As the title says, I cannot get my LG G6 to boot into twrp. Whenever I do the button combination to get into it, I get the screen prompting me to do a factory reset or whatever and when it's done it boots straight back into the OS and the second time I do it, it asks me the same thing but this time it displays the TWRP screen for a few seconds and reboots into a factory reset OS. Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks.

What model you running? If it's the h872 t-mobile I'd look for your answer in the root thread for that particular device. It's being worked on. If you go there and have that model look for posts with my name. I went through it myself. There are others who had different outcomes using different methods. Mine are related to rooted 20a for that model.

So I have a Verizon LG G2. Today I wanted to try out the CM 10.2 nightly, so I download it and factory reset my phone via TWRP, followed by installing the CM10.2 nightly rom along with the gapps. Apparently something fails in the process, and now when I try to boot my phone, I see a fastboot mode log. I can no longer enter recovery mode, and I can no longer enter download mode. Attempting recovery mode will cause my phone to reboot. Attempting to enter download mode puts my phone in a Firmware Update screen where the progress bar stays locked at 0%.
I've tried downloading every LG application and flashing the stock .kdz files but it fails in each application for some reason or other (no clear error message).
What are some steps I can take to proceed in trying to fix my phone?
Hello,
Turn OFF your phone.
Start it by pressing vol- + power
When LG logo appear release both and re-press both.
You will have a white screen that say factory reset.
Press power and one more time power.
Recovery will start.

I tried this but after I confirm the factory reset, my screen just goes blank. When I reboot my phone later, I'm back at where I started earlier: at the fastboot mode started log.

Try going back to stock rom. But in able to enter in recovery mode without rebooting. First, you need to press volume - + and power button, when the phone turns off, quickly press again the volume UP key and plug the cable in. You need to be very fast because it will reboot fast.

Have you tried a recovery using LG support tool?
http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGD802
I've used this as rescue before
I've tried every way to enter recovery mode. It just leads to another reboot. And I know I'm doing this very very quickly, and its still not working. And I've also tried to use the LG support tool. It recognizes my phone as up to date. When I try to run upgrade recovery, it'll download a 2GB file and when it is supposedly copying it to the phone, nothing happens. and the progress bar finishes in like 8 seconds (way too fast to actually transfer 2GB). Then it says complete, when in reality nothing on my phone changed.

To turn your phone off, Hold the power button for 10 seconds, it will turn off and then reboot but continue to hold the button until it shuts off a second time. After that just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

I followed this but it says Device Model is Different. Check Phone or DLL. I'm using all of the files provided from that page.
Here's what I see:
Model: D802.
BIN: VS98010B_13.TOT
SWV: VS98011A_01
SWOV: VS98011A_01
Device Model is different!
Check Phone or DLL!
I think the part that surprises me is the model. D802 is the code for the UK LG G2. Does my phone think it's a UK LG G2? I was trying to install the CM10.2 ROM for the D802 when this happened.

Didn't you say you had the Verizon model? If so, the model is vs980, not d802.

I do have the Verizon model. There's an ugly Verizon logo on the front corner and on the back. I don't know why it says d802 for model. Is there any way I can have this returned to Verizon/LG to get it fixed if I've rooted it?
Well that's probably the problem, the Verizon and international models are different. You should never flash a ROM not meant for your phone.

Yeah, I clicked the wrong link, but it shouldn't prevent me from going into recovery mode to reflash a new rom.

Does your computer see it? Because if so you could try fastboot or adb to flash a new vs980 recovery. Otherwise, if you've done a good enough job bricking it that Verizon can't get it to boot to the screen that says that its rooted they'll probably blame it on faulty hardware and issue a replacement. (But keep in mind that that's fraud.) They may also be able to recover it in store. My friend managed to brick his Optimus G on sprint last year and they plugged it into some machine and unbricked it within 20 minutes.

Hey all, completely new to this forum and my Oneplus Two that I've had for a little over two weeks.
I recently got a OTA update for Oxygen 2.2.0 but I can't seem to install it. Everytime I download it and click the "install" option, the phone reboots (probably to go to recovery) but after a very brief splash screen and a vibration, it vibrates again and displays the standard boot splash screen, boots into the OS and offers me to download the update again.
I've done a little troubleshooting in the past two-three days and from what I understand, the phone doesn't seem to be able to boot into recovery or fastboot. I've enabled the advanced options in the "reboot" menu and when selecting "recovery" the phone reboots and does the same behavior described above. I tried powering off the phone and booting with the volume up button pressed (while pressing power) and the phone boots and displays a "Fastboot Mode" splash screen but it seems to hang there forever until I actually shut it off again and power it back on. Also, I've tried booting it into recovery from ADB, connected to my PC and I get the same behavior: brief splash screen with a vibrate and then the phone seems to reboot again normally.
I haven't tampered with the phone yet, it is brand new out of the box, not rooted and nothing other than simply installing a few games, Nova Launcher, changing the wallpaper and using it as you would normally use your phone.
Anyone has an idea how I could actually get the Recovery functioning on this phone?
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help!

That is the norm for fastboot, it doesn't go past that screen.
It may not make a difference, did you try to boot to recovery via Power+Volume Down buttons?
Greetings Khaos64,
Yes, I've tried booting with Vol-Down+Power but the phone does not start.
With volume-up+power, I get the Fastboot splash screen but the phone does not respond to any input.
I tried selecting "bootloader" from the reboot menu but I get the same thing: Reboots and after a second, the phone reboots again normaly and into OxygenOS.
Is there a way to verify if the bootloader or recovery is corrupt and maybe reflash the stock recovery onto the phone?
Thanks for your input!
You may just want to go straight to oneplus support since everything is stock and only 2 weeks they should be able to get you updated or replace it.
If you'd like to be more hands on... maybe something below can help.
So your phone isn't recognized/no commands acceptred from your computer when booted to fastboot?
Such as unlocking your bootloader and booting into twrp... "fastboot boot yourfilename.img" or maybe flashing it.
Make sure OEM unlocking is selected in Developer options.
If you can't do that then this may not work but is worth a shot.

I did try to contact Oneplus for support but I am not the one who purchased the phone. Long story short, it was a gift from my girlfriend that she bought off of someone. The phone was new in box and was a warranty replacement. I would have to contact the seller and go trough him for support unfortunately.
Thanks for the different suggestions!, I will fiddle around with it this afternoon while the kids are having their mid-day nap and I'll get back with the results
Thanks again for the help, it's greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I eventually started fiddling around with fasboot and tried unlocking the bootloader. This sent the phone into a bootloop where it would try to boot into recovery and reboot right away.
I found an article on how to restore the phone to Oxygen 2.1.1. It would wipe user data but I did it anyway and it actually did restore the phone and now I have a worling recovery.
Here is a link to the guide I used:

My phone has bootloop to recovery. My phone can't boot to system OS.
I tried flash boot.img and wipe data partition, I can't solve my problem.

I was in a similar position to where it would just always boot into recovery forever. I tried doing several restores from stock and other backups. Different ROMs and even went through dirtysanta again. Nothing worked.
What wound up working was me getting into the device's factory restore screen (not TWRP's). I believe you get there by turning on the device while holding the Vol down + power button, when the LG screen comes up - let go of the power button for like 1-2 seconds and then press/hold it again. It should be a white screen that's asking if you want to do the factory screen or not. Just do that. It did its thing - then went to the LG screen again. I was a bit impatient and only waited like 2 mins. It didn't go anywhere (you could probably wait longer or so) but I just simply took out the battery and then put it back in.
It did wind up booting to the system again after awhile.
Just letting you know what I did after I messed up with a certain thing in a hidden menu.

But, I didn't solve the problem. I tried your method, but is's no changed. bootloop to TWRP recovery.

Dear all.

I tried flash system.img and boot.img use fastboot flash command.
and re-flash de-odex system use TWRP again, wipe data and cache.
It's rebooted to system OS.
Thanks.
After installing Lineage for att (h910) and flashing gapps, which didnt work, I'm stuck and getting a bootloop into twrp. So, twrp is easily accessible. The actual operating system is failing to load.
Considering going tinto the bootloader and running step3 fastboot flash boot boot2.img from the dirtysanta root files.
My thinking is this might give me another shot at a boot image that works.
Any ideas to help? I have a Skype interview tomorrow afternoon and I need this fixed asap.

If is TWRP loop then .... there are countless threads here with the same question and an answer for it. First, flash a rom (any rom compatible with your variant) then completely power off the device. Then go into recovery mode by doing the appropiated gesture (which means leave pressed volume down an power button until the lg logo shows, right whent he lg logo shows , quickly remove your finger from the power button and press and hold it once again (do not remove your finger from the volume down at any moment) Then you will see the white screen where you have to press yes in both. and then you will be out of the loop. ) If you didnt understand my guide, follow this: http://www.recovery-mode.com/android/lg-v20.html . :good: This should take you out of the TWRP loop.
Thanks for the reply, but heres the thing: the LG logo doesnt show. It goes right into the izarre red triangles thing. Then goes to the white factory reset choices. I tap yes twice and the it gives me the LG logo. Several times I've held the button combo down after the logo appears but it ignores it and goes right to twrp.

But wait.... are you explicitly turning off the device? Like off off? (remove the battery if you must). ? if not then you will be booted into twrp. Now, if that doesnt work... hmm kdz would be the ideal , if and only if you had a kdz file. Now, i see that there is a kdz file but it is for the h910pr and not h910. ... Sorry. Hope someone else can help :good:
h910pr kdz
I flashed the h910pr kdz to recover from a severe brick. worked a charm. it has a claro boot logo and i occasionally receive a notification in Spanish but it saved my butt. i have seen a report of someone doing it and their cellular service not working, but i did not have this issue. if the h910pr rom could be rooted id say its a safe kdz to fix bricked phones with. once its on the h910 it could be rooted and used to reinstall twrp and then reinstall the proper firmware.
So long story short I tried to return to stock from fulmics.
There are no good guides to even follow so I'm trying to piece together info from lots of different locations.
It seemed as easy as booting into download mode and using LG Bridge to revert everything to stock. I tried that and got stuck in a boot loop.
I then tried the same thing with uppercut and I'm stuck in the same boot loop.
I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to be doing now. Does anyone have any advice?

Have you already tried to do an hard reset? Since refurbish flash on lgup doesn't work in this case a reset is usually needed in order to correctly boot the system

I think I've only managed to do a soft reset (power + vol down). Trouble is I'm now stuck in the loop of:
- Bootloader unlocked screen
- LG splash screen
- Boot up noise
- LG screen with animation (like it's loading)
Then it just repeats itself. I'm not sure what else I can do other than run the battery flat as I cannot even turn it off.
EDIT: I think I'm just an idiot. I was using the wrong button combos. Feel free to delete this thread it booted up as I was typing this. *facepalm*

Thanks for the replies anyway, it's been a long day haha :highfive:
how do you fix this issue?
i face this problem too as my lg g6 stuck in boot screen and i even cannot turn it off
using combo power + vol down button cannot help. it just keep restart and stuck on boot screen
Edit: Nevermind, i find the solution by connecting g6 to pc paralel with vol up button press when restarting the phone (before lg logo appear)
