I bought a unlocked and rooted AT&T LG Optimus G E970 from ebay. I tried to install CMW/TWRP recovery on it by adb and fastboot commands. When I typed "adb devices" the device model and serial number message showed on PC. But when I typed "adb reboot bootloader" or I manually press Volume+ and power key same time it couldn't be going to fastboot mode anyway. It just going to Android system. What is correct method and how do I do to get it into fastboot mode so that I will able to install recovery package? Is there any way to check bootloader? However, I read some different instrutions online for manually rebooting device to fastboot mode. I don't know what is right instruction for my phone. Thanks a lot!

Unlocked and unlocked bootloader are not the same thing. You can download the Feegee app from the market and then unlock the bootloader and install a recovery all in one go.

i tried to flash a recovery and it didnt work and the phone is stuck in fastboot mode
use this
BUT, before you even do a thing, know that you have to use the files that are meant for your phone (you need the recovery and usb drivers meant for your phone; i believe you can use the other files)

My phone can't get to emergency mode and stuck in fastboot mode i have rooted my phone and backed up rom rebooted phone and went straight to fastboot mode what do i do
lg optimus c
Yes the tut didn't work for my phone. for some reason its not being recognized by the fastboot shell nor adb shell. I'd assume its completely bricked ? thanks for all the help.
My phone was not recognized by neither fastboot nor adb while in fastboot mode. "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" generated no result. Nevertheless, the following command worked flawlessly
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
So, it seems that it's not necessary for the phone to show up in adb or fastboot.
I am very new to this, I rooted my Moto G4 and now I need to download SUHide in order to play Pokemon Go. When I try to enter recovery via my fastboot/abd folder I get a < waiting for any device > message. When I hold down the power + volume down button my phone just turns on as normal without entering bootloader even though my bootloader is unlocked. I tried downloading an app that loads recovery for me but when I tried that I got a "no command" screen with a little green robot.
From what I've read, it's possible I didn't flash my trwp properly? I don't know how this is possible since I just rooted my phone. I would appreciate some help, I'm afraid to take any random guesses at the risk of ruining my phone. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious or not giving enough info, I'm not very tech savvy.

Try power plus volume up button to go to fastboot mode.
If it not working then connect your android to pc and enable adb. Type "adb devices" enter then type "adb reboot bootloader" and enter. It boots your android in fastboot mode.
If adb commands not working then install adb and fastboot drivers and try again.

In most devices, volume up + power boots up the recovery options, volume down + power boots the device into fastboot mode (volume buttons first plus power, pressing power button first would boot the device normally).

How did you install the custom recovery? Try flashing the recovery.img again (I'm guessing, since you have root, that you did not "flash" (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) TWRP but just "boot" (fastboot boot recovery.img) it and installed SuperSU).

Okay, so that did work, and I was able to enter fastboot mode. However, once I scrolled down to "recovery mode" and tried to enter, I got the same "no command" screen.

I used the official moto g4 root guide on this website to root my phone and I'm pretty sure I booted, not flashed, the recovery img (mine is named twrp-3.0.2-0-athene). So, I tried using the command you provided to flash the recovery img and I got a < waiting for any device > message in the command prompt. My phone is plugged in and my recovery img is in the adb / fastboot folder. Any idea what this means? Thank you for the help guys
edit: If it helps to know this, my phone has usb debugging enabled and it is recognized by my pc. I type adb devices and my moto g4 serial number does indeed show up.

If you are trying to flash twrp recovery on your android then rename your twrp to recovery.
Boot your android in fastboot mode,
Navigate to folder that you have recovery. Press shift and right click and click on open command here and type "fastboot devices" and enter
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It flash your recovery to your android.

Did all that, getting:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
Also, per the suggestion of other users on these forums, I tried to hold down power and press volume up during the "no command" screen after attempting to enter recovery. That sent me into Android Recovery but it's not the twrp platform I used when originally rooting my phone.
How did you unlock the bootloader? have you tried: fastboot oem unlock?
You need to "allow oem unlocking" on developer options (which I guess you already did). Then reboot in bootloader: (a) adb reboot bootloader. In fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader first: (b) fastboot oem unlock (or unlock-go). Then you can try to flash that recovery.img: (c) fastboot flash recovery "name of the file.img"
edit: fastboot oem unlock restores the device to factory settings. You need to configure and enable again "usb debugging" and "oem unlocking" (which are disabled by default). You can then proceed to fastboot flash
Hi, a few days ago I recieved the OTA notificacion to upgrade to Nougat so I tried unroot and reblock my bootloader, but after install the stock firmware with LGUP everything was fine but later when try to put into fast boot mode my phone just restart in normal mode.

thank you for your help my bootloader wasn't unlock it is now thanks a lot
It appears your device's bootloader is locked. Try:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
If that doesn't help, search for a guide on how to unlock bootloader for your specific brand.
It also looks like don't really know what you are doing. Make sure you are following trusted guide. If no, I'll be happy to help.

well i did installed custom roms few time but i dont know much, i did unlock bootloader now the problem is i do install custom recovery twrp and it do installed and rom manager shows that custom recovery is installed but pressing volume down + power button just shows fastboot logo and it restart my phone, and with command "
adb reboot bootloader" i am able to boot into fastboot mood and when i go to recovery from their it open stock recovery instead of twrp
Stolen from my guide:
7. Go into fastboot mode
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
10. fastboot reboot recovery
12. Sometimes recovery doesn't want to stick as a permanent one. To test it, hold the power button and select "Reboot to recovery". If you reboot to TWRP, you can move on, but if you reboot to stock one, flash recovery using fastboot again and from recovery flash recovery again (sounds crazy, right?). I won't give you instructions on this, research it yourself. Make sure guide you will find is for your device and your recovery.
Hello.
Today I updated from the Nord 5G to the Nord 2 5G.
DN2103_11_A.14
I have enabled developer mode, oem unlock and adb debug.
I can't access fastboot properly. And recovery is different from the previous Nord. There is no option to reboot to fastboot.
I use adb reboot-fastboot and I enter a sort of fastboot. It says:
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
The device is in fastboot mode which is only for debug Android devices. if you want to exit fastboot mode, please long press volume up nad power buttons simultaneously.
Phone is recognized in windows when in adb-mode (normal booted), but does not recognize it when in this new fastboot mode. Just an Android with an exclamation mark on.
Halp?

Don't own this device but try: "adb reboot bootloader" instead and test fastboot commands from there (don't navigate to Fasboot from bootloader).

This is normal behaviour with the OPN2 afaik. Your PC can access the USERDATA folder whilst in ADB mode (aka booted normally) and whilst in the recovery bios. Your pc CANNOT access the USERDATA folder when your phone is in fastboot, or at least I've never been able to on my Nord 2.
Your op didn't include what exactly you need help with. Everything you described is exactly intended behaviour. From my understanding your seem to have booted into fastboot mode, then noticed your PC can't access userdata. That's normal, you can still use fastboot commands and your PC is still connected to the phone. Your "My Computer" folder on PC not showing the phone shouldn't be any cause for alarm.
Now I'm starting to guess, because you might have failed to mention; Are you unable to send fastboot commands to your phone when its in fastboot mode?
Are you trying to flash a file?
What's the issue?

I am unable to send fastboot commands. Is not recognized by "fastboot devices". And this fastboot mode looks nothing like my previous phones. 2, X, 5T and Nord 5G. <waiting for device>
I want to do my "usual routine" with my new phones. Unlock, flash twrp or other recovery, and flash magisk for root.
After a "full wipe" of ADB and fastboot drivers, I reinstalled and got it working!
nothing. only recovery mode
vol down+ power =recovery mode
vol up + power = normal boot
I finaly boot into fastboot mode with adb command only (adb reboot bootloader)
With buttons wont work.
But i can't enable Volte/Vowifi (thats why i wanted to boot there).
Can you send adb commands when in recovery mode ?
I'm trying to enable VoLTE too, but adb only detect phone when powered normaly, not when in recovery mode.
i don't know about adb but in fastboot you can.
I can't enable volte/vowifi in fastboot with this commands.

Fastboot commands start with fastboot, those are adb commands.

Could you go into more detail on what you did in the entire process exactly? Did you use the drivers and adb install from the 15 sec installer? Did you simply uninstall them in the Windows Device Manager and click on "update drivers" to find the local drivers from the 15 sec installer? Which ones did you choose? Sorry, these might be dumb questions, but I'm admittedly very stupid when it comes to Windows and drivers in particular.
I did the exact thing I described above but I'm still just getting that message. Additionally, "fastboot devices" won't list anything and "fastboot oem unlock" will wait for the device for eternaty. "adb devices" on the other hand will list my device while not in Fastboot.
