Hello! I rooted via ioroot, and installed twrp today with the app called "freegee". But when I try to boot into the twrp recovery the lg logo just go through 2 times before the phone starts and boot up (the phone is working fine), but I can't access twrp! Can I just try to flash twrp in flashify and try that?
Btw I do have root, I have checked it
Any help is appreciated!

I tried all the hardware combinations suggested on the forum, but was unable to boot into TWRP (using CM11's advance reboot to get into recovery does work).
After LOTS of experimentation, I was able to get into TWRP using the hardware buttons by doing this:
Power Off entirely
Boot by pressing Power + Vol-Down
... wait for LG logo to come up, but dont let go of the buttons [this is where my attempt differed from the other instructions that suggested letting go of Power + Vol-Down and pressing it again]
LG logo will very quickly go away and the screen will be off again
THEN start it up by pressing Power + Vol-Up [normally Vol-Up is for download mode]
It will show the factory reset screen ... press the power button 3 times, and it will go into recovery
I don't know why the above method worked for me, or if this will work for you (or anyone else), but this is the only way I was able to get into recovery. In case it's relevant, I have an LS980 (Sprint).

how are you trying to boot into recovery? I myself can't get the button combination to work and use titanium backup or freegee to boot into recovery

Thanks! It worked now, I just couldn't find out how the button combination was then,..thanks to both of you :good:
One last question, when I take a nandroid, do I just backup my system, boot, and recovery to backup a working rom, or do I need to backup data too? Because my data is on 3,2 gb and I don't have space for that lol

You can also download TWRP manager and use the reboot option to boot into recovery. Don't have to try and time the hardware buttons.
so I was having some battery issues and wanted to reset. i for some reason went to settings reset instead of booting to twrp to reset. nonetheless it booted to twrp. I wanted an all the way clean data install so I hit format data and rebooted. now it just keeps booting into twrp. i restored a backup which sys successful but it still goes back to twrp. I can get into fastboot, recoveery. and download mode. I just cant boot into the system.. any help would be appreciated. with no kdz available I dont know what to do..
EDIT FIXED: so apparently you cannot boot to twrp to reset from the factory reset screen on the phone. once I booted to twrp manually and rebooted it started up. really weird.
having same issue with us996 now cant boot to system followed root instructions to factory reset now i cant boot to anything other than twrp whats the button combo and chould u provide detailed instructions please?

Press power and volume down at same time. When lg logo appears realeasw the power button for 1 sec and repress. Then when you get to the all white reset screen press yes and yes again on the next screen. This will get you back into twrp. You might need to reflash the recovery img(not sure, but I did). Restore your backup or whatever and then reboot system. Might have to format data within twrp prior to restore. Think I did that too.
pretty sure im screwed until a rom is released i tried what you said i chouldnt get a white screen to appear still went to twrp directly and it seems i accidently deleted my restore point >< can h918 flash on us996? even though its tmobile?
so i got it booting but it keeps rebooting after a getting to home screen a notification pops up and says android is upgrading when finished it reboots

For reasons I'll never understand, I ended up in this situation with my H918 after doing an accidental factory reset (tried entering TWRP but TWRP wasn't installed... oops!) and re-rooting. After installing TWRP 3.0.2-1, I was completely unable to boot to system. I tried reflashing various stock partitions and a custom ROM, relocked and unlocked the bootloader a few times, and wiped/formatted/reparitioned the crap out of the poor thing. In the end, the only thing that worked was to flash TWRP a second time. Go figure.
Thanks for being so thorough in describing what you tried on the road to success!
I keep getting sent to twrp. Not sure how to fix it. I can't boot android. Have tried reinstalling roms. nothing working.
when i use button combo to boot into twrp it go to twrp then starts to boot up phone and sits at lg logo after i tried restore a backup. even after factory reset it loads 100% but never boots up

since you're having this problem with TWRP , it means you've rooted the phone right?
asking cz i'm looking to get the LG V20 but don't know about the risk of it bootlooping itself, without rooting or anything like that, like it used
to happen on lg g4 and g3.
Thank you

You most likely don't need to go through all of those hoops in the link above.
Have you tried power on and volume down to go through the factory reset screens.
A bunch of us had this problem and it was because an update downloaded on it's own and the bootloader snoops it out and forces recovery to boot.
Just do the volume down + power button - as soon as you see the lg logo release power only then immediately re-press power and continue holding power and volume down until the factory reset screen pops up. Select yes and yes, (don't worry - if you have twrp recovery it can't reset). It will boot you into TWRP and I'm pretty sure it will delete the update files in fota folder.
In TWRP select reboot - system and it should boot normally like nothing happened.

I ran into this issue and did as you wrote to re-flash Lineage 14 and it WORKED! Took me hours to get to this post, but after some searching around i'm so relieved and so much less frustrated! Thank you for your input!
Hello, ive unlocked my bootloader on my h870 and ive flashed twrp. when ive just flashed it i was able to boot into twrp but now everytime i try to boot into it it wil wipe all my data with the stock lg recovery mode can someoneone please help me? Thanks! Just got the phone a few hours ago
You have to install a custom rom or root to make twrp permanent, if you don't do that it will install always after the first boot the stock recovery.

You need to reflash twrp with the bootloader like the first time.

When you have flashed twrp, you do the buton combination to enter twrp, if you fail to enter twrp a the phone boots into system the stock recovery will be reflashed so you have to reflash twrp.
Try making these:
When you are in the bootloader after flashing twrp press button down+ power button. When the screen turns off quickly stop pressing power button and quickly press again until the lg logo appear.
When the lg logo appear stop pressing power button, quickly press again and stop pressing the power button and press again quickly until you see twrp logo.
These method works for me for booting twrp easily
The stock recovery appears but you have to select the factory reset option and it will boot into TWRP

Unfortunately still not succeeded after trying all the solutions i've found here
Hey, i have the same Problem, my TWRP broke, i can't boot into recovery and my Device ist not listed in fastboot mode. Can someone help me out?
I get the ring in windows when i plugin but its not recognizing.. Can someone pls help me out?
Okay, I'm going to try to explain it, and see if I can succeed where others have not.
You install TWRP by booting to bootloader and using fastboot to push a new recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It seems like you accomplished that successfully. The next step is to immediately boot to recovery; do not boot the phone to system first. You will get the factory prompts for wiping data, but it will not actually wipe your data this time. Instead it will boot to TWRP.
Now, while you are in TWRP, you need to either root (flash Magisk) or install a custom ROM. If you do not, your next boot to system will remove TWRP and restore the stock recovery. If that happens, then the data-wiping prompts the next time you boot to recovery are real and the phone will wipe. So you MUST - must must must - root or install a custom ROM while you have TWRP up, in order for TWRP to persist.
If you have already experienced this problem, you need to start over at the beginning; flash TWRP again, and then follow the rest of these directions.
Maybe this will help clear up the problem for you guys.

Oh my god, i really really thanks for your reply, you're so fre*king good. U made my day.
Guys a little help
I only manage to see the TWRP welcome screen and the the phone automatically reboots to system
I can't get to see the TWRP menu at all!!
WTF is going on?
I have repeated the process many many times and always the same. What i am missing here?!?!?
me too when it boots in twrp only showing logo then it reboots in system what are wedoing wrong?
Got the same problem. I unlocked Bootloader, checked if unlocked (yes). After flashing TWRP i see the TeamWin Screen and phone boot again. There is no TeamWin Menu.
A try with an older TWRP-Version and flashing via fastboot with another PC does not work too.
Anybody an idea?
Did you guys manage to fix it?
Matt.

With 3.2.1.0, 3.2.2.0 and 3.2.3.0 it only briefly shows the TWRP screen and then boots into system anyway.
With 3.1.1.0 the key combination to boot into TWRP as with the other versions above simply doesn't work, again it directly boots into system without even showing the TWRP screen.
I'm stuck with a resetted phone because of this bull****, because some instructions said "oh, the reset dialog will not really reset your data..." - yeah thanks for nothing, buddy.
So what now?
EDIT: I got it working using TWRP 3.1.1.0, but the same version from the OFFICIAL site didn't work, as I described above.
The only 3.1.1.0 TWRP that works with my phone is the one from this Link: http://downloads.codefi.re/rashed/g6/
(which is linked ... somewhere here in the Forum, don't remember which thread)
Hey guys and gals, I decided to take my new PH-1 and root it after getting the latest OTA (this is an unlocked Sprint variant). I flashed the twrp for my build and there was an error, tried it again and the same error so I rebooted back into fastboot and it flashed but I didn't reboot into recovery. Flashed it again and booted into recovery but it was just a black screen as if the phone wasn't turned on. The closest I've gotten to recovery was the android laying down and it said "no command" but I forced a reboot at that point (I think I could have pressed up on the volume and pressed the power button to get to it from there but I haven't been able to get back to it).
I ended up flashing a modded boot image for root with Magisk 14.3 and that worked but I can't reboot my phone, it just goes to the blank screen like it isn't on and I can start it up again by holding the power button down for 15 sec. and it seems to function fine but I can't flash the OTA file to go back to complete stock or to go to the Oreo beta.
If anyone could give me some insight into this problem or a way of fixing it I would grateful, thank you.
Hello, guys.
I've a little problem... Earlier, i decided to download LineageOS 14.1 on my LG G6 H870. Everything worked perfectly, then, i decided to download the latest nightly update (OTA). It has been downloaded and installed on my phone, but now, my phone reboot only in recovery (TWRP) mode. Even if i format data, even if i flash another rom like Fulmics. It boots only in recovery mode (but i have access to fastboot mode, i don't know if it can help), and i don't know what to do...
If you have any idea... In all cases, thank your for your help.
Flash stock or fulmics will fix issue. This is due to the OTA update. LOS isn't really working to well on G6 yet.

Strangely, when i try to flash the Fulmics ROM, it doesn't resolve the issue...
I'll try with a stock ROM.
try flashing magisk too, helps patch boot
If you're stuck always rebooting into TWRP, the easiest fix is to force a reboot into TWRP (again) using the button combo. Hold Pwr + Vol down until you see the LG logo, release power for 2s (while holding vol down still) and hold both again until you're back in TWRP. After re-entering TWRP using the button combo, you'll be able to reboot to system as normal
Thanks for your help.
Actually, i've install (one more time) TWRP Recovery via the fastboot mode. And after that, i was able to reinstall LineageOS and to boot as normal.
But, if everytime i do an OTA update on LineageOS i get this issue...
Do you think that the solution is to put the update on the storage, and to flash it everytime an update is realeased ?
