What is the problem? The device accidentally dropped on the floor. It worked without any problems, but when the reboot, it automatically went to the recovery mode. The warranty period has expired, so is there any way to fix it?

Are you stuck in recovery, and can you use the recovery (Move through menus etc)?

Yes.
It might sound daft but:
from within recovery select "Reboot into Recovery" (in Advanced?)
Once it boots back into recovery select "Reboot".
It did not help...
have you tried cold-booting it? hold down power and volume down until you see the option to boot into recovery, then do nothing until the pre-boot menu appears on screen (wipedata/cold-boot android) choose the android, press volume up to select, then it shoot give a dialog message of "cold-booting linux" and it should go into the boot animation sequence and on to the rom.

ADB(google it)
Also try 3 button combo, when you see splash screen let go power and volume down but continue holding volume up(maybe will unstick volume down)

I can't boot the phone since i'm stuck at the "galaxy s2 screen" since my volume down is acting up i can't enter recovery "holding the button down"
either i'm doing something wrong, but adb doesn't recognize my device and i have the drivers. it sucks not have the - volume button not working.
is there another way that recognizes the phone to get into recovery?
could always get a jig to get into download mode, flash back to stock or another rom.
EDIT: next time, i suggest that app or setting up a recovery mode link in the power menu

Try going to mounts and storage, and set the usb mount to on. I haven't tried this but I know that the computer does recognize the phone.

the problem is that I can't use my "volume down button isn't registering" and adb doesn't see my device. in device manager all i see is galaxy s2 with an exclamation point. and the phone is stuck on the splash screen with the yellow triangle. if i could get into recovery i will be fine. the volume button is killing me right now. i need to get adb to see the phone i reinstalled all drivers and programs no luck. googled for 2hrs. struggling here
Sounds like a driver issue if the computer sees the device with a yellow bang on it.
I would check for another set of drivers and then select the device and do update drivers and point it to the newly downloaded ones.
I don't know for sure, but would a jig get it into a mode that would allow for a flash?
Did your volume buttons ever work? Are you trying with a case on?
I'm the stock att rom on 2.3.4. I had my phone for a while but never backed up my ROM. I performed a permissions fix and rebooted. I selected backup ROM and it rebooted. The phone tried to reboot but got stuck trying to boot to recovery menu. I hit the volume button and got the Rom M. recovery menu. None of the options work. It just shows an icon and does nothing. If I hit the volume button it goes back to menu. I've tried to reboot several times and it keeps on booting to a non functional Rom Manager menu.
I'm done my searches and I'm no luck. Is there a way to recovery without completely wiping the phone? I'm hoping there's an easy way to recover the boot using Odin?
Here's exactly what I did in that situation .. take the battery out and leave it out for about 2 hours.. this will totally deplete your phone of any kind of power.. after your done put it back in and it should boot up perfectly! If not try to take it out for longer

Depending on which version of cwm you are booting into...what button are you using to select? Most of them its either power or the home button. Try the home button to select.

Thanks for the response but I don't see how this would fix the problem as it boots from internal storage and not the memory. I'll try it while I'm doing research and waiting for more responses.

Much Thanks!!!!! Karashta. Selecting the home bottom to select instead of the power is the proper way of selecting the menu's.

Hi guys,
I tried to unlock the bootloader of my Nexus 10 before rooting it. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I can't use it anymore (I either have the "Loading X" forever or a dead droid while trying to go to the recovery mode).
I'm used to do that kind of modifications (only on Samsung Galaxy S and S3 though) and I don't know what I did wrong (but I usually flashed with Odin).
Anyway, I used this tool (after enabling the usb debug and allowing unknown sources) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868
I installed the drivers on my PC (menu 1 in the tool), then I could see my device in ADB MODE (in the tool menu). I tried to unlock the bootloader (3rd option in the menu) and it was written completed. My device reboots and nothing happens. I can access the fastboot mode (is it the download mode ?).
I have Odin.
Can someone help me to get a working device ?
Thank you very much.

Easy fix. Get to the dead droid recovery menu and then press all 3 buttons on the top. You will get into the blue recovery options. Choose factory reset.
Sometimes unlocking the bootloaders scrambles a few things on this device and it goes into boot loop. After the factory reset, you'll be fine. PM me if you still have issues.

Okay, thank you very much. I didn't know I had to press the 3 top buttons again after the dead droid screen, I thought it failed loading the Recovery Mode.
I have to setup my account etc again so I guess it is safe to say it worked.
Additionally, I tried this method after the recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
and it worked fine. My device has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
hey if someone could help me im stuck myself, after i had the dead android in recovery mode i tried to flash software with the toolkit in fastboot and now when i go to recovery its just a blank screen till i hold the bottom combo again and it takes me back to fastboot

Hey,
I'm having the same problem. I get to the dead droid instead of recovery and tried hitting all three buttons again but it's just looping again.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you didn't actually perform a factory reset. The key combination to get into stock recovery from the dead android screen is Power + Vol-Up. That will bring up the option to factory reset.
So if your powered off or bootlooping, hold the Power + Vol-Up + Vol-Down until you're back in the Bootloader. Use Vol buttons to select Recovery Mode and tap Power. When the droid w/ the Red "!" appears, hold the Power button and quick press the Vol-Up button. This should take you into stock recovery. Select Factory reset. Reboot. After a few minutes, the device should boot normally.
Good luck.

Ok found a video showing that when you get to that part where there's the dead droid (the red !), you don't press hold hold all three buttons but tap them until the recovery screen shows up.
So finally did that but I still have the same problem.
My initial problem was, I received my N10, open the box, turned it on and it started freezing and rebooting. Can't get past the wifi step.
Tried hard and many times to finally get to enter my gmail account, etc
Updated to 4.3, problem persisted so I figured, maybe the factory flashed a bad rom?
So I unlocked it, rooted it and tried flashing older stock versions, same problem.
Tried flashing CM, same; PA, same...
Tried deactivating location service as suggested elsewhere: same; uninstall chrome: same
Even CM withouf GAPPS wouldnt work
So basically, I have a $500 brick. Completely useless as it freezes every 30 seconds.
Decided not to return the device because although I am Canadian, I live in SE Asia and had a visiting friend bring it to me. Way past the return period and the overall experience would be a real pain in the butt... Don't know what to do. Really hoping Kit Kat will solve it but I have doubts.
What do you think?
Sorry. I don't know enough about these things to give more in depth troubleshooting advice. I just recently got my N10 & unlocked it and based on your original post, I thought that's where you needed help. But it sounds like you got past that and got it unlocked.
Have you tried downloading a factory image directly from Google and installing that? If it's locking up on a fresh install of any ROM, it very well may be a hardware issue. You may have to file a warranty claim if possible.

You should be able to get your phone out of the bootloop by booting into recovery mode and wiping the cache. After wiping the cache select the reboot option and your phone should then reboot and startup normally.

Tried to get into Recovery mode using the following key combo's (with SD Card and without):
hold vol+,vol- and focus (half pressed camera button) while turning on.
This seems to be loading recovery but as soon as the progress bar comes up it stops with a Triangle (Exclamation mark inside it) and a little android underneath that.
? any clues how I get past this?
Managed to get into Recovery using the following key combo:
Volume Up + Focus + Power On, release and press focus again after vibrate
Had ClockworkMod Recovery v4 installed. Cleared the Cache Partition > Rebooted > and still the same - got stuck on the Android boot screen.
Any thing else I can try?

I have the H933 variant of the V30. I want to wipe the partition cache after the Oreo update. I have tried the Pwr + down arrow. And then release power button and hold again at the boot screen. The only option I have is to factory reset the phone. I don't get the normal recovery options. Any help would be appreciated.

When I reboot into recovery, I am given the same choice on my US998. I choose factory reset, then I choose factory reset again. After all that, I get a screen that shows the "unlocked device" message for a moment and then finally TWRP.
I have had a situation where TWRP was NOT installed and when I did this my phone was completely erased...
Since then I have installed Quick Reboot Pro (free!) from the Google Play store. If your phone is rooted it gives you an option to boot into recovery. It goes straight to recovery and doesn't need any of the other (risky in my opinion) steps

i succeeded only when gave up and approved Factory Reset then it finally switched to Recovery mode. Took 1 hour to find out, not a single guide on the internet or here was correct. I wonder if the reset really happened? Is reset prerequisite to run recovery mode?

Not if you are rooted. If the WTF guide I tell people to install a reboot recovery app that will take them straight to recovery.

worst case you could always use fastboot...
if your phone has twrp recovery, then it won't reset the phone. if you are running stock it will.
Agree with chazz though, assuming you have root and a bootable rom - reboot recovery is the best option
I never did really figure out why the lg phones can't boot directly into recovery using the buttons
If you install a terminal app, you can also get into recovery that way - "su" and then "reboot recovery".
I posted this on yt
I just realized magisk has the option to reboot to recovery. I've only used super su in the past.
well of course we have tons of apps, and recovery choice in power menu. but the boot shortcuts is the concern. those really suck.. can't even memorize them. need to write it down on the back of the phone
+1 here for confusion. I uninstalled Magisk after it strangely stopped working during the night and also could only to fastboot. After googling I also did the button dance to reset and yes then yes then got to twrp.
Nothing lost but strange way to go on (rooted device)
Actually, as I thought I had reset everything I updated to 21a so wasn't an entirely wasted 30 mins or so
