Following this advice literally will likely get the OP stuck at the same point (HTC logo screen).
After holding vol up + power (as suggested) for a minute or so will force a reboot. Once the screen goes dark to reboot (but before the HTC logo screen appears) let go of the buttons, and only hold vol down. Don't let go until the bootloader screen appears. From there, you can go to recovery.

This was only an "accident" in that you were somewhat careless and hasty in your actions.
It still astounds me that a good number of folks decide its a good idea to go into the TWRP "Advanced" wipe options (and its called that for a good reason) intentionally ignoring the statement that the default wipe "Most of the time this is the only wipe that you need"; and then proceed to select partitions to wipe, without properly understanding what the result will be, or how to recover.
Further, once you have TWRP on the device, the first thing you should do is make a backup in TWRP of the stock setup. Regardless of whether you are rooting, installing a custom ROM, or otherwise messing around in TWRP, you should always make a backup before doing any of those things.
That way, if anything goes wrong, getting up and running is as easy as restoring your backup in the TWRP Restore option.

Never needed that combination on my m8 . i thought it was for force shutdown if you leave the keys as soon as the screen goes off ... If still pressed then will result in restart. I am not sure though as i have never tried.

Its a forced reboot every time. I don't think there is a way to force it only to shut down (without immediately rebooting).
I just tried it, holding down power+ vol up, and letting go immediately after the screen turned off; and it just rebooted.
Solved, thank you for your time.

1st, wrong section. There is a Q&A section.
2nd You should have said it was aokp
3rd it's sitting there because you didnt follow the instructions. I know where you failed to, but you will have to search.
oops my bad :/ and isn't that the 4.2.1? Will my boot stay like this forever?...
Moved to Q&A. Please keep in mind that as a rule, if your post begins with a question, it should probably go in the Q&A. The dev threads are specifically for ROM development
Thanks

first thing i would try is wiping user data then rebooting. if that does not work i think you should try installing the rom again. here are the instructions.
Like most other roms, boot into recovery and...
1. Wipe Data/Cache
2. Wipe System
3. Install Rom
4. Install Gapps
5. Reboot....
take the bullies and belittlers with a grain of salt. its the nature of the beast in this place. i have to admit though search is your friend. do not let them detour you from asking questions.
i know to do that... how do i enter recovery... andytime i turn on my phone it goes into the boot animation or a fast boot screen.

Force the phone off by holding the power button for appx 15secs.
Put the phone into recovery mode by holding the volume up and home button concurrently, then press the power button. Let go of all the buttons after you see the LG logo on screen for the 2nd time and the screen goes blank thereafter (backlight may still be on). The phone will kind of reboot and then enters recovery mode. Repeat the process if you did not get it the first time.
have tried... either brings me to a fastboot screen or just boots up...

If you are rooted download quick boot from market. It will have many options and one is booting into recovery.
I haven't done it on the G3, but I always used GooManager for that. I'm sure Flashify and others have that option.

How to Enter Recovery mode in LG G3:
First Switch off the phone. For that, press the power button and choose “power off”.
Wait for the mobile shuts down.
Now press and hold the “Volume Down + Power” button together untill you get the LG logo on your screen.
It may take up to 2 to 3 seconds.
Now release those buttons.
And again press those buttons for few seconds untill the recovery screen appears.
Now you will get the screen.

My solution for that has always been to make a TWRP back up, which I've already done, then move it to my PC and perform a factor reset, then moving the back up back to the phone.

I know this post is quite old, but for those unaware, if you have TWRP installed and need to manually access Recovery Mode; you will get a prompt to Factory Reset your phone. Just click "Yes" and it will reboot the phone back into TWRP. I have done this several times and my phone has never been factory reset.
Just thought I'd share!

This only works if you have TWRP installed via the Bump! method! If you do this if you don't have TWRP installed, you're going to wipe your system
If you want to get to the stock recovery/download mode follow these instructions: http://www.ninjaromeo.com/download-mode-lg-g3/
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.

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.
Right out of the RetailBox (with stockRom) I couldn't reboot into recovery using the "VolumeUp+Home+PowerButton" step...
Even now after installing a custom rom and twrp recovery I can't do the hardbutton action ("VolumeUp+Home+PowerButton") to get into the "recovery"
so whats the hiccup here? someone plz

now though, after installing IronRom .zip through twrp, it won't reboot anymore, it is stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab S powered by android" starting screen.
Now I want to simply to the hardbutton reboot into recovery step, since i cant access it otherwise... but it doesn't react.

(My customRom already has multiple shutdown and restart option... thats how i've been operating.)
But once one is stuck somewhere and can't get to the system level (like boot loop or whatnot) it would be great to enter the recovery anyway... thx

You can enter recovery any time you want, you just need to do it right.
Hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until the screen goes blank then immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons until recovery boots.

Just signed in to say thanks for this, but for some reason I had to do it slightly differently. I was on stock 5.0.2 and trying to boot into recovery (Power+Volume UP+Home would start Samsung splash screens and then go black without ever booting into Recovery) so my solution was:
Shutdown Tab S, then hold down Power+Volume DOWN+Home (as though to get into Download mode) and then immediately after pressing that initially, I pressed Volume UP while still holding Power+Home.
Problem solved.
