First sry for my bad English.
I Try'd to flash my LG with a new rom.
But I couldn't mount system, so I can not format system. I've got 10h with root access. Any tips or something else?

Can you be more specific please, what rom did you tried to install? What problem do you have with your phone?
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Why would you want to flash another ROM if you already have the latest?
To "mount" the phone, you have to plug it to the PC without the battery and while pressing the Vol - key
I tried to install the custoNexus rom. For that (instructions) I have to wipe data and format system. So I tried this.
I used the lg recovery app, boot into recovery and wipe data, after that I tried to format system and get an error that the system couldn't be mounted.
Once again I'm sorry for my bad English

Turn off your phone, press and hold the VOL - key then turn on the phone while holding the key...
Once you see the LG logo and the phone vibrates, you can let go... it will enter the recovery mode... then you'll see tha "wipe data" option... select that with the power button... confirm once again and then reboot...

I don't know very well what you're trying to do but, if you're talking about reset the phone to factory settings just turn OFF the phone (with the battery), press "Vol-" +"Power button", you'll be in Android Recovery System".
Now select wipedata/ factory reset and hit power button, in the next menu select "yes" and hit power button again.
Wait untill you have the first menu and select reboot and hit power button.
If you're trying to install any rom from Dexter, pay attention to the tutorial. If you need ask him for help.

INSTRUCTIONs
Factory reset / WIPE before you install, as during installation of this ROM it will only install and clean system partition automatically. you are responsible for factory reset .
Alternatively - use original recovery where you factory reset as well. (VOL- + powerOn, remove usb cable, or you get to wrong menu)
Install the release using latest ClockWorkMod , using "install zip from external sdcard". this is a regular "update.zip" type of install.
This zip do not include the CWM installer i made, so install it seperately, but do NOT press install cwm, just use it to start recovery.
If you want some default apps removed, just delete those in the zip file. you find them these in the /system/app directory
Settings panel might be divided in 2 rows. If you like the old phone 1 row panel, enter ROM control -> General UI -> enable dual panel , and enable it. exit setting and reenter and unclick it. and you are done.

Long story short, i need to get to the Recovery Mode without using the hardware buttons.
My home button broke, i was trying to flash stock rom from pc odin (to sent it to warranty), and now i cannot setup my phone (i'am stuck at the welcome screen, some processes FC), maybe because i did not wipe data.
So, can i enter the recovery mode without the home button? Via abd commands?
I can only enter download mode as i do not need the home button.
Or, is there some way to wipe data / factory reset via download mode?
Flash simply wipe rom with pc odin.
But how can get.download mode without home button ?with jig?

That's odd, because that's the stock ROM i flashed ( N7000OXXLB3 ) .. But i think it did not wipe.
I will try to flash it again.
EDIT: Same thing, it seems to only format cache?
This is driving me nuts , am i screwed?
No, wipe.version.should wipe.data too.
Just confirm that rom is.wipe or not
Extract 1 step deep (to .tar) if you can see.data.img file is there, then only it is wipe rom.

Thanks, let me try another ROM .
Ok , i'am a little stupid, did not see the (WIPE VERSION) all around the names of the ROMS lol . I will choose one of them
if you just want to go to recovery mode.. minus your hardware button... no need for all the hassles....
look for an app in google play called quick reboot... it needs root though but when you tap on that app.. one of the options there is recovery... you can boot your phone on recovery just by installing and simply using that app and with your phone(rooted)
He has already use pc odin to flash rom, so naturally.won't have root, and juat doing for warranty purpose, so i don't think he.shud flash custom kernel to get root.with pc odin, as in defected device, you can't take chance to raise counter.

The thing is, i don't have access to the system, i'am stuck at the welcome screen.

You can enter recovery with adb...enable usb debugging, plug the phone and open a cmd as admin in the pc. Then type: adb reboot recovery...Done!!
See above, i did not have access to the system
But it is solved now, thanks,
Hi my phone is unuseable now...
Everytime the messege Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stpped. Try again pops up.
I can't (or just don't now how to) enter recovery.
I also can't go to settings because the message pops up every 2 seconds.
When I click Force Close it goes back to the launcher.
Can I do a factory reset (I think it is solved then)?
How do I do that?

I'm rather sure you only have Recovery if you installed CWM. Than just press power long and select it from that menu.

Press volume - (not +) button and power button same time for a while...you get into factory reset mode...
then you can have options and proceed

A simple Factory Reset would probably be enough but when you can't do it.
i think there is factory reset in secret menu

What ROM do you have installed? A stock one, or a custom ROM?
Infact in both ways you can do a factory reset by:
Plug in USB cable, enable usb debugging (if you have a custom ROM, it always should be on),
download the adb package from my noob how to (see attachments)
cd to the directory containing the adb files, type:
adb reboot recovery
Now you either are in CWM and can do the wipes 1 by 1, or if you have a stock ROM, it will perform
a factory reset right away
If all of that doesnt work, you have to use smartflashtool!

It's running the stock ROM and I thought USB debugging was disabled.
Can't I put firmware on a sd card that will flash automatically without recovery or going into the menu?

Hi,
I was trying to install 2.3.6 DDKQ6. The Odin process finished successfully and restarted the phone. But now the phone is in a boot loop. It keeps getting restarted after 2 seconds. I can't get to recovery mode.
I can access download mode but flashing even again (different ROM) doesn't work.
Please help me
Edited 10-22-2012: Still no solution found. I have tried many ROMS and even tried to flash stock recovery. Senior members, please suggest next step
Please, anyone has a solution to this problem?

Make sure the rom is in your region. Dont install a rom from another country. Try get to recovery mode with button combination. Search for more tutorials.

As long as ur phone is bootlooping, it can enter in stock recovery. So, take out battery, re-insert it, goto STOCK recovery & do "wipe data/factory reset" & wipe cache. It worked for me & for most of us too!!

I have tried the recovery button combination a lot of times. I believe recovery comes after the logo screen? But my phone keeps rebooting before even showing the logo screen.

I think
first comes the Samsung logo (no matter which ROM u have installed).
then comes your device logo (varies with the kernel installed).
then boot-screen.
If you press home+power button u will enter into the stock recovery console(if cwm or other recovery is not installed).
And if you don't press the home+power button then you will boot normally.
Be on the safe side
Press home+power button until u see the recovery console.
Most of the boot-loops can be solved by wiping up cache and factory reset.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Edit:
Try some after market ROMs they are way more fast and efficient than stock Samsung GB ROM. Try Apocalypse or
Democracy.
Just hold the power button and home button... release it when you see SAMSUNG.. flash the rom again if still you dont get any help...

No adb-windows.exe this directory.
And what we do?
Read the build file damn.. we have full access to recovery .. on a powered on phone... forget the recovery ..
# Enable RecoverySystem to emit "factory-reset" reset string
# instead of "recovery" when doing a factory reset. This is
# useful when implementing factory reset without the entire
# recovery framework.

Recomend wiping phone before flashing anything to avoid errors , fc and bootloops from the settings meny.. there is NO button combination

If you do the adb reboot recovery just once you should be able to boot into recovery by holding Power + Menu buttons.
Are you sure?
Well I'm not a 100% if that's what you mean.

Another method
1. Up the new rom that is rooted by odin. That's mean your phone has rooted
2. You install quick boot app from the market play. Then open quick boot and hit recovery

yeah, it also works with rom toolbox (-> rebooter -> reboot in recovery) and rom manager (-> reboot in recovery).

You need ROOT

Wow .. Your solution is easier than mine I should have known that method earlier ... Usually .. when I stuck in bootloop ... I will Force the phone to enter Recovery Mode ...
1.Press the Download Mode Key Combination ( VOL down + Home + Power )
2.After that, the phone will warn you right ?? Choose cancel (VOL down)
3.After you pressed Vol Down the phone will try to reboot .
4.When the phone try to reboot,press the Recovery Mode key combination BUT without pressing power button. Press ONLY the three button.
5.The phone will enter recovery Mode.
6.Full wipe the Phone and/or restore your backup.
It works for me EVERYTIME ..
If it is not working for you,just try again .. Your timing in STEP 4 must be PERFECT !!
