LG G6 H871 unrooted
I just can't get into fastboot or recovery mode. I've tried everything on the internet.
I've tried turning off the phone. Holding down the volume down button and then plugging in the USB cable.
I've tried adb command "adb reboot bootloader" which just reboots the phone until I can see the "enter your PIN" screen
The closest I got to the recovery mode was using "adb reboot recovery" which gave me the "no command" screen.
Any tips on this?
Have you enabled OEM Unlock option under Developer settings?
Yes. "Enable OEM unlock" and "USB debugging" enabled.
both oem unlock is on and usb debugging on and my computer has accepted the fingerprint from teh device to shake with adb. . still cant get into fastboot mode.what to do.
Is your phone rooted? If so use flashify to reflash recovery. You do know that if you want to boot in recover you have to let the power key go and repress it once your screen goes on right?
You can also try phone off. Holding volume up while you insert usb cable. Might be a tool that allows a command to be send to reboot it in fastboot mode? If not downgrade its firmware..

If I understand correctly, when you got to the No Command" screen, you were actually in Recovery. From my experience, the No Command screen is like a "greeting", if you will. Once you see that screen, you need to fiddle with the power & volume buttons. I believe the correct combination is to press and hold the power button. Then press and release the volume up button but continue to hold power button. If that is not the correct sequence you will need to Google for the correct order. Reference.
Considering that you are not rooted, there is not much you can do in the stock recovery.
EDIT 2 - Realized that this thread is over a year old and the OP has probably moved on. Didn't realize another member revived it. Sorry.

I have Moto G4 Plus and its power button broke. Now the battery is dead and I am not able to switch it on even with a pointed object. I searched the net and found a way to enter recovery mode. I pressed the Volume down button and immediately plugged in the charger. Now I managed to enter the recovery mode but still, I need the power button to switch it on.
I found another way, but still, it did not work. I installed ADB Fastboot and opened the command window. I remember that I had even tried to root my phone so USB debugging was enabled. But this ADB command window does not detect the phone, even on typing "adb devices". How do Switch on the phone?

I tried with both (vol -) and (vol +) and it went into bootloader.
Try it, Then use command: fastboot reboot
( add "m" if you use mfastboot)
keep vol- pressed then plug an usb cable. leave the vol- in bootloader mode.
then just press power button to start
Hey guys. I just got LG G6 H870 model. Unlocked bootloader without much problems, but issues came later. While being in bootloader I can't do anything, hardware buttons seem to not work. The only way to get out of bootloader is to use "fastboot reboot" command, but that prevents me from getting into custom recovery after flashing it. Only entering download mode works (holding volume up and plugin in usb cable). Non other key combination work until I boot into system.
Can this issue be somehow resolved?
I had similar problem myself with entering recovery more and the reason behind it was that I didn't press the button combo in proper way. what you actually have to do is while you in fastboot mode you press down and hold power button and volume down button. phone reboots after a moment and you should still be holding these keys and when lg logo appears you let go of power button for brief second and then press it back again and then when a prompt on white screen appears just go yes two times and phone shall boot in recovery mode . I had watch a tutorial movie to figure that out. other easy way is just to have adb enabled and reboot it with adb reboot recovery command via USB cable

No, because I had G5 and I know the proper way to do that. Problem is I can hold the power button as long as I live and the phone won't reboot, regardless of pressed combination or power button solo.
and the adb command way ?
Well... Nevermind, turns out vol down button isn't working at all.
still good way around is adb reboot recovery
was trying to root my lg stylo 2 Walmart family mobile(t-mobile) and i unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp but it just says no command when i boot into recovery.
Then you didn't flash the recovery properly, it's fairly simple. If you're able to get fastboot (shut off the phone totally, hold Volume Down and plug in the USB cable attached to a computer, it should go into fastboot mode almost instantly, if not then there's an issue someplace).
After that using fastboot with the recovery img file for TWRP:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (recovery_file).img
Wait, if it says flashing successful then before you do anything else, type the following:
Code:
fastboot reboot (but do NOT press Enter yet)
Get the phone in your hand, still connected to the USB cable, and get your fingers on the Volume Down + Power button but don't put them just yet. Carefully tap the Enter key with a pinky or something to trigger the device reboot, press and hold Volume Down + Power till you see the LG logo, let Power go for a split second (still holding Volume Down) then press Power again and hold it till TWRP loads.
If that doesn't work - and I've done that hundreds of times - there's something going on with your device, perhaps the bootloader isn't truly unlocked - that checkbox in Developer Options doesn't mean it's unlocked, it just means it can be.

Hello,
wondering if anyone else has seen this. I turn on the phone into recovery mode, select "reboot to bootloader", hit power button, but it just reboots into normal mode. It won't do engineering mode either. I power off, then press volume down + power buttons, it boots into Factory Test Mode, which is useless. I give it commands over ADB from my computer, using a command line, or using that ADBTools GUI, the phone responds correctly to commands like "adb shell" and "adb devices", but will not boot into bootloader mode. No response to "fastboot devices". I tried every way known to man, but no bootloader mode, no way to root.
i found the software/files by Zachary Pidgeon, but they're not available anymore.
can't think of any other ways to do it.
I currently own an LG G6 AS993, and seeing as there is not going to be an OTA Pie update for the phone, I thought I'd go ahead and get a ROM instead. There's just one problem, and that is that I can't even get into the bootloader to unlock it.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Using ADB commands, adb reboot bootloader, adb reboot-bootloader, fastboot boot bootloader
The phone was recognized in adb devices, however, after entering these commands, the phone just booted normally back into android, like a normal restart.
2. Using the volume and power buttons. I held the volume up button and plugged in a cable that was connected to my PC, and it booted into 'Download Mode' and then proceeded to a "Firmware Update' screen. After pressing down the power button it brings me to another screen with the options to view some wifi details, 'Power Off', 'Phone Info', and 'Back', which brings you back to the "Firmware Update' screen.
I also tried the same but this time while holding down the volume down button, and it shows the phone booting for 2 seconds, and then turns off and proceeds to show the battery symbol with the amount of charge.
These are the only ways of getting into the bootloader I've seen for this phone, and they simply do not work, so if anybody could help that would be very much appreciated!
