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.

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.

Thanks a lot ! :laugh: You almost saved my life ! USB PC connexion don't work, I couldn't do anything else than achieving booting recovery without adb.

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!)
My friend thought that to change from android to webos he had to press the power button and volume up to enter moboot, but he enter to the bootloader mode (big usb connection icon). I tried to power it off and combine power button and volume to see if I can get out of this and nothing. The only solution is to wait for the charge to deplete?
EDIT: It turned off by it self this thread can be close.
just so you know for the future, holding the power button along with the center button for a few seconds does a soft reset even while stuck in recovery or while booted in webos.
[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)

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
Hi, I have a YP-GS1 with physical button, which is caught in a boot loop. I tried to enter recovery mode by pressing vol-up + home button and power on, but to now avail. Entering download mode work (vol-down + home, power up) but recovery doesn't. I wonder whether it should but is physically damaged or there is another trick.
Hello !
Press Home and Vol Up and then Power till the first vibration.
Then let Power go, but hold the other two.
After a while you should be in recovery mode.
I' ve tried it today 2-3 times till I really entered recovery mode.
And BTW. the phone should be switched off befor you try.

i tried to reset or unlock the tablet through laptop with AndroidmultiTool and another similar softwares
but the problem is the USB Debugging mode isn't enabled

Hi , it should work with Vol + and power buttons , maybe you didn't do it correctly or for you is another way .
You can try this :
1. Make sure your device is off
2. Now press together Vol + and Power button at the same time , it will vibrate but don't release keys , once logo appear release both keys and fast press just Vol - button several times until you see recovery menu if that doesn't worl try the same think but with VOl - button , and second key is now VOl + to press several times.

I don't know try to hold long Vol + and power buton just hold like that and one you see logo release just power key, if that doesn't work probably your buttons is not working properly.
