Hey I am having a boot and boot recovery issue

.............

sirreal12 said:
I think I have a unique problem here. I tried to install the Holo Blur Rom using bootstrap. After I flashed it my bootup is looping and all attempts to get into Recovery mode are fail.
When I do the Power+Vol+ I get a screen with Android on it's back and the ! but nothing ever happens. I have also tried getting into the Bootstrap menu but that doesnt work either, it goes into boot up.
Do you think there is a way to save my phone still?
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Rooted
##EDIT##
I figured it out, I did not know you had to press Pwr+ Vol+ Vol- all at once. I thought it was just Pwr+ Vol+ only. Thanks!

With an unlocked bootloader, you should use CWM or Touch Recovery, nothing else as these custom roms need one or the other to install.

[Q] Please help - bricked?

I have been tearing my hair out for like six straight hours now... so first I started with completely stock 12B.
Here is what I did.
1) Root using ioroot method
2) Install TWRP using FreeGee (which I'm now reading caused this entire mess god damnit)
3) Go into TWRP and format data to get ready to flash stock rooted debloat
4) Accidentally format sdcard so I have to get my rom zip back onto my phone
5) adb push keeps failing because rom file is so big so i flash a smaller size AOSP rom which boots
6) MTP transfer my stock rom zip file to my phone
7) go back to TWRP, wipe everything again (except sdcard obviously) and flash the stock rom
8) stock rom hangs at boot logo for ~20 minutes so i force restart, try again three times
9) go back into TWRP, TWRP starts not flashing things and telling me I have a partition error
10) TWRP isn't working for me anymore so I try a revert back to stock (verizon .tot) method posted here using LG Flash Tool
11) Fails twice
12) Phone has no more TWRP and only download mode
My questions
1) Is this phone totally screwed because it is the replacement I just got for my old one and I can't even unroot it to get another replacement (using manufacturer warranty, no verizon warranty)
2) Is there a way to get back to clean slate stock or even flash anything (TWRP, etc.) with only download mode available
I cannot function without my phone and I am very stressed right now somebody please help
EDIT: tried doing reset to stock KDZ method and it passed but when i reboot the phone i'm still stuck with only download mode, no recovery, and nothing past the LG logo. still the same....
turn on phone, see LG logo, immediately see download mode. now at least the LG logo doesn't hang but now it's the download mode,.

1) Probably not
2) Yes, using the method you've attempted already. Make sure you validate your download and follow all the steps carefully in the guide.

I've repeated carefully with multiple downloads, but I deduce I have the following problems.
1) Partition error with TWRP caused by FreeGee and probably deleting my /sdcard/ partition or something idk
2) My attempts at returning to stock have removed TWRP in place of download mode for some reason so I can't do recovery
3) Something is wrong with download mode because it's not being effective in the .tot or .kdz return to stock methods
4) I don't even know what's going on anymore I'll sleep on it and come back tomorrow
thanks for the quick response. I think I'll just see if i can pin this on the replacement guys and get a replacement.

After you used the lg flash tool did you do a factory reset?

I can't do a factory reset because I can't get into TWRP / the page that says hit power three times to do a factory reset now leads to download mode instead of teamwin splash

Then the flash tool didn't take. I've used it three times now and after the flash says its successful, you take the USB out of the phone and use the hardware keys to factory reset.
Instead of going to twrp as it usually does, it actually does the factory reset. If you don't do that then it bootloops till you do. The flash tool doesn't remove everything to make it factory stock.

hitting the three power buttons leads to download, not TWRP like before. Also, using LG Flash Tool reults in "LAF Property setting failed"
thank you for your help

I doesn't seem like you're pressing the right button combo to get into the Factory hard reset menu.
Do this:
1) Power the phone off completely (press and hold the power button until the phone shuts off).
2) Press and hold the power and volume down buttons at the same time.
3) When the LG logo comes up on the screen, let go of the power and volume down buttons, then press the power and volume down buttons at the same time again until the Factory hard reset menu comes on the screen.
4) Once in the Factory hard reset menu, press the power button twice to factory reset the phone.
If you already knew this, then I apologize.

Yeah, when I do that I get the download mode "firmware update" screen. previously it would lead to TWRP, but now it leads to firmware update screen.
ty

New update: I finally got 11A .tot to flash, but booting it was really unstable, kept rebooting / blank screen of death like every time I tried to get in. Finally became slightly more stable when I took the SIM card out, used WiFi to download 12B update using OTA. Installed OTA and now it's hanging at the "Updating software 2/2" page at 35% (the page with the beautiful picture of the lush green grass and the blue sky). I'm just going to leave it for a night plugged into the wall and see where it goes, maybe it's frozen, maybe it's not.
Probably it is. In which case I'll probably have to force reboot and I'll wake up to a host of new problems.

45 minutes still no boot.

Wiped data cache AND dalvik, flashed to Malladus, installed GApps and LGApps at the same time. Been sitting at the android animation for at least 45 minutes all three times and still wont boot. I'm downloading stock image but was hoping someone had an experience similar and had an easy solution?

And now I offically think my phone is screwed. I cant boot into recovery, every time I try it wont enter and just reboots because I'm holding the power and volume down buttons. So far I don't think I can enter download mode either.

How to get into TWRP with hardware keys on G2
1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.

Thanks for replying. I've read how to get into the recovery menu many times. Something is wrong with my phone that prevents me from doing it. I'm assuming its hardware related. I was almost ready to give up yesterday when I found out that if I do the key combo while plugging it into USB, it enters the menu normally. At that point I was able to restore my backup and start again.
I think my phone has a fluke, but I've figured out a way around it.
For those who are using Malladus on Verizon, something was wrong with the radios in the set. I had to find a seperate KK baseband file for the VS980 and flash it over top of the ROM to get it to work. I'm not saying its the same results for everyone, but I tried every variant of his directions (just in case) and was unable to get LTE online. It was the seperate BB file later on that fixed it.

[SOLVED][Help] Installing stock recovery causing problems

Hi,
I'm very new to rooting and such and only followed guides a read forum posts to get to where I am now.
My phone is rooted with stock ROM and SU, the bootloader is unlocked but no S-OFF (don't think it's possible on the mini 2 yet anyway). The new OTA update last night installed when I got home and charged my phone, then the phone just shut off and every time I tried to boot it would go straight into TWRP without showing splash screen or bootloader (even when holding power and the volume down button). When it's in this state the touch screen doesn't work and the power button only locks the phone. Holding power + vol down in this state doesn't do anything.
I have to let the power drain completely to get the phone to boot back up but it immediately boots back into recovery and then I can use ADB to force the bootloader to appear, but when I flashed the stock recovery that I found in these boards, it messes up the screen and all it shows is static with some artifacts. I have to let the power drain again to get back into the bootloader, and from the bootloader I can get the android OS to boot but I'd like to fix this completely.
I guess I should also mention that even after flashing the stock recovery the phone will still boot back into TWRP after I let the power drain so I think that means that the stock recovery isn't taking?

The twrp problem you mentioned is known, hope it'll be fixed soon. Are you sure you typed the right command to flash stock recovery? Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you get stuck, the combination is power button and volume up, not volume down...

Unfortunately I was using the wrong ADB command, I was typing "fastboot boot recovery.img". This seems to have fixed the problem so far but I have yet to try rewriting TWRP back to the phone and I probably won't until theres a fix or unless I need to.
Thank you for your help.

I had the same problem. It happens when I reboot with my phone when charging.
You can reboot your phone by holding vol up+power button.

Rooted droid turbo (Verizon)

So I rooted my droid turbo around April and everything was fine then about 2 weeks ago my phone would go into sleep and the power button does not wake up the screen. Power is still going to the phone since I can feel the vibrate when I press the soft keys. Have to hold down the power button to restart and then sometimes boots up fast other times it takes about 20-30 mins. Finally did a full wipe internal and what not and when i flash roms the phone will respond and boots up fine then I hit the power button to put it in sleep mode and will happen again happens with 3 different roms all the same outcome. Think it might be hardware but when it is in recovery it responds to the power button just fine. I unlocked using sunshine and am using twrp 3.0.0. Any help will be appreciated

Try doing the following:
1. Flash a CM-based rom and the appropriate gapps and boot into it.
2. Go back to recovery, format data, wipe system and flash a 100% stock rom. Do not flash any modifications.
3. Boot into the stock rom and get past the setup screen. You should get a notification that says it needs to revert Motorola sensor firmware to a previous version or something like that.
4. Tell it to do that and wait for the phone to reboot (it might take a few minutes)

The recovery should not be an issue, but there's a newer version of TWRP:
[RECOVERY][OFFICIAL TWRP 3.0.2-0][For all Quark][Moto Maxx/Turbo and Droid Turbo]

I actually have done that already but i did do a full wipe including internal storage and everything was fine but it just happened again and right before it happened i was running pokemon go and i believe thats my culprit. Pretty lame but im sure of it anybody else experience this?

so unfortunately it happened again where the screen falls asleep and the device will not wake up until I reboot the device. actually had to do a full wipe again and flash another rom to it to actually go pass the bootloading screen. I did not install pokemon go that time.
