While attempting to put Clockwork Mod Recovery on my Sprint LG G2, my phone restarted and was stuck in a bootloop. I attempted to boot it into Recovery Mode to wipe data and hopefully fix it, but when I held down the volume down and power button, a screen would flash saying: "Recovery Mode. Loading..." and immediately take me to Fastboot.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

I have installed CyanogenMod on many devices before, and have never had as many issues as with the LG G2.
I was able to install CWM Recovery, and I used that to backup my existing ROM, and to Install CM-10.2, the build for the vs980.
After installing, and rebooting, I am getting stuck on an infinite boot screen. And I have no idea how to bot into recovery.
The default boot to recovery / factory reset screen is supposed to be, holding the power button until the LG Logo appears, then prelease, and hold again... This does not work, it just goes right back into trying to boot CM.
If I hold Power + Vol+, I enter some Firmware Update screen.
How would one enter CWM Recovery using only hardware? And how can I fix my infinite bootloop?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
**Edit**
I found out that I was going into this mode, and not recovery / factory reset... because I was still plugged in via USB... As soon as I unplugged, I was able to do this as expected.
Mod, please delete. I am unable, and I have solved my own problem.
I am rooted with custom recovery, stuck on logo screen. I Can get to DL mode, but not recovery to restore my backup. usb debugging is enabled on the device, but its the Verizon version so it needs "Ethernet" connectivity to communicate via adb. so as of now its not communicating. anyway to send reboot recovery command so I can back up? or am I going to have to flash all the way back to stock through KDZ? and if I do that, do I lose root, and recovery, having to start all over?
What do you mean you can't get to recovery?

Lol. I mean i when I hold volume down and power key sequence it still just boots to lg logo and loops. I can not boot into twrp. Only download mode. What partition is recovery located? I am starting to wonder if I wiped it?

Aaand are you sure you released and pressed the keys again when the lg-logo came up? Also you should be able to get to the white lg reset-screen even if you have empty recovery partition.

Yes, I was. But I guess my timing was bad. I eventually got in, and recovered. Thanks for responding
I am rooted and my attempt to install TWRP was unsuccessful, the ADB kept failing to keep a connection with the phone.
I want to verify that I can install the ZVA update without an issue. When I try to enter recovery mode it wont work. Tried holding the vol down and power wait for LG logo, release and hold power button until it enters recovery but it just powers down again. Using a different method I did get it into a recovery mode with the android guy and some really small writing with options in the upper left corner. IT says "Android System Recovery <3e>" Is this the factory recovery mode? How can I tell if I have the wrong recovery mode(s)?

3e is stock recovery so I'd say you're good to flash.

Pressing volume up and power or down or both doesnt lead me to a recovery or anything, how to get tot the bootloader ?
Losing data is no problem.
Hi I have a sprint lg v20. Shows lg boot screen and loops. I try to get into recovery mode to factory reset but says recovery mode please wait then continues looping the lg logo. I have not found anything saying they had a similar problem. As far as I know there is no fastboot mode I can use. Any ideas on how I could fix it? Thanks
Did it just start out of the blue, or did you do something?

Can you get in to download mode? (vol+ then plug in to PC) If so, you may be able to use LGUP to flash a kdz.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
