[Q] Cant enter factory reset mode (devide turned off)

Got an LG G2 D802 which recently was stuck in fastboot only,no download mode not anything at all,
after many tries and errors i managed to boot to download mode and flash an apropriate version.
The thing is from that moment i cant seem to get in factory reset screen through Power Down + Power button as it used on the beginning i press the is im supposed and the phone just normaly boots,never get on factory reset or recovery,I can only enter the recovery via application from playstore called Reboot Recovery.
I can still factory reset from settings but i want to know why i cant enter with the other way and i think it a necessary function to have just in case.
How can i fix this in order to get in factory reset when the device is turned off?
How can i install twrp without autorec because this was the problem which bricked my phone?(download zip and install from current recovery?)which twrp do i need for the following device?
Any info on dorimanx kernel?
Android version 4.4.2
Build Number KOT49I.D80220h
kernel version 3.4.0
Model LG G2 D802

You're running 4.4.2 which is KitKat. KitKat Recovery is accessed by holding PWR + VOL DWN, then when the LG logo appears, switching to VOL DWN + VOL UP. You are trying the old method for Jellybean Recovery.

BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WORKING ADB DRIVERS INSTALLED AND CAN CONFIRM COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR PHONE VIA ADB COMMANDS!
You can install TWRP without autorec, which will result in keeping your KitKat bootloader. This method is also called BUMP. Follow my steps:
1. Download your KDZ from here. If you are already running Stock KitKat, no need.. just continue to step 2. I like to do everything from a clean/fresh installation that's all.
2. Root your stock KK with StumpROOT.
3. Download Bumped TWRP from here.
Extract the recovery.img file from the downloaded TWRP .rar archive.
4. Next we need your boot.img file currently on your phone. We can extract your boot.img to your sdcard by running the following command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
Once your boot.img is on your sdcard, move it to your computer via usb or adb, your choice.
5. Download Windows BUMP Tool.
6. Bump your boot.img file with the Windows BUMP Tool. This will result in a newly created bumped.img file. Delete your original boot.img and rename bumped.img to boot.img
7. Next we need to force your phone into fastboot mode (as much as that might scare you!), we can do that by running the following command via adb/shell.
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
8. BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, You should have 2 files on your computer: recovery.img, and your newly renamed boot.img (bumped with the Windows BUMP Tool). Next we need to reboot the phone in order to get into fastboot mode. So, REBOOT.
9. When your device reboots it will boot into fastboot as we nullified the boot partition. We now need to connect our device via adb and run the following commands,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
These commands require your recovery.img and boot.img to be in the same folder as your fastboot.exe file.
(See the image below for an example)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Once successfully flashing your bumped recovery and bumped boot.img, run the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
.
That's it! You now installed TWRP without AutoRec, and kept your KitKat bootloader.

ALWAYS A BUMPED TWRP RECOVERY FROM HERE.

Dorimanx Kernel works great with a KK Bootloader, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A BUMPED VERSION OF THE DORIMANX KERNEL. All versions of Dorimanx above 9.1 are BUMPED.

I'll try your steps when i go home,
i've got installed the minimal adb driver which i found in my search for fixi g the fastboot problem of g2 i think this will be enough right?
for the twrp recovery cant i install it via sideload?from the recovery that it has now which is not twrp/cwm,its something else i dont know what but it has wipe cache install from cache install fro sideload

That should be okay. As long as you can use the fastboot command and fastboot.exe is present.

I have no idea, I've never used sideload before. I'm just giving you my solution to installing TWRP without AutoRec from the facts stated in your original post. We both have the D802 model and my methods above have worked flawlessly for me multiple times after reflashing a compatible KDZ. Good luck and take it slow.

Download and install TWRP recovery. Special thanks to @shakalaca for the first TWRP builds for our device!
Warning!
Always have your original firmware, recovery and boot files in case things don't go as expected
Backup all of your personal data!
Prerequisites
Adb and Fastboot installed. I recommend you to install it from HERE.
Drivers installed. Try using these or Universal ADB Drivers
Download
Grab the recovery img file from any of the mirrors:
MEGA (Shakalaca builds)
AndroidFileHost
Try it!
This is for you if you just want to temporary boot into TWRP recovery without replacing your current installed recovery. In case you need to flash a single zip, or just becuase it's your will not to install it!
Connect your device to your computer and boot it into bootloader mode. Turn off the device and press Volume up + Power button. Or by using adb command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now open a terminal window inside the folder where the twrp recovery img file is placed and run the command:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp img file name>
This command will NOT replace yout current recovery, it will temporary boot into TWRP recovery. This means once you are done using it, reboot your device and you will still have your current recovery untouched.​Install it!
In order to install TWRP and replace your current recovery follow the next instructions.
Connect your device to your computer and boot it into bootloader mode as described in the previous step. Now open a terminal window inside the folder where the twrp recovery img file is placed and run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <twrp img file name>
Done! Enjoy your fresh installed TWRP recovery!​

Thanks

Just a heads up, With shaka's TWRP for the zenfone 3 zs550kl, I recieved ERROR 7 when flashing the Android 7 zip file. Flashed stock recovery and everything was fine.
Tried after that to boot from TWRP and it never booted into android, gave it a good 20mins. Figured you might want this information here.
Thanks for the development!

Hello, i tried fastboot boot <twrp img file name> but FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed) can you help me please?

This is not a boot.img, this is a recovery.
Google the steps to flashing twrp and you will find a guide for flashing the recovery.

Why i cant unlock bootloader ? I tried using from official website but i'm getting error failed map blabla. Please help

try download the first image on support asus and open recovery to flash and try again

So unlocked bootloader is not needed to flash twrp and then root?

TWRP can't decrypt device even with the right password...

I have to assume this is the case. I'm planning to buy the phone within the next month.

This recovery did not work for me. I was able to flash it and run it, but could not install any roms after formatting.
Luckily the recovery made by 7to ended up working fine

Has anyone tried to flash TWRP without unlocking the Mi8? (i'll try with v3.2.3)
Can I brick my phone if I try?
Does it include a function to resize system partitions?
If I get to flash it with the bootloader locked.... Will I be able to further flash any ROM without unlocking?
Can I also flash TWRP with MiFlash?
Regards

Not Recommend to modify anything before unlock bootloader
If you just do without modify anything except /data/, it will be fine(try it without flash it)
This Recovery is for Mi8 SE(SE,NOT MI8), and THIS recovery doesnt have a function to resize system partition
you can flash mi8's twrp recovery without unlock(technically,NOT SURE 100% SUCCESS) flash it via recovery(boot the recovery ,and flash recovery in recovery )
You can flash any third party rom Until you unlock bootloader (or flash modified bootloader like this (not let you flash this))
You can flash any recovery via MiFlash(in fastboot(not sure) mode or in 9008 flash mode),it will not check your files(NOT SURE it will boot successfully)

Hello!
Thanks for your work, truly appreciate it.
Could you update the OP with the install method that I'm going to describe next? It's just to avoid future complications (lost of Wi-Fi, sound, etc...) for Noob users.
Download the OrangeFox zip file and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)
Extract the recovery.img from the zip and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC
Open a cmd line and execute these commands (being on that folder, of course):
adb devices (to make sure your device is detected)
adb reboot bootloader (to reboot into fastboot mode)
fastboot getvar current-slot (to check what's your current active slot)
fastboot set_active b (if your active slot was a, if it was b then change it to a)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
fastboot reboot (NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System)​
When OrangeFox recovery boots, if you have the stock boot.img that matches the build on this "currently active" slot, flash it into boot partition. If you don't have, then just ignore this step...(it's not mandatory)
Install the OrangeFox zip (always install the latest build available)
Change slot to the one that was active on the beginning of these steps and reboot to Recovery (just to make sure that the slot, in fact, was changed)
Reboot to System
Enjoy
Why do I suggest this? Well, please read the hidden content:
By doing this method (which seems more complicated but I've tried my best to explain it as if I were explaining it to a 4 years old kid...) we will flash the recovery.img into the "inactive" slot, thus, not breaking anything on the "currently active" slot. When OrangeFox boots, it will patch both slots boot ramdisks. But the thing is, on the "currently active" slot (the one inactive on the beginning) it will patch the recovery.img but, on the "currently inactive" slot (the one that was active on the beginning), it will patch the stock boot.img, thus, no bug will happen that usually appears when a user accidentally flashes the wrong boot.img into boot partition. On the other hand, if we have the stock boot.img, that matches the build on the "inactive" slot, we could flash it into boot partition before installing the zip that patches ramdisk. By doing this we will patch both stock boot.img present on both slots (instead of patching recovery.img and boot.img).
Cheers!

Hello....again...
I've just tested the install method that I've explained but, unfortunately, it's not working.
OrangeFox recovery only boots if the installer zip is run through TWRP...don't really know why since I've tested a lot of times doing this exact same method with TWRP recovery, and it's working. It should be working here as well.
Anyway the OF recovery boots but I think that it does not decrypt data. It doesn't gets frozen on the welcome screen (like before) but it doesn't decrypt (I see all the files with the "weird" names). This, of course, is only bad for those who want to remain on stock ROM. For anyone who wants to move on to custom ROMs, just format user data and your set to go.
Cheers!

On the first image your running commands on "C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder.
On the second image your showing the files on "C:\adb" folder.
You must run the commands on the folder where you have the img file stored! Rename the file!!? WTF!?
Besides, you didn't read the instructions carefully, not only your running the command to change slot wrong but, also, you've tried to flash recovery.img into currently active slot before trying to change slot (based on your command history on first image).
PLEASE!
If you're not comfortable doing these simple steps, or if you don't have patience to read all instructions carefully, then just DON'T DO ANYTHING!!
People with this kind of behavior are the main reason why most devs often just drop development. How will you be able to successfully flash a ROM and/or report true bugs, if you're not able to just execute simple commands that have been explained step by step? Maybe my instructions weren't clear enough....perhaps I should have start the steps with:
"Turn on your computer";
"Put your hands on your keyboard and mouse";
"Login to your account";
etc....
ALSO, the recovery on the OP has been updated. Even if you did everything correctly you would end up on fastboot since your trying to flash the wrong OF version!
Please, search, please read, please...USE YOUR BRAIN!

Thanks

Don't use minimal adb, try to use platform tools for windows.

Can Orangefox recovery support for OTA updates in MiA3???

No rom for this device has ota support yet anyway. And if you mean ota for stock rom then definitely not as you need stock boot.img for stock ota or it won't work

Website and download link down at the moment or it is just for me?

Install LineageOS on evert | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
I don't have the device, but the manual says to flash to the boot partition, not to recovery.

ok i will try

Seems you have downloaded the website instead of the recovery
(Therefore the ending with *.html. Changing the filename won't change the filetype...)
On your mentioned website, click on the download-link which is named
Download twrp-3.7.0_9-0-evert.img​Now you should get a file, which is really a *.img

i can just delete ".html" in my link or add it to yours so tell me how does it works?
just saying

For me the easiest way to install twrp and not break anything is to download the installer zip and img rename the img to twrp.img then copy the installer zip to sd card and use "fastboot boot twrp.img" while in fastboot then click on install and install the zip.

Perhaps you could try downloading fom an alternative site:
Download TWRP for evert
Download TWRP Open Recovery for evert
dl.twrp.me
I wonder, if you got a complete file. Download-size is 32.5 MB. Sending recovery command gave a lower value (29252 KB) . Maybe itś correct and there is some file-overhead, but itś worth a try...?

Uninstall Minimal ADB and Fastboot, check if you have unlocked the bootloader and use >Google platform-tools<.
In addition to the comment "does not work", include the results of your commands.
Nobody but you can see them.

Yeah flashing twrp on boot worked, but now i cant turn on system

I recently ran into a similar situation. Try booting into recovery. In TWRP check if the Folder "data" is mounted. On my device, the 3.7.0 had problems. Formatting data as ext2 and back to ext4 made it readable, although of course formatting deleted all data. That worked until the next boot...
Solution was, to flash an older version of TWRP (3.2.x), afterwards it could be reflashed with the most recent version which now worked without problems.
Also, on some systems, if you flash TWRP once and try to reboot into System, the boot partition is being "repaired" by your system an TWRP is gone...

then what i need to do?
use 3.2.3-0 and flash it to the boot?

Exactly. Flash 3.2, reboot into recovery. Within TWRP you can mount USB drive, which lets you easy install anything else. (TWRP 3.7, root, ROM...)

Did you ever heard of A/B slots? The Moto G6+ uses A/B slots and does not have a partition /recovery. Of course there is a recovery but it 's merged in the boot.img. So the boot.img is able to boot into recovery and also into system.
Your TWRP image is recovery only and isn't able to boot into system!
***
What will happen when flashing TWRP to partition /boot?
In that case your boot.img = twrp.img and will only boot into recovery.
How to install TWRP permanently on your device?
First of all you should have a look at https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog6plus.html
TWRP provides an installation guide for every device and it´s recommended to follow these steps.
***
Here´s a more detailed guide:
1. In your case you have to restore the boot.img since it got overwritten by flashing your twrp.img to /boot.
If available use a backup of /boot. Otherwise flash the stock boot.img from your current running firmware version. Firmware builds can be found here:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
(take care of your software channel, i.e. RETUS)
*** Be aware that by flashing your stock boot.img Magisk will be deinstalled from ***
your device and as a result of this you will LOOSE ROOT ACCESS!! ​
2. Run
fastboot boot <TWRP.IMG>
3. On TWRP main screen go to Advanced => Install Recovery Ramdisk and pick the twrp.img:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Can I try it on normal evert twrp link?

It depends on your software channel:
RETAIL = general software build, w/o any region
RETUS = builds for U.S. region
RETIN = builds for India region
...and so on.
Beside that, there are also builds for carrier branded phones.
To find your software channel:
a) Open a terminal app and run
getprop ro.carrier
b) settings > about the phone > software channel
c) fastboot getvar all has also an entry for that, but I don't know exactly what name it is.
d) the specific model no.: XT1926-???
The last digit depends on your software channel.

I don't know what you mean. What folder? Which 4 files? The downloaded firmware is a ZIP file with one folder inside. Inside that folder are more than 20 files.
