Help getting into recovery

[EdenGottlieb]

I installed Mahdi ROM after being at CM 11 and I wanted to go back to CM 11.

I did a full wipe and restored using a NANDROID backup and the device won't boot up.

I tried some key combinations and Adb fastboot recovery but couldn't manage to get it into recovery, how do I do that? thanks

EDIT:ADB worked. Please close thread or delete it

EDIT 2: ADB Doesn't work now!

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

EDIT 3: Nevermind, got it!

for anyone who is in the same sitation like me:
hold power + volume down key until the backlight goes off (after failed boot)
then:
hold power + volume down until the LG logo appears
release power key (DO NOT release volume down)!
then press the power key + volume up key so you're holding all three buttons. a factory reset screen should come up. press power twice (maybe 3 times? dont remember) and then you should have recovery

I don't get recovery....I get a factory reset. I am not sure if this is just deleting all data or is it really resetting the whole device to factory new?

Press yes and it gets you to TWRP or CWM, not factory reset. It is confusing

If I press the power button twice it wipes the tablet, I tried pressing it once and the tablet just restarted?

Can someone please tell me if I do a factory reset here does it even delete the TWRP? I want to send the tablet back. It was rooted and now it's not but I want to make sure that this factory reset takes it all the way back to stock.
I tried the LGMLauncher but after downloading and unpacking the software it stops and tells me it can't connect to the server?

Tried the LG tool?

I did try the LG tool. It downloads the software and then unpacks it and then stops saying the there is no connection to the server. That's as far as it will go. I installed the LG drives but this has happened 4 times with no difference. I know some people are using this tool but it just won't work for me?

Can you try a different computer? It seems to be the only way to come back to perfect stock condition
