yes, same thing.

did you rooted and unlook the bootloader?

Some details ... ROM version, root, bootloader ...

I also cannot boot to recovery mode. Is there any other way? I cannot flash CM 10 because I can't go cwm
Please help. I am using the version v10k it is rooted. I have ROM Manager, I tried the ADB reboot recovery and the manual cwm volume + - home power. Please help.

Same problem
Have the same issue:
When i boot into recovery, either with volume + - home power buttons pressed or by using the "reboot into recovery" from rom manager i end up in a black screen with only the device keys lighten up. The only way to move further is to remove the battery from the device.
Have:
Recovery: CWM 6.0.2.8
Device: LG-P700
FW: android 4.0.3
Kernel: 3.0.8-perf
BN: IML74K
SW no: V10i
the official rom, rooted with the procedure in t he link bellow, supersu installed. cwm has been granted su access.
The recovery i installed first using the procedure from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486512 and had the black screen. THen upgraded / reinstalled using rom manager, and have again the same black screen.
Any help would be appreciated

Try to flash cwm again..

Have you installed BOOTLOADER? If you already have then you can do these steps:
1. Remove the battery and wait for a few seconds then put it back.
2. Press Volume Up + Volume Down + Home + Power Button
3. After the phone vibrates just release Power Button only.
4. Wait until CWM screen appears.
If it fails, repeat back from step 1 to 4.
Keep on trying. It works for me.

You need to install BOOTLOADER so that you can use CWM.

Hi and thank you for the answer.
I followed the steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486512 "INSTALLING CWM(CLOCKWORK MOD)" section and after rebooting to recovery i got to the recovery options screen. Flash_Bootloader.bat did the work, as you mentioned bootloader.
Thanks for your help!

I'm having the same problem as many guys here (don't know how many have been able to solve it), i.e. after trying to boot into clockworkmod recovery, the result is nothing but a black screen and button lights on. My goal has been to flash CyanogenMod 10 from recovery, yet without success. I've tried booting manually pressing the volume up +, volume -, home, and power buttons, and via both ROM Manager and adb, always ending up with the black screen.
I've also tried to flash CWM several times in ROM manager and in addition to that I've followed the instructions given here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486512. (Entering the commands in Flash_Bootloader.bat and Flash_Recovery.bat files in terminal.)
I'm using rooted Lg Optimus L7, android 4.0.3, V10k, kernel 3.0.8-perf. CMW version is 6.0.2.8. Computer that I've used in the process is running Ubuntu 14.04 if that matters.
I appreciate any help!

Download QUICK BOOT REBOOT from google play. Run it and then from the menu you can enter into recovery mode (CWM).

Unfortunately, that does not make any difference. All I get is the flaming black screen.

This happened to me too...it often happened when I was too impatient to wait for the phone to shut down completely so I could enter recovery mode... If you still have a working OS just shut it down and wait for it to be off completely then hold both volume up and down + the home button then power button, when the LG logo appears then disappears release the power button and continue holding both volume up and down+ the home button till in recovery. If that doesn't work try removing the battery, plugin power source when holding both volume up and down buttons + home button (Crude method, but it worked for me).

[Q] Return to stock rom (LG GT540)

Hello!
I got cyangenmod 7.1.0 with swiftdroid and now I want to return to stock ROM. I tried this tutorial but without success, when I plug in my phone and press start nothing happens. Is there any easier way (for noobs)?
I got LG GT540.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
solution software bricked
After flashing with stock rom v2.1 successfully using kdz updater, the phone was stuck on boot logo or there was infinite boot load cycle (depends of the stock rom used).
Now, if you have software bricked LG GT540 before becoming another brick of your house try this:
1. Install Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread Cyanogenmod 7.1 using this
Code:
modaco.com/topic/344369-2nov11-android-237-gingerbread-swiftdroid-cm-71-for-lg-gt540-new-method/
tutorial. Now I want to mention ignore step 9 because you obviously can't boot. Now other thing to boot into fastboot mode press VOLUME UP + SEARCH button and plug the USB cable into the PC. If that don't works press VOLUME UP + SEARCH + POWER ON and wait until FastBoot Mode is shown on the screen of the phone or nothing is shown on the screen (don't worry if you see nothing you're probably in fast boot mode). Then proceed with the rest of the tutorial.
2. Now if you have your phone up and working and want to upgrade to ice sandwich follow this
Code:
androidforums.com/lg-optimus-gt540/494941-update-4-0-lg-gt-540-a.html
tutorial Section 2.
I was messing around all day to workaround this problem and the conclusion is that: this is the ONLY way it worked. I tried all possible ways to flash to stock rom but still stuck on the boot logo.
Hope that I helped someone with the same problem.
Regards.

Cool it works like a charm. I found this .zip with European Open V20A + fastboot.
Btw, do you know what combination of keys would put me in CWM (when starting the phone) or how to get "POWER button until it appears to turn off the menu, select REBOOT and then select RECOVERY, the phone will reboot into Recovery Menu." ?
I tried pressing Power Off+Home or only Home on LG logo but still nothing, it just went into safe mode.
Thanks a lot for the help.

[Q] Help booting into Recovery

Hi guys, I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed CWM from:http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, I've flashed and didn't get any errors, boot to Android and did "adb reboot recovery", I get in a screen with the android with a red triangle, stayed for some mins and nothing, I turned off and boot to Android, turned off again and turn on by Power + Vol -, Select Recovery and samething...
obs: I used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 and downloaded this SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
How can I boot to recovery?
Another thing does SuperSU v1.51 works on Android 4.3?
Thanks
The screen with just a red triangle is stock recovery. Press and hold power and press volume up and you should get the stock recovery menu.
Try flashing CWM from fastboot manually as it's not taking with ROM Manager (which I don't rate anyway)

[Q] Can't boot recovery with button combo

It's very strange - I can't get to recovery by holding down power + vol-up + home buttons. The message comes up that it's booting recovery but then disappears for a second and then either powers off or boots normally.
I can boot into recovery through the toolkit/odin/goomanager however and I've also found that I can boot into recovery if I first go into download mode, press vol-down to cancel download and boot normally and then immediately press the vol-up/power/home button combination.
I have TWRP installed but I previously had philz CWM and this problem happened with both. If i remember rightly the first recovery I tried to install was the original CWM with odin but when I booted into recovery it was still the stock recovery. I'm not sure if this information is necessary though.
Can anyone help me with this or why this could be happening?

When was the last time you updated SuperSU?
Go to the playstore and download/install the latest version reboot the phone normally and after reboot reboot into recovery.
Good luck!
Thanks, that worked. I can now get into recovery with the button combo.

Stuck in Recovery

Well...not permanently. I can boot out of it.
I just rooted successfully with the method here.
When I boot into recovery, I see the horizontal android with his chest open and a red triangle. I can boot up by holding the volume (either up or down) and the power button.
ClockworkMod tells me I have both clockworkmod and TWRP installed. How do I successfully boot into Recovery?
Thanks guys!
Boot into recovery with vol down+power then use the vol rocker to cycle to recovery mode. Use power button to execute. Pretty sure it says all that when you see the android screen..
Sent from my LG-LS980
Thanks but I don't have that option in Recovery.
An update: I followed the instructions here about installing a recovery tool by pushing it through adb. What I get now is the following:
[730] Fastboot Mode Started
[780] udc_start()
Is this a soft brick? If so, how do I reverse it? I'm very frustrated!
Thanks,
Phil

Can you get into download mode? Volume up + power. If so next go to lg g2 general forum and read the flash lg g2 to stock.
If your stuck in fast boot then there is another hoop to jump through. I'll get you the info in The morning.

Almost there. Got it rerooted, successfully installed TWRP. Flashed cyanogenmod (newest nightly). Forgot to install GAPPS though!
I don't see an option to reboot into recovery from cyanogenmod.
What's the process for rebooting into recovery? I've tried different combinations with the volume and power buttons but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Phil

[ROOT] Xperia Z1C 14.5.A.0.270 (unlocked bootloader)

This file is in folder D5503_14.5.A.0.270_XZDRKernel2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable.zip\tmp
Don't delete the zip, we need.
- Download Super user here :
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
Take the last beta version

When phone is in fastboot state (look at log on main window), press "Select Kernel to hotboot"
Select Boot.img file
The phone will reboot.
When phone vibrate, press volume down lot of time to get recovery mode
Information : If you don't arrive to enter in recovery mode, restart all this step. With hotboot, Kernel is install only for one boot. So in case of problem, your kernel is not modify after a new restart. So, if you don't enter in recovery directly, phone will restart with default Kernel, and without recovery mode.
- With recovery, install
"D5503_14.5.A.0.270_XZDRKernel2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable.zip"
and
"UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"

Hi i'm having a problem with this method.
Everything goes well until the :
"The phone will reboot.
When phone vibrate, press volume down lot of time to get recovery mode"
part
The phone never vibrates
I figured "whatever maybe i had my phone on silent or something"
So i press volume down a bunch of times and get thsi in the log.
"device connected in flash mode"
with no LED light at all.
after a whle the phone reboots normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have done. Thanks.
But I have a little problem. Supersu need kod update. I choice normal but failed
sorry I solved my problem. update su 2.49 beta problem solved
Is there a way without having to unlock bootloader?
Hey, is there a way without having to unlock bootloader?
I had root before the update, and updated through PC companion, and then I lost my root. I use stock rom and only use the root for aps and tasker.
Thanks

Normally, after hotboot with Kermel from Nut's zip. The phone restart, Led becomes green and phone vibrate. it's do this before boot animation.
I get this all time. But i hotboot 2 or 3 times because i don't press good volume button and i press not in good time.
Hotboot install kernel only for one boot ! If you need to do again operation, you need to send Boot.img again

I've tried several times an phone never vibrates after restart! Period! I've been pressing volume down and it just enters in flash mode just like in "projecticarus001" case.
If you know solution please tell me what to do.
is recovery necessary?
hi...should i have recovery installed before I do this? I just have stock .270 rom with an unlocked bootloader.
Hi guys, i have the same problem! :X I've tried a lot of times and my phone is never vibrating and letting me get in to recovery mode :X
Ok, who is crazy here? I simply go to the kernel download page and it says that i need to build one...then i go to the SuperSu downlaod and there isnt any latest beta option or ony other option except to download. Am i blind as hell or what ?
I can't get recovery mode.
I have tried several times and nothing happened when i press volume down button during green light before boot animation

I guess you had the same problem as I experienced yesterday.
From NUT's website, the D5503_14.5.A.0.270_XZDRKernel2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable.zip is not available any more, but the 2.8.21 version instead. I could not get into any recovery by hotbooting the boot.img from the 2.8.21 zip.
Instead, I used the boot.img out of the CM11 to hotboot / enter recovery by pressing vol-down and continued as stated in the OP from there (flash NUT's recovery, and the SuperSU zip).
It worked for me, maybe you'll have as much luck
loop on starting
hello
my problem is that when start the phone only vibrates and restarted again
