ok so I was running slim 1.9 on my att g2. I wanted to try a different kernel so I tried houstonns pa d800 kernel. Saw that it was running well on another members slim so gave It whirl. Rebooted phone and it came up to the lg logo and in the upper left something to the effect "secure booting error". Now im not able to get into recovery to just reflash the rom or kernel. Screen is on but dimly lit.
Is there any way to get into recovery or what do I do
OK I finally got it. Was constantly trying to get in recovery after about 50 yes 50 times I got it phew. Was pooping my pants

Ok for anyone that runs into this...You have to get back into recovery. With mine I could tell my screen was on only if I was in a dark room but no display . You can see its kinda lit. Hold the power button for 15 or so seconds. You will see the screen shut off for that split second. Right away press Volume down & Power, when the LG logo appears release and press them again, then press the Power button three times! From there I flashed a kernel I knew worked or you can reflash your ROM. Hopefully this helps.

I recently flashed a rom, but forgot to clear the data, now im stuck in a boot loop, the google boot logo pops up then restarts and loops over and over i cant get into the recovery screen with the volume/power buttons, any idea what i need to do?
Hold power button down for 15 seconds. At that point the phone should be completely off. Now hold the power and the volume down and you should get you into recovery

press and hold the power button for at least ten-15 seconds if it goes off then push the vol down and button at the same time when the lg logo pops up release both buttons and immediately press them both again and you should get back into recovery it might take you a few goes but it should do it - if that doesn't do it try above youll get there in the end

when i try that, it goes right back to the google/4 colors screen and resets itself over and over....
what recovery do you have installed? although the process is the same, it might take a few goes but it will get into it, following the methods already mentioned

So I don't have my computer with me just an iPhone so bear with me please.
I had CWM on my G2 and in a sleepless haze flashed me some PA 4.0 beta.
Now the phone boots up but right after the I get two notifications about galley and camera crashing it reboots.
I try to get the phone into recovery via the phone menu but it won't work just let's me turn it off.
What can I do without a computer at the moment?

Manually boot into recovery. Power the device off and hold the power+volume up releasing the volume up key when you see the LG logo, then press it again while still holding power button. Once you see a white screen talking about factory resetting the phone hit the power button to confirm and you will enter recovery.
If that doesn't work Google the exact instructions "how to manually boot into recovery LG G2, xda"
And don't forget to plug off the USB cable

I am trying to install the leaked soak test of 4.4 and I cannot for the life of me get a stock recovery menu to come up. I've held Power, vol up and vol down and gotten the menu where you can select recovery or AP Fastboot, etc. But when I select recovery all I can ever get is the dead Android. I've tried pumping the power button, the volume up , seperately, together, etc. No dice. Does anyone know any tricks to this? Would it be possible to just install the file with RSDLite? It's making me CRAZY!! Thanks!:cyclops:
Holding volume up and down for around 5-10 seconds using does it for me. You might nerd to pump it, but those two buttons together do it.

I've managed to get into it once, and tried flashing the soak test file. It rebooted and then hung, so I had to go back into the recovery menu which was actually the new 4.4.2 recovery. However, Every time I tried to get it to flash the update from the sdcard again, it said it was complete. When I tried rebooting the system, it just hangs on the "Unlocked Bootloader" screen. SO I started over and I can't even get back to that point. SO FRUSTRATING !! I WILL beat this darn thing into submission... GRRR

From what I can interpret through all the various threads out there, you kind of need to let it install twice. The first install will flash the new KK recovery. Then, you boot into the updated recovery and flash the updated system files. Oh, if you're at the screen with the dead droid, you should be able to hold volume down and tap volume up to get into recovery. Well, that's worked previously, anyway.
Ironically, once I gave up and went back to stock, I received the OTA.

If you hold volume down for around 5 seconds and then while releasing it hit volume up, the menu shows up.
I don't know why they made it so difficult.
[Q] Help please !! Autostart f bootloop "Recovery Booting screen" after flashing Twrp
Long time xda lurker here,
I have just thrown my t mobile note 3 into an autostarting bootloop that i dont know how to recover from. I have successfully used this same process 4 times on 4 devices, S 3, tab 2,galaxy light and lg volt. Although this time i used mobile odin as the flash tool.
I flashed twrp to the note 3 because it didnt have any recovery at all. Ive had this phone rooted for about a year without a recovery. After flashing twrp now it constantly autostarts to the logo screen and in top left corner it says recovery booting then it restarts with the same result. Ive tried leaving the battery out for an hour but when i reinsert it, i dont even have to push power and it starts bootlooping again. I cant get in download mode,safe mode, recovery mode, anything mode. Im at a loss. Any advice,any at would be appreciated. Is there any way to fix this.

If the phone turns on by itself when you put the battery in then it's almost certainly the Power switch on the mainboard or the plastic Power button (which is what we interact with).
If that's happening on your phone the first thing to check is the case (if present), to make sure it's not pressing on the Power button.
Next would be to take the phone apart and gently pry the plastic Power button off (there's two legs that hold it in - be careful not to snap them off).
Finally, the Power switch itself - it may just be gunked up, in which case you can try compressed air or electronic contact cleaner (be sure to remove the battery first!) and exercise the switch to get it working.
Otherwise you'll have to replace the switch.
I am going to give that a look right now but it wasnt stuck before flashing twrp. Mobile odin said it was going to restart then it immediately started doing this.
Ok going to check power button now.

The power button seems to be clean on the board and its free on the case, unfortuanately that wasnt the problem.

I've had this before and in my case the Recovery is in place but the boot loop will not let you access it.
Try forcing the phone down by holding down power for >8secs. Then as soon as it goes off, press Vol Up + Home + Power to go to Recovery. If it works, Factory Reset and see if it starts.
If that doesn't work, (Factory) then try flashing a ROM from your extSD if you have one, or flash the TWRP Recovery from there.
If that doesn't work either, remove battery and as you put it back in, have Home + Vol Down + Power pressed as you push battery in - just have battery sitting ready to push in with 1 finger holding it, press the 3 buttons and push battery home. Go into DL mode and Odin a firmware. Get the TWRP .tar file from TeamWiz and flash it from Odin after the ROM. Take the tick out of 'Auto Reboot for both processes. Take phone down, restart in Recovery and flash SuperSU.
Ok journeyman16,
Trying those 1 by 1 right now. Hopefully 1 will work, thanks for reply.

Nothing stops the "recovery booting" bootloop. Although for some reason i now have to actually push the power button before the power comes on after a reinsertion of the battery. But still same bootloop. Idk getting really discouraged with this one.
By the way, I do have an ext SD card with 2 nandroid and a titanium backup but they are useless with what it's doing

That's strange. It might be a timing issue where you aren't doing the DL mode buttons quick enough. DL mode should be available if it gets far enough to try Recovery boot. Did you try having the 3 buttons pressed and holding them down before pushing the battery in? (as in Vol Down + Menu + Power) I ask because it can be awkward to do it all at once - and it takes only a split-second lift of a finger to miss the boot.

Yes i have tried it a hundred times at least, lol. I was holding the buttons then pressing it against my leg to insert the battery fully.
I dont understand it either. Im at the point of just leaving the battery out for about 8 hrs then trying again, basically a hope and a prayer situation.

After my 2 1/2 hrs of sleep i put the battery back n and it went in download mode thankfully.
Tried to start it normally but it just loops to logo without recovery booting on thr screen.
Guess i wiped it somehow with mobile odin. Idk.
Thanks for all the help.
Ill be using regular odin when i get home to restore it.

Note 3 is working better than new
As an update, I ended up putting the tweaked ROM with custom kernal on my device and it just purs along at lightning speed now.That's an absolutely wonderful ROM. I highly recommend it. Only problem is if the battery dies it goes into a bootloop but as soon as I connect the charger it boots up. Not a ROM problem I don't believe though. Oh well thanks for the help guys.

What is your phone doing exactly? Bootlooping in TWRP or something else?

I'm also in the softbricked state of routing the Sprint V20 in the dirtysanta way. The phone system will not boot, and it will continue to twrp. I installed the LS997 rom and superSU on twrp but it is not installed and only twrp will boot. Have you found a solution?
I battled this for hours and hours yesterday.
Pull the battery for a few seconds then replace it.
Hold volume down and power button at the same time. As soon as you see the LG logo - release and repress the buttons. Continue holding them until the factory reset screen comes up.
Push volume down to move to yes - then push power button to select.
Repeat above line a second time. Don't worry. If you have TWRP recovery installed it will not reset.
If you don't get the button push right and end up back in TWRP recovery without seeing the factory reset screens - just pull battery and try again.
Once you go through the 2 factory reset screens - it will bring you back to twrp recovery one last time but will remove the looping into recovery.
In TWRP Select reboot - system and it should load normally now.
It will take a while and you will be stuck on static screen. Try tapping the power button just to turn screen off. If screen turns off - lay phone face down to block light from entering sensor by front facing camera for a few seconds then tap power button to turn screen back on.
If after 15 to 20 minutes it doesn't load. Pull battery and replace. Push power button and it should load this time assuming you wiped and flashed a rom properly.
I just rooted and flashed using this method and all appears to be well. @midmadn are you saying I can expect to be in the static screen for up to 20min?
Possibly on first boot. I usually give it 10 to 15 then pull the battery. It has always booted after the battery pull and in a short amount of time. Maybe a few minutes.
Usually you can hear the boot sound or when screen turns off then cover sensor and press power all good.... You may hear the woman talking also after boot to set up handicap or something
