Sorry if this post is redundant, but the methods I've seen haven't worked, so I can't be alone. Here is how to boot into TWRP if your phone is boot looping/soft bricked. (info pulled from here, of all places.)

1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.

Hope this helps someone besides currently frustrated me.

Also, if you're too scared to try that, I've had success using rom toolbox to reboot into recovery. Of course this is assuming you have a working system.

Thanks very much, but...

Hello,

I unfortunately dropped my VS980, cracked the screen, and the digitizer only works on the bottom portion of the screen. I have a new screen coming, which should fix this issue, however I would like to get my data off my phone (pics), but I can't as I have a password (draw a line/shape kind) and without being able to enter this in, it will not connect to my PC as mass storage.

I was hoping to be able to boot into recovery with hardware buttons and get my data that way, not sure if that is possible either, but at least try it. This I found to work to get me to the factory hard reset screen, but I am skeptical to push the power button and have it wipe my data!

I am open to other options to get to my data if anyone has any, including android device manager which is something I have thought of, but not sure if I can reset the security to nothing, or maybe as the bottom portion of my digitizer seems to work, I can enter in a space or a period for a password and enter that in.

Looking for any guidance!

Thanks!

Got it!

Redid the password with android device manager, which got me in, but I didn't even need to do that as I had the brainwave to plug a mouse in with a usb adapter. Works flawlessly, got my data, now just waiting for replacement screen!

Strange Problem

I am using F-320K[G2], Cloudy G3 Rom, when I hit boot into recovery it does bring me to TWRP but hardware buttons doesn't work. It just restarts the phone.
Vol down+Power till LG logo up, release and press and hold again and after few secs it restartsand came back to LG screen. If I continue to held it it just repeat restating.

steps to enter recovery that worked for my Sprint LG G2 on ZVC firmware.
1) hold power and volume down button till you see LG logo -- quickly release these buttons and
2) immediately hold power and volume up buttons to enter into factory reset menu.
Then 3 presses of power key to confirm wipe and enter TWRP recovery. :good:

I was going mad trying to enter recovery for an hour. It appears like different models/software versions have different key combinations for entering recovery mode.

My phone was stuck at lg logo screen and i didnt have nandroid backup of the phone. so couldn't try the TOT restore method too as i waned my phone data.

The way that let me get into custom recovery is different.
I hold 'vol up+power+vol down' to start from turned off state and keep holding it[Don't leave just keep holding the 3 buttons]. It doesn't show factory reset screen, it get me into TWRP[Custom Rom] directly. I heard 3 buttons gets u in safe mode IDK but I got into proper working TWRP.

if anybody's looking for the information in this thread like i was, and the posted method doesn't work (it did not for me):

1. Power off
2. Hold volume down and power
3a. release both at logo AND press BOTH at logo right after releasing
4a. Enter recovery

You should enter recovery, but if not...

3b. Keep the buttons pressed (your phone might continue into the start animation, but if you keep the buttons press it will return)
4b. The first logo will appear. Release both and press BOTH
5. Enter recovery

hope this helps someone

Just wanted to contribute here in case anyone else had tried everything listed in this thread and still was unable to boot into TWRP.
I'm on Sprint, stock, rooted ZVE, and I have TWRP 2.7.

1. Power off phone, wait a few seconds to make sure phone is completely off.
2. Hold power and volume down.
3. As soon as LG logo appears, KEEP holding down power... BUT release volume down and SWITCH to holding volume up.
4. After a few seconds, screen appears saying "Recovery mode" and TWRP opens up after that.
