Stuck in Recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well...not permanently. I can boot out of it.
I just rooted successfully with the method here.
When I boot into recovery, I see the horizontal android with his chest open and a red triangle. I can boot up by holding the volume (either up or down) and the power button.
ClockworkMod tells me I have both clockworkmod and TWRP installed. How do I successfully boot into Recovery?
Thanks guys!

Boot into recovery with vol down+power then use the vol rocker to cycle to recovery mode. Use power button to execute. Pretty sure it says all that when you see the android screen..

Thanks but I don't have that option in Recovery.
An update: I followed the instructions here about installing a recovery tool by pushing it through adb. What I get now is the following:
[730] Fastboot Mode Started
[780] udc_start()
Is this a soft brick? If so, how do I reverse it? I'm very frustrated!
Thanks,
Phil

Can you get into download mode? Volume up + power. If so next go to lg g2 general forum and read the flash lg g2 to stock.
If your stuck in fast boot then there is another hoop to jump through. I'll get you the info in The morning.

Download mode does work. I'll go through the steps you referred to. Thanks.

Almost there. Got it rerooted, successfully installed TWRP. Flashed cyanogenmod (newest nightly). Forgot to install GAPPS though!
I don't see an option to reboot into recovery from cyanogenmod.
What's the process for rebooting into recovery? I've tried different combinations with the volume and power buttons but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Phil

[Q] Can't boot recovery with button combo

It's very strange - I can't get to recovery by holding down power + vol-up + home buttons. The message comes up that it's booting recovery but then disappears for a second and then either powers off or boots normally.
I can boot into recovery through the toolkit/odin/goomanager however and I've also found that I can boot into recovery if I first go into download mode, press vol-down to cancel download and boot normally and then immediately press the vol-up/power/home button combination.
I have TWRP installed but I previously had philz CWM and this problem happened with both. If i remember rightly the first recovery I tried to install was the original CWM with odin but when I booted into recovery it was still the stock recovery. I'm not sure if this information is necessary though.
Can anyone help me with this or why this could be happening?

When was the last time you updated SuperSU?
Go to the playstore and download/install the latest version reboot the phone normally and after reboot reboot into recovery.
Good luck!
Thanks, that worked. I can now get into recovery with the button combo.

Booting into custom recovery

I have been using goo manager to reboot into recovery on my ls980 on a stock odex rom. I went into a bootloop while flashing a new Rom. I couldn't boot into recovery or factory erase mode using the methods that I've seen. I messed around with my phone for about an hour and finally got it to work.
What I have to do is hold power and volume down button at the same time, when the lg screen pops up release the volume down button while keeping the power button pressed. A splash screen will pop up saying entering recovery mode. It will then boot into recovery.
I searched xda and Google and haven't been able to find this method so if had already been covered I couldn't find it.

[Q] Verifying recovery mode

I am rooted and my attempt to install TWRP was unsuccessful, the ADB kept failing to keep a connection with the phone.
I want to verify that I can install the ZVA update without an issue. When I try to enter recovery mode it wont work. Tried holding the vol down and power wait for LG logo, release and hold power button until it enters recovery but it just powers down again. Using a different method I did get it into a recovery mode with the android guy and some really small writing with options in the upper left corner. IT says "Android System Recovery <3e>" Is this the factory recovery mode? How can I tell if I have the wrong recovery mode(s)?

3e is stock recovery so I'd say you're good to flash.

To get into recover turn off the phone then hold down the power button and volume down button at the same time, it will go to recovery just choose English.
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.

Try the "mega unbrick oneplus2" it will save your device, just google it and you will find an easy tutorial.

How do I boot into recovery from a bootloop?

I flashed a wrong file in twrp and my phone went into a bootloop. I want to boot into recovery to reflash the ROM but I can't do it, the phone is stuck into a continuous bootloop (stuck at the Samsung logo and vibrating over and over again). I can boot into download mode using vol down + power + home, but vol up for recovery isn't working.

1. Boot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the correct TWRP via ODIN again. Done.
2. If the step 1 doesn't work. Boot in DOWNLOAD MODE, reflash STOCK rom and reflash the TWRP, the one good for your device. Done.

Secret mode wasn't working in the Samsung browser so I flashed a zip that I found on xda that supposedly fixes this issue and cleared the cache and dalvik cache. I don't see how this could have erased twrp from my device. I currently don't have acces to a computer so I can't use Odin, is there really no way to force shutdown it or something?

Enter download mode, once you are in download mode press at the same time power + home + volume down button. As soon as the screen goes black release the volume down button and press the volume up button immediately, then it will boot up to TWRP
