G2 wont boot after hard reset, won't enter TWRP - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I`m ashamed to admit it, but i think i might have bricked my phone.
Long story short, i flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0, entered it, and did a hard reset, the one you have to type yes to confirm.
Then thinking i get a clean slate (stupid me) i rebooted, and now after the t-mobile logo there is NOTHING. just a green/blue flashing led.
I tried holding power+volume - but the phone is on, and i cannot turn it off. So i held both buttons till it reset and then after i saw the logo released and held again. Then i get a blinking red light.
I must have somehow deleted everything the phone contains?! even twrp? How is that possible, and why would it be an option in twrp?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Normally you should be able to switch the phone of completely by pressing only the power button till it reboots, but then don't release the power button for another let's say 5 seconds. After this your phone will be off completely and you can press power + volume down till the LG logo appears, then release very shortly and press again till it asks for factory reset. Press the power button till it says factory reset processing and it will boot into twrp. Normally you cannot whipe twrp with twrp [emoji6]

When you can enter twrp you can sideload a Rom from your pc or install via otg

pffff, that was the trick.. managed to boot into twrp and now sideloading a rom.
thanks!

LG G2 802 Soft Bricked

Hello.
I have an LG G2 802 that i managed to royally screw up last night, I was about to install the new firmware update for my phone, completely forgetting that i had a custom rom installed on it. After the firmware update was finished downloading, the phone rebooted into TWRP and would not boot normally after that, could not boot into the previous custom rom i had installed... I decided to wipe all the data, and try to use an old backup i had laying on the internal storage, got to it, wiped all data and started recovering the old backup. But the revovery wasn't working properly and it gave me an error, after fiddling around with TWRP a little more, i went into wipe -> advanced wipe -> and wiped everything, because i had an idea that i could just force a new rom over by ADB from my PC, and this all resulted in that I have no operating system, the phone boots into TWRP all the time, I've tried to hard reset it, but it just boots into TWRP whatever i do
Please help
Just flash a new KDZ over it. And next time check XDA if someone had the same problem as you and you will find the solution.
I've done a quick search about flashing a new kdz, and they involve getting into download mode, I can't access download mode, it just sends me to TWRP no matter what i do

Are you able to boot into download mode?

Ok Hold the power button until the phone flashes twice and then let go off the power button. When it's off, hold volume up and then connect it to USB simultaneously.
I just tried doing that, held the power off button until the LG logo flashed twice, the phone turned off, and then i held volume up button, LG logo appeared and then it just went straight into TWRP

For those who have similar issues, I did the below steps:
1. While connected to computer in CWM recovery, install the drivers via PdaNet (these replace any original LG drivers)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1983470
2. Connect to phone via ADB while still connected in CWM recovery (see below ADB download if you didn't already have it or forgot where it was)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317790
3. While connected via ADB you can use the same method as in the below thread (use the first one).

Tried it, it turns off, then the notification light at the top of the phone (beside the front camera) blinks 8 times if i constantly hold the volume up and power button, as soon as i release power button and volume up, the phone boots with the LG logo and then goes into TWRP.

What he meant was, hold the Volume Up button & connect the phone to your PC. Don't have to hold power button at all. Try this mate.

When the notification LED starts to blink, let go of both buttons for a split second and hold them back again. Make sure USB is connected. Since you have TWRP working, Download should also be available.

The problem is that you have to have the phone off to even attempt to get in to download mode.

If i try to power off the phone WITH the usb cable connected to it, it just reboots automatically, so i cannot power off the phone without it rebooting all by itself, and then going into TWRP.
I tried to hold volume up and power while my phone was in TWRP and it rebooted, LG logo came up and then the red notification light started blinking, then i tried to do what you told me to, quickly release volume up and power button, while the LED was blinking, but nothing happened, other than the phone just rebooting, and then the LED started blinking red again, this just looped over and over again...
Turn it off, hold volume up and connect USB cable. Does it go to download mode?

I had the same problem, stuck on logo lg , when i tried to go to download mode, i got stuck in the first step of it (i can't see the step with firmware update etc...) and when i tried to make a factory hard reset, it goes on the recovery mod.
After seeing many forums since 3-4 days, i tried to flash the kitkat kernel, so i used the adb sideload ---> so connected on recovery mod, then make install from sideload, then on your command (on windows) type adb sideload thenameofthekernel /sdcard/ and normally the recovery should install himself the kernel and you can reboot your phone
I still have an issue, can't access on download mode but i can use the phone as before, so if anyone can help, i listen you ^^

Hold down the power button till the it turns off and keep it held down the LG logo will flash up again then go off after that release it and wait a few seconds making sure the phone does not boot up again. Then hold down the volume up button and with the usb connected to the computer plug the USB into the phone this should then put it into download mode.
Why don't you sideload a rom in twrp recovery via adb?

Upon powering off device hold volume then hold power button, once LG splash screen while keep holding volume down, release power button and press again and hold. Next screen will be LG factory reset hit yes and yes on next screen. Take couple seconds but TWRP recovery will come up (volume buttons change, power button is your enter key). Stock recovery is replaced with TWRP as well, if you haven't changed from stock then stock recovery will appear. Hope it helps.

My p9 lite _-53 its stuck in the huawei logo

hi guys i'm using Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L53
i rooted my phone two days ago and everything was ok, then i left my phone charging and in the morning my phone was turned off and when i tried turning it back on, it got stuck on the huawei logo and i cant get past it.
i had bootloader open, twrp and root
phone doesn't react to my key combinations (power, power+volume up, power+volume up+down vs.. you got it.).
then i cant connect my phone to my pc, it doesnt make any sound when i connect it and my computer doesn't say anything about about my phone being connected.
All my impressions are that's it. how can i fix it? or is it a hard brick or something unrepairable?

Can you get into fastboot?
You have to boot it into fastboot. You can't turn off it now, but you can reboot it. Connect to your pc,press the power button for 10 seconds, it will hard reboot, but when it turn off press the vol - pressing power. You will enter to fastboot.
Now unlock again the bootloader
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------
If all success, you can flash the twrp and flash the ROM

You can know because there is a write and a robot icon.
So, try press power + vol - together for 10 seconds.

Cannot access bootloader anymore; phone stuck in boot sequence.

64GB USA XT1575.
Unlocked bootloader. Loaded TWRP 3.1.1.
Loaded AICP 10/8/2017, and OpenGapps mini.
No root; No Magisk.
Functioned fine.
Did dirty upgrade to a November version.
Phone had been glitch since in function, and reboots.
It has deteriorated to reboots and never finishes animation.
I cannot get the phone off, then to bootloader.
If I disconnect battery, wait a few hours, and reconnect:
I cant connect the battery and quickly hold power and vol down and get bootloader.
I get warning Boot loader unlocked screen, then an AICP loading animation that never ends.
If I hold in power button, it reboots to the same scenario.
Even holding in power/vol down during process wont get to bootloader .
What would deteriorate phone into not being able to get into bootloader, but phone is not hard-bricked with no boot at all?
I need to get to TWRP so I can fully wipe this phone and whatever is causing all of this.
Any ideas?
Do we have an unbrick "loader" for the sdcard like the XT1572 folks do?
IDK about the unbrick tool, but I have had a constant boot up, turn the phone off and it quickly reboots again. For me what worked is all about timing! I power the phone off and as soon as the screen powers down I hold power and volume down until bootloader screen! It takes some time to get it right on time, but it's worked for me in the past on my moto x pure edition. I'm stock 7.0 now but the issues occurred running custom roms, so really the same situation. Good luck and hope you get it. And I hope you have a backup to restore once you get into twrp?!?!
"If I hold in power button, it reboots to the same scenario.
Even holding in power/vol down during process wont get to bootloader ."
On bootloop:
Hold power key only, when screen goes black - hold vol- only. It should go to BL screen.
AICP doesn't work at Nougat modem(radio/baseband).
You need to flash MM modem or reflash full Stock Nougat and stay on it.

I have 3+ of these phones. MY personal one works fine . This is a different unit of mine with this problem that was working fine before.
Fixed--one of the issues (others reported also) with later AICP is cant charge phone. We had that issue with this phone also.
On a hunch, I went to my Moto X Pure graveyard basket, and took out another battery, and put it in.
Viola--I can get into boot loader. The original battery must have deep-cycled so bad, it was dead, and even plugged in, cant get to bootloader.

A dreaded white circle..any solutions???

Hi guys
I used uppercut/lgup with my F800L Korean version V20
I was able to put the phone in download mode and connect to the computer and flash the proper .KZD file. It fully flashes and completes without error HOWEVER after disconnecting the usb cable as the phone reboots, for a split second a large whitish circle pops up in the loading screen and says "erasing" below the circle. The phone does not continue on booting, just stuck at the starting logo.
Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!!!
Anyone?

Boot into recovery and Wipe. Power it off (Battery Pull), hold volume down, push power untill it vibrates. The LG logo will pop up, click the power button for a sec. (still holding the volume down button).

I have this same issue with a US996. I previous had LineageOS with TWRP, potentially with encryption. I did the LGUP to the stock KDZ and I am in stuck in the same boot loop. Doing the factory reset as described here, does not help.

Turned out my battery was dead. Now it is stuck on the Secure start-up screen, asking for a PIN. I tried using any previous PINs doesn't seem to work. I will try to charge for a bit and factory reset again.
