For starters, charge your phone, then look for teenybin and flash it using LGNPST (look for both of em, they are in the forum), afterwards you can flash your favorite rom.

Or you could download TWRP from the play store and do it from within the app, if your rooted of course.
I tried these both with no success
The only way I can boot into TWRP is through the Klickitool here:

How to install an stable TWRP?
This is my ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...-lg-v10-h901-10c-debranded-debloated-t3277305
This took me a while to learn myself with this phone. Was so frustrating. The app is good but if you need to do it from a battery pull this won't help.
Do this:
Pull Battery
Put it back and then:
1. Hold the volume down button and power button down.
2. When the LG logo pops out while keeping the volume down button held quickly remove you finger from the power and then back on and Hold it.
This should get you in. Ima pro now. Lol.
You will get a white screen with some options. Use the volume down key to answer "yes" twice and you will be in TWRP.
This way is kinda long, but just for educational purposes I guess...
If you are rooted already, get a terminal emulator and type in 'su' (without the quote) and hit enter. You'll be prompted to allow super user access to the terminal. Click allow and then type 'reboot recovery' and hit enter. It will boot into whatever recovery you have installed.
Some emulators have widgets where you can save commands and execute them by tapping the widget but I haven't really messed with those features.

Lg v10 hard brick after root

I think I just hard bricked my V10,
was trying to root it with tot file and something went wrong, it restarted,
Now I have bootloop on lg screen.
When entering download mode phone says following and reboots automatically.
Secure booting Error
Error code: 1009
MODIFIED!
So I basically can't access download mode.
Only input I have is, when connected to PC, during bootloop, before it restarts it's visible as COM device
I think i f#@#ked up real bad guys
Did you try master reset with the power and volume down button?
I need more information. What varient do you have and what tot did you try flashing? Did you try a factory reset?

When that happened to me after deleting some apps with Titanium (now I just freeze them ), I managed to install the TOT again with LGUP
Turn the phone on (I tried all ways, normal, reset, download mode, not sure which one worked), with LGUP running on the PC and USB cable connected, it worked after a few tries, good luck :good:
Try to get to recovery mode as follows:
Turn off your LG G4 (complete a full shut down process – press power key and select “power off” or press and hold power button for a few moments).
Then, press and hold Power and Volume Down buttons – don’t release the keys.
Keep pressing the buttons until the LG Logo is being displayed.
At that point release the buttons for about 1 second.
After that immediately press and hold Power and Volume Down keys pressed once more.
The recovery mode menu should be then displayed on your LG G4.
You can use Volume Up and Down buttons in order to scroll up and down and you can press Power key to select.
Choose “reboot system now” when you are ready to go back to Android OS.

It does go to recovery, but PC does not detect it. Also when I press to reset phone it give same error and reboot.
melorib
Thanks for advice, but I just can't keep it mounted to pc long enough for LGUP to detect.
Though, i'll try it nonethe less. I have short window before phone reboots, maybe it'll be enough
Thanks for answers

Leave the cable connected and LGUP on all the time while you try rebooting, and look at the PC to see if it recognized the phone, eventually mine connected
LGUP recognizes it but, says that it's an unknown device.
did you have same problems?

I dont remember exactely how it happened, did you try flashing to the unknown device
Also try after LGUP recognizes the phone unplug and plug USB cable...
The last alternative if it doesnt work is using LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL
thanks for trying to help,
but phone is in constant bootloop and it doesn't stay long enough to do something with it

Hey, the exact thing happened to me because of the same reason XD
Anyway, I was able to get into download mode and reflash it on the first attempt.
As for the unknown device problem, IIRC it's an issue of LGUP that can be solved via something involving removing the battery.

LG G5 can't boot into recovery.

Hey everyone (Again),
So i managed to unlock the bootloader and everything went smoothly but I flashed my recovery i can't get into it now it comes up with an error message everytime i try to get into recovery it says ' Your software cannot be checked for corruption' any way to get rid of this or do i have to re- lock the bootloader just to fix it and get recovery working.
Thanks again.
Anyone?

That's not an error message, that's the message you'll see every bit if you unlock the bootloader. Do NOT relock your bootloader after installing custom recovery. Also to get into recovery (provided you installed it correctly and it wasn't erased after it booted info Android) is to turn your phone off (or pull battery) and then hold volume down & power button, one you see the LG logo let go of the power button only (still hold volume down) for about 1 second and then press the power button again and hope (never let go of volume down). It will ask you if you want to reset your phone, select yes two times and you will enter TWRP. If it actually resets your phone, TWRP isn't installed. Usually after installing TWRP you need to pull battery then use above method to boot into recovery, mount system partition and use TWRP file manner to delete come named "recovery from boot.p". You can also go ahead and install SuperSU or magisk (use magisk if you need to be able to pass safety net). Hopefully this helps you, also next time please include what model phone you have and what steps exactly you did as it's easier for others to attempt to help you.
Mines a H850 running nougat as well but thats the only thing it wont boot to recovery because when i hold down the volume down button and the power button the lg logo shows up but then after 4 seconds that google message will pop up and that gets in the way of doing the method to get onto recovery thats my problem

You have to follow exactly what I posted earlier. If you do that, it will show the factory reset screen which is you have TWRP installed, it will not into TWRP.
1) Power off phone
2) Press and hold volume down (do not let go until you see factory reset screen)
3) Press and hold power button, when you see LG logo, let go of power button for 1 second and then press and hold again.
If you do not follow step 3, you'll never be able to boot to recovery using button combo, it will just go to that message and then boot into Android.

Thanks for that! I got it working cheers
I'm actually having a similar issue too.
To clarify, I'm using a LG G5 (h830 variant) that is running resurrection remix.
I remember getting into recovery just to flash the updated modem and bootloader zips so I can fix the issue with powering off the device.
Now I noticed after doing that, I cannot get into recovery either with rebooting or with the button combo.
Thankfully I am rooted with magisk and this is probably the first time that I encountered this issue.
I don't want to further risk anything (because my phone is set up and don't want to lose any data) but would flashing twrp through the official app work just fine?

I know this is old,Just wanted to say thank it worked for me...
Been a while since I used LG and never with official bootloader unlock so I was thrown off by resetting to recovery as at first i never had the lg screen just the bootloader warning start
For those T-Mo G5 (H830) with unlocked bootloader, you will not see any LG logo. Once you see the lcd backlight comes on, immediately release the power button and press it again, all the while holding down the vol down button.
When you see the bootloader unlocked phone is unsafe msg by LG on the screen, it will already be too late and past the stage where you can boot to recovery. Simply power down and redo in that case.
(Needed to do the above as the latest Magisk 20.0 broke root and adb on H830, thus there was no way to get into recovery other than using the physical buttons. The Magisk Canary version of 20.1 works though.)

how to fix bootloop?

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.
