After upgrading to 6.0.1 via OTA the touch screen does not respond anymore.
The buttons work.
How can I restore back to previous version or do a factory reset? Device is stock/locked.

From what you are saying the power/volume up/down buttons work. So boot into the bootloader mode hold the down volume button in and the while holding this button in press and hold the power button in until it boots into bootloader mode then release both button. At this point you will get android on it side with belly open. Press the volume down button the get to where it says Recovery Mode in the large arrow. Now tap the power button this should put you in recovery mode. After the Google name goes away you will see the android with a red ! point. Press and hold the power button and while doing tap the power Up button. This will bring you to a menu list use the page up/down keys to select the Wipe data/factory reset, then hit power to execute.
The easiest way to roll back would be to visit WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit web page and use their tool. Link here!
Good luck and report back with results and/or help needed.
Was able to factory reset.
Now I am at the Lang select screen and the touch still not responsive.
Maybe it is hardware issue?

Sounds like a possibility. However, it was working prior to the 6.0.1 upgrade. I would try rolling back to 6.0.0 or even 5.1.1 to see what that does for you.
Installed custom recovery (TWRP) and the touch screen works fine while in recovery mode.
Now I will try to flash a different rom version and see if the touch screen still functions.
Thanks.
After I did Factory Reset via TWRP, the touch screen is like new. I'm good for now.

If I have TWRP recovery and still on stock rom can I flash the SuperSU zip file from recovery to obtain root access ?

From what I've read yes installing SuperSu should allow you to obtain root access, as long as the flash is successful

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... :/

I'm probably not the best person to help, however if you put a new post up with more details on what you have access too, the community will be able to help out.

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.
My wife's old S3 was given to me to use. I had originally flashed CM 11 on it and tried to upgrade to CM 12.1. In doing so I accidentally forgot to flash GAPPS.
I reverted to the stock ROM via Odin but now I'm stuck in a boot loop. The best part? The device's power button does not work and I cannot make any selections within the stock recovery to clear the cache and reset to factory settings.
Can anyone help me?
Pull the battery to turn off the phone and put it back in. If you feel the phone power up by vibrating upon putting the battery in and not touching the power button and go into loop then you have a bad power button. Do you have this problem? If so, then your only options are repair or remove the power button (there is an alternate way to power the phone up). Let us know if it is a bad power button or not so that hardware issues can be accounted for and go from there.
NOTE: The S3 has been known for some time now to have power buttons that fail. Mine did, and I opt to remove mine as I could not justify paying for a repair when the S3 is my backup phone and test platform and I have a method to power up. I use widgets for controlling power off, restarts, and recovery once powered up.
I no longer have a power button either and recently encountered this same issue after using Odin to flash a stock image.
My solution was to flash TWRP recovery using Odin, which allows one to perform operations using touch instead of the power button.

Bootloops have not been uncommon when reverting from LP to KK. Once you have flashed TWRP as others in the thread have suggested, you will probably need to wipe/ format the internal sdcard. The other remedy some have posted is to load a stock recovery and do a factory reset from within that stock recovery.
Not sure how to get into recovery without a power button.
Is the button loose or not functioning at all? You could try opening the phone and removing everything from the frame and see if the power button functions.
I haven't tried this with my SGS3, but on my Acer tablet I have booted into recovery using adb and fastboot. This requires connection to a computer, but not a power button. Unless you have a touch version of a custom recovery installed you still would not be able to select an item.
You may be able to flash a custom recovery using adb. I had broken my stock recovery on that tablet and used fastboot to reflash a working stock recovery.
Guys,
Does anyone have problem accessing recovery after update.
I update it to MM 6.0, phone works fine but just does not get to recovery. I tried from boot but no sucess.
Everything is stock, non rooted.
Any idea what may be wrong?
I also can't access recovery (red triangle) and it says that system software modified, even though I haven't touched anything, only install the OTA update.
What can I do to revert to official status and regain recovery? Also flashing a RUU will delete my files or no?

RUU flash will delete everyting for sure.
I'll try in the afternoon to flash RUU then unlock bootloader and be ready as soon as root method be published.
I have that red triangle as well and i can acces the stock recovery. When that triangle appears press the power button and the volume up once at the same time. Or hold the power button and press the volume up button . Either way it (don't know wich) it works for me

Yes, its not clear, but the OP may be confused about the fact that when you see the red triangle, that is the stock recovery (then perform the button sequence above to access the recovery menu options).

Hi!
Today I unlocked bootloader and installed a custom rom and everything went fine.
Now, when I tried to flash the camera mod app, I couldn't enter TWRP. When trying to do it with the restart option it shows a broken android and I have to remove battery to get the phone running again. Manual (holidng down vol button + power button, as well as holding down buttons and releasing them for 1s) is also not working.
The phone works fine, but I would like to have TWRP working.
Can I just reinstall twrp like the first time?
Thank you

What device? H811? Needs to know more about what software you flashed.
If you can get into fastboot you can push twrp there.
Hmmm i flashed xperia phones locked bootloader twrp on my h818 and i got this error too so it means it changed the recovery but can't start it?

H815 EUR. I installed the 2.8.7.0 and the 2.8.6.1 from https://dl.twrp.me/h815/. I tried it multiple times with these 2 versions and everytime I get the same error.
Connecting it to pc and entering recovery works without a problem, though.
Edit: I flashed Genisys 3.7

So you can get into twrp with "adb reboot recovery"?
Your problem is you can not access it from neither the rebooter app nor the hardware buttons?
When using the harware buttons, hold vol down then press and hold power until the logo shows up. Release power for a second then press and hold again.

Correct, I can get in twrp with "adb reboot recovery"
I was releasing both the volume and power buttons. Tried it again, but I came to a menu where I could only choose whether to delete all data (factory reset) or not. When choosing NO, the phone proceeded to boot normally.

That menu is perfectly normal. You have to select okay. Because you have a custom recovery it will not factory reset your phone but rather boot you into twrp.

Oh wow thank you very much. Everything works now
Unlocked phone's bootloader and flashed the latest TWRP, downloaded straight from their site and md5 checked.
If I try to enter TWRP from fastboot, it enters fines but the shortcut just doesn't. If you can't enter twrp from the shortcut, then your basically screwed if you brick it..
I even tried flashing twrp all over again, and still have the sample problem.
So how can I fix this?
i have the same problem, plus the fact that i had error during flashing new rom and now i can't even go back to stock, cause my PC doesn't recognize phone in download mode. Any fixes?

If u have root u can use an app called Flashify download from playstore go to recovery by using this app n The regular way to go Volume up and power button delete all select yes confirm yes u go into TWRP
Use Flashify or while you're in recovery flash again the recovery use the "Flash Image" option. And now you'll have permanent recovery
i found a solution, when your phone is off press volume down + power until lg logo appears, then release power (keep holding wolume down) and press power again. Then double yes and boom TWRP

Thanks mate. This made the factory reset menu open, and after clicking yes twice it did a normal factory reset like there was no twrp there.. I flashed twrp a couple of times with no error messages, and even got into it a month ago. How did it disappear.. what the hell
