[Q] Question-How do I boot into recovery?

So I installed TWRP on my vzw G2 and I don't know the button combo to boot back into it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I too would like to know

You can use GooManager to reboot into recovery. But I don't know how to do it when the phone is off.

From another thread:
For TWRP press and hold the power and volume down button. When the LG logo pops up let go for a second and press the combo again. You'll be prompted to press the power button 3 times to wipe the device. Then It'll boot into TWRP without wiping.

That'd be it!
P.S.
It works! All you need is a little bit of practice.

You can also use an app called Rebooter. Works well.

When entering recovery with hardware keys I have read people having problem with twrp installed. Is it completly safe now?

It works if you are on the latest version.

LG G2 Bricked HELP!!

Guys I think i bricked my phone.
I installed Chainfire 3D and didnt read that it wouldnt work on jellybean( my bad). So I then go into the factory reset menu and try a factory reset and now I am stuck on a black screen. I am new to android and don't know what to do. I can't get back into the factory restore menu now as all that happens is the lg logo appears then the screen goes black. The notification light is flashing permanently.

How about getting into download mode (volume up while plugging in usb, when off) and do a full restore? Guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

By download mode do you mean holding the power button and volume down button as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUwi4YZWbyk ? If you do then I cant anymore. If you don't any info on how to get into download mode would be great, also I don't have a backup

Exactly... just follow the great guide from other post. You don't need a backup, just make sure you download all the files needed

Sorry just read your post properly and tried download mode but it didn't work as I cant turn of my phone completely. The light is always on and the phone feels warm to the touch.

Ok... tried holding the power button for +10 secs? Should power off or restart then, so you can get into dl mode

Thanks for the reply, everytime I do this it just restarts the phone. The screen goes to the LG splash screen then goes black but doesn't turn off and the notification light stays on.

LG G2 stuck at "Fastboot Mode started udc_started()"

Hi everyone. A friend of mine has got a problem with his G2:
I have an LG G2 D802 with rayglob flex 3.5 custom rom. Yesterday I tried to install a custom kernel (dorminax 2.1):
1) I downloaded the kernel for lg g2 802
2) entered in twrp recovery
3) Instal - Flash of kernel 2.1
4) after a few seconds a "Succesfull" message appeared
5) I rebooted
6) phone got stuck with: Fastboot Mode started
udc_started()
at the top left corner

He said that he can't enter the recovery anymore by pressing volume down + power, it doesn't work.
Have you guys any tips? He'd like to recover his data as well...

I guess u installed the wrong version of Dorimanx, download the correct version

How to flash it if the device doesn't boot even in recovery?

It'll boot into recovery, just hold and press power and vol down key and reboot.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'll tell him to keep trying, maybe i'ts just a timing issue. Thanks.

So, the suggestion is... boot into recovery, then...? Wipe everything and restore the backup (if there's one)?

Well he can push the correct kernel via adb and flash it

He's not too used to this kinda things (me neither). How can this be done?

It's easy, well Google it, u will find videos explaining the same

there is a thread to make your phone "back to stock", then you will be fine.

Thanks everyone! He successfully entered into recovery (just wrong timing I guess) and flashed the right kernel (located on an usb pen drive attached with otg cable).
He thank you very much.

My phone has done the same thing an when I hit the buttons to go to recovery mode, recovery mode just flashes up an it goes back to the fastboot screen again

I was having the same issue... Until I noticed that it was the power cable that was messing with my attempts to enter recovery!
So here I leave my tip! Do the power button combination without any connection! :good:

Were you able to successfully get in recovery mode? I try to combo multiple times and it still goes straight to fastboot mode

Can you enter download mode? If not you should also use fastboot to flash your partitions.

is your problem solved yet?

I have just flashed the wrong kernel due to my carelessness and complacency and managed to fix this issue thanks to this thread!
Make sure no power cables are plugged in as it will interfere the process to boot into recovery mode.
Hold power button down until the phone is completely off, keep holding it there for another 10 seconds.
Hold volume down and power button together now until LG screen comes out. let go of power button only
If all goes well you should see TWRP recovery and thank TWRP team for their great work!

There's a Dorimanx app in the store so this doesn't happen.

flashed the right kernel (located on an usb pen drive attached with otg cable) sorry how to do it ? any link ? thanks

LG G2 bricked

I made a mistake some wheres while formatting the phone in recovery mode. I used Advanced format instead of Factory Reset. So, now when I reboot the phone it's gets stuck at the LG logo screen and the led flashes different colors. I can't get back into recovery mode (hold both volume keys and power then let go and then do the same thing). How can I fix my phone? I can get into Download Mode though. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I have a Rogers LG G2.

To boot into recovery hold power and volume down button. Not both volume buttons... once the splash screen appears let them go and immediately hold them again... then at the factory reset screen hit power 3 times and you should enter your recovery.

If you've wiped your virtual sd in the advanced wipe menu you're a little more screwed and will have to side load a Rom...

awesome, 1 step closer! Now is there a way to get my rom transfered to the internal storage? ADB can't seem to see my phone.

Is there any ways of transfering a rom to the phone while in recovery mode?

So, in recovery mode. WIndows will detect my phone as "g2" in device manager but it has a exclamation mark. What drivers would i need for this? Can anyone help?

1. please visit this site " http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver "
2. Install it.
3. Go to Device Manager on the LG D802 search for the folder where you install the universal drivers.
4. This will make your LG to be recognize as Samsung (who cares as long as it works).
4a. Go to the SDK folder > Platform-tool ( https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk , for the SDK )
4b. Copy and paste the ROM zip that you want to flash (in this case mine will be CM)
5. Hold Shift and right click the mouse when you are still on the platform-tool folder , Run the command prompt.
6. In the Command Prompt
6a. enter adb devices ( this will now recognized your phone in recovery mode )
6b. enter adb sideload xxx.zip
7. NOW YOUR PHONE IS BACK ON TRACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I get in to recovery

I flashed a Rom with no root and Adb is broken on this Rom. How do I get in to recovery without either of those?

Did you figure it out?

Turn off the phone. Hold the volume down button and plug the phone via USB should reboot into fastboot. Then just use the fastboot command to reboot into recovery.

Tried, but I dont think there is a command to do that from FB

You could try to just download Terminal Emulator and type 'reboot recovery'. You shouldn't need root for that command. But then again, this thread is almost a month old - I would hope he had found a solution by now.

fastboot reboot recovery

I downloaded quick reboot from the playstore that works for me

TWRP manager from the app store works as well.

Power the phone off (pull battery if necessary)
Hold power button and volume down key until you see LG logo, release and then press the power button (DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME DOWN KEY)
This should bring you to the factory reset menu. Select yes for both questions (use volume keys to toggle and power to select)
If you installed TWRP correctly it will boot to recovery...
If TWRP is gone, it will factory reset and you can get into your phone.
