Hello everyone! I have a wonderful issue that I need to address and need some help with.
I will start with the fact I made the mistake of flashing the Cm12.1 10/5 Nightly. For those of us who do not know, this rom does not boot. It optimizes apps, then the Cyanogenmod boot logo shows up, and it does this, forever.
Shouldn't be a problem if I boot into recovery, right? Power and Volume down button should do the trick. My Lg g3 for some reason has never, ever been able to boot into recovery from the hardware keys. So this is where I am stuck, I do not want to go back to stock and clear my phone. I want to enter recovery and flash backwards, but have no way to. Is there a way with Download mode that I can flash a CM rom onto m phone, without getting rid of TWRP, and without wiping my device, and retaining root?

Getting in factory-reset screen (power and volume down) was tricky for me too till I figured out that "do not wait for lg logo to show up, as soon as phone vibrates release vol down and power then immediately press them together again, keep it pressed till the factory reset/safe mode screen shows up". It worked from me everytime since then.

I'm absolutely new to the custom rom scene and I figured I would root my phone and install the rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759642
It went perfectly fine and I started the like the idea of being to install what I want onto a phone, so I decided to make the jump to install CM10.
I ran a nandroid + TB backup and copied the backup to my computer. Then I dragged my CM10 rom (from http://www.droidhive.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1470-cm10-unofficial-for-d2vzw/) to the root directory of my phone. Then I ran rom manager to install cm10. The phone reboots into recovery but gets stuck on recovery. It will constantly reboot and once it reaches recovery, the loading bar with the picture of the green android robot in the background loads about 20-25% of the way, and then the phone vibrates and acts as though I just boot it up (and this process cycles).
I can't get it to ever get past this 20-25% mark and it isn't recognized by my computer to flash it back to stock and I can't do a nandroid restore since I can't get past this state.
Is my phone bricked and if so/not so, what should I do?

Hmm honestly the easiest way out of this is just to flash the stock rom of your carrier through odin (download mode and flash), easy fix. You could try messing around with the recovery and whatnot, ie try flashing a new recovery through adb somehow, but easiest and the most least painful way seems to be to just odin back to stock and try again. and also, i dont get why people use rom manager, heard too many horror brick stories about that. Just adb the recovery to the phone and flash the zip. Why even bother with rom manager.
good luck, hope i helped :good:
I can't get my computer to recognize my phone to use odin / adb.

Did you put your phone in download mode? turn off, and then hold home vol down and power at same time.
Never mind..

Like I said, when I book into recovery/download mode, it just boot cycles.
That is: phone turns on. Samsung boot screen, then android robot screen, loading bar goes about 1/4 of the way, then phone goes black, and starts at samsung boot screen again.

Sounds like you haven't actually entered the download mode... power off> hold at same time power, home and vol down... keep holding until the phone turns back on. you should enter download then.
I personally feel like you just have a dirty install without knowing more. Once you enter recovery I'd just data reset, cache reset, dalvik reset and reflash same rom... or a backup
Yeah, my bad. I didn't hold it down long enough. I'm such a noob.

haha Thanks for that!
Ok Here is what I have and have done: :crying: :crying:
All I did was turn it off then screwing around I held the power button and vol+ and hit screen rotate lock switch as it was booting, then it read:
erasing userdata
unrecoverable bootloader error
And thats it. unfortunately adb is not turned on and now the tab will not boot past the secondary booting screen that reads Iconiatab, what is worse since I still have the stock recovery I cant flash anything that I have found. I have tried to flash the Stock A200 rom that is supposed to be stock recovery flashable but it only gets about 1/4th of the progress line before the dead android with the triangle !! sign appears. and of course I dont have the cpuid or sbk, so I cant flash anything in APX mode either.... I am really pulling my hair out here.. and really need some help here it is my nephews tab and he is going to be really upset if I cant fix it.
Any way this is the name of the rom that wont finish installing in the stock recovery flash :
(Stock Rom)Acer_A200_AV032.RV09RC08_AV041.RV04RC02_PA_CUS1_1330081316944_80bf3f7e_decrypted.zip
( I am not allowed to post links yet... But any way the download is at 4shared, and I got the link from the Acer Tablet Forums)
It is Titled Original Stock Rom, and it should have been able to have been flashed through the stock recovery, but di not, and I dont know if it is the rom, or the tablet that is the cause of it not flashing through the stock recovery....
And I have tried a few other update.zips to no avail, but that was the only full rom I found, and certainly the only one with the bootloader blob in it.
Does anyone have any kind of advice for me, or do you know where I could get a rom that will flash through stock recovery?
I dont understand why this happened, the tab was working just fine then I had to reboot it while screwing with the buttons...
So if anyone can help me I would be most grateful, and I can follow most any guide or instruction as long as it can be located.
Thank You
PS - The Tab is 100% stock, no root, no custom recovery, nothing....

The problem was solved by following a YouTube video covering this issue, the video was in spanish, but was rather easy to understand even with the language barrier.
Simply keep doing same boot method over, and over until it works! 12 tries for me then a succesfull boot!
Press the power button and vol+ until the tab vibrates, then flip the screen rotation lock switch.
The screen will read erasing userdata, then the red unrecoverable bootloader error (0x190000008), hold down the power until the tab shuts down.
Continually repeat the proccess, and eventually it will read erasing userdata, and follow with formating cache, then complete. The device will reboot, and it is back tonormal now the stock recovery will finish flashing the ota update.zip so long as you have the right stock rom.
Now you can continue on with your tab however you decide, root, install a custom recovery, and rom, and of course unlocking the bootloader in fastboot mode with oem-unlock
Thank you.
the person who posted before this was correct on pressing the vol up key and power then when vibrates release power but holding vol up switch the screen rotation switch from the right to the left and stay holding the vol up key until it show the android screen leave it be and it will be done once finished loading. You don't have to keep repeating the process one time will work if done correctly. the vol up button is the button to the right when holding in landscape view and the rotation switch should also be in the right most position to start. anyway other than those details it works and it will work the first time. Good luck!

Hi,
I HAVE GOT A VERY BIG PROBLEM.After i installed the App AutoRec(i had TWRP befoe,but i thougt when i install it it updates TWRP to a newer version) my phone only starts in Fastboot Mode-no DownloadMode-no Recovery Mode.
After that i erased all the things(aboot,boot,cache,system,laf,....) und flashed them again,after that the Phone only starts until the LgLogo then it stops.No Fastboot,no recovery,no DownloadMode.When I Press VolumeUp+PowerOff i get into the Factory Reset.When i press on Erase all user data&restore default settings?---When i press Yes the phone the logo comes an on the left up side stands"Error:boot ceryfication verify
Secure Boot error
Cause :Boot cerification verify
After that the display is black,and i have to restart the Phone.
When i press all 3 buttons on my phone,i got into the hardware key control mode,does me help that everthing?
When i plug in the phone in my pc,it says "unknown device",when i use to do something with fastboot it says"waiting for device"?
Please help me,what can i do?I have the Phone only since 2 two days,an i wouldnt lost it Unhappy
Sorry for my bad english
Can you still get into twrp? With the phone off hold power and vol down til LG logo comes up the release and press again after. Should take you to a menu, just hit yes. If it takes you to recovery just hit factory reset and it'll,take you to twrp. If so, I'd recommend putting a Rom onto an sd and flashing it. You'll lose everything but it's better then losing this beautiful phone

You obviously didnt read his post correctly. He stated that when he gets to the factory reset area which leads you to Recovery Mode/TWRP it shows the LG logo appears and nothing happens.
As for you my friend if you are able to somehow get into download mode with a button combination you have a chance at saving yourself by using a TOT or KDZ file to restore your phone to stock software. But i also have a question for you.........Why the hell would you allow an app to flash a recovery file that has nothing to do with BUMP'D? The Bump'd recovery for our phones is specific to our phones! You should never auto update any recovery unless stated its ok from the Bump'd developers, Which they never did or will because our TWRP Recoveries are different than any other phones because of the bump'd implementations with in them and the boot.img's. Sounds to me like you may have screwed up your partitions and/or boot stack. Your are better going on IRC and requesting the help of TheCubed/IOMonster and AutoPrime, but mark my words you will face some heavy criticism from members of the IRC channel when you explain this story to them. But they are always willing to help.
I dont know why i have done it,im new on Lg.Before i had an HTC there is so many other.I will aks that guys.I hope i can save my new phone.
But the Problem is,i dont get into download Menu,i did everthing

Thanks guys,
I managed to get back my phone. I had to put it on qualcomm 9008 and after that to flash again all files.
Best regards.
Started out with Z4, updated to Z8. I tried this with TWRP installed after making both EFS backup and regular nandroid backup, installed fine. I made sure to use the recommended partition zips. Here's the ROM I used. However after turning my phone off it will turn on into safe mode (lollipop) in limited, seemingly random instances. I have yet to access recovery. However, the one part I know that I screwed up is I installed xposed (forgot to install the xposed helper), so I receive unlimited errors for that and can't do anything.
I've tried rebooting my phone normally, rebooting into recovery, and cutting all of my losses and flashing back to stock. Any advice? I'm trying to follow the directions here to revert back to stock, but my computer will only recognize an unrecognized device.
Thanks for the help!
Flash the rom labeled "BarePop_TE_V1 " it has the files need to fix your issues (make sure to thank @engine95). Heres the link to the rom it is pretty much a debloated version of that lollipop rom you were running:http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/barepop-zv8-t3035551
That reboot problem you are having is because of a bug with the stock rom so just flash that one to fix everything.
I appreciate the help, however my main problem still lies with the fact that I can't access recovery. I've gotten it to where I can reboot normally (albeit I still can't do anything due to the constant errors), but holding pwr+vol down and then letting go and reclicking those once the lg sign comes up won't let me into recovery. Do you have any advice for that? Thanks again for the help!

I've had similar issues in the past trying to boot into recovery and the method you said (vol down+power then let go and press again when LG logo comes up) also wouldn't work for me. Have you tried just holding it down and not letting it go until you see "Recovery Mode"? That actually worked for me.

I don't know why it worked this time... but it worked on my second attempt! I have access! Only issue is the touchscreen is messed up on the ROM, but it works!
With all of these issues you may want to flashtool back to ZV4 and reroot or ZV8 your call.

Not to be redundant, but my understanding is the only way it will go into recovery from full off is to keep holding power+vol down until you see "recovery mode", if you let up on the buttons before you see recovery mode it will simply reboot.
When rooting an ATT G3 I could not for the life of me get it to boot into recovery using the button combo, instead I just used adb reboot recovery instead, worked every time, to this day the guy can only reboot to recovery from within rom, gonna suck if he gets soft bricked.. My Sprint G# holding the buttons works like a charm
When I want to boot into recpvery I always have to do volume + power up until the lg logo comes up then let go and press them again. Then I have to press the factory reset button and click yes. For me and I guess others when you hold volume + powerdown you just end up going into safe mode. If you end up always having problem just download a app that can make your phone reboot itself or download terminal and run:
su
reboot recovery
That always works because it is built into the phone.

For me if I go into recovery by volume down + power. It just goes into recovery.

Hi. I am desperate. Two weeks ago I had to remove the power button of my S3 because the phone kept rebooting.
Now, I installed a ROM that ended into bootloops, so I need to enter into recovery mode. With the power button, this would be easy, however since I don't have it, I don't know what to do. I installed Boeffla kernel and Validus ROM when I got the boot loop.
To turn the phone on, what I did was to remove the battery, put it again, and then plug the phone for one second and unplug it. I tried pressing down volume + home while doing that, and it doesn't change anything. The pone will simply try to boot the ROM.
Is there any way to enter into recovery mode without a power button? Otherwise, I will have to throw my precious S3 to the trash, and I definitely not want that! Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Finally, I managed to fix it by performing adb reboot recovery while the phone was loading the ROM (during the ROM animation).
Nice tip ! Good to know and big thanks for your own reply.
