Hi - I'm new to the LG forum on XDA, so please bear with me (coming from HTC).
I just received the Pie update on my LG G7 ThinQ via T-Mobile's OTA update, and wanted to boot into recovery to reset the cache (delete cache partition). Yes, I don't think Pie has one of those.
The problem is that the device doesn't seem to have an actual recovery anymore - when I use the Vol - with Power button combo - just reboots.
When I use ADB, it booted into a "sorta" recovery but said something like "no commands available."
Any ideas here?
Thanks in advance!
Holy ****. It's actually available - I can confirm.
No commands available screen try vol+ or - and power button? Pretty sure

Hello,
I unlocked the bootloader on my LG G4, flashed TWRP and then using TWRP flashed a SuperSU plus a new bootloader for Android M along with the Android M system etc...
The phone is now stuck in a bootloop.
I can no longer get in to TWRP and can get into download mode very briefly before the phone reboots again. My PC can not detect the phone at all.
Can anyone help? Have a feeling I've hard bricked the phone
Thanks, Ben
i have the same issue

Hello Everyone. Someone has got news? Cause my lg g4 stuck on the same issue.
I unlock bootloader and try to install twrp. Via fastboot flash command twrp doesn't seem to get installed. So i try to boot in twrp and then install the img to the recovery partition. All seemed to go fine. When i try to reboot to recovery twrp ask me to root the device. Why not? I leave twrp installs superSu (I think this was my mistake). Now I've a continuous bootloop, even if I simply plug it to the charger. Vol down + Power buttons neither vol up + power doesn't work.
Sorry for bad english
I think one way is to disconnect the battery by disassembling the phone(check Google), then reconnect it and boot to recovery using the correct key combinations. I hope it works.It worked for me.
Install the LGUP tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
Install both file.
Download the kdz files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64298942&postcount=6
This V20A MM, for 5.1 or v20b you have to search.
Power down your phone.
Push and hold Volume Up and then plug the phone via USB to your PC.
The Phone enter the download mode.
Start LGUP, select the KDZ file.
If you choose "upgrade" all data will be obtain, if you choose "refurbish" all data will be lost.
I suggest "refurbish" because for me "upgrade" dont work without fc and system carshes.
Wait around 5 minutes and your G4 is back with MM, clean and fresh.
Thanks hannsheinz for the reply.
I solved this night in this way (very similar to your suggestion):
- I downloaded and installed LG Bridge from the official website.
- I pull out the battery to power off the device.
- I reinsert the battery in the device, without power it on.
- I plug in the usb while pressing volume up button.
- The device entered the download mode and LG Bridge recognized it.
- I press "update error recovery" in Lg Bridge (bottom right in the Software update tab).
- The procedure will take a while according to your pc and internet connection.
- At the end my G4 "breathed again and still breathing"
Very similar to what hannsheinz suggested.
Thanks to all
Hello guys!,
Sorry If this is a re-post but to be honest I didn't find the solution to my problem in this forum.
So, I have an LG G3 D855 Lollipop 5.0 rooted, with TWRP and flashed ARM sdk21 in order to be able to use Xposed framework and, guess what? right, BOOTLOOP!. Believe me, I read many threads about HOW to access recovery mode or something else and found no quick solution for this problem. ALL that I found was to hard reset to factory settings, to use LG pc suite, flash stock firmware guide, etc, etc. I didn't want to go all the way back to Zero (loosing root), I wanted a quick fix and I found it.
If you get a bootloop (can't get passed LG logo), follow this:
1. Turn off your phone (remove the battery)
2. Put back the battery & close the cover
3. Press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons together and release them when you see the LG logo on your LG’s screen
4. You must press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons ONCE AGAIN until you see the ‘Hard reset screen
5. Press the Power button twice in order to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone WON'T hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.
6. From your recovery you can try another framework or just to reset to factory settings.
I got most of the steps from here: http://androidflagship.com/9966-enter-recovery-mode-lg-g3
In my case, I chose another framework (SDK21) and it booted fine without reset anything. The xposed didn't work but I don't mind, I just wanted my cell phone to be working fine with everything installed before trying framework.
If for some reason you can't still get passed from Logo screen, you can check these methods:

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to try to recover an LG D680 smartphone. I have a weird problem with it. It used to get stuck on LG's Logo boot. I used Download Mode and LG Mobile Tool to fix it and update it. Everything was ok but 1 month later this happened again, but this time it cannot get fixed.
I tried to reinstall software through KDZ and flash tools (2014) in Normal and CSE mode. I tried Iusacell (AT&T) images (V10A_, V10B_, V20A_ and V20B_) wich are Jelly and Kitkat versions of images. Last I tried to reinstall with V20A_ Factory Free image and still problem, but now there's another problem. It seem that there are not really hardware issues since device is correctly recognized in Windows System, can enter Download Mode, LG Flash Tool can still manipulate hardware (Install, reboot and finish install). The new problem is that even after reinstalling any of the images it keep looped and stuck at the "Android Hard Reset" icon, the one of the Android with the red triangle.
I tried using fastboot and adb but devide is not recognized by fastboot device even after installing drivers.
Is there another way to completely wipe ROM and install System and Boot clean? I already have system.img and boot.img files, but can't find a way to do this nor what I do works.

If it is looping on LG's boot animation, then you should boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset from there - saved me from sending my E988 to service last time I flashed stock. Try one of these recovery combos: Vol Up + Power, Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, Vol Up + Home + Power, one of those should work. My E988 uses Vol Up+ Power - have to press both while device is powered off, and keep them pressed until capacitive buttons flash twice. Not sure how will that work on D680 though (is that a G Pro Lite?)

Yep! It's an G Pro Lite. I'm still trying some of th combinations. What is stock recovery? Should it show more options than just hard reset?

If it's anypart similar to ones found on E98x, it will have only hard reset, update install and reboot options. I really don't know much about Lite series, probably there is more info about recovery in their subforum here.
Hi guys,
I just recently bought a Z2 Force EU model (XT1789-06) and thought i better get it unlocked and rooted a.s.a.p.
The first order of work was to boot it up and perform an update to the latest updates available (November 2018, IIRC).
Following the update and after making sure there weren't any more updates, i proceeded to unlock the bootloader using the official Motorola method and it was successful.
I then copied over SuperSU-v2.82.zip to storage and downloaded twrp-3.2.3-2-nash.img to my PC.
I followed this guide in order to run TWRP and root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/oreo-nougat-how-to-root-z2-t3756669
After installing SuperSU and rebooting the phone, the Motorola logo was displayed and stayed there for a while. I remembered the verbose logs after installing SuperSU syaing that first boot could take a long time.
I didn't risk rushing anything so i left the phone and planned on picking up where i left off the next day. It has now been 14 hours since the phone rebooted and it is still stuck at the Motorola logo.
I have tried to power it down by holding the power key but that does not work. I could only force it to react by holding down vol down + pwr button, then doing the same again to enter the bootloader.
I then tried to do a factory reset by performing the following:
vol down + pwr button > select recovery mode > hold pwr 2 seconds then vol up > Wipe data/factory reset > reboot
I am now back to a stuck boot procedure at the Motorola logo I did some more reading and found many threads explaining the procedure and what to look out for.
It seems like my safest bet now is to avoid SuperSU and install Magisk instead. However, before I attempt to root again, I would like to have the phone boot up normally again.
Would a kind sould please point me in the right direction of a guide that can help me out of this mess?
Please note, I am already using the latest software update version.
EDIT: Software is 8.0.0/OPXS27.109-34-17
fastboot --set-active=other
fastboot reboot
Take the update again then flash magisk after rebooting from the update.
What happens? You are swapping slots back to a working bootable slot, then updating to the latest update to fix the broken slot. Once it is fixed, follow the rooting procedure and flash magisk 16.7 or higher in TWRP and reboot. (Be sure to fastboot boot TWRP and not flash)
Hey
I installed the recent upgrade to my OP 5T and now the phone is not getting switched on, only the 1+ logo appears on pressing the power button and soon after it gets switched off.
I have tried the 'Volume Up + Power' button combination and fastloader screen appears, i tried to enter recovery mode but it just gets switched off after the 1+ logo when i select recovery mode.
OP5T_Unbrick_tool_dumpling ... not working:
The battery is getting charged normally and this is an android upgrade issue. I am a newbie, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
A possibility could be that you tried to do stock update local method through twrp or custom recovery... That's similar to what happened on mine when I did that on the first beta 10 update. If so I flashed latest stock recovery through the fastboot menu by plugging into computer and using ADB fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery" minus brackets and dragged the recovery over and pressed enter.
It appears to do it as the update launched some sort of boot script but can't be carried out without stock recovery leading to a sort of boot loop.
Also I found while trying to fix this if I updated from a ROM where it didn't have treble support or wiped the vendor (I did when panicking lol). I had to firstly install the stock ROM that introduced treble then install the beta 10 update.
Sorry if that was all pointless or irellivent but hope you get ur problem fixed soon.
