i keep seeing tut vids with everyone holding buttons down till you see the flashes etc. however if power down completely then just hold the vol down for 1 - 2 sec, then give the power button a quick push (no need to hold it down at all. just press it like you are turning it on) while continuing to hold vol down you'll go straight into boot loader (release vol down when you enter bootloader).

Erm, no disrespect intended, but isn't this how we've always gone into the bootloader? I didn't realize there was another way, outside of an APM in a ROM or through ADB.
Nite sure if this is what you're looking for but I use "quick boot" from the market.
One click for reboot, recovery, bootloader or power off.

I forget the button combination. But you can always do
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader

I can't seem to be able to boot into CWM. I can get to it by Rom Manager, but when I hold VOL UP and press Power it justs boots up. Same with holding Vol up AND down and pressing power. Am I doing something wrong here?

That works, but what if I flash a bad rom, how can I access the recovery?
VolUp + VolDn should work - always works for me.
Specifically:
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Hold Power until the screen turns out
Let go of Power, keep holding VolUp + VolDn until CWM appear

I'm an idiot, I released power too soon everytime, now I get it, thank you all for your patience!
I simply hold both volume buttons along with power until I see the boot log screen appear. Once I see that, I let go of all buttons and I'll get right into CWM.
i cannot go to recovery mode? I've tried the following combinations...
please help!
I have the unlock code but nowhere to input it.
Volume Up (hold) + Power (hold)
Volume Up (hold) + Power (hold) -> release Power
Volume Up (hold) + Power (hold) -> release Volume Up
thanks!

Pretty vague there noob guy.
Provide more information on what mods you have or did and what exactly you're trying to accomplish. Otherwise all you'll be is flame bait for senior members.
dl mode is usually volume down + power or both up/down volume + insert usb
VUp + VDn + Power with no USB cable inserted will put you into recovery mode

As stated above, wrong combinations.
Not to mention you don't put unlock codes in recovery. Not really sure what it is you think you are going to accomplish.

Volume up + volume down + power. Are u tying to sin unlock?
Love everyone who gives him the wrong advice then drops the newb line, irony, anyway here are the two modes you can get into at boot, all start with the phone off
Volup + voldown + pwr during phone boot, release after the first startup screen = download mode for odin
Volup + voldown + pwr during phone boot, wait till boot screen flashes, at the second time you see the boot screen then release = recovery, assuming your firmware has it installed
Fyi the boot screen is the first thing you see when the phone turns on, not to be confused with the boot animation, hope it helps, its a pain when your looking for advice and people just make fun of your for not knowing and give incorrect instructions, kind of defeats the purpose of these forums as a place to learn about your phone from others

This will put the I777 into recovery mode, not download mode.

This will also put the I777 into recovery mode, regardless of firmware. All firmware distributions have recovery. Stock firmware has 3e recovery.
It would be best if you get your facts straight before you post.

Hi,
I want to change my custom rom, but for whatever reason I can't get into bootloader...
I can get into usb mode with ease... But not into bootloader.
pressing the + volume and - volume at the same time and pressing/holding the power button just makes my Titan go into a loop...
If I keep hold of both the powerbuttons but only press the powerbutton once, then the Titan just starts up.
What am I doing wrong here?
Come on guys, help me out here.
What you have to do is hold + and - volume button and shortly press power button. Do not keep pushing power button because that is what causes the continuous loop. Keep pressing the volume buttons until the bootloader screen appears and then connect you usb-cable.

Thanks, but I doesn't work for me...
If I press the power shortly, it will just start up...
It's like the volume up doesn't respond, although it does when the phone is on...
I say that because pressing the camera button and volume down does work, and gets me into USB Mode

Have no idea what went wrong with your phone. But I would try to flash HSPL again (with SPL goldcard) and if that does not work - I would try to flash stock (also with goldcard). But if the bootloader is somehow really damaged (somehow physically) - then you lose the ability to flash customs in future.
For now you are able to do it at least via goldcard.
Hi,
after a Rom update (LIONAGEOS) my LeMax2 was boot-looping in Fastboot mode. I was able to switch to TWRP recovery, however OTP storage was not mountable. Back in fastboot I pressed power + Vol up and Vol down. Since then phone would not reboot at all. No activity when connecting to USB cable, nothing. Any idea if there is a chance to wake up the phone back to live?
Thanskd for any advice.

Hi rompip,
Can you reboot the terminal in fastboot mode : "vol -" and "power" for 5-10 sec ?
Do you have battery ?
When you plug it in charge, does it work ?
Best regards.
Max.
Keep in mind that if your phone goes by itself in the QDLoader mode, it’s better to try some combinations below:
1) Keep the power button pressed for about 2 minutes, or
2) Keep the power button + Vol up pressed for about 2 minutes, or
3) Keep the power button while connecting the phone to a wall charger, or
4) Bring the phone into a bright light and press the power button (or power button + Vol up) for about 2 minutes, or
5) Keep the phone charging for more than 24 hours and repeat all the steps above.

Hi AhmadSant,
thanks, long Power pressing (approx. 1 minute) worked for me!!! Do you have any advice how to get rid of the Fastboot bootloop? I can enter into recovery, would I need to perform a full wipe?
Thanks again for your assistance.

I think that the easy way to get rid of all that problem is to unbrick it and go back to stock ROM. Here

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!
