From a full power off, how do I boot into stock recovery? I've tried multiple button configurations and none work.
EDIT:
I called T-Mobile and they said:
1. Power off
2. Press and hold the Vol - and Power button until the LG boot screen appears.
3. Release the Power button ONLY. Do not release the Vol - button.
4. After 1 second, press and hold the power button again. You should see the white recovery screen.
Use the Vol+/- to navigate and Power to select.
This brought up a Factory data reset menu on my H815.
Brings up factory reset on T-mo version H-811
That is the LG factory recovery.
thank you this worked
With a Verizon model, I had to keep holding both Power and Vol - until the recovery screen appeared. If I released and then re-held Power, as described above, it did not work.
When I hold down power and vol down, it boots to an IMEI display screen. It shows a long barcode. Can't get to recovery with the hold, release and hold down again the power and volume down buttons. Frustrating.
I love you so much right now. It boots into what appears to look like a default LG G4 factory reset page. For me, i clicked reset, and then yes, and surprisingly it brought me to where i wanted to go. TWRP Recovery.
THANK YOU!!!

Your comment just saved me from doing a complete factory reset!
I never clicked "Yes" in the Factory Reset phone option because I thought it would do just that. Instead it took me to TWRP!!

The difference was that you have twrp recovery and he didn't. The question pops for both, but for those that have the original recovery it will do the factory reset.
worked
worked for me, but the first screen is the one where it ask if i want to factory reset, i had to pick YES, then again confirm, and then i was in TWRP

And I get a factory reset as well on my H811, even though TWRP was already installed and working on the recovery partition.
Something else funny going on, the OS seems to kill TWRP after the next one or two boots tho. Maybe I need to set the TWRP option to allow change of the system partition to read/write? (Since apparently it writes something there that prevents the OS from killing the custom recovery after it's been installed)

I've learned a lot with LG phones over the past few weeks.
The biggest thing is.. when you first flash over TWRP, you HAVE to reboot into recovery before you try rebooting the system, or else the bootloader will overwrite the TWRP install and replace it with the factory recovery.img. (You probably already know this.) To make sure it boots into TWRP first, since fastboot doesn't have a "reboot-recovery" command.. I just pull the battery then do the button combination to boot directly into TWRP. Doing this allowed me to say "YES" to the question "Do you want to factory reset the phone".
I don't know how many times I've wiped my phone because of this:
1. flash TWRP.
2. reboots (tries to hold the finger combo but failed - and didn't know it)
3. gets asked question - "do you want to factory reset the phone"
4. I hit YES expecting it to take me to TWRP - but instead it wipes the phone and puts stock recovery back on.
Just do this:
1. flash TWRP.
2. PULL THE BATTERY
3. Use finger combo to boot recovery.
4. When asked "do you want to factory reset the phone" - hit YES
5. TWRP boots in like 5 seconds.
This has worked now for my G4 and my V10 since they both have this issue. The V20 however does not (my current phone) - so hopefully LG is done with this crap!!
Good luck!

What was happening on my H811 was that it was either corrupting the recovery partition afterwards or just invalidating it or something because instead of getting back the stock recovery, I'd get the scary "broken robot" screen when trying to boot into recovery.

The technique I've learned to appreciate (which apparently is a new thing, and is now the suggested method for installing via fastboot according to the twrp.me website) is to load a copy of TWRP into RAM to do the flashing and rebooting. ("fastboot boot [TWRP_IMAGE_NAME]")
I try to avoid battery pulls as much as possible but I have never relied on them on a phone the way I have done over the last week (just had my G4 for about a week now) due to these funky mechanisms that LG has for getting into recovery/bootloader/download mode.

TBH I am fearful of even trying it now. (Especially since I just read about how a nandroid backup done from TWRP doesn't backup anything on the /data partition, either.. )
Which makes me even more appreciative of LineageOS's "advanced reboot" power button menu. :good:
One of the problems in my view with this LG system is that it can be very difficult to reliably press both the power and volume at the same time on this phone due to it's unusual placement of those buttons. Much harder than on a phone with those buttons on opposite sites of the device. Not to mention this silly "press both these, then release one, then 1s later press that one again" stuff.
And due to the way they designed these sequences, which among other things often have no way to easily escape them (can you imagine having this on a phone with a non-removable battery?? ), but worse, have defaults that progress to another state without any user interaction (because of the limitations of this control logic - eg, if you boot to bootloader but can't escape and don't do anything in 2 minutes, the device automatically reboots), I personally have to wonder if this doesn't make a significant contribution to the infamous bootloop issues that lots of people are having with recent LG's like the G4, G5, V20, etc.

With the device off (it will say it is off)
Push and hold the power button, them immediately push and hold both bottom (left and right) page turn buttons.
When it powers on release the power button and release the page turn buttons when the recovery screen comes up (see attached picture).
If you need someone to help, you have an opportunity to make a new friend
It is not difficult, but as usual with these things it may take a few tries to get the timing right.

Its actually not complete factory reset. I had some stuff in System and Keyboard mods and they stuck when I factory reset. I'm going to be releasing a SD card image that COMPLETELY factory resets the device.
I don't think it un-roots it, unless an unrooted nook has a wireless adb connection. I did this hit yes twice and completed the factory reset and i can still connect to the nook touch via wireless adb I just installed adw again without going through any of the rooting process again.
On the nook color what is referred to as the "factory reset" just resets the data partition
also since i had gapps installed it booted to the android welcome screen on my 2nd boot.
edit: I just "factory reset" again and it boots fine at first but then a reboot brings it to the android welcome screen with the moving hand to the android button and it gets stuck there.
So we need someone to figure out how to do a system reset.
edit: on my defense ^ post wasnt here when i started typing mine.

Actual Factory Reset
Success...kinda, so i got a full factory reset, however i am not sure how. I for the life of me could not get 8 failed boots to work, the thing always wanted to boot regardless of what i was pressing, so i was messing around in adb installing some things, deleting some things and then when i typed reboot it just rebooted to the factory image screen.
I uploaded the actual factory reset screen. If anybody else has success getting it to go to restoring original factory image maybe you can give a more reliable way.
edit: i have been messing with it for a few hours so maybe it got sick of me and was like, eff it i am factory imaging.
I can confirm this works since after i did it the data was still untouched (launchers were still installed but root was lost/ wireless adb no longer connected) after i had the factory reset then i did a data reset that is posted in op and I was back to pure stock files.
I'll confirm that the factory reset listed by the OP doesn't work completely. I would reset the Touch, then power off and on, and then the android screen would show up at that point. This happens consistently.
I'm not sure the Nook Touch is my cup of tea, so I'm thinking it might be headed back to B&N. I'm definitely interested in any clear working instructions for a true reset to factory default that can be conjured by wiser minds than mine.
Sorry, duplicate post.

http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
I rooted my nook touch using touchnooter. Loaded up the amazon app store and played around for a while. But I found after I rooted the nook that the nook store didn't work any more. So i wanted to get back to factory state. I then installed the wireless adb app. I logged in to my nook using my linux pc and followed the above directions. After the re-image you have to do a data reset by going in and restoring to factory settings in the nook itself.
As soon as I gave the reboot command it started the re-image as seen in this link:

I can use "adb reboot recovery" to enter TWRP 2.7 recovery mode, but I want to use key combination, please tell me how to that.
Hold Power + Vol Down > Wait until LG Logo pops up and release from both buttons > quickly hold Power + Vol Up + Vol Down again
It will pop up with some message about reset to factory settings, but it's all a bluff.

That will depend on whether you've installed TWRP or not.
If you've still got the original recovery it will wipe it like it says it will, if you've got a custom recovery it will take you to it.
The standard recovery isn't a recovery like you're expecting it to be, if just has a way of resetting things to default without allowing you to do anything extra. OEM don't like giving people options but want a way to reset to defaults that the customer can use before needing to return a faulty unit which might not be faulty. If that makes sense.

From what I can tell, it's not a "bluff". It seems that the stock recovery partition would just automatically do a factory reset, so it warns you before booting the recovery partition. Seeing as you're non-stock, it just boots into TWRP/CWM. It's a valid warning that's simply set up in a weird way.

You don't.
We'll you might be able to but you're going about it the wrong way.
First you need to find the right forum for your device, then you read, followed by more reading.
At some point you've hopefully discovered that you should have done all this reading before you reset your device.
Also before pressing the post button on your next post, read it first to make sure it makes sense.
Thank you very much, I tried other combinations found on some web pages that failed. This one worked!

Install LG software on your computer first. Then with the tablet completely off, hold VolUp and plug the tablet into the computer. That will enter LG download mode. Use the LG software on your PC to install the latest firmware available for your device. From there you can use the guides on this forum to go custom if you so desire.
Hi, I'm having a major problem getting into recovery via the power-on+vol-down key combination on MM (20A/20B) - under no circumstances can I get into recovery from cold boot - I can reboot into TWRP recovery when the phone's booted, but recently I've had a couple of bootloops which never enter the OS and so I'm stuffed - both times all I could do is use LGUP to reflash 20B kdz and then re-root etc etc. I'm assuming under MM the key sequence has changed, or is it because I have an unlocked bootloader the sequence is different? I've owned a G2 and G3 and know the "normal" sequence of hold power+vol-down, wait for the LG logo and release then power+vol-down again, but this doesn't seem to work on a Marshmallow G4 (I've tried 100 times with different wait periods on the release etc)....
Its a real PITA not being able to cold boot into TWRP/recovery so can someone advise what the sequence now is (and PLEASE don't reply to tell me its "hold power+vol-down, wait for the LG logo and release then power+vol-down again"!).
Thanks!
I have the same issue and I had been running into same situation to entirely reflash my phone in order to get it boot again. The key combination never worked for me while on 20B; really frustrating if you run into whatever problems requiring to recover through TWRP and not being able to do so.
key combination working me....
If not
adb reboot recovery
Or if phone rooted.

And it never came to your mind, that maybe the entry to recovery might be different to an LG G3 or G2?
The way to enter recovery is:
Hold Vol- and Power until LG Logo appears
Release ONLY Power button for 1 sec
Then press it again and hold it
Recovery entered
I guess google can save lifes And nerves!!!!

EDIT: Btw this has nothing to do with Marshmallow, Lollipop etc. It's the usual way to enter recovery on a G4 And I didn't read the OP entirely. It seems like you just had the wrong sequence. This one works for me on Masrhmallow 20B!

Thanks for your heads-up. Unfortunately if i try this combination a screen appears "Factory data reset" asking "No (Exit)" or "Yes".
Now I would assume if I enter "Yes" it would boot into recovery, but I am not sure whether this will completely wipe my phone.
Can anyone confirm that I´m on the right path here?

Hold on. There are 2 options. If you installed recovery properly (I bet you did), indeed, clicking on "yes" will boot you into recovery. If you're a monkey, just like I was, and DIDN'T install recovery properly, yes, it will just wipe your data.
But that's the usual way to hardware-button-boot into recovery
How did you install it? There's an easy way to check if everything is set up correctly. Use this app to boot into your recovery from within android.
If it boots you into recovery then everything is set up straight and you can boot into recovery with hardware buttons a 100% by clicking "yes" and "yes" in the "stock" recovery.
EDIT: I know that's an awkward way, but it's the right 1 Cheers

Hi! So I have been rolling with the marshmellow version of RR for quite some time and figured I was due for an upgrade. I went to update to the Nougat version, and did everything correctly, firmware, wipe, rom, then gapps. Much to my dismay I was greeted with a screen prompting me for my pattern to start android, I thought this a bit odd but went with it and my pattern did not work. I tried again thinking I may have done it wrong but nothing worked. I didnt think much of it and went to flash again to make sure I did it right, but my recovery never booted. Afterwards I got an error that was very quick and I was not able to read. It came just after the "your phones bootlader has been unlocked" etc. It was a very similar screen as well. After this, I was not able to boot up the phone at all. Once I was able to power up the phone but it simply gave me the same error and now its not starting at all. Any help would be much appriciated and thank you if you made it through this post.
First of all, you need to flash the very latest version of TWRP. If you are suffering from encryption issues and cannot decrypt TWRP, you will need to press back on the TWRP screen, and press wipe -> Format data
You will lose all your data and will be unencrypted. Make sure you have the latest TWRP, as this is vital for Nougat.

Already did, it doesnt work. Black screen.
Im facing the same problem too. Cant even get adb to work ?
If you can still get into your bootloader, use fastboot commands to flash the latest TWRP.
Either hold Vol Up + Power when you phone is off, or turn it on normally and click any volume button during the "bootloader unlocked" warning screen to access the boot menu.
If you can't access the bootloader at all, then I believe the unbrick guide is your only option.
I can get to the bootloader, but when i flash recovery, it just restarts again and again.
Wipe the recovery partition first before you flash the new one.
Also, what version of TWRP are you using?
Yeah I will look into brick guides. Also going to try and let my phone charge to see if that may help. As far as I can tell it isnt charging but I might as well try.
Thank you for all the help guys, eventually what worked for me was indeed an unbrick guide. I will now be sure to read up entirely on what exactly I need to upgrade to fix this issue. For any wondering https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/ This was the guide I used to fix my phone.
So, I was on /e/ os, and I wanted to switch to lineageos, so I downloaded the zip, flashed TWRP (as recovery) went into it, flashed los, rebooted, got to boot screen, and right as it was about to go into setup, it turned off. I tried again, same thing, etc etc. I tried to go into fastboot and recovery, nothing. It's stuck at the Recovery mode... loading... then it has purple led at the top. it is the canadian h812 version.

Hi. I don't know exactly what the problem is and how to solve it. I would wait for an answer steadfasterX, or someone who knows the exact answer.
I would try to do this, but as I wrote above, I do not know if it will help or not:
Factory reset hardware key combo (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-unofficial-g4-unlock-any-lg-g4-device-with-usu.3760451/)
As written above the regular key combo to get into the LG factory reset screen changes a bit:
power off device
disconnect any usb cable from the device
press volume UP + power button and KEEP THEM BOTH pressed until you see the LG logo the first time! THEN you have to immediately release the power button (ONLY that) and press and keep holding the power button directly again! Keep them pressed until you see the white LG factory reset screen
After that, I would try to go into the recovery, to format and restore or reflash.
Hope this helps. But it is better to wait for the answer of the knowledgeable. Good luck!

It worked... I hope the factory reset actually fixes it. (by it worked I mean I got into it)
Nope. Didn't work. It freezes up and says 'Secure booting error :1003' MODIFIED!' with a purpleish pinkish led.
Boot in fastboot and execute:
fastboot format userdata
(this will erase all internal data, pics, apps etc)
Then let it boot.

I said fastboot mode not download mode. Read the UsU thread first post how to boot into it.
