Can someone help me get into recovery mode on my Verizon G4? I want to clear the cache.
I have read to turn it off, then press & hold Power and Volume Down, until the LG logo appears. Then release only Power, then press & hold Power again, until the recovery screen appears. And I'd swear I'd gotten in this way on a previous Verizon G4.
But I can't get it to work on this phone. Either on software 610B, or having just upgraded to 611A. It either just boots up normally, or if I keep holding Power, it seems to just reboot again.
What am I doing wrong? Sorry for the basic question, but I've tried it a bunch of times, with no success.

It's probably the same as the g3. I would just hold volume down and power until the stock recovery popped up. Not letting off at all.
That did it, thank you! That was easy. And this was different than what I had read elsewhere.

I originally read the way you described first for my g3. So you can only go with the info given. I just happen to figure out just holding them works best. If you have root access just get quick boot from the play store. Makes it easy to get into custom recovery.

I have a very serious problem. I've managed to brick my device. I decided I wanted to install CM 10.2 on my E988 (Taiwan version) but it didn't work. I rooted, installed freegee and also had cwm. I put the files on my sd card and then formated data, cache and dalvik cache. When I tried to install from sd card it said can't partition non-vfat. So i decided then that I would push the files using adb to my devices internal storage. I managed to do this but when I did it said installation aborted. It didn't have anything else in the log. At the moment I can access cwm but I can't seem to do anything with it. I can also charge my device but the charging image is missing.
When I try to access download mode it comes up with the factory hard reset screen which does nothing.I am at the moment downloading the stock image kdz file but I don't think I'll be able to do anything with it.
When I boot up my phone it still says that freegee is installed.
I got the CM rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439827
On that thread it says that you need to remove the first four lines of text in the updater-script file. However, in notepad, it depends on how big your window is to how much four lines of text is. Further into the thread, a user asked how much was actually meant to be removed and someone replied with all the way up to 'mount'.

Try, Remove battery and put again your device, hold Volume "-" and Home button and Power button, after display confirm put power button 3 time.
It's OK. It turns out that to get into download mode you don't have to press the power and volume buttons, you just have to press both the volume buttons and then plug in the USB

Sorry, that my guide to hard reset device.
Hi
Having just got my hands on the Jiayu S3 it has some similar features to other phones for powering up into factory or recovery mode with some quirks.
Factory Mode
I can not translate myself.

How to get there?
Power off phone
Hold power and volume down
when you feel vibration or see splash screen release power button but keep holding volume down.
Select menu items by volume down
Action your selection by power button
TIP, reboot phone is the last entry in the menu.
RECOVERY MODE
Is achieved by going into a bootloader mode.
this offers a menu with the following menu
Recovery
Fastboot
Normal
Image is fuzzy as its difficult to focus on it.
BEWARE font is tiny and difficult to read without magnify glass!
bootloader menu is about one nineth of the screen height
How to get there?
Power off phone
Hold the power and volume up
when you feel vibration release power button and continue to hold volume up
Select menu items by volume up
Action your selection by volume down
.....YES its not the same as Factory mode
more to follow later when I can take some decent screen shots
LONG PRESS POWER
You may be aware that while in either mode, long press the power button will for some options allow the phone go thru a reboot.
I just tested factory mode second last option, unfortunately it still treats the long press as
action current selection but then shutdowns and reboots
so don't try it on a factory reset unless thats what you want as you risk soft brick
good luck

I have added a long press power option to first post that might assist for some people. YMMV

Hello Guys,
I need help... I was mad because not been able to 1080p or 60fps playback on youtube. I decided to change the ro.build.version release from 4.4.4 to 5.. When I reboot the phone battery was on 1% (it was on 46% before) Then i used the backup of the build.prop and replaced it. Then i reboot the phone. The problem is that now i cannot turn it on. It stays loading with the Jiayu logo. Sorry for my bad english, i speak spanish.
Thank you
Soft-Bricked
UPDATE : I fixed this by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...orial-how-to-flash-factory-images-lg-t2713833 thanks to whoever tried helping or did some research
Okay so, I was fiddling around with some applications - user installed ones. Then The device blackscreened I though no biggie It just locked then it went into the boot animation so I waited a few mins then I realized I had softbricked my phone. Now I have a tot file, I have no recovery installed, I was about to install recovery the next day. My device specifically is the E98020h AT&T model. I was not flashing any roms of any sort I have tried flashing stock ROMs to get out of the softbrick and I am a "newbie" to flashing ROMs and Kernals. But most of the guides on here for my phone the links are dead, and the links for the pictures in the tutorials are also dead. Thanks for your time. I would appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks.
Note : I can get into download mode, I have tried Hard Factory reset I get the infamous Boot

Yes as I said in the post.
Hi Developers.
This is my first post but I've used this forum for many devices before.
This is what happened:
Atfer update to android 6.0.1 (M), I got some "bugs" (freeze) after I tried to root the device (using this method). I failed the first time I got a bootloader loop. I googled it and found this method (same commands but adding a "fastboot splashscreen.img"), then my phone just got a blank screen loop. My next step was the xFSTK method (this one). My phone booted "normally" and then I tried to update it to 6.0.1.
After that, my phone just got stuck in ASUS logo. I tried the xFSTK method and in the middle of the Flash Tool process, I interrupted it, because it was taking so long. I tried xFSTK process again but I got a "FW+iOS failed" and the attached screen loop (like a broadcast tv).
Please... Help.
(note: I don't speak/wrtie english very well. I hope you guys understood me)

Solved, thanks to sukhwant717 for his post
And his quote:
those who are not able to keep device connected. take care of few steps
1. in xFSTK option menu change the flag override value to 0x80000807 not 0x800000807 ( don't forget to click gp value over ride)
2. while connecting to xFSTK attach usb to computer. hold power button for 20 seconds to make sure it power downs completely. then hold the power button down and click power button. wait till device vibrate or computer makes detection sound. leave power button but keep holding the volume button for few seconds

Hey guys, today i made the horrible mistake to root my Galaxy A50... Long story short, it completly failed and now i think i bricked my device.
I have already downloaded the stock ROM and odin3 to install it but i am not able to do it because i can't access download mode.
To be more precise, i see the image linked below. When i try to force shut down my device, it does close for a second and then it vibrates and opens by itself at the same state. While launching i have tried all the volume up-down and power button combinations to open the download mode but everything fails. Note that i managed to open download mode in order to root my device but now it doesn't work.
Since i have no way of entering download mode in order to flash the stock rom using odin how can i fix my device?
The main image i see:

Okay so i managed to fix this. At first vol down and power would not turn off the device. It would start again by itself so i wasn't able to press volume up+down together. The solution was to let its battery die and then try that while connecting that to the computer and it worked just fine, i managed to get into the download mode and fix it. Thanks for the help!
