So here's my issue:
A few hours ago I decided that I wouldn't exchange my just traded Gnex at Sprint, and decided it was already time to unlock bl, root, and all that good stuff. So once I got around to that, as soon as I finished rooting, CWM gave me an option right before rebooting to remain persistent, or something like that, but knowing that I would install TWRP in a few minutes, I pressed no.
So I went on, installed TWRP through the goo.im app, waited about an hour doing junk on my phone, rebooted it for whatever reason, and went back to the goo.im app and pressed to reboot into recovery. When it did, I got the android with an exposed chest and a red triangle on it, which I assumed was TWRP not installing correctly. So I rebooted back into android, reinstalled TWRP, and this time went straight into recovery, and it worked. From here on in, I had already downloaded AOKP MR1-B6, and corresponding gapps, so went ahead and flashed that after wiping and all the normal stuff.
Now I'm here, I've been stuck at the Nexus "X" logo for a few minutes, did a battery pull, still nothing, and tried to go into recovery, and the phone will not go into recovery. Assuming I'm doing it correctly, I push the on button and vol up at the same time, and release power when the Google logo appears, and should release the vol up when recovery pops up, except I get the Nexus "X" instead.
This is a toroplus btw. Any help would be great lol.
You need to press the power button and BOTH volume up and down to get into recovery. Three buttons

No, yeah, I understood that, I was just dumbfounded cause I swore I read everywhere that it was Vol Up and power, and Vol Down and power is ODIN so yeah.

I cannot find where the button combination is to reboot the phone into recovery for TWRP.

When phone is completely turned off. Press and hold Vol Up + Power, this will get you into fastboot. Once here, press down twice, then press power.
You will now be in TWRP

I tried that for about 15 mins, and it didn't work. I then tried pressing down 3X instead of 2, and that got me into TWRP recovery. Just to make sure, I got out of recovery and rebooted. Once it started bootlooping again, I tried 2X, didn't work. Went through the procedure but down 3X again, all is well. Using version 2.5.0.0.

It should be 2x, only thing I can think of is if you are pressing the dwn button fast and it's not registering one of them. I know I have done that in the past.

You have to hold both volume up and down while powering up
Then when you get to fastboot press volume down twice and power

Holding both volumes in is for getting you into download mode, if you are looking to get into recovery from power off it's Vol Up + Power > Vol
Down 2x > Power.
I am currently looping at the LG loading screen. When I hold down up + power it doesn't put me into recovery mode. After a few moments it just turns the phone off. Anyone have any idea of what I can do now??
Volume up and power to fastboot screen, then volume down twice then power

Try holding volume down and power. If it takes you to stock (aosp style) recovery then you need to unlock with freegee
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4
AFschizoid I can't thank you enough for all the help you have been. I think I really did it this time though. Neither up or down brings me anywhere. The phone turns on, shows the LG logo and then after a bit the screen goes off. This happens if I do up, down, or both.
Hold the power button for LITERALLY like 2 minutes straight to let any residual power drain out after turning off. Then go ahead and hold vol down first and then press and hold power at the same time. If that doesn't bring you to stock recovery, repeat the power off then try with vol up. If that doesn't work, again, turn off and hold power button for a couple minutes to discharge then hold both volume buttons and plug in to your computer to see if download mode comes up

Thank you AFschizoid, trying it now. Will post results when im done.

Yup.....I really F-ed up this time. Tried it all three ways and no change... The odd thing is that I have had my ROM for two days and have been able to get into recovery before. I haven't made any changes. Lost signal earlier today and rebooted my phone to see if it would fix it, now it wont even start.
[EDIT] I think I know what did it. I tried to recover using FreeGee earlier when we were discussing the EFS. It failed but it probably messed up my unlock
So you can't even get download mode? Jeez. I don't know then lol

Think Sprint would fall for the new ZVC update bricked my phone?
Yeah if there was a bad flash of the SBL stack then you're sol. Download mode is in the SBL stack so if that didn't flash right then it's probably hard bricked

Thank you very much AFschizoid you have been a godsend!
Well... i found this in the teenybins thread... try it
For most soft bricks you will see a LG or Google logo and then a black screen. You can also still get into download mode. If you think download mode may not even work, connect phone to a Windows computer and check device manager... if the phone is detected in a "QHSUSB-DLOAD" then there's a good chance you're perm bricked. Otherwise.. you may just be a n00b and aren't doing download mode correctly.
Well the phone is detected but it just shows as a USB Composite Device. So if it is not hard bricked then maybe it just wont actually shut off. Maybe the screen is just blacking out and when I try the power button again it wakes it up. I can't imagine that I am holding the vol down and power button incorrectly. Only so many ways to do it Thank you for the find!
Are you leaving it plugged in when trying to turn it off? Because that won't work, it will keep booting into 'charge mode' so Unplug it, and retry everything

As the title says, I accidentally deleted my OS, and I can't access Recovery or Download mode. Any help?
So when you turn on the phone you just get a blank screen? When you hook it up to the computer with a USB cable what does it do? You might want to do some reading in my L900 unbrick thread (that no one has tested yet...grrr). You'll also need a Linux Live CD if you don't have a Linux machine. I've been waiting to test this out on an official L900 hard brick.

When I turn it on, it gets stuck at the Samsung screen.
You should still be able to access recovery by power off the device. Hold home button, volume down and power until it goes into recovery.

Let me know if you got your phone up and running, I don't think it is bricked. Could possibly help using Odin 3.07 with a .tar file of current ROM...4.1.2 or earlier.
Sorry just re read your post. So you ARE NOT able to get into stock/custom recovery by pressing (and holding) volume UP first, then Home button then Power? Or download mode by pressing (and holding) volume DOWN, then Home and Power? These have to be pressed and held in that order.

according to many sites, by pushing volume down and power simultaneously until logo let go for one second and repush same buttons again until the factory reset screen.
THAT IS GREAT. but for the life of me and after trying 2 and half trillion times, i am coming zero for 2 and half trillion times.
can someone tell me EXACTLY the proper sequence. it is exhausting not to succeed at something that apparently is so simple.
thanks guys

Try this (bit different ): Push Power + Volume down, when LG Logo appears release power button only for 1 sec but keep holding Volume down, then push power button again. Keep holding those 2 until you enter recovery(Hopefully).
tried
i tried exactly 20 times, pressing 2 buttons, releasing power then pressing it right after logo pops.
nothing doing less than 3 seconds after releasing, the led starts flashing at the begining of the load program and that's when i start crying

Can you turn on the device and enter your OS? If so and you just want to enter recovery, you can download an app that can make you boot into recovery like Quick Boot ( Reboot ) . You need to be rooted though. Sorry can't come up with anything else.
reason why i am asking
your idea is good, but i want to upgrade to android 5.0. = what happens is once you upgrade there is not a single app that lets boot into recovery that does not require root.
so i download the app, but since my android upgrade has erased the previous root, in urder to flash the superuser file app i must do it FROM RECOVERY
if i found an app that lets go into restore WITHOUT ROOT that would be fantastic. but i don't know of any,
if you do, please pass it along, that's all i need.
thanks, sincerelyh

If you want to upgrade to Official LG Stock Lollipop you can use LG Flash Tool 2014 and the Right KDZ for F400S, that way it will probably fix your "broken" Recovery. You don't have to enter Recovery for it, you have to enter Download mode ( Turn off device, connect usb to Computer then plug usb to G3 while pressing Volume UP button ).

did you find a remedy ? or can somebody else help?
whats proper way to enter recovery on LG G3 Korean F400S
If the OP is doing the right hardware key combination, and not getting recovery mode, is recovery (stock recovery) missing from his phone altogether? Is that a possible thing?
I for the life of me cannot find the steps on the internet for this but I did find them and entered recovery once before.
The steps for entering recovery for the F400 variants is DIFFERENT than the typical G3's out there.
I found a site that listed 3 different hardware key combinations and can't freaking remember what they were!!!!

Hold power and the volume up button or some **** like that.
When you see "No Command"....hold Power + Volume for a few seconds and let go. And it immediately shows recovery options. Repeat it until you see it. If you hold it too long and don't do it right, it starts rebooting!
I'm in the same boat here.

Following this advice literally will likely get the OP stuck at the same point (HTC logo screen).
After holding vol up + power (as suggested) for a minute or so will force a reboot. Once the screen goes dark to reboot (but before the HTC logo screen appears) let go of the buttons, and only hold vol down. Don't let go until the bootloader screen appears. From there, you can go to recovery.

This was only an "accident" in that you were somewhat careless and hasty in your actions.
It still astounds me that a good number of folks decide its a good idea to go into the TWRP "Advanced" wipe options (and its called that for a good reason) intentionally ignoring the statement that the default wipe "Most of the time this is the only wipe that you need"; and then proceed to select partitions to wipe, without properly understanding what the result will be, or how to recover.
Further, once you have TWRP on the device, the first thing you should do is make a backup in TWRP of the stock setup. Regardless of whether you are rooting, installing a custom ROM, or otherwise messing around in TWRP, you should always make a backup before doing any of those things.
That way, if anything goes wrong, getting up and running is as easy as restoring your backup in the TWRP Restore option.

Never needed that combination on my m8 . i thought it was for force shutdown if you leave the keys as soon as the screen goes off ... If still pressed then will result in restart. I am not sure though as i have never tried.

Its a forced reboot every time. I don't think there is a way to force it only to shut down (without immediately rebooting).
I just tried it, holding down power+ vol up, and letting go immediately after the screen turned off; and it just rebooted.
Solved, thank you for your time.
