Hi, my D802 is stuck in a bootloop, where it just shows the LG splashscreen and the custom ROM's boot animation, but it won't get past there.
Unable to get into recovery either. Phone screen just flashes and LG logo comes back up whenever I try the recovery combo (power + down then power + down). I can get into download mode but I can't seem to get adb to work, and then use [adb reboot recovery] to boot into recovery. Drivers all installed, and all are the latest. Recovery was working fine before this and it screwed up only after I flashed a custom ROM.
What am I doing wrong? My phone is now nothing but a paperweight since I can't get into the OS nor the recovery. Thanks.

I have installed CyanogenMod on many devices before, and have never had as many issues as with the LG G2.
I was able to install CWM Recovery, and I used that to backup my existing ROM, and to Install CM-10.2, the build for the vs980.
After installing, and rebooting, I am getting stuck on an infinite boot screen. And I have no idea how to bot into recovery.
The default boot to recovery / factory reset screen is supposed to be, holding the power button until the LG Logo appears, then prelease, and hold again... This does not work, it just goes right back into trying to boot CM.
If I hold Power + Vol+, I enter some Firmware Update screen.
How would one enter CWM Recovery using only hardware? And how can I fix my infinite bootloop?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
**Edit**
I found out that I was going into this mode, and not recovery / factory reset... because I was still plugged in via USB... As soon as I unplugged, I was able to do this as expected.
Mod, please delete. I am unable, and I have solved my own problem.
My phone won't boot after installing the latest DU custom rom. I followed the steps here https://plus.google.com/+AlexCruz/posts/JJ5d9v6DArW - rooted and installed latest clockwork mod recovery, did a backup, and wiped everything, then installed the custom rom. But now it is stucked at the Dirty Unicorns boot screen.. Please help.
Some extra info: I was on 4.2.2 (802 international) before the flash
Edit: i can't even get to recovery now, by holding power and volume down buttons at LG logo. Is my phone dead?

Are you getting to the factory hard reset prompt? You have to go through that to get back into the recovery. Then you can just restore from Backup.

--This is copied and paste from another thread--
"You should be able to get to CWM recovery by using the hardware button (power and volume down held down, flash LG logo for a second, and then shuts off--only then you can turn it back on by holding power and volume down together until LG logo pops on, then let go of both buttons quickly, hold down both power and volume down again, and then quickly let go of the volume down button: a white factory reset screen should pop up and then you can push power button alone twice to enter CWM recovery).
If above does not work, you may need to KDZ back to stock using download mode (google LG G2 download mode) and USB cable (the one that comes with the phone as some USB cable won't work as they're charge only cable). You'll have to reroot with IOROOT25 and start over again."

I have no idea what fastboot or download mode is but your phone should be soft-bricked? If you can get into recovery or the factory reset screen you should be safe.
I wasn't able to get into the recovery at first but then I kept trying and trying and managed to get in by luck. Lol. I then wiped everything including Dalvik cache in Advanced and rebooted and was relieved to find it booted into Dirty Unicorns. I guess i was lucky.
Hello there. My LG Optimus L7 was lagging to much with it's stock rom so I decided to flash a custom rom to it. So I rooted my phone, installed CWM, and then using Rom Manager app I rebooted to recovery mode, before that I was trying every combination I found on the internet about how to enter the recovery mode, but no success. Anyway, after rebooting into recovery I installed CM 10, but the phone got stocked into CM boot loop. Now I can't access recovery mode to reinstall the rom, or install a new one. I also tried emergency mode (holding the vol up then plugging the usb cable) , which didn't work either. How can I enter the recovery mode? Please help! Is there any way to access the recovery mode without the buttons combination in this state(when phone is soft bricked) ?

I cannot access recovery too! I have TWRP installed but i tried every combination on internet and till can't access it Do somebody know any combinations to get into it?
I remember that once upon a time I was able to enter the recovery. But only once. I pressed randomly all buttons and succeeded. More times have I failed
Maybe it is the newest recovery fault.
I have the same problem. solutions?
V10 - power and volume lower (-) after the lights turn on release power and volume buttons and press only home button
V20 - power, volume lower and home, when you feel a vibration release all the buttons
I recently installed twrp instructions and installed a custom ROM. Even since then the device boots normally into twrp recovery only. to boot into the rom, I have to boot through recovery, press power + volume dn and then it boots to the regular ROM. Should I start over on this or is there a way to change that preference so the device boots normally into the OS instead of twrp.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else already. I looked.

I am facing same issue. I don't have twrp or custom rom but stock recovery and stock rom. Everytime I boot or restart my phone it goes to recovery mode!! I couldn't find solution yet and its very annoying.
Try following the steps in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325 Of course, ensure you have backups before erasing anything.
so i installed another ROM but for some messed up reason i cant access TWRP, cant do it via fastboot/ADB, cant do it via APP and cant do it with the vol down + power (yes i did let go of power when logo shows and hold down again.
i can get into the bootloader of my phone but no way to get recovery, i did try to reinstall the recovery one time but then it just gets stuck on LG screen. and no this time im not using lineage OS when i tried the idea before
i am running TWRP 3.3.1-0
vs995 Oreo stock rom
