My samsung i5500 wont boot normally so I want to try booting it into recovery and reseting it. Ive tried power, centre key and volume down. which I thought was the recovery combination but it just comes up with an icon saying downloading and does nothing.
If anyone else knows a recovery combination or another way to fix it please comment
according to a post here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-781149.html
It's the volume down, then center key, then power. Make sure your not letting go after pressing them in that order... Order is important if you were doing power, center then volume down it will not work in that order.
I'm also trying to get into recovery mode to clear the dalvik cache and I'm stuck on the same downloading screen. I connected the usb cable, waited 5 minutes, started kies, waited 5 more minutes. What needs to be done on the downloading screen?
me to any help here

You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.

There is no key combination for this device.
In order to get to Recovery you need to boot Android, enable USB Debug Mode. Then connect to PC via USB cable, open ADB and type "adb reboot recovery"
If you cant boot into Android you'll need to flash recovery with Odin and it'll boot into Recovery after flashing.
also if using CM7 you can choose to boot into recovery when restarting phone.
If there is a way to boot to Recovery from download mode please someone explain how.

On my GT-I5500M, after installing CWM via Odin, from powered-off state, I can press and hold Volume Down, Start Call, End Call (3 buttons simultaneously), hold 'em past the Samsung boot screen, and you eventually get into Recovery mode without going into Download mode. YMMV but it works for me.

Hi,
I have the same problem as the author of the topic, my galaxy GT-I5500 doesn't turn on, it's on an unlimited boot loop, i can enter on Downloading mode, but if i connect the phone to the computer, the computer doesn't recognize the phone (probably because of lack of driver's), so, i can't access ADB or Odin, or do anything, could you please help me ?

Hello Guys,
Yesterday I received my ATT LG E970 Phone, I was trying to remove ATT Apps from the phone. So, I did using ..

After pressing Power in Recovery Mode of Green Android the phone rebooted and It eneterd in "Team Win Recovery Project". I din't know what to do with it.

Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.
PS ; I'm still Downloading The firmware from Ist link.

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

Hi,
I HAVE GOT A VERY BIG PROBLEM.After i installed the App AutoRec(i had TWRP befoe,but i thougt when i install it it updates TWRP to a newer version) my phone only starts in Fastboot Mode-no DownloadMode-no Recovery Mode.
After that i erased all the things(aboot,boot,cache,system,laf,....) und flashed them again,after that the Phone only starts until the LgLogo then it stops.No Fastboot,no recovery,no DownloadMode.When I Press VolumeUp+PowerOff i get into the Factory Reset.When i press on Erase all user data&restore default settings?---When i press Yes the phone the logo comes an on the left up side stands"Error:boot ceryfication verify

Please help me,what can i do?I have the Phone only since 2 two days,an i wouldnt lost it Unhappy
Sorry for my bad english
Can you still get into twrp? With the phone off hold power and vol down til LG logo comes up the release and press again after. Should take you to a menu, just hit yes. If it takes you to recovery just hit factory reset and it'll,take you to twrp. If so, I'd recommend putting a Rom onto an sd and flashing it. You'll lose everything but it's better then losing this beautiful phone

You obviously didnt read his post correctly. He stated that when he gets to the factory reset area which leads you to Recovery Mode/TWRP it shows the LG logo appears and nothing happens.
As for you my friend if you are able to somehow get into download mode with a button combination you have a chance at saving yourself by using a TOT or KDZ file to restore your phone to stock software. But i also have a question for you.........Why the hell would you allow an app to flash a recovery file that has nothing to do with BUMP'D? The Bump'd recovery for our phones is specific to our phones! You should never auto update any recovery unless stated its ok from the Bump'd developers, Which they never did or will because our TWRP Recoveries are different than any other phones because of the bump'd implementations with in them and the boot.img's. Sounds to me like you may have screwed up your partitions and/or boot stack. Your are better going on IRC and requesting the help of TheCubed/IOMonster and AutoPrime, but mark my words you will face some heavy criticism from members of the IRC channel when you explain this story to them. But they are always willing to help.
I dont know why i have done it,im new on Lg.Before i had an HTC there is so many other.I will aks that guys.I hope i can save my new phone.
But the Problem is,i dont get into download Menu,i did everthing

Hi all. I just recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted my LG V30+ following the WTF guide with no issues. However, I installed a "Hide navigation bar" module in Magisk and now the screen is in accessible and I can only reboot the phone. Since I have TWRP installed, I cannot boot into bootloader holding down the volume down and power buttons. Any suggestions? I cannot use adb becuase it says that the device is unauthorized since I cannot allow permisions on my screen ( cant see anything on screen atm).

You can boot to TWRP with hardware button dance.
8 sec Power + Vol-, and when it shuts off, release both, immediatly press both again (at the same time), and as soon as the LG V30 logo appears, release power and press/hold it again.
Should get you to the factory reset menu, confirm twice with "yes" (navigate via vol/power buttons), and TWRP should boot fine.
Might take a few tries to get the right timing for that

For that, remember the annoying bootloader unlock warning is part of the boot sequence.
Or do a Master Reset and start over.

Ignore bootloader unlock warning. It's just part of the boot sequence. Maybe it's considered the "logo". Don't let it freak you out.

Suggestion... Why not boot to TWRP with fastboot commands like in the WTF instructions? Then reboot to TWRP from within TWRP (reboot to recovery, from Recovery) to make sure you are then on your phone TWRP and not your PC TWRP.
Then after you root, use the recommended power menu app to never have to worry about it again.
If you already have root, then just go install that right now.
ADVANCED POWER MENU (root needed)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79573776&postcount=2963
The person who started this thread couldn't do that because they installed something which messed up their screen. They couldn't see the Advanced Power Menu, nor see ADB/fastboot. So they HAD to use the hardware button dance...
Really no one else ever has to do that, except T-Mobile H932 users who don't have fastboot flash commands.
Hi Chazz, been unlocked and rooted with TWRP installed for months now. Wanted to just refresh us998 H, since something in Anxious mod may have been causing some issues. Wiped cache & dal, flashed the zip, flashed magisk 18.1, then rebooted to system. Magisk showing as not installed. Wanted to get back to recovery & reflash magisk....except now I can't for the life of me get back in there. New PC build here, nothing set up yet to be able to do fastboot stuff. Dang this is frustrating.

In Oreo, did you enable USB debugging and then allow ADB from this PC? You have to install ABD drivers, LG drivers, fastboot drivers, and connect via good USB-C cable. If so go into ADB folder, hold-shift and right click to 'open command prompt here', and type "adb devices". If the PC recognizes your phone then it should say "adb xxxxxxxx authorized". Then type "adb reboot recovery" and it should boot into TWRP. If not then repeat everything and type "adb reboot bootloader" to go into fastboot or bootloader mode. In this mode you can type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" where the TWRP-xxx-xxxx.img has to be renamed into TWRP.img before hand (else you have to type the full TWRP file name. The TWRP file has to be in the same directory as the adb folder
I'm good turns out I ended up using my old PC, was able to adb recovery mode, installed 19.2 magisk over 18.1, which then showed up as being installed on the phone and root working. Guess I'll be keeping my old puter around for a while...lol
Hello,
I wanted to install Twrp on my unlocked LG G5 H850.
So I opened fastboot and installed it with the command. It said it was finished and it worked but when I enter the command to beoot into the recovery it says "FAILED" and also when booting with Volume Down + Power button the normal factory reset recovery comes up. Can someone help me with that? Thanks and Regards
Yomu must pull of battery after twrp flash and then launch phone with fingers on Vol down and power. When LG logo appears - you pull of finger on power for second and hold that again with vol down.

Maybe it installs into wrong place.
May be you may try to flash a stock rom first then install twrp?
Are there any official stock rom repositories?
