Typical steps to enter recovery mode not working (F350S model)
I have F350S model which I rooted, and accidentally deleted "phone" from the system apps. Was unable to make calls or texts, and I could not find any help to reinstall the deleted "phone" apk (it may not be so simple to "just re-install it", I suppose). My solution was to re-stall a fresh stock ROM (it is 4.4 kitkat),.......BUT....I cannot find any stock ROM online for this phone. So, I decided to use Lollipop upgrade (Future 3.2 ROM).
I installed Lollipop, and everything appeared to be successful. I made phone call and texts, had wifi, and was re-installing my games and social media apps. Then, suddenly, I get an error "Unfortunately, LG IMS has stopped." The error is persistent. I cannot get away from it. I say "OK" and it just comes back. I have no idea what "LG IMS" is, or why it stopped.
I figure I will just re-install the Future 3.2 ROM again and start over. I need to enter recovery mode, and the instructions to do this are one of three possible ways:
1.) Power off, then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. When startup logo appears, RELEASE, and then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons again, and then phone should enter recovery mode. But it does not! It just boots up to the "LG IMS has stopped" error, again,
or 2.) Power off, then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. When startup logo appears, release POWER BUTTON ONLY (keep holding VOLUME DOWN button, do not release), then press POWER button again. Phone should enter recovery mode, but it does not! Same as above,
or 3.) Same as above, but after startup logo appears, hold down BOTH VOLUME UP AND DOWN. But...same results. No recovery mode and boots directly to persistent error.
I'm guessing my recovery feature is screwed somehow. How do I fix this? I cannot enter recovery mode using the buttons and directions I have seen for this phone. I've tried a few other variations of button pressing too. No avail. There has to be a solution!!!

I think this is the same from F320S from my Wife.
Press and Hold Power and Volume Down When startup logo appears, RELEASE and Press and Hold Power and Volume Up
until the Korean characters Comes and a little longer

Thank for reply, but this button combo no worky, either.
If I hold down ALL THREE BUTTONS, I get a Korean screen, IMEI number with barcode, with 3 options, but I cannot tell what any of it says. I tried all 3 options, and they all just cause the phone to restart. Not sure what they do.
any further information ? I get entering the recovery problem too !
If you are using custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) to enter the recovery press and hold the POWER and VOL UP while your phone is turned off, wait for the Korean characters to appear then release the buttons.

So I did a factory reset, the tab rebooted to wipe the device, went to nvidia logo then screen went black, shuts off automatically and I can turn back on just for it to get right past the logo and shut off again, I've tried volume up with power and volume down and same thing happens. Sometimes the power won't even turn it back on for 5-10 minutes. Any suggestions?

Dumb question, but are you sure the battery is charged? I would leave it plugged in for awhile and try again. Then if it still is not booting try to enter download mode while connected to PC. Mine did something similar to this once when I did a factory reset as well. It only recovered after connecting USB to my PC.
I'm guessing you have custom recovery installed?
1. Download the factory image from NVIDIA website (specific to your device version),
2. Go into fastboot by pressing volume down and give a slight nudge to the power button (don't press until the logo comes up, just a quick nudge will do)
3. Unlock your bootloader using the instruction which can be found on this forum (if you have, skip this step) sorry I'm on mobile phone, so a bit hard to do a search for the link with small screen.
4. Unzip the recovery image zip file.
4. While still in fastboot, flash the recovery images using flash-all.bat contained in the unzipped folder.
You will lose your custom recovery and your root, but since you were gonna wipe your device anyway.. let me know if you're stuck somewhere.
I think i might have found fix....
Shut down the device with long press (8sec) Power button
Press and hold Vol down key
Press and release Power key
Device enters fastboot mode
Select Recovery mode option (using Vol up/down for navigation and power key to select)
Device enters recovery mode (after showing NVIDIA boot logo) with Android Robot screen.
Press and release Vol UP + Power button simultaneously
Then select wipe data/factory reset with Vol up/down key to navigate and power key to select
try this but be PATIENT AND wait for it to say erasing then i think ill be normal once its done also just wait with it on the "blank screen" we could have just got ahed of are selves and whent to conclusions and thought it was bricked

1) Turn off the phone completely by holding down the power button
2) Hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and boot up your phone in fastboot mode
3) Use the power buttons to navigate to recovery mode
4) You'll see a dead android with a message saying no command
5) While holding the Power button, press and release the Volume Up button once.
6) Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
7) Press the Volume Down button seven times to highlight "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.
After the reset is complete, select the option to reboot your device.
If you any problems arise, let me know
Hello
My phone stuck on safe mode and I am not able to disable it, tried many time (Restart Phone & Factory reset), but it didn't work.
So I decided to re install new firmware on it. I downloaded Odin but i face another problem.
I pressed the power + home + Volume down to get into the mode... Then i got the following message
It ask to press volume Up to start download, and volume down to cancel
but the device is not responding here, it stuck on this message and not responding to any button. and doesn't appear as "added" on Odin (The mobile hangs on this page)
The only option that works (I press power button again for long time, so it restarts)
Can you please help on this
Can you please advice

Hello All, I just recently purchased a S6 920V(64GB) from CL for 35$!!! it was advertise to have boot loop issue, however after long a tedious inspection there are four main issues i am facing. First phone refuse to power off from recovery or maintenance mode. Second Power Button does nothing, for example in recovery i am able to select options but when i press power button to send the command it does nothing, also in ROM pressing power button does not lock/unlock the phone also pressing power button does not bring up the power off and reboot menu. But i am able to go into download mode or recovery by pressing the vol^ home and power key or, maintenance mode so button does do something. Third RANDOM reboots, and random over heats. fourth crashes on updates beyond 5.1.1, like 6.0.1 MM update, i am only able to flash OK7 5.1.1 via ODIN, all the rest are met with DM -verification failed and same issue unable to select option in recovery due to power button not doing much.
So i sincerely ask you all for any help, and any help will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks
Hello, I have a big problem with rebooting to recovery mode. I can reboot to recovery only with application. If I turn my phone off and then hold volume up + power, then I get black screen with only one yellow Chinese text on the very top left side and then after 1 minute it's get into Chinese recovery.. My question is: how to get into custom recovery without using applications like for example "Quick boot".
I need it, because I have to install ROM again, because I did a big mistake, when I deleted one file from the "system" folder. Now my phone boot without problem, but after that everything is lagging and all applications stop working, then it automatically reboot phone..
I can't flash firmware with SP Flash Tool, because of Windows drivers. My laptop does not recognize the phone. It says: "Unknown USB device".. That's why I need to get into custom recovery for installing ROM.
Thank you in advance for help.
This helped:
With the phone powered off
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button
When phone vibrates release power button only.
As the No Comman Screen release all buttons.
Press and hold the power button and tap the Volume Up button.
Release the buttons. You must get into recovery mode.
