Well... You can't. You have 2 choises:
1. Download Mode (Power BT+Volume UP)
2. Factory Reset (Power BT+Volume Down)
PS. Wrong place, should be placed in the HELP forum, not Android Dev (for next time) ...

Ok, sorry
If you have a backup can you push the saved build.prop using adb?
When it's powered off hold power and volume down until the lg logo shows, as soon as it shows let go and press and hold the same buttons again. Hold them until it asks if you want to factory reset. Select yes both times. If you have twrp it will boot into it, if not it will factory reset your phone. As long as you have a custom recovery you'll be fine.

I accidentally formatted the system partition so the tablet will not boot. I can't get back in to TWRP, I didn't have anything to flash in there anyway because CM would fail. What can I do?
Thank you.
You could try the LG mobile support tool

Can you write to it in ADB? How far does it come when it tries to boot? just LG bootloop? And what edition of TWRP did you use to flash?

I realize why it didn't flash. Because I was using an older version of TWRP that wouldn't flash AOSP roms. Is there any way to boot to recovery from the device being off?
The method in the link doesn't seem to work anymore.
How far do you get in the boot? LG screen? When connect to PC do you get connect/disconnect sounds? Please answer the questions as I'm thinking about this. I can't find any key combos so we need to find out if we have a small window where we can talk to ADB.. Any connection sounds? How far do you get?
Are you familiar with ADB and Fastboot?

I don't hear any sounds. It just stays at the LG screen. I made it to the factory reset screen but it didn't do anything. I followed these steps:
Make sure your device is fully charged and turned off.
Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.

ADB doesn't work at the LG screen, I just get the error: device not found message.
I can just send it back but I'd prefer to get it working.
Thanks

Okay, okay, I dunno what you can do maybe ADB Works in here: Turn off the device AND disconnect from PC. When shut Down, you DONT hold power, but hold Volume up + Volume Down, when you hold both, you plug in USB cable. This takes you to download mode. That is perhaps a step in the right direction if you can start ADB from download mode. Then you can boot into recovery. But I don't know. This is maybe the last option for you. No recovery key combo has been discovered yet. If you can do a fastboot boot recovery from download mode, that would be golden. Then you can use the SD Card to get back with the newest TWRP and the CM11 nightly. Please let me know if this Works man. I'm sorry for your loss, otherwise. Factory Reset, as you said, will not work, since there's nothing to "restore" from. You deleted it. :/
Unfortunately, ADB doesn't work in download mode.

Damn that sucks. I was looking around the G2 forums to see about download mode and what LG usually did with it. Apparently they are using something called KDZ files, and they are able to flash stock roms back onto the device with something called FlashTool. Now, if it were my tablet and it was in the state yours is, I would try and read the tutorial. And then I'd follow it step by step but instead of the G2 KDZ, I'd see if I could find a KDZ with a G Pad rom instead. And just.. Yolo that ****.. From download mode.
Here's the thread, if you wanna read it.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. I dunno man. The LG Tool thing, maybe you should try and see what techrider6262 is saying, he might have an idea as well, otherwise, just go all out crazy and see if you can magically use the FlashTool on your G Pad instead of the G2, since they are from "same line up." I know that's not the same as same model and so on.. But still.. Download mode.. Is download mode. Ofc. the tool itself or the settings in the tool might not work.. But.. You know. Why not.. Can't hurt.. Download mode will prolly still be available afterwards.. "For science."
got the same problem. i couldnt i wiped all data on the tablet and couldnt select the rom from the ext.sd. now its stuck at the lg logo.

This guys.. Is for download mode fix. I am pretty sure this works. Since you have access to Dload mode. Good luck.
I use the download mode to install the original official rom.
1. Download the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL by this link:http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-V500-White
2. install the software in computer, Plug in USB cable with computer, Open the software LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.
3. Turn off Pad and unplug.
4. press hold both volume up and volume down, Then plug in usb cable, And then pad is in downlaod mode
5. USB driver will be insatlled automatically
6. In LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL, click option---.country and language-OK, then click option--upgrade recovery
7. It will installe original official rom automatically.
8. After about 1.5 hours, The pad will be installed the last official room.
^ This is a quote and now I shut down the thread, sorry, don't know who said it, just got stoked when I saw it.
thanks, the tool is downloading the rom. hope its works.
// it worked thanks a lot, will try to flash cm 11 tomorrow again.

That is GREAT!
Now remember mate, clear DATA in TWPR, not system.. Never system. Clear only data/factory reset, then just flash CM 11. Nothing else is needed. Remember to install superSU from market after you get booted, otherwise root will not work. Update Binary in SuperSU.
Okay thanks for your help. Its so stupid that there is no key combination for recovery.
I will use your advice and try it later.

There is...
With device powered off do this...
Hold volume key down and press and hold power button.
When LG Logo appears let go of just the power key while still holding the volume key down and then press power key again and volume up while still holding down the volume key.
You get to the factory reset screen and just keep pressing power until you get into recovery.

I can use "adb reboot recovery" to enter TWRP 2.7 recovery mode, but I want to use key combination, please tell me how to that.
Hold Power + Vol Down > Wait until LG Logo pops up and release from both buttons > quickly hold Power + Vol Up + Vol Down again
It will pop up with some message about reset to factory settings, but it's all a bluff.
Hit Power x3 times to confirm and you'll get to TWRP recovery
Thanks, it works.
actually I enter this factory reset mode before, but i just don't know it a "fake".
so will this erase all data or not?

That will depend on whether you've installed TWRP or not.
If you've still got the original recovery it will wipe it like it says it will, if you've got a custom recovery it will take you to it.
The standard recovery isn't a recovery like you're expecting it to be, if just has a way of resetting things to default without allowing you to do anything extra. OEM don't like giving people options but want a way to reset to defaults that the customer can use before needing to return a faulty unit which might not be faulty. If that makes sense.

From what I can tell, it's not a "bluff". It seems that the stock recovery partition would just automatically do a factory reset, so it warns you before booting the recovery partition. Seeing as you're non-stock, it just boots into TWRP/CWM. It's a valid warning that's simply set up in a weird way.

You don't.
We'll you might be able to but you're going about it the wrong way.
First you need to find the right forum for your device, then you read, followed by more reading.
At some point you've hopefully discovered that you should have done all this reading before you reset your device.
Also before pressing the post button on your next post, read it first to make sure it makes sense.
Thank you very much, I tried other combinations found on some web pages that failed. This one worked!
Issue remains.

I got myself in a pretty bad situation. I have the stock rom. I am trying to get that back using recovery but it's not working. Only factory reset screen. This tablet stopped working in 2015. It cannot write ANY data ANYWHERE. Can't take pics, Can't take screenshots, Can't download apps. Nothing. I really want my tablet back... :/

Install LG software on your computer first. Then with the tablet completely off, hold VolUp and plug the tablet into the computer. That will enter LG download mode. Use the LG software on your PC to install the latest firmware available for your device. From there you can use the guides on this forum to go custom if you so desire.

Try to go into recovery. Turn off your phone and turn your phone on with the power button + vol down. When the phone turns on,let go and press the same combo buttons again for a few seconds until it shows a factory reset. Click yes for both ( no it won't delete your data) and it will take you to TWRP
ןIt's still not working and I tried it yesterday and now it does not work because it is installed on the device Recovery So how do I solve this problem please help me!

I believe if you are trying to get into stock recovery you have to hold power and then press volume up when you see the no command screen
Sorry but it don't work for me, even if I go from fastboot into recovery don't work.

Fastboot>recovery just gets you to the "no command screen." From there is where you do the power +volume up command to get the list of recovery options.
Now it works, you have to press first power and then the volume up button. Thx, and I thought it will be gone.
Thx guy's.
Im basically in the same spot, but I while Im in this corrupted recovery - I can't go into full one. Pressing UP+POWER just restarts device to the same place.
Try flashing stock boot.img from full factory image that matches the version you are on.
