Trying to get into TWRP

Rooted and installed TWRP per these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 and when I hit power/volume down and wait for LG logo then release and hit them again I get a screen that says Factory Hard Reset. (permanently Erase User data and reset settings)
Is this what I want to be seeing? If so I did this earlier and hit the power button like it says, then it asks are you sure, I hit power button again and it goes to a black screen with
[312640] Fastboot mode started
[316240] (cant read this part) _start()
and just sits there

Yes. Once in factory reset hit power button 3 times and twrp will start. Have fun and always make a backup first.
If you can not get to recovery then you may have installed wrong one or bad download. Double check. Easier way is to use flashify app from market but I would at least 're download tarp. Make sure it is an img file not zip. I believe 6.3.2 is the img version then you can flash 6.3.3 zip from recovery. That is the newest one.

thanks, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 to install twrp. It says 2.6.3.2 Flashed it again with the recovery.bat file and still the same thing. Just sits there. I have to hold the power button for 15 seconds to restart. Got a correct link to the original file I need first in case this one aint it? Thanks

They posted a 3.3 version which would not work for me. Messed around for hours then flashed the 3.2 and it works great on both devices i put it on so far

just use an app that has option to boot to recovery like goo.im
much easier than using combo button :good:

easier if you can get into the OS, not the boot loop

This happened to me with a flash that somehow went bad. I'd used an IMG file someone had provided for 2.6.3.3 for VS980. I'd recommend getting the 2.6.3.2 file straight from TWRP (Google TWRP LG G2). Download this file to your phone. Install Flashify on your phone, run it, and use it to install the recovery you downloaded. This should fix your recovery issue. Then, if you want to upgrade to 2.6.3.3 (required for flashing 4.4 ROMs), you can flash one of the ZIP updates provided by TWRP.

Just in case anyone else runs into this problem make sure you install the img file first, then flash the zip. I tried to install the zip first and thats what went wrong. All working great now.

[q] lg g2 d800 + twrp

Hello all.
Over the past few days, I have been attempting to install CyanogenMod on my LG G2, but I am currently stuck on getting TWRP to work properly. I have followed the steps (more than once) on the forum post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670), but it has yet to work. I either get the "fastboot" text screen (two lines), or (now) nothing more than a backlit screen. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.
Info on the device:
Rooted
Model: LG-D800 (10o)
If anything else is needed, please let me know. I'd like to get this working.
Thanks
-C

I used this video to bypass all that fastboot nonsense.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTJI9ThY0mk
Basically all you do is:
!Phone Must Be Rooted!
Download Recovery:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2att.img
Download from the Google Play Market:
>Flashify (for root users)
Open flashify,
Click on 'Recovery image' and look for the recovery you downloaded,
Click on the recovery file,
Hit flash,
Hit Reboot and it'll reboot you into TWRP
And you're done!

Easiest way:
1)Back to stock
2)Root from here
3)One click recovery install once your rooted

I have been having a weird issue flashing the latest trwp versions over stock recovery on my D800, resulting in me booting to fastboot. Oddly, if I flash cwm recovery it works. then from cwm recovery I flash the twrp zip and then I am set. No idea why and I have been able to duplicate it. shrug

Any chance you could communicate the method you used to do this, at some point? I've tried flashing CWM as well, but I've had the same outcome as with TWRP. Would be awesome to get Cyanogenmod on here finally.
Thanks for the replies!

Have you tried the app Flashify, once you are rooted?
Alternatiely, I have put the recovery.img file in the root of my sdcard and then did:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Another app called Freegee will install either CWM or TWRP on there for you.

[Q] Why is this so hard to install recovery!

Greetings,
First I'm sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, I'll gladly delete and change threads if need be.
Second, I just got an LG G2 (Verizon) today. It's great but I want more so I rooted it, confirmed that it's rooted. But that's all I can do. I can't install a recovery app on here to save my life. I tried downloading the VZW recovery img and pushing that with the loki_flash but I got two errors mainly.
Input file is not a valid loki image and Loki aboot does not match device. I'm trying to run either TWRP or CWM, anything really so I can flash a custom ROM on this bad boy.
If the image is not a valid loki image I'm assuming I don't have the right pair of files? (loki/recovery) and if the aboot image doesn't match the device I'm assuming that I don't have the right loki? Are these correct assumptions or am I making an ass out of just me???
My phone is rooted, ROM Manager says I have both TWRP AND CWM on my phone but if I try to boot into recovery via ROM Manager or adb I get a black screen and nothing more.
Does anyone have ANY insight at all into how I can go about the next step?

TWRP
Follow the install instructions for TWRP 2.6.3.2. Then after you've confirmed you can boot the OS from the recovery, place the 2.6.3.3 on the root of your SD. Reboot into recovery and flash 2.6.3.3. Reboot into recovery again and you'll be good to go.
Version 2.6.3.2 won't flash 4.4 ROMs but 2.6.3.3 will flash 4.2 (I'm assuming), 4.3, and 4.4.

Download FreeGee app from the play store and install TWRP recovery from it. It was the only way I could install it on my LG G2.

So many

I followed many tutorials last night including this one.
(I am too new to post links in a message.) The link I was going to post was from howtorootmobiledotcom
I downloaded any version of TWRP I could, there were only 2, one img of each version and one zip. I used the loki from the zip that came with it as well but still no go.

I used RussGJohnson solution and it worked in a matter of seconds. Now I'm stuck though. I wiped everything and can boot into TWRP but I have no ability to sideload anything. I have all the latest LG drivers, even the lastest android sdk drivers, nothing is working. If I boot up normally the LG logo comes up and just sits there.
I can boot into recovery using the whole volume down + power button combo but then when I go to sideload my computer isn't seeing the device. I'm on a Win 8 machine using the stock cable. I've tried both USB 2 and 3 ports

It's done
Using RussGJohnson's suggestion worked great.
The issue I had with being unable to sideload a ROM wasn't resolved but I just used my Mac to do it instead. That worked just fine. Win8 couldn't recognize the device while in recovery. Go figure.

free gee very fast

Use Flashify u n00b.

Help with Phone not booting (Black screen)

I own a moto G4 XT1625, and I just followed the guide at devs-lab.com/how-to-root-moto-g4-moto-g4-plus.html on rooting it. I Successfully unlocked the boot loader, installed TWRP, but had trouble on the final step, rooting it with superSU. I entered TWRP, typed in echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu, and ran the zip, but when I rebooted, it was just a black screen-- it doesn't do anything! I can still get into the fastboot and TWRP recovery, but I didn't make a backup since the guide didn't say to, which in hindsight was a terrible idea. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I read some more, and am now trying to install the lineage ROM. I made a backup of the old broken system, so hopefully I don't mess it up more than I already have.
EDIT2: It didn't work (Maybe because it isn't actually rooted as supersu didn't install?) thanks in advance for any help you guys have!

Stock image can't be rooted without using ElementalX 1.04 stock kernel as it does not allow root. Thus, you need to restore to use hardware buttons to get back to TWRP and install Elemental X stock kernel and then SuperSu again. If you don't have TWRP, then you need to go into fastboot mode and resinstall TWRP recovery image and then do above. Good luck.

Thank you so much for you answer! I've installed ElementalX, then SuperSU, and for the first time, something other than a black screen on boot! the first time it stopped then went black after a few seconds, and as I'm writing this, it seems to be stuck in a bootloop as it has been playing the same animation now for a few minutes. Will it eventually resolve itself, or do you think it's still messed up?
EDIT: It's been going now for ~20 minutes which probably means something isn't right. I have to leave for my job now, but Ill try any suggestions when I get back. Thanks again!

Thank you so much HueyT, It's working now! ElementalX didnt work with stock for some reason so what I did was do a wipe, then flash the lineage ROM, then flash ElementalX (for lineage), then flash SuperSU, and it finally booted after going through a few boot cycles and ~ 10 minutes! I can't believe it's actually working!

New Unlocked Bootloader Screen - Cannot Boot into TWRP

Hi folks, I installed Beta 11 and lost my root (which was to be expected) but there is a new screen that comes up when I try to boot into TWRP. I posted about it here is this mondo-thread but it got lost in other conversations:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76702639&postcount=2165
Anyway, anybody know how to get past this screen successfully?
I'm afraid to actually flash TWRP because the last time I did this it resulted in a bootloop and I had to wipe everything...
Thanks!

When have flash twrp use the volume down until you read recovery mode then hit the power button and your phone boots into twrp :good:

you can download this app to go back to old bootloader screen https://www.coolapk.com/apk/com.daxiaamu.op5mutoolsnew
open it and switch to "更多功能"——“恢复开机叹号为START”，then click "确定" to confirm.

Or if you're not familiar with Mandarin/whatever language that app is in, I have made TWRP flashable zips to revert to the old bootloader. You can get them from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76659022&postcount=16
