The menu button won't work because you don't need it. Use volume up and down to navigate, back to go back and home to select

[SOLVED] How to go into boot recovery LG Optimus Black P970

Can anyone of you help me because i think i need to do a factory reset, but now it stuck in boot loop and it does not have a key combination to go into recovery mod. Help
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

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.

To get into Recovery mode :
Press and hold Volume down + Home key

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] Issue with recovery with a dead home button

Hey guys,
I have a big problem when my phone ran into a problem where the home button does not work. I have read that I can potentially solve the problem by re-flashing the firmware on the phone but I am unsure how I am going to wipe the cache on my phone without the home button. I can get into recovery mode fine but I can't select anyone since the home button doesn't work.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well, I dont know you, but when I'm in CWM recovery mode, I use the volume button to navigate and the power button to select.

It depends on the version of CWM you have, some versions use the power button as a "go back" button, and ohers as a select button just as the home button.
Can you get into download mode? because if you can you could try flashing stock firmware via odin, re rooting and then enter CWM again and see if it's fixed.

Didn't know that... I'm using 4.0.0.5... Hope he's too
Sometimes the power button works as back button, but I don't know why. Maybe I long pressed the power button and it changed, dunno...
So since I couldn't wipe the cache I loaded the stock firmware in, now I'm stuck on a bootloop
What do I do now?
So I got the phone back up and running again but still no home button.... Does this mean my home button is permanently done even though I can still get into download and recovery?
Any help is appreciated here. thanks guys
Hi have you fixed your problem out? I have a dead home button and ended up flashing stock rom viva Odin but still not working. It was partly working before it became dead. Is this a hardware problem or a software one. I'm going to Hong Kong in a few days and see if anyone can fix/replace the button, but if its a software problem it might be more problematic.
I did strip down the phone but couldnt get to the button, realised I have to remove the digitizer just to get there which I am not too keen on.
Any suggestions would be great before I take it to repair or end up selling it and get myself a new phone.

[Q] CWM Start Sk17i

hii
i have download this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440161
but how can i start the CWM recovery?
Volume down at start dosen´t work
Start your phone (it will vibrate)
Press then release the power button (repeat until you see the logo gets brighter)
The first line in the menu is reboot, if you keep on pressing power button(see controls) your phone will reboot.
To navigate (Controls):
Move Up = Volume Up
Move Down = Volume Down, Menu
Back = Back
Enter/Accept = Power Button, Home key
I have installed the older version, then this new version. Now I have two recovery. I can use the volume down method and power button method. I prefer volume down to enter recovery (older version, I like the controls better)
Hello the power button methode dont work on this kernel :-/
i have now installed the cwm installer from market there work the volume dowm methode

I don't understand why would it not work with power button with your phone (working with mine). To enter cwm that was included on this kernel you need to use power button. The original poster even wrote:

Have you tried this kernel? Because I can enter cwm using power button method clearly describe by the op/creator of the kernel.

[Q] Help - Flash ROM in Huawei G525

Is there a way on how to flash ROM on Huawei Ascend G525? I had just done rooting this phone. Also, I don't know how to navigate to the recovery of this phone, I did try to press the power on button with the up and down volume keys but it did not go to the recovery. Is there any solution for this?
If you want to go to recovery mode or CWM, press and hold the back key + volume down and press the power button.
When the screen flashes, let go.
And it's done, try it.
Hit the thanks button if it helps.

i tried your way but I failed, it did not rebooted to the cwm. i think there is no hard back key in my handset, it will not work/function when a phone is turned off. keys that would work are only the power button and the volume up/down keys.
Disable Fast Boot for Recovery
Hi, It is as you wrote earlier, volume up and down keys and then press power, But for this to work you have to either disable Fast Boot from settings > all and 2nd last option, or you can remove battery for two seconds at least to force mobile complete shut down.
Hope this helps

Actually there is no clockwordmod installed on G525. Let us wait for developers to work on it. Currently, I found a Chinese language custom recovery available in the internet. You can try that if you want. Just searh on google "G525 CWM".

I didn't do anything. The phone was in my pocket and when i took out to make a call I saw nothing was on the screen. Only the LED on top was blinking.
So i pressed the power button to switch OFF and ON. After that it never turned ON.
Also I had rooted the phone before using the King Root App. But never installed a Custom ROM.

After you get no command screen try to press power and volume up button or power and volume down button.
Try holding the power button for few seconds. Of no success then you need to flash a custom recovery (TWRP) using YGDP and thn zip rom. Or stock rom using YGDP.

You won't be able to do anything without volume up button. Get it repaired first as only vol up button is used to load into recovery mode and after that everything else can be done.
