[Q] LG G2 Wont Boot Into Recovery? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello fellow G2 owners! First post here and sad enough its a question/problem, just moved from an LG Optimus G so Im sad I had to leave the other forum ): Anyhoo, my G2 since before I rooted it and installed a custom recovery would never jump into its own stock recovery. I turned the power off, held both the power button and the volume down button, waited for the LG logo, unheld the buttons then reheld them to only see the logo go away and come back. Now that I am rooted with TWRP, the only way to boot in is through a an app while in the phone. Can anyone let me know how to fix this?

Its tricky, when the LG logo pops up let go and hold down down+power again. You'll get a "factory reset?" screen. Push the power button 3 times (to confirm data wipe) and it'll boot into TWRP.

Yeah I figured out I had to let go and rehold once the LG logo went away and rehold on the black screen. Somehow I dont have to press power 3 times it just loads into recovery!

I have this same problem and can't for the life of me get it to boot, it just spins for hours. How did you solve the issue?
EDIT: Sorted, factory reset before flashing ROM.

Hello, I have seem to soft-bricked my device. I was installing a ROM using TWRP (I forgot the version) and it was taking a very long time, then I stupidly shut-off my phone, and when I turned it on, it was stuck on the LG logo. I cannot boot into recovery using Power + Volume Up button, and I have no idea how to fix this!
Thank you.
EDIT: Got into recovery. The whole /system was wiped, I re-flashed CM10.2, now stuck in boot loop of the Cyanogen Mod boot logo,

It would appear that I did something very similar and is stuck at the logo boot loop. How were you able to get back into recovery?

Do you have the LG bootlogo coming up, if so try this:
Turn off phone, then when off, hold down power and volume down button until it reaches the LG logo and then release and hold it down again, if that doesn't work, when just hold it down until you see a screen that says something like: Hard reset/ factory reset. For me it took me to my recovery screen, where I just flashed a older ROM onto it. I then later flashed a recovery file. I hope this helps, and if you need it any clearer, just reply

Thanks for the reply! I was able to get into the factory reset but had to follow slightly different instructions. The way I've seen it on most wiki sites is that you hold Volume Down and Power button at the same time until the LG logo shows up, then release them and press them down again. This never worked for me.
What I had to do was hold Volume Down and Power button until the LG logo shows up, then release ONLY the Power button while still holding the Volume Down button, then press the Power button again. This method got me into the factory reset consistently and was able to get back into recovery.
Best,
Colin

LG G2 VS980 not booting, system folder permission is changed accidentally
My LG G2 VS980 phone was rooted by myself. It was a factory unlocked phone. Then using Root Browser by JRummy apps i have removed some system apps and just for a try i have changed the permission settings of system app folder to ro. Then on reboot my phone was stuck, it turns ON and after LG and Verizon logo, says "unfortunately, phone has stopped" and i could see some basic apps such as file manager, calculator etc. but i cannot use the phone at all. It is stuck. How to get back to the original factory unlocked condition? Any ideas plz!

[Q] Please help! Stuck at LG Splash screen on boot

I am rooted and had PhilZ recovery installed on the vs980. I wiped data, cache, and davlik to install a new rom, but the install failed. After the install failed I realized I had deleted my backups I had. When I went to reboot the phone said it could not find root and would attempt to root on its own or something of that matter. I am now stuck on the lg spash screen with the led blinking green/blue. I cannot boot into recovery or download mode by holding the volume+power buttons the phone just vibrates and turns off for a sec then right back to the lg screen. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
Yeah try booting into recovery but a little differently this time.. Turn the phone off, hold power and volume down to turn it on but keep holding it until it shuts off again. Then press power and volume down again until the LG logo appears. Release and press them again quickly like normal. This has worked for me in the past when I couldn't boot into recovery. Idk why but it did.. Give it a try

I bricked my phone trying to flash Malladus (LG Bootloop) ... the flash tool isn't wo

So I don't know why this happened, I had rooted and installed TWRP and was happy, so I tried to install Malladus (1.2.9) and gapps and the 24a upgrade .zip, and now here I am.
I've tried most methods, and the LG Flash tool just says "failed PreviousLoad()" when I click the yellow arrow.
I f'd this phone up 12 hours after I got it.
If you see the LG boot logo than there is still a chance to fix the phone. Try to manually go back into recovery. Turn off the phone by long pressing power button. As soon as the screen is black, press power and volume down together, you only get a half second to do it. When LG logo appears release and press them together again until the factory reset screen comes up. Then press power 2 or 3 times and you should go back into your recovery. Once there you can try to reinstall rom, backup or side load a new rom. Hope this helps!
What is your phone model? Without that I cannot help you.
Same problem
Hi guys, like an idiot I was successfully able to install the debloat 4.4.2 on my vzw LG G2 but I tried to flash nandroid recovery back to my 4.2 and now I am stuck on boot loop and cannot get back into recovery. I tried to hard button by pressing both the bottom button and power, and press it again when the lg logo comes on and after pressing the power button a few times, it just goes into a black screen, so I cannot get back into recovery in this manner. Anyone know how I can get back into recovery without going through the full wipe back to factory?

Recovery Problem

ok. i already tried The power button+volumn down release when LG logo appears then press power+volumn down again. but whats happening is that the LG logo keeps on looping unti i release the button it would boot normaly back to my system.
other on is when i boot recovery using an APP like rom manager it would boot to recovery TWRP normally..
and i can go to factory data reset when pressing power+volumn down. then when LG logo appear release and press volumn up + volumn down.
its weird because it differ from the other LG G2
my concern is what if i was stuck in bootloop i cant go to recovery using the power+volumn down..
does anyone has a solution for me?
does anyone has the same problem as me?
im using LG G2 F320s KitKat 4.4.2 already rooter
