In my infinite wisdom, I tried to create my own custom theme, and in the process totally screwed myself.
I was using Infected 3.5 as my ROM with the Anthrax Kernel and everything was peachy. I tried to make an install a custom lock ring...and got all jacked up. Basically my phone turns on, goes to my wallpaper and does nothing else. I have a status bar up top, but it wont pull down, and none of the buttons on the phone work at all. Holding down the power button in order to get to the reboot menu does nothing. OH, when I do reboot, the phone asks me to allow access to Sense????
How do I get back into the recovery console to reflash the phone? thanks in advance
Remove the battery, then press and hold the power button + volume down. Then choose recovery, and re-flash the rom/kernel.
adb reboot recovery

I just flashed this 2.01.605.0- Basic Debloat ROM. There's an error when I click the phone and an error when I try to get on to markplace. How do I get back to recovery? I don't have ROM manager and I cant get to marketplace to download. Realized the hold power and vol down only works on bamf. Please help.
try holding vol up and powering up at the same time.
Also, does your rom have the reboot into recovery when you try to power down and select restart?
Hold power+volume down is how you get to hboot. It is not rom specific. So boot your phone holding Power and Volume Down then select Recovery in the list you are presented with and hit Power.
Also make sure you don't have fast boot enabled, if you do pull the battery then power+volume down. If all else fails "adb reboot recovery" will get you there from adb.

LOL that's the first thing I did. Now I realized it wasnt fully shutdown. I was wondering why it booted so fast. Nice little scare there, thanks guys
I messed up flashing a ROM, so it gets stuck on the M logo screen. When I tried to fastboot it, it says low battery. Am I out of luck? Been looking around and couldn't find anything that was helpful to my situation.
try leaving it pluged in with the original charger and cable for a while to see if battery status changes.

I've considered the Factory Cable method for a while, and thought it was too much of a hassle.
Try going into the motorola recovery (power+both volume buttons) and then do a full wipe.
Then Reboot and (if you installed it) you should boot back into CWM recovery.
From there do a backup restore. Reboot. The phone will still boot into Flashboot, but if you turn it off it should charge normally.
I had the same issue as you and somehow these steps allowed me to get the phone charged again.
I then used RSDlite and Fla**** to bring me back to the last OTA
Turn off the phone. Press power button and volume + and volume - the same time, hold 3 sec it will show up a menu.
Use volume - to navigate down to "recovery" then press volume + to choose.
When the phone shows android robot with a triangle, press volume + and volume - the same time.
You will enter recovery menu.

Yup, I've seen and done all of this. All I see is
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
Should I put the fastboot file sd card and select the second option? I have yet to try that
Im sure it has been asked but i couldnt find it. I push volume down and power button and the home button button and all them flash but no recovery. My phone is currently stuck on the htc beats audio screen and would like to get it going again. So if somone has an idea on how to get it booted with a different rom without getting to recovery would be great.

u hold volume down and power till the bottom lights flash.. keep holding them and they will stop flashing the phone will shut off.. then what i do is i take my finger off the power botton for like 1 sec.. put it back on.. hold it till the bootloader screen should pop up.. then u can get into recovery from there.. works everytime
evo401's method is pretty fool-proof. However if it doesn't work you can always try plugging your phone into your computer and see if adb detects it (adb devices) if it does simply send it a reboot command (adb reboot recovery) that should automatically force it to reboot to the recovery.
I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
Old LG G5 I had previously installed Lineage on. Was in a drawer until I decided to charge it up and let one of my kids play games on it. When I input the correct screen lock pattern, it goes black, then comes back to lock screen.
I am able to hold power button to then select power off, restart, etc. From power off, I power on and get the orange triangle recommending to lock the bootloader. But no combination of power and vol-down or power and vol-up will get me to TWRP. It just rolls right back in to Lineage.
Also, from power off, if I plug in to my Linux laptop, it will power on and go to fastboot.
Feels like USB debug got turned off and/or trust somehow got revoked, but I never had this laptop connected to it so probably doesn't matter. But like I said, my unlock pattern is working. I get different response with correct pattern versus incorrect.
I'm also able to see the phone from my https://google.com/android/devicemanager page. I tried to send a secure and erase thinking it might let me start from scratch, but I only see a notification that "Device Located" and it never does anything.
And finally, lsusb -v does see the phone, but adb devices never does.
My question is any idea how to get back to TWRP to wipe and push an updated image or even put an updated TWRP?
Try this ...
It's like getting into Stock Recovery. To get into TWRP Recovery using button combination (hard reset) you'll need to hold volume down button and power button simultaneously, releasing power button (temporarily) once LG logo appears then quickly pressing and holding power button again, all the while maintaining hold on volume down button. The stock recovery message (white background) will appear requiring you to select volume up/down button to continue to reset software (see attached image). If you select yes it will appear to factory reset but will actually boot into TWRP.
Hope that helps!
