i decided to do a factory reset via privacy settings and now im stuck at the android logo and the phone wont boot up into the the home screen... please help.
So does a factory reset from the recovery not work?
Hold down volume up and volume down while turning on the phone.
If you cannot get this menu, you will have to reflash your phone, starting with fastboot and flashing the recovery.img for your chosen stock rom, or streakmod if you are using a custom rom.
Or, you could try QDLTool, see the wiki for more help with fastboot and stock roms and images etc, and the rom development forum for streakmod and custom roms.

So I was rooted with Clockword recovery. I just updated rom manager to 3.0.0.0 and flashed the new recovery image with it. Through the UI, I tried to do a backup but when the phone restarted, it was stuck at the fastboot screen. I tried to manually go into Recovery, but the screen goes black -> google -> fastboot. Tried to turn it off and hold volume ^ + power = fastboot but still can't get into recovery.
Advice?

As long as you can still get into fastboot you should be recoverable. Head over the development section and grab a copy of the CWM 2 recovery image and try re-flashing it. That should at least put you back to where you can get into Recovery.
You could also try the stock recovery image in one of the threads there, but I've seen reports that it doesn't boot either.
Here's the thread for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875

You have a few options.
1) load the PD15IMG and boot into Hboot and reset the entire system, but you will have a clean slate and have to start 100% over again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863899
2) boot into HBoot and navigate to (recovery) and see what type of a recovery image you have. If it is orange you can load Cyanogen CM7RC1 w/ the G/APPS and get your phone rocking with 2.3 (Gingerbread)
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15769-cyanogenmod-7-for-mytouch-4g-v700-rc1-2152011/
3) boot into HBoot and navigate to (recovery) and see what type of a recovery image you have. If it is Green then you can load any 2.2 based ROM. along with the G/APPS (if needed) there are many of these in the Development section.
4) If you have a triangle with a "!" in it then you need to flash a recovery image. Once again there are multiple threads on this in the development section.
(to get into HBoot turn off the phone, power on the phone holding the volume down button and the power button)
I have installed CyanogenMod on many devices before, and have never had as many issues as with the LG G2.
I was able to install CWM Recovery, and I used that to backup my existing ROM, and to Install CM-10.2, the build for the vs980.
After installing, and rebooting, I am getting stuck on an infinite boot screen. And I have no idea how to bot into recovery.
The default boot to recovery / factory reset screen is supposed to be, holding the power button until the LG Logo appears, then prelease, and hold again... This does not work, it just goes right back into trying to boot CM.
If I hold Power + Vol+, I enter some Firmware Update screen.
How would one enter CWM Recovery using only hardware? And how can I fix my infinite bootloop?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
**Edit**
I found out that I was going into this mode, and not recovery / factory reset... because I was still plugged in via USB... As soon as I unplugged, I was able to do this as expected.
Mod, please delete. I am unable, and I have solved my own problem.
My phone won't boot after installing the latest DU custom rom. I followed the steps here https://plus.google.com/+AlexCruz/posts/JJ5d9v6DArW - rooted and installed latest clockwork mod recovery, did a backup, and wiped everything, then installed the custom rom. But now it is stucked at the Dirty Unicorns boot screen.. Please help.
Some extra info: I was on 4.2.2 (802 international) before the flash
Edit: i can't even get to recovery now, by holding power and volume down buttons at LG logo. Is my phone dead?

Are you getting to the factory hard reset prompt? You have to go through that to get back into the recovery. Then you can just restore from Backup.

--This is copied and paste from another thread--
"You should be able to get to CWM recovery by using the hardware button (power and volume down held down, flash LG logo for a second, and then shuts off--only then you can turn it back on by holding power and volume down together until LG logo pops on, then let go of both buttons quickly, hold down both power and volume down again, and then quickly let go of the volume down button: a white factory reset screen should pop up and then you can push power button alone twice to enter CWM recovery).
If above does not work, you may need to KDZ back to stock using download mode (google LG G2 download mode) and USB cable (the one that comes with the phone as some USB cable won't work as they're charge only cable). You'll have to reroot with IOROOT25 and start over again."

I have no idea what fastboot or download mode is but your phone should be soft-bricked? If you can get into recovery or the factory reset screen you should be safe.
I wasn't able to get into the recovery at first but then I kept trying and trying and managed to get in by luck. Lol. I then wiped everything including Dalvik cache in Advanced and rebooted and was relieved to find it booted into Dirty Unicorns. I guess i was lucky.
I recently installed twrp instructions and installed a custom ROM. Even since then the device boots normally into twrp recovery only. to boot into the rom, I have to boot through recovery, press power + volume dn and then it boots to the regular ROM. Should I start over on this or is there a way to change that preference so the device boots normally into the OS instead of twrp.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else already. I looked.

I am facing same issue. I don't have twrp or custom rom but stock recovery and stock rom. Everytime I boot or restart my phone it goes to recovery mode!! I couldn't find solution yet and its very annoying.
Try following the steps in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325 Of course, ensure you have backups before erasing anything.
