I had installed twrp and now cwm but whenever I try to boot to recovery on either I just end up with a fast boot screen. I then have to hold down power button to restart the phone. I am wanting to make a back up. I am rooted and on kitkat.
Fixed by installing Autorec

It's very strange - I can't get to recovery by holding down power + vol-up + home buttons. The message comes up that it's booting recovery but then disappears for a second and then either powers off or boots normally.
I can boot into recovery through the toolkit/odin/goomanager however and I've also found that I can boot into recovery if I first go into download mode, press vol-down to cancel download and boot normally and then immediately press the vol-up/power/home button combination.
I have TWRP installed but I previously had philz CWM and this problem happened with both. If i remember rightly the first recovery I tried to install was the original CWM with odin but when I booted into recovery it was still the stock recovery. I'm not sure if this information is necessary though.
Can anyone help me with this or why this could be happening?

When was the last time you updated SuperSU?
Go to the playstore and download/install the latest version reboot the phone normally and after reboot reboot into recovery.
Good luck!
Thanks, that worked. I can now get into recovery with the button combo.

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.
My device is rooted. I tried installing clockwork but no image for my device. I tried installing TWRP but nothing happens when I reboot. I can't reboot into clockwork recovery mode or TWRP. Both immediately reboot to the LG screen after 1 second of the android. What am I doing wrong?
Hey,
Try this if the recovery is really installed (FOR SURE IF RECOVERY IS INSTALLED):
Shut down the phone and Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
If not then

Hit thanks if this helped you.
are u using stock rom with root?
if so then the reboot option will always only reboot the phone, not reboot to recovery of choice.
try third party app that has option to reboot to recovery like Goo Manager :good:

Please help,
I was trying to update and install a custom rom on my daughters LG 705G with ICS. The phone is rooted and I installed SU. When I tried to install CWM it is now stuck in startup loop and I keep getting a driver error on my PC.
The phone just keeps rebooting, will not stay on.
Does the CWM gets installed ? If yes you can flash a custom ROM then wipe data to fix it.
To enter CWM, you can use the button combo; Home + Vol. Down then press Power until it vibrates
I recently installed twrp instructions and installed a custom ROM. Even since then the device boots normally into twrp recovery only. to boot into the rom, I have to boot through recovery, press power + volume dn and then it boots to the regular ROM. Should I start over on this or is there a way to change that preference so the device boots normally into the OS instead of twrp.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else already. I looked.

I am facing same issue. I don't have twrp or custom rom but stock recovery and stock rom. Everytime I boot or restart my phone it goes to recovery mode!! I couldn't find solution yet and its very annoying.
Try following the steps in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325 Of course, ensure you have backups before erasing anything.
