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.

As it says on the title, I have just rooted went fine then I just installed ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X went to go in to recovery powering on and holding the Vol down button and a scrren comes up saying
S/W UPGRADE
PLEASE WAIT WHILE UPGRADING....
then nothing happens tried it a couple of time with no joy, having to remove battery to restart, and also it wiped my phone back to stock all my apps etc gone wifi setting etc but the root/superuser is still there
Any idea people????
That is the baseband upgrade screen. You should HOLD power and volume down button!
If that doesn't work are you sure CWM is installed correctly?

I had this exact same problem as well. It led me to be very confused for a good half hour lol. Simple answer is we weren't booting into recovery properly.
1. Turn the phone off.
2. Hold the volume down button and do not let go.
3. Hold the power button and do not let go.
4. Wait and wait and wait.
5. Should see a small piece of text saying "Android" come up after about 10 seconds-ish.
6. As soon as you see this text let go of the power and volume down buttons.
7. You should now be in recovery.
Hope this helped
Edit: Also I don't think the .bat file used to install CWM recovery gives any confirmation after it's done.

Yeah well i ran the CWM again a couple of times then tried again and it worked great thanks every 1
I just think im impatient as going into CWM on the desire a little bit quicker
Once again THANKS
Had the same problem at first too.
Desire is not as "slow" as the 2X when booting to recovery.
Got myself a factory reset the first time I tried...
Yup exactly, the O2X seems to take much longer than other phones to boot into recovery. I used to have a HTC Hero and it literally took a press of two buttons and then wait a few seconds. Strange...
I finally found solution! Bootloader on my phone isn't nearly same as usual one, no white screen, just a few lines which designate modes. 4 are present:
-normal boot
-fastboot
-recovery
-UART boot
I accessed it by pressing and holding power button and volume up button at the same time during device boot.
I hope someone with a same problem will find this helpful!
I managed to boot to system but I still can't get in bootloader. No combos and neither adb works.
I got my HTC One from second hand several days ago and I instantly noticed that something wasn't right. System was naked, no bloatware, no usual settings, no proper identification so I decided to install custom rom. I tried to boot to bootloader which I wanted to unlock(I guessed it's locked 'cause recovery is stock) with key combos, adb but it simply didn't boot to bootloader nor it rebooted or sometimes it went to factory mode which is on chinese. Again, I tried to find which version of phone I own but I can't figure it out. Moreover, I downloaded and put stock rom on virtual sd card and booted to recovery, opened menu with power button and selected to install package from zip just like it's said in thread but it outputted 'Install /sdcard...' and nothing else for past couple hours. Recovery isn't frozen, It shows\hides menu when power button is pressed. I tried to force shut down it by holding only\in combination with power button\volume buttons but nothing happens. I don't know what else to do...
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: It eventually discharged but when I turn it on with charger in it I get blinking white screen on every 3 seconds and when long pressing power button phone just vibrates. In combination with volume down it keeps blinking on every 3 secs and with volume up on every 5 seconds. To me, it looks like it's trying to boot but bootloader can't find anything installed. Computer is recognizing usb device on the moments when I connect it with usb just like when device is rebooting.

You have a fake phone
I agree, you've probably got a counterfeit One, but you can't flash custom roms from stock recovery anyway.
Firstly, thank you for any answer. How do you mean 'fake'?! I got it in original box and IMEI's are same(on box and device) What can I do with it then?
I tried to flash stock rom designed for stock recovery, at least that's how I understood.
MIDN07100 (Europe, a guy from which I got device claimed that it's from England so this should fit)
IMEI:354436053103493(same on device and on box, checked with IMEI checker it appears as valid HTC One device)
Hopefully you all don't sigh or roll your eyes at my questions, I came from iOS 2 weeks ago and the Android learning curve is pretty damn steep!
Many guides I read says to enter recovery mode by turning the phone off, then holding volume down and power buttons until the screen flashes and you should enter right into recovery, especially guides to flash a rom. I installed TWRP last week and the way I enter it is hit restart with phone powered on and as the phone begins to restart hold volume down only, then I enter it.
When I hold power and volume down when the phone is shut off, I get the HTC boot image as the phone is rebooting and then a message saying something along the lines of the phone will reboot and it counts down 3,2,1 then the phone reboots a second time and not into recovery. Plus my wallpaper gets removed. I rebooted but the wallpaper was still removed.
Two questions; Is this some sort of faulty installation of my recovery? Which way should I boot into recovery when about to wipe and flash a rom? Thanks a million!
twrp quicker reboot...

way i do it is i unlock the screen hold power down to get the power options screen then i select reboot i wait for the screen to go blank then i hold the power and volume down it will load into bootloader then i just hit whatever boot loader has the recovery on it (twrp 2.5... had a problem wouldnt do system boot just take me back to recovery so i had to do to bootloader then restart from there) then you will hit recovery i would do a factory wipe but dont have it delete anything else just do a normal factory wipe and maybe delete cache and your problem should be fixed unless there is an issue with your rom you are using then if it bugs you that much find a different one.
another not when the system reboots i think you can just hit volume down dont have to hold power also but im so aggrivated with my current issue i just hold power also to make sure it goes thew.

*Update*
Ok so after trying again to enter bootloader from power off holding volume down and power button, the same thing happened where I got the 3 second countdown but I continued to hold the buttons and I correctly entered into bootloader. So my question then stands, when flashing a new rom does it matter which method I use? (Reboot, volume down or Power on, volume down/power)
Thanks

Hi,
I just received a phone of a friend that hit the floor a little bit too fast. Now it is cracked and there is just a black screen but the phone can still be turned on. As I don't want it to go to waste, it's still partially working and someone can probably make it whole again, I want to sell it. But for this I need the private data to be erased.
So a factory reset is my goal, but for some reason it doesn't work out. I tried the following (which I found somewhere around here but I can't find the thread right now):
1. Get into recovery
2. Press 3 times volume down + power
3. Press 7 times volume down + power
4. Wait for two minutes
5. Press power again
This should erase the data and reboot the phone. I tried it several times but for some reason it doesn't reboot and when I turn it on again it shows my friends user name.
After that I rooted the phone and installed TWRP which worked perfectly fine. But I think I made a mistake there as TWRP is touch only, isn't it? Do I need to download the stock rom and try the factory reset again or is there any other way I can go from here?

I don't enter in the fastboot mode. The phone is blocking in mode FFBM and I can't touch de bottoms on display
Press & hold Vol+ and Vol- - now press (and hold) Power until phone vibrates. Release power key.
If there is a new screen, release Vol keys,
Select ENGLISH and shutdown.
Now restart phone

Nope. I have the same situation and am stuck with the test mode screen when attempt to boot the system. Recovery works fine. Tried the hold both volume buttons and plug into PC, and now have tried this. Always the same screen, nothing about selecting English, just the option to access the Options Menu. Selecting Fastboot takes me to menu where Ican select Recovery, Startup, AND "Boot to FFBM". Have wiped all but internal SD, and "Repaired" System, Persist, Cache. Have tried installing an official ROM and Lineage ROM. No combinations of these have fixed the problem.
Problem started when I was updating the official ROM and decided to try out the FFBM boot option. BIG mistake.
Now am stuck with a system that will no longer boot.

UPDATE: TWRP 3.0.3-0 saved my ass. It permits selection of booting into EDL (9008) mode, bypassed all the PC based commands that weren't working, and I reloaded Zuk factory ROM again. Got past the test mode screen finally. Discovered that I don't care for the original ROM at all, too many Google things I'm accustomed to (Like Google Play store) missing. Added a few things back in, but wasn't worth the trouble. It took me about 15 minutes to refla sh it using TWRP with the latest nightly version of the Mokee ROM for this device (Android 7.1.2) and it works GREAT. Lineage wasn't ready yet.
The only hold over from all my initial problems is that upon boot it acts of if I'm doing the up Vol button action. It goes to the screen where I can press a Vol button and go into the boot loader or just wait 5 seconds for it to carry on booting normally. I don't know how to correct this, but not really a problem.
