hey guys,
as i already wrote i got an issue with my milestone and its recovery mode. Today afternoon i decided to flash a vulnerable recovery on my phone and then try G.O.T. open recovery out for the first time. After flashing the vulnerable recovery I tried to enter recovery mode by pressing camera button while pressing power button and then (when the triangle appears) the camera button with the volume up button (the way its always done to get there). This worked out pretty well and i was able to do a nandroid backup, root my phone and install the G.O.T. theme (just to try sth out). Later i wanted to flash a custom rom to my milestone, but since then i couldnt even enter recovery mode, i'm always stuck at the point where the triangle appears. I pressed camera+volume up for 2 min and nothing happened, even entering "su" and "reboot recovery" from a terminal app didn't work. everything else is working fine, could somebody explain me what i'm doing wrong or how to fix this? thanks a lot in advance!
EDIT: Ok, i'm really sorry for causing any inconvenience, i figured my mistake out by accident. i pressed camera + power, released both when the triangle showed up and pressed camera and then volume up, while it should be the other way around i guess, cuz now it worked out fine...
got same problem, stuck on triangle and no reaction on volumeUP + camera…
bump
Is this for the milestone or the vzw droid they have different systems. i know for the droid its power + X for 10 sec while the M logo is up. Im sorry im not to familiar with the milestone A853
Hey guys, I have a serious problem, my milestone not boot, recovery mode does not work and I flashed with the original sbf nor anything, I'm out of battery power and does not load, luckily I'm using a spare USB cable and work.

thanks beforehand

no show the menu with this combination.
I thought it was volume down? either way keep trying it... I know for mine I have to hit it 3 or 4 times to get it to take. Your recovery should be fine has flashing a kernal or rom will not effect your recovery software.
My phone is not going in either of the download / recovery mode. I tried many times. Both 'Vol up + home + power' and 'Vol down + home + power'. But the phone runs in infinite boot loop until i release the power button, after which it starts normally.
May be i should try this . But as per what i found in google search is that the 3 button issue was only in 2.1(Eclair). And mine is already on 2.2 (Froyo) which i updated officially through kies. So has it been disabled intentionally or the bootloader is buggy version which i need to update using this guide ??
try to hold the power button for 4 seconds exactly. Release it just when the logo screen disappears. Sometimes if I hold it too long, it doesn;t work.
Also, if your phone is working, try an app like QuickBoot that will take you into those modes automatically.
For some people have problems getting in to download mode, try volume down home and power it worked for me.
Download mode is Volume down not up .

I tried it, its not working. I release the power button exactly when the boot logo disappears. Then the phone boots again (boot logo is displayed again) and phone starts normally.
Also app like QuickBoot is not much helpful as i'm thinking of flashing through ODIN and i need both the modes working before starting the flash procedure !!

Yeah i have tried factory reset. And i dont want to use the USB jig just now. USB jig is for emergency i suppose and u can only go into download mode and not recovery mode. I want download mode and recovery mode running normally. My question is that, i it possible that these two modes are disabled as mine is 3 UK branded phone ?? Should I try this ??

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
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:
