Did you make a nandroid backup before you changed the dpi or before?
Because if you did then just turn off your phone and hold power and volume down and then when the LG logo shows let go of power and press and hold back in if done correctly a menu will come up asking if you want to factory reset your phone so click yes and then yes again to confirm and you will enter TWRP then simply restore your backup from there....
If i have helped then please leave a thumbs up.

This is the proper button combination.
First hold volume down then press power down
When the logo shows up, release power and then press power again.
Hope this helps.

[Q] *Help Google nexus 7*

While attempting to flash PA Rom and Gapps, the device turned on and kept saying unfortanately, setup wizard has stopped.
a suggestion was to hold all three buttons at once for 15 seconds. Now the device is completely off screen and responds to no buttons. but when i plug it into PC it makes the sound of hardware connected. Please help
*update*
i fixed the black screen but now all i get is Unfortanately, Setup wizard has stopped
There is no way i can go to the settings to enable USB debugging.
there is no way i can access recovery without USB debugging
I can only access recovery with Nexus toolkit
which requires usb debugging
what do i do?

Make sure the device is turned off(press the power button for 10 seconds). Then press power & volume down until you get into the bootloader menu and from there get into recovery.
If you haven't made a backup in custom revoery then
Then connect Tablet to your PC and download+run this one click restore kit by ATGAdmin

Glad it worked, sorry I was busy playing BF4 and didn't tell you need to use volume key to scroll to recovery and then press power button to boot into recovery.
But that recovery mode picture alone is enough if you are running the one click restore tool.

Getting into TWRP Recovery

Hello everybody,
I hope somebody can help me, I just flashed TWRP and CMB on my 8.3
But i forgot to wipe data before. Now the boot animation still stays.
Can somebody tell me how to get into TWRP, I tried everything. Power + Vol + - ....
Is it a good idea to recover it with the LG tool?
Thanks,
Beagle
First of all you need the 2.6.3.1 version of twrp as the previous one cant enter recovery with a key combo. Then try this:
- With Device Powered Off And Unplugged
- Press and hold Power Button + Volume Down
- 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
- Follow On Screen Indications

although it will say to perform a factory reset it will enter recovery mode
take a look here,its posted by the developer himself http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48338272&postcount=16
yes i have 2.6.3.1 because otherwise i wouldnt be able to install cmb.
And i tried all this combos, but nothing worked.

I just tried it myself, and he's got it basically right.
When you first see the LG logo after holding Vol Down + Power, let go of both buttons, then immediately hit and hold Vol Down + Vol Up + Power. It should register.

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.

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.

and its suddenly working
it didnt work before. i dont know why, is it normal?
anyway....its working now
very thank you for your advise.....
You need to complete shutdown your phone, press power key until the screen turn to complete black (and continue pressing for 5 or 10 seconds more), then, press VOLUME DOWN KEY + POWER KEY and you see a screen to hard reset your phone, press Power key again and your phone will be factory reset and restart normally. Try this without connecting to your PC. Obviously all your personal data will be delete.

[Q] Lg g3 vs985 not going into recovery while device is powered off

Please help lg g 3 won't enter custom recovery I've tried all button variations
Please someone help I have a rooted g3 and don't wanna brick it?????
Go into an adb terminal and type in
Code:
adb reboot recovery[/quote]. If you don't have adb, search up minimal adb and fastboot, and how to use it.

And my phone already has twrp, just can't access it from device being off, but twrp app lets me go to recovery, just not when phone is off. So this should fix that right?

I've seen people are viewing this post if anyone know how to fix my problem please help or message me, the minimal adb won't work unless the device is turned on in usb. debugging, I can access my recovery with phone on easily but while it's powered off I should be able to get to custom recovery by pressing volume down and power while phone is off, but this method isn't working. So if I get in bootloop I can't get into custom recovery...please anyone any ideas
Well it should be as simple as holding down power and volume button down things but i guess you've already tried that method many times and it didnt work so you ask then, right?
If your phone in bootloop, you can flash tot files and it will back to stock re-root and re-install trwp.
If your phone still (or already) normal, you can download an app that can take you to custom recovery such as rebooter or power menu, thats it.
Yea phone isn't in bootloop, but if I put a Rom on phone I have no way to access the recovery because the volume and power won't take me to the recovery, so if it goes into bootloop I'm outta of luck I don't understand why the hardware buttons won't take me to the recovery, have you ever heard of this problem

How long are you holding the vol down and power buttons? It should be around 15-20 seconds, then your system recovery screen comes up, you choose factory data reset, yes, and then TWRP comes up. If that isn't working - are you sure your buttons are working OK?
If the phone is turned off is there any other way to access it while phone is off?
Yes buttons work fine I hold it down and it just goes to Verizon screen ?
Actually when I hold it down it just stays on logo and reboots back to logo over and over and over
Actually I hold it down and it reboots to logo over and over its like there's no recovery there I don't understand lol
If anyone has any ideas or thoughts on how to fix this please let me know

OK... Does your phone boot into your ROM at all or are you bootlooped? If your phone boots, download an app called flashify and get the proper twrp .img file for your model and flash the image using flashify. It's an easy app to use - just make sure you're using the correct twrp .img for your phone...from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
If you are bootlooped I would suggest starting over and reflashing back to stock using the tot or kdz method. Here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/restore-verizon-to-stock-t2827878 I know it can be a pain to get the download tool working properly sometimes, so it may take some effort to get it working, but be patient (and read a lot if you get stuck) and you will get it working.
I don't know how you got borked...maybe it was an un-bumped twrp image? Either way, it is what it is, just try not to do it again Good luck.
Thanks much I'll try this
When this happened to me i would
1: remove battery
2: insert battery
3: hold volume down and lock button at the same time
4: When the LG Logo pops up release the lock button for 1 second (while still holding the volume down button), then press down again
5: A data reset/restore menu appears, and when you choose to reset/restore, TWRP boots to recovery.
