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
Expansion
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.
sorry for my bad english.
Does not work on the LG-P970g from Telus aka Optimus Black
To get into Recovery mode :
Press and hold Volume down + Home key
then press and hold the above combination and also press and hold power button for a while
You'll get into Recovery mode
Hope it helped :angel:

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!)

[Q]How to enter recovery mode in lenovo a5000?
Hello everyone
I have a lenovo a5000 device all i need now is to know how to enter recovery mode.
Here's What i tried and the Results:
1-Power button + Volume+ & Volume- at The same time
RESULT:
Phone doesn't even start up at all no vibration nothing
2-Power button + Volume-
Result:
Phone either Reboots Or Hangs on boot screen of course with no result
3-Power button + Volume+
RESULT:
This is actually The only thing I tried that actually gave me a result it boots to a dark screen where there is three options
Recovery mode
Fastboot mode
Normal mode
And it asks me to move between options using volume + and to use volume - as an ok
However i can navigate between the options using the volume button but i can't enter any of the modes by pressing volume down or power button either with long press or fast press nothing works so please tell me an answer for this
P.s(I have twrp flashed in the device and i can access it and the recovery mode using quick boot app but anyway recovery mode was still not opening before installing twrp)
Thanks in Advance
I 've got The Answer
Finally i have got the answer for my problem:
For anyone that have the same problem like me The buttons are these for recovery mode
Click power button + both volume buttons for 4 seconds then it normally won't open yet the trick is that afyer the 4 secs you leave the power button and still click on th volume buttons for another five seconds it will start with logo keep yoilur fingers ob the volume buttons and voila here's the recovery menu
Please Admin close the thread
Thanks buddy my situation is the same and your solution worked to me
Hello XDA
I went to settings and pressed "factory data reset". My phone turned off, and then when it was to boot, it stopped , and now I'm stuck with a red exclamation mark and "Samsung Galaxy J1 ace" in the middle.
I have tried booting into recovery mode by pressing the volume buttons and Power, but i get the same thing.
I've tried:
- Power + Volume Up
- Power + Volume Down
- Power + Volume Up + Volume Down
- Power + Home Button + Volume Up
I still get the same screen
I did try Power + Home Button + Volume Up , and i get this:
Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the Volume Up key. Otherwise, press the Volume Down key to cancel.
Volume Up : Continue
Volume Down : Cancel (restart phone)

I pressed volume down , and then I'm back to square one with the first problem
Help is immensely appreciated .
You need to reinstall the rom..
Hello,
I'm trying to install custom ROM but I can't boot into recovery mode. It's just stuck on "htc powered by android" screen. I can boot into Android normally and also I Unlocked bootloader but can't do anything else because I can't enter recovery mode. My phone is HTC One M8s.
Thanks

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.
