Not sure what to do - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I traded my GS4 for a G2. It was already rooted running CleanROM w/TWRP. I wanted to try out another ROM so I dld AEON rom and gave it a go. I did a reset/wipe in TWRP but I DID NOT manually wipe. After the flash the phone shows the "LG" splash screen and goes dim and the LED flashes blue to green. I am able to boot into the reset screen. Once in there I was told to press power 3 times to enter TWRP. As soon as I do that it goes into TWRP and starts a hard reset which fails and reboots. Please help!!

Is there a way to enter recovery without starting a hard reset?

Volume down and power from power off state until lg screen then release keys for 1 second and both same again u get warning for reset, power button twice fir next to warnings and it will take u to twrp, yes all u need is factory reset in twrp for new roms in lg twosome people had issues booting up first time try flashing again.

I followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqw_LFuyHbE and am back to bone stock. I think I will try the flash again.

I bricked my phone trying to flash Malladus (LG Bootloop) ... the flash tool isn't wo

So I don't know why this happened, I had rooted and installed TWRP and was happy, so I tried to install Malladus (1.2.9) and gapps and the 24a upgrade .zip, and now here I am.
I've tried most methods, and the LG Flash tool just says "failed PreviousLoad()" when I click the yellow arrow.
I f'd this phone up 12 hours after I got it.
If you see the LG boot logo than there is still a chance to fix the phone. Try to manually go back into recovery. Turn off the phone by long pressing power button. As soon as the screen is black, press power and volume down together, you only get a half second to do it. When LG logo appears release and press them together again until the factory reset screen comes up. Then press power 2 or 3 times and you should go back into your recovery. Once there you can try to reinstall rom, backup or side load a new rom. Hope this helps!
What is your phone model? Without that I cannot help you.
Same problem
Hi guys, like an idiot I was successfully able to install the debloat 4.4.2 on my vzw LG G2 but I tried to flash nandroid recovery back to my 4.2 and now I am stuck on boot loop and cannot get back into recovery. I tried to hard button by pressing both the bottom button and power, and press it again when the lg logo comes on and after pressing the power button a few times, it just goes into a black screen, so I cannot get back into recovery in this manner. Anyone know how I can get back into recovery without going through the full wipe back to factory?

Constant LG logo on boot

Hey guys I don't know what happened, I've been using Cloudy with Dori since August, and had no problems. A few minutes ago I installed some HTC apps from XDA (didn't install as system apps), they worked great, I decided to reboot, and boom.. LG logo appears, after a sec it disappears, then reappears, etc etc.. what did I do wrong? Should I just dirty flash Cloudy again? Honestly I don't think it's a ROM issue, as the phone never goes to the bootanimation, it stucks at the bootloader screen, but as I didn't do any system modifications recently, I don't know why. Thanks for any help.
try dirty flashing cloudy again..
Press n hold PWR button until it completey shuts off your device.
Press PWR + Vol. Down till you see LG logo,let go both button for a sec n repress the same button again. Will get you to Factory reset, Hit Yes > Yes > Yes, don't worry it won't wipe your device n boot you back into recovery.
Either you can wiped everything start back fresh or try wiping dalvic/cache n reboot, If device behaves the same then go with Full Wipe n reinstall ROM again.
Thank you, fortunately the phone could boot up after I left it for a few mins, no problems since that.

H918 Issue...

So a Tmobile update came on my phone and I decided to click update for some stupid reason... Its early.
I was stock rooted with TWRP installed.
After clicking that it rebooted and went into TWRP recovery. Whether I reboot or turn off and manually go into recovery I can't get it to reboot normally whatsoever.
I tried to flash WETA rom and everything went properly with the install but affter the reboot I am still left with TWRP.
Any suggestions on how to get my phone working again. I am downloading the 10i KDZ file now but was hoping there was another answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Power off or pull battery for a sec.
Hold vol down and power button - as soon as you see LG logo - release and immediately re-press power button only while continuing to hold vol down.
Factory reset screen will come up if you did it right. Use vol down to select YES twice to factory reset. ( It won't really reset anything but the recovery boot trigger ).
You'll end up in twrp. Just select reboot system and profit

Thanks for posting this. Same thing just happened to me and now my phone is back to normal.

Am I screwed?

I just followed this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594
I got root installed TWRP- I did everything, and then I went to flash a ROM and during the setup (AROMA setup)
It just froze I never finished, it it just froze when selecting an option the ROM in question is (WETA 5.0.7 [16th.Jun]
Now what else was there to do.. i waited for a bit and it still was just frozen.
Before I even flashed the ROM I backed up my device.
When I went to reboot. Thinking everything is gonna be fine.
Its now stuck on the LG (Life's Good) screen.
I can't get into TWRP, nor the bootloader...
The only thing I got to was a screen that showed me my IMEI number and another number apart form that I haven't had any success.
Am I doing something wrong? Please help?! Thanks in advance.
1. pull the battery
2. Hold power and volume down
until the lg logo appears
3. Immediately when the lg logo
appears release and repress
the power key
4. You will see a factory reset
screen use the volume keys to
scroll to yes and press power
to select another screen will
appear select yes and hit
power again there may be a
third screen I don't remember
but if there is just hit yes again
5. This does not factory reset it
accesses recovery which in
your case is TWRP so in a
minute you will see the TWRP
logo once you're there restore
your backup or reflash the
ROM.

Only idea I've come up with so far: try booting into recovery to maybe unstick it by using the volume keys? Same way as twrp, hold volume down, power til screen turns on, then tap power repeatedly (still holding volume down) until the factory reset menu appears, confirm the reset using the volume and power buttons.
Other than that trying to reflash the kdz I suppose ( that did appear to work correctly aside from the bootloops, no other errors?)
