[SOLVED] I managed to get into custom recovery and restore. Not sure why switching to ART gave me this problem in the first place. Thread can be closed/deleted.

I need help with what to do...
I have a VS980 LG G2 (Verizon) running TWRP 2.8.1.1 and CloudyG3 2.0. I switched from Davlik to ART. I know first boot is supposed to take 10-20 minutes and depends on how many apps you have installed (I have a decent number, but I don't think it's overboard), but I'm well beyond 20 minutes now. It's sitting at the LG logo screen (not even the "Android is upgrading apps" screen or whatever I was expecting) and feels warm like it's doing something. I can't use the Volume - and Power button combo to get into recovery, only to hard reboot the phone. The blue/green LED is blinking slowly like a normal boot would.
How can I get into recovery? Once I do, I'll know how to restore, but is there a way to connect it to my Windows laptop and sideload a ROM so I can reboot into recovery and restore? Any help would be appreciated. I'm good at following tutorials to do stuff, but not well versed in adb/fastboot stuff where I would know what to type in.

So I was running CWM (Philz) I believe, and I had been running into issues while on rooted 4.2.2 D800 stock ROM. There were force closes and random reboots, etc. I've only installed xposed mods. I've also used android tuner to adjust some of the build.prop and kernel presets.
However, after my phone got stuck in what I thought was a boot loop, I finally got it up and running. What happened next was odd. I tried booting into recovery -> the "LG" splash screen showed up and it went into another infinite boot loop.
I'm assuming I somehow corrupted or lost my recovery. Any advice on what to do? I don't know if I should follow the original instructions for flashing a recovery here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150.
Edit: Jesus christ my phone infuriates and confuses the hell out of me. After attempting to enter the recovery again, I am now stuck in a permanent boot loop. The last time I fixed it was by turning my phone off....and then *WAITING*.
What? That doesn't make sense you say? Of course it doesn't. But that's still what worked. I waited 12 hours, and then tried turning it on again. When I did, oh look, the AT&T screen!
CONFUSING. help please...
Double edit (Hard Mode): Going into download mode when I'm in this constant bootloop = nothing happens. That little icon that says "Download Mode" with the 5 blue circles just stays there, and my laptop ends up not recognizing anything. This happened the last time too, and all I was able to see on my laptop was "QHSUSB_BULK". I thought this meant that I would have to do a complete wiping process through Linux (found on another thread somewhere), but apparently waiting 12 hours also fixed the problem.
Hello everyone,
i tried installing CM11 on my d802 with CWM. Flashed the zip and worked fine but im now hanging in a boot loop and only the CM splashscreen is showing. I tried to boot into recovery but it wont let me, only thing working is the download mode. I searched a couple of threads here but didnt really found anything that helps me.
Hope someone got an idea how to get my G2 working again, dont even care much if its stock or CM.

This happend to me with my LS980, heres what I did, i waited until my G2 was fully charged, i knew it was fully charged becuase in download mode you should see the letter B, the letter B indicates the battery, if your battery is at "B100" detach your phone from the charger, hold the power button for the phone to restart, and quickly press and hold the power button and the volume down button at thw same time,, repeat this step again quicly after the Boot Logo shows up, and you should boot into Recovery Mode and restore your backup.

howw to charge the phone when it on bootloop,whenever i plugged the cable its start bootloop
I have the ATT model g2. it was running android 4.2.2 and i rooted. i got an OTA notification yesterday so i unrooted it, and uninstalled busybox. and went ahead with the update. now, my phone does not turn on. you go to turn it on and the lg logo flashes for a second or two, then a black screen, if you look closely you can tell that the screen panel is still lit, but nothing shows up. It will not boot to download mode, and it does boot to the (stock LG recovery, i never had a custom recovery) recovery, but when i hit the power button 3 times to do the hard reset, i get the black screen again, and no boot. when i connect it to my computer, it gives me a bunch of popups saying that i need to reformat a drive before i can use it, somewhere around 15-20 of them? ive run out of ideas to fix it. any and all help is appreciated. would really like my g2 back, im back to my old phone which was a nexus 5 that has a terribly cracked screen, and i really like to get the g2 back rather than having to pay to get my screen replaced.
[Q] D802 hard bricked after wiping & flashing TWRP, no recovery, stuck in boot loop
TL;DR: Wanted to install CM12.1, wiped everything except Internal Storage from TWRP, flashed new version of TWRP (3.0.0-0), hard bricked my D802 (stuck in LG logo, can't get into recovery mode)
ISSUE: My LG G2 is stuck in a boot loop. Only the LG logo is displayed and when I try to turn off the phone by holding down the power button, it will blank out for a few seconds and then display the LG logo again. I tried accessing recovery mode via the hardware buttons and it takes me to the factory reset screen, and after I do press the power button twice it just takes me to a blank screen. I can get the phone into download mode, although my Windows machine doesn't recognize the phone even though its drivers are installed.
I am currently trying this guide. Although I'm not sure what KDZ/TOT to download for my phone :/
All the important files on my phone like photos and contacts are stored in the cloud so I can basically reset the phone to its factory state, if it comes to that.
If someone could help me with a guide or anything that can lead me into the right steps for fixing the phone, I would be really thankful.

Then I don't think what just happened with me is a coincidence, hmmmmmm
Does't anybody have an idea for a solution other than using KDZ? something like flashing the bootstack or recovery through PC?

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEY
I just got something:
So after using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/tools-srk-tool-useful-toos-lg-root-twrp-t3079076
I got my phone to boot to recovery, I used Unbrick to get my phone working again, now the only thing left is to get phone to actually boot to ROM
Anybody got a solution? Should I just reflash the ROM?
Update 2: I re-flashed the ROM, wiped cache and fixed permissions, still waiting for it to boot, I don't know, I think you're better off just backing up the ROM, clean install and then restore apps using TB from the nandroid backup
Final update: yup, clean flash it is
I hope this has helped

You are goinf good mate ! follow the guide.
Hey everyone,
So my phone died and then I got it charged and turned on and it booted up to the encryption lock screen where it says to start up your device, enter your pin. So I enter my pin and then its says, "verified" and then "starting android". and then a padlock appears on the screen, it opens, and there's like a load up circle going around it. At first, I let the phone sit to see if it would do anything but after an hour, I figured something is wrong. I dont know why this happened, I think I might have accidentally turned on the secondary encryption, but this really sucks, I don't want to have to factory reset and lose all my pictures and data. I can boot into recovery mode but sometimes when i turn it on it shows a screen that says installing update and has like a google ring looking thing that should be spinning around but it looks like its glitching out, after that screen it will go to a no command screen, and then it will eventually reach recovery mode. I really hope someone can help or knows what is going on because, I really dont want to lose all my stuff.
Thanks for your time
I tried posting link but im new, if you look up s7 edge frozen encryption, its the first link , another person describes the same issue.
I had this issue. In recovery, tell it to clear the delvic cache. Then try a reboot.
It too a few attempts before the phone would not boot directly into recovery. But once i got it to do a normal boot, it started normally.
Then after it's running, back it all up, boot into recovery, and do a system restore.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I restarted my phone, it asks for my pin which I enter correctly. It then gets stuck on spinning padlock. I've tried a soft reset (I think that's what it's called, holding down power and volume keys). It restarts, I enter pin, it says starting android then gets stuck again. I'm not very tech minded (typical girl). Can anyone help. I'd rather not lose all my photos and apps. Thank you so so much in advance. Toni x
I am facing the same issue, but with a Samsung Galaxy S8.
- Safe mode: doesn't boot
- Recovery mode: works, clear cache doesn't solve the problem.
So since nothing worked to make it work (except the Factory Reset, but I didn't tried this option), I decided to wait in the padlock screen. After 3 hours the phone started.
I guess that the phone is decrypting some big file during startup. Indeed, some days before before this problem happens, I downloaded some big files via torrent (~2-4 GB video files).
I'll delete these files and make some tests to understand the source of this problem.
Have same issue after recent update, tried clearing cache and safe mode but didn't help, been on padlock for about 10 hours now, any solutions/experiences?
ps: on stock rom with stock recovery, no root or anything of that sort at all.
Have exactly the same issue..Please help
