Anyone knows how to enter recovery mode on Optimus one?
vol down + home + power
aint working on mine...
I tried vol down + home + power when my phone was switched off and voila, it got reset . Does not matter much as I am playing with it and shoud be ready for consequences But this is not what I expected to see.
What did I do wrong? I tried using vol down + home + power when phone is ON unlocked/locked both, did not do anything.
Install the custom recovery, then the 3-button-combo should work.
With stock firmware, I think you can't enter recovery...

I am hearing this (Custom Recovery) for first time, I don't know how I missed it. :| Thanks, will try that too.
I was having the same problem, so I downloaded on Google Play the "Rom Recovery", inside app I download the Recovery.
Fine, now [ Home + volume donw + power ] enters into custom recovery.
Reboot into Recovery
You first have to install Custom Recovery, The easiest way is to download Rom Manager and flash recovery from there (your phone should be rooted for that).
After the recovery is successfully flashed, you can reboot into recovery from there itself (there is an option for that).
Or if you want to manually reboot into recovery, shut down the phone and press and hold Power + Vol up + Home keys.
If it didn't work, again shut down the phone, turn on the phone and as soon as you see the LG logo, press and hold Vol UP/DOWN + Home keys (no need to press or hold the Power key).
Guys, i was having the same issue on mine. Luckly i'm as dumb as i am smart and i kept trying... What happened on mine was that i was using the custom recovery named "TWRP - 2.8.3".. Specifically in this version, the shortcut keys combo to access the recovery mode is with Vol UP+home+power. Hope i have helped you! See ya!

Oh the irony of calling me idiot and you don't realize this is a post from 14th February 2011. duh.
I ended up trying at least 10 roms until I finally went back to stock V20 from LG which worked best of all in long run. Later bought multiple android devices like HTC M8, LG G4, V10 etc. and played with them.
Also I was new at the time of the comment, starting with my first android phone and all. Just thought I would try whatever I could find to play with the phone. Also my post clearly shows I understood the risk and was amused at my stupidity myself.

?
I seemed to have bricked my Nexus S 4g, I unlocked the bootloader, and had MIUI running on there for some time with no problems, I took the rom off and started to run with just stock android. I ran into an issue when i tried to use an application that would change the system fonts, Fontchanger, and now the phone will not even reach the nexus s loading screen but instead gets immediately stuck at the first image screen showing the Google logo. When i hold the volume up and power button i can get into the boot menu, but when i try to get into the recovery menu i just get the triangle with the exclamation mark logo. Can anyone help me out with this one?
BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP In a similar situation, flashed the wrong rom ran the OTA and wiped out recovery & USB.
Press Power and Volume Up Button in recovery mode and you will get options to clean things up. Did the same in morning and got it when accidentally pressed.

Hmmm....After holding power and vol down the android screen should pop up. Then release the buttons and it should go into the menu. I have no idea why the recovery did not successfully install.
Have you used the one-click method before on the G2x?

Well crap...that sucks. Maybe the partitions got messed up. A few people have had that issue. It can create all sorts of trouble. Or it could possible an ext 3 vs ext 4 issue depending on what rom you had and what you restored. It will take someone a lot more knowledgeable than myself to help you. Good luck.
Take battery out put it back in then hold volume down and power
i did that but ever since i flash the rom on the recovery to if it help to flash partition on it the phone die completely it would not do anything and stays on a black screen.
it wont even try to bootup
anyways i tried several methods and non of them worked other than ****ing it up more.
so i just called tmobile and asked for a replacement and it should be here tomorrow.
thanks to all the tried to help
It's not bricked. It turns on and boots. Just clear the Dalvik Cache in Clockworkmod Recovery.

Then use the One Click Recovery Flasher in APX mode to reflash recovery, then try to go into recovery again by turning on while holding the volume down key. If that doesn't work then find the method for flashing the Gingerbread ROM in APX mode. If that doesn't work I have no other suggestions for you.
I'm in the same situation with my G2x. Were you able to fix it? If so, how?
Update: Got it fixed. As jcbofkc recommended, doing the OneClick NvFlasher got me back up and running. Thanks!

man i used one click recovery the the phone just got dead completely. before i did that i only could see the lg logo and that sit. then it just got black and wouldnt turned on at all. it was a good thing i got insurance on it so i order a replacement it only cost me 5 bucks and got the other one.
I started kies and after connecting my Galaxy FIT, I started upgrading the firmware it showed. Then it stopped and asked for emergency recovery. I did it, but it stopped again and phone got switched off and after that it is only showing a error sign with yellow triangle between a PC and mobile. It is not showing anything else though I have tried switching off and taking out battery. It is not working at all, just the error sign. Please help.
Sounds like a "soft Bricked" phone.
Can you boot in to download mode?
Press Volume Down + Home Key (middle button) + Power Button at the same time.
If the phone boots you into download mode (a yellow triagle with a digging android) with words "Downloading"....
Then you can still revive your phone.
this happened to me once..but later i tried pulling off the battery and restarting the sysytem...
try to take off the battrery and plug it again and try to go in DOWNLOAD MODE!..(i did it 2 or 3 times)
..and its definitely not a "SOFT BRICK" '!!
galaxy fit + CM7.1 (2.3.7) + 801Mhz
same happened to me
when first i flashed cyanogen 7.1 , 2.3.7 it happened to me, i just give tha droid a factory reset then following the instructions i flashed the rom from sd card via recovery then when reboot , just came up the cyanogen logo then tha lil letters(android) but just sttoped there no more, i taked out the lbatt, twice, then the alert logo came up......i was so scared.....sh-t !
but then i just remember to go to download mode pressing home , volume + and on/off then i reflash via odin but nothin happened, then y reestart the fir then i try to open in recovery i pushed home key and on/off and the cyanogen recovery just started i gave the phone again not only a data factory reset but, cache and the battery and everything i could reset, then i do it again thru recovery i flased the cyanogen and at las it works, i think like richard says was a soft bricked, try everything , via odin, via recovery.......
i thanks neil cause he helped me a lot!!!
Hey ppl.
I got a Nexus S and his power button does not work for a week now. Since i got it still on warranty i decided to get it to samsung service.
I was using SlimBean so it was ok with volume rocker as a wake the device action. Since Samsung wanted the phone to be stock and locked i decided to do it. I found the stock rom, i flashed it, and here is when the problem started. I flashed the rom the way i flashed every other "custom" rom, via ClockWorkMod. Then, trying to also lock the bootloader i found this. I installed the device drivers again etc etc and when the program says "Checking Fast Boot Status" everything stops. The phone is not responding (can't move up and down with volume roker) and i have to pull the battery to reset it. Thankfully when i put the battery back in the phone starts up itself so no need for power button
So what can i do? Whats wrong with my bootloader?? Is there any way to install a custom recovery again, to have a rom with volume key unlock and leave the power button as it is? (reminder : phone is back to stock and no superuser, cwm or anything)
Appreciate any help !
