I rooted and then installed twrp with freegee, used goo to reboot to recovery and it never worked it stayed in lg screen and i cant get it to turn on or off really it just goes off then back on.
Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds and that should get your phone completely powered off without turning itself back on. From there you can use LGNPST back to stock.

I apologize but I will have to have more details. this is what I am working with: LGNPST_ACG_2.2.3_Lab
I assume you run the program then plug in usb when i plug the usb in it goes into the lg screen and the program above says something about missing a dongle. I know what a dongle is and I may be thinking of something different but.....

If you're stuck at the 4glte screen: To get to stock recovery - Power off phone. You need to hold power button for about 20 sec to get it to turn off. Then press and hold vol down+power - The LG logo will come on, then the capacitive lights. Immediatly let go when the capacitive lights turn on.
It takes a few seconds to work. Data wipe/Factory reset. Reboot.

Is there a way to get into fastboot without the power button?
Recently my power button crapped out on me. I got a new replacement phone, but i wanted to pull files off my old phone...
any help would be appreciated, thanks!
EDIT:
Again, 99.99% sure i know this answer too... but is there a way to sent a power up signal via USB when the phone is off?
does your phone turn on?
if so and you have adb setup, you can use: adb reboot bootloader

Nope, doesnt turn on... When im plugged in via USB either to a computer or a power outlet, i get the battery charging icon, but thats it...
before it broke, the power button was working spotty... then the next morning it was not working at all

cohrs said:
take the battery out and plug into usb (connected to computer). put the battery back in and when you see the battery charging on the screen remove the battery again. On mine the battery image starts flickering. at that point i put the battery back in and it rebooted.
This has worked for me a few times. Once rebooted you will be able to see your device using adb and then fastboot.
i got the idea from this post but found the timing i used worked better than his random attempts while holding the x key on the nexus one.

If you're really desperate for the data, you could always open the phone up and manually trigger the button as someone above has posted. There probably is another way via hardware tools e.g. JTAG or something OMAP/flash related but I'm not aware of anything specific.

Try to beat it, its frustrating. You have to be quick. I was doing that fast. Once you go into cwm recovery use the bottom buttons of our phone to navigate thru it.

try this it will boot your phone into recovery automatically as long as your computer recognizes your phone. just open up the application bat file on computer within 2-3 secs it boots you straight to recovery. good luck.
Dude it sounds like your power button could be stuck the way your making it sound

i think this must be it... cus i managed to get it to boot, and everything loaded fine. but as soon as it got past the boot animation, the toggle that has power off, screenshot, etc (the thing that pops up when you hold the power button on) comes up immediatly.
how can i fix this bs?
Either you have a defective button or you need to clean it because it might be getting stuck for some apparent reason .
ok so i for sure have a stuck power button... im gonna go to t-Mobile tomorrow to try to get this sorted out.
thing is, im on the latest AOKP nightly, are they gonna **** me over on my insurance policy (the like 3-4 bucks you pay a month to tmobile) cus I rooted my phone?

Mostly likely yes if the tmobile knows its not stock. They could say it was your fault by saying you put a defective rom on your phone that's not factory. They try to get out of s**t all the time. But you could get lucky. But if I were you I would restore it to factory before I took it to the store. Just to be on the safe side.
I powered off my phone this morning and left it in a hot car for about 6 1/2 hours, and when I tried to turn it back on, no dice. The LG logo comes up for a split second and thats it. I can tell the screen is still on, it's just black. No luck booting into recovery. It is rooted, and I honestly don't know what recovery I installed, probably twrp. Any advice before I take it to best buy or sprint?

Fixed using teeny bin/LGNPST after doing some research. I love the internet, I'm not smart enough to figure this stuff out on my own.
Guys I am in serious trouble. While restoring EFS. After reboot My phone not booting up, I tried to hard reset but no luck, I tried to put into download mode but it is not booting. Just dead black screen.
Any one have an idea how to fix or put into download mode or reboot.
To put it in download mode, hold both volume buttons for like 5 seconds. Then plug it in as you are holding them. Don't release the buttons for a min... Or until the "Download Mode" screen appears. Hope this helps

If you can't get into download mode then you are hard bricked and the only way of solving the problem is probably JTAG. Are you sure the battery is charged??? If you charge your phone does the screen turn on???

How to J tag the Phone - Lg G pro E988 ?
Alright, so here's the deal:
After much searching, and a few new grey hairs, I've arrived at the point where I feel a new thread is justified. Recently, after a SlimKat flash, my screen lost the ability to turn off, and stay off. Typically, invoking a lock screen and having the appropriate timeouts set will allow the screen to sleep, but my phone is no longer behaving this way.
When I lock the screen, or the screen locks based on settings, instead of it staying off until I press the power button, it continually comes back on, displays the lockscreen, then turns off...then back on again...repeat ad-nauseam.
Please help before I launch this SOB off of a bridge.

If going back to fully stock don't fix it then it's most likely a stuck power button. I've read about a few of them sicking in, and causing problems...

They are only inactive on the screen requiring a press to enter download mode. I've had it happen before on an older Galaxy.
I'm using this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844
Once done, I'm going to verify lockscreen operation, then probably flash away once again. This was an odd issue, to be sure. Never seen anything quite like it over numerous phones/roms/years.
Somewhat of an issue...can't boot to Download to get root; can't run rebooter app without root to get to download mode. LOL
Plugging away, but lockscreen appears to work with OEM ROM.
