I tried selecting recovery but it just rebooted, I think it needs to be fully charged then it might let me go into recovery.

You can try this switch off the phone and hold both the volume buttons together and press power button for 5 seconds and it should get you in the boot menu then press volume down button it will highlight the recovery option and then press volume up button to select it.

Won't boot Into cwm help

I flashed a theme got stuck in a bootloop and now the phone won't go into recovery. Holding up on volume and pressing power just makes it vibrate 3 time and then the led just keeps flashing. Holding down pulls up the bootloader but it automatically starts trying to flash the radio ing. Any help please.

This happened to me, take the battery out, and put it back in.
I had to do this like 3 times before it finally booted into CWM
make sure your holding down the volume button for about 2 seconds before you press the power button.
Good luck!
Tried it about 8 times same thing just vibrated and then flashes. Anything else?

Do I have to take out battery and reboot to get into recovery mode?

If I don't take the battery out first, hit vol down and power button, nothing happens. When I release them, it will boot normally.
Is there an easy way to get into recovery mode?

That was checked. "Turn off to use some market apps".
Unchecked it. Then when you power off, it actually powers off and you can enter recovery.

Great! Thanks. Just curious, "turn off to use some mkt apps". What apps can be used when the phone is off?
im not really sure because i had a stock recovery since the 2.3.4 update but cant you just do it in rom manager?

Do you mean that in recovery it will not select items?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G running CM7/franco.Kernel
I use Fix Broken Pro widget to lock the screen and No Lock app to unlock using volume down button.
I go to recovery using adb or Rom Manager. Then use back, menu, search, home buttons to go back, Scroll Down, Select and Scroll Up respectively.
Yea I can't select options in recovery or it'll continuously select reboot bootloader and I can never get into recovery mode

I guess I need to learn to flash through adb

If you are using cwm recovery, you don't need power button. Touch buttons are enough.
In CWM, do you see a message that says back button has been disabled? Somehow last night this was happening to me but in my case I simply pulled the battery and rebooted and all was fine. If it's acting up in the bootloader though I would suspect you have a hardware issue.

When I hold volume up and the power button to boot into the bootloader I can't select reboot recovery it just keeps selecting reboot bootloader since my power button is messed up

How do I get into the stock recovery?

Friend has a HTC Sensation on T-Mobile and is having software problems. I suggested factory wiping and wiping cache in recovery.

go to boot loader ...
(power off phone ,remove battery,re insert it ,then hold volume down + power )
from there browse to recovery using vol up/down buttons and select recovery using power button
once you enter recovery ..you will have a red triangle ..if its stock ...then do a three finger salute (press vol up,down and power at once)..then you will get some options
Thank you sir!!
Also another question, is there a way to reboot (restart) the phone natively on stock? My friend is running the Official ICS OTA if that makes a difference. Or is turning off the phone and back on manually the only way? Lol.

[Q] Fastboot Question

Hi,
I have an ATT LG G3. I've got it rooted, have done a NAND backup, and am now trying to flash a new ROM. I'm trying to get into recovery either via ADB or the old fashioned way by button press, but in either case--after commanding the phone to go to recovery--I seem to get stuck in fastboot mode instead. In tiny print it will say something like "processing fastboot commands" or "fastboot mode started" and then just hangs there....forever. I have to remove the battery and then the phone boots back up normally. But I just can't seem to get into recovery anymore.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Frustrated Noob
Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off.
Press and hold ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons together and release them as soon as you see the LG logo on your phone’s screen.
Now immediately press and hold the ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons again until you see the ‘Hard reset screen’
Press power button once, and then again to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone won’t hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.
Get the app quickboot. Doesn't work with lollipop yet though.

Thanks for replying. If you mean the "factory data reset" prompt, that just brings me to the fastboot screen again. Just tried it. Unless you're referring to another option???

Got it and used the recovery button to reboot, but I'm right back into the fastboot hang screen again.

Sound like u didn't install the bumped twrp. Just download the bumped twrp from the development thread and use flashify to flash it. Easiest way. Or u could follow there instructions. But flashify is easier. If u did already do this. Then I don't know why it's not booting into twrp recovery.
