sorry was wrong.
try turn phone off, add usb, then press volume up. I think that's it.

Hi
did no work also

I am having the same problem, went to lg service centre, they could not enter download mode as well. I might need to change the circuit board for $321 singapore dollars..

Hi
i think you have to use this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

This happened to me,
Try holding the power and volume down hold until lg logo, let go and press and hold the volume down and power again, it should get you in recovery.
It might get you into a screen called "Factory hard reset" Agree using the power button, and it should take you to your recovery, and try flashing a ROM along with the Gapps (if you want, which I did) and then I used a recovery file after booting back into recovery to restore it to my previous state.
Good luck :good:

Shut down phone
From what I got from this, you're having problems shutting down your phone, correct? It keeps booting back up after the screen goes black? If this is the case, hold the power button (and don't let go) until it goes black, reboots itself, then goes black again. Shouldn't take more than 2 seconds after rebooting to shut down. Then, you can do volume up + USB to get into download mode.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop and can't access recovery

My phone (LG G2 Verizon VS980) reboots at the LG logo (in a loop) after I successfully flashed cyanogenmod 11 and I can't seem to access TWRP with the instructions in their wiki: With the device powered down, hold Volume Down & Power. When the LG logo appears release the buttons and then press them again. Then, press the Power button three times!
Any ideas how I can get into TWRP? I can't connect on adb.

Do you have download mode? You might have to use the flashtool to get out of this.

Bootloop + No recovery D802

I entered a bootloop. After getting past the LG logo, the SlimKat logo appears on the screen for 3 seconds or so before fading away. It repeats this process until I force the phone off by holding the power button.
I understand, by getting to Recovery Mode, I should be able to mitigate the issue; but no recovery mode is present. I have tried pressing every combination of the buttons, letting go upon seeing the LG logo, and pressing them again. The logo disappears, reappears, and fades away again.

Hi, try this combinaison: phone is shutdown, power+vol down. When first logo appear, release and press vol up and vol down ( not power) until menu reset appear. You will erase all your data, but it should work. Your problem is when the rom flash the recovery too.

Hello, I tried this combination but unfortunately it only bootloops.

[Q] Stuck at boot after Nandroid restore

Hi
I installed FluffyRom (which is based on Simple Rom) on my D802 and everything was ok.
I was not happy with the ROM so I did a Nandroid restore of my previous install which was BlissRom
After reboot I can see the LG logo, which then flickers a bit and fades away and then black screen.
If I connect to my Windows PC I can see the internal storage. If I long press the power button, something vibrates and if I tap the screen I can shut it down so I assume that the rom is running but I do not get the visuals.
I would like to have it working again, what can I do as i don't have an idea... the only thing I found out is that the baseband has been changed by the Simple Rom install ...

BlissPop need JB baseband:

Have you tried either of the following:
Download Mode
Power off your G2.
Hold Volume Up and plug your G2 into PC via USB cable, keep holding Volume Up until your G2 displays "Download Mode".
If in Download Mode follow this tutorial.
Recovery Mode
Power off your G2.
There's 2 possible options to access Recovery depending on your current Bootloader.
JellyBean Bootloader
Hold Power+Volume Down, when the LG Logo appears let go of Power+Volume Down and again hold Power+Volume Down.
KitKat Bootloader
Hold Power+Volume Down, when the LG Logo appears let go of Power+Volume Down and hold Volume Up+Volume Down.

Yes, to power off your phone, long press power button for 15sec.
Then enter recovery with vol down + power like @d00lz say.
(Hold Power+Volume Down, when the LG Logo appears relaise Power+Volume Down and press again Power+Volume Down.)

Can't boot into recovery mode

I tried to update my LG G2 D802 from CM12.1 to 13 using the following steps:
1. reboot into twrp (2.8.7.3)
2. full wipe (all but internal storage)
3. installed bootstack-d802-CAF-signed.zip
4. installed CM13
5. reboot system
so far it worked fine, so I went back into recovery mode, installed the open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20151203.zip. After reboot, the phone keep throwing error messages "google service is closed" and keep repeating. I thought it may be an error in the gapps so I went into recovery again and tried to install another gapp version. I did a full-wipe again, but then I accidently did a system reboot. Now the phone is stuck after showing the LG logo and won't start properly. I try to go back into recovery mode:
1. turn off the phone
2. press power + volume down until the logo shows
3. release and repress the both button, which should bring me into recovery mode, but it didnt work. tried it numerous times, but always the same, if I release and press the both button after LG logo, the phone would just restart after few seconds...
can someone help me? Since the phone doesn't start, I can't install anything. Is there another way to get into recovery mode? Or can someone explain to me what I broke?

Don't press and release the volume down and power button at the lg logo. Just hold it until it goes into recovery.
If you can't get in, try to TOT back to stock. I would recommend you stick with rooted stock before you hard brick it(if you haven't done so already). Not only is cm buggy ass hell on the g2 but MM will be even more so since it's so new. Good luck.

+1 to this method, i have been using this when I was not able to get into recovery easily. My issue is unrealted to yours though.

I had a similar issue trying to enter Recovery on my phone. I've tried a lot both methods, so I turned off the device, waited something like 5 minutes, then tried the vol up + vol down method and it worked. I don't know why, but that's not the first time I have to wait a bit longer to try the key combination in order to enter Recovery. Just in case you can't turn off you phone completly, hold power button till phone turns off, keep holding it, wait for the LG logo to show up, when the screen goes off, release the button. Good luck

It's not working for me. I got excited for a minute since others had luck with it, but it was a no-go for me. I know this is an older thread but....
It seems like being rooted, having TWRP and CM13 and Flashify, between all those, something should freakin' work, besides goofy hardware button combos. :crying:
