I have TWRP installed, and I've been flashing ROMs, but I'll inevitably run into a boot issue due to a kernel or maybe some ROM incompatibility. I'm just really trying them all out to see what they each have. Only a few are even kept up to date now.
Anyway, Vol - and power button do not take me to TWRP. It always takes me to the Factory Reset thing that LG has on it. Is there a way to get into custom recovery with the hardware keys?
I can almost do LGFT back to 10d, ioroot25, and TWRP install blindfolded.

If you do in fact have a custom recovery installed, then when you get to the factory reset screen (via Vol - and Power) go through with hitting the power button 3 times
Don't worry, it will take you to your recovery instead of factory resetting.
Ahh, I see then. I've always been afraid it would restore stock firmware. Thank you!

You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.
i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone
use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed
Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.
thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?
any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.
What are the button combinations to enter recovery on this phone? I have googled and looked in other threads, but it apparently is just assumed everyone knows this.
Thanks in advance

If you are rooted, Titanium Backup, Goo Manager, Power Reboot...These are all applications in the Play Store. As far as using the buttons, I am sure they have worked out the issues using the hardware buttons, but I don't do it that way. Hope this helped!!
For TWRP press and hold the power and volume down button. When the LG logo pops up let go for a second and press the combo again. You'll be prompted to press the power button 3 times to wipe the device. Then It'll boot into TWRP without wiping.

Flash back to stock is the only solution. Been there done that. After you get rooted and newest twrp you won't have to worry again going forward.

thank you so much for your fast reply.
what I need and meant by recovery mode is where i can format the rom and restore the factory setting when i fail to log in the operating system ( usually was VOLUME DOWN AND POWER BUTTON to get it ) but this method is not working here.
After flashing CM 11, I haven't been able to get past the phone set up (instantly crashes). After downloading a CM 10.1 ROM on to the phone and wiping the phone, I also deleted the ROM. Then the phone restarted itself and now I'm just stuck at the Google logo, and cannot access recovery. I remember having a similar issue on the Galaxy S, but don't remember the solution.
Trying to turn the phone off by holding the power button down for ten seconds just restarts the phone in the same state.
Any ideas?
Try to turn it off completely, start the phone in fastboot (bootloader) mode, and then flash the factory image
Holding down the power button for 10 seconds just restarts the phone. Is the battery removable?

That worked, thanks!
You just saved me a lot of time waiting for the battery to die
Just out of curiosity, does flashing the stock ROM keep root and CWM or do I have to install these again?

Is it a flashable zip or are you flashing a factory image?
If your flashing the factory image and you're using the flashall.bat yes you will have to reflash root and a recovery
It was a factory image. Is there a need for a custom recovery or is the default fine?

You can get into TWRP by pressing and holding the power and volume down keys until the phone reboots, releasing them, then pressing and holding them again once the LG logo comes up. It's a little tricky and might take a couple of times to get the timing right. There will be a white screen that says "Factory hard reset" (which just means boot into recovery since the default recovery performs a factory reset). Press the power button 3 times to confirm and you'll enter TWRP.
Thanks for the info, haha Ive been using ROM manager to get me into recovery since I never knew how to get there using hardware buttons
You can also install GooManager from the Play Store. It has an option to reboot to recovery.
thank you soo much now i desire to custom my device hehee
Hi

So i decided to do a hard reset with the volume down and power key but it just doesnt boot into stock recovery or hard reset menu i tried more than 30 times!! What has happened to my stock recovery? Do i not have a. recovery or what? What should i do please help me. I am running kit kat on lg g2 d802 international version.

yes, flashing stock kdz brings stock recovery back.
The new combination is, hold power + volume down until you see the lg logo, release shortly, then hold volume up and volume down(this will perform a factory reset).
Try connecting to a pc, turn on debuging mode. Download adb, type adb reboot recovery
or terminal emulator from play store --also reboot recovery
Hi thanks for the help the new combination is still not working do i have to get the timing perfect or what?
Well. Is it the new 20b and 20d? Power off the phone. Hold vol down and power until the lg logo, release just for a short moment and then hold just volume up and volume down.

Thankyou soooo much adb worked and i got to the recovery and did a factory reset and cache reset from there. Is this the same as the button combination reset or are the two resets different? and i did data wipe reset first then cache reset is that right?
Again thankyou so much for your help i really appreciate it.:good:
One last question how do i wipe dalvik cache without root and custom recovery?
It's the same. They changed the combination since 20b(new 20b)

You can't. You can do a factory reset from settings or manually per APP clear caches.

So far so good. Backup not needed.
ROOT still shows up in download mode
I followed the very same procedure to return my phone to stock firmware, but when i enter download mode, it still shows up as "ROOT" in red in the bottom. And i'm unable to enter stock recovery or even the hard reset menu(the one where power button needs to be pressed thrice to reset).
PLEASE HELP ! I hope there is nothing seriously wrong with the device:crying:
