Hello fellow G Flex owners. I've got a little problem with the phone: i simply cannot get into recovery.
I have tried every combination of buttons on reboot but no success. The phone just boots normally. If course I have also tried the "normal" method: device off, vol down + power till lg logo appears, release power for a second and repress,
In case this matters, I have got the european model D955
Really appreciate your help
Did some Google searching and can't seem to find anything on how to do this. I to wonder how to do this without having a custom recovery installed.

I rooted my 2X with super one click and installed CWM 5.0.2.0 using rom manager. I used the rom manager to reboot in to recovery for the first time, then I tried to boot into recovery by holding down vol- & power but instead of taking me to recovery it gets stuck at LG logo. I had to remove the battery to reboot the phone.
Any one got a solution for this.
It works now, I just kept holding Vol- & power button for around 10 secs after the LG logo apeared then released and it went to recovery.

It isnt rom manager is an app that lets you quickly reboot to CWM witput pressing any buttons
Yup, this was the first time I tried to boot into recovery manually. These apps are no use once you flash a new baseband using smartflash as it will do a full wipe of the device and you have to enter recovery manually.

the tricky part is to release the power button at the right time, or immediately the first menu item (= reboot system now) will be executed.
You are absolutely right, I just released the buttons as soon as the LG logo appeared. As a result it gets stuck and I have to remove the battery.

hisham i did the same but my phone is stuck on the logo too....i tried to boot in recovery mode but its still stuck/////
Try booting into recovery again, this time hold the Vol- and power button a little bit longer (maybe 15 or 20 secs) and also try updating CWM to the latest using ROM Manager.

I dont have a clue whats going on but you can use smartflash to restore the device to factory. If anyone has a better solution please tell.

Give this a try
Same here
I have almost the same problem. That is, when I try booting to recovery from ROM manager, my phone is stuck on the LG logo (red one), but when I try holding vol- and power button to boot into recovery it just does a regular boot.
I recently went from CM7 to a new stock ROM using Smartflash tool, but I want to change back due to lack of apps available.
I have also installed CWM from the AIO-toolkit for P990, but this didn't help. I still cant boot into recovery.
Does anyone have a solution to this? I want to flash a new ROM rather than the stock LG one.
with CWM 5.x.x.x you have to push and hold both power an volume- and after CWM screen is started DO NOT release the power button first but release the volume- first (keep powerbutton pushed all the time) and push volume- once so it does not choose the reboot option.
Then release both buttons, "scroll" with vol- or vol+ and "enter" with powerbutton
First time i used the CWM5.XXX the "reboots" did drive my creazy
Occurred to me too and solved flashing TG v28g (which has root and recevery attached).
Hey guys, sorry for the cliche first post, but believe me I have been searching and reading all night and day for a problem similar to mine.
I was running CM9 on my Droid 3 and was having trouble because my phone kept running in safe mode, which was causing some of my apps to not work, and when I turned safe mode off, it ran the stock droid OS, which I didn't want. Therefore, I manually turned my safestrap off (first mistake) so now I can't get into it. Alternatively, my volume down button doesn't seem to be working so I can't select AP Fastboot to flash my phone back to factory settings and eliminate all my woes. When I try to power my phone on manually, all it does is load me into the BP Flash screen, which to my understanding doesn't work (why did they put it in?). I've tried to press the down direction key and power to shortcut into AP Fastboot, as well as power button volume down, neither of which work. I can get into the screen with Normal boot, recovery, etc but cannot select anything, and it just goes to normal boot and proceeds to bootloop. Is there anything I can do in this predicament? Any help is much appreciated.
If you can, try using the keyboard arrow keys to navigate the boot menu.. I've never tried it before but its worth a shot.

When it vibrates as before - quickly release the power button only

I wonder is the OP referring to the changed sequence after the Jelly Bean update?
I have a different 'fastboot not working' problem - many of us have bricked phones saying 'service required, code corrupt'. Everyone with this brick seems to be saying they cannot get the device in fastboot.
Had the same problem, all I had typo do was wait for the screen to flicker and then I let go of both buttons. That'll take you straight to fast boot mode

hi, i have a big problem.
I can enter in the boot selection menu with vol+ and vol- button but when i select ap fastboot, the razr turn off and if i connect to the pc, it doesn't be recognised and i can't reflash the rom.
Any solution? i read a lot of topics but no way to solve until now! :crying:
thanks,

Ok, so, after flashing the recovery to my gear while it is in download mode I held down the power key and got it to the menu with download, recovery, and continue. and i selected recovery and it should show the TWRP logo, right? it doesnt. it just turns off. and if i hold down the power key it just reboots normally into the stock gear android interface. am i doing something wrong???
It seems like your doing everything right but some where your missing something AU

I've always found the power button methods a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 goes of what seems like doing the same thing before it works.
The easiest and fastest way to get into recovery for me is to connect to the pc and type
adb reboot recovery

Is there a reason you created 2 identical threads in the same forum?

Power off. Try holding volume down and power at the same time
