Hello guys,
I am experiencing a hard issue with my GPad. I have the V500 model (bought in France), I have unlocked it, and rooted it (everything was fine).
I decided to install CM ROM, so I have installed TWRP using the loki method, booted in recovery, formatted everything except the external SD card (the CM ROM zip file was in it).
The installation of the CM ROM failed, it showed an error. So I decided to reboot the tablet but I am now stuck on the LG logo, nothing boots. When I decide to enter Recovery mode (without USB cable plugged), it shows the screen OpenRecoveryScript, and then the tablet restarts. I can't access the main menu (see pic 1).
The only thing I have managed to do is to access the tablet via ADB. Unfortunately I don't seem to have root access...and it shows an error message (see pic 2)
I have tried lots of things these past 2 days to try and restore the system but I feel really lost now !! :crying:
Would you mind helping me with my issue ?
Thank you very much in advance!
Follow the instructions in this thread to flash the stock ROM. The only difference is that the button sequence to enter Download Mode on the G Pad is to hold volume up and volume down (not just volume up) while plugging in the USB cable.
First off you didn't read. Second off you have the wrong recovery version installed. You need 2.6.3.1 to flash CM
Thank you coleam, I will try this method and give you an update!
Hope it'll work..!
same problem

I met the question before, I resolved the question with guide in this bbs, But i can't find the thread again, So I write it with my poor english. Wish this can help you.
1. Press the volume down+power button
2. when you see the LG logo, relaese the power button,(Don't relaese the volume down button)
3. Press Volume up and power button immediately (Now, you press those three buttons, the volume down,volume up and power)
4. Wait a while, you can see the recovery mode.

I had a similar issue but was able to get into recovery mode and restore a backup.
Can you get to recovery like this
Power Down the LG G4
When Off, Press and Hold the Volume Down and Power Buttons at the Same Time
Continue Holding These Two Buttons Until You See the LG Logo
When You See the LG Logo, Let Go of the Volume Down and Power Buttons for 1 Second
After 1 Second has Passed, Immediately Start Holding the Power and Volume Down Buttons Again
Continue Holding These Two Buttons Until You Boot Up into the LG G4 Recovery Mode

Hi I'm sorry if you've already said you can't get into recovery mode or anything but when i bricked my g4 i used the lg flash tool to flash h815 10c stock and then instead of flashing the latest twrp (the blue themed one) i flashed the one before it which is 2.8.6.1 and it worked perfectly so if you manage to get into recovery or fastboot then try and flash that version of twrp instead , good luck buddy...

How did you "brick" (it's not) it? Kill switch is an anti theft feature, usually triggered remotely by the user.

This button combo you posted is wrong any way...you only release power for 1 sec and continue holding vol down and the re press power
I cut and pasted those instructions from another site. They held me back from fixing my phone for hours until I discovered the method you have mentioned. I haven't seen any site that tells us to do it like you said, I just was trying different ways and then hey presto!! it worked.

Hi, I'm having a major problem getting into recovery via the power-on+vol-down key combination on MM (20A/20B) - under no circumstances can I get into recovery from cold boot - I can reboot into TWRP recovery when the phone's booted, but recently I've had a couple of bootloops which never enter the OS and so I'm stuffed - both times all I could do is use LGUP to reflash 20B kdz and then re-root etc etc. I'm assuming under MM the key sequence has changed, or is it because I have an unlocked bootloader the sequence is different? I've owned a G2 and G3 and know the "normal" sequence of hold power+vol-down, wait for the LG logo and release then power+vol-down again, but this doesn't seem to work on a Marshmallow G4 (I've tried 100 times with different wait periods on the release etc)....
Its a real PITA not being able to cold boot into TWRP/recovery so can someone advise what the sequence now is (and PLEASE don't reply to tell me its "hold power+vol-down, wait for the LG logo and release then power+vol-down again"!).
Thanks!
I have the same issue and I had been running into same situation to entirely reflash my phone in order to get it boot again. The key combination never worked for me while on 20B; really frustrating if you run into whatever problems requiring to recover through TWRP and not being able to do so.
key combination working me....
If not
adb reboot recovery
Or if phone rooted.
Play store rebooter app

And it never came to your mind, that maybe the entry to recovery might be different to an LG G3 or G2?
The way to enter recovery is:
Hold Vol- and Power until LG Logo appears
Release ONLY Power button for 1 sec
Then press it again and hold it
Recovery entered
I guess google can save lifes And nerves!!!!
Cheers bro
EDIT: Btw this has nothing to do with Marshmallow, Lollipop etc. It's the usual way to enter recovery on a G4 And I didn't read the OP entirely. It seems like you just had the wrong sequence. This one works for me on Masrhmallow 20B!

Thanks... It did occur to me it might be different (which in the end is why I posted here!)... and I had googled, and the sequence is so stupidly close to the G2/G3 sequence its easy to see now the error of my ways (why the h*ll did LG have to change one key in the sequence)!
Thanks for the quick response Bro

You're very welcome! I have to admit, that it's really stupid to change it slightly from model to model, yeah :laugh:
I had to google it myself and needed several attempts to get it right. But now we both know and we can enter recovery whenever we want :good: Merry Christmas and a happy new year bro

Thanks for your heads-up. Unfortunately if i try this combination a screen appears "Factory data reset" asking "No (Exit)" or "Yes".
Now I would assume if I enter "Yes" it would boot into recovery, but I am not sure whether this will completely wipe my phone.
Can anyone confirm that I´m on the right path here?

Hold on. There are 2 options. If you installed recovery properly (I bet you did), indeed, clicking on "yes" will boot you into recovery. If you're a monkey, just like I was, and DIDN'T install recovery properly, yes, it will just wipe your data.
But that's the usual way to hardware-button-boot into recovery
How did you install it? There's an easy way to check if everything is set up correctly. Use this app to boot into your recovery from within android.
If it boots you into recovery then everything is set up straight and you can boot into recovery with hardware buttons a 100% by clicking "yes" and "yes" in the "stock" recovery.
EDIT: I know that's an awkward way, but it's the right 1 Cheers

Hello guys,
I have AT&T H81020n MM 6.0 and I cannot get into recovery mode by pressing Vol Down + Power button. It just boots normally. Tried dozens of time. Any solutions? :crying:
Plus, I found a blog online which stated that G4 on 6.0 can be rooted, not sure if its legit. Anyone who got sufficient knowledge might wanna have a look and approve it?
Link: http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/04/root-lg-g4-60-marshmallow.html
TIA.
Hello, I am trying to get into the recovery mode/factory reset of my LG G8 Canadian Model.
Volume down + power method does not work neither does temporarily releasing the power button.
Does anyone with a Canadian G8 know how to enter recovery mode on this specific model?
Try power + volume up. I've got the Sprint model, and needed to do a factory reset when trying to unlock my bootloader. The guides I found online said volume down + power, but that never worked for me. Volume up + power did.

I tried that method, but that does not work for me.
I'd there any other possible combo (anyone on Canadian G8)?
You have to press Volume Down + Power, when the LG logo appears let go of the Power button only and press it again right away (when the logo is still visible)

That does not work on my Canadian G8
Oddly enough, all of a sudden, I'm able to consistently get into recovery mode with Volume down + power. Previously, I managed to pull it off once by accident, and that was it. I recently switched my A/B slots, so that I could roll back my software to G820U20e, so that I can unlock my bootloader whenever I decide to stop being lazy. Perhaps there's some kind of bug on G820U20f, if you happened to be on the latest update like I previously was?
Anyways, for me to get into recovery, I power off the phone (and not plugged in). I press and hold both Volume Down + Power, but I never let go of either button until I see "Recovery Mode Loading..." on the screen.

From the sounds of things, you might just have to re-flash your phone. You can download the firmware files from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/series/lg-g8-thinq/
If this helps anybody, my particular G8 had its IMPL set to 0, so I flashed the engineering ftm onto my G8 and the standard recovery combo is working again. I also can boot into fastboot now using the fastboot combo.

Mine isn't hardware modded. Mine is one with a replaced motherboard directly from LG.
