Hi
I had rooted my lg g2 then i went back to stock using the instructions on xda and when phone booted after flashing stock rom all my old apps and data was there but without root is this normal? 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.
And one last question does flashing stock rom bring stock recovery back?

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:

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.

If you have the Verizon version, do this:

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.
hey guys,
i flashed a mod to test some things and i'm gettings bootloops right now. tried to restore my made backup before flashing but the phone won't start recovery mode by pressing and holding the power und volume down buttons. tried it with usb cable connected and disconnected.
any ideas?
Hold down power and volume down, release for 1 second asset the lg logo then hold down power and volume down again. Agree to the next 2 prompts and our will take you to your recovery

TWRP won't factory reset your phone anymore when you do that? I heard it was doing that in 2.6.3.1.

LG G2 Rebooting into Recovery
If you have TWRP installed already:
Method 1: In a terminal emulator as root type "reboot recovery"
Method 2: Using an app like Quick Boot
Method 3: Hardware buttons on the G2 - From a power off state hold Power and Volume Down. When you see the LG logo continue holding volume down and release the power button and press it again. It will bring you to a factory reset screen. If you have TWRP installed confirm a factory reset and it will take you to TWRP without wiping your device. If you do not have TWRP installed DO NOT DO THIS if you want to keep your data.
This works on my Verizon G2 but I believe the method is the same for Sprint.
I am so confused OP. What is the problem again? You didn't give any description to the issue or concern.
Doing research I have pre-order ed my G2 I currently have a s3 I do a lot of flashing. I want to be informed on the how to. I used to have a optimus g and I did achive root on that device. But I bricked it trying to get recovery. Dont want to make the same mistakes. .

The Sprint method is slightly different. From http://support.sprint.com/support/tutorial/Perform_a_hardware_factory_reset_LG_G2/49589-396:
With the Volume Down key held, press and hold the Power key.
Release both keys when the Home, Back, and Menu keys light up

I didn't see the Home, Back, and Menu keys light up, but when the recovery mode screen came up I released the buttons.
Best of luck!
Hey guys,
I have flashed the first Official release of CM12 and it is working perfectly. However, it doesn't have the ability to install Nightly updates and I do not know the process to get into TWRP. I've tried doing the Vol Down and Power Button to get into Recovery but it gets me into the Factory Reset option.
Does anyone know how to get into Recovery on a LG G2 using CM12 or how to root CM12 please?
Chris.

Enable developer options and then turn on advanced reboot.
I'm sorry to say this but I don't think you should be modding your phone just yet.
Once you get to the factory reset screen just press the power button for yes. It will not wipe your phone. It will boot you into recovery. The instructions you found probably had that detail in there too.

Why should I not be modding my phone just yet??
So a Tmobile update came on my phone and I decided to click update for some stupid reason... Its early.
I was stock rooted with TWRP installed.
After clicking that it rebooted and went into TWRP recovery. Whether I reboot or turn off and manually go into recovery I can't get it to reboot normally whatsoever.
I tried to flash WETA rom and everything went properly with the install but affter the reboot I am still left with TWRP.
Any suggestions on how to get my phone working again. I am downloading the 10i KDZ file now but was hoping there was another answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Power off or pull battery for a sec.
Hold vol down and power button - as soon as you see LG logo - release and immediately re-press power button only while continuing to hold vol down.
Factory reset screen will come up if you did it right. Use vol down to select YES twice to factory reset. ( It won't really reset anything but the recovery boot trigger ).
You'll end up in twrp. Just select reboot system and profit
