HELP! Bricked?! Stuck on LG boot screen! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PLEASE help, I'm panicking right now. I have had my LG G2 phone rooted for a while but recently I decided to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481196 as my custom rom. I've never done this before and I thought I got through the adb stuff and loki...etc. I was in TWRP and told it to install Buckeye V3.zip and when it finished, it said successful (I did note that it said "unable to mount /system") but I clicked reboot and now it just shows the LG screen and it stays there! I get a blue & green flashing notification light at the same time. I am trying to hold power and up buttons... power and down buttons...etc and nothing is happening other than restarting and going back to the LG screen!
Please help!

Press and hold power button for sometime. Ur phone will turn off and will restart automatically. While restarting press volume down button and power key so that it will boot to recovery.

OMG ok I just got back into TWRP and now I'm afraid to reboot again. What can I do now that i'm in??? Should I try installing Buckeye again or choose wipe? No idea what to do next to get out of this situation.

If u have any other custom rom in ur phone, u Can flash it. Or u can side load a custom rom via adb or u can boot to download mode and flash stock rom if u have the necessary files

Just make sure the Rom you're flashing matches the model of your G2.

The odyssey to install cyanogenmod 10 on my L5. Have a seat!

Hello
I'm here to discuss about the unlocking of my new LG Optimus L5. I'll start saying that it come oot with Android 4.1.2 and the LG mod v20b.
I wanted to delete all the LG stuffs that slow the phone so i decided to root+unlock bootloader+install CWR+flash CM10 and Gapps.
I started following this page and tried all the root methods; only the one using a modified kdz worked.
After that i tried to unlock the bootloader, succeeding only after a day of tries. The problem was the Superuser app (it won't allow the ADB shell to edit the bootloader information even if it was allowed. I don't know why ), so i installed superSU and all went right.
After that i installed ROMmanager, which allowed me to flash the CWR, but i was able to enter it only if the USB cable was disconnected (again i don't know why ).
Inside the CWR i wiped bot caches, i did factory reset and flashed CM10+ Gapps; unfortunately i installed the wrong Gapps, denying me the Camera app, and few more little bugs...
So i decided to flash the righ one (gapps-jb-20121011-signed), but after that, all google services was crashing, so i decide to factory reset all and reinstalla CM+Gapps (the righ one this time)
The fate decided to curse me, sending the phone in bootloop after the flashing.
Hopeless, i tryed to flash again the modded firmware with the kdz flasher to retore the phone at the first passage, but it remained in bootloop (this time with the LG logo, not with the Cyanogen one).
I'm now trying to restore the original kdz (the v20d not modded) hoping for some miracle.
Someone have a hint to help me? The only thing i know now is that i can put the phone in download/emergency mode or remain in bootloop.
As far as i know the only way to enter the recovery is from SU binaryes in this f***ing phone, so no key combination to enter in it at startup.

I'm trying the keys combinations, but nothing... I may pressing the wrong ones
Switched off the phone, press and hold the Volume down key + Power key with your left hand.
When the LED on the bottom of the phone lights up, touch and hold the Menu key with your right hand. You need to do this immediately, before the screen displays the LG logo. Make sure your left hand is still holding the Volume down and Power keys. Then release the power key when the phone begins to vibrate.
When the LG logo is displayed on the screen, continue to hold the keys for around two seconds, and then release all them at the same time, before the LG logo disappears.

EDIT:
This one actually made me do an hard reset: Home+vol- +power on press all these 3 keys till it vibrates than release power on key and after a fev secs appears the android reset screen

Help - Bricked after trying to flash ROM

I'm stuck and wondering if someone could help guide me.
I had root and the latest TWRP installed.
What I did:
Enter TWRP
Advanced wipe, selecting system, data, cache and dalvik.
Installed a test rom.
Reboot
Now stuck with the following screen
If I power off and try holding the power and vol down buttons I just get the same screen.
If I connect to my Windows 7 x64 PC it now shows up as a QHSUSB_BULK device.
I've tried following the instructions to flash back to stock using the Flash tool, but nothing happens. If I click on the Information button, it says Port USB not found.
Any idea's?
EDIT:
If I click on start in Flash Tool, it does carry on, but I get stuck with it asking me to connect the usb cable. I think it's the QHSUSB drivers I need?
Holy COW.....
I've been trying to do it since last night (30+ times) and couldn't get it to show up. I had given up, thinking I had to send to LG, but I have just managed to get in. Practice and perseverance is what you need. I will now practice getting into recovery this way!
Just to confirm:
Hold Power and Volume Down buttons till phone reboots.
As soon as you see LG appear on the phone let go of the buttons.
Within 1/2 a second, press the power button again.
At the prompts, press the power button twice as if you are doing a factory reset. If you don't see the Factory Reset screen, start from 1 again.
Enter TWRP and breathe.
I might leave my phone alone for a while now, as I cant take the pressure!
I had said to myself I would run stock on this phone, but once again I rooted, and then put recovery on. I'm getting too old for the excitement!
:victory:
Good that you managed to fix your phone.

[Q] Keeps on rebooting on 4.4 after coming up

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

Issue after installing camera mod

I installed AOSB recently and decided to try out xdebbebs camera mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974) and now it gets stuck at the boot screen. I can't get recovery to come up via power+vol down and if I try to access it via ADB it says unauthorized.
i can get into the hardware button control menu where it shows my imei and allows me to select answering calls by pressing both volume buttons and that.
i also am able to get into download mode. but i cant find the drivers and they wont auto install

Hold power+volume down
Let go of power button for a second when lg logo pops up then press again you should see something that says factory reset hit power a few times it should go into twrp or cwm hope it works

If you can access TWRP recovery, you can shutdown your phone by going Reboot > Power Off.
Yes but you dont understand.the guidlines are very spacific that after all the fastboot flashing and final step says that after all flashing it says okay and to immediately power down either by removing battery or in my case with a rogers lg g2 where baterry removal is not an option it says type last command fastboot reboot and hold power while the phone powers down.but it will not power down while still plugged into usb port.well that cant happen as it loops itself.and same thing while i do button combo to get into twrp.i can do all the above no problem if the usb cord is not attached only when i unplug the usb it allows me to do combo and get recovery.i just cant get passed that point where all flashes okay and power down while still plugged in.omg this is frustrating.im gonna throw this damn phone out the window lol
