I've been trying to root this phone and I was trying to flash it with a modified boot.img which I did, but now the phone just keeps on restarting. It briefly shows the splashscreen and then reboots again. I can't seem to connect to it via adb, I also tried using the Lenovo recovery tool but it can't seem to connect to the phone. I found that by pressing the down and up buttons it takes a lot longer to reboot. I see the splashscreen and then it goes to black for a while, and then reboots. If you have any idea what could I try I'll really appreciate it!

Hold the volume down button, and press the power button.
This should get you back to the bootloader screen, then LMSA should detect the device.

Thanks! Can't seem to make it work though. I assume I only press the power button once right? I have tried several combinations to no avail.

Well, it can be a little tricky.
You should be able to press and hold both Power and Volume Down buttons, till you see the bootloader screen.
But I usually have better luck if I hold the volume down button, and only press the power button till it seems to be powering down before rebooting.
also can try doing this while connected to PC or wall charger.

Are you 100% sure I don't need to also press the upper button from that same row right? Because for booting into fastboot without using the command was by pressing those three buttons at the same time. I've been trying both ways with no luck still.

I'm sorry, it's a Moto G20 X2128-1.
Yay finally managed to do it! For the record I only had to use the volume down key and plug the usb cable to the pc just at the right time (right about the splash screen disappears). Guess I'll wait until someone post the exact method to gain root. Thanks @sh_shadow!

Did you verify that the version you had on the device, was the same version LMSA downloaded?
If LMSA had a newer or older build number, the boot.img may cause a bootloop

Yes, it was obtained through LMSA so I'm not sure exactly what was the problem. I side effect I'm facing now is that the phone takes forever to start, quite weird!
EDIT: The only thing I can think of is that I flashed boot on fastbootd, maybe I should have flashed it on the bootloader.

No, LMSA downloads the newest build on that server.
That doesn't mean it's the same build number that's on your device.
If it's a different build number you need to flash the lmsa version, or the boot.img may not boot correctly.

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.

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. :/

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.

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.

This is a longshot but since you dont have warranty you might give it a try.
Remove the back of the phone (there are tutorials on youtube for "disassembling ascend P6") and then remove the battery inside. Afterwards connect the phone to your ac charger, and retry to force update (power button while holding vol + and - buttons).
I really dont know if this works, but when i bricked my other huawei phone (u8800) where the battery was removable I managed to restore it using the aforementioned method..
Best of luck!
I had same problem last week, press volume up/down when phone boot. and keep pressing those buttons.
Dosnt work every time.. download firmware first and add it to external sd/dload folder..
i think i lost my stock recovery, i dont know why but i think that happened, but can anyone tell if the loss of the recovery will lead to the failure of force update? (in my case it won't start at all just stuck at logo)
if that happened i might try reflashing stock recovery with fastboot
ok i tried to flash stock recovery via fastboot, but the problem is my pc only reads my device when i connect it to it then hold power and vol - buttons till it reboots, then my pc reads it as an adb interface but it shows that it failed to install device drivers although i already installed the usb drivers and updated google usb drivers from android sdk, and everytime i try to flash recovery via adb (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) it stuck with waiting for device
it seems its not recognized properly, am i hard bricked? :crying:
same problem with ascend mate
hi,
I have the same exact problem with my ascend mate mt1. its always stuck to ascend logo. when I press power button and hold cannot turn off. always turn on by itself. if I press volume down and power button, my computer can recognize it as fastboot. drivers can install no problem. can see the device when I type fastboot devices. when I try to install recovery with fastboot I always get that error says "not allowed". tried sd card update with press volume up + down no luck, also tried it with removing the battery but same. I think its hard bricked or something if you find a solution please let me know.
Thanks a lot !

also did u tried different recoveries it may be bad recovery file

thanks for the fast reply. when I connected via fastboot its doesn't shows the serial numbers. its shows like question mark instead of serial number.

Just to make it clear once again :: Press and Hold Volume Up, Home and Power ---- Recovery
Press and Hold Volume Down, Home and Power --- Download mode. Please try these steps
after removing and reinserting the battery. Just to make sure your key presses are registered
properly. Check to see those keys are not flush into the frame. If so then go to service centre
and have them fix it.

Maybe your phone is carrier model. If that is so, then the bootloader is unlocked.

Hi, I'm having a major problem getting into recovery via the power-on+vol-down key combination on MM (20A/20B) - under no circumstances can I get into recovery from cold boot - I can reboot into TWRP recovery when the phone's booted, but recently I've had a couple of bootloops which never enter the OS and so I'm stuffed - both times all I could do is use LGUP to reflash 20B kdz and then re-root etc etc. I'm assuming under MM the key sequence has changed, or is it because I have an unlocked bootloader the sequence is different? I've owned a G2 and G3 and know the "normal" sequence of hold power+vol-down, wait for the LG logo and release then power+vol-down again, but this doesn't seem to work on a Marshmallow G4 (I've tried 100 times with different wait periods on the release etc)....
Its a real PITA not being able to cold boot into TWRP/recovery so can someone advise what the sequence now is (and PLEASE don't reply to tell me its "hold power+vol-down, wait for the LG logo and release then power+vol-down again"!).
Thanks!
I have the same issue and I had been running into same situation to entirely reflash my phone in order to get it boot again. The key combination never worked for me while on 20B; really frustrating if you run into whatever problems requiring to recover through TWRP and not being able to do so.
key combination working me....
If not
adb reboot recovery
Or if phone rooted.

And it never came to your mind, that maybe the entry to recovery might be different to an LG G3 or G2?
The way to enter recovery is:
Hold Vol- and Power until LG Logo appears
Release ONLY Power button for 1 sec
Then press it again and hold it
Recovery entered
I guess google can save lifes And nerves!!!!
Cheers bro
EDIT: Btw this has nothing to do with Marshmallow, Lollipop etc. It's the usual way to enter recovery on a G4 And I didn't read the OP entirely. It seems like you just had the wrong sequence. This one works for me on Masrhmallow 20B!

You're very welcome! I have to admit, that it's really stupid to change it slightly from model to model, yeah :laugh:
I had to google it myself and needed several attempts to get it right. But now we both know and we can enter recovery whenever we want :good: Merry Christmas and a happy new year bro

And it never came to your mind, that maybe the entry to recovery might be different to an LG G3 or G2?
The way to enter recovery is:
Hold Vol- and Power until LG Logo appears
Release ONLY Power button for 1 sec
Then press it again and hold it
Recovery entered
I guess google can save lifes And nerves!!!!
Cheers bro
EDIT: Btw this has nothing to do with Marshmallow, Lollipop etc. It's the usual way to enter recovery on a G4 And I didn't read the OP entirely. It seems like you just had the wrong sequence. This one works for me on Masrhmallow 20B!

Thanks for your heads-up. Unfortunately if i try this combination a screen appears "Factory data reset" asking "No (Exit)" or "Yes".
Now I would assume if I enter "Yes" it would boot into recovery, but I am not sure whether this will completely wipe my phone.
Can anyone confirm that I´m on the right path here?

Hold on. There are 2 options. If you installed recovery properly (I bet you did), indeed, clicking on "yes" will boot you into recovery. If you're a monkey, just like I was, and DIDN'T install recovery properly, yes, it will just wipe your data.
But that's the usual way to hardware-button-boot into recovery
How did you install it? There's an easy way to check if everything is set up correctly. Use this app to boot into your recovery from within android.
If it boots you into recovery then everything is set up straight and you can boot into recovery with hardware buttons a 100% by clicking "yes" and "yes" in the "stock" recovery.
EDIT: I know that's an awkward way, but it's the right 1 Cheers

Hi all,
Have a brand new (to me) v500 that i bought and was able to root, flash twrp, and flash crdroid on yesterday. Today i flashed standard AOSP but now i'm stuck in a bootloop and cant figure out how to access twrp any more. Previously with crdroid on it i was accessing the bootloader/twrp via an app. So far all i can get to come up using hardware buttons is the download mode, and ADB isn't recognizing the device.
Any advice? I tried following a guide to revert to stock using the LG Support Tool but cant find the R&D tools to complete the tutorial.
Any help is appreciated.
Bump - $10 USD to whoever can help me solve this first
To enter twrp via buttons on v500:
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 to make factory reset, but instead you enter twrp

Using that combination of buttons doesnt bring up any menus, i see the LG logo and then either holding the power button shuts down the tablet or it tries booting into Android, which then loops.

Thanks for the link, so far i havent been able to get my computer to recognize the usb connection when in download mode. I'm using the OEM cable and downloaded the drivers in the LG Flash Tool thread, but no luck.

b0li gave an invalid TWRP entry instruction.
Read How to enter recovery mode using key combination post #2.
In TWRP, do advanced wipe without internal storage.
Before you flash the ROM, check its checksum carefully to see if it is identical to the one on the server.

I tried the corrected key combination, but no menus pop up, I either hold the power and vol up/down buttons until the device turns itself off, or it boots to the Android logo and then loops.

It turns off because you hold 3 keys and don't release them.
You must press them simultaneously and then release them immediately.

That did the trick, can't believe it was just because i wasn't pressing the keys exactly right. I was able to get back into TWRP and reflash the ROM so now everything is working. Still having trouble getting usb to recognize the device, so i can't flash anything else on there at the moment.
PM me your paypal or venmo

Perhaps the problem is not the usb socket or cable.
Blow out the socket with compressed air and try again.
If that doesn't work, then your OS may be a problem.
In this case, try [LIVE-ISO][FWUL]adb/fastboot without any installation and driver issues.
I tried another computer too, same result - the tablet recognizes the connection so it starts charging, and despite the USB settings in dev options being set for MTP, it doesn't connect.
I'll try your link later, but it seems like its a problem with the tablet compared to computer.

You can always transfer data using microSD or via WiFi tethering.
If via WiFi, I recommend the SwiFTP server - simple and reliable.
I tried to update Lineage and am running into an issue now where as soon as the LG logo pops up, a message that says "Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify" pops up almost immediately so I can't use the hardware buttons to get into TWRP. Any ideas around this one? Thanks again all!
