how do i do that..i never did it before
You can't. Either your power button needs to be working or you phone needs to actually boot up to send it into recovery
i can get the phone to boot...i just cant get into recovery
i can get to the bootloader screen i just cant select..recovery
What I meant by boot was to actually boot up the os. Not just make it to the bootloader.
so basically im ****ed??
Unless you get the power button to work you are stuck.
bump bump...anyone got any ideas!?!?!
adb reboot recovery ? Won't that work ?
Once you get into recovery you can use the bottom four buttons to navigate through recovery. If I am not mistaken Menu to scroll up, Home button to scroll down, Search to select and Back to go to the previous menu.
Anyways you can always flash from command line using fastboot.
When your power button is broke you can't scroll and select anything in fastboot. It freezes.
You can't adb reboot recovery if the phone doesn't boot up the os. Can't use any fastboot commands either cause its stuck.
He is screwed. Getting power button to work/unstick whatever you want to call it is only way.

If I am not mistaken he can boot into OS, He can go to bootloader but he just can't select Recovery because of the broken power button.
So using adb and fastboot shouldn't be a problem at all. As far CW recovery is concerned you can navigate without using power button as well

problem solved...i took the phone apart and cleaned the power button with alcohol..and it worked!!
For possible future use, you can install an app called Rebooter, which can boot your phone right into recovery.

I was able to root, install TWRP, and permanent root using adb commands to get into fastboot and recovery. What's the proper key press combo because I cannot figure this out?

1. FIRST of all, make sure that Fast Boot is off (Settings --> Power --> Fast Boot (uncheck).
2. Power off the unit.
3. While holding the volume button DOWN, press the power button. If you get the splash screen, you'll have to power off again and try again.
4. Hold both buttons for a second or two until you feel the vibration, then release the volume down button, the bootloader screen will come up.
5. Select hboot (if not already selected). Use volume button to scroll down to recovery. Press power. You will then see the splash screen (with red lettering unless you flashed an alternate hboot) and the unit will boot to recovery.
Do yourself a favor and either figure out a way to get the Advanced Power dialogue into your ROM, or download Quickboot which will do the same thing.
Oh Jebus! None of the instructions I found mentioned turning off Fast Boot. I was sitting here last night for like 10 minutes trying to get into fastboot before I was like, "adb reboot fastboot"

If you have tritium back-up you can go to menu select reboot to recovery.

See hgoldner's reply; very good walkthrough.
If you want to install a mod to get the Advanced Power Menu (APM) with additional reboot options, I used this.
Good luck. :good:

Yeah, I was looking for the key combo though, so if I ever bootloop or break something I can just restore a nandroid

First, you’ll need ADB and fastboot, which can be downloaded here. To set up ADB, go to Settings/About Phone/Software Info and tap on build number until you get a toast notification saying “You are now a developer!” You will now have a new category in Settings called Developer Options. Go into developer options and enable USB debugging and OEM Unlock. You won't be able to turn it on if your phone is plugged in to your PC. Once you've turned it on, go to your PC, open Terminal or Command Prompt and type “adb devices”. Then plug in your phone and hit enter. You'll get a prompt on your phone to “Allow connections to this PC?”. Check Always allow and Allow. Now run “adb devices” again. Your device should now appear in Terminal.
If you have a SD card, download the latest zips from here and here onto your SD card. It'll save you a step later on.
Then you'll need to reboot to fastboot by holding down VOL- and plugging in USB while power is off. Alternatively, you can type “adb reboot bootloader” in Terminal or Command Prompt.
Next, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. Bootloader unlocking will factory reset your phone! Once you're in fastboot, run “fastboot oem unlock” in Terminal or Command Prompt. Now the bootloader is unlocked.
Now it's time to flash TWRP, a custom recovery for Android. It's going to be the way you install custom ROMs and add-ons. Download Official TWRP here. Once you've extracted the recovery.zip, run this command: “fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img”. Once the file has flashed, disconnect the USB cable and battery. The next step is important! You're going to need to boot into TWRP for the first time. With the phone off, hold down VOL- and press power until the phone vibrates and the LG logo appears. While still holding down VOL-, release and immediately press and hold power. You should now be at a white screen that says “Reset all data and restore to factory settings?” Use the volume and power keys to select yes and yes again. If you've installed TWRP successfully, it won't actually factory reset your phone. Now you should see the TWRP screen. If you don't see the TWRP screen and instead see a floating ring that says “Erasing”, don't worry. Let if complete and try flashing TWRP in fastboot again.
In TWRP, you'll be greeted by a screen that says “Swipe to allow modifications?” Swipe it, then go to the Wipe tab. Go to Wipe, then Format Data, then type yes, then go to the Reboot tab and select Recovery to reboot into TWRP again. If you're prompted to install the TWRP app, don't bother.
Once you've rebooted into TWRP again, it's time to disable encryption and root the phone. Download the latest zips here and here. Skip downloading them if you already put them on your SD card earlier. On your PC, push the files to your phone using the command “adb push path/to/file.zip /sdcard/”. You can drag and drop the file into Terminal or Command Prompt to copy file path. Then go to the Install tab in TWRP and select the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, tap Add more zips, then add the root zip, then swipe to flash. Let the zips flash, then tap the Reboot System button when it's done. Your phone will take a little longer to boot and might reboot a couple times.
Once you're back in the OS, go through the setup wizard. Set up Magisk. If you stay on stock, you should install an app like Quick Reboot Pro from the Play Store to make it easier to reboot into recovery. Now reboot back into TWRP and go to the Backup tab. If you have a SD card, set it as the backup location. You can enable compression if you want. This will make a full system backup that you can restore from as long as you have TWRP. If the backup takes up too much space, you can put it in Google Drive or your PC later on.
You are now ready to install ROMs!
Thanks to @messi2050
My device will not start boot loader with command "adb reboot bootloader" or with the method of holding volume down and pugging it into the PC, it just restarts and boots like normal. i cannot even get to the stage to use the command "fastboot oem unlock"

Please explain more in detail so you can be helped better In what ways? What are you doing to get into bootloader mode? I've never had any issues on my T-Mobile Stylo 2 plus. Are you trying to get into bootloader using buttons manually or through twrp or adb?

You hold volume DOWN and power then soon as screen comes on and you see LG you let go of the power button and then immediately press power again and you never let off volume DOWN. That doesn't work?

Hey there, I've got the LG K530F, is there any chance of unlocking it? I looked up the LG developer website and it's not listed in there, filling that form will just lead to a popup regarding that. I thought about downgrading it back to MM (Android 6.0) using the K350F10d_00_02221.kdz firmware package aiming to be able to run fastboot oem unlock, but I'm afraid of getting it bricked. Anyone tried it? I recall doing something like that to unlock the LG Optimus L9, but that one was way older and had much weaker security measurements.
Can't get into Bootloader
Hi i have a LGL82VL and when trying to use adb reboot bootloader it just restarts, And when using Vol Down and Power it just comes to the factory reset page (Hard Reset)
Any ideas on how to get to the bootloader? i checked with fastboot devices while on the hard reset page and got nothing. Any Ideas?
Hey this is avi...i will not go in much details ....so for unlocking bootloader u need following things:-
1).adb and fastboot driver
2).mtk devices(optionally)
3).brain ...
4).usb cable and a connected mobile to it
5).turn on usb debugging mode and enable oem unlocking feature
So,lets start the process:-
1).Install adb driver nd fastboot drivers and go on that folder where adb is installed(default:local disk c>adb>and 4 files will be there
press shift key and right click on empty area..there u can see an option as'open command window here' click on it....u r now on cmd in adb folder.....
2).run these comands:-
>adb devices
>adb reboot bootloader
>fastboot devices
>fastboot -i 0x17ef oem unlock
(Now an popup will come which shows whether to unlock or not....some peoples complaint that they cannot select yes option by pressing volume up key....so what i found is press volume up+volume down+power button (or first press and hold volume up then press volume down+power button...)u will saw *pass* ..thats what u want)
So now ...to check whether u have unlocked bootloader or not simply do the following :
Plug out usb cable....
Restart ur device(if mobile resets then ur bootloader is unlocked or do the following...turn on developer mode abd oem unlock...restart ur device using adb(adb reboot bootloader) or by buttons (volume down+power button) and select fastboot mode........now type this command to check bootloader status
>fastboot getvar unlocked
U will see unlocked:yes.....(if not check whether all the drivers u installed,comfortably installed or not;do these steps again)
Voila ur bootloader is unlocked now.....
links r below
adb setup link:- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itSUhpUklCTFpzWkE/view

How do i do this without a computer
Devs and end users:
I need someone out there to show me how to get into fastbootd. this one completely blindsided me. I need a hand here. Can someone draft up a clear and concise tutorial? There's a donation in it for whoever helps me. If the tutorial has screen shots and an essay for a tutorial, even better. Again, donation up for grabs as soon as someone out there helps me achieve my goal.
In addition, since fastbootd is new to me, please tell me if I need to download tools and whatnot to further achieve my goal. I'm honestly resisting the temptation to buy an international oneplus 8 to get the OTA's we love so much.
I'm posting screen shots of what I've been trying to do. I'm reaching the point of saying "the hell with it" and buy an international version.
Screen shots are sequence I've been using for fastbootd.
1. home screen (boring home screen but I could care less)
2. language selection
3. menu right before choosing fastboot or stock recovery
4. fastboot or stock recovery menu
4a. I didn't post the fastboot screen because it's the same as it was (you all know what it looks like)
Damn man. I'm usually so good at these sort of things but again, I got blindsided. <scratching head in frustration and disbelief>
Thanks guys!

If you have TWRP it will only reboot to TWRP when trying to get into fastbootd. If you don't have TWRP it's very simple.
Reboot to bootloader, with your phone plugged into a computer and CMD open type "fastboot reboot fastboot" this will bring you to a menu that looks just like stock recovery it is actually fastbootd

Ok it looks like the above was right though kind of vague so let's take it from the top.
1. You are in regular homepage on phone
a. adb devices (This should show your serial # and the word, "device"
b. ADB reboot bootloader
c. Once rebooted to bootloader, "fastboot reboot fastboot" D-U-N, done.
2. Can't get into phone or soft brick
a. Turn off phone and press VOL+ and VOL- plus power button
b. Oncce in bootloader then "fastboot reboot fastboot" D-U-N, done.
Hope this helps and happy moding!

You need the latest adb and fastboot tools for this and the minimal install from xda isn't the latest it is quite a bit older so it doesn't have access to fastbootd you need to uninstall the minimal tools and get a copy of the latest ones
I don't want the donation.
Let me know if you can reboot into the bootloader by entering 'adb reboot bootloader'? If so, what happens when you enter 'fastboot reboot fastboot'?
If you can't reboot into the bootloader, what's happening there with the adb command?

download the latest platform tools from Google and unzip it into a folder and open a CMD from the folder and that way your ADB will be up to date. also fastbootd is basically stock recovery menu that's how it will appear Chinese writing options and then English on the bottom.

You are probably doing it wrong. You should be typing
Code:
fastboot getvar is-userspace
NOT just `getvar is-userspace` as @sufoalmighty said. (There is no executable `getvar.exe`. `fastboot.exe` is the program and `getvar is-userspace` is an option to it.)
