Hey guys, I need some help.
So here's the situation, Im on CloudyG2 3.3 with Dorimanx Kernel.
Before, I wasnt able to flash Dorimanx because my bootloader isnt 20H kitkat, always getting stuck on bootloop. After flashing 20H kitkat through bootloader changer, I was able to flash dorimanx. It's working properly. After that, everytime I reboot my phone, it still get stuck on bootloop. I have found out a couple of things while in this situation.
1) The key combination to boot to recovery is still the old one ( hold vol down+power.. lg logo appears.. re-hold the said button combination) as opposed to the new one for 20h which is hold vol down+power... lg logo appears... hold vol down + vol up.
2) In order for me to be able to boot into system, I have to hold vol down + power.. logo appears ... hold vol down + vol up (I know its weird, it supposed to boot me into recovery but instead it boots me into the system).
2a) My phone has to be cool or in normal temperature in order to boot into system with the said button combination. If its hot, it wont boot into system.
3) I have tried flashing only the 20H kitkat bootloader from Dorimanx's website. It didnt do the job, though the supposed button combination to boot into recovery now works, but i cant boot into system now. see #2 why.
Any other fix on this? its kinda fkup.

I have tryed the lg flash tool and had no luck. Only had the phone a day :crying:
Volume up + power will eventually get you to a screen where it asks you if you want to factory reset, idk how many times but youll get to it eventually..

Recently i have updated the phone from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 by LG PC suite and OTA upgrade. During 4.2.2 i am able to boot into stock recovery by pressing power + vol down button, but after upgrade my phone was unable to boot into custom recovery nor hard reset. The LG logo just appear and disappears (Like how you force shutdown a phone).
My phone is unrooted and no custom recovery has been flashed. (I was a little worried for flashing custom recovery and start rooting since i cant boot into stock recovery in D80220b-HKG-XX
Does anyone experiencing this or is recovery accessible only after custom recovery has flashed?
Thanks.

Hi, There's many, MANY threads talking about NOT upgrading with OTA, instead install custom recovery and flash thru recovery stock KK with SuperSU.
I (and many) don't trust OTA for the same reason, sometimes something goes wrong and you have no custom recovery and no Rom. If you don't have experience rooting, unlocking, so on ,,, your best bet is go to your cell company and tell them you took OTA and your phone broke, they should be able to give you a new one since you don't have ROOT or Custom Recovery.
Hope this helps

So in order for me to get rooted kk with custom recovery, i have to revert back to jellybean in G2 and flash custom recovery +root stock kitkat?
I wonder why does manufacturer made things harder...
Sincere thank you for the answer, Have a nice day!

NP, yes just go back to JB ->root -> TWRP -> flash stock KK -> flash SuperSU 2.x ->profit
If you want TWRP in KK just intall AutoREC.
The reset process is changed since 20b (i think I'm not wrong!?)
1. hold power + volume down until you see the lg logo --- release shortly (just release and after releasing 2.)
2. hold volume up + volume down instead of volume down + power

Wow It works! But it booted me to hard reset mode, is there anyway to boot into recovery mode? Or am i only able to boot into recovery once i flashed custom recovery like TWRP?
Thanks a bunch sir!

once you flash TWRP via autorec it will take you back to twrp (the old combination)
For now you can't boot to recovery(you might try "adb reboot recovery" - it might factory reset if this is your fresh installed kdz

Absolutely correct and these type of answers are incredibly HARD to come by since most of the youtube vids + google search results are methods prior to the 20b update.
For the users out there with the latest update, they will have a hard time searching for the right combination. With the latest update, pushing down button + power key again and holding it will only result in the phone powering off.
For the ultimate method, use ADB reboot recovery via PC to access stock recovery.
(If you have rooted your G2 before via IOROOT method, you would have noticed the existence of the G2's stock recovery menu when this command was executed by IOROOT during the root process.)
*Be Aware* Holding the Vol Up + Vol Down key will bring up the Factory Hard Reset. You only enter YES if you're confident you have TWRP custom recovery installed, it will not perform a hard reset but instead load up TWRP immediately. This is the only way to enter TWRP through the phone. But if you had stock recovery it will erase everything in your phone! (incl. camera photos and vids)
I've heard something about bricking the phone if custom recovery was installed and OTA update was performed. With the imminent Lollipop official release, most users need to be aware of this or refresh their minds readily to avoid themselves another round of headache...
Boy these LG phones are complicated to mod as compared to the Nexi or the Galaxies....
My phone won't boot after installing the latest DU custom rom. I followed the steps here https://plus.google.com/+AlexCruz/posts/JJ5d9v6DArW - rooted and installed latest clockwork mod recovery, did a backup, and wiped everything, then installed the custom rom. But now it is stucked at the Dirty Unicorns boot screen.. Please help.
Some extra info: I was on 4.2.2 (802 international) before the flash
Edit: i can't even get to recovery now, by holding power and volume down buttons at LG logo. Is my phone dead?

Are you getting to the factory hard reset prompt? You have to go through that to get back into the recovery. Then you can just restore from Backup.

--This is copied and paste from another thread--
"You should be able to get to CWM recovery by using the hardware button (power and volume down held down, flash LG logo for a second, and then shuts off--only then you can turn it back on by holding power and volume down together until LG logo pops on, then let go of both buttons quickly, hold down both power and volume down again, and then quickly let go of the volume down button: a white factory reset screen should pop up and then you can push power button alone twice to enter CWM recovery).
If above does not work, you may need to KDZ back to stock using download mode (google LG G2 download mode) and USB cable (the one that comes with the phone as some USB cable won't work as they're charge only cable). You'll have to reroot with IOROOT25 and start over again."
--
I have no idea what fastboot or download mode is but your phone should be soft-bricked? If you can get into recovery or the factory reset screen you should be safe.
I wasn't able to get into the recovery at first but then I kept trying and trying and managed to get in by luck. Lol. I then wiped everything including Dalvik cache in Advanced and rebooted and was relieved to find it booted into Dirty Unicorns. I guess i was lucky.
0. LG G2 4.4.2 D802 CIS
1. Get "root" by Stump 1.2.0
2. Using AutoRec
3. Reboot in recovery mode with TWRP 2.7.0.0
4. Made “backup”, and copied it to PC
5. Made Wipe, Advanced Wipe
6. Flashing CloudyG2 3.3 from external USB OTG
7. After that got black Screen after LG logo
.....
8. Download D802_PATCH_GO_LP_V1.1_droidth.zip, and installed it from Recovery Mode by TWRP
9. Reboot system, now:
Phone cyclically restarts from the beginning and to LG logo, and so on….And I cant enter to the recovery mode. Cool. That can I do, instead throw in the trash?))
I assume you're following directions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61710456&postcount=1304
If so, I see a couple issues. You did not update TWRP to 2.8.7.1 as indicated, and why are you flashing from USB OTG always copy to your internal memory. You likely can get back to recovery, but it takes timing and patience. I've been in the same situation before. Just an FYI we call a cyclic restart a bootloop.
While it's doing the startup hold the power button until it powers off, it will restart again after. So here's the trick as soon as the screen shuts off you have to let go of the power button and immediately do the vol down power button combo, hold them both until recovery starts. If held too long it will reboot again. Like I said timing is everything, but you should be able to get it with patience. Good luck!
You did not use latest TWRP and you did not flash LP bootstack. Go to recovery, delete system, data, cache, flash latest TWRP, then flash LP bootstack, then Cloudy again
To enter recovery, press power+volume down, hold until you see LG logo, then FAST press power+vol down again, white screen will show up asking to factory reset. press power button, then press power button again. phone will enter recovery.

Is it correct?
1. Hold Power on Lg logo
2. When the screen shuts off:release power button and quickly push Volume+Power on the some period?
One time i seen screen with proposal of erase system, i pushed Yes...and now it rebooting again. And some time it was button hardware assignments screen.

1. How can i flash latest TWRP from the TWRP recovery menu, is it possible?
2. You mean flash Bootloader Changer 2.2, and choose Lollipop bootstack in it?
Thanks.

You can flash latest TWRP and LP bootstack in TWRP. They are both ZIP files so it will work. I would give you links but i'm not sure which G2 variant you have

thanks, but first of all - i can not enter to recovery mode, ordinary button combination do not work. As i wrote before.
If you really can't enter recovery you'll have to "KDZ".
Look over there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Find the appropriate rom.kdz, flash it with the tool.
If this worked, root stock LP, Autorec v2 it, enter recovery with key combination or if this fails with tools like "Quick Reboot" from play store.
DO NOT FORGET to wipe system, data, caches and to flash an appropriate stack, then flash rom, gapps and supersu. You can do this in one step.
If you want to shut down your phone, just press POWER for around 10s. Do not flash with battery under 50%.
You may find SRKTool useful.
Try entering download mode and flashing stock rom through KDZ or TOT method. There is a thread called "G2 go back to stock" in G2 General you will find all instructions there
tip: disconnect usb devices like usb wifi dongle, web camera and external hdd, they used to cause me problems when flashing KDZ
Hello there. My LG Optimus L7 was lagging to much with it's stock rom so I decided to flash a custom rom to it. So I rooted my phone, installed CWM, and then using Rom Manager app I rebooted to recovery mode, before that I was trying every combination I found on the internet about how to enter the recovery mode, but no success. Anyway, after rebooting into recovery I installed CM 10, but the phone got stocked into CM boot loop. Now I can't access recovery mode to reinstall the rom, or install a new one. I also tried emergency mode (holding the vol up then plugging the usb cable) , which didn't work either. How can I enter the recovery mode? Please help! Is there any way to access the recovery mode without the buttons combination in this state(when phone is soft bricked) ?

I cannot access recovery too! I have TWRP installed but i tried every combination on internet and till can't access it Do somebody know any combinations to get into it?
I remember that once upon a time I was able to enter the recovery. But only once. I pressed randomly all buttons and succeeded. More times have I failed
Maybe it is the newest recovery fault.
I have the same problem. solutions?
V10 - power and volume lower (-) after the lights turn on release power and volume buttons and press only home button
V20 - power, volume lower and home, when you feel a vibration release all the buttons
