[Q] Can't Boot/ NO STOCK RECOVERY option for LG-D802? (D80220b-HKG-XX) Any ideas??

Recently i have updated the phone from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 by LG PC suite and OTA upgrade. During 4.2.2 i am able to boot into stock recovery by pressing power + vol down button, but after upgrade my phone was unable to boot into custom recovery nor hard reset. The LG logo just appear and disappears (Like how you force shutdown a phone).
My phone is unrooted and no custom recovery has been flashed. (I was a little worried for flashing custom recovery and start rooting since i cant boot into stock recovery in D80220b-HKG-XX
Does anyone experiencing this or is recovery accessible only after custom recovery has flashed?
Thanks.

Hi, There's many, MANY threads talking about NOT upgrading with OTA, instead install custom recovery and flash thru recovery stock KK with SuperSU.
I (and many) don't trust OTA for the same reason, sometimes something goes wrong and you have no custom recovery and no Rom. If you don't have experience rooting, unlocking, so on ,,, your best bet is go to your cell company and tell them you took OTA and your phone broke, they should be able to give you a new one since you don't have ROOT or Custom Recovery.
Hope this helps

So in order for me to get rooted kk with custom recovery, i have to revert back to jellybean in G2 and flash custom recovery +root stock kitkat?
I wonder why does manufacturer made things harder...
Sincere thank you for the answer, Have a nice day!

NP, yes just go back to JB ->root -> TWRP -> flash stock KK -> flash SuperSU 2.x ->profit
If you want TWRP in KK just intall AutoREC.

The reset process is changed since 20b (i think I'm not wrong!?)
1. hold power + volume down until you see the lg logo --- release shortly (just release and after releasing 2.)
2. hold volume up + volume down instead of volume down + power

Wow It works! But it booted me to hard reset mode, is there anyway to boot into recovery mode? Or am i only able to boot into recovery once i flashed custom recovery like TWRP?
Thanks a bunch sir!

once you flash TWRP via autorec it will take you back to twrp (the old combination)
For now you can't boot to recovery(you might try "adb reboot recovery" - it might factory reset if this is your fresh installed kdz

Absolutely correct and these type of answers are incredibly HARD to come by since most of the youtube vids + google search results are methods prior to the 20b update.
For the users out there with the latest update, they will have a hard time searching for the right combination. With the latest update, pushing down button + power key again and holding it will only result in the phone powering off.
For the ultimate method, use ADB reboot recovery via PC to access stock recovery.
(If you have rooted your G2 before via IOROOT method, you would have noticed the existence of the G2's stock recovery menu when this command was executed by IOROOT during the root process.)
*Be Aware* Holding the Vol Up + Vol Down key will bring up the Factory Hard Reset. You only enter YES if you're confident you have TWRP custom recovery installed, it will not perform a hard reset but instead load up TWRP immediately. This is the only way to enter TWRP through the phone. But if you had stock recovery it will erase everything in your phone! (incl. camera photos and vids)
I've heard something about bricking the phone if custom recovery was installed and OTA update was performed. With the imminent Lollipop official release, most users need to be aware of this or refresh their minds readily to avoid themselves another round of headache...
Boy these LG phones are complicated to mod as compared to the Nexi or the Galaxies....

How do I boot into recovery from a bootloop?

I flashed a wrong file in twrp and my phone went into a bootloop. I want to boot into recovery to reflash the ROM but I can't do it, the phone is stuck into a continuous bootloop (stuck at the Samsung logo and vibrating over and over again). I can boot into download mode using vol down + power + home, but vol up for recovery isn't working.

1. Boot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the correct TWRP via ODIN again. Done.
2. If the step 1 doesn't work. Boot in DOWNLOAD MODE, reflash STOCK rom and reflash the TWRP, the one good for your device. Done.

Secret mode wasn't working in the Samsung browser so I flashed a zip that I found on xda that supposedly fixes this issue and cleared the cache and dalvik cache. I don't see how this could have erased twrp from my device. I currently don't have acces to a computer so I can't use Odin, is there really no way to force shutdown it or something?

Enter download mode, once you are in download mode press at the same time power + home + volume down button. As soon as the screen goes black release the volume down button and press the volume up button immediately, then it will boot up to TWRP

Phone with No OS

So the problem starts like this. I rooted my lenovo A6000, flashed it with TWRP (latest version). To flash it with custom Rom i used to go to recovery mode with an app called flashify. the custom Rom was unstable so i wiped it and tried to flash it with other custom ROM. This Rom was corrupted and now i can't boot my phone neither i can go to recovery mode to flash back to stock rom. Please I need Help!!!!

@Samridh Srivastava
Man just pull out the battery.
Put it back in.
Press VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER KEY and release the POWER KEY once you see the boot logo.
Your phone will boot into TWRP.
Then you can flash any ROM you want.

Thank you very much, you saved me buddy. Worked for me

Elaborate the steps you do.

1.unlocked bootloader
2. downloaded TWRP and RedWolf recovery
3.Followed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-x-t3787134
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...t/recovery-red-wolf-recovery-project-t3787402
4.when I try to boot to recovery it boots only into stock recovery or shows me black screen.
5.What should I do to sukcessfully flash custom recovery?

Here's a simple fix....
Reboot to bootloader...
Open adb
Type
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip(whatever your file is named)
Then long press pow button turn off..
Now press and hold power button and vol down....leave power button when screen lights up but keep holding vol down for a few more second..
It should boot into twrp now

which variant did you try? firmware version ?
b coz , after update firmware version above 318 twrp doesn't work.
so, we 'll wait for another development of twrp:

thanx for the reply i replaced the old phone as it was not booting at all after i tried to revert back to .247 . but then the new phone i got was already on .318 so same twrp not installing issue someone said something like twr(pie) worked for them but i cant find anything like that. can u help me with that. thanx in advance.

Enter fastboot mode,flash twrp recovery,then go to recovery by pressing volume down and power button.if it boots OS then it will be replaced by stock recovery.so if you can't boot to recovery first time(BEFORE BOOTING OS) ,repeat the same process.

Any update on this , I tries installing TWRP version twrp-3.2.3-0-X00T-20180902.img but its the default recovery That I am getting.

Hi guys.
I'm lost!
Wonder if anyone could help a newbe like myself!
So:
I havae unlocked the bootloader, flashed with newest twrp recovery img.
Then?? I cannot boot into twrp for some reason!
I wonder if there is only a specific release of twrp that my phone allows, or can I get whichever??
And also.... Once it's done and I try to long press the volume up + power button, it doesn't seem to get me anywhere.
What am I missing??
All the tutorials and the thread I read make perfect sense...but then I fail miserably!
Please help!
Thanks!!!

Nobody?? Please help!! ??
Guys?!
