Phone is stuck in bootloop - want to boot into recovery.
Edit - Thanks Dragon!
This is the method that worked for me. How it works for you! Good luck!
Hold vol down + power, release when LG logo appears, but immediately hold vol down + power again.
Will arrive at factory reset screen, press power button 3 times to boot recovery

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.
I had an indian G2 D802T with stock lollipop 5.0.2. At that time I was able to use the hardware keys to boot into the Hard Reset mode(vol down + power). Then I had it rooted using lg one click root tool and after that also I was able to use the hardware key combination. I then followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/complete-guide-convert-d802t-d802-t3184830 to install recovery and cloudyg2 3.3. The phone now shows as D802.
For some reason, now I cannot use the hardware keys to boot into recovery. I can boot into the recovery using an app. These are the combinations I tried:
1. after phone shutdown, press vol down + power until lg logo comes. Then release them and press them again
Result When the lg logo comes and I release the two buttons and press them again after sometime the phone turns off. During this time the led on top lights up as though booting into phone until the phone turns off.
2. after phone shutdown, press vol down + power until lg logo comes. Then release only the power button and press it again(keep pressing the vol down).
Result Same as above.
3. press vol down + power until lg logo comes. Then release them and press vol up + power
Result The phone boots into safe mode.
To install cloudyg2, I had to use an app to boot into recovery (after installing recovery) as manually restarting the phone (through power key) would result in the phone getting stuck at LG logo at boot. ( please see my comments on the above link on page 2 for more details).
I need the functionality to boot into recovery using the hardware keys in case the os fails to boot after installing some zip.
Please help!!
Update Just noticed in the ROM Manager app, under the installed recovery it shows both CWM and TWRP. But shows current recovery as TWRP. Is this an app issue or the reason for my above problem?
Hi I'm trying to boot into recovery
I'm pressing power and volume down, releasing power and pressing again when I see the LG logo. But it doesn't work. The phone just shows the Resurrection boot animation, and then powers off after a seconds.
Is there another way to get to recovery?

I figured out that I had installed a new Bootstack to be compatible with the Ressurection Rom. That bootstack uses another way of getting into recovery
pres and hold vol down and power, when LG logo appears, let go, and press vol up and vol down
Quick question for all. Have TWRP installed, rooted all good.
Trying to reboot into recovery when power is off. I read to hold down vol down and power until LG pops up then let it go then hold it again.
I do that, then the bootloader screen pops up. What do I do, I'm lost!!

ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU HAVE TWRP INSTALLED!!!!! OTHERWISE YOU WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE!!!!!
While the device is powered off, press and hold Vol - and Power button. When you see the LG logo quickly release only the power button and re-press and hold the power button (Never let go of the Vol - button) This will boot you into the LG Factory reset screen. ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU HAVE TWRP INSTALLED!!!!! OTHERWISE YOU WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE!!!!! Choose yes to both options and you will be rebooted into TWRP. TWRP intercepts this command and ignores the factory reset part.
There's a nice app in the Playstore by the same guy that makes 3minit battery called 3minit rebooter. Free and works awesome to reboot recovery.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=three.minit.Rebooter
or, use adb on your computer and do "adb reboot recovery" - it is the most reliable method for me

The same method helped me get into recovery. Just remember to let go of the power button for around a sec before repressing it again.
Hi, my device is boot-looping forever. I cannot enter recovery (I have TWRP installed). I cannot even switch it off.
What I have tried:
- normal switch off through power button (device is not switching off). It always restarts itself
- reboot to recovery (Power + Vol Up)
- reboot to bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
- force hard reset (Power + Vol Down for 7 seconds, then Power + Volume Up)
None is working.
Can I enter the recovery, maybe issuing some commands from a computer?
Any other option I could try?
Thanks!

No, the PC won't help. The trick is to hold power and vol down and as soon as the screen blanks, switch from VOL down to up, while keeping power button pressed. You have to be quick when switching or it will just bootloop again. And the cable shouldn't be plugged in.
Thanks, this helped. I recovered from the bootloop.
Hi, I'm stuck in bootloop too. The fix above isn't working for me. Could somebody discribe the process a bit differently please? Maybe I'm doing it wrong? What exactly is the time to switch from volume down to up?
My bootloop shows the Samsung logo then a warning about unlocked bootloader with prompt to press power and then the Samsung bootlogo again. Inbetween the screen turns of for a few seconds.
I was able to go to download mode by connecting the tablet to my pc and pressing vol + and - at the same time. Then I installed the nexus rom by Magendanz. Made a factory reset and format data in twrp. Everything is fine now.
