Hello,
I have accidently put my phone into recovery mode and i can not exit from it. Rebooting and powering off and on doesnt solve anything, it opens to recovery mode again.
I believe that it happened since i hold the power button too long and accidently pressed volume button at the same time. I have checked a lot but couldnt find how to fix. Since i havent backed up my pictures yet, i want to know that if there is a way to exit from this mode without deleting my pictures? I couldnt understand if installing from adb (ı dont know what it does) or fastboot to reboot will delete my data? In addition, i havent been able to install the latest update since my phone didnt have enough memory. Could this situation be related to that? Sorry for asking lot of questions but i am really worried since i dont have any service to have it checked up .
Plsz help
Thank you

Hello Mr. Ak,
Thank you for your reply. Thats why im worried cuz i was not doing anything in recovery. I believe it came up since i accidently hold power button too long and i might have been press volume button meanwhile. So i went there by mistake. Also is it possible that the reason that i cannot reboot is that i wasnt able to upgrade the lastest ver. due to lack of memory .
I have never done flashıng and i actually dont know what it means. I have chacked online that it says it is installing an operating system in a phone.
But the problem is ı havent changed the settings of my phone to usb (it only charges through usb)and i wish i had done that. Is there anything possible i can do now?

Hi everyone I am a newbie when it comes to rooting phone and installing a Roms, I recently rooted my S3 and everything went smooth except my WIFI did not work so after so research it seemed as if I did not do it correctly but i followed all the steps. So i decided to try a new Rom I put the Rom on my S3 rebooted into recovery and wiped the phone and the cache as well. I then loaded the Rom that I downloaded from XDA and showed to work with my S3. I used Clean ROM 5.6 and I am sure I jacked something up. Well after I went through the install it went back to my recovery screen and looked like it was asking me to update my sd zip file or something so I updated it and restarted my phone. I am now getting the message "System software not authorized by verizon Wireless has been found on your phone". I thought that the SU privileges were removed or somehow the phone became unrooted so I tried to re-root my S3 and everything shows to go through successful but I cannot get passed this screen, I can get to download mode but i cannot get to recovery at all, I am not sure what I jacked up but its jacked. Any help would be greatly appreciated very much Thanks.
so you say that you cannot open your recovery? try pressing home button, volume up, and power button all at once. try this, if it does not work,i have some more
tricks up my sleeve!!

I hope you made a backup... first try dirty flashing whatever rom you were using and see if you can save any of your data.. if not, sorry.. Flash to stock and start over, making sure you are wiping caches properly before installs..
This phone was bought to repair, but the problem is that theres nothing on screen, i cant see anything, also its a XXKB3 version so actually Im searching for firmware to put on it :/
and i think that its f*cked, cant get to data thru fastboot, cant flash anything, crap...

Are you able to use the power button to "kind of" reboot? (like, it doesn't actually start up, but it still responds to the power button)

You replied to your own post, so...
P.S. I am not at liberty to share that information. Why do you need it?
The instructions to factory-reset your a800:
1. Press together : POWER + VOLUME UP about several second, a warning will appear onscreen.
2. Choose "Reset Device".
3. Reboot.
You should be back to stock and your problem fixed.
tried that!

I recently decided to upgrade to 4.4.4 kit kat.
Really dont know a lot about phones, but I've been working with computers for so long I thought it would be easy.....Little did I know....
Basically I used CMW? to flash the rom after checking using a root checker that my phone was definitely rooted. After trying to flash the phone turned off, and is now stuck in a permanent loop from the lg logo to a little green robot. When I plug it into the computer the time between each loop isn't long enough to do anything with it, and the recovery menu just wont work !
I should say when I hold volume down and the power button all I get is a hard reset option, and even when I do it nothing changes.
I really dont know what to do to break the loop, Please help!
The phone is an LG optimus g pro f240...all this for a transparent information bar >.>

No I didn't, but even if I did I cant use it. The phone has no recovery menu at all. Wont even charge so the time I have to fix it is limited. 40% battery left atm.....really stressed, its brand new.

Whew. At least you have an sdcard slot, that gives us hope!
You'll need an sdcard adapter. Plug your sdcard into your PC, and write the appropriate ClockworkMod image for your device to the sdcard. Plug your sdcard back into your phone, and reboot, but ONLY use the power button, nothing else.
You should be successfully booted into CWM. Write back for more instructions if that works.
And don't forget to thank my posts if I helped!

Ok I checked cwm and I cant find a rom for my phone !
Pretty confused. I'd like to return to the stock mod is that possible?
What is the "stock mod"?
EDIT - Just found this site, it may be of use to you: Hard Reset LG Optimus G Pro f240.
I tried all that, nothing doing.
The original rom was kit kat 4.4.2 I think...maybe 4.4.1
Any chance they might work?
Going back to 4.4 would be the best idea in my opinion.
The question is how!
shouldn't there be some sort of management suite for LG? sony has pc companion, and last night i found myself in the exact same situation as you, and i was able to repair my phone, because i messed it up and it was boot-looping.

Yeah there is, but the boot loop is so short, a few seconds really, that I dont have time to do anything. The computer never registers is.
I tried everything I can think of....even with the sd card in nothing happens.....Just goes from the green robot trying to repair off then back to the lg logo then back to the green robot....sigh, is it possible to be perma boot looped?
I always read that when the phone is turning on there is hope. Looks really unlikely for me.
So I guess i followed an outdated tutorial! My phone ever since the ota update months ago destroyed my battery life felt sluggish and constant reboots. Today i followed a tutorial to install rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery so I can delete dalvik cache. On reboot i get "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”
So now after I realized that the bootloader is locked,
1) Is there a way I can get my phone to work again.
2) But MOST importantly, did I completely screw up and lost any of my pictures saved on the phone?
I'm posting here because everything I look up online is either outdated or I am afraid to break things more. So I would like someone to help me.
Thanks.
P.S. Im pretty sure I had the newest OTA which is 4.4 i think. And the phone was Rooted with towelroot. I can also boot into downloading mode.
Update: Ok so I pressed down + home + power to download mode but this time I pressed Down to cancel and the phone booted to my homescreen. I'm kind of scared to never ever restart my phone. Is my data safe? why booting this way work?
Thank you.

On the newest kk OTA you can't run a custom recovery other than safestrap. Unsure if your data is safe at this point since you've created a soft brick

well I don't think this is a soft brick since now I can boot like normal. If I shut off the phone and restart it it boots fine. The only thing now is if i press home +power +up i get that message. So not sure how to delete the recovery and undo what i did.

You will have to Odin back to stock that's basically your only choice. And if it was a hard brick your phone wouldn't work at all

If you can get into recovery and make a backup it's worth a shot. And yea I understand what you mean about battery drain. I love my S3 and I will probably never get rid of it. Try to get into recovery if you can and if not we will go from there
