[Q] Stuck in boot loop and can't access recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone (LG G2 Verizon VS980) reboots at the LG logo (in a loop) after I successfully flashed cyanogenmod 11 and I can't seem to access TWRP with the instructions in their wiki: With the device powered down, hold Volume Down & Power. When the LG logo appears release the buttons and then press them again. Then, press the Power button three times!
Any ideas how I can get into TWRP? I can't connect on adb.

Do you have download mode? You might have to use the flashtool to get out of this.

2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.

If you have the KK bootloader, with phone off, press and hold pwr + vol down till you see LG Logo. Release them and press and hold Vol up + Vol down till you reach the factory reset screen.

[Q] Stuck at boot after Nandroid restore

Hi
I installed FluffyRom (which is based on Simple Rom) on my D802 and everything was ok.
I was not happy with the ROM so I did a Nandroid restore of my previous install which was BlissRom
After reboot I can see the LG logo, which then flickers a bit and fades away and then black screen.
If I connect to my Windows PC I can see the internal storage. If I long press the power button, something vibrates and if I tap the screen I can shut it down so I assume that the rom is running but I do not get the visuals.
I would like to have it working again, what can I do as i don't have an idea... the only thing I found out is that the baseband has been changed by the Simple Rom install ...
BlissPop need JB baseband:

Have you tried either of the following:
Download Mode
Power off your G2.
Hold Volume Up and plug your G2 into PC via USB cable, keep holding Volume Up until your G2 displays "Download Mode".
If in Download Mode follow this tutorial.
Recovery Mode
Power off your G2.
There's 2 possible options to access Recovery depending on your current Bootloader.
JellyBean Bootloader
Hold Power+Volume Down, when the LG Logo appears let go of Power+Volume Down and again hold Power+Volume Down.
KitKat Bootloader
Hold Power+Volume Down, when the LG Logo appears let go of Power+Volume Down and hold Volume Up+Volume Down.
Yes, to power off your phone, long press power button for 15sec.
Then enter recovery with vol down + power like @d00lz say.
(Hold Power+Volume Down, when the LG Logo appears relaise Power+Volume Down and press again Power+Volume Down.)

Or adb reboot recovery

LG G2 D802 (Originally D802T) hardware key combination to boot into recovery not work

I had an indian G2 D802T with stock lollipop 5.0.2. At that time I was able to use the hardware keys to boot into the Hard Reset mode(vol down + power). Then I had it rooted using lg one click root tool and after that also I was able to use the hardware key combination. I then followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/complete-guide-convert-d802t-d802-t3184830 to install recovery and cloudyg2 3.3. The phone now shows as D802.
For some reason, now I cannot use the hardware keys to boot into recovery. I can boot into the recovery using an app. These are the combinations I tried:
1. after phone shutdown, press vol down + power until lg logo comes. Then release them and press them again
Result When the lg logo comes and I release the two buttons and press them again after sometime the phone turns off. During this time the led on top lights up as though booting into phone until the phone turns off.
2. after phone shutdown, press vol down + power until lg logo comes. Then release only the power button and press it again(keep pressing the vol down).
Result Same as above.
3. press vol down + power until lg logo comes. Then release them and press vol up + power
Result The phone boots into safe mode.
To install cloudyg2, I had to use an app to boot into recovery (after installing recovery) as manually restarting the phone (through power key) would result in the phone getting stuck at LG logo at boot. ( please see my comments on the above link on page 2 for more details).
I need the functionality to boot into recovery using the hardware keys in case the os fails to boot after installing some zip.
Please help!!
Update Just noticed in the ROM Manager app, under the installed recovery it shows both CWM and TWRP. But shows current recovery as TWRP. Is this an app issue or the reason for my above problem?

Can't boot into recovery mode

I tried to update my LG G2 D802 from CM12.1 to 13 using the following steps:
1. reboot into twrp (2.8.7.3)
2. full wipe (all but internal storage)
3. installed bootstack-d802-CAF-signed.zip
4. installed CM13
5. reboot system
so far it worked fine, so I went back into recovery mode, installed the open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20151203.zip. After reboot, the phone keep throwing error messages "google service is closed" and keep repeating. I thought it may be an error in the gapps so I went into recovery again and tried to install another gapp version. I did a full-wipe again, but then I accidently did a system reboot. Now the phone is stuck after showing the LG logo and won't start properly. I try to go back into recovery mode:
1. turn off the phone
2. press power + volume down until the logo shows
3. release and repress the both button, which should bring me into recovery mode, but it didnt work. tried it numerous times, but always the same, if I release and press the both button after LG logo, the phone would just restart after few seconds...
can someone help me? Since the phone doesn't start, I can't install anything. Is there another way to get into recovery mode? Or can someone explain to me what I broke?
Don't press and release the volume down and power button at the lg logo. Just hold it until it goes into recovery.
If you can't get in, try to TOT back to stock. I would recommend you stick with rooted stock before you hard brick it(if you haven't done so already). Not only is cm buggy ass hell on the g2 but MM will be even more so since it's so new. Good luck.

+1 to this method, i have been using this when I was not able to get into recovery easily. My issue is unrealted to yours though.
I had a similar issue trying to enter Recovery on my phone. I've tried a lot both methods, so I turned off the device, waited something like 5 minutes, then tried the vol up + vol down method and it worked. I don't know why, but that's not the first time I have to wait a bit longer to try the key combination in order to enter Recovery. Just in case you can't turn off you phone completly, hold power button till phone turns off, keep holding it, wait for the LG logo to show up, when the screen goes off, release the button. Good luck

It's not working for me. I got excited for a minute since others had luck with it, but it was a no-go for me. I know this is an older thread but....
It seems like being rooted, having TWRP and CM13 and Flashify, between all those, something should freakin' work, besides goofy hardware button combos. :crying:

Broken screen and it wont enter recovery

Hi I'm trying to boot into recovery
I'm pressing power and volume down, releasing power and pressing again when I see the LG logo. But it doesn't work. The phone just shows the Resurrection boot animation, and then powers off after a seconds.
Is there another way to get to recovery?

I figured out that I had installed a new Bootstack to be compatible with the Ressurection Rom. That bootstack uses another way of getting into recovery
pres and hold vol down and power, when LG logo appears, let go, and press vol up and vol down
