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.

Awesome. Didn't know this!
Thanks
@jadengore : I was stick in a bootloop, and your thread helps me a lot !
Big thanks !
:good:
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.
hardware keys to enter recovery. voldown+power then volup+power

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. Sorry for noob English.
2. My S4 home broken.
3. Before i format System partition i use power menu to enter recovery mode
3. After i formar System partition i got Samsung and GT-i9500 at start up and got black screen ever
4. How i can enter to recovery mode to install new rom ?
Ignore the home button. Try pressing just Volume + and Power.

Thx bro for answer !!!
When i try pressing just Volume + and Power
My phone restart and black screen and restart and black screen TT
Flash a stock ROM through Odin. That should get you back to a running state. From there you can customize as needed. None of the key combinations need the home button to work, so you shouldn't have issues. But, you should repair that home button anyway.
if you still have a recovery then you need to let go of the buttons as soon as you see blue text at the top of the screen. if you continue holding the buttons it will try to boot the rom...
With broken home you can not enter recovery mode or download mode. Recommend replace a new home button or sell it to buy a new phone.
I dont think you need the home button. Press and hold volume up. Then press power button and release it after a few sec but keep holding volume up.
Same method applies for download mode only then with volume down.
@DSA: Next thing you know, he will have a way to reset the Knox flag.
Hello! When I power the device on the Samsung Logo appears for 1 second and then it turns off. I can go in download mode but can't in recovery. It just flashes again the Samsung logo and turns off. I tried to flash stock firmware via Odin. It was a success but again the same thing happened. Did I brick the device? Thanks!
When you flashed recovery, did you uncheck auto reboot and boot into stock recovery to perform a factory wipe before booting for the first time?
Does the rom boot?

The actual way to enter recovery is.
Volume up+home+power button
As soon as you see the Samsung logo..leave the combo then within a jiffy press the volume up+home button (no power button...NO POWER BUTTON!!!)
You will enter recovery.

the far simpler method is boot off, then hold volume up and power together (nothing else) until you see blue text at the top of the screen. at this point you instantly want to let go of everything, and that's it...
I've bricked my phone before with mobile Odin and it took out my recovery so I guess it's possible the OP might not actually have one.
@3mel, the stock rom combo is vol up + home + power button.
What you are reffering to is the custom rom combo. For some reason they are different.

that I did not know... my phone hasn't been stock for many moons:good:
hello
i'm new here at the forum.
i have a problem with the superman rom
i rooted my phone i installed the rom but now my phone is already 30 minutes on a red screen ( from the superman rom i think )
i cant go anymore to the recovery by using volume up home and power buttom.
what can i do? help please i need my phone :crying:
able to reboot the phone by keep pressing the power button?
if can.. 1st times reboot immediately pressing volume up, home and power button and it will reboot again.. A 2nd times reboot release the power button only.
Red screen = wrong kernel flashed (you flashed s7 flat kernel on s7 edge)(There's an option to select kernel during installation. You probably selected wrong option or didn't check it)
This can be solved easily by flashing the right kernel.
Everything but display should still work normally, so you should be able to enter recovery by holding power+home+volume up when the phone is off or before the s7 logo come up.
If you still cannot enter recovery mode. You can enter download mode by holding power+home+volume down and flash stock firmware with it and start over. But for this problem, you probably not need to do this.

Hey mate,
like NonXtreme said, it looks like you installed the wrong kernel, so just reboot your device by pressing Power + Home + Vol Down, and when the device shut down press directly Power + Home + Vol Up, now you should get into the recovery.
Now you have to reinstall the Rom with the correct Kernel! (g935f maybe).
Let me know if there are further questions.
So I'm playing around with a Samsung S8 and I'm trying to enter the recovery mode/download mode screen, I'm considering rooting or testing different ROMs I'm fairly new to that and want to try it out.
Anyways log story short.
I turn off the phone, hit the Vol up + bixby + power I hold it till the Samsung logo comes up (even tried holding through the logo as well) and the phone just goes right into android like usual.
The buttons all work I've tested them individually but for whatever reason I cannot get into recovery mode.
Is there something I'm missing?
I've downloaded Odin as another thing I want to fool around with, is there a way for me to use that to enter recovery mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Samsung S8
Unlocked but originally with Rogers in Canada
Security patch updated to Oct 2018

Odin will not get you into recovery/download mode
Getting into these modes is a matter of timing and as with everything takes practice
What I normally do is :
If the phone is powered off
Press power button until phone vibrates then immediately release power button then striaght away before s8 powered by android logo press and hold together at the same time vol up ( or down ) + bixby + power buttons together until in desired mode.
Same goes if rebooting from system
Press power button to bring up power menu hit restart when screen goes blank press and hold button configuration until in desired mode
It's all a matter of getting the timing right
