Hi,
I have LG G5 H830 and I have installed stock ROM 20k with TWRP and root. However, I can't boot into recovery using the combination of these buttons.
The instructions I found says: 1. held both buttons 2. When LG logo shows, briefly release both and then press and hold again, till recovery. Since I have unlocked bootloader, there is a warning after the logo appears and it will continue in a few seconds and showed the logo again. I tried to hold till the first or second logo but I could never get into recovery.
Another thread suggested to only briefly release power briefly and always hold down volume-down. This worked except it went into factory reset (the only option is to reset or now).
I can use adb boot into recovery and it's TWRP.
What am I missing here?
Thanks

You must tap twice yes for factory reset than it boots into TWRP when TWRP is installed properly

Hello
Only way to start Android in flashed Moto E xt1021 is going to bootloader mode and selecting "Normal Powerup", otherwise it boots to TWRP.
With the phone power off, then
pressing and holding the power key,
the "bootloader unlocked" warning appears, then
releasing the power key,
TWRP starts.
I tried flashing these two roms:
Cyanogenmod cm-13.0-20160708-NIGHTLY-condor.zip
Stock XT1021_Retail_US_51_Optimized_v1.0a_Non-Deodexed.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3167111
Tried flashing with latest TWRP and Cyanogenmod recovery but the problem is always the same. Can't power the system directly with the power key.
Please tell me any hint on how to solve this
Must add that originally I ota upgraded to lollipop then unlocked the phone and flashed it.
I can't find how to boot the phone directly to system, reflashed many times and nothing...
Any ideas??
Nothing?
I updated the device to the latest firmware, and the devoce is in the boot loop. It cannot pass the initial LG logo. I tried the reset by pressing down + power, and it loops again after clicking "yes". How do I activate the download mode to perform full flash using mobile downloader?

I'm having this problem too. I cannot get into download mode. When I hold the power and volume up buttons it just loops from the unlocked bootloader warning to the LG logo and back again.
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.)
I had LOS running happily for sometime, today I tried flasing PixelExperience. After installation, phone stuck at Google boot animation screen. Now I want to boot back to recovery, but I am unable to turn off my phone, pressing and holding power button restarts it. I cannot hook into it via ADB either, as it says unauthorized device. What are my options? How can I boot to recovery?
Press and hold vol up + power and do till you feel vibration and then when mi logo appear leave.
Do update what happened

Flash Lazyflasher from twrp
I received the phone from a friend that can't remember the lock screen password.
I need to wipe the phone, but it will not go to recovery nor fastboot by any method described in this forum.
Anyone has any idea what can be done?
Thank you
No one has any ideas?
Maybe you already tried, but it's worth noting: in order to get to download mode or recovery you should first press the combination of keys (vol+&power or vol-&power) and when when the lg logo appears you should immediately release the power button and press it again. It might not be easy the first times you try.

I obviously tried it.
The logo appears twice, I assume the first time is from the boot section and the second time from the actual application ROM. I tried releasing the power button and re-press it in the first time the logo appears and tried also on the second time the logo appears. It didn't work.
Is the release duration very strict? I released the button for about 0.5 second to 1 second. also I released the button less than 0.5-1 seconds from the appearance of the logo.
You should be as quick as possible, as soon as the logo appears the first time, release and immediately press it again and keep it pressed. If you try and it doesn't work, disconnect the battery before trying again.
I believe you tried everything, but still I can't find any other reason why the phone should boot to Android but not to recovery, apart maybe having both of the volume buttons broken.

I don't see any reaction to the volume keys in the lock screen, so they might be broken.
