I've tried holding Power + Vol Down, i've tried letting it go and re-holding it when the LG Logo appears. I have TWRP installed, and i want to be able to boot into recovery incase something goes wrong with my system, but nothing i do seems to help.;
Only thing i can do is hold all 3 buttons, allowing me to disable "Hardware key control mode". How do i get this thing into Recovery?
What happens when you hold the power and volume down buttons? Do you get the stock recovery? If so, choose Factory Reset and that'll take you to TWRP.
Power + Vol Down, Factory Reset.
If unable to get into Bootloader, i found out personally that i just wasnt holding the Volume Down button hard enough.
[Youtube video on how to actually do this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-cTpsDLNF8)
Also, keep in mind for the Verizon G3, when you enter the recovery, you will NOT be asked to reset your data, but there will be five options and one of them is factory reset. That's where you want to go. Nothing is actually reset.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned, as i searched first. But to get into the stock android recovery do this. Turn phone off, hold volume down and press and release the power button. Choose recovery, phone will boot to a triangle, at this point hold down the power, volume up, and volume down at the same time and release. You should now be in stock recovery. This used to be a way to reboot the evo when stuck at boot, but it works to get into recovery as well on the 3d.
Sorry if this is common knowledge, i have seen people here and in the sensation threads that seem to imply there is no way to get into stock recovery.
Thanks, and this should help anyone wanting to do a factory reset or wipe cache from a "recovery" session.

I'm trying to hard reset a GT-P7500 on Android 3.2 by turning it off and then pressing Volume Up + Power. But nothing happens... screen remains black.
What am I doing wrong?
Any alternative way to hard reset?
The tablet powers on normally when just pressing Power button.

I'm not sure if you mean to hard reset or if you're trying to go into recovery mode to access CWM?
Either way, a hard reset can be performed by holding the power key longer than the usual time to turn it on or off.
To access recovery mode, hold the power and volume down key if up didn't work. The android guy is downloading mode and the box icon is recovery. Let me know if this helps witha thanks:good:
Yes it did. Thanks so much.
I can't seem to boot into recovery with the hold volume up and power at the same time, then release power (still hold volume up) trick.
I've tried about everything I could think of.... I have tried rooting the tablet, unrooting the tablet, applying the OTA system update(s) etc.... No matter what the tablet will just boot up normally (or if I hold the power button too long it turns off). Googling/searching hasn't yielded much help.
I don't have a reset hole to reset it or I would try that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much....

I am using i777 with neatrom 8.0. no problem since last 1 year. But now SU asked for update and then told to press continue> the two option were Normal or TRPU/CMW. on pressing TRUP/CMw option phone rebooted and is just showing SAMSUNG logo and does not go further. please tell what i can do now.
Can you boot into recovery? If able to, perform a wipe data/factory reset.
Help

Recovery is power+BOTH volume buttons. For next time, always choose "Normal" when updating SuperSU binaries.
@rkgarg2000,
I'm not on here as often anymore. Sorry I missed your response and pm.
Did you get the issue resolved? As Steve says, hold down all three of vol up, vol down, and power buttons to enter recovery. Once in recovery, perform a wipe data/factory reset. Let us know if you have additional issues, or if that does not solve the problem.
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!
