Will the phone boot normally so you can get to play store or it just won't boot at all? Are you using volume down and power, just making sure? Sometimes it can be finnicky like that.

ok i just tried it manually and the factory reset screen showed up, but when i pushed the power button twice the screen went black with the backlight on...
OK, try downloading quick boot from play store and TWRP from play store. Quick Boot will give you an option to reboot directly to recovery, try that first. Then, if that doesn't work, you can try running TWRP app and that allows you to flash a new recovery using the TWRP interface whole your phone is running. You may want to go to the TWRP website and download the most current version for your model first.
Edit: just use the TWRP app to install or reinstall the actual recovery you downloaded from the TWRP site linked below.

thank you i will try that now
The black screen with white lettering in the top left corner is the bootloader.
If you have adb you can download a new twrp recovery image and do a "fastboot flash recovery path_to_recovery\recovery_name.img" and then try rebooting into recovery. It should work fine.

This is what appears in the top left of the screen when the LG splash pops up for a split second and goes black if you were curious.

That being said, you need to push a working recovery onto the device. If you can get into android, then you can access ADB from there and push the working recovery. You should be able to find the latest version of vzwG2 twrp in the g2 general section.
If you can't get into android, then you're ****ed as far as I'm aware. However, if this is the case then you can send it into LG and they will fix it right up for you

I've heard some people say that LG just reflashed the phone while they left root on there. I completely formatted the phone so there was nothing left on it before I sent mine in just in case.

You can't access ADB unless youre in android or a recovery, and you are in neither. You would usually be able to access fastboot (similar to ADB) which is another safety feature so you dont get bricked, but from what i've tried in this state i haven't been able to get into either.
You can try to play around with the android partitions in QHUSB_BULK and potentially fix it if you restore a recovery or something along those lines. But like I had said, I had no success with that.
Your best bet is to send it format the device and send it into LG so they can reflash everything.
Same issue, fixed it today
I had the same issues with a non-loading boot loader & a non-booting ROM. Follow the instructions in the thread linked below to restore stock firmware, and then root, TWRP, and install a custom ROM afterwards. The link to the LG Flash Tools was not one that worked for me, but a quick google search will get you the right file (top 3 results proved fruitful for me).

I have installed custom recovery using GooManager but i'm unable to really get in it, yes it was installed but I don't get in.
I have tried with connecting the usb cable to computer and entering fastboot commando's but everything just gets me at a black screen.
I read there are more problems with the recovery on Nexus 7, but I have followed many instructions here but still i'm not able getting in.

You can get in to recovery using a terminal, if you are rooted.
Su
Reboot recovery
If you not rooted, boot into bootloader and then choose recovery
Excuse the capitalization

This also not worked, it resulted into an black screen after the Google boot logo. And when I boot into the boatloader I get the same.
Can you describe exactly what you do?
Also, what happens when you reboot while holding both top and bottom button (have it plugged into computer the whole time to avoid potential bugs). Are you able to get into fastboot then select recovery?
I have used GooManager to put recovery on it and I rooted with Nexus toolkit. I tried rebooting into recovery using GooManager and I tried with commando that was said here.
I do get into fastboot when pressing powerbutton and both vol up and down together, but when I wanna enter recovery this way it won't work and will end up a black screen.
Are you by chance connected to USB when you try to enter the recovery. Hook up and give it a try and let me know
** I reread and saw you already tried it. Was worth a shot
Yes I connected the tablet with usb but it resulted in the same and GooManager said it installed the recovery, I also got a folder off it on tablet but its empty. I also tried rebooting into recovery with Nexus 7 root toolkit v1.5.3 but after the Google logo dissapears de screen stays black and I don't see any recovery.
Are you sure you flashed the recovery? It seems it's not in there.
You can try flash it again, but don't use the toolkit. Use the command line instead.
Just make sure the recovery is made permanent.
Before you flash again, you can also check if there is a recovery img under /.

Black screen again, I see no recovery, but it goes past the the Google logo but then stays black.
It seems recovery is on it because I have flashed a kernel and made an backup but that I did using Nexus Root Toolkit. Do you think my Nexus 7 might have the backlight off when its booting in recovery? As I got the backlight bug in Android to and that is why I turned off auto brightness.

Yes i can see that Google in midle and unlocked icon and after that it turns black.
There is a stock recovery under systems on the bottom I had to rename that to .bak before I could get my recovery to work.
I think I already figured it out, recovery is installed but my Nexus 7 got the auto brightness issue to, so that is what must be happen the backlight is turned off and that must be why I can't see the recovery.
Because it works accualty. Now I don't know is it a software bug or do I got a faulty Nexus 7, i'm going contact Asus about.
EDIT
I got an replacement and now everything works fine, i also get into recovery so I guess my guess was right, the screen just went black.
So I rooted my g2 then I used clockwork mod app to install recovery. Well I booted to recovery and it's just sets at a black screen. When plugged into a computer it pops up to format like 30 drives. I have tried the recovery batch file for cwm and it results in the same thing. Tried flashify and flashing twrp and still have the same thing. Please I have no idea what else to do.

Hello,
I am on VS98012B as well. I rooted with 'ioroot24' .. That all went fine. Now when I am trying to install a custom recovery (got botched the first couple times) ... now I can not get the phone to pop up the RSA fingerprint and when I try to boot into recovery using ADB commands or quickboot the phone just goes to a black screen and if it is plugged into the computer (windows 7) it pops up a bunch of different drives at me like endleesss was having. I could use and would appreciate some pointers!
Thanks!

When I boot into recovery with it plugged into my computer I also get Windows telling me that I need to format a bunch of drives before I can use them. I also get one drive that lets me open and it has a "images" folder in it, with a bunch of other files inside that. Not sure what is going on but any help would be awesome.

Seeing this exact same thing after going to a 4.4.2 ROM. I was coming from a 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.7 and now cannot get back in to recovery mode. I get just a black screen and also see the multiple drives popup when I plug in USB to the pc. I've tried flashing different recoveries with no luck. Hope a fix for this can be found.
Same problem but worse
I have this problem as well and have known that it needing fixing. Problem is the phone tried to auto-update to kitkat at night and now all i get is lg logo some commands in the top left then it tried to install via stock recovery. I can't get away from this as far as I know yet. I can't get to dl mode to just flash stock. I feel i might be completely boned. I tried pulling the battery ribbon to see if that would kick it out of this commanding it into recovery but I really don't know what to do at all at this point. Can someone help please or atleast tell me im boned so i can try to salvage. maybe do a warranty replacement. Thanks in advance
This thread will help with the "drives popping up", "black screen" etc..
--------------------------
For the ones with fastboot issue who can't enter dload mode:
download yor corresponding laf.img
Download this
extract it, put your laf.img inside(rename laf.bin to laf.img if needed), run "run this", you should be able to boot to download mode.

I was able to follow all of the directions in that post though it doesn't seem to have done the trick. I have left a post in that thread asking their opinion on things but idk if it will be answered since it is such a large post.
If you have any experience with these partitions, could you direct me to a way to stop the device from trying to run the OTA. This seems to be the largest problem as to why its not working since it pushes itself into recovery every boot, though it seems the recovery partition flash didn't take for some reason.
I am using 64-bit Ubuntu could that be an issue?

You were right, I was doing it wrong. Once I got into download mode it went easy.
Response to others, I found that if I held vol down by itself long enough, the phone would stop bootlooping and shut off. I could then properly go into download mode.

1. Hold the power button until the device is OFF.
2. Download LG drivers to the PC (LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.1) and LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup).
3. Install these packages.
4. Plug in you USB cable into the phone but not the computer.
5. Hold volume up and insert the USB cable to the PC- the phone should boot to 'download mode'.
6. Open the support tool and click Options>Upgrade Recovery, follow the prompts.
7. At the first prompt indentify your phone using IMEI/ESN, then click OK
8. Let it do its thing, the phone will reboot and most likely have a bunch of error messages and some FC's. Just hit okay to all messages, the phone will settle after 2 minutes or so.
9. Download freegee from market and reflash recovery of your choice.
10. Make sure you have a ROM saved to the SD to flash
11. Use freegee to reboot to recovery
12. Once in recovery you can reflash the ROM as normal.
13. Reboot and Profit!
*$* Or you could go back to Stock and start fresh!
*$* BEFORE ANY FLASH ALWAYS STOP and MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
Good Luck and if you get stuck let me know
Similar issue
I'm stuck in bootloop, no custom recovery or root. All data has been deleted. I have tried the LG support tool, but it locks up. It also tells me my device is a test model, something bad has happened. I can get into download mode but can't flash stock, via the flash tool. It says wrong device, and at the download screen where my phone says rooted it says the model is a D802! Somehow this info got jacked up! I can almost make it through the D802 flash but it fails also. I only did that to confirm my suspicion that the phone thinks its a different model. I'm open to anything, I've tried it all.

Just remove the battery, put it back again and go into recovery mode (twrp). And do a clean flash again. If it doesnt work, then just flash another rom. Put the rom inside the sd card and flash it via twrp

When you put the battery back., do you press and hold down volume down and power button and then whe I the logo appears you rapidly release and press and hold the power button without removing the finger from the volume down?
Its all about timing to be honest. Took me about 10 tries before I noticed I was being stupid. Right before the corrupted screen shows up, there is a very small window that you have to do this at. What I do is this.
I hold the volume down button while it is fully powered off.
The I press the power button and as soon as I see the LG Logo (It pops up for a split second before the corrupt screen) I let go of the power button and then press it imminently after I let go of it and TWRP shows up in a few seconds.
Again, its all about timing.

Since you have TWRP, just hit yes to both. It wont wipe anything. I paniced as well but had backups so I clicked yes. and it booted TWRP

Did you install the H918 Rom or the US996 Rom?? If you didnt flash the TMO rom then you might be SOL. And it seems that whatever happened crashed TWRP as well... Are you able to get adb to detect the device?

To be honest, im the least qualified to try to help! It just stays at the lg logo the entire time? No static screen or anything? And TWRP crashes no matter what? If you can get it into download mode you could try to restore jt using a KDZ for your model?

You could try LGUP to see if you can restore it. Just make sure its the right model..

you could try to push TWRP into the system by using adb, just in case it has become corrupted. Then, if that is the issue then that should fix it.

Weta is amazing, just use the one for your phone! Or it wont function. If you have the tmobile model then only use the tmobile rom xD Just make a backup in TWRP before flashing so you dont have to start completely over.
Someone help i cant get into recovery please help
@pbedard Its all about timing. What I do is I take off the back cover. Then I hold the volume down button and then hold the power button. The very first LG logo that pops up only pops up for a second so that part is a pain... But as soon as you see that first LG logo, let go of the power button and press is back down as fast as you can. If it tries to boot, immediately pull the battery and try again...
It's Stuck in a bootloop

Yea.. Before the Corrupted screen is a small instance of a LG logo. You have to enter TWRP through there. When it asks to factory reset, just hit yes twice.. TWRP overwrites that recovery. Its a pain in the arse to get into it.

Are you able to get into fastboot? You could reflash recovery there.

How can I the computer dont recognize it
Hold the volume down key and have a usb cable connected to your pc and then while still holding the volume down key plug the phone in.
I had to flash twrp once in fastboot. just start fastboot in the adb folder with the twrp.img and just type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and wait. rename twrp accordingly.

ok... All of them are essentially the same. Did you get through the entire process??? The twrp for US996 works on almost all LG V20s... Just try to get it to flash and then redo the process to get into TWRP again.

OK I'm in TWRP what's the final steps

Well that part im not sure about. You could always do the rest of the DS guide.. Its a sprint phone right? Make sure you did the entire process. The phone seems to need a stock rom flashed to function. The phone wont boot without data being wiped and the phone being unencrypted.. Make sure you followed the process to the T
The static never went away
The static won't go away....turn off screen until u see clock in top screen then cover your sensor right by camera and then turn screen back on

Did you flash a Rom? Try rebooting into recovery and formatting the system/cache/dalvik/data and reflashing a Rom. I've run into a bootloop if I didn't format those partitions or I didnt flash a Rom while I'm in recovery after clearing system.
Yes but my device is fine now they helped me get it working thanks for your help
