Can anyone of you help me because i think i need to do a factory reset, but now it stuck in boot loop and it does not have a key combination to go into recovery mod. Help

Noone answer till now...

There is a key combination. Search it on google. How to boot lg optimus (your model) into recovery. Once in wipe data then wipe cache
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

From searching other forums and google I found the following:
You can enter update mode by removing the battery, then while holding down the VOL + button plug in your usb cord(i assume while it's connected to your computer).
Then you can search the forums here and find:
[LG P970] Upgrade Kit 3.5
(the title is longer than this i just didn't put it all in here due to laziness)
This should help you in your quest of retrieving your phone from light up paperweight status. I don't really know though. Since I've never used your phone. Good luck.

recovery mode
you need to press the home button,volume -, and power,
to enter to the recovery mode.

The Home key is actually the touch key on the Optimus Black..it's not a button but a touch input
The combination is the same as above :good:

Doesn't work when you power up your device with those keys.
Power on your device before you press the key combination.
Took me a frustrating half an hour to find out...

tried to get into recovery with the instructions, but a straight boot!
BTW I am on stock gingerbread ROM rooted!

power up your phone, then press and hold vol down + home key and then also press and hold the power button until the phone restarts. then it should boot into recovery.
btw i made a small video tutorial

power up your phone, when the buttons start to blink (or the cm logo appears or whatever boot logo you have) press and hold vol down then press power button (home key is not really needed like the video ) . it also works on stock rom if you have a recovery installed.
note that it won't work at the early bootup when the lg logo appears or when android is booted and ready.

It takes me in safe mode, i'm not even sure what it is (I guess is something similar to window's? It has less apps when I am in safe mode!
I'm not sure what to do, I tried to reboot in recovery mode with the ROM manager but it doesn't work (nothing of the ROM manager works actually).
Any ideas on what safe mode is?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I tried this app to reboot in recovery mode
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
It rebooted the phone, the android robot showed up with some stuff turning in the stomach (like this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Android_Update_Screen.JPG) and then it turned on normally except that all my data now is gone (which is not a problem since I wanted to wipe it from the recovery mode, the problem is that I still can't get into recovery mode!
P.S.: it wouldn't let me post normal links because I'm a new member, I hope I didn't break any rule posting them like this! (after all it's not spam!)

Bootloop!!!!!
Directly from the NB's ICS OP
NOTE: If you get in boot loop during first install, DONT panic.
Remove battery. Hold Vol Down + Home + Power Key. You will enter new recovery mode. Flash the ROM again.
Some users (having Froyo Bootloader) need to press Vol Up Key instead of Home Key to get in Recovery.

should i press the keys after removing and putting the battery again?
Try a few combos. You ultimately want to get back into recovery mode to reflash.
what are the comboos please help me '
Combos to get into recovery:
1. Gingerbread Boot loader: Vol Down + Home + Power Key (That's what neo's OP says) or Volume Down + Power Button (Elsewhere I've heard that combo, so try both. Can't test myself because I have Froyo Boot loader and running MIUI)
2. Froyo Boot loader: Both Volume Keys + Power Button
Ultimately you can enter download mode and use Odin to flash to stock. You can enter download mode using Power+Vol.Up

or as soon as the loop shuts off screen and is about to start again ( black screen followed by vibrant) quickly press up and down volume and hook usb cable up...( you can be already pressing up and down) works like a charm for me....have fallen into that boot loop thing once to many times....but theres always time for once more lol...

[Q] Can't Boot Into Recovery Mode

Hello, feeling like a total noob here, I was just going to start up with rooting my DNA to run Cyanogen but I can't get it to boot into recovery mode. I've done it a million times on android phones, but the standard power button and volume down button combo doesn't do anything and the phone just boots normally... does anybody know what I am doing wrong?
I obviously already tried the volume up button and power button as well...
Thank you in advance.

You need to hold both volume buttons and power to boot into hboot. from there, use the volume keys to navigate to the "recovery" option, and use power to select it. Then it will boot into ClockworkMod or TWRP, whichever you have installed.

Actually it is volume down and power into Hboot. Both volume buttons and power gets you into safe mode.

not sure if i will be of any help or you already figured it out. but what once worked for me is to press power as soon as you see sony logo right away let go and hold volume up only. but quick like. than continue to hold volume up. if not try volume down same direction. i think the button changes if your rooted.

Thanks for reply. When should I do that combination? While the phone is off or while is stuck on this screen? How long should I hold power key? Just for a second or until something happens?

Same thing, it got booted up in Android but this time it says "Safe mode" in the bottom left corner (can't remember if it said that last time).
Power off ur phone before following the above key combination and wait until the screen turns back on.
Don't understand you, but I think you should go to download mode and reinstall TWRP.

It should be: Turn Off Your device.
Now Press and Hold Volume Down+Power button for 2-3 Seconds Until LG Logo Appears.
Release the Buttons And Press and Hold them Again.
Hold the Buttons until the Recovery Mode Screen Appears.
Now You Are in the Recovery mode of Your device.

This may work too but the way I've done it and the way I've seen it explained is to "release the power button and press and hold it again, while leaving the volume down button pressed the entire time".
