You have to press power and volume down, not up

Might need to power down. Pull battery,then press power and volume down

LOL, that was happenning to me recently (sometime yasterday). I thought that was it, the end of my Inspire, and I did VOL UP+POWER , I even trying to hook up to pc and redo the rooting, wouldn't work at on. Then google is my best friend , VOL DOWN+POWER got me back to Recovery mode, I will remember for the rest of my Android phone's life

that takes me into regular recovery not clockworkmod

Do you see an option that says Recovery after you get into hboot?

Also, make sure you don't have a PD98IMG file on the root of your SD card or it will always try to install that and not let you select recovery from the options. ( this happened to me multiple times before I realized what was going on.)

[How-To] Boot into CWR mode

Press and Hold Vol-down + 3D button
Press the power button until you see the LG logo, then release it
Continue to hold down the Vol-dwn & 3D buttons until you boot into recovery!

It's hold volume key down and power button.
So hold volume key down and then power on button, Let go off the power button when you see the lg logo and keep holding the volume down key untill screen goes blank and bingo cwr hehehe...

Even easier way. Go into ROM Manager and press reboot into recovery mode....

Yeah but if you get a bootloop you can't access Rom manager and then you need to do the hold volume button thing to get to recovery

Hi, I have a problem with my LG O3D. I have root my phone with superoneclick and then i've installed rom manager. I click on "reboot into recovery", because i wanted backup the rom but when I reboot it gets stuck on the logo LG.I tried the key combination to hard reset but does nothing. What can i do? thanks to anyone who will answer me

Don't use Rom Manager! It might not work

You'll have to do a emergency reset using the LG Mobile support tool (don't know how it's called in English, sorry)

Jup, rom manager sucks..

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144738
and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190261

I read in the comments that this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2144738 doesn't support Froyo! And the second guide requires to reboot in recovery, but my phone when i try the key combination for recovery the screen check out striped blue! I try the LG Mobile Support tool, but doesn't recognize the phone, it stopped at 4%. In download mode the pc recognize the phone...

Does indeed, I had brought to life my good ole O3D, rooted it with KingoRoot, then ran CWR, clean install.
All was fine but wanting more, I tried to upgrade to ICS with Rom Manager and that bricked the phone.

[Q] Who has Bricked their Note 10.1 besides me?

Mine is stuck on the Downloading screen, shows it has progressed all the way. No button pressing combination will change anything. .Not good at all. Used Odin to flash the the same CWM recovery everybody else is using. Looks bad here. I have rooted countless Android devices and this is my first fail. Can somebody give me any advice? I just wrecked my wife's birthday gift...

Hold down the power button to restart it.

No dice. Tried that.

If power button for 15 seconds doesn't work, try volume up (in landscape right side of volume button) + power button for 10 seconds.

Held power button down for two minutes and it woke up. Redownloaded custom recovery and flashed with Odin third time. Still get stock Android recovery. Done trying. Thanks for helping though.

I guess the word Bricked was a poor word choice... Sorry bout that. I'm leaving it alone. Thanks for the info though, seriously.

if you are still getting the stock recovery 3e follow these steps :
1. When flashing CWM through odin untick the "Auto Reboot" option within Odin.
2. Flash CWM.
3. When done , press power & volume up ( the one apart from power button ) until the Samsung logo appears, then leave both buttons.
4. CWM will appear.
5. Choose "Reboot System now "
6. You will get a new screen with an option mentioning something like " disable bla bla bla " ( can`t remember the exact words ) , press it & reboot.
7. Now if you get back to pressing power & volume up you will have a permanent CWM.
Then you can install root through CWM.

Please do not open multiple threads with the same topic you already have one with the same topic in Q&A Mod will close this one.

I had this last night. when you get to the no command page, press and hold the VOL UP key for 15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key and you should get it.

Hi! Which recovery did you flash? Both recoverys (CWM,TWRP) should actually work on KitKat.
