[Q] Can't boot to recovery using buttons - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can't boot to TWRP after turning off.
From TWRP manager no problem, but I'd like to be able to boot instantly to recovery or download (fastboot).
Everyone uses the Power + Vol Down keys...and works on every video from youtube...but with me it doesn't.
Also I can't boot to fastboot any way I tried (hardware or software ways)
Any ideas???
Thanks

When you do the button method, do you let go at the lg logo then immediately press again? If so, don't let go. Just keep holding past the logo.

You can't boot also to download mode you say ? Which method you used to install recovery ?
Your G3 model ? D855 ?

[Q] Can't boot to recovery

I have a F400K G3 (Korean Olleh). It's rooted and bumped. I flashed the bumped TWRP image via Flashify and rebooted recovery via Flashify. It works. But when I try boot to recovery from a complete shutdown. It just boots into safe mode. I did exactly what was stated in the Bump thread (Power+V. Down, when logo appears, release then press again quickly) and also tried substituting V. Down button with V. Up, but it still wont boot to recovery. It just keeps going into safe mode. The video provided in the thread was using an AT&T model so maybe it differs from every variant. I want to know if I'm doing something wrong or the instructions are wrong.
Thank you.
You tried without releasing? Just keep holding buttons

I have tried it as well without releasing. Does the same thing. And it never shows the reset screen. It just goes directly to the boot animation. Rebooting from Flashify also doesn't show the reset screen but it does get to TWRP. But I need to boot it from complete shutdown because I'm gonna test a Flashable zip ROM without root so rebooting using Flashify would be impossible.
Bump.
Seriously. Anyone?
I am subscribing because I have the exact same problem. I have tried every key combination I could find for the G2 and G3 but no luck...
This is exactly the kind of problems you get when using stuff like Flashify. The holding of the buttons etc you mentioned should work. Are you sure you aren't connected using a micro usb?

No, I am not connected to USB. If I reflash the recovery using ADB will it work? But I do have some worries because I'm using KitKat bootloader on a Lollipop Stock-based ROM (here) and I think I may get some errors.
It's not very important right now because I have root now and can reboot to recovery using Flashify.
I think all korean models cant enter recovery via hardware keys, mine is F400L and have the same problem.

Turn off the phone completely. Press and hold Power and Volume Down. When the LG logo appears, release. After a split second, press volume down and volume up. White screen asking you to reset will appear. Press Yes two times using Volume buttons.
UP!!!
Any remedies? I justed from stock to cm12 LG g3 F400L..
Cant go to recovery mode. Cant flash anything..
Same prob,always going to safemode.f400k rooted,cloudy2.5
i've Lg g3 F4ooL and using Resrruction remic 5.5.5
I stuck in a Bootloop and my device is also not booting into Recovery or safe Mode.
Lg flash Tool is also not Connecting to my device in Downloadmode.
I think There is NO solution At ALl
Has anyone solved this issue?
to get in recovery on F460s, worked on mine, Press Vol-up + Power, as the logo appears release the keys and press Vol-up + Vol-down, you will boot into recovery.
I have the same issue, cant go into recovery using hard buttons on F400K. Any one able to succeed in this?
Same issue on LG G3 F460S, no combination of power + volume buttons + releasing them and pressing again when LG logo appears works. The device go straight into booting system and gets stuck. Is there any other method - maybe short-circuit some pins on the motherboard, to boot into recovery or do a system reset? Please...
OK, turns out that the combination is different for Korean models of G3, as misbah711 wrote, volume UP + power, when logo appears, release and press both volume UP + volume DOWN. If that does not work, try again, but release only the POWER button and press immediately volume DOWN (while volume UP was held all the time). Also, I first tried it without the back cover, as I have to remove battery to turn it off, did not work. Then with the cover it did, not sure if it's an important detail or not.
However it's not the end of the story for me. An image with Korean text appears, and nothing. No combination of power and volume buttons pressing does anything. I'm attaching the image. Also tried a web service to do Korean OCR and then used Google Translate - does not make any sense. Could anyone advise how to proceed and do a factory reset on this device? It won't boot into the system (gets stuck), no adb or any other communication with it.
Edit:
Turns out that when the Korean text appears and I connect USB cable to my PC, adb works correctly. Typed:
adb reboot recovery
The phone rebooted into recovery and now I'm doing a factory reset on it. Looks like all will be fine.
i have d851 on stock kitkat. I flashed TWRP and Philz but no way i can get into recovery mode. it always goes to fastboot mode no matter how I reboot into recovery. Now i am looking for stock recovery image. or a way to fix the twrp/philz. ROM boots just fine.

[Q] F180 (vol up + power) does't work

Main information. F180, bootloader unlocked with teenybin, I'm on resurection lp rom.
Everything worked fine but I accidentally flashed the wrong file, now the phone is in boot loop. Though that is not the problem (I know how to fix it).
The problem is that there is no way I can access recovery. This happened to me before but I got lucky - computer detected the phone while it was in bootloop and I was able to use (adb reboot recovery). Next time I got lucky some kind of green screen showed up and from there I was able to go to recovery. Now i know that the most obvious way to go to recovery is through bootloader (vol up + power) but no matter how many times and in what diffrerent ways I try it I can't boot into bootloader it simply starts booting the rom... I am frustrated and have zero ides. Maybe you have some. Thank you in advance.
P.s.: i held down the power button for over 1 minute before attempting. And also download mode works.
If you can still boot into download mode you can try to flash the original firmware with the LG flash tool:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
Don't worry you can use it for the LG Optimus G too:fingers-crossed:
Thank you for the idea, but I managed to solve my problem the same way as before. Use adb while the phone is in bootloop.

Yes. First of all: Xposed version 79 doesn't work on LG G4 with marshmallow. You can use this zip file to get xposed working (but weather app doesn't work then - It's a test version)
Furthermore you can always access recovery mode by
Turn off device (or pull battery)
Press volume down and power button (hold it)
Release ONLY power button for 1 Sec, when LG logo appears
Then press power button again and hold it (while you still held the volume down button)
Stock recovery asks you to "wipe" the phone. Press "yes" and "yes"
TWRP will be entered then
In addition: There's an uninstaller zip in the original marshmallow xposed thread, which you can find here. Just flash it and xposed will be gone, phone boots again.
Hope this helps
Cheers

H815 Soft bricked(?) adb shows device offline

Soo.... I messed up and edited the build.prop specificly the ro.build.type property. I tried to enable some debug options without validating if this would be a good idea (hint: it's not).
It seems that this has bricked my phone, the first LG splash screen shows up with the powered by android, and the second animation just keeps loading forever (making the phone very hot). And the LED flashes blue continously.
I did manage to get the device visible in ADB but it tells me that the device is offline so I can't do anything with it.
Tried booting in recovery mode (holding power button + volume down) but it just own't go into recovery mode.
Some extra info of what runs on my phone:
- version H815
- Android 6.0
- bootloader unlocked
- TWRP installed
- Rooted
- XPosed installed
Any idea on what I could try to fix it? (I guess stuck with a brick but oh well).
Thanks!
What do you mean, by it can't go into recovery mode?
Nothing is showing on screen?
Go to downlod mode either use lgup or lg flashtool to reflash the firmware that you are on... Do u remember which firmware you were on ?
Thanks for the replies!

I meant that it just boots 'normally' when I press those buttons, it shows me the first LG logo and the second animation just hangs, whatever I do. I tried all sorts of combinations with the power button + volume down. (Keeping it pressed, briefly letting it go after the lg logo and repressing them).

I don't know exactly which firmware I was on but I can't even get my phone into download mode (same as my other response, pressing volume up doesn't do anything).
The recovery and download mode used to work but I have no idea why it doesn't now...
When booting the phone, hold the power button and volume down button simultaneously, when LG logo appear, push the power button again. You should see the white screen, where you choose "YES" twice. Then the phone should kick you into TWRP or different recovery mode.
But how the hell editing build.prop can mess with recovery and download mode? Sounds incredible

Maybe he has bootloop issue... ILAPO
Yeah I have no idea why the buttons aren't working for me. After a lot of searching I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/soft-bricked-device-t3248144
Which is basicly the same thing I'm experiencing, ADB comes online for just a brief second (kept spamming the reboot recovery command) and got in TWRP and I just flashed another which worked fine.
Odd thing is, even now my phone works I can't start recovery or download with the hardware buttons...... oh well, thankfully adb works as it's supposed to.
Thank you all for your help!

First of all dude, since your bootloader is not unlocked how you can access it's fastboot mode!? I don't get it. Also, you simply cannot root your device without unlocking your bootloader since it requires fastboot mode to work.
Well, if you can access your stock recovery mode by vol+Power button I recommend you to format data and install latest package from Realme software download website! Or service centre is the final option!
If your phone is stuck on the Realme logo and never boots and only restarts and shows logo again in a continuous circle then press and hold volume+ and power button until the phone shuts down. Then press volume- and power button and hold until you get into fastboot mode.
From fastboot then use the1) volume button to select Recovery 2) then press the power button to go to recovery 3) then select how you want to flash the stock rom (either download ROM from internet, flash from ROM saved on you phones storage)
