I used revolutionary to S-Off but didn't flash the twrp right away I just rebooted the phone. Now I can't get back into recovery mode! Holding the volume down key does not work. Does anyone know a command I can type or something to go into recovery mode and fix this? Please help!

Since you didn't flash twrp right away, and don't have custom recovery, I'm assuming that by 'recovery mode' you're referring to the bootloader? So then from the bootloader you can flash twrp?
"adb reboot bootloader" will boot you to fastboot mode. You probably need to go to menu>settings>power, and disable fastboot in order for power+volume down to allow you to boot into the bootloader.
Also, removing the battery and then replacing it will allow you to boot to the bootloader via volume down and power button.
Also, once you get recovery and flash the su/busybox/super user zip, so that you have full root...the easiest way to get to recovery or bootloader after that is to use an app from the market called 'quickboot'. Good luck
Make sure fastboot is turned off in settings> power.
I installed that flash image gui app, tried a new kernel, I dont like it and tried to reset my backup from the cwm recovery I use to have, but the recovery wasnt there anymore and I had to flash the twrp recovery, which i dislike, and still cant figure out how to get my cwm backup of this rom back.
Check to see if the backup files are in the CWM folder if not then not to be a Debbie Downer but you're SOL. If they are boot into system and flash the recovery using Rom Manager then restore the backup like you normally would
I've tried that... I have twrp recovery, I've tried that and when booting into recovery it just shows the white HTC screen then reboots. I do have the backup in the cwm folder but can't flash it.

just reflash cwm recovery via fastboot.
How do I do that? I tried flashing it from twrp recovery but it doesn't see the file. It is in the root of my SD. It's cwm 5.0 shooter
cwm backups dont work with twrp backups and vice versa.
Load your phone into the bootloader( power button and volume down).
Then connect to computer via usb, and press power button again to enter fastboot and it should say fastboot usb.
Then in terminal/command prompt execute this command where "recovery.img" is the file name of your cwm recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then when thats done execute this
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Do i need to rename the cwm file, or use any program on the computer? I can get into the bootloader from my phone if there's an easier way, I don't quite understand that way. Also I have hboot 1.50 if it matters
it doesn't matter the name of the recovery but u just have to use that name instead of recovery.img when u type the command. since you have 1.50 your gonna have to use flashboot to flash anything when you arent able to boot into android.
I assume u have downloaded fastboot, adb, and the google usb drivers, since u have already rooted.
You will use your command prompt on your computer to boot phone into the recovery. See in 1.50 u can't just boot up the phone, goto recovery and flash things. You have to boot into boot loader, press power button when selector is on fastboot (normally default position aka first one in the list), then connect phone via usb to computer. The Red word fastboot should now say fastboot usb.
then execute the commands. "recovery.img" replace with your cwm file name
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
alright I think I figured it out, thanks a lot man!
and don't worry your not the only this happened to. I had this happen to me this weekend. I just got the phone 5 days ago and killed it. So i had a great weekend playing catch up to learn how to reflash on 1.50 HBOOT.

also if you still get white screen after you restore with cwm, its means the stock kernel didnt carry over. just reply if that happens.
once you loose its gone why dont you try 4ext custom recovery and gui doe's cause problem's ive used it and it wiped out my boot.img right now im useing 4ext as my custom recovery and it does'nt give any problems at all give it a try

NO bro, the apps works very well. It gets the Job done perfectly.
Suppose you were on a certain ROM and tried flashing a custom kernel with Flash Image GUI, and stuck in bootloop/htc screen , it doesnt mean that the Flash Image GUI caused that.
Even if you tried flashing the same kernel via fastboot boot recovery.img above the same ROM.......the result will be same i.e bootloop/htc screen.
I messed up i tried to reflash my phone back to stock from marshmallow rom on the thread here but i lost custom recovery and only thing i can get into is download mode, how can i fix this? I have abd install on my pc got the system image boot and recovery img but don't know what 2 do. Please help

Your phone is in fastboot mode, not download mode. Small, but distinct difference.
Since you've installed a custom ROM, your bootloader should be unlocked. However, it may be a good idea to issue the oem unlock command through fastboot anyways. Use "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastboot oem unlock" to ensure that your bootloader is unlocked.
Now, since your phone is in fastboot mode, you can do one of two things: 1. Flash a custom recovery and restore your device to stock, or 2. Flash a custom recovery and continue using a custom ROM. Either way, you will need to install TWRP or another custom recovery image of your choice. The TWRP thread is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-t3239740 Since you're already in the bootloader/fastboot mode, all you would need to do is download TWRP and use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and then "fastboot boot twrp.img" to install TWRP. Please note that the 'twrp.img' will vary depending on which version you download, it will probably look more like 'twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img'. You can just rename the file or use the full file name in the fastboot commands.
Once in TWRP, you can flash whatever ROM you want. To restore your phone to stock, go to this thread and flash the .zip in TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../lg-h901-stock-images-device-restore-t3241170 after doing the standard wipe procedure. :good:

I'm kinda in the same boat now except that I already received the replacement device. Need to re-lock the old V10, but adb won't recognize my device at all. Any more option when that's the case? I can get into both download mode and fastboot. Phone is recognized by LGUP in download mode, but not by adb in fastboot mode for some reason.
(I've verified connection and driver using the other V10, the other V10 is recognized just fine)

Yep. Your phone boots and everything, correct? Just factory reset it (Settings > Backup & Restore > Factory data reset). After its been reset, unlock it, turn on Developers Options, and enable USB debugging. After usb debugging is turned on, connect the v10 to your PC and be sure to hit "Always allow" when prompted by your phone. ADB should now be able to see your device.
If you can't get it to boot up, try restoring through LG UP/Bridge. I don't use any of LG's software, so I'm not sure what those apps can do and whether or not you'll be able to restore through them.
If nothing else, your phone is recognized in fastboot mode, so you can always manually flash the stock system images as well. You want to use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img", "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and "fastboot flash system system.img" commands After downloading the stock system images located in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/lg-h901-stock-img-files-boot-recovery-t3238638
If you haven't ever flashed system images from fastboot, please read this first, as I am not responsible if your phone turns into a paperweight! https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions While the instructions are for nexus devices, it works pretty much the same, except you'd want to use the individual commands instead of a flash-all script.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the follow up! No the phone would not boot at all and kept stuck at boot loop. I ended up just doing the OEM Lock and call it a day, the old device just won't boot to anything at this point.
I tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but it's giving some kinda kernel panic message and I was never able to get into recovery. This reminds me of the time when my Note 3 eMMC was fried, it wouldn't give a device ID to adb.
I think I am in the same boat too. I've been OEM unlocked yet recently my phone won't keep the TWRP recovery and keeps putting me into bootloop. I can't install a ROM and only thing I can do is fastboot mode. What did you do OEM lock the device? I am hoping that solution will get rid of that message bootloader unlocked during the bootloop and then I can try and get it serviced.
Hello together,
I currently want to install a custom recovery twrp for lineage os.
I come to Download mode. But I can't reboot to recovery because the volume up button is not Working any more.
When I reboot in normak mode and from there to recovery mode using adb reboot recovery then the custom recovery is overwritten.
As I read this is a "feature" in the Samsung Software that recovery id overwritten with stock recovery during normal boot.
So the question is: can i boot from download mode to recovery with software. In odin mode i can't connect using adb. As there is no fastboot for Samsung devices I can't connect using a command line adb. So any chance to do it with defect volume up button?
Thanks for any ideas in advance.
Have you root access? I don't think, but if you have you can use "flashify" to flash twrp.img in recovery partition and then use "Reboot to recovery" to boot twrp. You find both in play store.
Edit: you can flash a old 4.1 firmware and use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 to have SuperSU and cwm, then in cwm you can flash twrp in zip file
Tapastalking
Thanks
Hi thanks for the idea. This was the other option but needs root. I thought there is an easy solution with something like adb in odin mode. In fastboot I could do that.... so I thoguht there might be a pendant with Samsung smartphones.
You need root to change the recovery.
Beamed in by telepathy.
It worked but Encryption failed and after the password lineageos hangs.
Is there any possibility to boot into Recovery from odin / download mode using adb or anything other.
With a jig i will come to download mode.
I downloaded a recovery mode (twrp) after rooting it by king root
At first i thought it worked and it let me enter recovery mode
But then it stucked and my phone not log into system any more
It just keep rebooting and enter recovery mode
Please can any one help me with that

Your boot partition is corrupted, make sure you use the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_recovery>.IMG
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash boot <name_of_boot>.IMG

If your bootloader is locked, download "Xperia companion" choose repair software and follow the instructions. This is an easy way to solve this problem.
