Okay, so time for the ultimate idiocy.
I think I may have perma-bricked my brand new phone.
Yes, I had backups, but in a state of panic I wiped those on accident like the biggest dumbass alive.
My steps were as follows.
1. unlocked the bootloader
2. downgraded to 10p
3. installed twrp first into download and then into recovery
4. rooted via flashing supersu first
5. remembered this phone had nfc and decided android pay was rad and I didnt want it blocked
6. looked into magisk
7. unrooted supersu (full unroot including stock boot img), rooted magisk
8. everything was absolutely fine until an application (official twrp app thing) requested root access
9. phone crashed completely, stuck on LG splash screen
at this point I could still access twrp via download mode, but not recovery (the button combo didnt work.)
10. wiped dalvik and cache, nothing
11. full wipe, nothing
12. tried installing a couple different ROMs, still stuck on LG splash
I think here's where I ****ed up the worst. in my attempt to get back to stock I reflashed the laf thing so I could flash a kdz via LGUP.
Uppercut no longer found my device, though, so that eliminated that as an option. Biggest problem is download mode was my ONLY way into TWRP. So now I can't access recovery, download mode doesn't work, and I can't boot so I can get into adb.
Oh and not even the charging screen comes up, by the way.
Is it even possible to save this damned paperweight now?? :crying::crying::crying:

Tried several times, this time I'm attempting reflashing but using a different USB port to see what happens.
Edit: Did not work. I feel as though download mode might be broken? And LGUP doesn't recognize my device either.

A number of ways..
1. Vol Down + Power til LG Logo, let go, press again
2. Vol Down + Power til LG Logo, let go
3. Vol Down + Power til the "bricked point" (LG Logo dims slightly like it does before moving to next screen, but stays on splash)

I finally got it to work (I think), but it seems it didn't truly flash twrp like I had tried to do, I'm at "factory data reset" should I try this anyways?
(I had tried flashing twrp to recovery via the download-accessed version of twrp. I didn't know how else to do it that would respond - using anything adb/fastboot didn't pick up my device.)

Didn't work, ended up timing out. However, I did find a small ray of hope. After erasing via factory reset, I discovered that LGUP no longer said there was no handset connected. It did give me the following errors, though.
1. When using a modded version of LGUP: Could not load the model
2. When using uppercut: DLL for H91810p is invalid
3. When using regular LGUP: No handset.
BUT. I managed to get into it anyways by removing the modded version and then trying Uppercut... and now I'm gonna flash that ****in' kdz… fingers crossed..

I cannot figure out how to boot into recovery from phone off state. If I go to ROM Toolbox pro and reboot that way into recovery, then it works fine, but NOT from phone off state. Thanks.
Press/hold vol down + press/hold power will get you to the bootloader, then select recovery from there.

Hey the same thing is happening to me as I am using my Nexus 5. Can you please show me how to do what you did to find this. I cannot boot into recovery. When I try installing TWRP from GooManager it just says it will download but it never does and then after a while the app shuts down. I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom Manager and it downloads all the way and than says that a problem occured. Can somebody please help me with my situation. When I press the power button and the volume down button and it brings me to the bootloader and i navigate to recovery, it just brings an android guy with a red triangle. please help me. I just want a custom recovery. I don't care what it is. Either TWRP or clockwork mod.

My phone is now in a boot loop because of my attempted flash. Please help me fix this. I am able to boot into both firmware update mode and factory reset mode. For the factory reset mode I am able to boot into the reset mode but as soon as I try to wipe it just reboots again. I have tried to use the lg firmware update tool using com5 and com41 and using both they stop at 49% and the phone just disconnects from the program/computer. Help Please! !

For stock recovery, yes you'll see that screen. On that screen all you have to do is press power button and then press volume up (just one quick press) and it will take you into recovery menu.

Hi, I've tried to install Android 4.1.2 on my LG E610 L5. The rom I chose was 20d + root + cwm. It worked just fine, but I've accidentally let it update itself, not knowing you should do that on rooted devices. Not whenever I turn on the phone it shows me cwm recovery menu. Rebooting doesn't work and I can't get into stock recovery mode. I've tried hard reset, clearing cash and data, flashing another rom, nothing works. Is there anything I can do other than giving it to service and paying for getting it fixed? Cwm version is 6.0.2.8, I can link to specific download link if that made a difference.

I'd try that, but KDZ won't detect my phone. I can't boot up the system and there's no download mode in cwm. Is there any way to flash stock recovery using cwm?
I basically need anything that would make my phone show up and be detected by kdz. May be rom or different recovery.

okay first of all you need to go to google and find the right driver for your phone
next take the battery out of your phone and then plug it in to your computer while holding the volume up buttons
next go to your computers drivers via ( Start->right click on computer and go to properties->then go to hardware then drivers-> look for something called modem and if your phone is under it then disable it)
next open the KDZ updtaer
install that mx thing
then open KDZ updater set it to 3GQCT and EMERGENCY
then select your KDZ updater
launch update
it may say errors but let it finish.
Phone's display shows LG logo. Left for an hour, nothing happened. If I try to do KDZ update, it says "PHONE WAS NOT FOUND! "

How can I get into fastboot mode? None of the "press volume button and power for 30 seconds" methods work. @edit From what I've read, LG L5 doesn't have fastboot. Damn it.
Did you tried to remove the battery and enter emergency mode ?

OK, so that's really interesting. I've connected the phone to the PC, uninstalled drivers and let Windows Update install it's own. Doing so, instead of being stuck on LG logo, I was now in fastboot mode, despite being said LG L5 doesn't have fastboot. Anyways, I've flashed stock recovery.img I've found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37363473&postcount=1023. Using Vol- and power button I put it in download mode and managed to install clean soft from official LG website with KDZ. I'm not really sure how it worked, but it did.

Ok every one iv posted a simulare problem a month ago, when you use kdz, and it flashes stock, if after the flashing it stays in a boot loop all you need to do is leave the phone on boot with the lg logo for 10 mins.
After that unplug your phone, put the battery back in.
Now all you need to do is a factory reset, press and hold Vol down + menu, press power after the phone vibritas let go of the power button and keep holdind Vol down + menu for 10 seconds.
The phone will factory reset and boot up normaly.
This works on all versions of L3/L5/L7

I had no idea what I was doing back then, so I haven't tried a simple solution, but you can try flashing a ROM. The fact you boot straight into recovery is a sign of no/corrupt system, so flashing a different one may fix it. Pick one from Original Development and follow the instructions.
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?

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).

I cant get mine to boot into recovery only fastboot... Any help?
Do as duquesa says and press the volume down button and power.
Hey guys,
Can anyone help me please. I had my phone rooted on 5.1.1, then I downloaded and updated it to Marshmallow with the official oneplus software. I also chose not to overwrite the recovery when I flashed it with TWRP. However, now the phone doesn't allow me to enter any recovery (stock or twrp). I have downloaded the toolbox and reflashed the recovery, also tried flashing the stock recovery but nothing is working. When attempting to boot into recovery through bootladder, absolutely nothing happens and it just stays stuck on that screen. If I attempt the manual method, then it stays stuck on the 1+ loading screen.
Thanks in advance.

Try the "mega unbrick oneplus2" it will save your device, just google it and you will find an easy tutorial.
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.

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.

since you're having this problem with TWRP , it means you've rooted the phone right?

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.

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.

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!
