Unable to boot into recovery

[silverfang77]

I followed the instructions of holding power and volume down until reaching the LG screen, then releasing and pressing them again. It still just boots normally.

Help?

It's different for each version of the phone, if not impossible on some.

For the Verizon version, you boot as normal without any button presses. Wait and it'll go through the LG splash screen and then start the Verizon welcome animation. When the animation starts, press and hold VOL DOWN + POWER. Keep pressing them and the phone will act like it's rebooting, showing the LG splash screen again for a few seconds, then show the recovery screen. If you let off the buttons before getting to the recovery screen, it'll revert to a normal boot process.

I know some other members were trying to figure out how to do it on other versions, but I don't remember if they had any luck. I'm pretty sure at least the AT&T method was still undiscovered the last I saw on here.

I can't believe any carrier would disable such a useful feature. Smh

Was able to boot to recovery. Thanks.

Was able to boot to recovery. Thanks.

Just curious, are you using the Verizon version? If not, which one do you have and what was the method you used?

I can get to the factory reset option or I can clear all my default apps but that's it. No actual menu for anything. No wipe cache partition or anything.

I'm using the VZW version and followed the instructions in the first reply to my question.
