hey,
i need to send my hd2 back for repair but unfortunately i can't get into the bootloader! volume up / down buttons do work when im in windows mobile, but when the phone is switched off, i press volume down + power button once and the phone just boots into windows mobile.
is there any other way to restore your phone to the stock spl?
You need to press Vol UP and PowerOn, not Vol Down

On my device it is PowerOn and VolDown. But I have to press and hold the VolDown button till the device is in bootloader mode.

"*Go into BootLoader Mode (turn off phone, then press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press and hold the POWER button. After about 3 seconds the tri-coloured screen should appear)".
Do make sure you are pressing the volume down button hard enough AND for long enough.

tried it but still doesnt go into bootloader mode... i have managed to go into bootloader mode before (with several htc phones i have owned), but i think something is broken this time (my hardware sendbutton also is not working any more, that is the reason why i need to return the phone).

Try running the attached EnterBootloader.exe from your HD2 (unzip, move .exe to phone, run).

Sorry then, Vol UP has been my other phone I haven't flashed the HD2 via SD Card yet.
I just can think that you do not press the Vol DOWN button hard enough or long enough. You have to press and hold the Vol DOWN button and switch on the phone, then lift the power button while still holding the Vol DOWN button.

thank you, with this file it went into bootloader mode, but somehow my hardware-buttons seem to be broken (in win mobile all of them beside the send-button work), when it says "Press power buutton to start update image", I press the power button, but nothing happens!
I guess thats it, no chance to restore SPL and no chance for warranty any more .

Hmm, very weird.
The actual keys are obviously ok - they're just not handled while in bootloader. I'm not sure what exactly is responsible for that, I assume it's not the OS, so perhaps SPL or Radio?
Not sure if it would make any difference, but perhaps you can try reflashing the HSPL (or maybe a different radio?).

when its asking to install the rom (in bootloader) hold down volume up (or whatever key it asks you to press to install) REALLY HARD,
another suggestion, take off the back, the buttons seem easier to press when the back battery cover it off
maybe this will work
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Security > Factory reset.
2. Enter “1234 ” and then tap Yes.
Ooops!
If your power button does not work it will be impossible to flash from SD card and this is the only way top reflash a stock rom = the only way to uninstall HSPL.
But if this is the power button, then how do you already power up your device ??? Is this your reason to send it to the repair?
You seem stuck in a button my friend...

it is a real wierd problem, i can switch the phone on with the power button and when it is turned on, all keys work beside the talk(send) button. but i can not go into bootloader mode and power button / volume down button to confirm / cancel update when entering bootloader mode with bootloader.exe don't work.
you should really try to reflash radio and hspl again. if you can power on the device the hardwarebutton must work. looks like a software problem...
have you check that you vol down button is working? it happen to me before,
maybe you could contact the hspl maker if he can help you? i have in my mind that he could "hack" the procedure to NOT ask for SEND key press?
Thanks for all your replies. I left the phone off for about 4 hours charging. I switched it on press the vol down button and it worked! How weird / lucky. So I flashed a new rom and I am working again.
Thank you so much for you time.
One last thing though, now in WinMo the vol up and vol down work and the power button work. But the other 4 hardware keys don't, they just force the phone into vibrate/silent mode. When I get a phone call it also turns the volume down/off/vibrate.
Maybe a hardware failure?
Matt
got a bit of a problem. i havent used the omnia 7 in quite a while and i turned it on today and i have forgotten the lockscreen 4 digit code. anyone know how i can remedy the situation please?
Hard-reset? VolumeDown + Camera + Power button.

1. power-off your phone
2. press and hold Camera button and Volume Down button
3. press PowerOn button
4. you will see "Format your phone?" message

thanks for your help sorted now after reflashing
Sorry if this post is redundant, but the methods I've seen haven't worked, so I can't be alone. Here is how to boot into TWRP if your phone is boot looping/soft bricked. (info pulled from here, of all places.)
1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.
Hope this helps someone besides currently frustrated me.
I LOVE YOU! I honestly didn't think this would work but it does and i'm so happy.
just about to make a thread asking how to do this. Glad I searched. way to make you jump through hoops tho.
thanks for this. for me the phone didnt even have to be completely powered off.
i wa sin a sleep of death so i held down power and vol down until lg logo appeared let go and then pressed power again. pressed power 3 more times and it booted into recovery

@jadengore : I was stick in a bootloop, and your thread helps me a lot !
Big thanks !

Also, if you're too scared to try that, I've had success using rom toolbox to reboot into recovery. Of course this is assuming you have a working system.
Thanks very much, but...
Hello,
I unfortunately dropped my VS980, cracked the screen, and the digitizer only works on the bottom portion of the screen. I have a new screen coming, which should fix this issue, however I would like to get my data off my phone (pics), but I can't as I have a password (draw a line/shape kind) and without being able to enter this in, it will not connect to my PC as mass storage.
I was hoping to be able to boot into recovery with hardware buttons and get my data that way, not sure if that is possible either, but at least try it. This I found to work to get me to the factory hard reset screen, but I am skeptical to push the power button and have it wipe my data!
I am open to other options to get to my data if anyone has any, including android device manager which is something I have thought of, but not sure if I can reset the security to nothing, or maybe as the bottom portion of my digitizer seems to work, I can enter in a space or a period for a password and enter that in.
Looking for any guidance!
Thanks!
Got it!
Redid the password with android device manager, which got me in, but I didn't even need to do that as I had the brainwave to plug a mouse in with a usb adapter. Works flawlessly, got my data, now just waiting for replacement screen!
Strange Problem
I am using F-320K[G2], Cloudy G3 Rom, when I hit boot into recovery it does bring me to TWRP but hardware buttons doesn't work. It just restarts the phone.
Vol down+Power till LG logo up, release and press and hold again and after few secs it restartsand came back to LG screen. If I continue to held it it just repeat restating.

steps to enter recovery that worked for my Sprint LG G2 on ZVC firmware.
1) hold power and volume down button till you see LG logo -- quickly release these buttons and
2) immediately hold power and volume up buttons to enter into factory reset menu.
Then 3 presses of power key to confirm wipe and enter TWRP recovery. :good:
I was going mad trying to enter recovery for an hour. It appears like different models/software versions have different key combinations for entering recovery mode.
My phone was stuck at lg logo screen and i didnt have nandroid backup of the phone. so couldn't try the TOT restore method too as i waned my phone data.
Another way to get to Custom Recovery

The way that let me get into custom recovery is different.
I hold 'vol up+power+vol down' to start from turned off state and keep holding it[Don't leave just keep holding the 3 buttons]. It doesn't show factory reset screen, it get me into TWRP[Custom Rom] directly. I heard 3 buttons gets u in safe mode IDK but I got into proper working TWRP.

I have a F320S.
Hold Volume up and press the Power Button,when comes Lg Logo release the Power Button and start the TWRP
if anybody's looking for the information in this thread like i was, and the posted method doesn't work (it did not for me):
1. Power off
2. Hold volume down and power
3a. release both at logo AND press BOTH at logo right after releasing
4a. Enter recovery
You should enter recovery, but if not...
3b. Keep the buttons pressed (your phone might continue into the start animation, but if you keep the buttons press it will return)
4b. The first logo will appear. Release both and press BOTH
5. Enter recovery
hope this helps someone

this worked omg...thanks a million...
Just wanted to contribute here in case anyone else had tried everything listed in this thread and still was unable to boot into TWRP.
I'm on Sprint, stock, rooted ZVE, and I have TWRP 2.7.
1. Power off phone, wait a few seconds to make sure phone is completely off.
2. Hold power and volume down.
3. As soon as LG logo appears, KEEP holding down power... BUT release volume down and SWITCH to holding volume up.
4. After a few seconds, screen appears saying "Recovery mode" and TWRP opens up after that.
1. Download LG Mobile support tool (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B687GQAEIeHiX0ZSeHp2NlhhalU/edit)
2. Install it as a normal software
3. Once it is successfully installed, run the program
4. Put your tablet into Download Mode (make sure the device is Powered Off and Unplugged, Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down, then Plug In a USB Cable)
5. Run the LG Mobile Support Tool program
6. Click on "Options -> Upgrade Recovery" on the upright corner
7. It should start downloading stock firmware right away
8. Wait for it ......
9. A flash will be performed right after Once it finishes downloading
10. Wait until the tablet reboots. Done!!!
You may need to do a factory reset If you stuck in a bootloop
-Power off the device
-Press and hold the Power button and Volume down button at the same time
-When the LG logo shows up, let go both of the two buttons for a second, and then press them again
-A Factory reset promote should be shown on the screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to perform a factory reset.
How big is the download from LG server; is this a full system image or just recovery?

It's about 1.4gb but you can use the flash tool instead just download the kdz then flash via flash tool
We can use Loki to bypass the bootloader, we just need the dev to port the tool to our device! All that needs to be done is for someone to provide the build number and a copy of the aboot partition to him in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358871 - will do this once my device has arrived
This worked and brought me back to stock everything. Perfect for me to return to store. Thanks
Thank you very much ! My tablet not boot with the last slimkat build unofficial....
I only see the UK stock Rom in other threads, will this reset a US tab back to the stock Rom?
Hi, thank you for this tutorial.
I made a huge mistake flashing a 4.4.2 Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617476) on my stock rooted rom (I misunderstood the instruction and thought it was stock-compatible...).
Consequently, my G Pad is not able to boot anymore, even in recovery mode.
After several attempts, I succeed in putting the G Pad in download mode and I followed the procedure described in post #1. During the downloading process, I was surprised that the G Pad "reboots" periodically, by staying in download mode. This didn't bother me until the next recovery step.
Indeed, during the S/W upgrade, this reboot leads to "losts phone connection" error and recovery failure... It seems to append every 2min30s.
Do you have any idea of why it happens or what is it ? Any trick to make the G Pad stay in download mode longer ?
Make sure your device is fully charged and turned off.
Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.
For the OP this is the true hard reset button combination!
Thank's for your advice r3stor3 ! :good:
You were right, my G Pad had indeed too low battery to recover, although it has been plugged all day to my laptop. So I charged it all night with the LG charger and tried the recovery process again in the morning (the one in OP #1, not the hard reset), and it worked !
Nonetheless, after recovery, the system display only 1% battery. But that's another story...
Have a nice day !
[Edit : Nevermind, after being fully discharged, it starts to charge again. Everything is fine now.]
I'd like to flash a custom recovery and cm11 on my LG g pad. I'm worried about my warranty. Does this methods would put my tablet back as day one in order to return it if I ever need to?

Although I didn't try and flash what you did, I wasn't able to put mine into Download mode to recover it either and only received a black screen! Turned out it was just ridiculously low on charge. I knew it was 'working' because with a USB cable in to the PC and holding the power button on the tab it was making connect and disconnect noises. Your best bet is to plug it into the mains charger and hold the power and/or power + vol down (I'm not sure what worked, I did a combination) until you get an LG logo. when you get to that, let it charge fully. (You should see the battery logo on screen)
Shouldn't have a problem once it's fully charged.

There are numerous ways to unbrick the phone, but the way which worked for me is as follows:
Please note that for this to potentially work, a recovery utility such as TWRP should already be present, which is usually the case if you've installed a custom-rom.
Master reset with hardware keys
Power off the device and ensure it is not connected to any USB cables.
At the same time, press and hold the following keys for 8 seconds:
Power key
Volume down key
When the LG Logo is displayed, release and then immediately re-hold the Power key.
When the 'FACTORY HARD RESET' screen displays, release the keys.
Press the Power key to reset or one of the Volume keys to cancel.
Press the Power key to confirm the reset. The reset will start immediately.
Hopefully the phone will go straight into TWRP, from there you can re-install a compatible kernel/bootloader/ROM etc to help unbrick your phone.
The above won't work in all cases, but it worked for me as I was unable to get into recovery until I did the above.
Hope I put this post into the right place and apologies if this has already been discussed in the past, the search facility did not really help me in my hour of need.
Peace
