Stuck in fastboot mode..HELP - Verizon LG G2

Not sure what the heck happened but I went to reboot into recovery mode and got the fastboot mode started and udc start message in the upper left corner. I connected my phone to my laptop and a bunch more text popped up with the last saying fastboot processing commands.
What the heck do I do now??

Long press the power button and see if your phone will restart.

Tried that and now i am stuck at the LG boot screen. No matter what button combo i press it just goes to that screen. I can't even get into download mode.

What app did you use to try and update the recovery? All you had to do was flash the zip in recovery to update it.

some app called root flashr. a friend said that he used it to flash a recovery zip file so I figured it was legit.
Apparently not haha.
I've been scouring the web for a fix and have tried everything, nothing gets me off the lg boot screen.

Yeah its really screwed something up.
? If you can't into recovery or download mode, the only thing I can suggest is maybe sending it in to the LG service center. If it goes into fastboot they can fix it probably. Sorry I don't know what else that might help.

I called verizon and gave them a sob story, they're overnighting me a refurb!! Guess I'll take that vs a bricked phone haha.

@mpetruzz Lol. Yeah, as long as they don't somehow get it into recovery and see it was rooted you'll be fine.
And don't listen to that friend next time. Lol Root it, use Auto-Rec to get TWRP 2.7 on there, then PM me for links if you can't find dr87's custom TWRP 2.7.1

Force Reboot Recovery/Download

Is there a file in the android system that, sort of like an autoexec.bat, lists what to do on startup? For example forcing the system into recovery or download on power on?
I flashed the latest Vibrant firmware and did so with the option to repartition, which Im now finding out was not the right way to flash this one.
Long story short, it didnt contain the dbdata directory information and now, I am unable to boot and unable to get to download. I still have ADB access, it just isnt responding to ADB reboot download, it just comes right back up booting into recovery to flash the last stage of odin before it starts up.
Is there a way to force the phone back into download mode or force it to stop rebooting into recovery?
Pull battery out and USB to use the hardware buttons to manually get into download mode?
P.S. wrong forum
Aren't there some apps that can do that? I do it manually but like you said its not working for you, p.s im downloading that firmware

Manual buttons arent seemingly working, so far ive tried every conceivable combination of vol up down and power, even if all I do is plug the phone in Im back in recovery before the battery turns green.
(ps. I know, but I had a billion percent better chance not getting a mouthbreather response, despite the definite chance of flame posts lol)

Have you successfully gotten into Download mode with hardware buttons before? Or are you one of those vibrants with "locked download?"
I have a feeling mines locked, Ive never used the buttons to successfully get into download mode, just adb reboot download
EDIT: Tried the posts suggestions, problem is second I plug in the USB and the battery pops up it goes right to recovery. Even if im holding the buttons before hand.

x_x don't know what to tell you then. With locked hardware, you have to be really careful because if something goes wrong you cant manually get back in there. Do you have Clockwork Recovery? try restoring to a previous nandroid backup.

I was working with that a bit, but it just kept getting to datadata and being unable to wipe or flash to it due to the odin botch. I tried wiping it clean and it just wouldnt let me do that to reflash.
So now im stuck at the samsung recovery screen without the ability to get into clockwork or flash lol
This smells like 130 bucks for a new phone I think... brick number two >.>

I didnt! But when I was formatting and it failed to reapply the nandroid completely cause of the section it couldnt mount, now when I hit reinstall packages it just reboots. Same with shell, it just yells at me and tells me to die in a fire.
if you didnt figure this out, the way to fix it is to first flash WITH ODIN the original JVD firmware and check repartition, then flash the new one IN ODIN without the repartition box checked.
first update includes the dbdata that the phone is looking for.
Yeah, I figured it out now, but Odin is seriously the devil if your phone doesnt have the hardware buttons enabled.
Now heres a question, if I can still get into stock recovery... is there a way to like, you know, recover using the stock system? lol
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS that Tmo is letting me warranty out my phone for free, shipping me a new one, and gave me a loner while I wait.
TMo for the win.

lol looks like you and I are in the same boat man. Hardware lock FTMFL. I have never been able to get into download mode, or recovery mode with the hardware keys, only with adb reboot recovery/download and terminal emulator app with SU privs. I wish there was a jumper we could reset to unlock it haha that'd be the s*# son. Good old pentium 133 in the palm of the hands, but no . Atleast they are taking care of the people who don't do things properly.
I did the same thing and ended up with the same problem, but i was able to get in into download mode. When i would plug it in it would try to boot into recovery after the battery screen i would use the keys to make it boot to download mode instead of recovery, it was a *****, but i got it, though idk if there is another way for people with locked down phones.

Droid 3 Stuck at M Logo - Bricked?

Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurb Droid 3 after my old one had the backlight go out, I hand't had a chance to bootstrap it and put ICS on it. But I was able to get it rooted. I restarted my phone today and ever since it has been stuck at the M logo screen and I've tried everything I can find to remedy this.
I updated this morning to the most recent OTA update (5.7.906 I believe) and then rooted it.
To fix the issue I've tried a few different things. I tried Pete's SBF to 5.7.890 but I was getting an error about the cbt.bin file. I found that with the recent changed to 5.7.906 you aren't able to directly flash over it to go back to 5.7.890. I then found another post on here which had a script to go back to 5.7.890 from 5.7.906. I ran that and still had the same result.
Any other ideas or anything that I am missing?
I can get into fastboot, I've been using the scripts with moto-fastboot. Normal boot is just leaving me at the M logo, booting into recovery yields the same result.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no clue what else I can do at this point...
seems like a soft brick... should be fixable...
With the phone off, hold me, then the power button... then go down to BT TOOLS and select it ( volume up is the select button _ so when u do that it doesnt go to it?

Your 1 Click SBF ran fine and completed without errors but I'm still getting the same result, stuck at M logo.
Is there something I could be missing which is making it not boot that most SBFs don't include? That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

I'm fairly certain that could work, if I could ever get into the Stock recovery....I'm not able to boot into anything. Going to try a few other things, if nothing else works I'll just take it in and see if I can get yet another warranty replacement.
Thanks for the responses, if you have any other ideas just let me know.
I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that I need to be able to get into recovery and then I will be set to fix it. Right now it just sits at the M logo for Recovery (and any other options from the boot menu).

3.41 bootloader info from google support

Well I decided to call Google about the boot loader recovery not working as it should. I was hoping this call would help them to work on another update but they say that's the way its supposed to work. Here's the email Instructions:
1. Power down your device
2. Press and hold both volume keys and the power button to enter
Bootloader mode
3. Press the volume keys to cycle to the Recovery mode option
4. Press the power button to select Recovery mode
5. From the Recovery mode screen, press and hold the Power button then
press the Volume up button.
6. Use the volume buttons to select wipe data/factory reset.
7. Select Yes -- delete all user data.
8. The factory data reset process will now start. Once its finished,
select 'Reboot system now.'
The only option we have in the new recovery is to wipe data. Maybe for those having problems accessing twrp or cwm will be able to a access it with step 5. I don't know haven't rooted yet. So I decided to ask about nvflash and they said they're not going to release any nvflash tools or files.
um, yup. thats how stock bootloader and stock recovery work. lol
whats the issue? if your not even rooted, you wouldn't even know if you have an issue or not with the new bootloader.
Are you saying that you can't flash a different recovery? Or that when you do you still get the same stock recovery? I'm not quite sure what the issue is here, because that is exactly how the stock bootloader, and recovery are supposed to work.
Are you making sure to unlock fastboot before trying to flash recovery. I don't recall seeing or hearing anyone say anything about not being able to get to clockwork mod once its installed.

No. I saw people posting they couldn't get go cwm and could only see the red exclamation point. And I was just saying maybe after choosing recovery then holding volume up and power it would then go to cWm or twrp. I was hoping for someone to try it who is still on 3.41 Recovery. A lot of people downgraded back to 3.39 or whatever version it was

I can confirm that to get in to the stock recovery you hold down 'power' and then tap 'vol up'.
At present I am running the latest CWM touch recovery. This boots straight into it from the bootloader without any extra button presses.
My personal preference to go into CWM is from either QuickBoot or ROM Manager.

I wonder why some on 3.41 can't go straight to twrp and some can. Sorry for the ahole comment I thought you were trying to be a smartass towards me. I'm just trying to find out as much info from people before I root. I am experienced at flashing and a little adb but I just read a lot of HELP BRICKED MY NEXUS posts. Did you use wugs toolkit or adb to unlock and root?

When I first flashed TWRP onto my Nexus 7 after that official 4.1.2 OTA update, I wasn't able to boot into it. I then flashed it again via fastboot, and then booted the TWRP image that was on my computer, and then TWRP loaded.
I believe TWRP does work normally now as well (I can boot into it and reboot into it).

Well if I was you I'd just use mskips toolkit, its absolutely epic it'll save you a lot of farting around. I take it that your fully updated? ( Not that it matters) You seem to know and understand your way around adb so just go for it and enjoy.
Its works smooth as silk and save you a lot off time. The options available to you are just staggering!

No need for personal insults, lets just try to help each other out and show each other some respect.​
going to recovery from bootloader works fine after 3.41.....wat r u talkin abt? (i m stock rooted+twrp)
oh yea...u hav 2 remove that recovery stock.p file thingy first.
There are plenty of people that are having issues with recovery on 3.41 bootloader.... Its confirmed some have it some don't.
The issue is that with 3.41 bootloader on some Nexus 7 Devices a custom recovery is unbootable no matter how you try, every time it will try to load recovery and fail at a black screen then reboot into the OS. It does not matter how you try from ADB reboot to recovery or from bootloader with USB attached or not.

In your system folder there's a file called 'recovery-from-boot.p'
Go into a file manager with w/r access and rename it ' recovery-from-boot.p.bak'
When the system boots it reads that file and resets the recovery to stock, by changing the name you remove the problem.

[Q] Verizon LG G2 Flashed TWRP using flashify, can't get into recovery?

Hi All-
I spent several hours trying to get ADB to work on my Verizon LG G2, nothing worked (device not connected error). So I flashed the latest TWRP for the Verizon LG G2 from the Android Development section using Flashify. I can get into recovery using an app, but I can't manually get into recovery using the rear buttons. I power off, hold the power and volume down buttons..then when LG comes up I hold them again and the phone just reboots. I have tried this a thousand ways, and I can't manually get into recovery (which scares me). It seems everyone else is able to do this, maybe do I need to reflash recovery using the ADB method if I can get it to work? I can get into it now through the OS and make backups, I am just worried I will flash a rom and NOT be able to do that. Any ideas what I can do to manually get in?
Thanks-
Sean
I'm on my phone now but had the same problem.
Flashify was the culprit.
Change computers and find the thread asking for a video of how to install TWRP. I followed the instructions and it worked.

Try holding volume down + power
Immediately when LG appears let go of both and ONLY hold onto power, should boot into option to factory reset
Hit power button 3 times to continue, then itll load twrp
let me know if this works.

Was stuck in boot loop could not get into recovery.
I was having a similar issue - tried to flash TWRP using flashify and got to a point where I could load into my ROM fine, but nothing I tried would get me into recovery mode - the phone would just show a couple lines of text and then a black screen. Fortunately I still had adb access and used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 (along with youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZSjL6FCyxA).
Using this stuff I was finally able to flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, and from there I had a stable recovery to work with. 2.6.3.2 and 2.6.3.3 did not work for me when trying to flash with Loki, but 2.6.3.1 did. Not sure what the deal was there, but I was probably doing something dumb.

Thanks! I ended up downloading FreeGee from the Play store & flashing TWRP the way. Worked and booted into recovery. Still seems weird to me that flashify would make you go to the permanent reset function and say yes.
That's how it works with a locked boatloader. Pretty common.
Thank you

Flashify
I tried Flashify and it didn't work...It didn't flash the recovery img i selected that was placed on the sdcard. I saw a post about FreeGee on the first couple of pages of this thread and gave it a try. I was very happy that it worked on the first try...
Freegee worked great for me also. Flashify did not.

I have try to root with odin and cf autoroot and all work fine, then I have installed twrp for 815 5.0.2 version. After the installation the tablet restart on recovery mode, I try to make a backup and twrp works good but at the restart the tablet is in bootloop.
I can’t shut down. I can only access download mode and not recovery mode.
I have flashed the original firmware with odin and odin says PASS but at the restart it is bootloop again. I try to flash twrp again and odin says PASS, after this I can read on the start screen (the only one I can see) “recovery is not nandroid enforced”. I tried different firmware but nothing work.
Someone can help me?
Grazie 1000
Boot into recovery POWER +HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
Wipe data. If that doesn't work then factory reset.
Thanks for the answer. I try more than 100 time but it don't go in recovery mode. I tried to complete discharging and then recharging with the buttons pushed. Nothing. Every time it's stuck in the start screen and i can't shut down.

Not possible.
Try booting to Download mode then hit CANCEL then immediately hold HOME + VOL DOWN + POWER make sure you hold the buttons in that order and you must be quick.

Hi All!
I would like to share with you how I fix the preblem after root of my T815.
After long night and reading whole net I found the solution.
As you I also wants to root my device because of availible only one user. I wanted to have multiusers. So folowing the instructions downloading all software and after root I got bootloop. Trying everithing but no success. I wasn't able to flash even some of the stock ROMs.
Solution:
I found in Sammobile what is my current ROM and downloaded it. Then flash - no any problems. Went smooth. Then I root the device... and now I have rooted device with multiuser support.
It seems that after fresh flash everithing is OK. It seems that after you playing with your device for a while you enabled some options thats make your device to loop after root.
I wish you Happy New Year!

Whoops sorry, I completely forgot to come back to you about this!
Glad you got it sorted.

It was a late night for me last night and working late again tonight.
If I get the opportunity after work I'll get something up, but if not it may be tomorrow on my day off.
