I should know how to do this but I can't seem to get it to work.
I would like to reboot into recovery so I can flash updates.
I have CM 10.2 EMMC installed (with CWM) and it seems to be working fine.
However, when I try to reboot into recovery, it just does a normal reboot.
Even when I use the cwm auto update, it doesnt work.
I tried pressing the home and power button but that doesnt seem to work either.
Did I install it wrong?

Maybe.
How are you rebooting to recovery? With the power off menu?
What is CWM auto update?
And do you have the timing right on the power/n reboot?

I've tried the power off menu, quickboot app.
I mean the cyangenmod update
I think I have the timing right on the buttons, but its not working.

The quickboot app does not work for booting to recovery. But "Reboot to recovery" by wikilabs in Play Store is sure fire. If that does not do it, you have installed recovery wrong.

Did you know that there is a safe mode in our OB, i don't know why its needed but i guess if you have installed an app which has caused your phone to crash you don't need to wipe everything and install the rom again, you can just boot into safe mode and uninstall the faulty app and reboot your phone into normal mode.
none of the user installed apps show up in the safe mode, just the stock apps LG pre-installed.
When turning on your phone keep pressing the G-button and you will boot into safe mode.
Hit the thanks button if i helped in any way.

Not really! I said the safe mode not the recovery mode. Plus the OB has no key combo to enter into recovery mode.

Are you SURE your rom is pure stock?
Because there is G-key combination to enter recovery mode while booting on custom roms. I could never get a 'safe mode' on stock roms...
Maybe I'll try this later when I'll goto stock rom again XD

"Safe mode" remembering me those old days on PC, when playing with shareware applications then it refuse to uninstall. Then this Safe mode was only the way...

Fore Recovery mode Use
C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\External\FirmwareUpdate\GT-I8190\adb-windows.exe
command "adb-windows reboot recovery"

Can you explain more details.
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.
ro.factoryresetwithoutrecovery=true
Sry my harsh words
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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
yeah, it also works with rom toolbox (-> rebooter -> reboot in recovery) and rom manager (-> reboot in recovery).

You need ROOT
I'm currently trying to restore a broken Galaxy Mini with no menu button by installing CM9, but I'm having issues getting the thing into download mode, so I can install CWM via Odin. So far tried the combinations of Home+Power+Volume, and Back+Power+Volume with no results. Any suggestions?
Volume down + home + power should work

Not working, and nor does any other combination. Is there any other way to enter the download mode?

if you still on cm9, there's an option to go to download mode via reboot menu on power button.
if not, find a reboot app from play store..
I once broke the power button so I can't put the phone to any mode, imagine that.

Sadly the device does not have CWM or any other recovery installed, so using the CM power menu or a root app is out of the question. I'm thinking more along the lines of ADB commands, or windows batch files that could force the device into download mode.

Hi everybody,
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?

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.

I do not have access to a pc qnd so am unable to get into stock recovery the 'easy' way.
I saw instructions on holding down the up volume button qnd power buttin, then releasing the power button after the first white samsung logo appears. i hqvr tried this many times to no avail.
I will not have access to a computer for the forseeable future. Does this mean i am stuck on stock 2.3.5 or is their actually a way to boot into stock recovery right from the phone?
Thanks !

I have a quick question about this. I have never done any of the holding buttons down while you reboot nonsense to get to recovery. If I hold in the power button I get a menu. I can shut down, restart, go into recovery or start the bootloader. I just select recovery and hit restart. It boots into TWRP. Am I missing something? It seems to have worked fine with my latest rom. Maybe this situation explains the trouble i was having loading AOIP.
