Hey guys, I have my phone rooted and the shell installed, but when I turn off my phone and turn it back on holding the home button, the recovery menu doesn't open. I have even tried to hold the power and the home button at the same time and that still didn't work.
It does work if I do reboot recovery in a terminal app or adb so I know I that it is infact flashed to the phone.
Any ideas?
I actually end up doing the "Volume Down" button and Power button...it gives me a menu and then I hit the Home button to go into the recovery ROM.

thanks, I'll try and see if that works.
Edit.. That doesn't seem to work either. Maybe Im pushing the buttons wrong or too late? Was there a file i was supposed to keep on the SD card?
Edit... NVM I wasnt holding the buttons before I turned the phone on. I always pressed them right after I turned the phone on.

hi, i just flashed phone to CM6 with the help of ezterry.
now i have a question, how can i turn off the phone?
i press power button and choose power off, but it just cycles power and eventually turns phone on.
i did something wrong? there is no sim card in the phone yet.
thanks,
it is possible to turn it off this way:
choose reboot into hboot, and over there to choose power off (menu key).
Press powerdown in cm, when it starts thinking about shutting down press and hold send.. it will either turn off or enter the bootloader where you can press menu.. if you want recovery press home instead.
Its a big between the flacky rogers new radio pushed out with the911 patch and custom firmware..

You are either doing it wrongly, or the volume-down button isn't working. It's as simple as that.
To diagnose, make absolutely sure that CWM is properly installed by following steps 1-3 in this guide.
EDIT: Actually, if volume-down isn't working, you won't be able to start the phone in NVFlash-mode either.
Then try to start recovery again (also by doing it exactly like the guide says.) If you still can't access CWM, then you know for certain your volume-down key is broken and you need to get the phone repaired.
Maybe a "quick shot" but why not to ask: do you keep power and vol down keys long enough? You have to keep them pressed both for quite a few seconds before CWM mode is activated and CWM menu appears. So, just power off your phone, then keep power and "vol -" buttons pressed until the LG logo changes a bit or the CWM menu appears. On my phone it takes about 15 seconds, so no hurry
I am stuck on the CWM Android system recovery screen. My Kernel is fine, I entered it not realizing I couldn't get out because my home button hasn't worked in over a year. I've tried resetting with the power button, and the power button + down key, but it always comes back to this screen. All I need to do is select the "reboot system now" button but without a Home Key I can't select it. Any way around this? Is my phone esentially bricked?

Bricked?
nothing? is it bricked? Does anyone know if a shorted out HOME key can be repaired?

goto the option of reboot system now and press power key...
Just pull battery and power on. It will be fine for sure.
As for the home button, it can be fixed, but until then go search and learn how to flash from fastboot.

I just flash a new firmware and TWRP touchscreen is not responding.
Is there anyway i could force shut down the phone?
I have already tried the following:
- adb reboot bootloader
Got an error device not found
- hold down power button for more than 10sec
- hold down both power button and vol button for more than 10sec
All the above methods doesnt work

Hello All,
I for some reason cannot figure out the button combo to get me into recovery from the phone being off. Anyone know what it is? Thanks!

Hold power and vol down until it turns on and once it gets to the lg logo, release the buttons and press and hold them again until it gets to the factory reset screen. Hit the power button three times and it will boot into your recovery

Thanks fellas!
The phone has to be powered OFF for the stated and linked methods to work for recovery access.
To power the phone off (if, say, you're stuck in a bootloop),
Press and hold the power and Vol- buttons for 10 seconds do not release, hold for an additional 3-5 seconds. The LG logo will flash briefly. When the screen is black, let go of all buttons. Now the phone is off, you may process to use the previously stated commands to enter recovery.
Hold volume down + power until the LG logo appears....once it appears release the power button and repress it and hold until youre into recovery... :good:
