Take out your battery for about 15 seconds or so. There may be some static buildup causing this.
And if you want to do a hard reboot, just press home and power together with the usb-cable connected. It might enter flashmode automatically, but it can't hurt to press the back-button when the screen goes black.
Thanks for the reply...
But none of the methods work. The phone doesn't hard reboot and i tried removing the battery for 30 seconds and nothing... doesn't work.
Is there a adb command to reboot into flashmode?

I don't believe there is an adb-command for that. Are all your buttons working properly? You can also enter CWM and choose reboot. Same thing, as soon as the screen goes black, hit and hold the backbutton, leave the usb-cable attached.
And make sure the program is asking for flashmode before you try entering it, otherwise it won't stick.
i will try it...
All the buttons is working 100% on system
EDIT:
i'm unlucky with this phone...
pressed reboot and then pressed back button... booted directly into system
these are the only ways to get into flash mode?
is it possible that my custom operator rom is blocking it in any way?

So, my Maxx suffered a power button failure and I should be receiving my warranty replacement from VZW sometime in the next day or two. Other than the power button not working, the phone is functioning fine. It reboots, runs normally, functions perfectly. I'm running .215 rooted and I want to return the phone back to stock before shipping it back. Problem is I can't access Boot Loader, no matter what I try. It's like it's not there anymore and when I command the phone into it using quick boot, adb, or the built-in menu, the phone just power cycles off. Let me try to explain:
I have Quick Boot installed and I can use it to boot into recovery without a problem. If I try to boot into Boot Loader, the phones powers off and stays off.
I've tried adb shell with the same results. I can connect to my PC and command the phone using shell commands but usin the 'adb reboot bootloader' command results in the same thing: phone power cycles off and stays off.
Even though my power button is AFU, I figured out I can still access the main recovery menu (the vol down to choose, vol up to select one) by holding down the vol up/down and plugging the phone into a charger. Same thing: power cycles off and stays off.
* Funny thing is although my power button doesn't work, I can still soft reset the phone by holding the power button in and vol down - which is what I need to do to exit recovery or other menus I need to input to a prompt using the power button.
Anyone know of this happening? MY guess is since my phone starts and functions normally otherwise, the boot loader is still there in some form. I just don't know how to access it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I can confirm this app will reboot bootloader

If there is no bootloader you won't be able to start your phone at all as its THAT what basically boots the whole hardware and software....
How about adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery commands ?

The bootloader being the phone's "bios" is kind of how I understood it so I'm figuring it's still gotta be there. I just can't seem to access it or get to the "device/battery OK, device disconnceted" menu. I tried adb reboot bootloader and got the same results: power cycle to off and stays off. adb reboot recovery works fine.
Knowing this phone is going to be turned back in, is there any other way I could re-install .211 without having access to the bootloader screen?

I posted a thread over at DroidRAZR.com and got some good feedback and troubleshooting help. It looks like the bottom line is the power button failed in the 'on' postion. One of the folks that replied to the DR thread caused his device to show the same 'AP Fastboot power-off' that I was getting by entering the 'Boot Mode Selection Menu' and holding the power button down while he vol+ to select AP Fastboot. It caused me to look a little closer at what the device was doing and that seems to be exactly what's going on - I powered th phone down using the Quick Boot app and was able to soft reset by holding down the vol- key by itself (didn't need to press power in conjunction). After it SR and i released the vol- key, the device rebooted by itself.
For your info, that thread is here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/3782-cant-access-boot-loader-menu-no-matter-what/
I tried working a thin piece of paper in around the button but no luck there.
Hi,
I own galaxy s3 i9000, currently on custom rom. My phone automatically rebooted and got stuck on bootloop. If I am able to enter in recovery mode, i can wipe cache(which may can help to get out of bootloop). But the problem is I am unable to enter into recovery mode because phone's volume up button is not working and my phone auto reboots every time after power off or reinserting battery. Is there any other way to clear cache or enter into recovery mode?
I dont want to flash my stock rom via odin (because i didnt backup my some important apps and msgs), this will be my last option.
sorry for my bad english
The normal way I get my phone into recovery mode from the PC is using ADB and the command: "adb reboot recovery". However, I bet this won't work in your case for one of several possible reasons: depending on when the bootloop occurs in the boot process, the phone may never reach a point where ADB is able to see your phone in the first place; if this is happening after a flashing a new custom ROM, then also it's unlikely that USB debugging is turned and the PC is not yet authorized to connect with it over ADB.
Another thought, could your power button be stuck down? I had a GS3 SCH-I535 several years ago and the power switch went bad on it, it would keep rebooting, shutting down randomly, or I'd be unable to turn on the screen. I had a switch replaced and it was fine after that. I don't think it's normal for the phone to automatically boot up when you reinsert the battery, that's why I bring that up. Maybe you can wiggle the power button a bit and try to unstick it if that's the case.
I tried to remove and stick back the power button again, but still it didnt worked. By the way fixing power button will not help me to get into recovery mode as my phone's volume up button is also not working, and recently I found out that I cant enter into download mode too because when I press respective buttons (volume down + home + power) for download mode, it gives warning msg to click 'volume up' buttton to enter into download mode or 'volume down' to reboot. Therefore again volume up button is required to enter into download mode too. So the only option remained for me is to visit service center and fix the volume up button.
I got a D618 and it suddenly turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it just bricked and keeps bootloop-ing. The phone is stuck on the LG logo and then the screen went off, then get back to the LG logo and suddenly the screen go off and so on.
Already tried Factory Reset but can't because of the LG logo-screen go off loop, also tried LG Tools but can't get into Recovery Mode.
Any help?
Have you tried pulling out the battery for a couple of seconds, then put it back and try the hard reset (aka factory reset) button combination?
To be honest that was the first thing I did.
I don't have TWRP as recovery, can't get into recovery mide either
How about download mode?

Can't either. When I tried to get into Download Mode the phone keeps doing the same, it's like the D618 keeps restarting once the LG logo appear
Do you have adb enabled on the device?
If not, then try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/general/guide-unbrick-bricked-wrong-aboot-img-t3128896
Honestly, I have never seen a bootloop that affects all boot modes...
Are you sure you got the hard reset and the download mode key combinations right?
Hard reset: Press and hold Vol- and Power, once the screen comes on, release Power for half a second, then hold both of them for a few seconds, until you see the hard reset menu.
Download mode: Make sure you have LG's drivers installed. Hold the Vol+ button, plug a data-enabled USB to your PC and your phone, all while holding the Vol+ button. Keep holding it until the phone enters download mode.

It's been 3 days and still the same.
The phone was working all right, I didn't flash a new ROM.
Yes, I tried all key combinations. Tried the hard reset key combination, it shows me the Factory Reset confirmation message but once I set YES it enter the bootloop again. Also tried the Download Mode, but once I get into the phone just restart and go into bootloop.

It is probably not the battery, but mine just let the phone reboot when it gets a little hot. There is no problem with the voltage in normal use.
hey, i've got a problem.
i'm running on Oreo 20r and installed Magisk using TWRP.
after rebooting, my device stucks in a bootloop.
is there any solution for my problem?
flashed magisk 17?
yes...
okay, actually I am currently stucked with the same issue too.
But I just got back my TWRP by doing following :
1) Boot into download mode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mycJDiFUPk)
2) Still in download mode, press and hold "vol down + power" (this time USB cable is still connected to PC and phone), it will reboot the phone, hold both button till you get in fastboot mode
3) once in fastboot mode, flash back TWRP as per unlocking guide
Now I am still in TWRP, hesitating what to do next. lol
Hope it helps a bit
it's not possible for me.
my device reacts to nothing... no keys, no recovery, no download mode
bootlooping like no tomorrow
maybe you can install KDZ-file using LGUP
or try to flash ZIP-file

I just clean flashed back Boombox 1.3 with magisk 16.0, so far booting up good.
I think you need to try again.
The download mode is a bit tricky, need to very fast hold long power button till off, once off, hold the vol up and connect the USB cable to PC. it should trigger the download mode
The bootloop that you have now, is just "LG V30 ThinQ" and the "unlocked bootloader" msg right? same as me I think

okay, let me try describe my steps in details :
1) Phone is bootlooping, USB cable is connected to Phone, NOT to PC
2) Hold down power button only till the screen becomes "black"
3) Once "black", quickly hold the "vol UP" and connect the USB cable to the PC
4) Now it should show the "download mode"
5) Without removing the USB cable, hold "power + vol DOWN"
6) Once screen becomes "black", release the "power" button, hold the "vol DOWN"
7) Until you see the "fastboot mode"
8) Now you can flash TWRP back using fastboot command from the PC
9) Boot back to TWRP
p/s : yes, the phone cannot be turned off, for long time, but it can be for a very short time. Need to use that short time to trigger all the keys
I have the same problem after flashing Magisk 17. I am in a bootloop between LG black start and root/unlocked bootloader warning screen.
I followed your steps 1-7 in a command line screen (as administrator) and it works but it seems that recovery flash is not working because the command line screen show me a very short time in the recovery flashing work (see attached image).
"fastboot reboot" returns me to the bootloop.
"Power Off" and "Restart" options in the phone returns to me to the bootloop again.
If I unplug the USB cable in the fastboot screen, the phone goes to the splash black screen and does nothing.
WTF!!! it's working.
i tried it one more time like you described it.
think i did it too slow before. booted into TWRP and the rest will be no problem (i hope so).
thank you sooo much!

how did you reflash Magisk 16 after?
@ChazzMatt HAve you looked at this? Some of are having issues after Magisk updated the Magisk app and then lost root...I guess we shouldnt have flashed 17, but when I try and reflash 16 I get the "updater process error" does that mean my only option is to format SD again, or do I have to start from scratch?

I am stuck with the same kinda issue. By mistake restarted the Phone after wiping the phone for a fresh rom install. now i can see only the LG boot logo. There is no way to power off the phone. Pressed the power button alone for couple of minute but no use. Tried pressing the Vol Down and power to restart. I get a 1 sec window when the phone is off between the restarts but your method does not work in that short time. Is there a way to power off the phone ?
basically there is no Rom on it and does not detect on the PC when plugged in
Please help if you know anything

Try going to TWRP
1. hold vol down + power till it off
2. Once it shows the first on screen, release the power button and press back the power button (vol down hold)
3. A menu for factory reset will be shown, agree to it 2 times
4. Then it will boot to TWRP ( no data will be deleted )

Sometimes it is that the screen is blank but TWRP is there though, when you are presumably in TWRP, connect your device to the PC and try with ADB commands to see what happens, let us know.

Not this way, press the buttons to supposedly enter to TWRP, do all of them blindly. Start with pressing the three buttons simultaneously for about 12 seconds (this will power off your device) then immediately press the volume up + PWR button for about 7 seconds (to enter to TWRP), then type the commands.
Pay attention if something is displayed in your screen and if you hear some sound when connecting to PC.
