VS980 Stuck on LG logo, no adb or fastboot - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have seem to soft-bricked my device. I was installing a ROM using TWRP (I forgot the version) and it was taking a very long time, then I stupidly shut-off my phone, and when I turned it on, it was stuck on the LG logo. I cannot boot into recovery using Power + Volume Up button, and I have no idea how to fix this!
Thank you.
EDIT: Got into recovery. The whole /system was wiped, I re-flashed CM10.2, now stuck in boot loop of the Cyanogen Mod boot logo,

It would appear that I did something very similar and is stuck at the logo boot loop. How were you able to get back into recovery?

Do you have the LG bootlogo coming up, if so try this:
Turn off phone, then when off, hold down power and volume down button until it reaches the LG logo and then release and hold it down again, if that doesn't work, when just hold it down until you see a screen that says something like: Hard reset/ factory reset. For me it took me to my recovery screen, where I just flashed a older ROM onto it. I then later flashed a recovery file. I hope this helps, and if you need it any clearer, just reply

Thanks for the reply! I was able to get into the factory reset but had to follow slightly different instructions. The way I've seen it on most wiki sites is that you hold Volume Down and Power button at the same time until the LG logo shows up, then release them and press them down again. This never worked for me.
What I had to do was hold Volume Down and Power button until the LG logo shows up, then release ONLY the Power button while still holding the Volume Down button, then press the Power button again. This method got me into the factory reset consistently and was able to get back into recovery.
Best,
Colin

LG G2 VS980 not booting, system folder permission is changed accidentally
My LG G2 VS980 phone was rooted by myself. It was a factory unlocked phone. Then using Root Browser by JRummy apps i have removed some system apps and just for a try i have changed the permission settings of system app folder to ro. Then on reboot my phone was stuck, it turns ON and after LG and Verizon logo, says "unfortunately, phone has stopped" and i could see some basic apps such as file manager, calculator etc. but i cannot use the phone at all. It is stuck. How to get back to the original factory unlocked condition? Any ideas plz!

Stuck in Boot Loop after Stock Restore

Looks like I got it, I did a factory reset on top of it and seems to be working again.
Can you tell me exactly what you did? I seem to be having a similar problem with the Verizon G2 and can't get anything working.

After I ran the factory flashing tool, the phone would boot loop (I think most likely because the settings and profile from the last rom wasn't reset by the tool.)
So what I did was use the factory recovery option in the phone by doing the following.
1. Power down the phone (Hold power for 15 Seconds)
2. Press and Hold Vol Down and Power
3. Quickly after seeing the LG logo release the power (while holding Vol Down still) then pressing and holding the power again. You should get a white screen asking if you want to reset your phone press Power to Confirm twice.
A little android pops up and does some work then reboots your phone. The phone should boot after that.

you have to time it correctly. Turn on the phone holding power and volume down. Then when the logo shows. Quickly (not too quickly) release two buttons and press them again and hold them until recovery factory reset screen appears then press two times power button to get into recovery.

Your bootloope, can you get into download mode? Try vol up and power. Then vol down to recovery....
Got a reply from the other thread:
Use this method (scroll down to where it says Master Reset with Hardware Keys). I ran into this issue a few times, and this is how I can get back into TWRP (when you follow the instructions, instead of wiping everything it boots into TWRP)
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-7590 [start from "when LG Logo is displayed", since you can't power off]
(NB: It says T-mobile, but it works for all variants)
THIS WORKED!!!!!!!
Thanks again guys!

[Q] LG G2 bootloop, No recovery mode, only download mode

Hi guys, (LG G2, Rooted, had twrp but now its vanished?!)
I managed to get my LG G2 into a bootloop. I was replacing bootanimations and rebooting and testing them out. I finally tried this 1080p boot animation that looked sweet. Once the device rebooted it would show half the boot animation and then reboot. I had twrp installed but now every time i try to access it it just ignores the hotkeys as if it doesn't exist anymore. I can only get into download mode if a usb is plugged in.
All i need to do is flash TWRP again so i can flash the stock bootanimation back. I do not want to do a fresh install as I have many important files (i know i should have backed them up). I have tried to access my phone via adb using windows commandline tool whilst in download mode. however, adb doesn't find my device (I was going to attempt to push the stock animation back).
Please help me guys i need my phone to be working by monday as i have work! thanks in advance

1. If you connect your phone to PC, what happens?
2. I also had trouble accessing TWRP, so I did the "Factory reset" button combo (Don't remember what it was) and when I slided to confirm, twrp booted. From there I think you have adb and can fix everything.
To get to TWRP, hold the power button until the phone turns completely off, then turn on the phone while holding the power and volume down buttons, then when the LG logo pops up, let go and re-press those buttons. When prompted for a factory reset, press the power button. Works every time for me.
Alone i used lg flashtoolnow,its ok. I didnt click factory reset i assumed it would delete everything? With lgflash i have restored system and everything is how i left it.

First off, you'll need to make sure your phone isn't plugged in or it won't work - I'm afraid if you can't enter recovery you'll have to go back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Try to flash the Kitkat baseband or if you are fully stock then i suggest you to flash the KDZ to go back to full stock(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476)
If you still have important data like pictures or what then do normal flash. Use the Android version you also had as stock and use that as KDZ. If you are not stock then can you reach TWRP?
and what did you do before that causes the black screen?
Stuck with the LG logo. Nothing happens in download mode
Hi All, not sure if this has been answered prior. This is what happen, I wanted to flash SOKP so I backup my phone and saved to PC using Titanium. I have TWRP installed.
Boot Into Recovery Mode and Wipe Data,System,Cache,Dalvik
I restart so I can flash the SOKP Rom and all I see on my phone is the LG logo. I try to restart using the Power and Up button, but it just sits in the download mode saying "Firmware Update" with no movement or action.
The phone is unable to turn off now. This is my first go at Flashing a Rom. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hey, I have the nearly same problem with my G2 running CM12 also installed recovery
But I can't reboot in recovery neither with the factory reset buttons, nor manually with SDK Manager, because the device is not found.
So I can just reboot and it shows the CM boot image, or get in the download mode.:crying:
Any suggestions?:fingers-crossed:

If rooted you can use adb shell with su and push partitions with "dd" while staring (stuck in lg logo)
Help!!
I have boot loop, only download mode accessible, device not found on adb. When I try LG FlashTool, instead of using the KDZ file I provide, it starts downloading some other firmware at times, and at times it says your software is up to date. What do I do? :|

[Q] Please help! Stuck at LG Splash screen on boot

I am rooted and had PhilZ recovery installed on the vs980. I wiped data, cache, and davlik to install a new rom, but the install failed. After the install failed I realized I had deleted my backups I had. When I went to reboot the phone said it could not find root and would attempt to root on its own or something of that matter. I am now stuck on the lg spash screen with the led blinking green/blue. I cannot boot into recovery or download mode by holding the volume+power buttons the phone just vibrates and turns off for a sec then right back to the lg screen. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
Yeah try booting into recovery but a little differently this time.. Turn the phone off, hold power and volume down to turn it on but keep holding it until it shuts off again. Then press power and volume down again until the LG logo appears. Release and press them again quickly like normal. This has worked for me in the past when I couldn't boot into recovery. Idk why but it did.. Give it a try

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?
