Constant LG logo on boot - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I don't know what happened, I've been using Cloudy with Dori since August, and had no problems. A few minutes ago I installed some HTC apps from XDA (didn't install as system apps), they worked great, I decided to reboot, and boom.. LG logo appears, after a sec it disappears, then reappears, etc etc.. what did I do wrong? Should I just dirty flash Cloudy again? Honestly I don't think it's a ROM issue, as the phone never goes to the bootanimation, it stucks at the bootloader screen, but as I didn't do any system modifications recently, I don't know why. Thanks for any help.

try dirty flashing cloudy again..

Press n hold PWR button until it completey shuts off your device.
Press PWR + Vol. Down till you see LG logo,let go both button for a sec n repress the same button again. Will get you to Factory reset, Hit Yes > Yes > Yes, don't worry it won't wipe your device n boot you back into recovery.
Either you can wiped everything start back fresh or try wiping dalvic/cache n reboot, If device behaves the same then go with Full Wipe n reinstall ROM again.

Thank you, fortunately the phone could boot up after I left it for a few mins, no problems since that.

boot loop and not working recovery

i had a cyanogenmod for few months and this morning suddenly after i turn off my alarm clock the phone rebooted, and he now stuck in a boot loop of the cyanogenmod logo(blue circle), i tried to enter to recovery mode(power+vol down) and it shows me android with an ! logo and nothing else
i tried to flash with rsd 5.7 to stock and it still stuck on the boot logo(motorola logo) and still can't enter recovery mode
i tried to flash also to root sbf(BL7 if it matters) and the same thing
don't know what to do else, any help?
i have defy+
another problem that i have now that because i tried so many solutions that the battery is over and i cannot charge him(question mark on battery logo when i try to charge)
any help?
edit:i did the mcgyver solution to the battery, worked and i get to the bootloader with battery ok status, but still try every sbf and it stuck on "reboot your phone manually" on the rsd and when i get the battery out and put back in it just continue to loop =\

I've had that happen several times. Sometimes clearing Cache works. Most of the times you have to wipe /data partition with Custom Recovery. Now, after flashing with RSD you must go into Stock Recovery, and wipe /data with Stock Recovery. That will get your phone to boot up.
That "android with an ! logo" is the Stock Recovery. If you were on CM you would have had 2init installed, so to go to the Bootmenu/Custom Recovery, you have to press the VOL - button when the blue light turns on, not before, or else you might go to Stock Recovery.
When I flash with RSD, I always wait for the phone to reboot, and right when it reboots, I press the VOL + button so that it goes back into Bootloader, that way in RSD it shows the "Pass" message right away.

i tried to press vol - when the blue light turns on but still i get to the "android with an ! logo" (if i was not mention it, on this screen i don't have any text at all, just the logo with out any options)
so i cannot clear cache or wipe any thing =\
edit: when i need to see the blue light? because i get only red(to a second when i turn on) and white when it connected mcgyver style

Well, it seems like you've never used the Stock Recovery before. When you get to that screen you need to press both Volume + and - so that it shows the options.
With some stock SBFs I think you have to press the bottom left or right corners of the touchscreen for it to show the options, don't remember which side it is, and sometimes it's hard to hit the right spot, but it's there alright. Try with both volume keys first.
If you do manage to get it to show the options, do a Factory Reset, which wipes Data for you. Although, if you just flashed a stock ROM with RSD, there should be no blue light, just so you know.

defy stuck on boot loop
Mines doing this boot loop after running great for about 5 months. Seems I'll be able to get it back using methods detailed here. But is there a way I can keep my sms's bearing in mind I've not performed a back up for the last 5 months?
Anyone?
Does the advanced backup utility backup my sms data, so that i can do a wipe data factory reset?

Not sure what to do

I traded my GS4 for a G2. It was already rooted running CleanROM w/TWRP. I wanted to try out another ROM so I dld AEON rom and gave it a go. I did a reset/wipe in TWRP but I DID NOT manually wipe. After the flash the phone shows the "LG" splash screen and goes dim and the LED flashes blue to green. I am able to boot into the reset screen. Once in there I was told to press power 3 times to enter TWRP. As soon as I do that it goes into TWRP and starts a hard reset which fails and reboots. Please help!!
Is there a way to enter recovery without starting a hard reset?
Volume down and power from power off state until lg screen then release keys for 1 second and both same again u get warning for reset, power button twice fir next to warnings and it will take u to twrp, yes all u need is factory reset in twrp for new roms in lg twosome people had issues booting up first time try flashing again.

[Q] Please help! Stuck at LG Splash screen on boot

I am rooted and had PhilZ recovery installed on the vs980. I wiped data, cache, and davlik to install a new rom, but the install failed. After the install failed I realized I had deleted my backups I had. When I went to reboot the phone said it could not find root and would attempt to root on its own or something of that matter. I am now stuck on the lg spash screen with the led blinking green/blue. I cannot boot into recovery or download mode by holding the volume+power buttons the phone just vibrates and turns off for a sec then right back to the lg screen. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
Yeah try booting into recovery but a little differently this time.. Turn the phone off, hold power and volume down to turn it on but keep holding it until it shuts off again. Then press power and volume down again until the LG logo appears. Release and press them again quickly like normal. This has worked for me in the past when I couldn't boot into recovery. Idk why but it did.. Give it a try

I bricked my phone trying to flash Malladus (LG Bootloop) ... the flash tool isn't wo

So I don't know why this happened, I had rooted and installed TWRP and was happy, so I tried to install Malladus (1.2.9) and gapps and the 24a upgrade .zip, and now here I am.
I've tried most methods, and the LG Flash tool just says "failed PreviousLoad()" when I click the yellow arrow.
I f'd this phone up 12 hours after I got it.
If you see the LG boot logo than there is still a chance to fix the phone. Try to manually go back into recovery. Turn off the phone by long pressing power button. As soon as the screen is black, press power and volume down together, you only get a half second to do it. When LG logo appears release and press them together again until the factory reset screen comes up. Then press power 2 or 3 times and you should go back into your recovery. Once there you can try to reinstall rom, backup or side load a new rom. Hope this helps!
What is your phone model? Without that I cannot help you.
Same problem
Hi guys, like an idiot I was successfully able to install the debloat 4.4.2 on my vzw LG G2 but I tried to flash nandroid recovery back to my 4.2 and now I am stuck on boot loop and cannot get back into recovery. I tried to hard button by pressing both the bottom button and power, and press it again when the lg logo comes on and after pressing the power button a few times, it just goes into a black screen, so I cannot get back into recovery in this manner. Anyone know how I can get back into recovery without going through the full wipe back to factory?

Am I screwed?

I just followed this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594
I got root installed TWRP- I did everything, and then I went to flash a ROM and during the setup (AROMA setup)
It just froze I never finished, it it just froze when selecting an option the ROM in question is (WETA 5.0.7 [16th.Jun]
Now what else was there to do.. i waited for a bit and it still was just frozen.
Before I even flashed the ROM I backed up my device.
When I went to reboot. Thinking everything is gonna be fine.
Its now stuck on the LG (Life's Good) screen.
I can't get into TWRP, nor the bootloader...
The only thing I got to was a screen that showed me my IMEI number and another number apart form that I haven't had any success.
Am I doing something wrong? Please help?! Thanks in advance.
1. pull the battery
2. Hold power and volume down
until the lg logo appears
3. Immediately when the lg logo
appears release and repress
the power key
4. You will see a factory reset
screen use the volume keys to
scroll to yes and press power
to select another screen will
appear select yes and hit
power again there may be a
third screen I don't remember
but if there is just hit yes again
5. This does not factory reset it
accesses recovery which in
your case is TWRP so in a
minute you will see the TWRP
logo once you're there restore
your backup or reflash the
ROM.
