[HELP}Nexus 4 Recovery Mode Issue

Alright guys this is pretty frustrating and scaring me completely.
I unlocked the bootloader no problem. Then I wanted to flash TWRP recovery by typing in this command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img" so I could root.
Then when I rebooted into bootloader mode and selected recovery I got the Android laying down with the red triangle exclamation mark.
So I downloaded the Nexus 4's factory image and re-flashed the stock recovery by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and the same thing happens.
I even tried booting into stock recovery by typing fastboot boot recovery recovery.img and the same thing.
Any help will be appreciated and its urgent lol.
EDIT: FIXED! Forgot to type in fastboot erase cache after flashing TWRP. Not sure if it was required but I did and all is well now.
Thanks again guys
Thanks
Edit: Another issue - I installed CWM SuperSu v0.98 via TWRP and I hit reboot. Now I see the Google logo for a while. Then the Nexus logo. It doesn't boot into the actual phone. Still stuck on the Nexus logo. Any takes folks?

The android laying down with the red triangle is the stock recovery. You usually press volume up when on that screen to get stock recovery options.

Ya but even before when I flashed TWRP, I couldn't even get to TWRP. I went to the bootloader mode. Pressed the vol keys till I got to Recovery.Then I pressed the power button to select it and that's when I got the red triangle with the Android laying down both on stock and TWRP recoveries even when booting into the recovery vs flashing.

Hmm sounds like the same boot loader problem I had with the nexus 7 and it was fixed with the 4.1.2 update
Try flashing cwm recovery I normally don't use TWRP because I never really liked it too much but see if that works.

Okay so I was able to boot temporarily into TWRP by typing fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img. Now I'll see if I can flash it... and try booting into recovery mode.People on the Nexus 4 Dev threads and on the Paranoid Android threads recommended TWRP since it works properly with Android 4.2 vs CWM and they said TWRP is a step better.

Mods please lock thread. Thanks

Could you please be more specific on how did you fix it?
I've got my N4 maybe a month ago, I installed the 4.2.2 OTA as soon as I got it, the I proceeded to unlock it and root it, one day someone recommended to clear the cache of the phone using the stock recovery (which I thought I had / to fix another problem that I was having) I went to fastboot and tried to access recovery, BOOM, just an android laying down with a red exclamation mark, no "no command" error at all. I downloaded CWM touch and flashed it using Nexus Root Toolkit, that worked fine, but I didn't want a custom recovery and also I needed to fix a 3G latency problem that I was having, after some reading I saw that someone recommended a full flash using the stock google image.
A couple of days I proceeded to flash the factory image, I installed it, after that I did a factory reset from android itself. After doing all that I wanted to clear the cache with the stock recovery just in case, BOOM, an an android laying down with a red exclamation mark and this time with a "no command" error. Tried the trick of holding the power and pressing the volume up, NOTHING HAPPENS!
Right now I am using CWM Touch.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.

Same thing with my phone. I flashed a custom recovery but cannot get into it. By pressing recovery mode from the bootloader, it just displays an android laying down with „!”.

Can't boot into twrp, help!

Hello! I rooted via ioroot, and installed twrp today with the app called "freegee". But when I try to boot into the twrp recovery the lg logo just go through 2 times before the phone starts and boot up (the phone is working fine), but I can't access twrp! Can I just try to flash twrp in flashify and try that?
Btw I do have root, I have checked it
Any help is appreciated!

I tried all the hardware combinations suggested on the forum, but was unable to boot into TWRP (using CM11's advance reboot to get into recovery does work).
After LOTS of experimentation, I was able to get into TWRP using the hardware buttons by doing this:
Power Off entirely
Boot by pressing Power + Vol-Down
... wait for LG logo to come up, but dont let go of the buttons [this is where my attempt differed from the other instructions that suggested letting go of Power + Vol-Down and pressing it again]
LG logo will very quickly go away and the screen will be off again
THEN start it up by pressing Power + Vol-Up [normally Vol-Up is for download mode]
It will show the factory reset screen ... press the power button 3 times, and it will go into recovery
I don't know why the above method worked for me, or if this will work for you (or anyone else), but this is the only way I was able to get into recovery. In case it's relevant, I have an LS980 (Sprint).

how are you trying to boot into recovery? I myself can't get the button combination to work and use titanium backup or freegee to boot into recovery

Thanks! It worked now, I just couldn't find out how the button combination was then,..thanks to both of you :good:

One last question, when I take a nandroid, do I just backup my system, boot, and recovery to backup a working rom, or do I need to backup data too? Because my data is on 3,2 gb and I don't have space for that lol

You can also download TWRP manager and use the reboot option to boot into recovery. Don't have to try and time the hardware buttons.

I cant get mine to boot into recovery only fastboot... Any help?

Do as duquesa says and press the volume down button and power.

Hey guys,
Can anyone help me please. I had my phone rooted on 5.1.1, then I downloaded and updated it to Marshmallow with the official oneplus software. I also chose not to overwrite the recovery when I flashed it with TWRP. However, now the phone doesn't allow me to enter any recovery (stock or twrp). I have downloaded the toolbox and reflashed the recovery, also tried flashing the stock recovery but nothing is working. When attempting to boot into recovery through bootladder, absolutely nothing happens and it just stays stuck on that screen. If I attempt the manual method, then it stays stuck on the 1+ loading screen.
Thanks in advance.

Cant boot into TWRP

Hello, ive unlocked my bootloader on my h870 and ive flashed twrp. when ive just flashed it i was able to boot into twrp but now everytime i try to boot into it it wil wipe all my data with the stock lg recovery mode can someoneone please help me? Thanks! Just got the phone a few hours ago

You have to install a custom rom or root to make twrp permanent, if you don't do that it will install always after the first boot the stock recovery.

You need to reflash twrp with the bootloader like the first time.

When you have flashed twrp, you do the buton combination to enter twrp, if you fail to enter twrp a the phone boots into system the stock recovery will be reflashed so you have to reflash twrp.
Try making these:
When you are in the bootloader after flashing twrp press button down+ power button. When the screen turns off quickly stop pressing power button and quickly press again until the lg logo appear.
When the lg logo appear stop pressing power button, quickly press again and stop pressing the power button and press again quickly until you see twrp logo.
These method works for me for booting twrp easily

The stock recovery appears but you have to select the factory reset option and it will boot into TWRP

Hey, i have the same Problem, my TWRP broke, i can't boot into recovery and my Device ist not listed in fastboot mode. Can someone help me out?
I get the ring in windows when i plugin but its not recognizing.. Can someone pls help me out?

Okay, I'm going to try to explain it, and see if I can succeed where others have not.
You install TWRP by booting to bootloader and using fastboot to push a new recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It seems like you accomplished that successfully. The next step is to immediately boot to recovery; do not boot the phone to system first. You will get the factory prompts for wiping data, but it will not actually wipe your data this time. Instead it will boot to TWRP.
Now, while you are in TWRP, you need to either root (flash Magisk) or install a custom ROM. If you do not, your next boot to system will remove TWRP and restore the stock recovery. If that happens, then the data-wiping prompts the next time you boot to recovery are real and the phone will wipe. So you MUST - must must must - root or install a custom ROM while you have TWRP up, in order for TWRP to persist.
If you have already experienced this problem, you need to start over at the beginning; flash TWRP again, and then follow the rest of these directions.
Maybe this will help clear up the problem for you guys.

Oh my god, i really really thanks for your reply, you're so fre*king good. U made my day.

Guys a little help
I only manage to see the TWRP welcome screen and the the phone automatically reboots to system
I can't get to see the TWRP menu at all!!
WTF is going on?
I have repeated the process many many times and always the same. What i am missing here?!?!?

me too when it boots in twrp only showing logo then it reboots in system what are wedoing wrong?

Got the same problem. I unlocked Bootloader, checked if unlocked (yes). After flashing TWRP i see the TeamWin Screen and phone boot again. There is no TeamWin Menu.
A try with an older TWRP-Version and flashing via fastboot with another PC does not work too.
Anybody an idea?

Did you guys manage to fix it?
Matt.

With 3.2.1.0, 3.2.2.0 and 3.2.3.0 it only briefly shows the TWRP screen and then boots into system anyway.
With 3.1.1.0 the key combination to boot into TWRP as with the other versions above simply doesn't work, again it directly boots into system without even showing the TWRP screen.
I'm stuck with a resetted phone because of this bull****, because some instructions said "oh, the reset dialog will not really reset your data..." - yeah thanks for nothing, buddy.
So what now?
EDIT: I got it working using TWRP 3.1.1.0, but the same version from the OFFICIAL site didn't work, as I described above.
The only 3.1.1.0 TWRP that works with my phone is the one from this Link: http://downloads.codefi.re/rashed/g6/
(which is linked ... somewhere here in the Forum, don't remember which thread)

[Help!] LG V20 H91810p [T-Mobile] Bricked???

Okay, so time for the ultimate idiocy.
I think I may have perma-bricked my brand new phone.
Yes, I had backups, but in a state of panic I wiped those on accident like the biggest dumbass alive.
My steps were as follows.
1. unlocked the bootloader
2. downgraded to 10p
3. installed twrp first into download and then into recovery
4. rooted via flashing supersu first
5. remembered this phone had nfc and decided android pay was rad and I didnt want it blocked
6. looked into magisk
7. unrooted supersu (full unroot including stock boot img), rooted magisk
8. everything was absolutely fine until an application (official twrp app thing) requested root access
9. phone crashed completely, stuck on LG splash screen
at this point I could still access twrp via download mode, but not recovery (the button combo didnt work.)
10. wiped dalvik and cache, nothing
11. full wipe, nothing
12. tried installing a couple different ROMs, still stuck on LG splash
I think here's where I ****ed up the worst. in my attempt to get back to stock I reflashed the laf thing so I could flash a kdz via LGUP.
Uppercut no longer found my device, though, so that eliminated that as an option. Biggest problem is download mode was my ONLY way into TWRP. So now I can't access recovery, download mode doesn't work, and I can't boot so I can get into adb.
Oh and not even the charging screen comes up, by the way.
Is it even possible to save this damned paperweight now?? :crying::crying::crying:

Edit: Did not work. I feel as though download mode might be broken? And LGUP doesn't recognize my device either.

A number of ways..
1. Vol Down + Power til LG Logo, let go, press again
2. Vol Down + Power til LG Logo, let go
3. Vol Down + Power til the "bricked point" (LG Logo dims slightly like it does before moving to next screen, but stays on splash)

I finally got it to work (I think), but it seems it didn't truly flash twrp like I had tried to do, I'm at "factory data reset" should I try this anyways?
(I had tried flashing twrp to recovery via the download-accessed version of twrp. I didn't know how else to do it that would respond - using anything adb/fastboot didn't pick up my device.)

Didn't work, ended up timing out. However, I did find a small ray of hope. After erasing via factory reset, I discovered that LGUP no longer said there was no handset connected. It did give me the following errors, though.
1. When using a modded version of LGUP: Could not load the model
2. When using uppercut: DLL for H91810p is invalid
3. When using regular LGUP: No handset.
BUT. I managed to get into it anyways by removing the modded version and then trying Uppercut... and now I'm gonna flash that ****in' kdz… fingers crossed..
