then pressing down.
AND, from off
Volume DOWN + power takes me to recovery.
and doing a search, via google and xda all agree with me.
.. but thanks
I never said I couldn't get into recovery... I cannot get from odin into recovery without it first rebooting and therefore wiping my flash.
edit: So I tried it anyway, and got back into download mode, which in a way is kinda good news as, my logic, if I can get back into download mode from a reboot then I should be able to get into recovery from a reboot.
Same same but slightly different

I am having the exact same problems and tried exactly the same things. I am just not able to install twrp because of this. ( I read that it overwrites the recovery with the stock one when you are not going straight into recovery mode after installation) I am stuck at the “Samsung Galaxy note 10.1” screen if try to go straight into recovery.
What is strange though is that with my device: VOLDown (towards the power button) + Power button takes me to download mode and the other combination supposedly to the recovery mode.
This is so frustrating. Done this so many times with other devices but this one just does not give up… I just want to get rid of all bloatware and other crap…..

I am currently doing just that! Using the files from autoroot . chainfire . eu (can not post links yet haha) . I will let you know how it went!
UPDATE:
It worked! I rooted my device first. After that I flashed my recovery via the TWRP app. I also must say that my device is the GT-N8010 (p4notewifixx). I got confused of all the different models. Still I think it will work with your model aswell! Good luck!
