[solved][question][softbrick] h815 can't get into twrp with hardware keys - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed cm14.1 for cyanogenmod, restarted the device and didn't turn on usb-debugging, so I can not reach recovery with the console/terminal.
I only can get into the standard "factory data reset" menĂ¼, but not into recovery.
Is the a way to get into twrp?
solution:
confirm 2 times yes and i got into twrp without factory or data reset!

Lost TWRP since flashing to 5.0

I upgraded to Skins rooted ROM and I've just tried to jump back into recovery to flash the latest Androidnow HD to discover that I no longer have TWRP installed, I flashed the new TWRP with modem support and tried again (Using Quickboot, Flashify and manual reboot - Quickboot/Flashify don't work at all and manual reboot takes me to the hard reset menu)
How can I sort this out? Cheers.
If i want to access twrp i have to go to the factory reset dialog(2 times yes) it doesn't delete anything even thogh it says so.

How to enter recovery mode?

I've followed youtube videos and other sites to enter recovery mode but all i get is an option to factory reset or to exit. I've held down the volume down and power key together until the LG logo appears and then let go of the power key after a second.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

What android version are you running? And how did you install the recovery img? And which one? If you installed the recovery properly and want to enter via hardware buttons it's the correct procedure.
--> If you're in the LG Stock recovery (where it asks you if you want to wipe your phone) just click yes twice and you'll boot into TWRP or clockworkmod (Whatever you've installed). I know that's a dumb way but it works
Note: If you didn't install the recovery correctly you will then wipe your phone!!!
To find out if you've done everything correctly with your recovery (and if you're rooted) just use the app Quick Boot from the play store, grant permissions and reboot into recovery. If you've done everything correctly you will be in recovery mode then And you can be sure that everything is setup correctly and use the hardware button method to access recovery (Just like I told you).

I'm on MM without a custom recovery., I'm hoping to just get into stock recovery and wipe cache partition. Is there even a stock recovery? Maybe factory reset yes/no is all there is?
Thanks

Nope and yes - There's only the option to factory reset if you don't have a custom recovery installed. Sorry to bear the bad news I thought you had a custom Recovery installed and don't know how to enter it. There's no stock-like recovery to access on the G4. Sorry :crying:

Do this, install lgup on pc, plug in usb, start lgup, let it detect on com port, click com port, ui will open, then click pbone info, it establishes avalid usb connection to phone, when it has, start adb prompt and type ' adb flash recovery (recovery image name) when done type adb reboot recovery and you're in recovery.
Just remember twrp recovery image must be in same folder as adb istalled to)
https://dl.twrp.me/h815/
on Stock MM?

does this work on stock MM 20A or 20B without unlocking bootloader. i'd do it even if its just temporary to wipe cache and return to stock recovery after the wipe. factory reset just is too much to start from scratch with installs and setups. i am Never Buying a LG phone ever. it was my mistake
I have an unlocked bootloader, twrp (2.8.7), root and on MM V20a, Stock.
I can boot into revocery via adb reboot bootloader / fastboot recovery boot twrp, all works fine (excecpt that I cant access the external exfat sd card with cm12/cm13 based roms).
But I cant boot with Power on /Vol down keys intoTWRP recovery.
Altough I can boot in LG factory reset menu but if I perform that it wipe indeed to facotory reset no way to reboot in recovery.
I try it a couple of time without success. Also I try differnt key combinations (Power on / Vol Up + Vol down etc.), around 15 times.
Also I cant use tools like "Quick Boot" I try 4 or 5 diverents the result is always the same - android on the back with open hatch.
When I try to boot on CM12/CM13 via Power Menu directly to recovery the same effect occurs.
Whats gos wrong? Where is my mistake?
If you flashed TWRP, the "LG Factory Reset" menu will still show up. Just confirm 2 times with yes there, and TWRP will get started . Bit confusing, I know.

As I wrote - when I do this a factory reset is performed - no recovery.
Thats is my problem and unfortunately not the solution.
Update:
This is the solution:

OP3 with TWRP 3.0.2 reverts back to stock recovery on reboot

Has anyone seen the OP3 automatically revert back to stock recovery no matter how many times TWRP is successfully installed via fastboot?
At first I thought it was the "Advanced reboot" enabled causing it since when "recovery" is selected from within the OS power button menu, a "factory data reset" message appears prior to reboot....BUT I tried cycling the phone with "Advanced reboot" disabled and a clean install of TWRP working - and it still didn't stick. Regardless, whenever I enter the OS and then either turn the phone OFF or manually reboot it, the stock recovery gets automatically rewritten.
Could that annoying "device unlocked" pre-boot warning message be the cause? Do I need to relock the bootloader and/or disable "OEM unlocking"?
To confirm, I currently have the OP3 bootloader unlocked and NOT rooted (need Android Pay). The same issue occurs with the OP3 running OOS 3.1.2, 3.1.3, and 3.2.0.
I never had this issue with my OnePlus 1 so I am a little bewildered why this keeps happening.

Which developers TWRP are you using? I had that happen, I forget which one I was on. Grarak 's TWRP works great and doesn't revert back to stock recovery.

Yes, TWRP by Grarak. I have not tried the "official" TWRP yet.
To confirm, all you do is:
1. Enable USB debugging, OEM unlock, and Advanced reboot...
2. Reboot in to the bootloader and decrypt user data via "fastboot format user data" (not required{??})
3. Allow the phone to wipe and re-establish itself...
4. Set the phone up again....enabling USB debugging, OEM unlock, and Advanced reboot...
5 Reboot in to the bootloader and unlock the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock...
6. Allow the phone to wipe and re-establish itself...
7. Set the phone up again....enabling USB debugging, OEM unlock, and Advanced reboot....
8. Go back in to the bootloader and Install TWRP via "fastboot flash recovery <TWRP.img>...
That is it, yes?
It seems relocking the bootloader doesn't do anything for me. Also, even though I decrypted the user data partition, it still shows the "encrypt phone" being "encrypted" within the Security & fingerprint menu. Maybe something related is blocking the recovery image from sticking past a reboot.
Thanks,

I also had this problem with one of the other unofficial TWRPs. Grarak's TWRP worked in the end.
You need to allow TWRP to modify the system partition. If you said to leave it read-only on first boot, it will revert to stock recovery.
The problem is if you flash TWRP now, it wont give you that option again. To find it, reflash, boot into TWRP, go to Mount and change it towards the bottom where it says Mount system partition read-only.

Needing root and having root are two different things. Flashing Magisk immediately after flashing TWRP will solve the issue. If you don't want root at all, I don't know of any other method to solve this.

Already flashed the rom and the problem is solved. Now im in search for a good rom for battery and relatively good camera. Any suggestions. RR seems to be draining so quickly. I ll just wait till 3-4 charge cycle.

SuperSU/TWRP boot issue

Hi to everyone.
I have a LG G4 H815, unlocked bootloader, with CyanogenMod 14.1 Rom
I wanted to update the SuperSU database, I try what they called the "normal" mode but it didn't work.
Then I tried the TWRP mode, the phone booted into Recovery and install a script named OpenRecoveryScript or something like that.
Since the phone is stucked on Cyanogen Animation Boot.
Does Anyone have an idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks a lot.
Get into TWRP, factory reset, and restore back to a previous save. If you don't have that, you'll have to factory reset and reinstall CM.

LGUP and KDZ. refurbished option. reinstall recovery again.
If LGUP and KDZ doesn't work, install LG Bridge on your computer. Use the stock charging cable and plug it into the PC. Power off your phone and hold Vol+ and plug in the the micro USB to the phone. It should boot into download mode and your computer should install drivers and LG Bridge should recognize the device. Use LG Bridge to update your phone to the latest official build. After that, follow the standard instructions to install TWRP.

Why? Do you have twrp installed? If YES use the hardware key combo to go into factory reset! If you see the white background with the question for factory reset follow the instructions there to do so.
If.... I say IF ! you have twrp installed this will NOT do anything else then booting into twrp. From there you can install the supersu zip wiping dalvik or just restore a previous backup.
I re-install everything from KDZ and everything is fine now thanks
I had TWRP installed but didnt know why since the supersu update i totally lost access to the recovery.
Thanks again for your help

Known issue no clue how to solve. But there is a work around! Get into twrp and type "adb push zipfilename /sdcard/ in CMD, make sure you phone is connected! Now go to Install and go to /sdcard/ tadaah!

Flash latest TWRP
Take complete backup of data to PC
Flash some ROM. Freedom or Experience recommended if you want Stock.
If it still gives problem, then FORMAT (not wipe) in TWRP (will erase all your data).
Flash ROM from OTG or copy back to phone through MTP and then flash.
Good luck :good:
That i use after many many wrong go test.
