I recently installed CM7 after rooting my phone with Superoneclick and installing Clockworkmod. However, after installation of CM7, i managed to boot up the system, played around with it and realised that i needed to install the google addon as well. So i rebooted the phone to enter into CWM recovery, however the problem started.
My phone is now stucked on the LG logo screen and would not change. I left the phone in that state till the battery went dead. Recharged the phone and it remained on that screen.
Tried to connect the phone to the PC to flash it with smartflash, but it doesnt work at all. I removed the battery and held the volume down button while plugging in the usb cable. All i see is the phone stucked on the white LG logo screen.
Is there any way that i can reformat the contents of the phone or is my phone certified?
All help would be much appreciated!
Power up directly to cwm by pressing power button and volume down key at the same time.
Once in cwm, full wipe including /system and reflash cm and gapps.
Good luck.
I have tried that method as well. Sorry. Forgot to mention it in my initial post. It didn't work. I have tried to pull the battery, hold down the volume down and power button for at least 20 times now. Each time i get the same screen. The CWM menu does not come up.
Any other ways?

Hmm.....if u can't power to cwm directly then perhaps try smartflash to any stock rom.
1. Download any stock rom
2. Start smartflash app from pc
3. In power off mode, just press volume down to boot to software update screen. Start smartflash stock rom.
4. Boot up stock rom
5. Install rom manager and flash cwm from rom manager. (Or download cwm from Rusty! Cwm thread)
6. Boot to recovery
7. Flash cm rom
8. Flash gapps
Remove battery, hold both vol buttons and plug in USB. Screen should stay blank, but Windows will pick up an APX device. Now NVFlash back to stock and start again.
yup, tried the exact method that you suggested too. But it doesnt work. Still gets stuck at the LG logo.

This method worked! But i have another problem, windows found an APX device, tried to install it but failed. It says driver was not found. Do i have to install a specific driver for this to work? Thanks!
Yes, good point: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...k-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
I have managed to flash the phone and it is back working now. Thank you so much for your help rusty and temasek!
Hi, first post, hope the thread is not too old.
Unfortunately this is my best chance.
I have the same problem on my O1:
Updated from mik's beta 6.5.7 to beta 6.5.8 with the clockwork manager, at the reboot, I was stuck on lg logo.
Unfortunately usb + both volume buttons didn't work.
It remains still at the lg logo.
Pressing home + both volume, it repeately reboots.
In every case I can't go in recovery mode, so I can't wipe the system folder.
Any help will be appreciated,
thank for your time!
PS: sorry, maybe thread in p500, cm7 will be more appropriate.
hold power button + volume down button for 5-10 seconds may work, phone will reboot into recovery mode, then you are able to flash a stock rom or restore your nandroid-backup (if you made one)
good luck, hope it helps you
thanks, I saw a useful post here:

Then I proceded as you wrote.
Now I'm stuck at adroid logo, without the chance to wipe cache.
The recovery does not start: loading bar and then forced reboot...
I don't know what to do
nvflash
maybe you try this link
android.modaco.com/topic/335416-nvflash-setup-instructions-drivers-links-active/
Sorry, i don't get the link working, copy it in your browser, then it should work (i'm posting with my phone that's why the link is'nt correct, but it works with browser, i tried it out)
If the link doesnt work, search 'nvflash lg p990 instructions' with google, you'll see the modaco website with the instructions and the download links

Thank you. A few hours ago, I managed to make it working.
Thanks for your answers, I appreciated.
nvflash is the way to go. Always make sure to use the usb ports on your motherboard (back of your computer) and not some usb hub or so.
Had a black screen for 8 hours, not able to boot, flash, recover or anything.
Changed usb port and I was able to flash the phone again.
Hi.
I have a p990 rooted with superoneclick.
Recovery installed via ROM MANAGER.
When i try to enter recovery via rom manager, it works.
When I press power button and vol down, the phone just factory resets itself each time!
Why is that happaning?
Also, recovery is working really bad. Volume keys don't really navigate (skips items and doesn't respond) and same for touch.
Can't control it so can't really use it. I have recovery 5.0.2.0
Thanks, waiting for answers if someone knows

Use the All in One Tool Kit to root and also select a working recovery....v5 or v6....then it is done
I installed CM10.1 from this thread and everything went smooth and works great. However, no matter what I do I can't boot into recovery mode. I've tried the hardware key combinations, the power menu in 10.1/4.2.2 and I've also tried ROM Manager from CWM (to install the latest CWM and boot to it). Everything just boots like normal.
From what I've read I'm guessing I have a recovery that isn't compatible with my ROM? If that's the case, what recovery should I use and how can I install it using nvflash???
Finally got ADB working and was able to install gapps using the method found here (with minor adjustments): http://www.keyables.com/2012/05/use-adb-to-install-google-apps-includes.html
Very cool.
It would probably still be nice to be able to get into recovery if I ever need to... oh well.
Power Off
Press Volume+ and Power and HOLD THEM
Select option 2.
Please put questions in the General section as this is for development only.
I am havIng the same issue with recovery but when I press and hold volume+ and power I get the samsung custom screen and I see recovery in very small blue font in the upper left, I am still holding both keys and then the phone just boots up normal. Any ideas?

So, just updated with Malladus to 4.4.2 on Malladus 2.0.2, everything is fine with phone and running good. I did the unroot and then re root method. And now that I have malladus, I can boot into recovery. So technically I do not have any issues that are messing up my phone per se. But the thing is, the booting into the recovery the way it should work, with the phone off and then power and holding volume, letting go, and then re engaging with LG Logo appears does not get me into recovery. It did not before I even flashed Malladus, so I know it is not that. I got into recovery only because of flashify, and I was able to boot into. But shouldn't the volume down plus power method work? I can't figure out the reason it is not...Anyone know?

The power on/volume down method takes you to a screen to do a factory reset, follow the instructions on the screen and it will take you to your recovery if you have one installed. Don't if you're on stock recovery cause you'll just wipe your phone.
hardware keys to enter recovery. volddown+power then volup+power

steps to enter recovery that worked for my Sprint LG G2 on ZVC firmware.
1) hold power and vol down till you see LG logo -- immediately release these buttons and
2) immediately hold power and vol up button to enter into factory reset menu.
Then 3 presses of power key to confirm wipe and enter TWRP recovery.
I was going mad trying to enter recovery. It appears like different models/software versions have different key combinations for entering recovery mode.
I was installing a new ROM on my rooted D415 when I realized I forgot to format /System on CWM or else the two ROM's would mix together. Being the person I was... I forgot and now I am stuck at the boot screen. P.S I can not access recovery mode and my computer will not detect my phone no matter how hard I try. I NEED HELP...
You can access recovery by turning off your phone, press together vol- and power buttons. When you see LG logo release and press again power button while still pressing vol-. You will see a screen asking you if you want to format your device. Select YES twice. You should be now in recovery.
Also TWRP is recommended recovery for L90 from what I have heard off.
