My phone is stuck in a boot loop after it automatically installed an OTA update when on a custom ROM. at first recovery worked, tried installing a custom rom from fresh with the sideload in CWM, then after reboot recovery does not boot, just LG logo and restarts again. Any ideas?
Need it fixed badly no phone for 5 days now.

I just did this today, and also am out of a phone for now, apparently I lost the software, and in the process of trying to get out of the ota i blocked twrp. Anyway, does yours just go on the lg logo and have the pulsing led? Thats what mine does and I think I can get into download mode which may help. But it wont show up when I plug it in . Good luck to you, if I figure something out ill post it here.

No LED but it just loops on the LG logo over and over, no access to download at all, tried all combinations but if i hold in power+vol buttons it eventually just gives flashing red LED until i let go of the power then it starts boot looping again.

The red led is what i get when I try to go into download mode too. Just holding down the down and up takes me to that and it keeps going until i press another button. Thats odd you have no led though.
Is this just unfixable? I really need my phone back.
Its the same thing that happened to me the other day. Theres a way to fix hopefully, try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142&page=3
My posts are at the end and mine is totally unrecoverable at the moment so off to Verizon for me. There are others in my shoes too but I would try that thread first to see if you can recover. If you do go thru ubuntu and only get " /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 "
your pretty much hosed from what I gather. No one has all the files to recover from where I'm at. See my posts on page 13 and 14.
Hopefully someone can figure this out but I cant wait for it to happen. Good luck

No doesn't work, that fix requires the phone to get PAST the LG initial turn on logo, but it only comes on for 10 seconds then reboots again, not enough time for USB to enable on the phone itself so PC can't even detect it.
Just LG for 10 seconds, off, then LG for 10 seconds and does it over and over.
Anyone else with an idea?
I'd rather not send it away because don't want to get in trouble for having recovery and custom ROM on the phone.
Did you figure out the solution?
I'm stuck in bootloop too, can't connect to the phone to use adb anymore after i tried to install trwp. Download mode isn't seen by my computer...
my galaxy s4 is always boot looping into Samsung galaxy s4 screen. only the download mode screen appears but it reboots again after 5 seconds and keeps on rebooting . any help ?
Do you run with stock or custom recovery? Have you tried to (re-)flash a custom recovery (CWM highly recommended)?

Hm, if I understand you correctly, you can boot into download mode but it just lasts a couple of seconds before it reboots on its own, right? You cannot boot into recovery as the screen simply stays black. Can you boot successfully into /system or does it bootloop as well?
Sounds like a hardbrick to me, the only thing I can think of before sending your phone in for repair is to pull out the battery for 1 hour or so, reinsert it and boot directly into download mode and see if it stays there. If it does, flash a custom recovery using Odin and check whether you can boot into it afterwards.

any help?
Im also having the same problem as of this last night.
cannot boot into recovery.
boots to download mode first screen but when I attempt to press volume up to accept, it reboots.
as soon as i put the battery in it cycles through the samsung logo.
tried removing memory card but didnt help.
tried keeping battery out overnight, nothing.
last thing i changed was flashing --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860. did this about 2 days ago.
not sure if that has anything to do with it?

I think it has nothing to do with it
I'm, I was actually, on stock everything, rom, kernel and recovery
30 68336826
OK so I left my phone without a battery in it for the afternoon, just got back home and gave it a try.
It booted. No idea why or what actually went wrong.
Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
OK, So the point that the phone just start booting just the moment the battery is inserted got me thinking
IS IT THE POWER SWITCH?
and indeed it's, the power switch is stuck on, although I can feel the click when I push, still, seems like something is wrong with it
so I tried to suck it out, hit the phone softly few times while the power switch is facing the ground
inserted the battery, aaaand, it didn't start booting, pressed the power softly, and horaaaaay, it's working
Had the same issue and indeed I knocked the power button several times and it worked very well. Thank you! You saved my day

I have similar problem... and identified its power button.
How i identified is as phone switched on i hold menu button and volume down button together and
it booted in download mode, for download mode you have to keep pressing power button, volume
down button and menu button but it went without pressing power button.. so i assume that its power
button.
Try it... hope will identify your problem
same Problem
Hello!
I have the same problem, and disassemble the cell and saw that the button will operate properly .
Someone has managed to get out of this problem?
thanks a lot... i was facing same problem... i hit ma phn near power switch...again n again... it worked... love u xda
whoa, I just got this problem recently, because some of bezel around my phone has cracked, then I try to glue it roughly.
at the other hand, I tried to install new kernel. I tought that kernel make my phone bricked. then I found this thread. so I open my case. and found my glue sticked to the power button, remove it and. voilaaaa~
thank you XDA. you never cease to amaze me. lol
Hey all,
I have just run into an issue, I was installing CWM and all seemed well, but then when I had tried to boot into recovery by holding down the buttons.
However, when it would say recovery booting it would flash turn off and reboot.
I figured it was just an issue with how I was trying to get into the recovery so I used ADB to Reboot into recovery, and that went fine but now I am in a boot loop of the phone trying to get into recovery but when it isnt seeing CWM for some reason it just reboots and continues the cycle.
I would appreciate if anyone has any insight as to how I can fix this or lets hope its not this but if Im screwed at this point.
Thanks in advance,
nEmo
Gahh... This is really getting to me, I've tried everything I can think of.
No one out there has any ideas?
I know Im not being very patient but its the only phone I have access to right now
It almost seems like there is either no OS on it (I hadn't wiped anything at this point) so this is the least likely,
or there was something wrong with the version of CWM that I was trying to use.
I think why I can't connect anything or do anything like that is because it keeps trying to look for the recovery
but because CWM isn't properly there it just keeps looking for it and just keeps on going in that loop.
would love to hear from anyone.
Thanks again.

there is also temporary state for recovery and that might be the cause of this
so try to reflash recovery through adb

Thanks for the reply, I would love to do that but the part that it actually gets stuck at is before any of the OS is loaded,
What happens is when there is power to it (ie battery or when plugged into a wall socket) it will try to boot as if I had held
down the vol +, Power and home and get the "recovery booting" text, from here the screen turns off and vibrates, a second or two later it reboots and repeats.
I might try to get a video of it tomorrow.

U don't need to load OS to do this just boot to Fastboot and use adb interface
If it was useful please hit thanks
Sent from my D6503
A Million Thanks!
Thank you my good Sir!!!
Did just the trick, for some reason I totally overlooked Fastboot.
Always helps to have someone to bounce ideas off of, or someone that knows what they are doing ! HAHA

Hello, so as the title mentioned, I am in something of a similar predicament. Odin Mode is stuck, and it won't recognize any recovery on the phone. How do you boot into fastboot? Could you describe what you did? Thank you in advance.
Odin mode and recovery mode are two different things. You can't get into download mode where you see the android with the shovel?
Hi Guys,
I tried to root my S4 GT9500 using the galaxy for root dot com site and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
I cant even get into recovery mode. The phone just reboots continuously. I got stuck when trying to install the supersu app
and it just went downhill and the reboots started. When I try the home, power and vol up buttons keystrokes,
I cannot get into recovery mode. When I try download mode, it gets there but as soon as i hit the volume up, it reboots again
Can someone guide me to fix my mess please
I hope this has not been asked before.

If you can't enter in recovery mode then try to put it in download mode and flash a stock ROM. When you flash a new kernel to root your phone you must check if the kernel that you are flashing is compatible with the current android version, I mean, if you flash a kitkat kernel and you have a lollipop rom you will get bootloops for sure.
Download mode reboots also after 1 second also

Maybe the problem is your power button being stuck if it just shows galaxy logo and reboots every time.

I agree with this. Also you said that in download mode it reboots after one second.
Or it can also be ur battery, u should try a different one
Also you can try flashing twrp recovery from odin again. Some steps may make the recovery.img broken. If you reinstall it that may work. (I faced such a problem and I solve in that way)
so it does appear to be a stuck power button because if I press home and volume down, it still goes into download mod. Let me see how I can fix that now. Thanks all.

Battery was good, tested it on my working S4
Hi guys, I have a problem with my LG G2 16gb. Today I have upgraded CM 13 with the last nightly. After having flashed Rom and Gapps I rebooted the system. The system runs but with some bugs (dialer crashes, screen doesn't wake up anymore when it goes in standby mode). So I decided to come back to the previous nightly, but I suddenly appreciated that I can't go in recovery mode.
I can go in download mode but both Flashtool and SRKtool don't work. I really don't know how to do.
I admit that I'm not able to resolve 2% problem with the fix.
I read that if I try to flash a firmware 10A then Flashtool should work, but I didn't manage to find a mirror of it.
Someone could help me? I Would be grateful
Same problem here. Flashed from cm-13.0-20160427 to cm-13.0-20160430 and now have the same problems. Using d802 with twrp-3.0.2-0
CM is booting, but has the same bugs as written above - no dialer, once in standby screen doesnt wake up any more.
I tried to reboot in Recovery from booted CM, the Phone is hanging with the "Reboot" on Screen. Same with normal reboot or shutdown. It just hangs. The Combination with the Volume Key Down & Power wont let me in Recovery as usual.
CM13 ist really awesome and nightly to nightly it was getting better, but the nightly today just went that wrong.
Would be nice if there is some solution to get the phone back working.
Thanks a lot for any advice or help!!!
Greetings,
Feldinos

I had some problems with booting into recovery as wel. CM13's latest nightly kept freezing my phone and I wanted to go back to my previous backup, but I couldn't boot into recovery from anywhere. Luckily I remembered that the button combination has changed with the latest bootstack I installed. It'sn now like this:
Force a shutdown by holding the power button. As soon as it goes black, press power + vol down, release as soon as the logo appears and then hold vol down + vol up. Then you should be able to get into recovery.

Thanks a lot for that information! Almost forgotten that i had installed an new boostack as i flashed the first CM13 nightly that was released.
I was now able to get in recovery and flash 04-27 nightly. Now my phone works normal like it does before i flashed 04-30.

When it reaches 2%, it suddenly appears a message telling me that my g2 is disconnected.
Unfortunately for modding, I installed w10. My pc has gotten better, but almost all the programs for modding don't work anymore. In addition to this, I didn't found drivers working well.
I'm thinking about restore w8.1.
There's a way to fix the problem of 2%, but I am not so prepared to use adb.. I'm aware about my limits

You're welcome As long as you can remember the different button combinations to get into recovery, you shouldn't be afraid to flash roms. Just never forget to make a nandroid backup before upgrading any rom!
If you start to flash roms, you WILL mess up at least once And this time, it wasn't actually your fault, CM13 messed up.
