Try a factory reset. The procedure is in the phone manual. Something like phone off then power and vol. Down at same time then some other things after that. Heard it works for those who royally screw the pooch.

Try IOmonster's method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
It might just work.
EDIT: actually since you can't get into recovery try a different button combo. Some people say pressing all 3 keys at once works, some say just vol down + power.
Are you sure you had enough battery before flashing TWRP?

I don't have a G2, but could you use a Factory cable, which also supplies power and puts the device in Fastboot mode.
As I say, just passing through, so don't know if this is a real option.

I had an issue getting into download mode while bootlooping on an older recovery. U could try leaving phone plugged into computer, repower, then try getting into download mode. Worked for me.

This is a scarry thread!
Any updates?
when I plug the phone to the PC it recognize it as hard drives (more than 10 hard drives with small sizes from 32 meg to 10 meg ) most of them can not be accessed or protected .
than it all I got now
I did the same thing 2 nights ago. I used flashify to flash TWRP but flashed it as boot file causing it to boot loop into recovery. I had to power the phone off through the TWRP interface. Then, with the phone unplugged and off , I held the volume up button for about 3 seconds before inserting the micro usb cable. Keep holding the volume up button until the phone displays download mode. If your laptop still does not recognize your device, make sure you have the correct drivers installed and verify again. Once you are in download mode and your drivers are installed, you can follow the steps in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 post to get your phone back to stock. Worked for me and I thought my phone was donezo. Also, I installed cleanrom after I finished the above process and am loving it. Hope that helps you out mate!

It takes a long time, i had this issue before, just enter recovery manually Volume Down + Power at LG Logo release and press again.
Then flash CM or something it will take a long time but it will fix it.
hey thanks for the reply.
i cannot access recovery at all right now... ill keep trying..
Any other thoughts?

timing is very important for this as i thought there was something wrong, but holding down+power from the off state, see lg logo, immediately release buttons, then hold power key gets you to the factory reset screen. push power to reset, and then it boots into twrp recovery...

Use system recovery in the LG support tool, before connecting the phone to PC turn off completly the volume up + power until U rich download mode. The plug and after PC installs phone, find the Recovery option.

Thanks to your post, I knew I should really give TWRP a chance to restore (which wipes system) and after like 15 minutes, it finished wiping system and moved on.
Thanks for sharing this info.
Hello.
I have an LG G2 802 that i managed to royally screw up last night, I was about to install the new firmware update for my phone, completely forgetting that i had a custom rom installed on it. After the firmware update was finished downloading, the phone rebooted into TWRP and would not boot normally after that, could not boot into the previous custom rom i had installed... I decided to wipe all the data, and try to use an old backup i had laying on the internal storage, got to it, wiped all data and started recovering the old backup. But the revovery wasn't working properly and it gave me an error, after fiddling around with TWRP a little more, i went into wipe -> advanced wipe -> and wiped everything, because i had an idea that i could just force a new rom over by ADB from my PC, and this all resulted in that I have no operating system, the phone boots into TWRP all the time, I've tried to hard reset it, but it just boots into TWRP whatever i do
Please help
Just flash a new KDZ over it. And next time check XDA if someone had the same problem as you and you will find the solution.
I've done a quick search about flashing a new kdz, and they involve getting into download mode, I can't access download mode, it just sends me to TWRP no matter what i do

Ok Hold the power button until the phone flashes twice and then let go off the power button. When it's off, hold volume up and then connect it to USB simultaneously.
I just tried doing that, held the power off button until the LG logo flashed twice, the phone turned off, and then i held volume up button, LG logo appeared and then it just went straight into TWRP

For those who have similar issues, I did the below steps:
1. While connected to computer in CWM recovery, install the drivers via PdaNet (these replace any original LG drivers)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1983470
2. Connect to phone via ADB while still connected in CWM recovery (see below ADB download if you didn't already have it or forgot where it was)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317790
3. While connected via ADB you can use the same method as in the below thread (use the first one).

Tried it, it turns off, then the notification light at the top of the phone (beside the front camera) blinks 8 times if i constantly hold the volume up and power button, as soon as i release power button and volume up, the phone boots with the LG logo and then goes into TWRP.

When the notification LED starts to blink, let go of both buttons for a split second and hold them back again. Make sure USB is connected. Since you have TWRP working, Download should also be available.

The problem is that you have to have the phone off to even attempt to get in to download mode.

If i try to power off the phone WITH the usb cable connected to it, it just reboots automatically, so i cannot power off the phone without it rebooting all by itself, and then going into TWRP.
I tried to hold volume up and power while my phone was in TWRP and it rebooted, LG logo came up and then the red notification light started blinking, then i tried to do what you told me to, quickly release volume up and power button, while the LED was blinking, but nothing happened, other than the phone just rebooting, and then the LED started blinking red again, this just looped over and over again...
Turn it off, hold volume up and connect USB cable. Does it go to download mode?

I had the same problem, stuck on logo lg , when i tried to go to download mode, i got stuck in the first step of it (i can't see the step with firmware update etc...) and when i tried to make a factory hard reset, it goes on the recovery mod.
After seeing many forums since 3-4 days, i tried to flash the kitkat kernel, so i used the adb sideload ---> so connected on recovery mod, then make install from sideload, then on your command (on windows) type adb sideload thenameofthekernel /sdcard/ and normally the recovery should install himself the kernel and you can reboot your phone
I still have an issue, can't access on download mode but i can use the phone as before, so if anyone can help, i listen you ^^

Hold down the power button till the it turns off and keep it held down the LG logo will flash up again then go off after that release it and wait a few seconds making sure the phone does not boot up again. Then hold down the volume up button and with the usb connected to the computer plug the USB into the phone this should then put it into download mode.
Why don't you sideload a rom in twrp recovery via adb?

I am in the same boat as you. Dont' know what to do.
When I try to boot into download mode - I see the initial screen but computer doesn't detect anything
such friends have a big problem with my G2 I want meti up the volume on the stock rom kit kat and so we change the audio xml file I saw in a tutorial here in HTCMania, but restarting the phone will stay locked in bootloop where it says tmobile.
then proceeded to do hard reset thinking that would be solved well but after performing hard reset STAYING was still locked.
well I'll have to reinstall the software and told me when I headed to want to put the phone in download mode (off the phone and press Vol + connect usb cable) to my surprise the phone did not enter the download mode. the only thing it does is connect the cable to charge on and get off.
and since then I can not find a way to revive him because I can not install the software, and "NO I HAVE INSTALLED A CUSTOM RECOVERY" so do not'm desperate someone could throw me a light? if somehow you could do enter download mode on the phone in an alternative way?
my device is a rooted

First i would try getting in to recovery using the hardware keys. Look it up on you tube. Then you should be able to use a back up if you made one.
To get in download mode you need to power off then while powering on hold the vol down key and plug in the usb cable. That will get you in download mode. You shouldn't have to do that though if you have a back up. Your phone isnt bricked?

sorry friend, but is that as explained in the previous post: long press volume + but does not go into download mode, this as locked or not happens.: Llanto:

Press and hold power and volume down until the display shuts off and the LG logo appears. Then, try pressing and holding volume up and volume down until a hard reset option appears. Reset the device and try booting it up. You will lose all data on it, but that's what you get if you're not smart enough to back it all up.

A hard reset will not help if he made changes to the system partition (which it sound like he did). If he has a recovery installed (kind of a weird sentence in the OP) this would take him into the custom recovery though.
@tuberodx7 If all else fails I'm convinced you can get it into download mode if you do it right, something like that should definitely not kill that. From there you can flash a factory image (Search for the return to stock thread in the General forum)... Your device is far from hardbricked, please do your research...

Hey Guys... I've been searching XDA and the internet for a couple hours now on this, and am finally posting. I just got a new LG G2 on AT&T. I rooted with Towelroot, and rushed to change the DPI in Build.Prop without installing TWRP first, which was quite stupid... I changed it from 480 to 400 which has worked for me in the past on a previous G2 (on Verizon)...I don't have USB debugging enabled either.
In any case, when the phone boots up, it shows the AT&T logo, and then an error "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped". I can hit OK...then I get a screen with just the wallpaper and an error "Unfortunately Home has stopped", and I can't hit anything.. it doesn't respond.
I installed the phone drivers from LG's site... I can't seem to connect via ADB or Fastboot (although I less familiar with Fastboot)... If I enter recovery by holding down power and volume down, it asks if I want to reset the phone, but doing so just gives me an error "error: boot certification verify" and reboots...
Is there any way I can connect via adb, fastboot, or some method to modify the build.prop file?
Thank you!!
@rockon83 I dont think there is a way to enter fastboot mode like that without a modded bootloader and adb also not.
You can try to get into download mode and flash stock kdz/tot again and then normal flash to keep your app data.
Thanks wulsic... If I press and hold the volume up and then plug in the usb cable, it just shows the charging battery symbol... I can't seem to get into download mode....
Am I screwed?
If You're just rooted can't you simply enter stock recovery and factory reset? Turn off the phone, hold vol down + power button together, when LG logo appears release then just hold power button. That should get you into stock recovery where you can factory reset.

You can do try a factory reset. Hold down the VOL - and power, when you see the LG logo, let go then press and hold the power again.
