Cant enter recovery mode, need help! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, ive spent about 6 hours searching google, watching videos on youtube and i still can't access the recovery mode on my t595 vibrant. I tried the 3 button mode, but that makes the vibrant logo loop indefinitely until i release a button.
I tried the volume up and down, and power button but it does nothing, it just boots straight into the tmobile phone, please help as i really need to install that lag fix with root. Hope someone can help as its driving me nutz. Thanks
Btw im on android 2.1, and did that kies j6 thing.

If you have ADB setup
adb reboot recovery
should work.

Phone keeps booting in safe mode

Hi all my phone has some how only boots in Safe Mode for some reason. I'm running CM7 and whenever I boot my phone it doesn't go past the LG logo unless I press a button. However, whenever I press a button it takes me straight to safe mode. I've used Xiaona custom recovery to fix the boot load but that doesn't work either. I'm quite confused and discouraged because I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. None of my buttons are stuck IMO. I've search endlessly for solutions but have forum none, for most people, rebooting their phone takes them out of safe mode, that unfortunately isn't the case for me.
I've spent probably 8+ hours fooling around, I only got this phone yesterday so you can just imagine going from a beginner who knows nothing to having to use ADB commands and stuff to try and fix their phone. I'm finally ready to ask or beg for help. Please help me
Just wanted to say I've fixed this issue by holding down ALL 4 of the face keys on the phone while it was booting up. You have to hold them down until the phone is completely booted up. However, this is the only way I know how to fix it, unfortunately I have to do this everytime I boot my phone but I don't turn my phone off much so I'm happy as long as it's working.

[Q] At&T Lg G2 can't access recovery mode

So I just got a new G2 with at&t that came installed with kitkat (g2 D800.)
Yesterday, the day I got it, there was an OTA to D80020u which had the Knock Code security feature. Anyways I'm trying to root my phone so I can add a volume mode to boost the headset volume levels. I was able to root the device using this method:
[forum won't let me post outside links but it was a andromod website with directions on rooting a g2 D80020u kitkat with IOroot script tested for 25r1 if that helps at all]
So yay its rooted, superuser permission and all. So I go to install the volume mode I was looking into and attempt to restart the phone in recovery mode by holding down the volume down + Power button until LG logo pops up then release and hold again.
Unfortunately now it won't load recovery mode so I'm unable to flash stuff onto the phone (at least to my knowledge). Instead of recovery mode it shows a black screen with white text saying:
[440] Fastboot mode started
[550] ---reset---
[560]---portchange---
[630]---reset---
[640]---portchange---
[740]fastbootrocessing commands
and thats hit. It wont do anything while in this mode but I can hold down the Power button and restart the phone and have it boot up like normal and run. I can access download mode by pressing Volume up while device is powered off.
Am I going to have to restock to stock? or is there some easy fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Sorry guys, total newb here. I derped pretty hard on this. Rooted the device and didn't install a custom recovery before trying to access recovery mode. Went with Teamwin and everything works as intended. Sorry for the waste of a post.

[Q] UMI X3 boot loop...

Hello! I don't know where i should post this since the UMI X3 device isn't on this site, so i just post it here...
I installed a custom rom, now it's bootlooping.
If i turn it on it will show the little boot splash screen, then the screen will go black and usually it would show the boot loading screen but it doesn't, it reboots again to the boot splash screen.
I tried searching on google, but none of the forum posts actually helped me.
I try to holds down the power button and the volume up button at the same time, but it will just do the same bootloop thing.
The home button is a touch button, and i actually already tried holding down on that but it didn't work.
I also tried holding power button and volume down, and i tried holding all the buttons down at once (power + volume up and down)... also no succes.
Now it used to work, i got into some chinese bootloader before i installed this rom.
So, basicly it won't get into any recovery. I did install clockworkmod recovery actually and it did work, yet i needed to launch it via mobile uncle tools to get into it. I think im totally ****ed now...
Pleace, is there ANY way to solve this problem?
Problem in a nutshell:
Boot looping splash screen, can't get into recovery mode. (PS: i also tried to connect it via USB but it won't find my phone...)

I'm now able to get into recovery mode!

Hi Kyriano,
I have the same problem after installing the cynogenmod, does your phone work now. How did you get in the recovery mode??
posible solution
Hi,
After struggling with this issue all day i found a quite simple solution.
The cause of the bootloop in my case was the simcard. So this is what i did:
1. remove simcard tray
2. Turn the phone off and on
3. If everything is ok the bootloop stopped, if not try to reboot again
4. Download mobileuncle in the playstore
5. Open the app click on; into recovery mode
6. Recovery will open and then hopefully you made a backup.Restore it and voila!
If you did not make a back try to flash the official umi ROM.
I hope this solved your problem to.

[Q] LG Access LTE (L31L) Stuck on boot screen and wont go into recovery mode

Hey guys im new to this thread and a website said to see if you guys could help me. Well basically I tried to make my music louder on my android and it didnt like that. Now it wont boot or go into recovery and to make things worse, i made it go into charge only mode a long time ago. Since i cant open it or view files since its on charge only mode. I think im screwed. Is there any way i can fix this? Thanks a lot for anything. I tried to hard reset and all of that but it goes into a black screen then just goes back to the LG loading screen. It basically just loops itself everytime i try to enter recovery. It gets stuck on the tracfone page. This is a straight talk phone. Its the LG Access LTE L31L. Ive looked everywhere and havent found anything that works and thought that you guys would hopefully help me. Is it just a paperweight or is it fixable? Thanks!
In the computer the phone isent reconized as anything??
I found one in a car I just bought, has the lock for PIN enabled and cannot enter phone.
Tried all the reset options found on web, nothing brings me to recovery, searched the forums here for this model phone, nothing found.
Tried Volume Down + Power, released Power when LG logo appeared for 3 seconds then pressed and held, it would reboot sometime long sometimes short, but would not enter recovery, tried both volumes up and down, volume down and home button, every combination I could find...
I had a SIM card for a tracfone that was active and wanted to see if this phone would accept it...
Any other tricks available? Computer dings that it sees the phone, but since I cannot get past PIN screen I cannot choose what function USB should be and nothing is seen in Windows Explorer.
Any LG master files to force open the phone through the PC when locked like this or ???
Sorry to hijack or open an older thread, but not much action here for this model phone...

[SOLVED] Have i bricked my phone, or is there a way to fix it?

I had recently installed evolution x, everything worked fine, but i stupidly hit the update button today and now im stuck on the twrp splash screen...
When it turns on i get the galaxy s9 plus splash screen then the twrp 3.5.2_9-0 splash screen.
I am not able to turn the phone off with the power button, i have to hold both volume down and power to restart it.
I have also left the phone overnight just incase it needed a bit of time but no luck, still just stuck on the twrp splash screen.
I have tried many hardware button combinations with no luck. I am unable to see the device on adb or fastboot, and i am unable to see the device when plugged in to install drivers for odin.
How do i fix this? (To be clear i dont care about the data on the phone, it is backed up but the phone is currently a paperweight in this state)
Edit [SOLVED]:
After weeks of googling i was able to find one thread for a different phone with a slightly different problem that said letting the phone run out of battery let them boot into download mode and it worked, as soon as i plugged in the phone and held the button combination i was able to get into download mode and install a later twrp version.
Hopefully other people can find this solution faster than i did
I am still looking for information on this if anyone has any.
I have also had to let the phone run out of battery and am hoping that doesnt make things worse.
