[Q] Reboot into Recovery Problem - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just upgraded my hero from official 2.1 to froydvillain 1.7.0,
I used ROM Manager to finish this upgrade. Everything gets fine.
And now, I decide to update to 1.7.1 and 1.7.2.
The problem I am now facing is...
when I click "Reboot into Recovery"...
my phone will not reboot into Recovery anymore, but only stop at a screen with the word HERO...
Anyone could help? I successfully enter Recovery Mode when my first time of upgrade. I dont know why I cant this time. So I cant do any upgrade or flash another rom. Please help. Many thanks.

I think there are two other ways to enter in recovery mode.
1. Press and keep pressed HOME button while powering the phone on.
2. Enter in HBOOT (press and keep pressed vol down button while powering the phone on) and select Recovery option.
I hope this helps you.

Urgent help needed, tried recovery mode

Hi,
I tried to put my hero in recovery mode. So I turned off the phone, then pressed menu key and power button, then I released power button and kept holding menu button. Icon with exclamation mark inside triangular and a phone appeared and I can't do anything. I can't turn it off or anything. What is going on? Please help.
Just take the battery off the hero and insert it again.
man dude, turn off the crank. your phone won't do anything without power, so just pull the batt...
btw, where did you read menu+power? never heard of that. recovery is home+power.

I think menu+power is fastboot
Thanks for your replies.
My mistake, it was not power+menu, but power+home. Why I don't have recovery mode and I get screen with icon instead?

[Q] Screen flickers at boot

As soon as I boot I get random lines / flickering unable to read screen. I cannot tell if I get in the recovery screen. Based on the noises I can tell it boots up. Since I can't read the screen at all, the software side will have to be done on my win 7 machine. Is there anything I can do?
I don't know the Kernel number or android build, etc. As I bought this on ebay.
Probably your build. I bought mine off of eBay too, broken though, and repaired it.
The first cm10 Rom I installed had that problem where it'd look like a static t.v. channel upon booting sometimes or it would just randomly do so while on. Resetting would be the only way to return the screen back to normal. Now two builds later, I have yet to re-experience that issue.
So I'd say keep resetting with volume down and power to get into recovery and install a new rom. The previous owner probably had a bad flash and wasn't able to restore the screen condition.
If that still doesn't work, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe you can rescue your tab with a factory reset using ADB, as long as you get into download mode.. which should be the first option on the right when launching the tab into recovery.
If you're unfamiliar with ADB like me, I can give you the steps in number counts to get your device into recovery and hard reset it.. like: click volume up once and hit power, hit volume down 4 times then power etc.

This probably will depend on the recovery that you have installed on the tablet, whether it's stock or custom.
This method is for clockwork recovery (CWM):
To get into recovery:
-Hold volume down + power buttons and release the power button once the "Galaxy Tab 10.1" logo shows (should be the first screen to even show). Continue holding volume down for a few more seconds and you should then be at a screen where you choose from download mode or recovery.
-Volume down
-Volume up
Once in recovery:
-Volume up 2x
-Power
-Volume down 5x
-Power
Your device should now be factory restored so you can just hold the power button until it restarts. If that still doesn't fix the issue, I'll look up the stock recovery procedure and you can try that.
Remember, volume UP is the 3rd button on the top left corner of the device and volume down is the second.

Phone keeps rebooting, cannot get into download mode

I had the phone on the newest PAC-MAN nightly, and I rebooted to my recovery (CWM 6.0.4.4) and flashed another recovery (TWRP 2.7.1) However, after I flashed it and went to reboot to recovery, it would not boot, simply vibrate until the first Samsung sign flashes, and then reboots. I cannot reboot into recovery, and trying to put it into download mode just does the same thing. Is there any way to someone force it into download mode so I can flash stock or anything? Thanks so much
I believe it's Volume up + Power to get it straight to download mode.
Your power button is stuck so it keeps resetting. Try flicking the back of your phone by the power button with your finger.

[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...)

UPDATE:
I'm now able to get into recovery mode!
However i can't mount usb.
Same problem

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] Unusual Booting

Started out with Z4, updated to Z8. I tried this with TWRP installed after making both EFS backup and regular nandroid backup, installed fine. I made sure to use the recommended partition zips. Here's the ROM I used. However after turning my phone off it will turn on into safe mode (lollipop) in limited, seemingly random instances. I have yet to access recovery. However, the one part I know that I screwed up is I installed xposed (forgot to install the xposed helper), so I receive unlimited errors for that and can't do anything.
I've tried rebooting my phone normally, rebooting into recovery, and cutting all of my losses and flashing back to stock. Any advice? I'm trying to follow the directions here to revert back to stock, but my computer will only recognize an unrecognized device.
Thanks for the help!
Flash the rom labeled "BarePop_TE_V1 " it has the files need to fix your issues (make sure to thank @engine95). Heres the link to the rom it is pretty much a debloated version of that lollipop rom you were running:http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/barepop-zv8-t3035551
That reboot problem you are having is because of a bug with the stock rom so just flash that one to fix everything.
I appreciate the help, however my main problem still lies with the fact that I can't access recovery. I've gotten it to where I can reboot normally (albeit I still can't do anything due to the constant errors), but holding pwr+vol down and then letting go and reclicking those once the lg sign comes up won't let me into recovery. Do you have any advice for that? Thanks again for the help!

I've had similar issues in the past trying to boot into recovery and the method you said (vol down+power then let go and press again when LG logo comes up) also wouldn't work for me. Have you tried just holding it down and not letting it go until you see "Recovery Mode"? That actually worked for me.

I've tried doing that a few times as well, it just boots up as normal at that point. I'm welcome to trying anything though so if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

I don't know why it worked this time... but it worked on my second attempt! I have access! Only issue is the touchscreen is messed up on the ROM, but it works!
With all of these issues you may want to flashtool back to ZV4 and reroot or ZV8 your call.

Not to be redundant, but my understanding is the only way it will go into recovery from full off is to keep holding power+vol down until you see "recovery mode", if you let up on the buttons before you see recovery mode it will simply reboot.
When rooting an ATT G3 I could not for the life of me get it to boot into recovery using the button combo, instead I just used adb reboot recovery instead, worked every time, to this day the guy can only reboot to recovery from within rom, gonna suck if he gets soft bricked.. My Sprint G# holding the buttons works like a charm
When I want to boot into recpvery I always have to do volume + power up until the lg logo comes up then let go and press them again. Then I have to press the factory reset button and click yes. For me and I guess others when you hold volume + powerdown you just end up going into safe mode. If you end up always having problem just download a app that can make your phone reboot itself or download terminal and run:
su
reboot recovery
That always works because it is built into the phone.

For me if I go into recovery by volume down + power. It just goes into recovery.
If I'm using phone, i use terminal command. su -c reboot revovery
I'm using ls990 gold edition.
