My phone randomly rebooted today and now i'm stuck in a bootloop. not took a backup in ages and I have quite a bit of data that I don't wanna lose. is there any possible way to fix this? I believe a dirty flash should at least allow me to get back into the system and let me back stuff up but I'm not sure which custom firmware i'm on its been that long. is there any possible way to find this out from bootloader or recovery mode?

You cannot read out which rom you have from recovery or bootloader. Is your bootloader locked? Do you have twrp? Which device?
You can try to power off your phone by pressing the power button for 2 minutes and then start it. Also powering off and charging it to 100% can help.
Hello, I made a wipe cache in TWRP and then restart by pressing the volume up until the system starts
Good luck to you

so this morning I tried to install xposed on PacMan 4.3. I installed it and it said to do a soft reboot.
after the soft reboot i am now stuck on the PacMan boot graphic.
I can't get into recovery any which way.
I have tried the power down to get into recovery and it just reboots.
I am now in download mode connected to my computer but want to know what to do get back into the ROM and if its possible to do a nandroid so I don't lose my texts/phone logs/app data.
You may be forced to go back to stock and start from scratch. If recovery isn't working then you can't really do much to fix the issue. What's the model?

anyway to get into recovery via abd to backup info?
also why would xposed mess with recovery?
Getting into recovery will leave you with what options since your bootlooping? Wiping for a fresh install or trying to reboot for a another vicious cycle? Either way your going to lose texts app data and phone logs. Unless you have a backup your hiding from me? Lol
To get into recover
Try holding volume down + power*
Immediately when LG appears let go of both and ONLY hold onto power, should boot into option to factory reset*
Hit power button 3 times to continue, then itll load into recovery
Sent from my LG-VS980 using xda app-developers app
I got stuck in a bootloop last week as well and had to do a factory reset (on my Moto X). Good reminder to move my backups to my computer...
There was just an update (2.4.1) to the Xposed installer that says it "Fixed a bootloop which mainly occured on some x86 ROMs," so hopefully that fixes it.
woke up and it was sitting in recovery, so i rebooted a few times to only end up in the recovery screen. i then wiped the cache and system and rebooted,and when TWRP asked if i wanted to root, i swiped right(never seen that screen before). but this time im stuck at the LG logo with no options for recovery/reset/etc.
when i plug it into my PC, device manager sees it as "LGE Android phone". HELP PLEASE! thanks.
bump?
Were you rooted running stock or a custom rom at the time this happened? Try to long press power for 15 seconds to shut the phone down, then use the hard keys to enter recovery. Is TWRP still availabe or no?

Well you were clearly rooted if you were running a custom rom. Since you were in TWRP following the mishap, it should still be there. You sure you're going about that correctly? You need to press and hold power for 15 seconds to power off. Then use whatever button combo is necessary for your variant, there are some differences. Then accept the factory reset option to enter TWRP.
My guess, and it's only a guess...is that your phone, being close enough to stock, applied an OTA without your knowing or even choosing to accept it which landed you in a recovery reboot loop. That's a known side effect on a G2 with stock + custom recovery. But since you were on a custom rom and you said you wiped system, it's no mystery that you don't have a booting phone. You need to get back into TWRP, adb push a rom to /sdcard and flash it. Unless of course you have a working nand backup in which case you can restore that and save yourself some time and effort.

If using hard keys it can vary slighly by variant. adb reboot recovery should do it though.
huh, took apart the phone to try the linux fix(didnt end up working), put it back together, and now the download mode works. not sure if i was just being stupid in the past or what, but HURRAY! thanks so much
Dear all.
My phone is US996 Unlocked, no USC variant model.
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.
Anyone, Can you help me?
I need stock recovery image or full firmware(KDZ).
Thanks.

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.

Thanks for your reply.
But, I didn't solve the problem. I tried your method, but is's no changed. bootloop to TWRP recovery.
I can't use my phone.
Solved . Thanks to all member
Dear all.
I solved the problem.
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.
A couple days ago, my volume buttons were not working so I thought a quick restart would fix it. But when I restarted it, it went into bootloader. Its stuck on the 'Restart bootloader' option and I can't select it with my power button nor can I select other options with my volume keys. I try and hold down the power button and it restarts into bootloader again. I booted into recovery and tried to restore it with a nandroid I made that had everything stock but that didn't work. I also did a factory reset, but every time I try to boot into system it goes to bootloader instead. The only problem I can think of was that I held my phone when my hands were wet so maybe water went inside? I'm tempted to get rice to get the water out but I want to be certain that this is the result of water damage. If it helps, I had TWRP and a very early version of Lineage OS on the device before it happened.

Hi... How did you manage to boot into recovery without the volume rocker?
Have you tried a simple:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
From bootloader?
Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, try loading a factory image from Google if none of the above work.

I used 'fastboot boot recovery.img' to get to recovery. I tried to format the cache and userdata again, but still didn't normally boot. I also tried flashing the stock images from Google's website but still it won't boot.

I never seen this before. If you type fastboot reboot, it reboots directly into bootloader, right? I first thought avout the bootloop issue many currently report. But if you can boot a recovery.img or if your phone only reboot into bootloader, I think this scenario can be excluded.
Hmm you said you touched you phone with your hand wet?!
Could it be the moisture that oxidized the volume down contact inside of the phone? I don't have another idea. Wait for other people to chime in. Hopefully it's another (easy to solve) issue which I am unaware of.
Good luck.

Did factory image flash without error?
Last try: did you try pressing power button till it reboots?
Good luck...

No error came up when I flashed it and holding power button at bootloader restarts the phone back into bootloader. I might just stick it into some rice and use my old Nexus for now unless another solution presents itself.

Hi. In order to get the attention of @TheGentleShark you should either reply directly to one of his posts, or put an ampersand in front of his name so he gets a notification. Otherwise he will never know (or see) your question. Hopefully he has some useful feedback for you.

Sorry for late reply, but I did manage to get if fixed. I sent it back to my phone company to get fixed since it was still under warranty (even though its rooted with unlocked bootloader). Though, they didn't really tell me what went wrong. I assumed it was a hardware problem (a piece of rice was stuck in the speaker hole and was impossible to remove but was gone when I got the phone back).
So, pretty much what the title says...I got the prompt to update to Oreo. Clicked install and left it. It does whatever it needs to do and after 2 hours of leaving it there it was just stuck on the boot screen. Tried to boot into recovery and no luck, it just remains on boot screen. I can access fastboot mode though.
Because the boot loader is locked, I can't install a custom recovery or anything. I tried everything I could in my own power before resorting to here. Any suggestions?
Did you hold the power button down until your phone completely powered off? I'm assuming you did. What you described isn't supposed to happen on a dual partition phone. If an update goes bad the phone is supposed to recover by booting from the other partition. If powering the phone down completely and then turning it back on doesn't allow you to boot I would honestly go straight to Essential Support since you didn't mod your phone or unlock the bootloader. I dealt with support via email and if nothing else they are definitely very responsive. They answer emails so promptly it was almost like being in a chat.
